God bless the folks that make up the Chattanooga, TN One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning business! In particular the General Manager Wendy, and Technician Tony. My husband and I just moved into our new home and stopped by the Blairsville Home Depot and met with Mike in kitchen appliances. We were told about a special coupon that would save us some money on a complete check of the heating and cooling system, so we made an appointment with One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning.
We met Tony, one amazing man on a mission! We love when we come across folks that are 100% into their profession, with a high level of ethics, and on this day we found just that person named Tony. Tony stepped outside the box, as I later learned from his GM Wendy which is one of Tony's traits. This man loves what he does and takes pride in doing the best that he can do and will go to the nth degree to do it! I was very nervous about the intricate details about the heating portion of the unit and Tony told me how it works and what to look for as well as all about the maintenance program. I watched everything Tony did, and to see him in action is an amazing sight. He cleaned and re-cleaned to make sure it was impeccable. Tony is highly valued by his GM Wendy as he comes with countless accolades by all his clients.
I want to add that Tony is not only very professional with a high level of ethics, and many years of experience, but this man is so compassionate, caring and kind. There was an issue that led me to call and speak to GM Wendy, and although it wasn't Tony's fault, Wendy took it upon herself to make it right and for this action, they now have us a clients for their yearly maintenance, and will forever sing their praises.
In today's world, when you find a company that operates with this set of standards, YOU MUST SUPPORT THEM AND SHARE WITH OTHERS. We want everyone to know that General Manager Wendy, and Technician Tony are THE BEST OF THE BEST and deserve all the accolades given. Bountiful and boundless blessings of good health, safety, and may this business continue to grow, and that ALL THEY HAVE GIVEN OUT TO OTHERS COME BACK TO THEM 100%. Also, thank you to Blairsville Home Depot, Mike for sharing this amazing company!

Horrible customer service. Touts "Always On Time...Or You Don't Pay A Dime". Called after hours service for a repairman to come out on the coldest night of the year (freeze). No one called or contacted me. Called minimum of 7 additional times only to be disconnected. Called next morning and finally got someone to come out approximately 11 hours after initial call. Questioned why paying annual fee for no service in addition to service fee next day. Tried to cancel annual maintenance fee and was told I would OWE an additional balance in addition to losing already paid annual fee.
NOW they offered to come out and do the "early fall to winter" tune-up, cleaning and rejuvenating. What a waste of time and money! They keep saying I requested a service person the next day (NO) and that they did the unit check on the day they came out. Clearly stated on "SYSTEM EFFICIENCY REPORT" AC/Heat Pump and Furnace/AC Handler NOT CHECKED and I quote "Too old outside"!!! Asked for quote on new unit and was given a torn piece of paper slip from the bottom of a legal pad with a price ONLY. No information on what I would be getting.

I purchased a new Goodman outdoor heat pump from the Myrtle beach office. It has been a nightmare from the start. My house had no humidity problems before until a new unit was installed. They have come out on calls over and over and each time it has been blamed on something on "my" side... But after I pay for each fix the problem still remains. I have high humidity even when the heat is running not just the AC. Everything has been blamed from not enough returns to my thermostat. Yet after each one was supposedly fixed or replaced the humidity is still high...over 60%. They will take advantage of you and take your money. RUN away.

Every single time they have been out something new breaks. It is almost as if they intentionally sabotage everything they ever touch. If they work on the AC in the summer the heat does not work at all in the fall. If they work on the furnace in the winter the AC does not work at all come spring. They are a company entirely built on making sure they have to be there at least 4 times a year to get more upcharges out of you. Run away.

Updated on 10/22/2019: On my prior review I stated all the problems I have encountered with the company. The Supv. Came yesterday and re-checked the duct work. Well, surprise, surprise duct work done wrong. I'm still waiting for them to call me to see when the techs are returning to re do the duct system. Will continue updating.
Original Review: Deltona, Fl. This company came to my house in 2016. We called them because our old AC unit was already 25 yrs old and not working properly. The CEO at the time, convinced us to buy a new unit for $6,000.00. Gave us an interest free loan for 6 months. Since nobody else offered this deal, we took it. We didn't have any other choice, we didn't have the money to get it cash from somebody else.
Well front of house didn't have AC. We called. They said we needed the ducts changed. $2,000.00 more we'll have to pay. We were Upset because they should have told us from the beginning. Well, we couldn't do it. Now they come back and did the ducts, added new returns, added new additional vents and still same problem. Tech came in and found 2 new ducts deflated and exhaust fan too high. This company sucks. On Monday a supv. Tech Is supposed to come to re-check system. Let's see how it will go.

VP Richard Drew the Owner cheats and commits fraud here at One Hour Heating and Cooling Myrtle Beach SC location. They also made bad slurs to my Aunt and me. He overcharged and they never came out for an AC emergency as promised. We feel they are cheaters in this business and are very fake. VP owner Richard Drew is not fit or should be the VP here and takes & overcharges for services that are never performed. Carterlo.

I called this company at 7 pm as my ac was not cooling. The person that answered the phone was very uneducated. You could not understand anything he was saying. An hour later, no one had called to give an ETA so I called back. Same uneducated person answered the phone. Had no idea when tech would be at my house, (keep in mind we are in south Louisiana). He told me it would be by the end of the night but couldn't tell me what the end of the night was. I said so you are saying it could be 3 or 4 am? He responded with yes.
After 30 minutes on the phone, I finally managed to get him to understand that I needed an ETA. He put me on hold and came back and said the tech had another job before me but stated the tech had not been dispatched and still did not give me an ETA. Very poor customer service. Uneducated individuals work for this company. I do not recommend using One Hour A/C and Heat. The answering service said that 1 Hour A/C and Heat is just a name. How deceiving.

Called 1 Hour Portland Tx. and they arrived on time. Very professional tech but didn’t fix my AC that wouldn’t go below 80*. Tech tried to sell me a capacitor for my condenser unit that was working fine. $229 and admitted it might not fix the problem but I would get a 2 year warranty on it. I declined and called another company but still had to pay $129. The other company came out and found my heating element to be grounded causing my heat and a/c to be on at the same time within 5 minutes. 1Hour tech obviously was trained to sell new products and not fix what the customer asked for or didn’t know what he was doing. Obviously not enough troubleshooting experience to be on his own. Nice guy but not qualified to be on call by himself.
Called this morning and asked for my $129 back because they didn’t do their job and was told this evening when they called me back they don’t do refunds. Totally unprofessional when a homeowner has to call another company to fix/diagnose something I already paid for by 1 Hour Portland Tx. I won’t trust this company ever again and plan to tell the world when someone brings up A/C. I had planned to get all my duct work replaced by them this winter that was already quoted but that’s not happening by 1Hour Portland.

