Daniel was great! He explained everything thoroughly, was on time and on schedule, and consciousness of my home. We are extremely happy with our new heat pump! Christian was also amazing and helped guide us through our options and provided all the information we asked for and more! Thank you for your excellent service!
Great price. Mine was a big job from 8am to 11pm out with one heavy oil burning furnace and a really old heat pump in New York heat pump and New York electric furnace. It pulled new wire for the power to the new furnace. They really covered it with a lot of guys at one time there was five guys there working looks good.
They came early and got to work. Added wiring to my electric panel and new breakers, put in a new heat pump which really looks great, took out the old furnace and put in a new one and they made sure everything was working properly and then they showed me how to operate the system. I was very impressed with the job…
Kevin was an exceptional sales rep. Knowledgeable, responsive, respectful. The crew did a great job on a new furnace and hot water heater, heat pump install, old ducting replacement, and electrical panel upgrade. Very happy, highly recommend.
Dan, Omar, and Zane. Spent the entire day replacing our old furnace and installing ac. They were respectful of our home and property. It has been a great experience starting with Taylor the salesman to the great installers. We highly recommend them and Essential Heating.
I was on vacation during the month of the Heat Pump and Furnace installation, so I had plenty of time to do research, get quotes, and analyze what HVAC companies had to offer. By far, Essential Heating & Air was better in every area I cared about; the cost, timeline, brand, guarantees, and maintenance program were…
We were highly impressed by all aspects of how Essential Heating and Air. They were good communicators and performed all tasks in a professional manner.
These guys were spot on, quick with their responses and installation. They are great guys and I would recommend these guys to anyone! Talk about knowledgeable and pleasurable people, well these folks were always so professional, patient, and lots of fun. I hope that anyone considering an upgrade or replacement…
Essential Heating /Air was definitely the best choice for us. We met Ryan to discuss our needs. Ryan provided us with some great options. The install team was scheduled the next day, they were on time and did a great job getting the new system installed. The next day Cameron , the service tech from Essential…
They were amazing. They cared about what I wanted. They explained everything as they worked on my house. They were very fast and efficient. They got done a day earlier. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a great experience with them. I would definitely recommend them.
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…
Very fast turnaround on installation. It does take an entire day to install. They prompt and very respectful of our space.Reasonable price. Thank you!
The outside shutoff switch for my new AC/Heat pump is arcing. 12 hours after the install was finished, the AC stopped blowing cold air. I called immediately (Thursday) after I discovered the arcing and popping sounds so I could get an emergency repair and they said Tuesday is the earliest appointment. (Edit): the…
Thank you for completing the job as promised, and working with our old home from 1930 to make it more comfortable for my daughter with a rare diagnosis that can’t regulate her body temperature it was essential (pun intended) that we have a heating and cooling system. They explained everything, and when the guys…
Awesome install. Very fun crew We enjoyed the entire experience are so happy with our new system
The wife and I love the new system. Heat when you want it and cool when you want it. The guy's that installed it were fantastic and answered all my questions I put to them. They were fast and thorough and didn't leave a mess. I would definitely recommend Essential Heating and Air for an HVAC installation, you won't be sorry.
Simon came out and fixed our AC . It has not ran right since the install. All of the technicians have been awesome! But I think Simon got it adjusted right!
Great company to work with. The project manager/estimator was very honest and kept to the agreement of all services offered. One thing I liked was they offered to beat any competitors' price and they had next day installation.
David, the sales guy who came out and gave us an estimate is awesome. Truly a great guy. Polite, knowledgeable, respectful. The guys who installed the furnace and heat pump did an incredible job, they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately the customer service from their office staff is…
Friendly and professional. Quick install and great clean up. Thank you Essential Team!!
