Consumer Comments for Michael & Son Services

This company was able to resolve my heating & cooling issues, plus put in a new circuit breaker for my new furnace.

I would use caution when dealing with them. They're professional but pricey. I asked for a minor repair to see why there was a problem why my furnace blower motor wouldn't cut off. They made no attempt to fix it, and instead sent me an estimator to sell me a new unit and an expensive electric upgrade, desirable but not needed. I got another opinion from a professional friend and he got me to replace the blower motor capacitor, which cost 8 bucks. Seems to have fixed the problem for now. That's better than almost $18000 I would have spent. Unfortunately, just about every contractor will attempt to squeeze every penny they can get out of you, as that's what their management makes them do.

They are very prompt call before arrival. Will tell you of any delays easy to reschedule.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

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.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

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.