First off, he went to the wrong house and we had go get him. When he came in, it was more than obvious this was all about upselling and nothing more. Tried asking questions and although he answered, it was pure smoke blowing. 3 times he brought up the guarantee that if we weren't happy, they would come back, rip it all out and redo it. I had to question why such emphasis and came to the conclusion that if they needed a guarantee like this, obviously there was something wrong. Having an engineering degree, I'm not stupid, and did wonder why he insisted on things like widening the cold air intakes and stating a few times that it wasn't a standard install. Even asking something as important as tonnage I could barely get a straight answer.
Of course he had to knock all the local companies, stating that they would not do a good job and I couldn't help but to think back on that 3 time emphasis of guarantee. I ask for a simple rough estimate and instead of appeasing, he insisted upon setting another appointment. To me the company seems like bs, a total hard sell money grab. I had 3 estimates already which were consistent and not one of those discussed half the things One Hour did. They had been pretty straight forward and quickly answered all questions. Also, afterward, reading the One Hour reviews, I am so glad I didn't commit. One thing I will say good is that they easily confirmed that I will go with someone else.

Original company to replace my grandfather's 1991 Carrier that was 'diagnosed' to have a bad compressor. Replaced Carrier unit in July 2013 with a Goodman condenser and Goodman coil attached to Carrier air blower. Total cost $4800. Two years later (2015), up-sells my Granddad on a hard start kit for $315 due to 'noise on startup' (this was a 'maintenance' call to check the unit). TWO DAYS LATER, compressor windings burn up, costs my granddad another $800 for compressor replacement. Keep in mind grandpa is in AZ heat, desperate to keep cool. Kinda funny, huh. Unit runs for 3 years.
July 31st 2018, grandpa calls One Hour due to no cold air. (Mind you this is during mid summer in AZ heat) One Hour 'diagnoses' that the pump is bad and unit needs replacement. Cost is $5250 for JUST a GOODMAN condenser installed. He buys it, because, again, it's 114 degrees outside and he's desperate. Fast forward to 7-30-2019, air handler goes out with no fan. Granddad calls One Hour again since they send him tons of ads every month for reminders. Of course that's another $89 service call. 'Tech' says blower motor is no good and dirty, ($1000+ to repair) recommends entire replacement of air handler at the tune of $4300 dollars! Granddad calls me this time letting me know the ac went out. I almost fell off my chair when he told me the story. I told him to hold off and I drive the 200 miles to his house to inspect/fix.
I immediately find the 24V control transformer in the unit has failed ($13 part) due to the condenser contactor coil having a short ($9 part). Replace both and the 'bad' motor whirs right on. What got me irritated was the hack job that I saw in the attic from the 2013 install. Goodman coil was TAPED to the Carrier unit, UNSUPPORTED by straps, LAYING on top of the rafters. The tape had completely failed, leaking roughly 50% of the conditioned air into the attic. The original drain pan for the condensate was ripped out of the way and not connected to the drain pipes, and the drywall ceiling had a crack in it. The condensate line had NO insulation, and was dripping water onto the rafters. Luckily it was hot up there and the water never made it to the drywall.
Seeing all this crap install, I call One Hour up 7-31-2019 to ask why the install is substandard. They send a tech out to look. Tech calls the office and office states they didn't install the unit in 2013. What?? Luckily my Grandfather is very organized. I dig deeper and find all these past invoices from One Hour. 2013, 2015, 2018. My blood was boiling, and not from the AZ sun. So my granddad has spent OVER $12000 with this company. The work is NOT to code or quality. I WILL be contacting the AZ state attorney general for elder abuse and extortion if this company does not rectify the horrendous install. Pictures are provided upon request.

When I called for fireplace and heating certification, they said it's going to be between $150-$250 based on outcome. But, they charged $300 even though there were no issues and everything was good. When I called them they said that's what technician charged. So they don't have their own technicians and they are just mediators who overcharge money. Never go with them.

Please do yourself a huge favor and stay away from this Company. We thought it would be great to take advantage of their "Rejuvenation Service". The only thing that got rejuvenated was our wallet. The original service was $49.00, after they completed the service I was asked if I was interested in a new system? I agree to have their Sales Representative come to my house. Things didn't go as he expected. I didn't bite on a new system. Well I've had them back out to my house Three (3) more times for problems with my unit. June 8th 2019 I had another winner come to my house tonight, didn't introduce himself totally unprofessional. I greeted him and asked how he was doing? He replied, “Well it’s Sunday and I'm working.” He was very rude and unprofessional. Please don't fall for their sales pitch.

Called One Hour because we were worried our 3 year old system was underperforming. Ended up being told we needed $16K in new ductwork! Also said that we had white "growth" in vents due to leaks. The cheapest option to fix was $7K for a UV light. Never addressed the cooling issue except to offer to change the capacitor for $190 labor (part was under warranty). I declined and had another repair company out the next day. Was told everything was functioning perfectly, the ducts were great, and the "growth" was dust! The cooling issue was just due to excessive summer heat. I will never call One Hour again and advise all to stay away.

Total con job! Misdiagnosed. Tried to upsell me to a new A/C and told me I needed things done that were not needed with no guarantee. Couldn't tell me when parts would be in or the cost of a new A/C that requires a second appointment with another person. I declined and had a reputable company come out and they fixed it in one day and the issue was totally different than what they diagnosed and $2,000 cheaper. What a total rip off. I paid $89.95 for a misdiagnosis and to be lied to. Beware of using this company.

In 2016, my husband and I purchased a new air conditioner unit from One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (OHHAC). Ever since we purchased the air conditioner, we been having multiple issues with this unit. Every time a service tech comes out, they didn’t fix the problem concerning this unit, instead their goal was to sell additional services and products. However, the issue with the AC unit never gotten fixed. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning said the unit needed a new compressor and they charged us over $1,200 for a new compressor. However, the new compressor broke within the year.
In order to attempt to fix the air conditioner OHHAC sent four different technicians and finally a field supervisor went out and said that the new compressor that was installed one year ago, the installer put too much refrigerant into the system and that he did not understand the diagnosis the technicians made. After the field supervisor said he fixed the unit, the unit broke again within one week. Now because of all these problems with the AC unit the tenants I rent to are upset and we may lose good paying tenants because OHHAC technicians don’t have the proper training to fix our unit.
We tried to speak with upper management about our concerns and left several messages but they don’t return our calls. We have tried to cancel our Comfort Club membership and we were told we would have to pay $98 for early terminations fee. OHHAC company have been lying to us, and taking our money. When you call the after hour they want to charge to come out and there is management to fix the issues. In the future we would never do business with this company moving forward.

