    So awful. Waste of my time. Had to call second electrician due to lack of product knowledge or price gouging. So sad. Second company fixed issue same day, resolved an issue 1 hour ac stated was fine but actually caused the problem. Had to pay an extra 90 for their service call ripping people off. Don't pay them outrageous quotes. Literally shame on them. Just don't call. I would give zero stars. Fyi new home/ac.

    Absolutely DO NOT use this company! I spent over $18,000 on a new AC unit from them and it's broken less than 3 years later. Called for service and was told someone would be out today. Nobody showed up. They lied saying they attempted to call/text. They absolutely didn't. Now they're telling me sometime tomorrow. So much for "Always on Time...". Now I have to run over and buy window units so my family doesn't cook tonight in the 90 degree heat. I will be requesting reimbursement from them for the window units. Terrible company.

    They have missed 4 (FOUR!) appointments in the year since I have had my system installed. Twice in the last month. They don't show up, they don't call to tell me, then when I call to follow up they tell me they called and I agreed to cancel (last month) or they called and I didn't answer (today). Neither time did they have the right phone number. I have ONE phone number. I told them last time there are no other phone numbers and to delete any other numbers off my account, and they said they did. Apparently they didn't. I don't have much faith in a company to maintain my HVAC, let alone honor the warranty, when they can't even get the phone number right. I'd drop them in a second if I didn't have to keep them to maintain my warranty. But I will do my best to spread the word to all my friends and colleagues to take their business elsewhere.

    They installed a furnace in the fall. In mid winter my wife was getting sore throats and I was getting nose bleeds so I thought maybe the humidifier was not working. I checked it out and it wasn't, so I thought the solenoid was probably bad since they surely had checked that the humidifier was working again after they installed the furnace. I replaced the solenoid, but that didn't fix it so I called them and they sent a person. He said that the humidifier was hooked up properly and said I should replace the humidifier for $600. That didn't sound right to me so I declined.

    I got the manual out and started checking things. I found one wire from the humidifier was connected to the humidifier neutral and the other to a common. Which means the humidifier was hooked up incorrectly to the furnace and was not getting power at all. I called them and sent pictures and they said a guy would be over to correct the problem. The guy did didn't show up. After that they didn't answer my phone calls or texts. I have to get another company to fix it. Thomas

    They said I needed the ducts throughout my house cleaned, while another company said I absolutely did not need that and would not need that for another 2-3 years. When the technicians arrived I showed them the pictures and they agreed the ducts did not need cleaning. I really just wanted my dryer vent cleaned out. They agreed to the "side job" and cleaned the vent behind my dryer for $500. I didn't know that I could have paid any other company just a little more and gotten a real dryer vent cleaning (where they go up in the attic, and prove their work with pictures). I was totally ripped off. The work I paid $500 for could have been done in 20 minutes by anyone in my family, just using a broom handle and some long kitchen tongs.

    One Hour did not register the HVAC parts which would have had a 10 year warranty. Now it’s only 5 years so we are out $1200 due to their neglect. Although installation was good we view this as part of the total package that they should have completed.

    I don’t even want to give One Hour a one star rating at this point. Dealing with the office located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!! They installed a new system in our home in 2019. The furnace caught fire this week. Inside temperature was 66 degrees. I turned on the heat and bumped up the temp to 70. Less than 40 minutes later, I smelled an electrical burning smell and after checking outlets in the home for an appliance burning, I realized it was possibly the heating system and shut it down immediately. Called our heat maintenance company and they determined the heat furnace was burnt up! After One Hour installed the system, we did not review our yearly contract and found another well known local business to take care of the equipment. Learned the equipment installed by One Hour was still under warranty so called them since they installed the system.

    Two technicians came out independently to make an assessment and both came up with the same issue. I felt pressured to make a decision but decided to stay away from them in the end. Incompetent team of technicians who it seems installed the system incorrectly and rigged up the system five years ago. The heat pump was our primary source for heat with gas when the temps dip below 30 or 32. We’ve been heating with gas all this time. What??!! It was not installed correctly and was never performing as it should have. We have a new furnace this afternoon and are pleased with the work done by Art Newsome, Inc. We will NEVER recommend One Hour to anyone. I told the young lady I spoke with that I would put bad reviews out so that someone won’t be scammed the way we were.

