Aspen Air Heating & Cooling

Went with Aspen after buying a groupon to do an AC check up. I don’t know what a typical check up is like but it went surprisingly quick. No problems found and it was nice not getting suckered into something you don’t need. Felt like I got a good deal and peace of mind knowing it should be good to go for awhile.
Pleased and would use their services again.

You what sucks? Turning on your AC in anticipation of a week of 90 degree weather… and finding your AC is broken. It sucks a lot because you know you are gonna be hot and you know it ain’t gonna be cheap.
After calling around a few places, I found Aspen Air. They must have heard my desperation and agreed to squeeze me in that afternon. My time slot was 1−4pm. The scheduler kindly agreed to call me when the tech was en route to my house, so I didn’t have to sit at home waiting all afternoon.
Andrew, my tech, was knowledgable and friendly. He showed me what he was looking at/​for, did a few tests, and told me my unit was the cheapest, crappiest unit available online and was impressed it lasted 8 years since it was installed in 2002 (I was dismayed since I thought those contraptions would go at least 15 – 20 years). Given the crappiness of the unit I inherited when I bought my place, the cost of repairing it (if the leak could be found and repaired), and the cost of a new, more efficient, tax credit friendly unit, I think I have decided to bite the bullet and install a new one.
Andrew, also apparently able to detect my desperation, said he could get me in for a consultation this Saturday morning to have my place measured and inspected before they recommended the best unit for my property (and budget). More to follow tomorrow… in the meantime, my poor golden retriever is going to stay with Grandma and Grandpa who have perfectly cold air circulating through their home as I type…
