Barrus installed my system about 10 years ago. They have provided excellent service and repair along the way. Best investment ever.
We could not be happier with Barrus Heating and Air! From the professionalism that we encountered from our first phone call with the lady that answers the phones to the expertise that we saw when James first came out to check our system, Barrus is definitely a first class establishment. They were very thorough in the process of discovering our AC system issues and Bill Barrus had different options for us to choose from in terms of how to rectify our problems. He spent plenty of time explaining each option to us and helping us to understand what our choice would mean for our final outcome.Our home has required the services of many AC companies in the past but we are thrilled to have finally found a company that we can be with for the long haul and trust to do a great job.
It’s rare that I do reviews, but I was so impressed with James at Barrus heating and air that I wanted to shout out to Charleston area that we have a gem of a business here that is working with integrity, honesty and professionalism. I will highly recommend this company to all who are inquiring and even to my friends that aren’t inquiring because they will file this away for the future. Thank you so much.
Great price and the AC Tech had no problem teaching me the basics while he worked. He knew his stuff and my system is literally working better than when it was new.
Connor was super professional and open with his diagnosis that we had a blown blower motor in our HVAC system. He made sure to prioritize us and got us up and running in the same day as it was pretty hot in our home. We made sure to sign up for a maintenance plan so that our unit runs smoothly and extends the life of the new motor.
I gotta say Conner (my technician) was excellent yesterday. He was very polite, punctual, and efficient. Definitely someone you feel comfortable inviting into your home. He informed me of each the status of not only the repair but also condition of my entire system. Every company could use more Conners.
So far I like them, they seem honest and I do not feel like they want to get extra money for no reason.
Mr. Barrus was hands on through the entire process. Warm personality and very professional, he presented well priced options and even lended us a few window units to ensure my pregnant fiancé was comfortable in the days leading up to the install. During the first heat wave of the the year he and his crew were right on time!
Up until today, I had only good things to say. While Bill and his crew maybe a little more expensive, they do excellent work. Today, I called because I needed help with the ductwork that was installed by Bill and his crew but was told that they no longer service our area, not even for an extra fee. While the issue with the ductwork has nothing to do with the workmanship or any kind of warranty, I was still very disappointed for having been turned away. Considering the business we did with Bill in the past and the money we spent (2 a/c units ~$13k, ductwork and minor repairs ~$2500k), turning us away is simply not acceptable and I am sad to say that we will no longer conduct any business at all with Barrus Heating & Air. However, if you are in their service area, I can highly recommend them, but be careful as you might end up outside their service area as well.EDIT: the driving distance is exactly 37.9 miles and per Google Maps, which is usually very accurate, the drive time is ~1 hour and 3 minutes.
We woke up on a Monday morning with no heat. I called Barrus and they had somebody out to my house within an hour. James was very polite and thorough. He found the problem and was able to fix it quickly and ensured our heat was working again before he left. The cost was much lower than we were expecting. If we have any problems with our heating and air in the future, Barrus Heating & Air will be our first call.
Our AC wasnt maintaining temperature. There was about a 5° difference. The tech said there was a freon leak and it was considerably low. I was told my entire unit needed replacing (which it will in the not so distant future). Called a different company and they said the freon wasnt low enough to mention and certainly wasnt the issue. The heating coils were stuck on and competing with the AC. So essentially I paid this company to come out and lie to me. Im only giving 2 stars because the service tech was nice and it was only $70, which is reasonable if the were to give accurate information. My AC is now fixed and it took less than an hour and $140 with the other company.
After another company came out numerous times and could not fix my hvac Barrus came out and had it running perfectly in about an hour. They were on time, very knowledgeable, and a reasonable price. From now on they are the only hvac company I would recommend. Thank you Barrus Heating and Air.Perry G
Barrus replaced our HVAC system at a very reasonable price. The installation was done quicker than I had expected and with great professionalism. They are a great company to work with.
I was given a recommendation from my parents as I just moved to SC; they came the same day, were very extremely nice and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone
They were able to get out to us same day and help us out with our A/C unit. I would highly recommend them to anyone. 10/10
Got appointment same day, small issue was fix on the spot. Little in sticker shock over price but grateful it was taken care of.
It usually takes really good service or really poor service to drive me to leave reviews of companies, and in this instance I had an incredible experience. Our A/C unit stopped blowing cold air and the company was able to quickly and professionally respond to our request for a system diagnosis.The lead technician, James, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and willing to share every minute detail; which I appreciate being an engineer.Our issue turned out to be a capacitor and quick fix. We also had our Freon levels properly adjusted. The pricing for all of these services were clear upfront and very reasonable.While this was only my first experience with Barrus Heating and Air, based on their customer service and professionalism, they have totally secured me as a customer!
This company is top notch. They are extremely friendly and professional. If your looking for a honest company, look no further.