    I was told that the fire may have started because I moved the thermostat setting from 66 to 70. You only move up in 2 degree increments. That is bull!! When the original equipment was installed, a local city inspector came to check the workmanship and it was sloppy. Instructions were left several times for the same issue. He would ask me what time One Hour was coming to the home to work. He would show up 30 minutes before that to look and after the work was completed, the inspector would check behind again. It was totally ridiculous! He could not believe the incompetence which is why we found another business to maintain the equipment.

    We had absolutely no faith that any of the service people knew what they were doing. Instead of making things right, the young lady told me it was my right to feel the way I do even after I told her I would definitely bad mouth the business. I’m not difficult to work with but this has been one horrible experience. Stay away from One Hour!!!! Even with the safety features on our furnace I don’t know if our home could have burned down, and I am very grateful it did not. Also had to pay for these assessments.

    My 1st experience was great, the guy was on time and courteous. He recommended I purchase a new thermostat so I did. Had it installed and the problem came back. When the heat came on and it was 89 on my upper level, I called and another guy came out, "fixed it" and left. A couple hours later it was back up to 89 when I set it at 75. He returned at 11 pm, said he'd done all he could and left. Still incredibly hot the next day I called another company Kron, they fixed it, simple fix that One Hour didn't see. I contacted One Hour to discuss that I'm not paying them for coming out 3x. I've called 5 times, left 5 messages and NO ONE, has called me back. I've cancelled all payments and would never recommend them to anyone. Terrible management.

    One Hour does NOT return calls, no matter what promises are made. They charged $18,500 for an 18 to 19 Seer2 Goodman system. We have just realised they installed a 15 to 16 Seer 2 system instead. We attempted to contact them multiple times with no call back. We contacted Goodman directly to confirm the system is in fact a 15 to 16 Seer. I am beyond annoyed that I trusted this company to be honest and provide proper service and instead we have to take legal action.

    I was told by the call center that I would receive a free replacement quote for my HVAC (they even have the coupon on their website.) However, after providing the quote, they asked for a $99 fee for the visit. When I refused to pay, the technician, Tom **, added the $99 charge to the replacement quote (see attached image) as an extra cost if I decide to proceed with the replacement.

Just called at 12:30 & was told service has been canceled because no one answered my phone to confirm that the tech was on his way. I have been up since 7:30 am in my living room with the phone next to me. No one called me, they lied to me. I have zero recourse & will have to call another company to do the service & I'll have to pay them.

    Eight years ago I bought a completely new HVAC system and an addition TEN years of "Comfort Care Maintenance" and tune ups. Well, that is now a big waste since over a year ago they closed their Northern California locations. They just up and left and did not even tell the customers. They sold our info to another local company who WILL NOT HONOR our tune up contracts. They did a lot of short cuts on installation but after having their repairmen out twelve times, it was running well. Buyer beware!

    I am a woman over 65 and recently scheduled several vendors to provide quotes for replacing the furnace in my ranch home. The furnace was located in a complicated attic space, making it challenging to replace. As a result, I received a wide range of quotes. One Hour was the only vendor comfortable with the job, and they offered a very competitive price for a better system. Their team completed the entire replacement promptly. Additionally, someone from their office called a month later to confirm that my system was working well and that I am satisfied with their product and service. I highly recommend this vendor for their understanding of customer needs and excellent service.

    In July of 2022 we had several people out to quote us for a new AC for our home. Ultimately, we went with One Hour and were initially satisfied with the service, the unit, and the additional service plan that we purchased. On Sunday, June 23rd, my husband noticed a drip coming from the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. Upon further inspection, he found that the copper line in the attic was leaking.

    We immediately called One Hour to come out and fix it. They came out the next day, Monday, June 24th, and their technician, Michael, said that the insulation around the copper line was old and disintegrating, and had not been replaced when we got the new unit. He fixed the part that was dripping, but by that point, much of the insulation we had blown into the attic in December of 2023 in that area was decimated and there were several cracks in the ceiling due to the water damage from the leaking line. Michael confirmed that the insulation on the line should have been replaced with the installation of the new unit. When we inquired about their process to fix the ceiling, Michael shared that his supervisor told him to tell us to claim it on our homeowner’s insurance.

