We have been delighted to have consistently great experiences with R S Andrews. The service techs are knowledgeable and friendly. They take the time to properly explain things and they look for ways to keep costs low. What more could you ask for?
We have used them for years and the workers are very nice and do know what needs to be done,they keep up with the changes we need to make and tell us what they have to repair or replace well explained.
In July, 2014 R. S. Andrews replaced a condensing unit at my home. In June, 2016 the system stopped cooling and I contacted R. S. Andrews regarding the problem. A technician responded and his evaluation of the problem indicated that the system was low on refrigerant. The technician added refrigerant and the system was returned to service. Further investigation indicated that the cause of the problem was a leak in the condensing coil that was installed in July, 2014. The manufacturer of the condensing unit provided a 10-year warrant on the condensing coil. However, the warrant on the labor to replace the coil was only 12 months. R. S. Andrews ultimately replaced the defective coil at an initial cost, including the service call to troubleshoot the problem, of $770.00. Following the completion of the work I discussed the problem and associated repairs with R. S. Andrews Service Manager. It was fairly clear that the root cause of the failure was a latent manufacturing defect in the coil that was installed in July, 2014. It seemed unreasonable that there should be a labor charge for replacing a component with a 10-year warrant that failed in less than two years. The R. S. Andrews Service Manager agreed and he refunded the entire cost of the repairs. R. S. Andrews remained open minded regarding the circumstances associated with this specific problem, and subsequently resolved the issue in a fair and reasonable manner.
In July, 2014 R. S. Andrews installed a new condensing unit, evaporator coil and upgraded outlet plenum in an air conditioning system at my home for $3,714.00. The original installation went well and the system was trouble free until June, 2016. At that time, the system quite cooling and I requested a service call to troubleshoot the problem. The technician found that the system was low on refrigerant and ultimately determined that there was a leak in the condenser coil. The coil had a 10-year warranty, however, R. S. Andrews only provides a 1-year labor warranty. The labor quoted to replace the coil is $596.00, which includes a $500.00 “discount”. The total cost associated with resolving this issue, including Standard Diagnostics, Misc. Repair and coil replacement will be $770.00, all because of a premature failure of a component supplied by R. S. Andrews. One would hope that when a major component with a 10-year warranty fails after only 23 months that a reputable contractor would feel compelled to stand behind the equipment that they chose to supply.
Called in the evening and they squeezed me in the next afternoon. The technician knew exactly what was wrong and fixed it in 10 minutes.
The plumbing team was excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable. Did a great job getting rid of a leak in our crawl space! Will use R.S. Andrews again
Great Service, Fair Price and On Time
Response from RS Andrews:
Thank you for your review !! :)
He arrived even earlier than expected and quickly had an explanation for why our heat wasn't working. He made the repair and changed the filter for me. I also renewed my service while I was at it. All went very smoothly. I appreciate being seen the same day so that we wouldn't have to be cold any more!
