    Install or replace gas systems and pipes

    Everybody we met were friendly, informative and professional. Sales were not pushy, the inspection was genuine and thorough, the work was clean, timely and everything is working great again. The advantage program made economic sense. We are truly impressed.

    Let me down and left me with no heat

    A-1 lost a long term customer. After having had five months over the summer, and access to my home anytime that was needed to fix a thermostat to on-demand heat unit relay issue, the writer returned in early October to find the situation worst off. The problem had not been fixed and there was no heat! Checking in from time to time over the summer I was assured that the technician was working on the problem and coming up with a solution. The problem, as it turns out, must have been beyond the scope of the technician`s capabilities, but why he didn`t say so is beyond comprehension. Yes, I am out more than a few bucks, but sometimes the customer takes it in the shorts and this was one of those instances. That`s the bad news and I have moved on. Now to the good news. In trying to get someone in to address the problem, I found a company that sounded like they had more experience with Navien on-demand heating systems. Following my briefing of what I believed to be a relay problem, and undoing what had been tried over the summer, the new technician had my system working in less than 90 minutes. Impressive! I was so pleased that I had the new Plumbing and Heating service company back a few days later to do a half day of plumbing upgrading and maintenance. Again, impressive. A happy ending.

    Booking system broken

    Now the 3rd time booking with A1 Chesneys and again - no one shows up. So I have been waiting for 5 hours to get someone to respond. After 4 hours I called and they said someone would call. Now 6 hours later I called and they said someone would call me. I pay a monthly fee to them to have the service available. Its 32 degrees outside and I have had to cancel two important family events to try to get these people to respond. Once they get here in the past few years they do good work but the scheduling is a nightmare.

    Furnace Repair

    I called Chesney to check m Lennoxy furnace that was not firing up. Rob & Friday arrived Friday afternoon. Did diagnostics and had to replace the gas valve that was not opening when the control panel activated it. I asked Rob to also check our humidifier that had not worked for a long while. He replaced the solenoid valve for this device. All is now OK. Rob & Friday were courteous, thorough, and competent.

    Warranty on Furnace isnt a warranty that a consumer can count on

    Purchased a new furnace 6 years ago and was told it came with a 10 year warranty. However the reality as I discovered today is that warranty is only valid if you subscribe to a monthly payment plan over and above the cost of the furnace. This was never explained to me, nor have I ever had to pay forever over and on top on the warranty that came with the purchase. And add to that the monthly cost is over $100 per month. So the cost of the furnace was $5000 and in order to get the actual warranty of 10 years it costs another $1200 per year which equals to $12000 over 10 years. So now the furnace cost becomes 3 times as expensive. Shocked and angry over this deplorable business practise.

    AC Installation

    Had an AC installed on Easter Monday. Told them we had to be gone early afternoon. Not only did they accommodate, they had to troubleshoot the existing thermostat. Work was great, completely sealed the housing exterior where the piping went in and cleaned up after themselves. Would recommend. Thanks Ved and Kelly!

    Furnace replacement

    My 20 year old furnace required replacement and I got two quotes. They were very similar, but I went with A1 Chesney, and was very happy with the result. The technician took it upon himself to look around my basement and came up came up with a much better way to vent the furnace. The furnace inspector just left and complimented the work that was done.

    Thank you for being a valued customer and sharing your positive experience!

    Replace existing furnace and install new air conditioning

    Ryley and his co-worker as well as the electrician arrived on schedule and performed their work in a well coordinated and efficient manner. Very customer orientated and professional work ethic and always willing to listen to the clients concerns and input. Even though there were some very difficult challenges in completing some of the work they persevered and the end product turned out better than I could have expected. Equipment is excellent quality and appears to meet and exceed expectations. Would highly recommend this company and product.

    Answer from pro:

    We appreciate your business and look forward to our continued relationship!

    A1Chesney

    Cost estimator was knowledgeable and helpful. Filled out all forms and agreed on price and timing of job. A few days before job was supposed to start I was told they had someone leave the company so had to delay the work until someone else was hired. Didnt hear anything for over a month so had to ask the status. Was informed they could no longer complete the furnace/ac installation. Very disappointed in this service as they obviously are not reliable and wasted my time, even as a designated Costco contractor. Would not recommend them despite other good reviews.
