The install team for my new furnace was excellent, answered all my questions, kept me informed on the progress of the install. Very professional, thorough and quality minded in their interactions - the clean up was outstanding!
The sales and installation process was as convenient and pleasant as we hoped it would be. The folks involved were inquisitive, understanding, thorough and non-pressuring. Jess and the installation crew were on the job and didn't stop till it was fully completed. There were many man hours involved. No regrets at all…
Called on Saturday, salesmen reached out and hooked me up with a decent price. Came out Sunday and sent pictures to the installation team, and then Monday had a new HVAC unit installed. Talk about immediate service. I have had friends also utilize them, and they say the same things. Was very informative and answered…
Ben was very nice and informative. Showed me a crack that could lead to carbon monoxide leakage. We will be getting a new furnace
They did fantastic job, and when they were finished the area was cleaned.

The installation team (Boaz, McAllister and Brandon were excellent! They worked efficiently, professionally and answered all our questions.
We had a furnace inspection by Amber who identified a cracked heat exchanger in our old furnace. 4 days later Shamus and crew had a new one installed. Our contacts with ALL of the Betlem folks during this process were prompt, competent and very friendly! Couldn't ask for more!!!
Very professional.
Hunter was great.He did a fantastic job and was great to talk to.He was a pleasure to have work in my home.
I just can’t say enough about the kindness, friendliness, professionalism, camaraderie, understanding about giving my dog a “potty break”, and willingness to teach that these men brought to my home today for my HVAC installation. Everyone spoke so highly and respectfully about “John Betlam Heating and Cooling! And…

The install team couldn't have been more professional, friendly and efficient. Our new HVAC system was installed in a highly competent manner.

Great installation team and prompt and courteous service
Great experience with Mike in sales. Very responsive. Ryan and his team did an awesome install job. Would give 5 stars except had to wait a week for heat pump as the 1st one was damaged. But it’s all good!
The crew of 3 that was sent to install my new furnace were professional, polite, and kept me in the loop for the whole process. My salesperson, Mike, was also very informative and great to work with! Thanks!

Nick and Cody and team installed a new water heater, A/C, and furnace. They were all very professional and polite. They tested the system, explained everything to me, and answered all of my questions. And they cleaned up everything, including vacuuming the carpet - which just had a very minor amount of debris from…
Perfection!
Had furnace and AC replaced
The Betlem team is unmatched! I am a pretty stubborn buyer when it comes to large capital improvements for my home. I asked a TON of questions, and Justin was attentive, responsive, and honest with me about my needs. After deciding on a new Lennox 4 ton AC unit and 90%er furnace, the install happened within 1 week…
Timely, professional and capable service at a reasonable price. Thorough cleanup after the work accomplished.
The whole experience was very professional and as painless as a full boiler replacement could be. I thought the price was fair for the job. Andrew and Nick did a very tidy job of installing and commissioning the new system.
The company is very attentive, all employees I've been in contact with are caring & efficient. Great quality products & reasonable annual maintenance costs. I have had John Betlem H&C do several jobs, the most recent 8/21/26. Each time I have had the same great experience!
Max, Charles and Cody (Bradley too) made a great team and worked professionally all day. This was a total system replacement and new install of central AC. I had many questions as they proceeded with their work and I was encouraged by their responses that they truly appreciated sharing their tips/advice and knowledge with me.
The team did a great job installing a furnace and A/C unit. Worked quickly, neatly and left the area very clean once they were complete. They were very helpful and allowed me ask all sorts of questions and be nosey and watch them work. Additionally, were great to return to properly decomission old boiler.
Brandon and oniel where so nice, I called Saturday, checked it out Monday and had it installed by Tuesday!
Great company! I've used them twice for an AC unit, Furnace, and heat pump hot water heater! Great staff, super friendly and professional installers!

Had a fantastic experience with John Betlem Heating & Cooling for a full HVAC replacement.