Got an unsolicited email for a checkup clean your AC unit before the summer. Big mistake I fell for the offer and scheduled. I felt as though I was dealing with a technical service person talking a good game, but I felt uncomfortable about his trustworthiness. He left 2 1/2 hours later with my $160 service call fee paid, offering to have the people out within an hour to replace my unit and coil for $10,000. Or I could pay $300 a pound for R-22 (Freon) needed which he said was about 4-5 pounds. Sooooooooooo, had a second opinion HVAC company come out next day, 2 1/2 pounds of Freon added, unit is perfectly fine.... $180. These guys it turns out were purchased by a less than honest well known individual in the industry.

Tech came to do with the college tuneup, I have this done every year before the summer months. I’ve used several companies here in Las Vegas in the last 15 years, and I have never received such awful customer service, follow up, pushback as I have with this One Hour air conditioning service. First about the tech told me what was wrong with my system, he never said anything about checking the Freon or putting on Freon or a charge for Freon. He just went on and on about how I need a new system.
When I realize there was nothing in the service report about the Freon I called the next morning at 7 AM. It is now 4:20 PM and I have not heard from the tech and the manager was supposed to call me. He called me once and left a message but I was in the other room and having physical therapy. I have yet to have anybody call me to make arrangements to come and charge the Freon which is usually something that is done on a tuneup. Space I would not use this company again nor would I consider them to come and install a new system as I told the tech I would make an appointment in the next month or so after I recovered from my surgery nor would I recommend this company to anybody.

I had a service plan - originally they were called Meacham HVAC. I paid $26.99 per month for their plan for 5.5 years. A couple years ago they recommended that I have new duct work installed that has a bigger filter because they have found that it saves the heating system. I paid $1,200 dollars for this...dumb on my part. Recently, I had them come into service my AC unit. It was 48 degrees out. He was done in my cellar for maybe 10 minutes then came up to ask me if I had issues cooling last summer. I told him no. My system is old. I know that.
He then proceeded to give me a quote of over $3000 to try to find the leak and put 5 lbs of gas in...that might not fix it...suggested a new one. Ok, I told him I work for a contractor. I'm not that stupid. Also, my filter was dirty. I was going to change it in a week, but asked if he had one on the truck. He said, "We don't carry that size". I was furious. I said your company installed the duct work and cabinet, I called a month ago for this appointment, don't you think you should have filters on the truck? Needless, to say I cancelled my maintenance contract with them. I asked her whey they didn't have filters...same answer. Also, I said no discount for repairs or new installs as a customer. She said I have the wrong maintenance plan for that. They are just looking to take money. Very disappointed since they became 'One Hour Service".

I called one hour as I do every year because they are a Trane authorized dealer, and was very disappointed in their service and tech. They arrived between their scheduled time 10-2 at 2 exactly and it was sprinkling. I had scheduled to have both units cleaned for their 49.00 special offered on tv and was informed by their tech he didn't have a ladder to clean split unit. I told him we'll just clean the whole house unit. I got out the hose and he informed me he would only check the unit for 49.00 and a cleaning would be $ 129.00, then he told me that if any warranty work was needed his company had a meeting this morning and decided any Trane work would be paid in full.
He said Trane doesn't want to cover any warranty work so the customer pays and if they get paid they would refund the difference. I said to him that, "What you are saying is you guys don't want to do Trane work." His reply was, "You can call another Trane dealer and see if they will service units." He then said, "Well do you want me to check the unit?" My reply was the unit is running fine and there is nothing to check. I then told him to go ahead and leave because you guys wasted my whole day. I told him I should have listened to the reviews online, because they aren't good.

I scheduled them to do their $49 a/c rejuvenation. The tech came out and kept going back and forth the outside unit. He then comes in and lists some expensive services that he said I need such as mold on the inside. Showed me a picture that I don't know where it came from, then listed other services but said I could get them discounted if I signed up for their monthly service plan. I told him at least twice that I didn't want that, I finally paid, which I'm sure was a huge overprice, for the mold service. I got their survey card in the mail later and noted my displeasure with their service visit. I highly recommend not using them.

Very dissatisfied that I had 2 brand new complete American Standard units installed in our home by One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning in 2016. Now one of the units is not cooling. My invoice states that there is a 10 year warranty for these units. It is not even made 3 years. I am being told by another A/C company that the inside txv valve is bad and the indoor coils are leaking and both need to be changed ($2,200.00)and that the units are not under warranty because One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning never registered them. Furthermore, the whole air handler would have to be pulled out and reinstalled because of the terrible installation that was done where the unit could not be properly accessed for repair and install wasn't even performed per building code.
The One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning that installed the units is no longer in business due to the franchise owner passing away and the Corporate office for One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning says it’s not for them to take care of because all franchises are independently owned. I spoke with both Deidra & Jay at corporate about this issue. This is terrible business practice because they make money on every $ of revenue the franchise makes.
If I were to buy a gift card from McDonald’s I could use it at any location. They are all independently owned franchises also. Straight from their website: “One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning locations are independently owned and operated and backed by a national company”... APPARENTLY NOT!!! Also they exclaim a UWIN Guarantee on their website, “SATISFACTION GUARANTEED” & “A GUARANTEE OF SERVICES YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK!”... APPARENTLY NOT!!!

