    bend studs

    TL;DR Hired Airflows to install a high-pressure ventilation setup. Their tech walked on my non-load-bearing ceiling, cracked it, botched the install, left debris in the ceiling, never communicated internally, & management alternated between denial & blaming me. Final discovery: every duct connection on a high-pressure system was attached only w/ aluminum tape--no collars, no clamps, no screws--meaning everything could fly apart. Absolutely not a company I'd trust w/ anything involving safety, pressure, or basic workmanship. I wasn't planning to write a review, but then I climbed up to inspect the work & realized just how spectacularly bad it was. So here we are. I needed serious ventilation for a powerful shower--nothing off-the-shelf would cut it. After a lot of research, I sourced an in-line radon fan & duct silencer myself & hired Airflows to install them. I supplied the materials, they supplied "workmanship," which they told me was under warranty, but the materials were not. They were informed of all the model numbers weeks in advance & had ample time to research the specs to know how to install it. The technician who showed up was friendly, but apparently allergic to ladders. Instead of using one to reach my 15-foot ceiling, he climbed into the ceiling & walked around on flimsy, non-load-bearing metal studs like they were a dance floor. Predictably, cracks formed. I let it go at first because he was nice & I needed the ceiling patched anyway. He had to come back two weeks later because he forgot to attach the electrical cover on the radon fan, which was a fire hazard. Then things unraveled. A duct connection blew apart a week later & the vent was literally flapping in the ceiling void when the fan ran. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I asked Matthew (who quoted the job) about fixing it, & just replacing the current flex duct w/ a different kind & also mentioned the ceiling cracks--he said he'd talk to his manager. Then... silence. No returned calls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The techs arrived w/out any idea of the plan, quoted me even more than the previous quote that I declined, & told me the manager had to see the ceiling damage himself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service manager came & looked at things, minimized all the damage & told me he'd have his boss call me later that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The boss eventually called--& the conversation went from "concerned" to "accusatory" in record time. He suggested I could've made the ceiling damage myself, claimed his techs shouldn't have returned w/out charging me despite the workmanship warranty I was explicitly told I had, & said coming to look at the damage would cost me $295.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He told me at least a 12 times that they record their phone calls which they can go back & listen to, to make sure they can verify what was said. He said he reviewed the recording & that there was no guarantee on workmanship. There absolutely was, I clarified that w/ Matthew on at least two occasions. When I asked him to send me the recording, he said he would not do that[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I wonder why? I got an outside quote & informed him that it would be $300-$350 to fix the ceiling, expecting that to be the end of it. Then I went up into the ceiling myself. What I saw was astonishing. They had removed rigid ductwork but never bothered to take it out--just left everything lying up there. One reducer for the radon fan was perched on an electrical conduit fifteen feet above the ground, in a place only reachable by--yes--walking all over the ceiling again. & the real kicker: every single duct connection on this high-pressure system (capable of ~5" of positive or negative pressure) was "secured" w/ nothing but aluminum tape. No collars inserted two inches deep. No stainless steel worm clamps. No screws to lock anything together. Just tape. On a system designed to work at high pressure. Airflows had all the product specs weeks beforeh&. They had every opportunity to install it correctly. They simply... didn't. Now I can't even close my ceiling because the ducts are likely to detach as soon as the fan runs. The flex duct wasn't even supported or strapped to the floor joists like it's supposed to be--just hanging there. That was the moment I realized this review was no longer optional. If your project involves airflow, pressure, safety, or anything above ground level, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Edit: Just to respond to what the owner said. They knew ahead of time that I would be using my own parts & the quote reflected that. They also had all of the specs for each item[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. On the day of installation, the only thing the tech pointed out was that the flex duct was porous & not fully sealed. I knew this, its acoustical flex duct meant to attenuate sound. As for not notifying them about the damage to the ceiling, they are totally right. It was about 2-3 weeks before I notified them, & that's because I didn't want to get the nice tech in trouble, & $300 wasn't enough for me to make a fuss. After multiple revelations, fixing the ceiling became a matter of principle.

    All the lint that was trapped in the duct!!

I reached out to a number of different HVAC companies on Monday evening, and HVAC Buddies was the first to respond. Erik and his team (two guys) arrived at 7am the next day, and Erik quickly determined the problem and laid out my options: repair the AC, replace the AC, or replace the entire HVAC system (AC and furnace). He provided me with multiple quotes for AC-only replacement and HVAC replacement (at multiple price points). One thing that I appreciated was that Erik went out of his way not to upsell anything and made clear that it was my decision, but still answered all my questions and gave me his professional opinion. I ultimately decided to replace the entire HVAC system due to its age (around 15 years old). HVAC Buddies also offers payment plans through a third-party lender, so I was able to set up a payment plan with 0% interest for 36 months, which is always a welcome option for large expenses like this one. Erik and his team came back on Thursday morning with the new unit and worked all day to get the new HVAC system installed. By 8:30pm on Thursday, my AC was running again. All my questions about the installation (and other HVAC-related questions) were answered. Erik was very communicative throughout the entire process. I'll be using HVAC Buddies for future HVAC needs.

Way worse than the unit from 1999 we replaced. After tons of back and forth calls and texts between us and multiple achedulers, service managers, the sales guy, etc., we thought we were getting somewhere when we were told that it would be replaced, as it states they would on their website, but then we started getting the run around again. Great job at keeping your word, fellows. Class act family run business. They knocked some money off but the unit is still not working properly. Tons of service calls and still not working. Their own service guys are even telling us we should have it replaced as they don't know how to fix it. Maybe I'll change this review if Robbie himself gets a hold of me and replaces this piece of garbage, as I'm getting nowhere with the people I have spoken with about 100 times. I've also sent an email to an address I found through a google search. If i dont hear back within a day or so, My next step is filing a formal complaint with the BBB.

We hired this company to install a radiant floor heating system and asked that it be integrated with Ecobee thermostats so one thermostat could control both the radiant heat and the air conditioning. Unfortunately, they were unable to make that work. After spending considerable time trying, we ultimately agreed to a compromise of using separate thermostats for the radiant heat and the AC. Although this wasn't the solution we originally wanted, we accepted it and paid the invoice in full. Initially, Jordan gave us the impression that he was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and would stand behind the company's work. I genuinely thought we had found an HVAC company we could rely on for years to come. Because the installation was completed outside of the cooling season, we couldn't fully test the air conditioning until the weather became warm enough to use it. When we finally turned on the AC, neither unit worked properly. Jordan came out and discovered that one Ecobee thermostat had been miswired. He corrected the wiring, and that unit began working. However, he could not determine why the second unit was not working. Before leaving, he told us he would return within a day or two to continue troubleshooting. It has now been more than a week. We have called the company's call center multiple times, and every time we are told our message will be forwarded and someone will call us back. Despite our repeated attempts, we have never received a callback or been able to schedule the promised follow-up visit. We even asked to speak with a manager or another owner, but were told that information could not be provided. What disappoints me most is not that there were installation issues--those can happen on any project. It's what happened afterward. Once the final payment was made, it became nearly impossible to get anyone to respond or honor the follow-up that was promised. A warranty only has value if a company responds when customers need service. I truly wanted this company to be our long-term HVAC contractor. Instead, based on my experience, I was left with an unresolved HVAC issue, repeated unanswered service requests, and the feeling that the level of customer support changed after payment was received. I hope they improve their communication and follow-through, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend them.
