We've used LCS for years for our HVAC service. Always get a text when they're coming, with a picture of the technician. We recently needed to replace our furnace, so we did a new AC unit too (was the same age). The staff explained all our options very carefully and even helped with the financing! It was an…

Update: Today’s technician went far above and beyond. His name is Sam Pohl. I’d give him 6 stars if I could. The reason? I have a dual system. The upstairs unit has never adequately kept the area sufficiently cool. Basically when outside is sunny and 85 or more, the unit runs constantly and the air temperature…

Sam did an incredible job! His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile while cleaning the blower motor made a huge difference. This also made the house smell so much better (no more of that furnace smell that I got used to). Sam was extremely professional and took the time to answer all of my…

With subzero weather, everyone’s heating system was being tested to capacity. Many systems went out, including mine. It started with the gas line, regulators and through 3-4 days of testing the furnace gas valve, and adjusting pressures, I now have heat. Mark was quick to respond with a professional attitude and of great knowledge. Special thanks to him!!!
