We know you’ve seen them before; we have too! That’s right, a family of penguins traveling around St. Louis. No I’m not talking about penguins crossing the street or the penguins at the St. Louis Zoo; I’m talking about the Classic Aire Care vans!
Classic Aire Care’s van with the family of penguins is easily one of the most recognizable vehicles in St. Louis. With over 60 vans and trucks on all of St. Louis’ highways, the brightly colored orange and yellow vehicles are hard to miss. From all angles, our penguins are displayed proudly.
In addition to the penguins, our vans display the names of our legacy companies. Our family of companies include Ryan Heating, Donahue Heating and Air Conditioning, Schneider Services and South County Heating and Air Conditioning, now all part of the Classic Aire Care family. The orange and yellow as well as the penguin family are important to show our customers that our company operates under one umbrella and one management team.
Other than just being a cute mother penguin and her two babies, this penguin family is one of the first things any other driver sees and speaks volumes as to what Classic Aire Care is all about; family.
Just like the family of penguins, Classic Aire Care is a locally owned, family owned company. We choose to operate our business under the values in which we feel any family should operate; with trust, honesty, respect and communication. As a Classic Aire Care customer, we hope you’ll feel like a part of our family as well.
In addition to family, the Classic Aire Care penguins represent the level of service we hope to give every one of our customers. Most of the 17 penguin species thrive in cool climates. Although some are comfortable in temperatures warmer than Antarctica, all penguins rely on certain conditions to keep them comfortable. Just like penguins, we are most comfortable when our home’s temperatures and conditions are just right. Making sure your home remains comfortable is exactly our job!
Over the years, Classic Aire Care has asked our customers “How did you hear about us?” A surprising number of people see the Classic Aire Care penguin trucks and decide to call us for all their furnace, air conditioning and plumbing needs. Once they try us, they see why there are so many Classic Aire Care vans on the road. In the drivers’ seat of every van is a top-notch service technician, HVAC installer, plumber, drain technician or indoor air quality specialist that is on their way to make someone else more comfortable. We hope as a Classic Aire Care customer, seeing the penguin trucks and vans on the road brings you comfort and peace of mind that no matter what time of day, a Classic Aire Care service technician is in your area and just a phone call away. Now, we have to ask, how did YOU hear about us?
Technicians arrived on site promptly at the time they said they would. Very professional and got to work removing the old unit and gave updates on what they were doing and timetable to finish. Salesman was informative of the options available and informed of warranty and followed up to any questions in timely manner.

Our air handler randomly stopped turning it on. I called Monday afternoon to get someone out to take a look at it. I was told they’d be out by 7pm, and they were.
When I spoke to the lady on the phone, she assured me the tech shows up with a fully stocked van to fix the issues.
Patrick O. showed up. Very dry and mono toned when speaking. However, he did just drive from St. Louis to our house which was 45 minutes away so figured he was probably a little annoyed. He looked at our unit and told us the blower motor and the capacitor are dead and we would need new ones. Quotes us at $1312 but they would have to schedule to come out and fix it. So much for a fully stocked van. So we scheduled for 10am the next day. We paid $119 for a diagnoses.
We decided to have a second opinion this morning. The second opinion said that the blower motor is fine. But the control board is fried. Showed me where there’s a burn mark on it showing where it fried at.
So I called classic Aire to let them know that their tech was completely wrong and I’d like my diagnostic fee back. Also asked to speak to a manager. APPARENTLY, their managers don’t take phone calls. In fact, they read the complaints and send them to a different department to handle their dirty work.
I would not recommend this business to anyone that wants a correct diagnosis and good customer service because they lack both.
I only gave one star because they got half of the diagnosis correct.

I recently had my furnace and air conditioner replaced. It was 26 years old. While performing the preventative maintenance, it was discovered that there was rust in the interior of the furnace that was progressively getting worse. The service tech asked if I wanted a salesperson to contact me. I said yes and when he called the office, Stan Calvert was available within the hour. Stan explained all the options and pricing with no pressure. The system was installed five days later. Francis, Jermaine, and Jerry were so friendly and professional. They didn't mind that I hung out with them while they did the installation. I asked questions along the process. They explained everything without talking down to me (which I appreciated). They had everything installed and completely cleaned up about 8 hours. I am extremely happy with everything: the sales, the service, the installation, the price!! I would definitely recommend Classic Aire to anyone.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Mike, our project manager, went above and beyond to get us immediate service and a great deal. The technicians, Frank and Zachary, who installed our HVAC were awesome—professional, hardworking and efficient. We truly appreciate everyone’s effort and would highly recommend them!

Ripoff.
To do a simple charge of refrigerant they wanted $300+ per pound with no fractional weights, 2 oz over they charge you for the bext pound.
Then they wanted to send someone out to quote a complete new system.
Sent the guy packing and bought a tank of Freon for $224 for 30 lbs, did it myself and have 28 lbs leftover!
