I had them replace my old oil fired furnace with a tankless high efficiency gas furnace. They were not the cheapest, but I thought I got the best value with a quality installation and a superior product. I now have had the unit for two years. It has cut my fuel cost by at least 30%. I like the fact that I have a tankless hot water heater and only heat hot water when I need it. They are now my serve provider and I am happy with their service. They always do their best to meet all my needs and never had any issues with them. I have a 10 year warranty on my unit (which I paid extra for) so I will not have to incur any major costs with my unit. So far, I have not had to exercise my warrantee. read more

Do not use them. They saw a single woman and tried to tell me to replace my system for 29k. Or repair for $2200.00. Then they left and I had no heat for 2 days We bought the parts for $130.00. read more

I do not recommend Air Inc. The tech said I need 3 parts and it would cost 2345.00 I bought the same 3 parts on Amazon for $200.00. I understand they have to make money too, but this was absolutely ridiculous. They saw a single older woman and tried to take advance. Extremely unhappy. read more

Last year my experience was 5 stars. This year it was horrible. The tech was condescending, rude and did not do a thorough job of the preseason check. My boiler is located in a different part of the building and he never set foot in my unit to see if any of the vents worked. Last year's preseason check was over an hour and this year's was about 30 minutes. This year's tech very much came across that since I wasn't going to buy a new boiler, he wasn't going to service my equipment properly. I called and spoke to someone who was appalled, but they wanted someone else to call me back. That person defended the actions of the tech to the highest and refused to listen to my concerns- so badly I hung up the call. I was so disappointed because last year was an amazing experience. read more

I decided to give Air a call based on positive reviews from a local Facebook group and from a neighbor that has used them. My AC wasn't working and I called at 9:00 am and someone was there by 9:30. They charge a $186 diagnostic fee just to come out. The technician came, took the lid off the unit. I had a broken capacitor. He went to his truck, got a new capacitor, installed it, put the lid back on the unit. Left before 10:00 and it cost me $568. Seems like a lot to replace a capacitor. I'm happy with the service, just found it to be very pricey. Now I know for next time. read more

Air Inc. fixed a leak in my heat pump system that my former HVAC service company (which installed the system) tried and failed to fix for 5 YEARS! The Air Inc. crew was courteous, professional, and (most importantly) got the job done -- Air Inc. FTW! read more

Do not use Air Inc. of Branford, CT. We have had nothing but problems with them since they installed our furnace and central air conditioning units. We bought our units through Home Depot so didn't have a choice on installers. When we started using the furnace, we got an error code. We called and had our annual service done and the technician told us it was the filter. The code kept coming back and the service reps kept telling us to change the filter. When it got to the point we were changing it weekly, Air Inc. finally sent someone else out. The technician informed us that the gas manifold was not properly adjusted at the time of the original installation. He fixed it and we haven't gotten another error code since. Next we noticed our central air conditioning system wasn't cooling as well as it used to. We made repeated calls to Air Inc. and their customer service staff rudely dismissed our complaints as due to the hot weather. The problem worsened till we had no air conditioning. Then they sent someone who determined it was a slow leak in the system from installation. When it was repaired, there was a leak in the repair and there wasn't enough pipe to fix the new leak. So we had to have a perfectly good coil replaced. When they replaced the coil they failed to reinstall the condensate drain line. This caused water to pour into our home since our furnace is in the middle of our living space. When we called to have it repaired, we were again dismissed by customer service. They would only send someone out to fix it after we sent them pictures to prove we had a leak. Due to this leak, there was water in our ducting system, our wall was damaged and our carpet was wet for at least a week. Air Inc. sent a ServiceMaster representative out to survey the damage. He recommended a carpet cleaning and duct cleaning. Air Inc. refused to do the duct cleaning. A different ServiceMaster company came to do the carpet cleaning. After explaining what happened they told us the carpet padding needed to be replaced because it was wet more than 72 hours and the ducts should be cleaned and sanitized because of the standing water that had been in them. Both needed to be done as per industry standards to prevent mold growth. They sent their recommendations to the original ServiceMaster inspector. After several weeks of phone calls and e-mails, Air Inc. has refused to discuss these recommendations with us. We have only gotten unsolicited responses from the original ServiceMaster inspector. He is now trying to say our carpet wasn't wet for more than 72 hours so the padding doesn't need to be replaced. He didn't even come to our home until three weeks after we had contained the leak and the carpet had dried. We had told him at the time the carpet was wet for at least four days. He is also claiming that our ducts are dirty and a cleaning would be routine maintenance. He is totally ignoring the fact that there was standing water in them so they should be cleaned to prevent mold growth regardless of how dirty they are. The first recommendation of his is based on a fabrication and the second is just discounting the facts. Making these recommendations look like he works for Air Inc. and not ServiceMaster since he is making excuses so Air Inc. would not be liable for completing the mold remediation in our home. All of these problems were easily avoidable mistakes caused by their technicians during installation and subsequent repairs. Air Inc.'s technicians caused water to leak into our home and now doesn't want to remediate the damages caused by their own incompetence. Air Inc. doesn't take ownership of the consequences of their own errors. read more

