The best of three companies I used.
In four visits, Bel\-Red HVAC failed to accurately diagnose the cause of extremely high CO in the exhaust. They claimed it was a cracked heat exchanger, which they were unable to inspect. They also did not know the rebate on my heat exchanger had been extended past its original expiration date. Brennan HVAC was able to inspect half of the heat exchangers, finding no evidence of a crack but concluding a crack existed in the exchanger they could not see. Jerry at Black Lion knew about the bad material in the heat exchanger and was able to show me the gunk that exudes from that material and clogs the exchanger, and he knew the rebate had been extended. So I had Black Lion do the replacement. When it immediately reported code 33 errors, a different tech came out and explained it away saying the furnace is oversized for my home and I cannot close any vents without causing this error (and damaging the A/C). Dissatisfied with that assessment I got Jerry out again and he found the initial adjustments were badly out of spec, and corrected it. The other tech had evidently recently been hired and was experienced in Trane rather than Bryant. I have every confidence in Jerry, and in Black Lion's committment to my satisfaction. The owner called me to make sure I got what I needed.
