Heed the other poor reviews warning of dishonesty and the lack of professionalism. Absolutely unprofessional and inept people working for this company. This company knowingly charged me for a good and service that was not provided. Deceptively adding things on to the invoice. When I called to inquire I was spoken to very rudely and dismissively. I was told that I'd receive a call back to discuss the issues however I never received a call back. Only a revised invoice to my email removing the fraudulent and deceptive charges. This is an admission of guilt without the apology. These service

Terrible service. I am extremely disappointed by you service, I called to have your team come out, 1- no one ever showed up on the first appointment time. 2- I rescheduled with the admin after confirming that the service person when to another appointment after providing a time frame of arrival. After the reschedule you provided a 2 hour time window for today and still no show. Do not use their service.

We are very disappointed with the lack of upfront honesty regarding their charges and poor customer service. Any customer should be informed of charges and rates, especially when requested from the beginning. We had Chuck's come to our home to follow up from a recent inspection since our AC unit was not functioning correctly. Two workers came, inspected unit for a brief 20 minutes and quoted us almost $2k of fixing. They charged us $90 for that 20 minutes - not worth the time it took them or the frustration on our end. We tried to work with Chuck to see if we could roll that charge into a

Update 5/13/18: I heard back from Chuck and he offered a $100 refund and an apology. He seems like a nice guy trying to run an honest business, I think some of the workers are just not great. Hopefully if Chuck is determined to change that he can do some additional training or replace some folks and improve customer service. But for now I am officially gruntled instead of disgruntled.

I called and made an appointment for noon today. At 12:15 I called and asked where the tech was, after 5 mins of run around, they told me the tech was on his way. I requested a time frame and was told that the tech would arrive in 15 mins. I communicated that I need to leave by 12:45 to return to work. At 12:30, no tech had arrived. I called again, confirming where the tech was, because the timeframe was getting tight. They assured me he was close. At 12:45, there was no tech, I called again and had to cancel. With so many options for heating and air in this area, don't choose these guys.

Chuck's switched my furnace out from oil to natural gas. Showed up on time, very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Now I'm glad my old furnace broke because gas is so much easier and I don't have to be concerned about the fuel oil level in the tank.
