Richard provided heating service todayHe was very knowledgeable in answering our questionsHe had a pleasing demeanor and professional attitudeMost importantly when talking technology, he was able to talk to us in a way that we could understand*** * *** ***

Chas Roberts did it again! The technician, Christopher, that they dispatched in response to my call to identify and resolve my HVAC problem, quickly identified the issue and explained options for resolutionChristopher completed the repair and left me with the impression that Chas Roberts is committed to outstanding customer assistanceI highly recommend Chas Roberts!

Christien R***, was our service tech and he called before his arrival and he arrived when promisedHe was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and took time to educate us on our thermostat settings for the winter months He also helped us reach office personnel who helped us with some past paperwork issues which have now been resolvedThank you Chris, Crystal, Scott and Tami

Everyone we deal with is very niceBut this firm is obviously suffering from serious disorganizationIt can't even manage its dispatch process professionally let alone resolve a thermostat issueThe equipment issue may be a manufacturering/design problem over which it has limited controlBut the scheduling issues and installation issues reflect poor training, bad management oversight, and insufficient concern for the customer experienceI really like the people but I must discourage others from relying on this firm at this time

Wonderful company to work with! We always request Jimmy M***, who is a real professional and personable young man who does a wonderful job servicing our furnace and air conditioning unit He is a real asset to the Chas R*** business

I recently had warranty work done on my Trane unitThe technician said it was possible that the thermostat was defective and he would order a new oneto business days to receive the new one he saidTurned in to allmost weeks with no contactWhen he came back he installed the thermostatI received no box no paperwork for the unitI later found out it was a used thermostat last registered in a different citySo that explains why there was no box or paperworkI also never received my new return they were supposed to install when they returned to fix there installation issuesI bought the crew pizza and drinks on my install day thinking they would do a good job for me instead they took shortcuts that led to repairs at a latter dateI will say the staff is friendly and curtious and cleaned up after themselvesIf I paid for a new thermostat I should have a new thermostatIf I paid for a new return I should have a new return

Fred serviced our A/C on our yearly plan and he was great, spent over minutes carefully inspecting everything to make sure we were safe and our a/c unit was running 100%He was very professional, funny, patient and thorough

Our serviceman Daniel was very professional even offered to stay in hot house rather than seat in air condition ruck while he waited for replacement part to be dropped offAfter offering him a cold drink many times he finally asked if we would mind if he accepted a cold CokeIt was reassuring that when he returned after several visits he told us he would not leave our home till we had a functioning air conditionerWe Thank everyone we have dealt with at Chas Roberts for their help & understanding in getting our system operating

year extended warranty purchased on 3/**/$on *** a/c unitI called to schedule a service check on my unitWas told my warranty expired in May of They stated that this extended warranty actually started on the date my new unit was installed at our new home in May which would equal the years There is no indication on my receipt that warranty started back in They continued to say that they spoke to my husband (passed away ***2016) back in about this and he was in agreementWhy would we even agree to that when our paperwork was for yearsI have tried reasoning with *** but ** keeps saying "even though it's not on my receipt that is the policyrepresentation and failure to honor what I paid for

One of my worst service experiencesA dishonest plumber showed up to fix a small leak in my main lineThe landscaper had already dug up the area and exposed the leakThe plumber claimed he would have to cut concrete and quoted $for the jobIt turned out he just had to dig mud inches deeper and replace an elbow jointLess than a hour jobCriminal! He did a lousy job too bending copper tubing a lot to replace the elbowThe sad thing for me is that I only agreed to the quote as my previous experience with the AC side of Chas Roberts was not a negative one

Very fast and professional serviceWe are under a heat advisory and was concerned about how long it might take to get serviced and didn't take long at all and under warranty!!! Very happy and nice employees

Hi, I’m *** *** I am a property manager for a lot of homes in Gilbert, San Tan, & Queen Creek I want to thank a service technician, Ryan U***; as well as Chas Roberts, for supporting Ryan as he always does more than a great job on our homes Ryan has been to of my properties, repaired units, maintained others (some have more than one) and and he is very thorough and covers every part of our AC and Heat systems He cleans up his mess and sometimes a little of our tenants mess Some tenants say they’ve seen a web page showing he’s an *** *** *** *** *** * *** *** * *** *** *** * *** *** *** *** *** It’s amazing, to think Chas found such a gem Our tenants love him, when they say they’re a tenant, he asks if a landlord is available for recommendations or if they have a limited power of attorney for repairs We’ve started sending our tenants POA’s so he can do workSeveral ask why other techs are so messy or fast, he told them, “we’re all experts at something, I like to be careful because this is your home and Chas Roberts wants to give you the Best That means I give you my best.” I hope I meet him because I’d like to buy him lunch and get a warranty for each unit as we replace them Genuinely a pleasure to have Ryan in our homes of stars, best of the techs that serve our *** *** *** home corporate rentals Perfect Chas Roberts Thank you and Thank Ryan from all of us!

Daniel was professional and helpful concerning our A/C unit We are thankful for his expert adviceChas Roberts is a solid and honest company, and the CAP program (maintenance) is something we invest in and recommend to others

We went with Chas Roberts as they were the ones who installed our AC unit when we built our home, after only being in our home since February our AC went out, so we called them out, we called on Sunday they couldnt come until Tuesday, the technician came out and said we were really low on the gas in the AC unit and we needed another 5lbs of it for our unit to run, he also stated we had a leak but could not find itSo we paid over $to have it filled, and he said they will send another technician out a week later to look for the leak again, and our best bet is to wait until fall and cooler weather so they can do a much more thorough search, but our AC will have to be shut off at least a week to do it, and he quoted us $for that, well today is Tuesday, exactly a week later and this man shows up, very nice, but again, can NOT find the leak and tells me that our freon in our AC unit is low by 4lbs and it will be almost $to fill it and if I dont fill it today that our AC will not be working in a week, and that our best bet is to wait until fall and cooler temps to do the more in-depth search for the leak but then tells me it will be $dollars,
So now our only option is to continue to fill our AC unit and spend around $a month to KEEP FILLING THE FREON???? Chas Roberts sent out technicians and could not find said leak, but wants to keep charging us to fill our AC unit until around October and we can go without air.....my complaint is how do you know its a leak when different techs came out, neither could find anything, but both wants us to spend money to fill it or we will be without air, I have a month old and also work from home, we DO NOT have that kind of money, I feel like we are being ripped off and lied to, why can anyone find a leak? why cant they tell me why we are loosing the gas? how do they expect anyone to have an extra $a month to fill it just to have AC? I feel like they just want out money, and want to keep having techs come out to fill our unit, but not resolve the issue, I will not give Chas Roberts another penny and will not recommend them to anyone I know
