Consumer Comments for R A Dobson

Consumer from GREAT FALLS, VA

RA Dobson had done a fine job maintaining our natural gas generator, so when another firm refused to repair an A/C system they installed, I called Dobson. They did an excellent job replacing the entire system, which works better than the old system. They will be doing our H&AC maintenance.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

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.
