Very personable! Showed up on time and did an outstanding job.
As always your team is very professional, courteous and speaks highly of your company. You have good skilled staff working for you from office to frontline. Continue to take care of them and they will continue to take care of your customers. It is exceptional how they treat your customers as they know they have options. Interstate Heat and Air sets the bar for everyone else to try and reach. You guys are real customer service. JC was great and good luck and congratulations on new baby on the way.
Very knowledgeable and pleasant! Would like Isaac to service my heat and air every time!
Kevin was at my house last week for annual heater service check and made necessary adjustments, which he explained to me. After he left I noticed a change in the heat throughout my house and called Interstate back again and asked to have Kevin stop by and talk to me about it. He explained what he had accomplished while here and why it impacted the heat in my house. He checked temps coming from different vent locations in the house and explained why temps would be different. So very knowledgeable and personable.
The tech came out the same day and was very kind. He was quick and finding and fixing the problem and informed us of ways to better maximize our heat.
This asks to share my opinion. Your company and staff definitely set the standard for everyone else. Honest, friendly, experienced and know that we are the customer. We have been using Interstate heat and air for 2 years now. Your in office staff and field staff are the best. Excellent communication all the way to technician is on his way. Technician explains everything of service performed. Willing to answer any question and explain clearly. Kudos for your company having longevity in staff. It is nice to see familiar faces. It does make a statement about Interstate heat and air that you are able to maintain staff and it not being a rotating door.
Interstate personnel arrive within the scheduled time frame and do a very thorough job.
Tom M. 12-13-24. Blue Shield furnace maintenance. Replaced air filters. Cleaned flame sensor. Blower motor is variable speed bearings are good. Inspected the heat exchanger noticed no issues. Flue Co 7 ppm, fuel efficiency 79.7%. Set gas pressure. IDM amps 1.5 and is max rated for 1.7. The furnace will not kick into second stage on its own. Allowed it to run for 30 minutes. The furnace is setup to default into second stage due to no w2 wire. If I jump it at the board it will kick into second stage. The customer stated she will keep an eye on it. Recommended upgrading the furnace and or furnace and ac due to being past its typical life expectancy and second stage not working properly.
Came out to perform preventative maintenance on furnace. Discussed with customer about maintenance being provided, filter needing changed, and anything I can look into for him.

Cleaned flame sensor and brushed dust off the burners and components. Checked thermostat operation, wiring, amps, temperature rise and gas pressure of furnace. System overall is heating properly within manufactured specifications
Austinz 12/2/24 Completed the furnace tuneup. After going through the system throughly I did discover that the igniter was getting worn out and getting bad along with the combustion levels for the amount of C.O in the flue wasn’t to pare as it should be. After speaking with the homeowner she didn’t want to do any repairs as of now because she wants to invest her money into taking care of the system and replace it soon. She will call us to confirm getting the system changed out. As of now the system is still working and no danger of co was parent as of now.

Duct cleaning. Joe(JC)R. 11/19/2024 I arrived to perform the customer’s duct cleaning. I put down drop cloths, removed all the vents and inspected the ductwork.

Jake Kring. 11-19-24. I arrived for a silver fall tune up on a 10 year old system. I first spoke with the homeowner and we discussed that part that I found weak on the last summer tune up and we discussed what the part was and how it effects the system when it’s running weak. We decided to check the same part today and see how it looks at this time. I first inspected all electrical connections and the furnace operation. The system is clean and it shows that the homeowner is rep the filters as needed. The blower capacitor is what was running weak on the last service and I found it to be reading the same 4.1 MDF under load. I let the homeowner know it’s running the same and we decided to replace the part at this time. Once I replaced the part I rechecked the systems electrical readings and found the new capacitor to be reading 7.48 MFD under load. The range we are aloud to be is for a 7.5 MFD capacitor is between 7.05 and 7.95. The new part is running correctly and will have a 10 year la

11-06-24. Jake Kring. I arrived for a previous customer no heat call. I spoke with the homeowner and found that the system has been running but it’s shutting off and the thermostat temperature is dropping. I inspected the furnace and found the system to be on a permanent lock out. I reset the furnace and cycled the system on with all appropriate tools connected to check the gas pressure and how the system is running. I found the furnace to come on and flash out of the combustion manifold box. The furnace stayed light and the blower cycled on. The gas pressure was reading 3.36 IWC and the stack temperature and the stack readings were pretty normal. I then let the system run and the furnace stayed running with no issues showing as to why it shot of at this time. I then set up my carbon monoxide detector in the living room and let it set while I put the furnace back together. When I went back to check the CO detector I found it to be reading 0-5 PPM at any given time. I then went back to
