AMS Air Conditioning and Heating

I used Unilocal to request a call from AMS, which first of all made me happy since I didn’t have to sit around on hold on the phone. They called me within 30 minutes and a technician was at my house within an hour.
Not only was it a fast fix (thank goodness) but the technician showed me how the furnace works and what I can check on my own if I have a problem in the future.
The fast response time, reasonable price, and overall honesty and pleasant attitude of the technician gives AMS 5 stars in my book!

I highly recommend AMS. Moshe was extremely punctual and was available to talk morning or night. He responded to my messages within a couple of minutes and never seemed bothered by all my questions. He gave me valuable advice and I was able to get my heat up and running before the winter storm.

I can’t say enough good things about AMS. From the start Moshe was professional and conscious of the value of my time. He worked around my schedule, often showing up after 7pm to meet me when I got home from work. AMS installed and entire HVAC (AC and furnace) system and undercut «the other guys» but about 15%! And when we had a hardware problem, Moshe worked tirelessly to find the problem. It’s great to work with someone who values their reputation.
You can tell these guys are experienced and valued my business. Very few contractors have been as prompt and honest and I’m happy to give a reference for AMS anytime.

Totally unprofessional– never gave me a time for estimate in the day I asked and never followed up. Had to text to ask for a time of arrival and was told he was too busy. Go elsewhere.

Moshe and his team at AMS just replaced my old furnace and A/​C system with a new high efficiency system. They walked me through everything beforehand, charged a fair price, helped me with Pepco rebates and were done in one day. Neat, friendly and professional. What else could you want?

Highly recommend AMS! Moshe was quick, knowledgeable, honest, and even fit us in with very short notice. If you need HVAC service these are your guys.

I was very impressed with Moshe’s work. Our A/​C (16 yrs+ old) had suddenly stopped working one hot and muggy night here in the DC area. Our regular AC-​Furnace guy was unavailable and I found AMS on Unilocal.Our A/​C had started up again, but wanted Moshe to come out and look at the unit. He arrived right at the appointment time (2:00 pm) and we went straight to the unit. He took the panel off and identified in minutes that the capacitor was dead. He disconnected it, poured some water/​oil out of it, and reconnected a new one. He turned the power on and the fan and compressor came right on. Wow! All in about 8 minutes. He asked for a hose to clean out the external filter (which was filthy) and said it’s working fine. He said my furnace fan (which pushes the air through the house) sounded a bit slow, but he said it can wait until the fall. He generated a bill on his iPad, I signed, and received the email in minutes. I wrote him a check and he was off. Great result and service!

When my air conditioner failed to keep the house cool, I called another company (Herizon in Waldorf, MD) whose repair person was dismissive of the problem after barely looking at the air handler. When this didn’t fix the problem (surprise!), I called Moshe at AMS. He scheduled a visit promptly, showed up, figured out the problem and, within an hour or so had fixed it and my AC was cooling the house. I highly recommend this business!

I called AMS late Tuesday afternoon after waiting for another HVAC company who kept delaying their arrival. I finally got fed up and decided to call AMS instead, should have been my first choice but Unilocal had them buried down in the results page, go figure. Moshe came first thing the next morning and fixed our AC. He explained everything that was wrong and potential issues. He never pressured me or try to sell me more than what was needed. AMS is a very professional company; honest, knowledgable, prompt, fair pricing, and courteous… he took his shoes off coming into the house! It’s no wonder why they’ve received 5 stars from so many customers. They just got another perfect rating from a very satisfied customer!

My AC stopped working and I called four places in the evening leaving messages for them to call me back first thing in the AM. Moshe understands what first thing in the morning means and he called me back first, so he got my business. Someone came later that afternoon fixed my AC in less than 20 mins. I paid just over $ 200 which is what I thought it would end up costing, so I didn’t feel fleeced– which is always a concern when hiring repair companies. Everything is still working today, so I’m happy. I highly recommend this company. Professional, fast, fair, and effective.

Moshe is the man. After buying a new home and having the 17 yo air conditioner stop working on a steaming hot move in day, we were appropriately frustrated, nervous and disappointed. I called AMS around 7 pm and had a reply by 730. He fit me in at the end of his day the following afternoon and helped me troubleshoot what happened to be a not so straightforward fuse issue.
We talked for a little while about regular maintenance and despite my unit being old and two inspectors telling me I would likely need to replace the whole unit and system, Moshe guided me to be conservative and didn’t try to sell me anything. At the end of the day he restored cool air, and earned my trust as an honest and capable HVAC service and I will go to him for future needs.
And he only charged me the diagnostic fee, btw.

