Terry, Mike, and his team were a pleasure to work with. Compared to other estimators, Terry really took his time in assessing our situation and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process, really putting customer service first and foremost. What other estimators took for granted to be the Return vent turned out to be a non-functioning vent. Our actual return vent was in a completely different room and tiny! Terry didn’t just assume it was the return vent based on the grill like others did (the previous owners did some shoddy work to say the least). He grabbed a receipt and tested the vents out to make sure he knew what he was looking at. He then made a plan to expand our return pipe's diameter and increase the size of the vents/grills for the return since this was putting a lot of pressure on our system. After figuring out what we wanted, Terry also gave us choices between two efficient furnaces, explaining the differences between the two and helping us make an educated decision which led to us getting a higher efficiency furnace at a lower cost than other options. He also lowered our quote without being prompted when he realized our addition didn't factor into the square footage that the HVAC would be covering after looking at our particular vent system and determining that we weren't willing to tear out our dry wall to adjust - all communicated very well throughout. Lastly, we appreciated how he really listened to our needs and helped guide us towards a system that was quieter since the furnace is in the same room as our recording studio. We really appreciated him being so thoughtful. Would definitely recommend!

Provide good service but believe they are expensive

Chris Erdle has been honest with us about the maintenance we have needed on the water heater, furnace and air conditioners. Most of our needs have been replacing old systems and the yearly maintenance required to make sure we do not have issues during the depths of summer or winter. Chris is on time and very responsible.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs to heating or air-conditioning equipment, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
