Shout out to Dan for finding cracked heat exchanges that were missed by another company. After the furnace was unfit/dangerous Charlie was able to get Rafael and Travis out the next day. System passed inspection from the city no problem!
Thorough and professional! Please send Kenny for our future work! He tuned up our heater and gave us pictures and a full explanation on status of our heater. We felt very comfortable having him in our home. He was very knowledgeable!
Eric was great. On time, 😯 crawled under house thru tiny hole. Explain situation well, very helpful and was never in a hurry.
Brady Niswonger, a Cornel's Technician, recently came to our home for A/C maintenance. He provided excellent service (with visual aids), addressed all questions, and was most thorough and congenial. . . complete with a great attitude and outlook. Brady really seems to enjoy his work . . . how refreshing! We hope…
Great service from Kenny and Dustin. Fast, efficient, professional and nice. Highly recommend.
Had them do a Furnace and A/C tuneup. Kenny was on time, professional, and very helpful when it came to explaining what was found and how best to deal with and prioritize issues. Very happy with the service.
Nothing short of outstanding service. Kenny communicated, explained and updated every step of the way. And when he was done he gave us a thorough recap and politely explained options on future service and possible upgrades to our current system. Kenny was a complete professional … knowledgeable and personable.
Kenny absolutely 100 % satisfaction …
Ken serviced our two furnaces and air conditioners. We found him to be thorough, honest and professional. He provided details on all systems and recommendations for repairs.
We had Cornel Plumbing, Heating, and AC service our AC and furnace after we moved in. Our technician, Kenny, was great! Awesome service, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommend!
Great experience with Cornel's! Nikki in the office was great getting me scheduled at a time and day that fit my busy schedule. Brenden was great taking care of my broken water heater, including installing a new one when we realized that's what I needed; staying late to get it installed same day. And Dan was great…
Kim came by for a AC tuneup and inspection today and blew me away with how helpful and knowledgeable he was! Polite, personable, respectful, and even the cat loved him. Thanks to Kim, his insights, and all his advice, Cornel’s has earned our business for a long time to come. Can’t recommend this company, or Kim, enough!
I rarely write reviews, but Cornell has truly earned this one. From the moment I contacted the company, every interaction reflected outstanding customer service. Brady, the technician, took the time to listen carefully to what I wanted to accomplish instead of trying to sell me a predetermined solution. The…
Kim H. recently serviced our AC unit and furnace, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Kim took the time to carefully inspect everything, identify the issues, and explain his recommendations clearly without any pressure. We especially…
Arturo was right on time and was quite thorough in his evaluation of my old HVAC system. He went through everything methodically and explained all the things I might have coming up. The price was especially reasonable. Set up an appointment for options with regard to replacement. Felt no pressure at all to select anything. Highly recommended.
Eric was great, honest and straightforward. I will be using Cornell’s going forward for all my plumbing needs.
Eric was quick, courteous and super helpful. Will keep them on speed dial for any plumbing or HVAC issues!
I scheduled Cornell Heating & Cooling for their $89 tune-up special for each furnace, hoping it would be a good way to evaluate a company we might want to work with long term. Unfortunately, the experience left us feeling disappointed and uneasy. During the tune-up, the technician pointed out corrosion on one of…
Woke up with cold water and ended up with a blessing! Brendan called ahead, was super respectful of our property, explained our gas water heater and how to make simple fixes our selves since this is new for our family. He showed us how to quickly view the flame and where to feel for hot water in the pipe. He…
What an awesome company. Their customer service game is on point, My tech Nathan really went above and beyond to make sure that I understood the value I was getting of service, Took time to not just explain the current state of the equipment, but to show me the defects and things I can do too keep it running as long…