The Company Sold the homeowner a ten year guarantee. The original air condition system is only eight years old. The homeowner is disabled. The homeowner accepted the option the technician offered which was to have a salesman (comfort advisor) enter the home with paperwork for replacement system. The company owes the homeowner the difference in the cost of the original unit which was sold to the disabled homeowner in 2011 with a ten year guarantee.
The company needs to lower the cost of the replacement unit as well. The company also needs to lower the interest rate of both the duct system which was a scare tactic applied by another technician due to comfort care visit. The company failed to honor the ten year guarantee it sold to the disabled homeowner in 2011. The discrimination this company continues to show disabled homeowners is wrong.
Ten Year Full Guarantee on Full Air Conditioning System not being honored by company. Original system purchased 5-12-11 Model #GMF80905cx serial # 1103028169 10 year, Model # CHPF486006 serial # 1102748374 10 year, Model # 55x160361 serial # 1101607292 10 year. Payment amount $9895.00. Amount still owed on system: $2,475.64. Replacement system cost $13,299.00 installed 2-23-2019. Also paying additional balance of $9,043.82 on duct work put in 4-26-2018 cost $9,427.00. Paying monthly comfort Club agreement $16.14. Company stated that the entire system was guaranteed for the full ten years.
The company needs to honor the ten year full replacement and refund us the cost of the original system we are still paying on ($2,475.64), the entire cost of the replacement system ($13,299.00) and the duct work repayment interest cost needs to be immediately reduced to 3.99% interest plus reduced in price to remove the commission paid to employee. The company uses high pressure scare tactics and provides employee incentive for commission. The comfort care program provides maintenance for the customer while providing access for employees to promote additional sales.
The company has been late to appointments scheduled by the company frequently, even with a wide range of hours for the appointment scheduling. They have been late to every single appointment this past year due to lack of communication between the scheduler and the technician providing the service call. Their customer referral system is inaccurate and unpleasant to use as the technician failed to complete the service call more than once to the person we referred.

Used their sister company Benjamin Franklin plumbing and what a mistake. Took 4 months and when they had the job half finished I fired them because they couldn't get building permit due to lack of proper licensure. Whose fault was this? According to them it was my fault course! According to the owner Chris Hodges it was MY fault for not knowing that I was supposed to get a permit!!! 4 months after waiting to have my bathroom finished I hired another Plumber who had to Jackhammer up the concrete slab that THEY poured and reconfigure all the piping that THEY installed. What a joke of a company. Initially I got an estimate for HVAC as well. They gave me an unprofessional handwritten est twice the cost of another company. I went with James River Air. Saved a ton of money and they installed a perfect system. Don't hire anyone associated with this owner: Chris Hodges! You've been warned!

I contacted American Home Sheild to have my annual Furnace tune-ups, they sent One Hour out who charged way more than anyone ever to do a simple furnace tune-up, yet what their mission really was was to sell, a hard-sell, on how much mold and bacteria was growing in my 3 systems, yet now after much research, I realize they have no idea if this is dangerous bacteria as they say it is since no testing what-so-ever is done. They claim these Oxy Quantum systems costing $1,500 per unit will solve the issues, yet when you ask for information on the system they give you the vaguest information, one sheet of zero detail, a system like that should have a book of technical specs to accompany it.
Then on top of that they sell you on duct cleaning of which I've been told I didn't need as long as I am changing my filters regularly which the guy who came out saw, he also saw that I got the best filters you can buy so again I was OVERsold for thousands of dollars. I don't usually get bamboozled like that, yet I just had another technician here who said they hadn't even put my filter door on properly and that they have a reputation of being quite a rip off company. So since this sales job took place at the end of a long day at 7:00 pm, do your homework better than I did.
I was made to feel like I was allowing us all to breathe this awful air which truly I am sure was not the case, it was simply a case of my systems being old. Because if it were the case, wouldn't they test it? Wouldn't they come out and check to make sure the system was, in fact, removing this bacteria as they said was there? Wouldn't that be included in the cost of something so incredibly expensive?

One Hour Heating and Air called me to inform me that my service plan allows me to have a free furnace cleaning. I scheduled the appt and he arrived on December 3rd, 2018. He stated that I needed a new furnace and he red tagged my furnace. He went as far as to cut off power, pull transformer in the ceiling leaving wires exposed. Stripped the connector and scheduled a call for me to buy a new furnace at $4,700.00. I called my home warranty plan and they came out but were unable to check furnace due to wires hanging and furnace in a disarray. The Warranty company denied my claim due to One Hour Heating and Air being scandalous. The technician lied and made it impossible for my warranty company to approve the claim. I currently still have NO heat. I would advise anyone not to utilize One Hour Heating and Air.

And he said I have a gas leak and he have to turn the heat off since I have a leak. I said ok. So he write up the bill how much it cost to fix it. I told him I will let my home warranty check it so I did. They came out and said I didn't have a leak and tried to turn the heat back on and it wouldn't stay on. He told me, "I don't know what the tech did but it is not working now," and it was working when he arrived. I will not ever call them again and on top of that my fan on my air conditioning kept running. I don't know what he did. I think he was just trying to get some money out of me so he broke it.

A 25 year old breaker switch went out in the fuse box. I called 1hr. A technician came out, and without even checking said my unit was over amping and that the unit needed to be replaced with a new one. All the tech did was to take off the switch and leave it off because he said it was a fire hazard, and refused to put a new one in unless I spent over $6k to replace the old unit. I called another air conditioning office and got a true reading on the amps. I was informed that there was nothing wrong except that I needed a new fuse. I fixed it myself for $14.00. I would say stay away from 1hr.

I’m usually not a complainer however I thought this must be put out there. I have One Hour AC company come out at least 2 times a year to service my AC. Well the Tech came out and finished up telling my wife that the AC evaporator coil needed to be pulled and cleaned at a price of $871.00. Well I thought that was a little crazy so got a second AC company Xperia’s Air Systems LLC to come check my AC evaporator coil came to find out that the AC needed 2lbs of refrigerant and my AC is cooling as it should. I strongly suggest that you do not use One Hour AC. They are out to get your money.

Now I'm left with a broken AC and my money GONE! They threaten to kept my money unless I pull my negative review which is illegal! I have two witnesses that heard them!

We have lived in our house for just a year and everything was going good on our A/C. My Wife and I called One Hour Heating and Air just to do preventative maintenance, we paid 189.00 for the year just to make sure that we are good each year. After they came out and said everything was fine and we should be good for 7 years and more. Not one month later they said we have a leak and our unit needs to be replaced.

We purchased a central heat and air conditioner from these crooks on February 20, 2018. It wasn't properly cooling the house, so we called them in April to come and check it over. They said the mixing box needed to be rebuilt; it would take 2 guys 2 days to rebuild, and would cost $1800. (This on top of the almost $6,000 for the 14 deer unit). They came and 2 guys spent 2 HOURS here and we paid them the $1800. We kept having the same problem. I called in another AC company to check it out. Turns out, the mixing box had NOT been rebuilt. It had just had a bad patch job done, and they had crushed ductwork; had it twisted and there was a tear where it had NOT been rebuilt. The new AC company fixed the mess, and within minutes, we had cold AC! Monday morning, I will be calling them. Stay far far away from these incompetent crooks!

