  "We did everything right." You can be the judge of that. Here's the story: After my heat was out for five days in early January, Columbia Heating came and fixed the pilot light. Three days later, an estimator from Rose City Heating came to give my landlord a quote. When he left, the pilot light (which had been recently fixed) was no longer working. I had no luck fixing it myself. A Rose City Heating repair person (named Paul) came that night and didn't look at the pilot light. He came to give me a space heater. I was then without heat for another several days of winter, and I was told to block out 8-11am plus 4-6 hours for installation of a new unit. That was rescheduled, I believe it was the same day, to closer to noon. When they arrived, I asked: can you first check to see if you can fix the pilot light? Repairperson Paul (who was doing the installation) said "that's not what the landlord authorized." Even though, when I spoke to the Landlord the next day, he said "did they even try to fix the pilot light, first?" No they didn't...not during the night Paul came over, nor the day he came back for install. **On installation day, it took barely 2-3 hours to 'complete' the installation job. That should've been the first hint of something being wrong. Pictures attached -bottom door of the unit wasn't able to close because Repairperson Paul said we would need to cut the floor (not true) -shows the cover on top of the unit, which was about to fall off The pilot light was making noises several times an hour (7-9 click click click click click click 'light') and I asked Repairperson Paul about this. He said it was going to happen now since I don't have a constant pilot light any more. I asked if he could make it happen less, and he said no. Over the course of the next five days, the heater made hundreds of loud noises at all hours. EVERY 18 minutes, the following noises ensued: (Sample Timeframe) 10:33 pilot light clicks on (this is a series of 7-8 clicks before it lights) 10:37 “wahh” noise 10:39 ‘whirring’ noise 20 seconds 10:41 ‘whirring’ noise for 15 seconds 10:43 ‘whirring’ noise for20 seconds 10:43 – 10:46 “clanking and whirring noise’ 10:52 pilot light clicks on (7-8 series of clicks) Whole cycle repeats 11:10 Pilot light clicks on (7-8 clicks) Whole cycle repeats And on and on. This is hundreds of noises per day, emanating from the middle of my apartment, there is no escaping. The unit looks very similar to the previous unit, which only made noise while heating the air. It did not make any other noises. These noises were extraordinarily disruptive from a brand new unit. Rose City Heating then wisely sent Repair & Installation person Pat over and he spent 3.5 hours fixing the job that his colleague had done on the install (Note: The electric is still very messy, they said that would take a month to fix) Pat even adjusted the thermostat so that the pilot light only clicks on less than a dozen times per day, instead of 3-5x an hour (96+ times per day) HOWEVER, as soon as Pat left, the heating unit no longer worked and I was without heat another 1/2 day and night. Turns out, Pat had accidentally flicked the switch to "off" when re-caulking the left side of the unit. He fixed it and said "wasn't this great customer service?" True, he and Paul are super nice guys. But the best customer service would be to not have lost heat again after hours and hours (and days) were spent on this unit by your team. My landlord and I have had to cancel countless commitments to be available for huge time windows and noise in my home. The reason he opted for the new unit was to avoid the headache that dealing with the old unit may have caused. Due to the installation procedures, significantly more headaches and hours of time investment have been incurred by us both. ***No discount was given, in fact, the 'accidentally' added a cost they hadn't mentioned during the original quote. I do not recommend Rose City Heating.

  We were in need of new air conditioning units and an air handler at the start of the summer, during supply shortages, so our expectations weren't exactly high, and we weren't in a hurry anyway (they were still working, just not at their peak anymore). They weren't able to get one of the air conditioner units due to the supply shortages, but installed the other two right away and took less time than they had planned. While we were waiting, the unit waiting to be replaced broke, and they came out to fix it for free. They were apologetic for it taking so long to get the second AC unit, which was unnecessary as it was not at all their fault. Everything with them went as well as it possibly could have, and I'd recommend them to anyone.