We had a broken thermostat over the weekend and called Moshe at 10am Sunday morning to see if he could help with wiring. He was able to advise us over the phone, told us exactly what to do, and sure enough, 10 minutes later we had AC again! Moshe was courteous and professional, and his family runs one of the few HVAC businesses open every day. We are so glad we called him. If we have any other issues in the future, he will be the first person we call. Thanks Moshe!

Courteous, Professional, Helpful, Knowledgeable
He repaired our crazy old Bryant AC unit from the 50s which broke down the same morning we called him (no one else could come until the following week). My weekend just got a lot less hot so I’m really thankful towards AMS. I highly recommend him!

Hire this gentleman for your AC repair needs. Seriously. He is honest and has integrity. My AC had quit working altogether after several days of being very loud. AMS came out on an hours notice to give me a second opinion after another company, that is a Unilocal favorite for some reason, quoted me a very expensive repair at best but highly recommended complete system replacement. Well, I can’t imagine the other company even bothered to LOOK at what might be wrong because as soon as Moshe removed and opened up the motor/​fan assembly while I stood right there watching, even my untrained eye could see that the screw holding the fan wheel to the shaft was half way out! No wonder the thing didn’t turn. He tightened the screw, put everything back together and the AC works perfectly and quietly again. 30 minutes from start to finish and approximately $ 8000 less than the other company claimed I needed to spend.

After getting tired of many services providers that seemed to go wild with their imagination of all that needed to be done with astounding amounts of work and money needed, I decided to give this one a try based on Unilocal results. He was quick to come over, nice and efficient. It seemed that the only thing my AC needed was a good clean and it now works perfectly and at a reasonable cost.

I was in the market for a new complete HVAC system and called four different companies. AMC not only offered the best price but explained me the pros and cons of different systems and sizes. They did a very nice Job. I highly recommend them.

I don’t like giving negative reviews, but didn’t have a choice. When my AC stopped working, I turned to Unilocal.The glowing reviews convinced me to call AMS. I was able to schedule an appointment with Moshe for the following day (and only having to leave work one hour earlier than normal)
Unfortunately the next day Moshe was a no-​show, and did not pick up his calls. 2 hours after the agreed appointment time, I received a call saying there was an accident and AMS could come by the next day between 2−3pm. After asking for an earlier time since it would require me to take more time of work, AMS stated I would receive a call from the owner.
No followup call was received, and had to go with another company and wait another day. I understand accidents happen, but to not followup after a no-​show (even to say «we can’t come the following day») was inexcusable.

AMS fixed our AC quickly, after another company told us the whole unit needed to be replaced. Here are the details:
The other company was called and it took a few days for them to come to our house. When they came, they checked the thermostat, then checked the outdoor fuses and the indoor fuse box which had blown, reset it all and tried the AC. It blew the fuse again. They said the whole unit needed to be replaced. They gave us an estimate for 3 possible units ($ 7 – 10,000).
We knew just barely enough to consider that blowing a fuse does not necessarily mean the basic equipment has failed, and not wanting to pay the $ 7 – 10,000 unless we were sure it was needed, we called AMS for a second opinion.
Moshe arrived within 2 hours of the call. He went through the same process as the other company but then he actually opened up the AC unit and in 2 seconds saw that the wiring connection from the unit to the power was a mess. Not guaranteeing that this was all that was wrong with the AC, he got the connector replacement part in an hour, came back and replaced it and voila!!! the AC unit still worked!
He says he would rather be honest and have people call him back for the replacement when they really need it… and we will!!!

I needed my heat pump repaired and found AMS on Unilocal.
The repairman was very punctual and was able to identify the problem and fix it quickly. The prices were very reasonable based on my internet searches.
He was very straight forward about the problem and the possible solutions — I didn’t feel like he tried to upsell me or feed me some BS.
I’m glad I found AMS.

Few years ago, AMS installed an a/​c system in my home. They were professional, knowledgeable and most of all honest.
I called them again couple of weeks ago. Moshe came over right away and made the unit works in no time.
I will definitely recommend AMS to all my friends and family.
