I got to meet a new technician this time and he was just as polite and wonderful as all the other ones have been. Even had a newbie who probably got to learn quite a bit today

Today a very nice young man named Brady came to our home from John Betlem Heating and Cooling out of Rochester, New York to do maintenance on our new Amana heat pump and furnace.

Had an issue with the heating system during a cold snap, Betlem sent us Tom who was professional, friendly and efficient. Couldn’t have asked for better service! Thank you!
First time homeowner having my first issue with a furnace. I was able to get quick and professional service that resolved my issue quickly and to my satisfaction. My business has been earned and I will continue working with them for both my furnace and AC needs based on the quality and professionalism of support I had today.
No heat at 2100hrs when it's degrees F outside. Had a great, competent tech there in less than two hours who got it done and going, on a 30+ year old furnace. We need a new one and we will be getting it from them.
They’re customer service is very helpful, all of the technicians that have been to my house are very friendly and take the time to explain what they are working on and what my options are.
Courteous, reliable and good communication.
I woke up on 2/11 to find I had no heat. I called John Betlem, and they responded quickly. Tanner arrived within 5 hours to assess the situation. Later that day, Mike from sales came by to walk me through my options for a new furnace. The next morning Jesse and Brad P showed up promptly and got to work. The removed…
Great service!
Andrew and Brady are awesome! They were here on time and were polite, friendly and professional. They explained everything they were doing as they were doing it and patiently answered all of my questions. ☺️
After my yearly maintenance by a John Betlem technician, they reported that a few components were corroding and it would be more cost effective to replace the entire 19yr old furnace than just these parts. Steve Betlem came in a follow up to inspect what furnace would best suit our needs and how else we could…
Our service person ‘Bobby’ was Prompt, friendly, clear, trustworthy.
Bobby was amazing! He troubleshooted the problem I was having with my furnace. He explained everything in layman’s terms so I could understand. He was efficient and thorough with his repairs and cleaning. He took the extra time to make sure everything was working correctly before having me sign off. Highly recommend.
Brady was conscientious, thorough and knowledgeable. He performed my boiler maintenance in a professional manner and provided estimates for installation of components to improve system performance. Quality service typical of Betlem.
Great service and quality work!
