Great Company

I have been a customer with Parent Heating and Cooling for over twenty years. I have always been impressed with the skill level of their technicians and the organization of those working in the office. In all that time I have always felt secure with Parent. I wholeheartedly recommend this company!

Furnace , AC service

I have been a customer for over 10 years . I was very happy with the change over Parent did from oil to natural gas and the annual maintenance of furnace, hot water tank and AC has been very satisfactory . When there have been problems they have been quickly and satisfactorily addressed. Wendy , the contact person , is available , polite and helpful. I am very happy with the service .

Parent broke our boiler

On January 15th 2022, our boiler stopped working. Our regular HVAC company was not available so we called Parent, and a technician was sent to our home. The technician was polite and communicated well, but it was clear that he did not have much experience with boilers. He spent most of the two-hour service call on the phone with a senior technician. After the job was completed, he stated that he had broken a piece of the flame rod - I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or by accident - and that the repair may be temporary. The boiler was working after his repair but was still producing error messages, and he said we should get the boiler checked if the errors persisted. Later that week, the boiler stopped working, and we called our regular company for an appointment. They determined that two parts needed to be replaced - the flame rod and spark igniter. Our boiler was still under warranty, but the boiler manufacturer was not willing to replace one of the parts because it was broken by the Parent technician. This is unfortunate and means we needed to pay $350 to get the part replaced because of the work done by Parent. It is also unfortunate that the service call took 2 hours instead of 1 because of the Parent technician's lack of experience, which adds another $220 to the cost of the repairs. In summary, Parent's lack of expertise with boilers cost us an additional $570 ($220 for the lengthy service call and $350 for the broken part). We reached out to Parent to see if they could do anything to rectify the situation and we did not receive a response.

Heat Pump Installation

We just had a heat pump installed by Parent Heating and Cooling. Luc visited our home to tell us about them, the best kind for our installation and to give us a quote. A date was set and installers Stephan and Zain arrived on the date at the time set . We were VERY impressed with their professional work and would highly recommend Parent Heating and Cooling.

Complete HVAC system replaced

Has Parent do a conversion from electric baseboard heating to a completely new natural gas forced air system including air conditioning. The end result was a decent job, but we only found out a year later while having the annual maintenance done that they didn't setup the system properly and it was only functioning at 40%. We thought the upstairs bedrooms weren't being heated or cooled properly due to the indirect duct routing necessitated by the retrofit. After the proper adjustments, the system worked much better. Oh and during the install, my wife caught one of the guys standing on the arm of my couch instead of a ladder. He ended up breaking the arm but my wife his it from me for a couple of months so it was too late to try and get the company to replace it.

Furnace and a/c maintenance?

We had Parent heating and cooling come to do our 2015 maintenance for our furnace and a/c last fall. They told us our a/c would need to be tested for a coolant leak before the next cooling season. When we called to schedule a leak test this spring they told us the maintenance they performed in the fall was probably not properly performed so we would have to pay to have it done again. We had a separate company take a look at the a/c unit and it took about 5 minutes for them to tell us the coolant was completely gone and we would be wasting our money doing a leak test (on a 17 year old unit). While the technician who did our fall service was very nice, I am not 100% confident our furnace was legitimately serviced as I know my a/c was not. Will definitely not go with Parent in the future.

Furnace and hot water tank replacement

We had our old oil furnace replaced by Parent Heating and Cooling about 7 years ago.
They also installed the Rinai tankless hot water heater.
The install was smooth and they did a very good job. I was impressed with the quality of their work.
They come yearly to do the maintenance of the furnace, and I have had no problems with them to this date.
