2:30 on a Friday and finally decided that our AC wasn’t working. I called their office an hour and a half before closing and they said they would see what they could do. In less than half an hour they were here and got it running. So very easy to work with and so appreciative of their concern to get us cool before the hotter weather coming. Polite, efficient and pleasant to work with. Thank you, thank you.

Out of nowhere, on the hottest few days of the year, our central air conditioning system decided to stop working (of course). I called every single HVAC company in the area. No one had an available appointment for one to two weeks. This place had a cancellation for this afternoon and got to us right away. For an amazingly low price, they had us fixed up within 45 minutes. It felt so good to walk into a cool house after work today.
Hibbing Heating and AC will always be my first call, from now on, for any future issues. Awesome job, gentlemen!!

I Can not speak for other services they offer but If you have a clog or improper draining of waistlines and fixtures, I Highly recommend this company. Respectful and Professional.
Discovered non flushable objects stuck in multiple toilets that needed camera and snake to dislodge. (Consumer grade snake $40 was previously used and the not known about objects did not come out but were merely pushed to side allowing snake through not resolving the issues.)
Please continue the professionalism and great service it is sadly rare these days especially in our area. Thank you.

Highly recommend Hibbing Heating & AC 💙 Shawn and crew are amazing!! Helped me 3 times this past year. coming home to cold house this past winter, had someone there asap, come home to a leaky water heater, replaced in 2 days, and then my heater went out again for different issue and he was there the next day. Very reasonable pricing, prompt service, and very very nice employees from the front desk to the service guys!!
Response from the owner · a year ago
