Maryland Heating and Cooling are honest and do everything right.
I am an engineer and I know everything about air conditioning. I could do the installation myself, but I do not have a permit to work with some freons, so I had to call a HVAC company to replace an old 2.5 ton heat pump system (that used R\-22) with a new 2.5 ton heat pump system (that uses R\-410A). I contacted 13 companies that work in my area. 9 of them told me that they are very busy and do not take new orders. 4 companies sent an estimator and gave me their proposals. Three of the four proposals included items that were not necessary, which is what pushed the prices way up. When two people from Maryland Heating and Cooling (Debbie and Ron) showed up they started to discuss with each other (in my presence) which items I do not need to replace, which would save me money. In the end they decided that none of the existing duct work needs to be modified and that the old copper lines are in good shape and can be re\-used. In the end they came up with the lowest price, significantly lower than the three other offers. Furthermore, they were able to do the installation on the second day after I signed the contract and paid the deposit. I was watching them while they did the work, and I am confident that they did everything right, because I understand exactly what they were doing and why. In other words, they did not cut any corners. I can recommend this company.
