Consumer Comments for Sherman's Heating & Air Conditioning

I went with this company based on the recommendations here and have to say this is the first time I've ever been disappointed. I called to have them install a new HVAC about 6 years ago. They told me over the phone my warranty was good for 5 years. After they installed it and I paid for it they told me they don't provide 5 year warranties or any warranty. After calling and calling they finally agreed to a 1 year warranty. And that's when things started breaking. the temp gauge broke first and had to be replaced. Within a year it broke and caught fire and had to be replaced. The next year water dumped out of unit all over the floor. When I called I found out some plastic port had cracked and had to be replaced. Now, It just stopped working. I've never had this many problems with an HVAC unit in my life. Do use these people. If you do, make sure you get the warranty up front prior to paying.

He was like your maintenance person in the good old days. He wore grungy work clothes, went directly into the furnace and crawled underneath the fan area. In 10 minutes, he diagnosed that problem, ordered the parts, came back hours later and fixed my AC fan on the hottest day of the year. He charged me less that the few estimates I could get over the phone. I later checked that price of the components, and his charges were reasonable, considering all the work he had to do.

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.
