Quick, thorough, knowledgeable service at a time of day when the other guys would have already gone home!
This story is long, but bear with me!
FLASHBACK: About a year ago, our AC unit broke, and a different company came out to diagnose the problem. They said that there was something clogged, but there was nothing they could do about it, and so we should manually remove the water from the drain pan whenever the air conditioner stopped (which in the summer is about three or four times a day). We got used to it, but that's pretty annoying.
FAST FORWARD: Fast forward to yesterday, with our air conditioner broke and our little drain pan fix did not work. The guys from Big Chill made it to our house around 6:30 PM last night, and it was clear that they had already worked a full day and were tired. There were both polite and curt if that's possible, eager to get in and solve our problem without the small talk.
Within 30 minutes, they had it diagnosed and fixed the problem that caused our air-conditioner to kick back on. In addition to solving the immediate need of getting our airflow going, they told us that we had a refrigerant leak and would need a new coil put in that would have to be shipped from the manufacturer. Our first summer night that didn't require a 2am wake-up-and-drain-the-unit call was beautiful! I've gotten back hours of my life knowing that I don't have to drain that unit anymore because of the knowledge and willingness to actually do the job that this team has! I mean, yeah, the guys who came to our house were focused on the issue and didn't make me "feel warm and fuzzy," but I would rather work with them every day than to deal with a chatty a/c tech who doesn't fix the problem.
The cherry on top: Well, it is not even 8:30 AM the next day, and a lady from Big Chill called us to let us know that they had talked to the manufacturer already, but the coils need to be shipped,and it would be another day or two before we receive that piece. WHAT? They left our house at 7:30 PM last night, and barely 12 hours later, they have already researched the next steps of our issue and given us an update. Talk about great service.
I feel like other companies would not have felt the urgency to solve the problem that Big Chill does. It made me feel like they really care about helping us with our problem, and that they care about being excellent and efficient in meeting their customers' needs. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who needs to have the air conditioner fixed! read more