    Not satisfied with this answer, we reached out multiple times to speak with a manager. After waiting Monday evening, and all-day Tuesday, we were finally able to reach a manager on Wednesday, June 26th who was available to come out on Friday, June 28th. The manager, Carl, showed up at our house an hour past the scheduled appointment time. We explained to him the situation and what Michael found, and we told him we just wanted One Hour to make our ceiling right since the problem was due to incomplete installation. We also explained that we subscribe to the company’s service plan and at least two, if not three, additional technicians have been in our attic, on schedule, to inspect and service our unit and its parts, and no one has ever brought this to our attention, leading us to believe that we have been receiving incomplete inspections.

    The manager looked at the damage to the ceiling as well as the copper line that was dripping and made notes. The manager argued that replacing the line insulation is not part of the installation of a new AC unit, but as consumers, my husband and I aren’t sure why that is the case. Additionally, we can’t figure out why no one ever brought to our attention that the insulation looks corroded and needs replacing even if it’s not part of the new install. We would have had One Hour replace it, no problem, but we didn’t know it wasn’t replaced at the time of the new unit install, and for the past almost two years, we have trusted that the technicians we have over to service the unit are checking everything and reporting back to us what needs attention. They certainly tell us when we need a new air filter.

    We heard back from Carl, the manager, today and he said they will not be providing any compensation to repair the ceiling, which since his visit with us last Friday has gotten worse and looks like it is about to fall in. We trusted this company as AC experts and not only did they fail us when it came to a complete install, but they have also failed us in terms of making the incomplete install right. This is distressing as all we wanted was for them to take accountability for their mistake and compensate us for the damages. We didn’t want to leave a negative review, we didn’t want to cancel our service plan with them, we didn’t want to take them to court, but they are forcing our hand by not righting the situation.

    We understand that mistakes happen and if One Hour had stepped up to the plate and taken care of us, we would recommend them; however, because they have denied accountability and refused to offer compensation to correct the damage, we regret doing business with them from the start and do not recommend their services.

    Knowing upfront I would be charged $89.00 for the service of installing a thermostat but not knowing how much it would cost installing a wifi thermostat which didn't take only 1/2 hour, $141.00 is not what I was expecting. Saying no I would have to search for another company not charging as much. Their customer service was trying to pressure me to get a yearly subscription in the amount of $ 249.00 to lower my cost of the installation and not get charged the $89.00 which I wasn't going to get the subscription being that I didn't need any further work in the near future other than installation of the thermostat. I feel $75.00 would be appropriate along with charging me the $89.00 service cost if you are a BBB K. I am entering a complaint.. And the complaint will be for both for no receipt emailed to me and the overpricing of the installation.

    Your website states "StraightForward Pricing® Guide. Before we start any work, we discuss your available options so you know exactly what you are getting and how much it will cost. No hidden fees!" What should of happened is representative scheduling the installation appointment told what the additional charge would be over and above the Service charge of $89.00. They told me the technician will charge me what the cost is to install a thermostat above the $89.00 service charge. I didn't know that I would be charged $141.00. Not Pleased.

    I have had service with other air conditioning companies and none have been more responsive or professional than One Hour Heating and Air. I am really and truly a legitimate customer so please know that these comments are the absolute truth, based on my experience with them. They really do a good job from start to finish. I bought their maintenance plan about 2 years ago which was reasonably priced and very necessary in Florida due to the type of weather we have. Since my initial visit with them, I have remained impressed with their service. They call you when your service is due and work with your schedule to get the job done. Their HVAC guys are all super professional, friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and I can't say enough about that!

    Last night I had an emergency AC event where my unit just abruptly stopped working. I called their emergency number because they actually have someone ON CALL! I can't even get that kind of service from my dentist's office! When John arrived at my home he diagnosed the problem in literally seconds, got to work, and was in and out so quickly I only had time to watch a tiny bit of my Netflix show! Plus the fact that he explained what the problem was and advised me about scheduling my next maintenance shows shows caring and respect. They do not GOUGE you, either, and do QUALITY work! They are truly a gift to the South Florida area! Put them to the test and see for yourself...you will say, "Oh, that lady was right! They ARE the BEST!"

