Barron's Heating & Air Conditioning

Based on excellent reviews for this business on Kudzu, I scheduled an AC tune-up appointment with Barron's. David and Raymund showed up and started work on internal and external units. Here is what they didn't do
- Barron's tune-up doesn't include new filter for the air-handler. They replaced filter with my spare filter
- Their tune-up doesn't include any unit clean up such as washing outdoor coil.
- Their tune-up doesn't include coil inspection. My AC's outdoor coil was not inspected.
- they don't read Amps on outdoor unit
- they don't measure temperature of cool air at the supply vents.

What they do is
- kind of visual inspection but not everything.
- read Freon charge. if they read Freon charge low be careful with the price. They'll tell you price for per pound not an estimated cost based on what they read from the gauge. I was charged $180 for 6 pounds Freon which only costs $6-$8 per pound. And since I was told only per pound price I just thought that my unit needs around 1 pound Freon charge. If I was told my unit may require 2-3 pounds Freon I wouldn't accept this service for an AC system which is been suspected with freon leak.
And don't tell them you think about new system otherwise your tune-up will turn out a sales call.
I don't understand how come this type of business would be appreciated that much on Kudzu.
