I selected them from several quotes to install a completely new HVAC system 3 years ago, not based on price but because of the time they took to analyze our needs, listen to our concerns, and price a system that fit our house, our budget, and our installation space.

I've recommended Shavitz to friends, and will continue to do so.

The long relationship company came out, did regular maintenance and said I needed a new thermostat at $1,600. (My system is complex and all, but $1,600? Seriously?)

I guess I have a new HVAC guy. Very professional. And he explained the whole process and diagnosis. Good guys.

The AC stoped working last night so I called King this morning as we're going on day 4 of 90+ temps. The person I spoke to from King was rude as they continued to interrupt me and it felt like they were trying to get me off the phone. They also said that service in the past doesn't ensure service in the future and that they wouldn't be able to guarantee anyone could come look at the system for at least another 3 days and even then we would be charged the "emergency" rate. Fast service is one of their main claims on their website, as well as reliability. King installed this unit less than a year ago and it's already not working. So that's not what I would call reliable. I ended up not going King and called another HVAC company. They had someone out here in 2 hours and didn't charge an "emergency" fee.

James: your tech came and all he did (besides his constant: "call my office for a new unit") was spraying (my) water on my 2.5T Trane... THIS IS NOT "MAINTENANCE"... To say: "your system is on borrowed time to say the least and extremely inefficient the older it gets." is immature. the unit works FINE, is very efficient, as I write it. I am a seasoned Senior Design Engineer (has one USA patent granted) and know "something" about "something". I design things for all to use them and for some to service them. 2.5T for a small house like mine is possibly an overkill but that explains its lasting. 40 years of working AC unit is unheard of, correct, but it is ME who decides about replacement or maintenance, and your tech (still working there?) did NOT do the maintenance I've paid for. So, he did no technical work and you owe me that 99(?) bucks :-)

This company does poor quality work, the owner is a rude, narcissistic, and condescending prick…read more He also admitted to committing FRAUD on my phone call with him My AC unit was installed by Metro 7ish yrs ago (before I bought the place), the compressor died this week, so I had a couple companies come look at it, including Metro. The service guy was nice and answered my questions and then he came back about an hour later with a quote. He said you're in luck the compressor is under warranty, but we need to charge you $2500-$2800 for installation. I asked what installation entailed and he told me about 3.5-4 hours of work and I said ok that seems like a lot and he says it's "for our expertise" The unit is supposed to last roughly 15 years per the service tech so it made it less than half, which is obviously frustrating for me I call the owner and say that labor rate seems high, he basically starts yelling at me right away and telling me I don't know anything, etc... I said, "look I'm just trying to have a discussion here. Your tech said the total cost is based on labor (which I assume is marked up to cover overhead), he says "you're an idiot you don't know what you're talking about, it's expensive to run a business etc.... If you don't like it go elsewhere, you don't know anything about quality work" Mind you this is after they installed an AC unit at my condo that failed at less than half the life they expected. I said, "look you guys have this under warranty so I don't want to go elsewhere, but I want to end up at a reasonable labor number" This is where he admits to fraud "it's not under warranty, I just know how to fudge the numbers to the manufacturer to make it look like it's under warranty, if you don't like the price then go elsewhere" He clearly is trying to jack up his price because he knows he has the leverage and I can't get it for less due to the warranty fraud, but whatever at that point I just say "fine can you guys do it at the quoted amount" and he goes off and tells me "no, you're not worthy of our services. We're not doing any business with fucking idiots like you" At this point I'm obviously pissed off and I'm sure I said some not nice things and he hangs up on me. I call back after cooling off because at this point I just want my AC to work. I say look things got heated, I haven't had AC for 4 days, can you guys please come and fix the unit at the quoted price and then he lies and says they don't have anyone available. Do not do business with this company. They deserve to go under. They do shoddy work, abuse leverage in negotiations with their customers, they're rude, arrogant, condescending, and commit fraud. And as I've already said, they aren't even good at what they do based purely off the results of said work that I experienced I ended up paying more to just put in a new AC with a different company because by the end of it, I had lost all confidence in their previous work and wanted to make sure that my AC would work for years to come If I was a supplier/OEM that deals with Metro I would have them investigated for fraud. I will be reaching out to the OEMs and reporting the fraud to their Executive Teams.

The initial installation needed major rebuilding and corrections. Given the scope of the rebuild, I missed that the condenser unit was not placed properly in the wall, it is causing ongoing issues. Initially there were metal fragments on top of the condenser that went to the outside. Glad that I had a ladder to get on top of it and clean it off, before the metal fragments became airborne. The "free" vent cleaning caused dust to blow all over my condo unit. Not good when you have lung disease. I ended up cleaning dust that had been trapped in the vents. The tech didn't bring a shop vacuum to take care of. the job. They used a machine that flapped a rag around in my vents. I was concerned that the vents would be torn up. The motor itself is very loud and I still haven't gotten used to it. The contactor slams in and start up is a continual disturbance. Noted too that there are no insulators around the main electrical breaker. Decided to pass on the "free warranty." The associated service calls required to maintain the warranty were not "free." Very disappointed how the project turned out. It was stressful, expensive and subpar.

While inspecting the excessive noise from the furnace they installed, their technician discovered…read morethat their installers had left a melted screwdriver (see attached photo) inside the unit during the original installation. The tech that came out to fix my furnace - again because it was making a loud noise - simply put a long green metal pole jammed up against the chimney to dampen the noise(see attached photo). That was his solution ha. Then they paired the new AC with an undersized return, so it can't move enough air. The evaporator freezes with any normal air filter, and the only way to keep it running is by using the cheapest, least restrictive filter possible thus compromising air quality. And then in that same newly installed AC system the foil-faced insulation inside the air handler came unglued and detached, falling against the evaporator coil and restricting airflow. Absolute F tier quality work. Surprised they're still in business. They're impossible to get ahold of; techs that do show up are overworked and don't give a crap. All of these problems still exist to this day and everything is still under warranty but tired of them coming to my house and half fixing the problem only to call them again and again. All in this cost me about $12,000. Avoid at all costs. Good luck.
