Howald has serviced my AC/Furnace for 23+ years and I wouldn't use any other company. All service team, especially David B., are on time, expertly trained, explain/always answering questions, consistent, precise and conscience of being in someone's home(wear foot covers). THANK YOU!

I’ve used Howald HVAC and plumbing for 50+ years and they have been great.
I love Howald. They do a professional job and take good care of their customers.
I called at 3:00 PM on a Friday to report that our thermostat was not functioning. I was hoping for a Monday appointment but was told Howald could have someone out that day. David arrived about 4:00. Not only did he repair the stat, but he also performed the annual service on our AC system while he was here. Great experience.
Their man Larry is a good guy. Responsive, polite, answers all of our concerns. Got my thermostat working again.
Our heating system was not working. Larry found a blown fuse. Might have been related to Nest thermostat. Larry was very helpful troubleshooting the issue on the phone and determined the need for the visit. He was courteous, friendly and efficient. Appreciate the service very much.