In my case they were extremely disrespectful of my time, and I had a horrible experience dealing with them. They canceled on me twice last minute, and a third time called me at 9am for an 8am appointment to tell me they would be 2hrs late. I would not attempt to do business with them again. read more

A terrible company. I am a renter, and unfortunately my landlord chose this sorry outfit to install an AC system several years ago. Despite being very new, the system failed twice last summer. To be clear, it was twice because these dolts didn't properly diagnose the issue the first time. The service guarantee Air Inc proclaims on its website ("24 hour service guarantee!") is apparently meaningless, because both times they made us wait over a weekend to come out, including 6 DAYS the second time! One of the women dispatchers was a nightmare to deal with, appallingly rude. The second woman was more courteous, but wasn't any more helpful, as she didn't bother getting anyone out to us before 6 days. Save yourself a lot of aggravation - avoid this company. read more

Awful. Do not use this company. They used the wrong parts in my air conditioner unit and destroyed it. They then said they no longer handle my territory. Customer reps are taught to talk over you. Office manager is CYA only. Clearly a lot of practice dealing with unhappy customers. I will sue them if I have time. Ask for the owner and report them always. read more

Earlier this year my wife and I were tossing around the idea of replacing our 20 year old oil boiler. We wanted to switch to gas, but were told it wasn't available in our area. Tom Clement, a salesman for Air, Inc. came to my home and not only told me I could convert to natural gas, but also walked me through the Energize CT program. His quote came in below other's I've received (even from my current service provider), and it included running and capping extra gas lines for eventual appliance upgrades. The most frustrating part of the process was getting the gas company to come out in the later winter months. Obviously this was no fault of Air, Inc., and I was impressed when Tracey, another member of the company, used her contacts to facilitate the conversion. Once the conversion was complete, Tom had his installation guys there right away, and the process was smooth. We purchased a newly designed system, so there were a few glitches with it. Air, Inc. sent out their service techs right away, at no cost to me. My only complaint is that it did take a while to be contacted by the service tech one evening, but to be fair it was in the dead of winter and he had a number of calls to handle. Other than those two minor issues, it was a pleasure using Air, Inc. Tom Clement is a no hassle salesman, explained everything to us, never pressured us, and was a consummate professional. When there was a question or slight issue, I just had to call him and he made sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend Air, Inc., and especially Tom Clement. read more

Amy B : Air Inc has been not only reliable and professional but pleasant and considerate in all our dealings. The bad reviews seem to be from several years ago. We use these folks regularly and from the attentive, careful techs to the cheerful, helpful ladies who handle scheduling, this is a company I recommend without reservation. read more

On June 8, 2011 I scheduled a service call to my home with a technician from Air Inc., located at 171 Short Beach Road, Branford, CT 06405, which is located less than one mile from my house. While the initial call was for service of one air conditioning unit, the technician strongly suggested that I have, what they call, a "precision tune-up" performed on both air conditioning units in the house since no service was done on one of the units since installation four years earlier. I was led to believe that a "precision tune-up" involved a lengthy and exhaustive examination followed by some basic testing to each of the units to ensure optimum performance. In return for this service, I would be charged $239 for each unit. I reluctantly agreed. Well, as it turned out, a "precision tune-up" consisted of washing off the air filter to each unit with a hose from my garden!! I kid you not. The only testing done was the turning on the system to feel the air flowing from the duct work. No parts were replaced, no coolant was added to either system, nothing was repaired, and nothing was cleaned except the air filters. No tools were required except a Phillips head screwdriver. And apparently, one of the condenser units was never even examined even though it was actually in need of repair (see below).. The entire time required by the technician to perform a "precision tune up" on both units was between 60 to 90 minutes, of which a great majority of the time was spent by the technician talking on his cell phone in the driveway. Unfortunately I did sign the invoice presented by the technician which I have regretted ever since. Though I was not pleased with the bill, I do not believe the technician sets company policy service rates. However, I did immediately called the owner of AIR Inc. to complain about the bill and to see if something could be done to rectify the situation. Over the next four days I left three separate messages on the owner's voicemail system after being told by the receptionist that he was away from his desk. This was followed by a registered letter sent to Mr. Wayne Krasnow on June 14, 2011, along with a copy of a complaint letter I sent to VISA Billing Complaints department (copies enclosed). Ironically, when I finally did turn on the air conditioning for the season, one of the units was not working, forcing me to place another service call from Viglione Heating and Cooling in East Haven, CT. For obvious reasons I did not call Air Inc. After three phone calls and a registered letter, it was apparent I was not going to get any satisfaction from them. The Viglione technician discovered a loose wire in the condenser unit which he found immediately upon removing the cover. Obviously the technician from AIR Inc. never removed the cover and since the air handler was blowing air through the vent, he felt there was no reason to ever check the condenser. It is worth noting that the Viglione technician only charged 1/2 of their regular service rate because the problem was so basic (see notation on invoice). My whole experience with AIR Inc. has been a complete disaster. Basically I was charged $506.68 to have two air filters washed off with a hose. Another company had to be called to do a simple repair which should have been discovered had Air Inc. even attempted to do the job as described. And then, on top of all this, three phone calls and a registered letter to the owner are completely ignored. In my opinion, this is complete fraud. I do not use that term lightly. All too often people don't complain because of the embarrassment of being ripped off, of not having enough time, or just a general feeling of being powerless. I truly hope this prevents at least one other consumer from being ripped off in the future by Air Inc. read more