DO NOT USE ONE HOUR HEATING AND AIR... THEY ARE SHADY SHYSTERS AND SCAMMERS!!! My warranty company has One Hour Heating & Air as one of their vendors. It took them 3 days to come out to my house for my AC not working. (The fan was not blowing) The guy (I should give his name, but that's just not classy) said it was the blower motor and he'd come back the next morning at 8:30 a.m. to install the new motor. (Mind you, the blower quit working in the winter also and this is the same company that came out and replaced the circuit board twice because the first one didn't make the blower work more than 24 hours. The circuit board was over $800). This current problem just so happened during a severe heatwave with heat the index reaching 110-115 degrees for 3 plus days.
The next day when he said he'd return, came and after 2 hours waiting for them to show up, I finally call them. He's decided that he'll just come out the next morning at 6 a.m. (He never called me to tell me this) I told them this was unacceptable and I needed him to come out that same day that he promised. He of course refused and told me it was my warranty company that is causing the delay and to find a different vendor! Are you kidding me! I called my warranty company and they said he told them he was trying to find the part... Really??? Where would he find the part on Monday morning before 6:00 a.m. which is when he'd be able to return?
My warranty company spoke to him and we agreed on Monday (like I had much choice at this point). Today is Monday and I've been up and ready since 5:30 a.m... At 10:00 a.m. when he still hadn't showed up, I called my warranty company asking why this place would be 4 hours late... When they called him, he said he decided he didn't want to do this repair and told them to re-assign the job to another vendor! What kind of place takes 3 days to come out then makes promises they can't keep? SHADY SHYSTERS that's what kind of company! Do yourself a favor and DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON ONE HOUR HEATING & AIR!!!

Beware of using this dishonest, disreputable company. My 86 yo mother-in-law got suckered into their ‘monthly maintenance package’ for her HVAC system. She called to have maintenance performed on her HVAC. A female technician showed up and spent four hours doing essentially nothing, other than to report that her ducts were dirty, her filters were dirty (she has electronic filters and the tech told her ‘my boss says these can’t be cleaned, they have to be replaced’ - yeah, right, these filters have been individually cleaned several times over the years) and then tried to sucker her into various repairs and cleanings totaling over $775.
On top of that, one of two things happened: 1) The tech either proceeded to intentionally sabotage her furnace unit to require another unneeded, expensive call back (by improperly replacing the furnace front covers preventing the electrical safety interlock switch from closing and allowing the AC to run) or, 2) she is a total idiot and completely incompetent. I can’t tell which - the tech did use the word ‘duck’ in place of ‘duct’ in several places on the work order (odd thing for a ‘fully trained technician’ to do), so either one is very dangerous - either a completely dirt-rotten company trying to intentionally scam an old lady or they hire incompetent fools, who because of their stupidity could very easily have your house explode. Their actions could have very well caused an 86 year old lady to have suffered heat stroke in the high 90/low 100 degree temperatures we’ve had. If you value your life and/or money, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Scheduled an appointment for 6-3-18 as it was taking quite some time for interior of house to cool. I presumed I needed freon. Mike **, the technician, checked the freon, and it was fully charged. He checked inside the furnace and found condensation on the copper coils. Said that there was NO issue. I was told that he learned in HVAC school that it takes 1-2 hours to drop one degree inside on a hot day. I've owned homes in Palm Springs, CA, and Phoenix, AZ, and it's never taken that amount of time to cool off inside. Currently, I reside in Indianapolis, IN, where there is a humidity factor, however, 1-2 hour cool off period seemed excessive to me. He mentioned my unit, a Trane, was 17 years old, and I may want to think about replacing the entire system in the future. That seemed excessive as well. I spent $89.95 for the service call only to be told there was no issue.
Mike left, and the unit ran for nearly two hours before I turned it off after not reaching the desired temperature of 76 degrees. I checked with a private source who asked if Mike had placed a thermometer at the floor vent, and the answer was no; was told that is a part of the checklist which should have been performed. I called One Hour back, and spoke with David, with whom I scheduled the initial appointment. I explained the problem with the system running and NEVER reaching temperature. He said another tech could be sent, but if there was no problem, I'd have to pay another $89.95, at which point, I said that a thorough inspection was NOT done. I was placed on hold, he checked with a supervisor, and the answer was still the same. I was advised that the manager, Corey, would call back after I requested a callback from management, but it could be the next day before I heard anything.
I disconnected, and got online to attempt to learn what the problem might be, and learned a faulty thermostat could be the issue. Before replacing the thermostat, I decided to replace the two AAA batteries. I was astonished that within 15-20 minutes, the temperature dropped one degree inside. I've been monitoring since, and with the hot humid days, it takes a maximum of 35 minutes of run time to reach desired temperature, a far cry from what Mike had told me. Seems One Hour is more interested in replacing the entire system than learning what the real problem might be. After battery replacement, I called One Hour back to speak with David, however, he wasn't available. I spoke with Belle, and asked her to pass along a message to David and Corey; after new batteries were installed, absolutely no problem with the cool off period, and I didn't require a call back from management. A complete waste of $89.95.
Why was Mike unable to tell me that old or weak batteries might be the problem? Good question, but no answer. I did send a review late last night to One Hour, and expressed my dissatisfaction, and said I should be refunded in full. Today, I received no call from the company. I did advise in my review that when the time comes, I shall not be calling them for a new system. One Hour installed this system in 2001. It seems Mike was more interested in selling/installing a new unit than getting to the root of the problem. I wouldn't recommend One Hour to anyone, and I shan't be using them for future issues. I also would advise those looking for a reputable company to look elsewhere. They are accredited by the BBB, but perhaps the BBB isn't aware of their business practices. My next email is to the BBB...

