    Hendel's hooking up capacitor incorrectly.
    Jason W.

    TL;DR - Hendel's hooked my capacitor up wrong and fried my fan motor. I showed picture proof of how the first tech wired it up wrong. They claim that I messed w the wiring and hooked it up wrong myself after the first tech left (?!). The tech hooked it up wrong to drum up business or by mistake, either way, total fail not making it right. On Aug 27, Hendel's came out to help clear my garage air handler pan so it didn't leak. I had no issues with the actual AC functionality in any way. The tech removed debris from the drain pan, and charged a level II cleaning service. Great. The tech did look over my outside heat pump and tested my capacitor. I declined any work on it and he put the capacitor connectors back together. Shortly after he leaves I'm not getting cold air and I see the heat pump fan is off. Turning the AC off and on sometimes spins it up, but it usually doesn't run for more than an hour. It seems like a pretty insane coincidence that something would die immediately after the tech is messing with the units wiring. I take a picture of how the Hendel's tech hooked the old dusty capacitor back up. Fan/brown, HERM/Yellow, Common/Blue. After my AC had failed, I put another capacitor in and hook it up in the same way their tech had left it, using the pictures as reference. No change and the AC motor will still not stay on. On Aug 31st, another Hendel's tech comes out to look at the unit as I was still without AC. He notes the fan motor is shorted. He looks at the schematics and notes that the HERM and Common lines on the capacitor are hooked up in REVERSE. The first tech that came out on August 27th hooked up the capacitor WRONG. This fried the motor and caused the unit to fail after he left. If their techs took any picture of their work on the first visit, this would certainly show that it was hooked up in reverse. Hendel's has messages from me reporting the unit failing after their first tech worked on it, the pictures showing it hooked up incorrectly, AND their second tech seeing the capacitor hooked up incorrectly. I have requested any documentation or pictures Hendel's has that back up their claim that the capacitor was hooked up correctly, but they do not take pictures of their work and refuse to provide me any reason for why the unit was left hooked up wrong on the first visit. Again they didn't take pictures of the unit after they hooked it up correctly on the 2nd visit, so I also attached one that I took of it done correctly. You can see that the Common and HERM connections are reversed from the way their first tech installed it. The correct way - Fan/brown, HERM/Blue, Common/Yellow. I understand mistakes happen, and the 2nd tech to come out was stand up. The system is working great after proper wiring and a new $$$ fan motor. All they can do is a 15% discount on the $950 fan motor..tl That's a fan motor that should have never been needed. Hooking the capacitor up wrong gave the wrong voltage and phase shift to BOTH my fan motor and compressor. This mistake could have severely limited the life of my compressor also. They refuse to send me any documentation or pictures showing the first visit work was done correctly. If you decide to take a risk with this company, TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS OF ANY WORK THEY DO FOR YOU! Can't believe they don't do this themselves. If my compressor dies in the near future, I'll know why.

    The tech did a good job. However, there are some things you should know before you do business with Hendel's. First, Hendel's now adds a 3% surcharge if you pay by credit card. Fortunately, we had $1,000 dollars in the bank and could write a check. The second thing you should know is that replacing a fan motor and adding 1 pound of refrigerant will cost you close to a $1,000. Here is a break-down of Hendel's invoice: - Trip and Diagnostic Charge - $129 - Condenser fan motor - $609.54 - Service Labor - $100 - Refrigerant R- 410 - $79.89 For at total of $918.41 The replacement motor was not OEM. It was a Century 1/3 to 1/8 HP Condenser Fan Motor, 825 RPM. It is available on the internet for $161.

    Our old 2001 Carrier unit.