Technician was courteous. Problem was fixed for a few hours then started again. Called back around 2:30 pm and was advised no tech could come out that day. Now I have a full hot house with no a/c minus $100. Called the next day with no assurance that I wouldnt be billed another service fee for a tech coming back out so I decided to go with another company. I was advised that the wire that I thought was repaired wasnt. Wire was replaced by another company and a/c runs fine. Thing happen I suppose but I just dont have money to waste and I want people to stand behind there work.
Upon recommendation from a friend with experience in the HVAC business, I called Barrus to check out our system for the summer. From appointment setting and confirmation to the appointment itself, I couldnt have been more pleased. There was no pressure, but an offer to do a twice-yearly check-up was made and I gladly took them up on it. Great folks.
Great company. Our compressor locked up on a Saturday night. I waited until Monday AM to call on a recommendation from my neighbor. (He said, Barrus is the best.) I explained Monday morning to the dispatcher my wife was 8 1/2 months pregnant and we had no AC. They got a tech out that morning, diagnosed a locked compressor, had a quote ready all in the same day. Also it turns out they moved some scheduling around and came out the very Mr day to install the new unit. James was the veteran tech on site. Very professional and knowledgeable. They had the unit installed in no time and running. Eat work, above and beyond for their customer and great follow through on their word. This level of customer service is a dying art and people should know just how much I appreciate what this company did for me and my family! Thank you!!
The technician that came here was friendly, professional, and explained things well.
Excellent AC install, fantastic service, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
They are Unwilling to work with a home warranty company. All that is needed is to communicate repairs needed to get payment approval and payment would be immediate. I would understand “if warranty does not pay then you will be fully responsible” but they didn’t even offer that. Service call was flat stopped with “we don’t ...”. I cannot comment on their service as we never got that far.
Truly top notch crew. Couldn’t have asked for better people to work with. Had to replace my hvac system and every single person involved was super nice and professional. I’d recommend these folks to anyone.
These guys showed up on time and quickly evaluated and solved the problem. More importantly, in this world where every service provider it seems is trying to extract as much cash from you as possible through up-selling and just downright selling you something you dont need, my many years experience with this company allows me to say with great confidence, this is a company you can trust. The service has always been top notch and at a great value. I dont have to shop around.
Oh my gosh...the best service from the person that answers the phone to the tech on site.
I had Barrus Heating and Air install a new American Standard split system installed on June 18, 2018. Here’s the take away: 1. They are honest. 2. They keep their word. 3. They are reliable. 4. They are professional. 5. They have VERY competitive prices.
Hardworking team went above and beyond to repair my unit. Immediately provided temporary units while waiting for the new parts and got the replacements in quickly. Thanks so much!
Quick service, the guy we had come was super nice, and helped us alot.
I have dealt with Barrus 2 separate times. Both times they have been super punctual and always arrive the same day that you call. I found out that I needed to replace my whole unit, so the owner of the company, Bill, came to my house to discuss my options with me. He was very thorough and very informative. He even got a crew to come out on the Saturday before memorial day, instead of having to wait until the following week, due to the high temperatures.I would recommend Barrus to anyone who asks. They always do an amazing job, are honest, informative and extremely professional.Im super happy with my experience!!
I was in a jam and needed to get a followup from a home inspection to be able to complete the sale. Time was critical. It was handled quickly and efficiently.
I called at 0900 and the technician was at my home by 1400. They even called and asked if he could come earlier at 1200 but I was at work and had to do 1400. He still got there early, and had it fixed in 15 minutes. Then asked me if he could change my filters for me; no charge to me. The whole experience was just refreshing. The office was so polite and accommodating over the phone, updated via email of my appointment and when the technician was on the way, and then quickly got a bill. No extra charges or surprises. Will definitely be going with them in the future.
Barrus continues to be the only HVAC service in the lowcountry that I trust. They are on time, responsive, have reasonable rates...and most of all, I have found them to be entirely honest. These are the folks you want!
The Team at Barrus always is prompt and helpful.Myisha who answers phones is the best. Service is fast and they solve the problem right away. Their service program make sure you are on the front of the list something goes wrong.
Extremely happy with Barrus. I have had several other companies come out to service my units, but Barrus was hands down the best service and price. James was able to come out and conduct a complete diagnosis of my problem with my upstairs unit. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions to satisfaction. Evan was able to come out and do a top notch install of a new evaporator coil in no time. I am now a Barrus customer. Thanks guys!
I recommend this business highly. Bill came to my house and did a thorough inspection and explained to me the equipment. His no-nonsense pricing and knowledge of his products is top notch.The guys who installed the equipment in my house showed up at 0800 as scheduled and promptly finished by 1500.
Another great experience with all of the Barrus Heating & Air people. I can recommend them without reservation.
