Their expertise, patience and positive attitude made a real difference. They took the time to explain issues found with my a/c unit and carefully explained options for repair or replacement of the unit.

Note: I've posted this same review on Google Reviews…read more American Energy was one of three companies who priced my project. I met with the owner Mathew McGuire, who I found to be friendly, sincere, and someone who is vested in his business, his people, and working to ensure that he wins life-long customers with every job. I had done a lot of research with AI, so I knew my options well (that research was very helpful and I'd highly recommend doing it in advance of having people out to give you pricing). I had no intention of beating up each of the companies, I simply asked for their best pricing and options. I used AI to carefully review each bid in detail, including the proposed equipment and how appropriate it was for our home. All companies gave solid bids, but there was a very large spread between the highest and lowest. That usually concerns me, but all my research about American Energy indicated that they were a solid, competitive company. It was a big investment, but I ended up converting to an electric heat pump and also getting all our ducting replaced. We have a 2750 sf single-story home with 17 vents, so the new ducting was nearly as much as the system itself. That said, the ducting has made so much difference in terms of balancing the temperature throughout the house, which was a real probelm with the old system. The new system is extremely quiet and maintains a consistent temp throughout the day--and we've had some extremely hot days since it's been installed. American Energy's installers were all very friendly and professional, and did a great jobs with prep and clean-up each day they were here (the initial install took two days). There were a couple minor issues after the install was complete which required two follow-up appointments. One was a equipment issue that required Carrier to provide a replacement part, but Carrier was responsive and quickly provided it. For the additional follow-up appointments, their scheduling person as professional, courteous, and accommodating. In fact, she went out of her way over a weekend to re-schedule an appointment that was supposed to happen on a Monday morning. To me the company has to be a good one to A.) get that kind of diligence out of employees, and B.) to keep those kind of employees. In the end, I'm extremely happy with the system and will gladly subscribe for their annual maintenance contract.

From start to finish, Garrett and his team was professional, fairly priced, and clearly cared about the quality of their work. What stood out most was their commitment to making sure everything was done right. Garrett even had this cool tool that analyzed what size unit we would need based on the size of the house, orientation of the sun, ups and downs in the weather during the day, and the temperature we like to keep our home set at. I've never seen anything like it. Any time we had questions or concerns, they were responsive, patient, and willing to help. Even when there was a small project miscommunication along the way, they completely stood by their work and made sure everything was corrected and handled properly without hesitation. That level of customer service and integrity is hard to find these days. The quality of the installation and follow-up support exceeded our expectations. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work. If we could give them 10 stars, we absolutely would. We'll definitely be recommending them to friends, family, and anyone else looking for HVAC work!

He wasted no time jumping in and trying to diagnose the problem. He went through everything he could think of, figured it out, and advised us of best solutions. We never felt pressured or unsure of the decisions we were making. He also pointed out things to keep an eye on, as they appeared to be going bad or outdated, but again, never once did he push for us to buy or do anything now. He was also honest with us about replacing the unit altogether (yes, you're thinking he wants us to spend the money and they make it), but the unit is 32 years old with a life expectancy of 20, soo he's not wrong. Beyond suggesting a new unit he priced out different components that we could replace, as we wanted to, in order to squeeze as much life out as we could. We were already considering replacing, so he helped us set up a no obligation consultation later this week. And honestly, if not for the service and respect we've been shown, we'd consider shopping around more, but this family owned company has earned our business and trust for years to come! If you need service or repairs, do not hesitate to reach out and use Good Guys, because they truly are: Good Guys!

I travel 100 miles to drop off my sewing machines due to so many people telling me to go there. We'll I drop off machine and took home a new quilting machine and a new sewing machine. I would travel 1000 miles for this shop. Alex spent so much time with Dad and I, he and his Dad are the best in this industry. Knowledge and pricing are important to me but customer service is number 1. I had the worst experience at a well known retailer for sewing machines. I will never go there again and will always tell everyone of my horrible experience there. They will tell 10 friends and they will tell 10 friends. I will also tell everyone my experience at this shop with Alex and his Dad.

What a pleasure it was doing business with Alex-- we took an old model Electrolux vacuum cleaner in because the on/off switch did not work. We were told it would be difficult to get a switch for that older model but he would work on the switch to see if he could not get it to work. Alex fixed the switch but could not guarantee the work so he did not charge us anything for his service. It is just refreshing to do business with people like Alex in this day and age. I highly recommend this store for any sewing or vacuum cleaner repair need. They are good people to do business with. Joe and Sharon S. read more

Alex and his parents were AMAZING! My 1966 Singer sewing machine quit in the middle of making a baby quilt for a great niece on the way soon. I went to another sewing machine repair and they said it would be at least 3 weeks, require a deposit and would cost $200-$300. I said no thank you and went to Auburn Sew and Vac. They fixed my machine and it runs like it is brand new. They also replaced a light bulb I had not been able to find in years. And it was only $70!!!! I cannot recommend this place more highly.