On Sat 11/11/17 One Hour was contacted by my husband as our unit underneath the crawl space was making noises. My husband was advised they would be out within 2-3 hrs. The service tech did not arrive until 5-6 hrs later. After checking the unit he advised the blower motor needed to be replaced & unfortunately if he had arrived a bit sooner he would have been able to go buy the supply house & bit up the part. With that being said, he will have to pick up same on Monday after advising the home office & a service date to install same will be scheduled. This was set up for Wed 11/15/18. My husband called me & advised he received a call advising him of same & provided One Hour with my contact # so I may be available to meet the tech.
I received a call from One Hour advising the tech would be arriving between a 4 hr time span. I work for a law firm & noted I would appreciate it if at all possible if I could receive a call when tech is within 30 min of residence & I will meet. Same tech call advising he was 30 mins away. I left to meet tech, & 1 hr 28 mins later a different tech than the 1 on 11/11/17 arrived, as we were advised orig tech had the flu. 2nd tech arrived at home with no apologies for delay in arrival. He stood on front porch very antsy, shared life's hurdles he has had to overcome [i.e. being born premature & beating the odds (?)]. His cell phone rang repeatedly with a woman's lured photo on it; clearly nonwork related. Finally, advised he would be replacing blower motor. Asked where inside breaker box was located, advised him to go around the back of our home & allowed him inside the back door where same was located.
Tech then went underneath crawl space, sounded as if the underneath of our home was being hammered and torn to pieces. Tech was back/forth to van over 20x; more out than in. Came to back door, advised he would be "wiring a bypass", came back to back door, flip breaker in main breaker panel. I hollered out back door, "I smell something burning." He came out of crawl space later stating that it was the heat strip coming on. He then came to my front door and advise I would probably need an electrician at some time to inspect the wiring of the blower motor. Tech went out to van stated due to the age of our unit we should probably get a new unit. I advised we have regular/routine maintenance performed, & do not need same.
Tech went outside to van for over 2hrs. My husband came home to find tech outside of van kneeling over engage in illicit drug behavior. Tech paid no attention to my husband's presence. Was not until my husband hollered for our son coming up the drive to walk to opposite side of van, as to not see tech's behavior that tech notice my husband. It was then tech stood upright & behaved as if nothing was going on. My husband watched tech for over 2 hrs engaged in illegal behavior, talked on cell phone with female; nothing work related, yet we were charged for "labor". Tech then came back to front door of house with a written proposal for a new 5 ton unit for $13,134.00. At which he was advised, "No thank you." Husband observed tech "beating & hammering" old bracket off of blower motor mount in an attempt to make it fit onto new blower motor. Claims he forgot to pick up same from supplier. Yet we were still being charged for new.
On Thurs 11/16/18, orig tech from 11/11/17 showed up to install blower motor & advised he was told by tech of previous day, we now need a control board as this is now not working. On Wed 11/15/17, I signed INV with my name as well as "TO BE COMPLETED", the tech later filled in the "WORK DONE SECTION" found melted disconnect in crawl, etc, etc. etc. Why is it the first tech found no such thing? BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THERE!!! THAT IS WHY!!! The 2nd tech melted everything when he attempted to wire a bypass incorrectly & blew up everything, causing a fire underneath in our crawl space. The 1st tech NEVER indicated any such problems. Our unit was still running when the tech arrived on 11/11/17, it was simply making a noise, now it does not run at ALL!!!
The orig tech came back on 11/16/17, claims he placed the blower motor in, however we are now missing a control board, as well as the breaker underneath. Our home is charged in the crawl space. It has been 6 mos, since they have destroyed our unit, multiple calls, reports on the tech & each times we've called they claim they have NEVER heard of any report from us.
As of 05/10/17, a service call/repair was finally set up wherein it was approved thru their call center to have a tech come out & repair the damage done/get the unit up & running as we went ALL WINTER with NO HEAT [temps below 0, and now the temps are above 90+ degrees]. My husband receives chemo & I am undergoing biopsies for thyroid cancer & we have 3 children. We were advised a tech would be out sometime after 4:30 PM same day. On same day, Thurs 05/10/18, my husband received a voice mail call from a restricted number, & it was the owner, Chris, Jr, who advised, "After receiving multiple calls from us due to this situation, it would appear to be in everyone's best interest if they severed all ties with us, & referred us to someone else to handle our services."
MIND YOU, they have repeatedly stated they have NEVER received any reports of complaints from us, yet the owner is referring us out due to multiple calls over 6 mos. Basically, we caused problems, broke your unit, our tech was behaving in illicit behaviour on your property, we failed to perform the work contracted, almost burned down your home, were negligent in our duties, so we are going to further overburden you as our customer and renege on our services.
Also, let's not forget, they sold us the monthly insurance for future needs, which we were paying on, & due to the fact they refused to come back & fix what they broke, we refused to make any further payments on the insurance. This was also brought to their attention, which they refused to acknowledge. They stated the insurance would not cover anything that was wrong. (???) THIS COMPANY ENGAGES IN FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOUR & SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM!!!

I purchased a Amana 6000 air conditioning unit from them 4 years ago with a 10 year parts and labor guarantee with no money out of pocket. The unit failed on April 27 and I called One Hour to come and repair it. When I called them I verified I had the guarantee and they said to just show the tech our paperwork and he'll see. The tech came out and I let him know about our written guaranty and he said we'll talk about it after he diagnosed the unit. He really didn't do anything but looking at the back of it and showing me where it was dirty and said it's leaking there.
So he picked his clipboard up and asked to go into the house to talk. When we sat at the table he told me what he had to do and said "You're really not going to like me" and then quoted me a price of 700 dollars to diagnose it and another 700 to 1000 to fix it. I asked him what about my written guaranty? He said that it's not good any longer because another owner bought the franchise from the old one with no liability. I said I never received any notices about that and in the One Hour Air Conditioning and Heating guarantee doesn't say anything if the old franchise owner should sell my warranty was null and void. I asked to speak to the owner and he said he wouldn't talk to me.
I then asked him to leave my house. Before he left he had the balls to asked me for 89 dollars for a service fee. I asked him if he was serious? He said, "Yes I am." I said, "Tell them to bill me." Before I hired another company I called the office myself. I was transferred to John the office manager who was supposed to help me with my problem because the owner is a silent one. He was very rude and just said my guarantee was not honored and said I can go to anyone I want to but they won't honor it. Really helped us.

You have no right to do so, you crooks. 8.7.18 Absolutely disgusting, I finally got a hold of that Ursula on 8.4.18 and she said, that she canceled the refund, bunch of crooks, they think, they can keep the money for work I canceled and prepaid, they are out of their mind. My credit card company contacted them and they did not respond.
8.1.18 - I wanted to cancel, when I called them they gave me the run around and I spoke with a woman she said her name is Marissa and when I called back, they said nobody with that name is working there and an Ursula was supposed to call me, which never happened either. I told them 10 times that I want to cancel and they just talked over me. So I called my credit card and disputed the prepayment, I subtracted the service fee of $89.00 and that is all they get.
I wished I would never have called them in first place. My unit is one year old and the Service Tech who came, said after they install what he suggested, he will put more Freon in my unit. MY UNIT DOES NOT HAVE A LEAK, IT IS A NEW UNIT, not from them. But anyway he said that would cost another $200. WRONG, they thought I am stupid, very very wrong. Be aware of them. I will let you know how long it takes to get my money back, when I called them today 8.2.17, they gave me the run around again and they lie a lot, I guess that is what they do best.