This company is one of the most professional and down to earth heating and air conditioning that I ever encountered in my 63 years of life. When the owner came to give estimate he removed his shoes as to not dirty the floor as did his employees did when they arrived to install.His employees were down to earth and answered any questions we asked.The owner took well over an 1 1/2hours during the estimate and was more concerned with our needs than his profit. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.One other thing I would like to say before the install began the employee but down cloth runners to catch any dirt or insulation dust that might fall . When they cleaned up they also picked up anything that might not of fallen on the runners
Amazing experience from beginning to end! Bill (the owner) personally came out to look at my old (broken) AC and assess what would work best for my home. He sat down and explained my options to me and never tried to sell me on the biggest and most expensive ones. He gave me prices and options on the spot. When installing my AC unit, they had seen that my front glass door was hanging off of the hinges at the top, I had to go run an errand and they were gone before I returned home and they had FIXED my front door for me!! Obviously, at no charge and left me a note saying that they had put a few extra screws in it and hoped that it helped. It completely fixed it! Now that is service!! They also sent someone out to my home on a Saturday to help me set up my thermostat to wifi and showed me how to use the special extra features on it. Amazing service at an amazing price!! Recommend these guys 100%!!!
They did a great job with our ductwork. Very reliable. Definitely recommend them!
Installation went smoothly.System not been on so far but its bound to be a huge improvement.Thanks for service.
Very professional and knowledgeable! Arrived on time and never tried to up-sell me! Very happy with the service, knowledge and the American Standard product. Also quote was very fair & reasonable according to my research!
Highly recommend this company--they repaired the AC unit on our church building (which had been vandalized) for FREE! We were prepared to pay them, but there was no charge. A company with a big heart.
Excellent service. Arrive on time. Observed cleanliness. Quick and efficient.
Very responsive and professional.
My AC quit working on a humid September day. I called and spoke with the scheduler at Barrus and had an appointment for the next day, on a Saturday morning. Im very pleased with the service and appreciated having cool air again in less than 24 hours. The technician explained everything to me.
Cleaning of whole system went well and reasonably priced
I was happy with the initial service Barrus provided. However, their follow-up service left me extremely disappointed. I came home from work to a cool house, but my garage and outside power outlets no longer worked (they worked when I left). I knew it was no coincidence. I called Barrus to ask them to come look at what could have happend. I was told I needed to contact an electrician, because they didn’t touch my electricity and it wasn’t their problem. I called an electrician and they quickly diagnosed the issue as a GFI outlet that tripped (most likely due to something Barrus plugged into an outlet while they were working). All it would have taken to make a happy lifetime customer is some ownership in their work and a quick look at the problem. Instead I will never recommend or use them again.
My overall experience with Barrus Heating and Air was great. Very professional and prompt. They will be my heating and air company going forward. Thank you.
Super friendly staff and amazing and knowledge technicians. I called on a Friday and had someone out here on Monday. They came at the specific time frame, diagnosed our issue in a jiffy, and was able to replace a defective item the same day. Comparable pricing and I never felt taken advantage of. Thanks, Evan and James for coming out and solving our problem! Ill definitely recommend you guys to anyone looking for HVAC work!
Good response time. Nice people. Happy to have Barrus as my Air Conditioner guys!!
Technician did a great job of explaining the problem and how they would fix it. Gave price before the work was done and kept to quote. Quick response to initial call and fixed same day.
Our tech Zolly is the best! He was straight forward and very professional. Barrus is my new HVAC company!!!
With pollen as it is currently this season I had to flip on the A/C early and sadly the unit I had was on its last leg. Barrus came out quickly, assessed the unit and was able to secure everything needed to come out within the next day. Having company in town they made the install their #1 priority, coming out in the early hours on the day of the Bridge Run! Due to the quick turn around and it being over the weekend they werent able to get all parts but they did have the a/c up and running within just a few short hours. The owner himself came back Monday to check on everything and to finish off the job. He made sure that I was satisfied and knew how to work the new system. Thank you all again for the fast work and tip top customer service! Couldnt be happier.
Timely service and great service technician. Very friendly employees. Highly recommend Barrus.Heating & Air.
Ive had Bill and his guys install a couple Mini Splits and do service on some units and he even gave me special deal one-time owner unit always on top of their game and theyre honorable. He knows his stuff about HVAC
We had a great experience with Barrus Heating & Air with the installation of our new system. Bill Barrus was the only HVAC contractor who did a very detailed load test to determine the proper size of the systems we needed. This resulted in us downsizing one system by half a ton, which saved on the cost of the system and will save energy by not having the system short cycle. The new system works great, and it can be controlled by phone app even when were not home. Additional devices (ex. door locks, cameras, security system, etc.) can be added to this system as well. The cost of the systems was also lower than two other American Standard/Trane contractors.
