Hot Water Tank Replaced

Had hot water tank replaced. Not the usual good service I've had before with Dr HVAC. Read the label off to them: 60 US/50 Imp gallon. Discussed maybe getting bigger one, but they said usually replace with same size, and I say ok. But they brought a SMALLER one, which I did not find out about until after old one had been cut out. Felt I had to take the smaller one at that point - late Friday, no hot water, and they don't work weekends.
Installation went ok but when they left the hot water was still not working as it used to, installers said it will take a little time to get back to normal. But it got worse and stopped. I called Dr HVAC back and they said they will get back to me within a day but I asked for sooner. So they did call me back within 30 min, and in the meantime I figured out that the installer had left the intake valve closed. Once I opened that all was well.
So in the end I have a good working HWT but it is smaller than expected, and I am hoping I did not make a mistake in accepting the smaller one. I felt I paid a premium price for less than premium service.

Humidifier installation

My rating is based on a combination of the work performed + the experience I had.
This was for them to install a humidifier that I purchased myself elsewhere. Though everyone I dealt with was nice and seemed good, things didnt go very smoothly. Some of it they couldnt be faulted for. At the moment, Im still awaiting resolution for a pinhole leak in a tube that caused a small flood in my basement that I was lucky enough to notice before it got worse. The humidifier has been switched off since then awaiting a fix.
My low rating is based on the experience I had post-installation trying to get things fixed. The primary complaint I have is theyre just not easily reachable. There is only one main phone number answered by essentially a message taker receptionist who has no access to customer data. They apparently have no way to look you up when you call in. So each time I had to spell out my full name, my address, City, phone number etc. When I struggle to find a few minutes in my workday to call in and I have to spend an unreasonable amount of time just to give my information and not even get to speak to anyone, its a terrible customer experience. In this day and age, it seems very unprofessional and doesnt fit with the rest of the experience I had. I wasnt even able to find an email address I could use to contact them. In most cases, my calls werent returned in a reasonable timeframe and I had to call back again.
However - they were super responsive to respond to my initial inquiry through Homestars and to book my appointment. They do a great job of confirming your appointment by text and reminding you. Logistics experience fell off drastically once the installation was done and I needed post sale support.
In summary - Id feel reasonably comfortable recommending their work but if there are any issues after, the experience was quite poor.
Im awaiting a call back once again as we speak. And Im really hoping the company response back to this isnt to give them a call back at their main number where Id have to leave a message once again and pray for a call back.

Terrible Customer Service

The furnace in my RV recently broke down; after calling around to numerous places with no luck, Dr. HVAC said they could repair it. Their tech (Chris) came and did a thorough and professional job finding the cause of the malfunction. He noted the parts that would be required and said they'd be in contact with me in a few days. Great.
That's when it all headed south. A week passed with no call. I phoned the office and was told by the CSR that they can't get the parts, the entire furnace would have to be replaced, and they'd get back to me.
Fine.
After another week of nothing I called and the CSR said my furnace model isn't being made anymore, they're looking for a replacement. At no time was there anyone else other than a CSR to talk to.
After a third week of silence I searched around and found a used furnace and installed it myself. When I called them - twice - afterwards to tell them I no longer needed their service, all I got was an answering machine. Blacklisted? I wonder.
Hey, if you can't complete a job you started, that's fine, but at least have the professionalism and common courtesy to let your customer know that. They left me completely in the dark. And the cold.

Furnace Repair

Our furnace would start, but would not generate heat. We placed a service call with Ashley who arranged for Steve Berry to address our problem. Steve discovered an issue with one of the pressure switch tubes-foreign object causing a blockage which prevented the furnace from functioning properly. Steve quickly resolved the problem and checked out the furnace to ensure it was working exactly as it is expected....fast, efficient, cordial and pleasant service. Steve acted professionally and was more than willing to take the time to explain his investigative and resolution techniques to us in layman's terms. Excellent service, Steve....Thank you!

Furnace issue

Our furnace was leaking water for a over a week. Called Doctor Hvac and Katie, Service Technician, was assigned to our request. Katie was polite, extremely knowledgeable, did not rush through the job and identified our issue right away. Our furnace was installed in an awkward position/location making it very difficult to access the area that needed to be looked at to resolve the problem. Katie took the time and tools needed to get to the area and resolved our issue. Will definitely request Katie again!

Disconnect pool heater, clean gas fireplace

Chris D arrived on time and was polite, professional and knowledgeable. He immediately got to work and disconnected our old pool heater from the gas line and safely capped it. He even carted off the old unit single-handedly. Chris then inspected and cleaned our gas fireplace ensuring that it was working properly and left the area clean and safe. Good company with expert techs like Chris, would recommend for your HVAC needs.

A/C and furnace

Heat wave. A/C stopped working yesterday morning. Today A/C installed along with a new furnace. Many thanks to Bruna for coming to the rescue yesterday evening. Many thanks to Trevor and Chris M. They did what they do, and they did it superbly. Two intelligent and fine young men, wearing their uniforms. Areas were left clean and clear. They are definitely an asset to Dr. HVAC.

Emergency Call

Our A/C unit tripped off twice over a couple of hot days, so we made the call to Dr HVAC. Their tech expert, showed up on time and did a thorough analysis. All readings and equipment checked out as meeting specs. However, the expert found a cricket on the capacitor which most likely caused a sort. There were no other possible answers at this time. We are very please to be on the maintenance program and as promised, get very fast service. I would recommend Dr HVAC to anyone.

AC replacement + service club membership

Had AC replaced in August 2021. Dr HVAC did a furnace checkup in November, and called to remind me in July that I had not yet booked the free AC checkup for this summer. They scheduled and completed the checkup within 2 days of their call. The service tech did the checkup, wrote a complete report and talked it over with us. It was professionally handled both by the back office and the service staff. Keep up the good work...