In June 12, 2012 they put a 2 1/2 ton Goodman unit in my home which didn't work, next day. Pulled it out and put a 3 ton Goodman unit in my home. During the month of June 2012 they had to replace a blower and control board. During the month of July had to replace a T-Stat. In August system wasn't coming on. They called it a low voltage short and said they cleaned the coil. Then in December of 2013 they had to change a defrost control and a temperature sensor. It was very cold in December. They told me because it was a warranty issue they had to order it, so I was told it was going to take over a week.
So, I called One Hour in Valparaiso, Florida and asked them if they could get the part from a store in Fort Walton Beach, Florida on Hollywood Blvd, because it was so cold. I was told a big fat no, to go and buy some portable heaters if I was that cold, and believe me it was very cold, 24 degrees outside, and it was 35-40 degrees inside my home, but because my program comfy warranty ran out they decided they didn't even know me. Today on July 7th 2017 I called them because I have a 10 year warranty and also an extended warranty for labor. Wanna guess what they said. They said, "We are not going to service your home anymore." I asked them why. They told me that they didn't have to give me a reason, but they are not going to service my home any more. They said to find someone else, because I didn't use their comfy services that they didn't have to service me anymore.
I find this company gladly accepted thousands of dollars, and I even joined their program for a year, but they didn't do anything for the whole year. I wouldn't even give this company 1 star, but it seems like I have to. The way they talk to you after they have your money is terrible. They don't care. Once they have your money it's done. They don't know how to treat a customer after they make you buy one of their AC units. Please don't make the same mistake that I did. Use TempaCure. They came out and fixed my problem that same day. The owner’s name is Bill. He did a great job, and I am using him today to come see what my AC unit is doing. Do yourself a favor. If you need a replacement AC, or just a repair, call TempaCure. The phone number is 850-678-COOL (2665).

Had One Hour out today, all it was about was to sell overpriced parts. Wanted over $450 for a turbo 200 capacitor. Looked it up online, sells for under $70. Told him not to put it on due to the price, no more work was done. Did not even check out the rest of the unit in the attic. Still charged me for a tune up and inspection. But he never finished. Do not call these people, all they are interested in is robbing you of your money. There are other companies out there that are good, this One Hour is not one of the good ones. What a joke.

When my A/C went out on a Friday evening in a 105 degree heat (southern Arizona), One Hour was here the next day and diagnosed the issue immediately. The technician was personable, knowledgeable and very professional. I was very pleased with the outcome and the price was reasonable for a weekend outside normal business hours response. I would recommend them again.

Don't deserve the one star. STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY. This is a national "business" doing the old "Aluminum Siding type sales platform". Made to separate you from you money and provide as little real value as possible. I should have done a bit more research before calling them out. I had service need for HVAC - kept us waiting all day - til 9PM that night - OK it is what it is. And when they did arrive, they did do a High Dollar patch job and Freon Refill and cleaning. From there it becomes a sales gimmick for Club Membership yearly cleaning and such - may as well buy an extended warranty at that point. I even tried to get them to provide a real estimate for a new system if they were serious contractors.
I do have an older unit and it's in need of real repairs or replacement. Three re-schedules for "Manager to come look see" to prepare an estimate, and I keep getting the run around. And they call to reschedule and it's nothing but "make a decision today", "want to be last contractor in" - blah, blah, blah, all these are set ups to separate you from as much money as they can, not reliable honest service contractors. They are in the business of SALES only. They are not what I would call legit contractors. Check with NARI for home repairs and friends that know first before you call these folks.

I had a furnace check-up back in November for a "special" discount price and they did an alright job. The technician told me about a service that if I paid $250.00 they would come out anytime and fix anything for a year including checking out my air condition unit and it would all be free. I thought it sounded good so I bought the package. I just got call today telling me they would come out a check my AC unit and it would only cost $50.00. I told them I already paid the $250.00. It seems they have no record of it. I am very disappointed and will never use them again.

From the time of arrival the age and last time furnace was serviced had begun without even seeing it. I was in the process of removing the igniter when they called back. My wife let them come out so I reinstalled igniter (2 screws) $89 service call + $173 = $262 for a $30 igniter and was still being warned about replacing a perfectly good furnace.

All they want to do is sell you Comfort Club. My roof leaked and my bathroom had a water damage because this company did not properly install, mount and seal the frame on the roof. The dry rot after they removed the panel from the bathroom clearly indicates it did not just happen overnight. During the 13 years One Hour Heating and Air was servicing my unit TWICE a year, not any of the technicians (that means in the 26 times they were up on the roof), not any of them noticed that the frame was not sitting on the flashing.
They are great with selling you products like capacitor but they do not really fulfill their promise on the Comfort Club. They will bump you off your scheduled visit to accommodate new customers, since you are already a Comfort Club member, so that means they already got your money. They will sell you the membership for a visit of twice a year, but the technicians would spend a few minutes and not do the job. Very disappointed with them. Would not recommend them at all!

About 4 years ago had them replace induced draft motor on my unit. The charge was $999. But, wait "we can knock off a couple hundred dollars if you join our maintenance program." So I did, and ended up paying almost $800, along with monthly charge for program. Today, had same issue. Called a different company and the total cost was only $475, without having to join a maintenance program.

After a power surge we contacted this company to fix our heating system which was not working properly. They "fixed it", and told us the work was under warranty. But after a few months, it was not working again and so we called them and the company charged us $89 to come out A SECOND TIME, even though they said the work was under warranty. Again they "fixed it" and after a month it was not working again and they said they would have to charge $89 again to come out, despite not been able to really fix it the first and second time. I thought they are experts and able to figure out what is wrong at least by the 2nd time! Needless to say, I called another company!

