"The appointment process was fine. Plumber was punctual. The price was not justified nor explained other than "we can't do 15 minutes of work for $200". The cost of the job to replace the fixture and put a shutoff valve was quoted at $521.00. This is $50 in materials and an hour or less of work. There was no issue with access to the inside or outside. The inside access is typical and in the unfinished part of the basement. I turned down the quote and have called to talk to the company management to understand how this could be this costly and have not received a call back. It seems that pricing is based on what they think you will pay based on where you live or other reasons and not the typical markup and labor model. Be aware and warned. The impact on me was changing my whole day around and the wasted time. Not to mention asking other plumber to not respond due to APEX being the first."

"I am writing to express dissatisfaction with our $27,000 furnace and A/C replacement from Logan Services. Our sales rep, Cameron Young, misled us with a "Bait and Switch" tactic. He promoted a free accessory with the furnace purchase, offering options like a Whole House Humidifier, which we discussed specifically for our downstairs unit. After installation, we found that the humidifier was missing and instead received an April Aire Merv-11 filter, which was never mentioned. When we contacted Cameron, he claimed we misunderstood and refused to resolve the issue without extra charges. Customer service was unaware of the filter and kept confusing it with the humidifier. Despite escalating the issue to management, they sided with Cameron and refused to honor the promotion. Logan Services’ failure to resolve the issue and their unprofessional handling have led us to decide we will not do business with them again."

If you are familiar with any of our advertising you know that these words are at the end of each and every one of our ads. But these eight words are more than just a slogan at CARE Heating and Cooling. They are our motto and the basis of our business philosophy, and the way we want to be remembered by you at the end of the day. From the beginning I wanted CARE be a different kind of company. After spending many years working for other heating and cooling companies, I became alarmed by the trends I was seeing in the residential heating and cooling industry. “Increase sales”, “raise your prices” and “make every employee a sales person” became the operating statements of many companies, leading to the biggest fraud of all: paying service technicians to sell replacement furnaces and air conditioners. In the 1980s a major manufacturer began to promote to its dealers a unique sales technique – have service technicians sell replacements. The rationale was that a service technician had the inherent trust of the consumer. If a repair was needed a service technician had ability to take advantage of that trust and offer to install a replacement system. This provided an immediate solution to an immediate problem that would lock out any competition, result in a much higher than normal selling price and much higher profits. Because companies make more money, a lot more in fact, selling you a new system rather than fixing the one you own this approach was widely adopted over the next couple of decades. To generate even more sales and profits many companies today apply a lot of pressure to service technicians to sell even more. Several local companies’ guidelines state specifically that a consumer is to be advised to replace their furnace if a repair, even a minor one, is needed whenever a furnace or air conditioner is over 10 years old. They set goals for their service technicians to turn at least 1 in 10 service calls into sales leads and pay them a commission when a unit is sold. Service technicians can also get caught up in the quest for more money, with some diagnosing problems that may not actually exist just to earn a commission. This is how “cat toys in furnaces” and “chipmunks with attitudes and power drills” became major problems. So what makes CARE Heating and Cooling different? It is my philosophy that we are in business not only to get new customers, but more importantly to keep them. Never will anyone in the service department profit by recommending to a consumer to replace their furnace or air conditioner. Not only do we offer free second opinions for a diagnosis of a bad compressor or heat exchanger, we will often second opinion ourselves when condemning equipment to be sure we have not made a mistake. If a mistake is made, it will be an honest one and we will stand behind everything we do. Lastly, you can trust us to offer you the lowest possible price on all services and installations we do. We are, and always will be, the best value in town. Thank you for considering CARE Heating and Cooling. Let us prove to you why you should call us “When you need a company you can trust.” Call CARE for the best possible service in central Ohio.

"Based on advertised claims, called them to fix an AC cycling problem. Tech told me that furnace was "old" and I should replace it, and then gave me a quote on replacing the furnace motor. Neither of these issues was the problem and this type of advice was exactly what I was trying to avoid. (I own seven properties and need someone who can actually "fix" an issue, not try to upcharge me). I called them several times to protest their charge of a housecall fee and one hour labor, since they did nothing to identify or fix the problem. Told them I didn't think I should pay the excessive charge but they already had my credit card number and wouldn't cancel or adjust the charge until I was called by someone. Was told some guy named Alex would call me about it, but he never calls, even though I have called their office at least 5 times to resolve the issue. Don't use these guys, there are much better providers around."

"This is a follow up to my new heat pump installation in 12/2022. Everything is working great. The variable stage heat pump costs more, but it is much better than my old, basic single stage. The air handler was in my office closet, so I spent the day working from home with them working in the same room. Funny and honest techs...I actually enjoyed seeing the entire install while doing my own work. I highly recommend them!"

"We had a great experience with Franklin Heating/Cooling and their employee Tony when they came to fix our AC. From start to finish, Tony was professional, efficient, and incredibly honest.

They took the time to thoroughly assess the issue, explain what needed fixing, and offered a clear, fair solution. We really appreciated his transparency and how he genuinely prioritized our best interest over making a quick sale. It's rare to find companies that are this trustworthy, and I will definitely be using them for any future HVAC needs. Highly recommend!"

Most ductwork lasts between 15 and 25 years. Sheet metal ducts can last even longer—up to 30 to 50 years. The lifespan of your ductwork depends on factors like the quality of the materials, how well it's maintained, and the environment it's in. As ducts get older, you might notice deterioration and decreased performance. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can help your ducts last longer and keep your HVAC system running efficiently.
If you're looking for options that don't require ductwork, consider ductless mini-split systems. These systems are becoming increasingly popular because they require minimal installation. With multiple indoor air handlers and at least one outdoor compressor unit, mini-splits use heat pump technology to heat or cool your home through refrigerant lines. While mini-splits cost more upfront than traditional systems, they offer superior efficiency, zoning flexibility, and other advantages that can save you money in the long run.
Undersized ductwork restricts airflow, leading to uneven temperature distribution, strain on HVAC equipment, and other problems. Oversized ductwork similarly hurts HVAC efficiency and causes poor temperature distribution or consistency. In either case, improper ductwork sizing results in increased maintenance needs, more frequent repairs, higher operating costs, and a reduced lifespan for HVAC equipment.
You can replace only a portion of your ductwork when certain sections show issues while other areas remain sound. Targeted replacement is a cost-effective solution that focuses on problematic duct sections only. By addressing only the damaged segments, homeowners lower material and labor costs while still enhancing airflow. Partial replacements maintain system balance, protect well-functioning ducts, and minimize disruption during renovations.
Duct cleaning is a viable option to maintain your duct system when significant damage, leaks, or mold are not present. Routine cleaning improves airflow and indoor air quality. Removing accumulated dust, allergens, and debris restores efficiency and reduces energy loss. Homeowners observe improved HVAC performance and healthier living spaces without the need for complete duct replacement if the ducts are structurally sound.
