We purchased an existing house 4 years ago which had a dual-fuel HVAC system. I contacted the…read morecompany I used for many years at our old house which I was very happy with but, they didn't seem to understand the system. I did a little research of reviews for HVAC companies in Chesapeake and found Simmons had great ratings. I found quickly why they had 5-stars! My previous HVAC contractor had been out twice and I was left with, " you need a new thermostat" and left with a cold house. That's when I found Simmons. They were very responsive and were out within 8 hours. The technician was very polite, professional and explained everything about the system (since I was unfamiliar with a dual-fuel system). He identified the problem and made the necessary repairs quickly. Having had a great experience then, I put the system under contract with them. Since then they have not let me down. They have kept my system in excellent condition. This week I suddenly had an issue with heat. Called and had a technician here within 3 hours. He got the system working but the next day I had the same issue and on one of the coldest days the system was out again. I called after hours and within 15 minutes had a call back from the on-call tech who said he would be here in 20 minutes. He was. The problem was so minute, a loose connection, but trouble shooting that was a pain for him, but he found the problem within 15 minutes. Simmons is my only HVAC system contractor. I know the age of the existing system and understand it only has a few years left in it. I feel confident that Simmons will keep it running great and when the dreaded day comes, it will be Simmons technicians installing a new system.

My heat pump needed repair so I gave them a call. They can take a look at it in 2 to 3 weeks.read more

Awesome. Awesome…read morepeople. Awesome service. Thank you to Matt and his thoroughness. This company from start to finish was 100 percent professional. We had three large ceiling fans that needed installation and removing the old (poorly rigged) fans was a project. This is where you use that phrase, there's no project to big for Matt! He expertly installed all three fans, and more importantly ensured the fans were secure and safe in the ceilings. You get what you pay for, and this was worth every penny. I will only use Nipper for my electrical needs. Well done.

They were all so friendly, knowledgeable and show up "on time". Thank you for your work. Robin Downs

A/C Specialists installed our geothermal HVAC system 14 years ago and we've had a service agreement…read moreever since. Although they've been late from time to time (days late), they've always come and performed the service required on our units. The last scheduled maintenance in May was a no-call, no-show to which I tried to call them daily to reschedule, but went into voice mail every time. I took a drive to their location only to find that they're building is abandoned, and no sign, or messaging to the customer that they were closing, nor any recommendations for another company. If they are indeed out of business, shame on you for not meeting your commitments. If you've moved, shame on you for not letting your customers know. What once was good is no longer good. I highly recommend seeking service elsewhere.

Do not use this company. Lamont Williams the owner had been hired to do electrical work for my hot…read moretub. He ended up cutting my water line to my pump and the electrical wiring to my well pump. It resulted in my having to hire a plumber and the well company to repair the resulting damage. To his credit Mr. Williams did repair the water line. However, he refused to take responsibility for the resulting damage ( mud in our water lines and our well pump not working) and the cost we incurred. We requested our deposit back minus the trench he dug. Also compensation for the cost of us having to hire a plumber and the well company to fix the mess he had made. Mr. Williams responded by sending us a bill charging us for the parts and labor for repairing the water line he cut. Also, he attempted to use the excuse he did not know we had a well. However, we live in a remote area of Suffolk. It is common knowledge that this area does not have city water or sewage. Buyer beware. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY OF YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!! If I could give him a zero star I would.
