Sean Dunbar was great. Checked out our HVAC system and showed us several plans. Explained each system and their functions. We were happy with our choice. Sean made arrangements for our new install. Will continue to use Michael's and Sons for our Plumbing and HVAC services.

Exceptional service!!! Could not be happier that I called them for a leak at my washing machine. It turned out to be a larger issue that we thought.

The tech’s that came out and did the work were good. It’s the front office you need to be careful about. Promise you anything and then do something else. They will send you an estimate that’s impossible to understand. Told me I was getting a discount and then give me excuses instead. Watch out when you talk to Joan…

My technician David Brooks, was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, great communication skills, knowledgeable and clean. I would work with Micheal and Son’s because of him if I ever have any other work done.

Did a decent and timely job, but be aware they don't work with reliable contractors. Find your own contractors; don't trust the ones Michael and son gives you

All representatives showed up when they said they would, were communicative, transparent, knowledgeable, and very respectful. It's obvious they care about the customer service aspect. I had Ryan come out first to assess and stop the leakage. He was able to identify problems quickly and diagnose anything involved…