    One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning -what a joke! I would give them a 0 rating! I would never recommend this company to anyone. I had an electric furnace and air conditioner installed in August of 2016. At first the company was okay to deal with but in 2020 it changed. I belonged to their Comfort Club which I paid a fee for each month. Supposedly you had preference over other customers for making appointments for service and repairs. They sent technicians to my house that weren't qualified in my opinion. The one technician asked me where the pilot light was at on my electric furnace. I even knew that there was no pilot light on an electric furnace!

    If you called for service they would give you appointments anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months out. The one technician told me they were buying up other companies and didn't have the manpower to handle the workload. In September of last year my compressor went and when I called them it took 1 week for the technician to come to my house and diagnose the issue and another week for them to come out and install the new compressor. The weather was in the 80's and my house temperature was in the 80's! Then in January this year we had temperatures in the single digits and my furnace went. When I called they said they could be there in 10 days!! I called another company and they were at my house in 3 hours. I dropped the Comfort Club after that!

    The same company that fixed my furnace came out in the beginning of May because One Hour couldn't come out until June 25 for an air conditioner tune up. The reputable company found that the compressor that was installed in October of 2023 was bad. So I made the best decision of my life and had the reputable company take out the piece of crap furnace and air conditioner and install a brand new one. When I called One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning to voice my complaints I talked to Ali for a little over 5 minutes and wanted to speak to her supervisor. I was put on hold for over 25 minutes of dead silence and hung up in frustration. I called right back and Alyssa connected me to her supervisor Mikayla in minutes. Mikayla basically called me a liar and said I wasn't on hold that long!! I was a customer and to be treated like that really made me mad. Again, this company is horrible to deal with-unqualified employees and unreliable products!!

    10 years ago I had a new HVAC system installed and was then duped into joining their monthly maintenance plan. They told me the non-member charge for cleaning is $600 annually ($300 per cleaning) so the monthly fee more than pays for it. So ok fine. Recently I got a letter informing me of a modest increase of $2 per month. I was not happy but I’m glad it happened because it prompted me to do some checking. Here’s what I found: there is NO AC COMPANY in this area that charges more than $150 for cleaning/checkup/maintenance! Not only that but I had a repair a few years ago and it was almost $500. I’m like….where is my discount? I have the monthly thing! They told me that WAS the discounted price. Looking back I should have conducted my research then but live and learn.

    One Hour and Heating and Conditioning will no longer be servicing our Air condition and Furnace Units. The integrity of this particular location of 240 Clearfield Ave, suite 306B, Virginia Beach, VA 23462, failed customer satisfaction in almost every detail. The first issue was that they canceled our Service Plan (Comfort Club) without notifying us. Our Credit Card was reissued to us in 2022 to due Fraud, and when they could not process the payment, One Hour just shut our services off. The front office said they called us twice leaving no voice message nor email. With spam calls we do not answer unless we know the name. So not leaving a message was not helpful.

    On August 30th, We had a drip leak coming from the Smoke Detector in the smaller bedroom. I went up in the attic to discover the bottom of the upstairs A/C unit had 3 inches of water in the pan. We called One hour and at this point they make an appointment for the next day. This is where I found out that our Comfort Care was no longer active and that we had missed 2 years of service.

    On Aug 31st midafternoon, ** arrives and access the damage. At this point the ceiling is damp. He states that the Upper pan of A/C unit is not draining due to a clog. He shows me and it light brown rusty sludge. He also states that the return from the A/C to the hall has some water in and recommends being repaired with a patch. He suggested this was our fault for not having the unit services. I told him I need to talk with his manager, and he replied “What for?" I asked him to step out of my house while I call the manager at one hour. After discussion with the Manager at one Hour, we decided to go ahead with the clearing of the drain and patch. We also signed back up for the Comfort Care.

    While ** was repairing the Return from the Furnace, 4-5 gallons of water dumped from the attic through ceiling dry wall to bedroom below. I told him through the ceiling what had happened and did not immediately respond. Then I go to where he is in attic, and then he came down and saw the damage. Part of the dry wall was hanging down. I pulled it down to prevent more damage to the bed. Apparently, he put in his notes that this hole was there prior to him coming over. Hence the integrity problem here. This was all done at approximately 1100pm.