When you call One Hour you will get someone like me. You believe you are actually calling a One Hour store but you aren't... you are actually calling a call center and if you think our first concern is your AC system you are very wrong. We do not ask for your account information because we want to help you. We ask because we want to see if you have a maintenance plan... and if you do we have to try to up sell you or what we call cross-selling. If you do not want to do so we have to counter why you say no matter what it is if it is anything then a yes.
If you call me and you do not have a working A.C. and your house is hot and we do not have a time slot open for that day and if you do not have a contract with us I can guarantee you will not get a time slot no matter how hot it is. You will have to wait for another day. This is not my choice... but the choice of my supervisor... and that is the deciding factor in a emergency situation. This is all I will share for now. Thank you for reading.

ONE HOUR HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING performed a furnace tune up for me at a property I was in the process of selling - as part of my Sellers Inspection Response. The labor cost for the work was $99.00. The technician insisted upon entering on his report that the blower capacitor was below specs, despite the fact that it was functioning perfectly well. To avoid any potential issue with the property buyer, I had to agree to have it replaced and I was charged $135 for the part. The retail price for this part on Amazon is $8.95: **.
OHH&AC's part cost represents a markup over retail of over 1500%. The part took literally 20 seconds to put in located right in the front of the furnace and only two spade connectors to disconnect. A 10-year old could fit it. I accept that labor, and expertise, is something you have to pay for, but this is what I paid the additional $99 for. When I contacted them to complain, OHH&AC's response was rude and dismissive. ONE HOUR HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING gouge their customers on parts prices. Very disappointed.

July 21, 2016 Repair: “Bad Capacitor” in the air handler – replaced. Installer also inspected compressor unit outside, hooked up gauges, checked wiring and coolant pressure; removed fan from top of unit and washed out leaves with garden hose and sold me a maintenance contract. Upon entering the house I wrote two checks, one for the amount of the repair in the amount of $161.00, and another for the maintenance contract in the amount of $245.57. When the technician called the office, he put his supervisor on the speakerphone and I was told the maintenance contract was actually $50 more. I refused and was bombarded with numbers so I said take the $245.57 check and apply it to the contract. I complained to Home Warranty of America and received a check for $44.16 for overpayment on contract. Definitely proving bait and Switch on the part of One Hour Air Conditioning and Heating.
August 8, 2016 First inspection of the AC unit by One Hour Air Conditioning and Heating for Home Warranty of America for the maintenance contract. Technician hooked up gauges and checked capacitors with a clamp-on ammeter and checked coolant pressure in the compressor unit outside. No trouble found other than fan motor bearings. This is the second visit by One Hour and it was only 18 days after the initial visit.
August 21, 2016 only 18 days after the inspection and 31 days after previous visit. Two “bad capacitors, probably a voltage surge.” If the unit was inspected thoroughly on July 21, 2016 or August 8, 2016 this should have been found. The problem was not a voltage surge. It was a loosely fitting spade clip on one of the capacitors causing arcing every time the unit started up. Burned insulation at the capacitor connection of the wire and the green tarnish which would require extended exposure to develop. From the looks of it, this capacitor is not very old, still shiny. I have various sensitive electronics in my home and nothing else was damaged. A circuit breaker would have been tripped on a surge large enough to do this type of damage. I requested a full refund from Home Warranty and received it. I requested a refund from One Hour Air conditioning in Atlantic Beach and have not received one or heard from them. Do not trust this company.

I had a few other quotes and these people were the only ones that right away, saw the issues and knew what to do whereas with the others, I had to point things out. Also, One Hour looked at the recommended equipment and said that the best practice is to match the manufacturer of the heater and the tonnage. The others were pushing Lennox and I guess as they wanted to keep the price down, the recommended lower tonnage than my heater. One Hour put in the right manufacturer and size! Nice guys too. They offered all sorts of financing options. Took their time with me.

If I could give this company a negative five (-5) I would. Mick, the owner, is a no good street-thug who should be put out of business for his unconscionable and unlawful business practices. These guys have a street-gang mentality, and they will try and physically harm you if you have a disagreement with them over money and the work they do. Point being, their employees are barely qualified to do the work they are doing and they don't pay for any damages they do to your home, like any legitimate and professional company would.
And, these guys will try to physically harm you. If you refuse to pay them, on account damages were done by this company to your home, Mick will send out low-level enforcers to your home to who will try and physically rough you up to get full payment from you. One Hour Heat and Air employee Mr. Lonnie ** is one of Mick's low-level enforcers. While Mr. ** is quite inadequate in a physical confrontation, by any 'real-man' measure, Mr. ** will, regardless, attack you, as he is a total nut job. Mr. ** is not a 'smart guy' so keep that in mind, as he is unaware that what he does is illegal. By sending out Mr. ** to your door the owner Mick is essentially attempting to create, upon payment, a tacit waiver of any damage claim by the home owner. Mr. ** is a thug who comes to your home, refuses to leave when ordered to exit your property, and then physically attacks you in your home if you refuse to pay him.
Beware! These guys will come to your home usually on a Friday (Pay Day) and try and force you to pay them money at your door if you have any dispute with them over the work they've done and payment. They will never voluntarily pay for the damages they do to your home. They will call you and shout, threaten, and lie to you to try and intimidate you into paying them as well. Also, they have this burglary thing down to a pretty decent science, so make sure you have cameras rolling on these guys at all times because they will physically attack you and then claim you attacked them. And, Mr. **, after he attacks a home owner, presses criminal charges against the home owner for assault. These guys are low-life, dirt bags that should be avoided entirely.

Long story short, we purchased a Goodman 2 1/2 ton central unit with heat pump back in 2006. We later, much later, learned it was a known defective designed unit, from One Hour Heat and Air in Nashville. We had constant issues with the unit over the next 9 years. Then back in December of 2016 we spent $750 with One Hour Heat and Air and they assured us all was fixed. The next month, (Jan) we received the worst electric bill of our 21 years in our home. Our electric bill was double our highest electric bill ever. Our unit had ran all month on emergency heat mode without us knowing it. One hour Heat and Air would not return our calls and they refused to help us with our horrendous electric bill. They will take your money and lead you along, but if they make a mistake it's all on you. Buyer Beware!

I purchased a complete heating/air system from One Hour five years ago. The system is junk. Within five years most every part needs to be replaced. Not only do the service people who come to house not know what they're doing, but the parent company, One Hour, refuses to let the original contractor service our equipment. This is crazy. We purchased a $10k system from one contractor... The parent company decided we MUST use a different contractor for service, located 45 minutes away. Now we have no recourse. And the repairs that One Hour makes, like fixing a freon leak, need to be done repeatedly, like every three months. This company is NOT good. Stay away.
