We booked a chimney inspection/cleaning deal with Air of America (AOA Service Group Inc.). The…read moretechnician's "inspection" consisted strictly of shining a smartphone flashlight into the firebox and looking up at the top of the chimney from the yard. He never climbed a ladder, accessed the roof, used a flue camera, or cleaned the chimney. Despite never actually inspecting the top of the chimney, he immediately claimed we had structural damage and quoted, with misspellings, $1,299 for a "Spark arstor riper" (Spark Arrestor Repair) and "Chase cover riper." (Chase Cover Repair) He claimed the soot discoloration visible from the ground meant it was failing, and then offered us the typical sales fake "neighbor referral discount" for $700, explicitly telling us NOT to mention the deal to his manager, if we agreed on the spot. It would also include the inspection/cleaning which was what the original call was about using one of their deals. He mentioned usually a full replacement would be $10K. We said no and only paid an inspection fee. After he left, I flew a drone up to check the chimney myself. The spark arrestor mesh is completely intact and fine, and the chase cover only has minor surface rust with zero structural damage. Quoting $1,299 in top-structure repairs on parts he never inspected, using only a phone light inside, and stacking arbitrary discounts to pressure us into signing on the spot is predatory. Avoid this company.

i requested a fireplace cleaning. I have a ventless gas fireplace. Upon arriving he kept sending…read morehis assistant out to the truck for tools he needed(not prepseed). Seconding was told when i scheduled the appointment they would inspect for issues, if any, and make us aware. The only thing he made us aware of is was the gasket was wearing around the glass. So, what was bad on the inside wasn't told to us until after he cleaned it and was pulling off to leave. We turned the fireplace on and we were getting the same smell as before we got it cleaned. We stopped them and asked them to come back in. That is when we're told and shown the damage inside the fireplace. It was rusted, stuff was peeling off the metal and the smell was worse than before. He turned it off and the pilot and told us not to use it. So bottom is we were charged $229 for something we couldn't use and we weren't told of the damage after the fact. i will be calling this office on Monday to complain about this. I said nothing to the tech. I even asked to get an estimate for a new one just to see if he would mention what took place with this one. Charging me for something he knew was bad, not speaking out until after the fact. Possibly putting our health At risk for not telling us up front about the damages to it. I want to speak to the owner of the company about this!

I called this company for a diagnostic repair because my gas fireplace was not working. From the…read morestart, I pointed out that I suspected the pilot light assembly was the issue, since it is a common failure point. Two technicians came out and told me the entire fireplace needed to be replaced due to rust, quoting approximately $4,000. As an engineer who works on ships, I am very familiar with the difference between cosmetic rust and structural failure. The rust present was clearly superficial and did not justify replacing the entire unit. I decided to get a second opinion from another company, and they confirmed the problem was the pilot light assembly. They repaired and cleaned the fireplace for under $600, and the unit now works perfectly. I highly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to major replacements, as this diagnosis could have resulted in thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.

This was the second HVAC installation at our home in less than three weeks…read more So dissatisfied were we with the first company, that we had the system pulled back out and we went almost a week without a system. Air Specialty Heating and Air, installed another system, yesterday. From the get go things were done in a more professional manner. Rather than jumping to and only offering the most expensive solution($16,000) --which clearly wasn't working-- our Sales Solution and Information Advisor T. Mulè addressed our issues and offered us three possible solutions. Upon further discussion and suggestions, we scaled back and went with the tried and true, 2-stage RUUD solution, an upgrade from our original system(Goodman). With the first new system(the one we had removed), a variable stage 3t York system, our upstairs became almost uninhabitable, with the temperature never coming down to the set point (73), and humidity above 50%. The system struggled to reach 73 degrees! (Our old downstairs system holds easily at 72 degrees and 36% humidity, and old upstairs was matching those numbers until it finally died...) Adding that the York ran continuously and while whisper quiet outside, ran like a jet engine overhead inside the home where, I really didn't want to hear it! It never stopped, it rarely hit 73 degrees and the humidity was always higher than comfort level. The first day of install, it took 8-hours to cool from 88 degrees inside down to 78 degrees, with humidity in the mid-50s to mid-60s! This new RUUD almost immediately hit the set point of 73 and the humidity dropped to 43%! (Less than 4-hours) And the installation process itself was far more professionally done. Upon going into the attic after the three installers left, I was amazed to find just how neatly the job had been completed.. The previous installers left a real mess behind. Loose screws on the floor holes in the sheathing, the overflow wasn't even over the pan. The three installers (Matt's team) with "Air Specialty," left the attic in beautiful condition. All of the mess was cleaned up. Everything was tied and in place. Access to the system is easy to reach. Moreover, they even left the manual in a hanging folder within reach of the system. Honestly, there was a night and day difference in the install process and the system solution match for the home. I would, without reservation, recommend Air Specialty Heating and Air for any HVAC needs!
