I had a similar experience to the ones listed before. The company modified and installed five AC unit when I renovated a while back after being brought into the mix by my architect. After about 20 months, four of five AC units were dead. A repairman charged me almost $800 to confirm that they were broken and bring the four units back to their shop. Then I was quoted $2,500 to repair or $3,600 to replace, and it would take three weeks to get the parts from Frigidaire for the repair (when I pointed out that the parts were avai... read more

They are completely non-responsive! They don't show up for service when they make an appointment and you can never get anyone on the phone it is outrageous! Somehow they managed to be there and take the call so I could spend thousands on the unit. Now...nowhere to be found. Horrible and offensive.

After using Stanley Ruth for over 40 years we heard there had been a change in ownership. This shows, because they used to be great. They have doubled their prices yet provide nothing above what the other companies do in terms of service and warranty (despite their claims). They charged $236 to simply take the units, yet couldn't provide me a quote at the time. When the quote finally came days later after me calling them, they were charging over $700 per unit to fix, and over $900 for each new unit. The new unit quote was al... read more

I bought this heating and airconditioning five years ago and it has been a constant hassle and a constant expense to keep it heating in the winter and cooling in the summer and the issues are magnfied by the general incompetence of the people who serivce it on behalf of Stanley Ruth. It often take three or four service calls to get someone in who can fix the problem. For example I had to call them three times (after each call the service person said the issue was solved but it wasn't) in order to get the air conditioner fixe... read more

Stanley Ruth-- what a joke. Don't let their website mislead you when they say they offer "quality installation" and "rapid and orderly completion." I have been without air conditioning for over a week. It is smack in the middle of the hottest summers we have experienced so far and I am sweating in my studio apartment due to their stupidity. I had a through the window AC installation a few months ago when my window was redone- they gave me a "brand new" AC. Definitely not. After it starts blowing HOT air, I call them up to ma... read more

We hired Stanley Ruth to install in-wall air conditioner heater combined units in our apartment on the upper west side. We went with top of the line McQuay temperature control units, and spent over $20,000 on five units, including eqt and installation. It took Stanley Ruth several tries to get them installed and working, and the covers they installed never quite fit right. You have to push the whole metal cover just to get to the control panels. The unit in our nursery wasn't working; it took weeks to get them to fix it. ... read more
