It came to the thermostat the vivant thermostat wasn't working as planed so they put another one in but found out it was 600.00 more so I told the tech that I can't afford the increased…
Did everything they promised. Gave me a good price for a Mitsubishi mini-split system. Installers showed up when scheduled and banged out the job in the timeframe promised. Cleaned up after themselves and went over their work with me thoroughly.
Nazar was prompt and very professional. He diagnosed the issue and made the necessary repairs quickly.
Dom was right on the schedule he communicated once in his way. He listened carefully to my concerns and professionally set about his business checking temps and times. He communicated that he had done some research to understand a curious issue and we talked through it and agreed that made sense. He finished up…

08/25 updates: finally replaced and my AC can work properly now!! 08/18 UPDATE: Over two months since the issue was confirmed, and still no resolution. I requested a full replacement with any brand they carry over a month ago, but they now claim no units of any brands are available. Meanwhile, I can tell from…
Their technicians were great! Respectful of the property and knowledgeable. I appreciate that they provided their protective equipment especially my furnace is upstairs. Shoe covers and they clean up their work area.
Nazar did a great job servicing my heat pump. He took the time explaining the system and made suggestions on how to operate the system more efficiently.
We had essential heating and air install an AC system for us and it’s been great. Their work is thorough and their employees are very kind. We especially appreciate Simon who helped us rebalance the system and was so great to work with!!
The young man, who did the work was very personable and professional. He quickly diagnosed and corrected the problem and the price was reasonable.
I will recommend you guys 💓
Ty was excellent. Easily the best HVAC maintenance technician I’ve had. He recently completed maintenance on our furnace, heat pump, and mini split, and did a great job across the board. He was efficient, clearly knew what he was doing, and took the time to explain everything without rushing. He is a real standout…

Excellent and very knowledgeable person Andrew had came to my home today. Did a wonderful job explaining everything and setting the temperatures to a comfort level.

While they were shorthanded, they managed to get an awful lot done. They will be back on Monday to finish the installation of my new heat pump. Woo hoo!
They came over to adjust my system with these hot days. We’ve been having in June already to wear it. It’s running more efficiently the system they installed first of this year.
Ty, was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional, pleasant, beautiful smile.
Ty is great very professional and have all the knowledge doing his job.
Had a technician come in and tell us how to clean one of our filters so that we won’t have any future problems. He was very nice and good at explaining what was wrong in practical terms. I think he is going to adopt one of my kittens which should add a 6 star.
Kenny was very professional, kind, and respectful. He had great communication the whole time and kept me in the loop of all steps so I could manage my puppy’s needs around his work space needs. He was calm, thorough, and made sure he was all cleaned up and the gate was secured upon departure. On a side note, the…
