HISTORY
Established in 1979.
Hammond Services was established in 1979 by Ed and Barbara Hammond in the town of Griffin, GA. Ed retired from the Air Force and started the company after graduating from Griffin Technical College in the fields of HVAC and Electrical. It started out being a very small business, with just two employees - Ed and Barbara. It didn't take long for word-of-mouth to spread about their excellent service, and the number of employees grew. Jeff Snow, a HVAC technician, was the first employee they hired. Jeff is also still employed at Hammond. In 1989, Wayne Hughes joined Hammond and they added plumbing service to the existing HVAC and Electrical offerings. In 1994, David Hammond (Ed and Barbara's son) joined the business. David received his engineering degree in 1982 and worked 12 years for a major corporation before joining Hammond. Ed and Barbara retired in 1998 and David became company President.

Complete RIP OFF! They charge you $95 dollars just to come out there and then for replacing a gas leak they charged me $400 dollars which they were supposed to text me and they didn't. NEVER AGAIN THESE PEOPLE WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!!
Crooked, criminal, dishonest, and untrustworthy is how I would describe this business. Called to check my upstairs unit out and the technician(more like salesman) diagnosed a bad compressor on my unit. He tells me it's a better option to just buy a new unit. I go with the repair and spent $3000. Same exact issue the very next year so I decided to call a different company to repair. He spends all of 5 minutes and finds a rusted coil and fixes the issue for $350. Update: 2 years later and I've had no issues after dealing with a new company.
Had Brandon, one of Scott's employee's show up and he was respectful, courteous, honest, and very helpful. Explained everything to me and even took the time to show me how to clean it.
I thought this was going to be a bad day as I was not sure what happened as it quit working, my wife and I looked up on a local neighborhood site and got a great recommendation for them---called and could not be happier---
Thank you all!

Well expensive for a simple in line valve replacement. (550 bucks). I resolved to doing it myself. Trip to Home Depot, 10 min and 40 bucks later all is well.

I don't know why we even call Hammond now.
Hammond used to be our first choice and we used them multiple times, but they are a joke now. The quote just sent, no details, twice the price of the two other bids we got. We had to call four times got a response. Last time, your tech treated my wife as if she were stupid. Same thing we got 18 months ago when we replaced the full furnace.
Nice work with the click farm reviews too. 17000+ great reviews for a local HVAC company, yeah, that's not suspicious at all.
Don't worry, we won't be calling again.
I had a very good experience. I just called them again for an A/C ducting issue and they gave me a very fair quote. And why did I call them back even though they were about 10% higher than other companies for a complete install on another house???
They did it right the first time.

Astoundingly expensive. Had them out to look at a intermittent problem on one furnace and do a yearly service. The following ensued:
1. Wanted more than the agreed on price for the service. The online rep said it would be $49 for each furnace. The tech said that probably was only for the first one...
2. Wanted to replace a capacitor for $105. It was not needed and if needed the part would cost $2.50. When I asked about it he just smiled and confirmed it.
3. Wanted to replace control board on one furnace cost $600. Two minute repair if needed at $200 for parts. $400 markup?
4. Wanted to replace draft blower at $600. Another quick repair with parts cost of $82.
$500 markup?
Your mileage may vary but for now I will do my own simple repairs.
Also tried to sell me three time a year cleaning and inspections with a 10%! discount on repairs. I don't think so.
Highly recommended to check for alternative solutions and get bids on any service before it is performed.