    I notified One Hour Monday and they said they would send a representative to the house (**). **looked at the hole and saw the return patch that was made. **told me that he was the guy that the company use to do Dry Wall repairs and likely could complete the next day. He then proceeded to the attic and stated that the patch performed prior was not correct and also place a PVC valve on the valve of the drain line to help get more air in it.

    Everything seemed like we were going to get the situation fixed at the lowest level until someone from one hour called. After that ** demeanor changed. He then started taking questions personally. We were suppose to receive a phone call from **. Never Happened. I cancelled my appointment and called and let one hour know that we will pursue this repair and service another way. Also to cancel our Service Plan. They immediately responded with I sign a contract. The One Hour Guarantees is not what I experienced.

    Steve was thorough on the Annual Maintenance/Tune-up and I am very pleased with the results performed on my 3 year old Goodman Air Conditioner. He even cleaned off the many leaves trapped to the grill, reset my thermostat and checked my ceiling air filters which were recently replaced and they look fine.

    Original Review: July 7, 2023

    Very disappointed and now I am livid. Yesterday, technician Daryl came to do an annual tune-up of my A/C that One Hour installed new 3 years ago. This technician was by my A/C for a short time and then went to my front yard water tap for what reason I do not know. He ended up knocking on my door with part in hand and said I need a new capacitor. He said feel it, it is hot but no it was warm because we are in 3-digit temps. The part still looked brand new and I ended up taking the existing part back from him. He probably did something to the part with my water to have a different reading.

    This morning, I could not put the hose back on to water my tree which is dying, I am livid. He was not at my A/C unit very long. I know the last 2 technicians did a real tune-up for the length of time they spent and they never used my water in front. Daryl said my unit will stop working if I do not replace the capacitor and had no choice due to the 3-digit temps. With a $59.00 coupon I presented he still charged me $173.00. The part on Amazon is $27.10. In addition, he just looked up at my ceiling and said yes it looks like the filters are in properly where previously, the other technicians opened the grill to check. I was pleased with this company until now. The company was affiliated with Ben Franklin Plumbing in which I was also taken advantage of by one of their technicians. Not all technicians are bad people but there are some rotten apples in every basket.

    The person came and looked at 1 system out of 6, said it needed Freon, but it still didn't work. When I asked him to check the others, he said no time, that's not included in 1 visit which was at the end 260$. Very disappointing.

    When your a/c is broken in summer, you do what you have to do. The person came and said it needed Freon, but it still didn't work, it was blowing warm air. Come to find out the issue was the switch, so he didn't fix the switch, he disabled the heater to stop the warm air from blowing. He charged for the Freon, then pressured me into signing a one year maintenance contract for my "discount" because the Freon would be $1,000 otherwise. When I balked he said, "Well I'll have to add $300 to your price now" (at first it was $250). He didn't fix the unit, it ran nonstop, so I found another company to install a new unit.

    I knew from another review that they would not allow me to cancel the charges, although I did ask when they called to schedule the maintenance. I told them I don't need the maintenance, I have a new unit and she said she would refer me to the business office and they would call me, but they never did and the charges are still on my credit card. The repair man wasn't a good repairman, but he was a good (pushy) sales person. I think they make most of their money from the maintenance agreements. I would recommend that you get to know a local repair person and form a relationship for the future so you don't get stuck with companies like this in an emergency.

    It is my fault that we were grossly overcharged for a new heating and cooling system plus a dehumidifier and vapor barrier in the crawl space. I let myself be "smooth talked" into signing up and paying thousands more than I should have because a neighbor recommended One Hour Heating and Cooling. After many phone calls and two return visits by the installers who informed us that they were not getting paid for these extra necessary trips, we wound up with a system that seems to be working BUT we got NO manufacturer's warranty. The only "warranty" is a piece of paper from the franchise. If they go out of business we are totally stuck.

    We got a different story from every person (6 in total) we talked to in this unhappy process, and there is no way of knowing if any one of them was telling us the truth. They all tell you the bare minimum of what sounds like an answer - but the next person tells you something totally different. Live and learn: Learning can be very expensive! Get a few quotes from reputable local contractors - do not deal with these people at all.
