John Betlem was amazing. Max, Jim, Charles and Don were extremely professional and very knowledgeable. They removed the old furnace and installed a new one with central air. Five Star Service.
Techs arrived and completed both furnace and air conditioner installations thoroughly and efficiently, with no disruption to our home. Everyone was knowledgable, super friendly, and made sure we had no questions or concerns before they left. It was a great experience from the initial contact for a quote to the…
Shamus, Brandon, Ryan, and Tyler did a wonderful job removing the old and installing our new HVAC system. They were friendly, tolerant of our dogs, and did a fantastic job. The area was cleaned and all old stuff taken with them. Shamus was great in explaining the new thermostat, as well as the new system and…
He confirmed what was to be completed on the job. Hw went over the paperwork and operation of the new thermostat.
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…
Ben was very nice and informative. Showed me a crack that could lead to carbon monoxide leakage. We will be getting a new furnace
We had an issue with our furnace not turning on and we were able to schedule an appointment right away, even on a holiday. Our technician John C was super friendly, communicated clearly, and efficiently solved our issue. Would highly recommend! Update: This year, we had a new hvac system installed. Mike was able to…

Great job by you and yor crewThanks again Leo
Great team and great service from start to finish.
The installation team (Boaz, McAllister and Brandon were excellent! They worked efficiently, professionally and answered all our questions.
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…
Excellent service. Fair Pricing. Tom (sales), Brandon, Kevin, Cayden, Akiel (installation) were all professional, knowledgeable and on-time.
The install team couldn't have been more professional, friendly and efficient. Our new HVAC system was installed in a highly competent manner.
I have used John Betlem for 15 years. They installed and maintained my HVAC and AC. I have had nothing but positive experiences with their staff. All the installation and repair and maintenance staff have been top notch. Recently my technician has been Brady Sylvia. He was careful and thorough as well as…
Great installation team and prompt and courteous service
Great experience and everything works perfectly! Thank you, great job!
Jim, Brandon and Daniel did an excellent job installing our new air conditioner and furnace. Prompt, polite, job site clean when they left. I was provided a great explanation of all that was done that day and what was included with our purchase.
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!
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.
John Betlem did a great job installing a new air conditioning unit - I was impressed with the ductwork Shawn installed and the craftsmanship in retrofitting the new unit with the existing ductwork- it really looks great - also my salesperson Sefik did a great job of explaining the the work that was to be done and…
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.
They were able to come out fairly quickly and replace my dead AC during a heat wave. Cost was comparable to the other local quote we got. Technicians were very friendly and explained everything. I know nothing about HVAC so can’t judge the quality of their work - but I hope it’s good 🤣 I brought them back out to…

Mac was great! He walked me through what was going to happen during the install. The techs were polite and everyone seemed to be looking for opportunities to do things right. They were respectful of the house and cleaned up everything afterward. I was very happy with the instal team.
John Betlem installed a new furnace and air conditioning unit in our home. Every employee was professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of us and our home. There is simply no other heating and cooling company that compares to John Betlem.
I want to thank Dave and his crew for all the work that they did for my family and I. They worked very efficiently and they answered any questions that my family and I had. Thank you. Your crew and you were very good at your job.
Professional and courteous.
Max and crew were extremely professional. Did a tremendous job.
Knowledgeable and professional people
Jesse and Cody did an amazing job putting in a new A/C unit for my house. They were friendly and polite. They cleaned up beautifully. I would recommend John Betlam for all their services. We have used them ever since 2019 when we moved in and my father has used them since he moved into his house in the 70’s.…

Had a fantastic experience with John Betlem Heating & Cooling for a full HVAC replacement. Steve Betlem handled the sales side and made the whole process incredibly smooth and straightforward—no pressure, just great options. We were swapping out an old, dead system that had been chugging along since 1984, so this…
Cayden, Ryan and Stephen were very professional and knowledgeable with our installation. They did a fantastic job and left our house just as they found it.
Our A/C went down unexpectedly during the hottest week of the year (with a 100+ heat index), and John Betlem Heating & Cooling completely saved the day for our family. I booked a self-serve appointment online, and they sent a tech out the very same day. Myles, the technician, was incredible—he kick-started our dead…
