Darin did a great job.... very friendly and professional.
I absolutely love the team at Central Heating and Air! From the office staff to the technicians doing the service and maintenance calls, they are all the very best! Friendly, professional and so great at getting the job done well! I have recommended this company to friends and they all feel the same! Good job Central Heating and Air!
Tyler gave us notice he was on his way and showed up on time. He was doing a winter check and was organized and efficient. No issues and we are ready for winter in Montana.
Central Heating provides outstanding service and backs up the equipment they install and service. During this February 2021 polar vortex heat wave, Dan J clambered on to our roof late at night to clear ice that had built up in the furnace stack, which caused the closed high efficiency Lennox HVAC system which…
Always enjoy Darren! Explains everything, very professional!
awesome as usual
Brett was professionally friendly, capable and efficient during the service call. He communicated clearly what needed to be done, time frame and anticipated costs.
I came home from an errand & found the ac wasn't blowing cool air. It was set at 76 degrees & the temp in the house was 80. This happened at 4:30 pm so when I called, they put me on the list to call in the morning. Initially, I was told someone would be at my house between 3-4 pm but Tyler called me early that…
Thorough, well-explained work.
Trent was a joy to work with. He was very professional. He inspected our furnace and air conditioning unit and listed everything he recommended on his estimate. The installers Lenny and Brock were quick and left the area clean when they finished. Trent came back after they were done and checked their work. I…
Darren was prompt, polite, very informative and efficient. Was honest with his evaluation and very professional.

Darren, Was on time polite, courteous and professional
Servicemen were punctual and very efficient.
I APPRECIATED HOW QUICKLY THEY CAME TO FIX THE PROBLEM
Darin is always on time, knowledgeable and professional.
I can't remember how long I've been using Central heating, but it was before they had that name. I have never been disappointed. I have looked around at others, but I always decide to stay with Central. Nothing has changed since my last review, I'm still very happy with Central heating.
Quick and efficient.
Very informative and gave me great advice for future service.
Can't find anyone better to do a perfect job. Thank you so much.
always super responsive and quick and friendly with the service when I need it
Trent was really helpful and gave us the best bid and service, thank you!!!!!
Complete HVAC replacement/ upgrade. Highly recommend this company. The guys were great in every way.
Dan was very professional. It took him only a few minutes to find and fix the problem. Now, my air conditioner is no longer leaking and dripping from my unit to the unit below me. I appreciate all Dan did
The technician told us our ancient AC was toast and needed to be totally replaced. His estimate of the replacement cost was 1/3 of what it is actually going to cost!
We've always been impressed with Central's quick response, professionalism, and quality work.
Quick, professional and quality service from the telephone call to the actual service visit. Tyler is polite and very knowledgeable. He even showed me the problem! Signed up with Central Heating's maintenance program because of this visit!
Excellent sales assistance from Trent Super installation from Brent and Brock Friendly and efficient staff Would highly recommend

Darren did great and was very quick to assist with the issue. He showed up early and answered any questions I had.
My service tech was wonderful efficient explained every detail. Would highly recommend this company and this technician!!!
Replaced filter and winter maintenance. Very prompt and curious.
A bit more expensive than we thought. We are going to get a few more bids.
I called because my furnace was making a loud noise. I didn’t think I would get anyone out today. To my surprise a tech was able to come out right away. Tyler was even early for the appointment & very friendly.
Tyler showed up right on time and got everything fixed quickly! I really appreciate central heating and air being so quick, especially on the hot days! Thanks again! 👏
Experienced and professional techs with friendly attitude. Everything you'd expect for a great billings based business with decades serving the area. The work was clean and attention paid to every detail. Would recommend to anyone as the first choice for HVAC!
Darren was very helpful and knowledgeable about our air conditioner problems
Work on our A/C system was completed by Darren. He is courteous and professional, and did a fine job. Much appreciated.
Great company, fast appointment
My air conditioner was not working and since it is an older unit I was fearing the worst. Tyler came and it turns out that the company that recently installed a new thermostat had not wired it properly. Quick fix. Appreciate his professionalism. Great to work with and will use for any future needs. Highly recommend!!
Dan was here on time and did a diagnostic on our central air. Friendly, efficient and helpful
Always professional.
Great service! Explained everything well and only suggested the necessary repairs needed for us at the time.
On time and very helpful. Located the problem promptly and provided all solutions. As a homeowner who enjoys DYI projects, it was nice to have those options as well instead of a sales men.
We called into Central Heating to check out an old a/c unit on a house we just bought. Technician was on time and helpful for the task at hand, but seemed to know just enough to charge as much as possible at every turn. We were quoted $168 to check heating and cooling systems, but the guy told us there was an extra…
Always professional and on time.
I’ve called Central Heating for over 15 yrs and have received the very best service - polite, on time, they talk with me, excellent work and I always tell them of my thanks and appreciation. Elizabeth Barrett, Billings, MT
Very knowledgeable and took extra time and effort to make sure everything was working perfectly! Super nice and professional.
Darren was very professional. Explain everything in detail and the went over the invoice with me. Thank you for everything
Great job. Very prompt and professional!
The work was very good and they did everything they said they would. Very professional and hard workers
Great customer service!!!
I tend to ask a bunch of questions. The technician was professional and polite in answering them. Very satisfied with the provided service.
Expensive but their guys are good and they have pretty top notch equipment which probably makes for better and quicker repairs.
Dan was exactly on time (acually a little early). He immediately went to work. He paid close attention to the various checks and adjustments of my system. Top notch work. I am ready for winter. Thank you, Dan!
Within 3 hours of calling for appointment my ac was fixed.