    Jim the salesperson was very kind and knowledgeable. I met him in the showroom on Tuesday morning and we talked about our options. He followed me home and did a thorough inspection/calculation and came up with a plan to redo some ductwork and dialed in our equipment choices. He even delivered a temporary AC unit for us to use for 2 days while we waited for our install date. Abraham and Javier showed up Thursday at 8am and immediately gutted our old unit and within 8 hours they were done. A separate team came curbside and hauled away the trash and old equipment. Both young men were very kind and knowledgeable about the product they installed. Explained what they were doing and why. By this time the house was 95 degrees inside. Yuck!!! Finally they set the temp, went over the thermostat functions and swept the floors. Even swept and picked up the little bits of trash outside. They even found a few sheet metal screws in the street from the old equipment that the scrap crew left. They were quick to pick it all up and discard. Now it's been 3 hours since they left. My home is 87 and dropping. Our American Standard Silver 16 unit is soooooo quiet. 71 decibels right at the fan. Time will tell if it lasts as long as my 18 year old Carrier. But based on my recent experience, I recommend them.

    We recently had another HVAC company come out because our AC stopped working. After running their…read morediagnostics, they told us we needed to replace our entire system--including the air handler, condenser, and even add another air return. To make matters worse, they said they couldn't turn the system back on and that we might have to wait until Monday for a full system replacement. This all happened on the Wednesday before the Fourth of July, with temperatures well into the triple digits. We have five kids and two dogs, and the thought of going several days without air conditioning was overwhelming. Thankfully, we decided to get a second opinion and called Airtime Cooling & Heating. Jacob came out, started his own evaluation without us telling him what the first company had diagnosed, and quickly impressed us. He simply turned the system back on, ran his own diagnostics, and gave us his honest opinion. His conclusion was completely different--our system did not need to be replaced. Not only did he get our AC running again, but he also took the time to explain what he believed had happened, what to watch for if it occurred again, and even walked us through how to troubleshoot it ourselves. That kind of honesty, education, and customer service is incredibly rare. Instead of facing what could have been a very expensive and unnecessary replacement, we paid for a diagnostic visit, got our AC back, and gained confidence in our system. Because of this experience, we've switched from our previous HVAC company to Airtime Cooling & Heating for all of our future maintenance and service. If Jacob is any indication of the quality of their technicians, they have earned a customer for life. Jacob was truly a 10 out of 10. He saved us from an unnecessary replacement, restored our AC when we needed it most, and treated us with honesty and respect. I can't recommend Airtime Cooling & Heating highly enough.

    REEVALUATION PENDING…read more The technician from AirTime was professional and courteous at all times. The work performed meet all my expectations. An add on service I requested upon his arrival was also done at a fair price and with quality workmanship. Although I was given some bad news about my AC unit it wasn't unexpected and at absolutely no time did I feel like I was being taken advantage of. My experience strongly suggests that AirTime's high customer service reviews are well deserved. If you need an HVAC service I would highly recommend AirTime.

From the very beginning, their team went above and beyond to ensure we were getting the best system for our home. We had received estimates from other companies that recommended a variable-speed system, but Mark, our estimator, took the time to explain why that wouldn't actually be the best fit for our home. He walked us through how our current return air setup would limit the benefits of a variable-speed system unless we invested in additional modifications to improve airflow. Instead of trying to sell us the most expensive option, he focused on what would truly work best for our home. He answered every question we had and made sure we fully understood our options. Zack and Alonzo, our installers, were equally impressive. They were professional, communicative, and treated our home with care throughout the installation. The entire process was smooth, and it's clear that customer service and quality workmanship are priorities for Larson Air Conditioning. We highly recommend Larson Air Conditioning to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and professional HVAC company.

It's refreshing to work with a company that truly values honesty, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC repair, maintenance or new installation. I'll definitely be using them again for any future heating and cooling needs!

From the very beginning, he was honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping our family find the best solution rather than simply making a sale. Not only was he able to secure us an excellent discounted price on our new air conditioning system, but he also arranged for our installation to be completed on Monday. Knowing we would be facing an Arizona weekend without air conditioning, he went above and beyond by loaning us two portable AC units to keep us comfortable until the new system is installed. That level of customer service is rare these days. Brian's kindness, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. We are truly grateful for everything he did and highly recommend asking for Brian if you're in the market for a new AC system. Thank you for taking such great care of us!