We have been using Barrus Heating and Air LLC for over 5 years now. The first time we called Barrus was on the morning of July 4th with temps expected to be in the upper 90s. They fixed the problem promptly, at a fair price! Since then, we have been using them exclusively--even for a new system. We have always been satisfied with their service!!!
Just had my 10 year old unit replaced by these guys in Poplar Grove Charleston. Excellence in everything they did. Price was better than other quotes we got plus I got higher rated system with some special discounts from their suppliers. The installers were on time, fast & left my house cleaner than when they arrived. Barrus is my HVAC repair from now on! Oh, i also had my son call them on a his down stairs unit that had been giving him trouble (not fixed by another firm). Barrus sent a tech that found a leak in about 15 minutes and got him fixed too!
Wonderful company to work with. Needed a new AC unit and needed it ASAP and they were able to get the work done quicky and at a fair and reasonable price. Great employees, polite, respectful and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Would highly recommend and wiil definetly be using Barrus for all my heating and coolonh needs
I had another company come out. We spent 120 and nothing was fixed. Barrus came out, identified the issue and it works now. I would definitely recommend.
Had a fantastic experience with Barrus Heating and Air! Turns out that they are one of the few HVAC companies in the area with a Mechanics License from the LLR. They were very professional and an absolute pleasure to do business with. I am a house flipper and they were the third company I had do work on my unit that summer. We will certainly be going straight to them for our future Summerville flips!
Great customer service. Very informative. Took time to explain. Highly recommended!
Replace my complete A/C system and did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and experienced.
They sent a knowledgeable kind professional to my home. He did a fantastic job and was polite and friendly.
Barrus came in on time and did the work they quoted. No issues at all. Great work and good customer service. My AC vent is fixed. Thank you
Absolutely love these guys!!! They are professional and know what they are doing!!! They have helped us twice now in two different homes and the problem is always solved and will work hard to solve it!! Thanks Barrus, excellent in every way !!!!!
They were very nice and professional at their office when I called and Evan, the technition was also very promp, polite, professional and a very nice young man. Their price was very reasonable and I will call them again for future needs.
On time, courteous and does a great job!
When you live in a house built in the days when the central HVAC system was a coal stove in the winter and an open window in the summer, it is really important to have an HVAC installer who understands the Engineering behind a properly designed system. On this coldest day of the season, as I walk over a floor vent, my toasty toes remind me of the flawless HVAC system Barrus Heating and Air installed several years ago. I have recommended this company to many friends. Some companies just want to sell you a new system but my friends have told me that Barrus provides economical repairs. They are very professional and it has always amazed me how quickly they have responded even on peak days and weekends.
Youre guys are top notch, they know what they are doing!
Reliable, friendly, courteous
Fantastic people- Reputable, Reliable & Honest
If your looking for a company to maintain an service your heatingan cooling needs I would recommend Barrus Heating and Air inSummerville. For the past 6 years I had a company who wouldcome out to maintain an service my unit. I never had any issueswith my unit in the past. I called an set up an appointment to havemy unit checked as I had done in the past. He arrived on time anwent right to work. After checking the system in my attic he wentto check the outside unit. He came back inside an told me he hadto shut the power off on the outside system because it was badan had to be replaced. Then he was gone. I was sick over what todo. I talked to a friend of mine who told me to call Barrus Heatingand Air in Summerville. I called an spoke to Miesha an told herwhat had happened. She was Amazing, very friendly an professionalan took my concerns very serious. I didnt have to wait weeks forthe next available appointment. My professional technician James,who I highly recommend, showed up on time. He was alreadyaware of my issues. He filled me in on what he was going to doan went to work. After he finished checking the unit in the attic anthe unit outside, we sat down to discuss what he had done.I was expediting the worse case scenario that the unit had to bereplaced an the cost of a new system wasnt going to be cheapan knowing that I was not in a position financially. In todaystime money is really tight for so many people. When Jamesstarted to talk you could have knocked me over with a feather.He said the unit is back up an running perfect.There were issueswith the system, issues that he was able to resolve.Jamesalso found other problems on the installation of the unit that hewas able to correct. The bottom line for this long review is tolet people know there are still Honest Companies who haveTrustworthy people working with them. I was so very impressedfrom the first call I made to Miesha to James, the technicianwho serviced an repaired my unit to Mr .Barrus, the owner.I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the Wonderful Experienceshown to me by everyone at Barrus Heating and Air. J.A.D.
Extremely professional, Exceptional knowledge, best priced in Charleston!!
Had a problem with my furnace, called barrus hvac, the very courteous phone attendant set the appointment out for the same day, the service technician came out identify the problem and fixed it fast, didnt try to oversell me, really liked the service and ill recommend it to everyone I know!
After being let down by other companies, I was very impressed with the response time & quality of work from Barrus H&A.
Awesome company to work with!
They practice Biblical ethics, need say no more
