Thermo Direct installed a new hot water heater for me today. Rodney was the installer. He arrived on time, was professional and friendly, and kept me informed throughout the process. His supervisor came at the end to help him finish up. I do not remember his name, but he was professional and friendly as well. Before…

A Thermo Direct technician spotted a water leak under the house when doing the HVAC semi-annual tune-up. I called the company the next morning and signed up for the 360 plan to cover HVAC, plumbing, and electric as our house is 30 years old and to get a plumber over faster. The lady on the phone was very helpful…

Rome the technician was super professional and guided me through the repair process. He was super helpful, personable and explained everything. The company is very quick to service and did this in the middle of a heatwave. I had a technician within 24 hours. Highly recommend this technician and company.

I had 3 issues written up by a house inspector. Aaron was diligent in addressing those issues. The issues were not related to my recent HVAC replacement. He was well versed in what he was reviewing. I will ask for him next time that I need service.

Thermo Direct replaced a 30 year old 2 ton gas furnace and AC unit with a new 18 SEER Goodman mini split ducted heat pump, designed by Daikin. This is no mini - significantly larger than expected. And the Daikin technology seems superior. Eddie, the Thermo Direct rep who designed the system sold me by saying he has…

Thermodirect is usually very responsive. If they aren’t able to resolve the issue the first time, they usually send someone until the work is completed to our satisfaction.

Extremely disappointed with this company. The HVAC system was installed incorrectly and started leaking shortly after, damaging my ceiling. I was left without a functioning system for days—not once, but twice. After multiple visits and excuses (blaming the installer, then the equipment), the issue still wasn’t fully…
