Brandon W was very thorough, sought out the problem, and then replaced the outside spigot at our request.

He’s a great guy and does a…

Always have a good experience with Howald for the last 11 years. They're quick and efficient, and Greg Kessler, our most recent service person, was highly personable and knowledgeable.

Brandon was very helpful, personable and professional. We highly recommend Howald for all HVAC and plumbing needs.
I’ve used Howald HVAC and plumbing for 50+ years and they have been great.
James was friendly, efficient, assessed the issue quickly, replaced the part, and was on his way. He even hosed down the air conditioner before leaving.
We are very pleased with the service we always receive from Howald and from Larry Wright and Mike Patterson! They are a trusted resource for our family! Thank you very much!!
Dan was fantastic and the entire Howald team was so helpful in the process. Highly Recommend!
Howald’s has been taking care of my furnace/air conditioner and plumbing for around 10 years. They are great and I love their work ethic and friendly professionalism!! Thanks everyone!!!
Larry W. came in to troubleshoot a water issue in the crawlspace from the ducts. Turned out to be a clogged drain that he took care of quickly and efficiently. I really enjoyed my conversation with Larry and appreciate his hard work. As always, Howald does not disappoint - and they are reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong with Howald!
The staff is always friendly and incredibly professional. Always a good experience
Service included a replacement part which Larry Wright identified, ordered and installed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this company to others.
