Drew C came out to our condo in response to our request for an estimate for a replacement air conditioning unit, since our old unit was malfunctioning. Drew was very clear on how he explained the new unit would be more efficient and better suited to our needs than our current one. He also explained issues such as rebates offered by AEP that were built into the price of the unit and installation of said unit by Columbus Worthington Air. In addition, he explained the pros and cons of repairing the current unit versus replacing it.During this explanation Drew also mentioned the involvement of the furnace in the functioning of the air conditioning unit and hence the age and condition of the furnace was drawn into question. It because clear that it would be to our advantage to replace both the furnace and the air conditioning unit at the same time. While this would involve an initial increased financial outlay, the long term benefits in terms of decreased gas and electric bills due to the efficiency of the new unit would be substantial. Also, the financing offered at 0% for 12 months through the bank that Columbus Worthington Air worked with, was clearly a financial deal worth taking advantage of. Columbus Worthington Air and Drew facilitated every stage of the process of qualifying for the financing to make the process as smooth and as quick as possible. In less than 24 hours, our financing was approved and we had signed on for a new air conditioning unit and a new furnace.
Jeff C. and Andrew V were a two person team from Columbus Worthington Air assigned to replaced replace the air conditioning unit and the furnace at our condo that morning. As promised, the team member called ahead punctually to let me know that they were on their way. On arrival, Jeff concentrated on removing the old air conditioning unit and installing the new one while Andrew focused on doing the same with the furnace. Jeff and Andrew competently explained the process they were going to undertake during the day, to me and answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. A problem arose when it became clear that the new air conditioning unit was much larger than the old one and hence would not fit in the place where the old one had been placed. Jeff immediately brought this fact to my attention and explained the options for alternative placement to me. I obtained permission for the alternative placement from the condo association and Jeff was then able to proceed with the installation. However, since the new placement was some distance away from the originally anticipated placement, longer pipes, etc were now required that Jeff did not have with him. Jeff promptly placed a call to his headquarters and requested that the required items to delivered to him as soon as possible so he could proceed with the installation with a minimum of delay. This was done within a half hour. Jeff and Andrew displayed excellent levels of team work, efficiency, punctuality, competency, courtesy and an ability to quickly and efficiently solve unanticipated problems. They worked hard in the pouring rain all day to get the job done on time despite the unanticipated issues. In addition, they cleaned up the work areas completely of all debris and had taken care to use drop cloths before starting so that there were no muddy foot prints to clean up later. All the old equipment which had to be removed was taken away to be disposed off by Columbus Worthington Air, so that we, the homeowners, were not left with that hassle to deal with. I can say, with complete honesty, that we were totally satisfied with the job done by Columbus Worthington Air, and that Drew, Jeff and Andrew did a completely satisfactory job. We have no reservations in recommending Columbus Worthington Air to other homeowners looking for service providers in the heating and cooling area.
