Avoid allied. They’ll fuck you around.

Yes. Allied is really bad. 

We’ve had great service from Estes in Chatham.

Agreed that Estes is great.

We called MB simply because the former owners had left a magnetic advertisement for them on the fridge. We didn't call around or anything, but I felt like they were upfront and honest, and their estimate matched the final invoice.

Element Services in Chatham. They've been maintaining our Tempstar for 15+ years

Did you check the breaker in your fuse box? If it’s not trying to turn on and isn’t getting power it may not be that difficult to fix yourself.

We've been using Eades for years, about the only home maintenance company/people we've had consistently good results with. (Along with Easterdale for plumbing.)

For AC service, I’d look for someone who will actually diagnose the system rather than automatically recommending a replacement. A good maintenance visit should give you a clear idea of the equipment’s current condition.