If there was a zero star option I would pick that. They were terrible. I wasted 2 hours with this company and got nothing in return. Very disrespectful! I had an estimator out to my house for an AC quote. I spent nearly 2 hours showing the house and answering his questions. I was told I would get a quote in a few days. The quote took almost a month and I had to call twice and email 3 times to get it. The quote was a joke - a scanned copy of some form with a few lines filled out in handwriting. There was no detail, no explanation and left me wondering how they got to the estimate. The worst part was the estimate which was 50% higher than the next HIGHEST quote. This is a 20-25k job and they came in at 37k. Other estimates were typed with lots of detail - theirs was a joke. I was very upset I wasted my time with this company. I can't understand why the quote was so late and so out of line. Makes me suspect they were trying to take advantage of me. I feel nervous I even let these guys in my home. read more

I had the misfortune of using this company because it was recommended by Home Depot, I paid $8k for a boiler and ended up having to help the crew get the boiler in my basement and then they could not take my old one because two crew members had bad backs and when I called the owner he began to belittle me and say " I have no idea what you want from me " and then proceed to yell at me. I will never use this company again read more

This company is terrible. Came out and looked at replacing my boiler. was here 10 minutes, didn't ask any questions about the house. Promised me a quote in 4 days. After 8 days I contacted him and ask about the quote. He called me and started asking my house, how many zones etc. Said his notes were somewhere in the car. Finally quoted two systems 1) 90% higher than any bidder and the other 60% higher than any bidder. I emailed the owner with a very courteous FYI email about my experience. That was a week ago and never heard back from him. Stay Clear of this company! read more

Recently had my air conditioning system replaced by Air Inc of Branford, CT. Their entire staff beginning with office personnel, who set up preliminary job estimate visit, scheduled the actual job and assisted with utility rebate documentation was done in a professional and courteous manner. The punctual operations staff explained every aspect of the process, answered all my questions and made certain my home was in perfect condition after their workmen completed the installation. Everyone connected to the entire process was friendly, courteous and professional beyond my expectations. I will not hesitate to utilize Air Inc in the future or recommend them to my friends. read more

Air inc installed a new hybrid furnace and air conditioning system for us in October 2013. They were very professional throughout the process. Upon installation, they arrived on-time, were tidy and took care of many unexpected problems with our heating/cooling system without charges and made sure that the new unit was integrated and functioned well. Very good experience. read more

The installation of the AC system was good but service since then has been bad. During the first 1-year service visit, the technician (Mike) folded a 20x25 filter into a 20x20 space by bending it. I questioned why, he said that was the only size he had on truck. I called the company and they found it hard to believe but sent me a replacement filter. I installed my own filters after that. Recently I had a moisture problem with filter, it was drenched. The technician (Tyler) did a diagnostic 12/19/17 for $211, saying it was a very unusual problem but left no paperwork or written diagnosis. He had to ask Mark what caused it. Mark D'Onofrio called me 12/29/17 to ask for size of return duct. I could not determine it. He was supposed to reschedule a visit and build a trap or something. Never heard back. I changed the filter myself and the problem has improved in the winter months. I think the wet filter is related to the summer season but I didn't find it out from them. I would like to get a refund of that diagnostic charge. read more

We have been customers of Air Inc. for many years. Each and every employee that has been to our home has been professional in every way. They all have had manners and have been very respectful of my husband and myself and of our home. Our annual service calls have been kept pretty much on time and if there were issues they were explained to us in laymen's terms. When we replaced our old central air the techs were amazing and so neat. I would highly recommend Air Inc to anyone looking for a great company who installs and services air conditioners. Also, Kelly in the office is an amazing young lady. Thanks you Kelly and the crew for always doing a great job for us. read more

The service tech came out to my house and asked to use the bathroom. I let him and realized he took a dump in my bathroom and after being in there for over 20 mins I knocked on the door to see if he was alright! Let's just say I had to clean up behind him and he didn't wash his hands!!!!! Beware if you have any service techs coming out to your house tell them your bathroom is not open for public use! Then after the bathroom incident the company sent out another tech on a different day and he was busy texting on his phone when I went downstairs in my basement to check his work progress, surprise he didn't expect me to catch him!! Never ever again very unprofessional staff and they should perhaps have their job descriptions read to them. read more

I agree with other reviewers who have given negative reviews. We changed companies and now Dougherty oil services our air conditioning. They cancelled a service appointment same day when we took the time to call ahead when we didn't have air. They were rude and unapologetic. I can only imagine the same people work for their new fireplace company. read more

We bought a new furnace from Air Inc. in 2011. The furnace, the night of the installation, failed. A manufacturer defect part. Air Inc. refused to replace entire furnace, and only the replaced part. Mind you the furnace was less than 2 hours installed. The repair was not completed until 2 days later. And Air Inc. attempted to charge us for the repair. Since then, several other parts have failed and were replaced under warranty but with us paying an extortionate rate for Air Inc.'s labor to replace the manufacturer's faulty part. I do not recommend this company for fairness or quotes for work to be performed. read more

Great when I schedule an inspection and give me a time slot on a specific day that the tech will come. Day of inspection, I waited for three hours the tech will come. An hour pass the scheduled time range, I got a phone call from the tech. Came but did nothing. Then charge the $98 with the hidden fee of sale tax. Waste of time. Need better organization. Not everyone has three hours to wait for a potential tech. read more

It's unfortunate that so many people have written such bad reviews . I recently had air inc come out to install a gas furnace and my on demand water heater . I first decided to choose Air inc out of several companies because they not only gave me a quote on the spot , but they were very efficient in giving proper information on equipment and pricing as well the amount of time it will take to install and remove old equipment. Tom Clement the rep I personally dealt with was amazing . He answered all my questions and continued to check in to make sure I as the customer was satisfied. As for the three woman in the office Kelly, Tracy and Cheryl they were all very friendly and did their best to get dates that fit in with my schedule . very considerate of my time . The two gentlemen installing the equipment both named Mike were not only reassuring, very efficient and great work ethic !!! I would definitely recommend this company and fact have already . Thank you guys for all your hard work ! it is truly appreciated . read more

I've used AIR Inc for several years. Most recently, I had scheduled them to do annual maintenance. It was difficult to do so, because of my constantly changing schedule. Unknowingly, my service agreement lapsed in the time I scheduled the appointment to the actual appointment date. Unfortunately, we had an issue with our unit during that gap. AIR Inc was quick to respond and sent Ryan M. He came out immediately and worked a temporary patch/fix for the problem and ordered a new part. Being my service agreement had lapsed AIR Inc could have charged me full price for the service. After speaking with their customer service rep and explaining the situation, they agreed to give me the service agreement discount. Ryan M came back out a few days later and fixed and serviced our unit. He was prompt and polite. What's not to like? I have received quality and professional service from AIR Inc for years. read more

we have been working with Air for 7 years. Always professional, and the employees are very well trained in their craft. They are always polite and accommodating. They all love working for Air, which tells me that Air's management cares about the employees. We just added a new furnace and air conditioner . This is the 3rd major purchase from Air. They have been competitive and responsive. It is a pleasure working with them. We highly recommend them. Tom and Rob P read more

Jonathan Fino was very knowledgeable in assessing our needs and installation was very professional.

We are new homeowners and we were having issues with getting our hot water to be consistent. We called Air Inc for there services. When they came they stated they would have to put on a tiger loop to keep the hot water consistent. They installed the part and left. Later that night when we got home from work our whole house smelt of oil. When we looked at the part it was leaking. We called them immediately and they stated that they could make an appointment with us to come out. Obviously with a baby in the house we weren't taking that answer and they wound up coming out that night to fix it. The leak stopped however we were still having issues. We were still having issues with hot water and decided to call again to get an estimate. This time we made an appointment and they never showed up. When I sent them an email about it the girl was very nasty and pretty much called me a liar and that my husband was mistaken about the day. Instead of trying to make it right she just argued with me about who was right. Needless to say we didn't use them. We did get another quote from a company who looked at our oil burner and they stated that the oil was running very rich which would explain the soot coming out of the stack and that the tiger loop was not properly calibrated. The smoke coming out of our stack was black. Not to mention our oil reserve was depleting faster than before they installed this piece. To make it clear we had the previous owners have the oil burner inspected and serviced prior to moving in and also a few months after we moved in we hired air inc to do an inspection. I would not recommend these guys to anyone. They take advantage of people who don't necessarily know the trade. read more

We arrived at our CT beach house over Labor Day weekend, only to find that the air conditioning system had broken down. We contacted Air Inc., and they came immediately to the house.
