T & G is best in class service. The home care package is a great deal. The technician’s are smart, professional and efficient. I am a repeat customer.
This company is getting worse. Four years ago, I gave them a 5-star review for helping resolve a plumbing issue I had. This year, at the beginning of summer, I called them to check my AC which was having startup issues. First off, their AI, Casey, is buggy. Due to my own error, it double booked my appointment, and…

Greg arrived on time, was very thorough with his inspection of the plumbing system. He replaced a couple seals, drained the hot water heater & installed a couple screws into the HW…

They may not be the cheapest option, and their prices are often higher, but you can trust them to stand by their work. You…
Outstanding work from Joseph Czank, David Majeska, Seth Keefer, Sael Olivares, and Raymond Thompkins (Heating & Cooling and Electrical Install teams).

Davion was able to come out a day early to do our annual AC system check up. He was , friendly and very knowledgeable. Davion is a real asset to Thornton and Grooms. If I could, I would ask for him personally for any HVAC work we have done by them!
Alex Cibulka at Thornton and Grooms did an outstanding job cleaning and maintaining my A/C unit. He was timely, friendly, and knowledgeable, and he quickly got everything in working order. I couldn’t be happier with the job. 10/5 stars!
Maggie Schmitt was so helpful. She did an excellent job doing a 2 hour AC inspection. Highly recommend!
Our year old a/c unit was making subtle noises that we could hear through the walls to our family room, quite annoying actually. A previous tech said not much could be done, is normal for the system. Month later we called again. This time James M. arrived and checked out the system, found several screws were loose…
Had another great experience with T&G. I had a technician, Mike Lilley, come out to do the annual a/c unit check up on our house. Mike was very thorough and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all the questions that we had on our end. All in all, Mike did an outstanding job!
Gentleman who came to repair the work of the person who incorrectly installed the first new air conditioner did an excellent job identifying and fixing the prior mistakes.

Trevor was professional, courteous, and on-time. I recommend him for your HVAC needs
Awesome representative of Thornton & Grooms! 😻 Nice serviceman! Da’Vu was very pleasant & I’d happily see him again, if any future furnace or A/C issues crop up!!!
Julio came over on time and was professional. He was very thorough in reviewing what was wrong with my heating unit, what could and could not be done to fix it, and did what he could to troubleshoot so I had heat in the meantime before a more permanent repair could be made. He was on his way out, my heat quit…
I had an AC service check today. The tech, Da'vu, was great. Yesterday, I replaced two water heaters. Zak and Demetrius were great. In the recent past, Rodney has done plumbing. He was great. Unfortunately, the customer service bot is one of the MOST frustrating things I have ever experienced. Impossible to reach a…
Great experience with Nick! Very responsive and professional with his service.
Very likeable and professional and most important of all, honesty.
Sam final inspected ac compressor under warranty on my 2023 ac unit installed by T & G. Friendly and efficient repair was much appreciated. Ready for summer heat. Sam went beyond and above expectations.
I have a T&G service contract and when Medhie came out (on Tuesday) he discovered water issues and holes in both of my Lennox units. The repair costs were going tk be substantial so I asked for a sales guy to come out and Brian come out the following day (Wednesday) and we talked thru the options. He helped me…

Thanks MIKE. // Dakota Gray did an awesome job, he explained that the thermostat was bad and the type i needed to buy. He checked the…
Nick Garrett came over today to check our a/c. He answered my many questions with clarity and patience. He gave me options to keep our a/c robust! No sales pitch or pressure! and…he got rid of a dead mouse nested in the a/c unit and then encountered a live one without a beat! We appreciate his positive attitude.
Robert came out and repaired, what was wrong with the A/C. He did an excellent job. He came by 3 hours after the initial call. We have had Family Heating and Cooling out several times, and still wasn't right. Then wait days to get someone here. Thornton & Grooms came by earlier, then scheduled appointment. Jessie…
I just moved into a new house and noticed a large temperature and humidity difference between the two floors. I was able to make an appointment quickly with Thornton & Grooms to see what the issue was. The first tech, Kyle, was very informative, good about explaining the issue without making it feel like he was…
Prompt, courteous and thorough. You can’t ask for better service!
Steve was great. Explained all the tests he performed. Had 3 different price options to choose. Very professional and friendly. Showed me the part he replaced. Price was reasonable.
Learned that the Home Care Club does not provide preventative care maintenance unlike service plans I have had from other providers. Charging $300+ to clean the outside AC unit seems excessive in combination with the $240 per year annual charge.
Devin was outstanding. Very respectful, thorough and nice. Great job
Christian Baxter came today and started a project to temporarily move the A/C compressor. He is a very knowledgeable technician, a great communicator, and very pleasant. As usual, he did a great job!!
As a subscriber to their system evaluation program, I had Thorton & Grooms come out to inspect my A/C unit outside and components inside (humidifier, condensate drains, blower motor). Their technician Alex Cibulka exhibited patience and knowledge of the 1970s era components, testing the service and evaluating what…

Once we talked he was very diligent on looking at what the problem were, and did not stop until he could identify what the real culprit was, then explained the cost of the AC leak, where it was and what it was going to need after .
Very professional and friendly service!
Marcus did a great job installing my new water heater. He was efficient yet very careful. The job was done very cleanly. He took time to explain what was done and why. He answered all my questions in detail. I would be happy to have him back in My Home again.
Victor did a fantastic job. He thoroughly checked the A/C and gave me some excellent suggestions regarding how to improve performance.
Professional and thorough. All good & competent people Completely satisfied.
Our tech, Victor, provided excellent service - educating us about our system. We contacted Thornton & Grooms because our AC was not working and by then end of the appointment, we were sold on their maintenance service. I don’t love that their appointment windows are the full day, but for a few times per year for our…
Professional, thorough, committed and focused. Careful removal area of items for access and drop cloth used and good cleanup after completed drainage.
Alexander was professional, on time and did a fantastic job
Very knowledgeable and explained everything. Another excellent job.
June 2026 - I have another great review for Thornton and Grooms. Jeron Greene came to check out our AC unit, and addressed other minor concerns we had.

Great job, wasn’t happy that the air conditioner had fried wires, but Dan found the problem and offered me two different solutions. Fixed it and now I am protected. Thank you
Obtaining service continues to be a real hassle with their attempt to AI the front office. I would go elsewhere except that the technical staff is top drawer. David arrived within the 30 minute phone call (from a real person after a futile call back to AI/Cory). He was thorough and thoughtful and asked before…
Very thorough, professional and friendly. Very expert, informative and helpful. Respectful and considerate of all my concerns. Much appreciated!
Great friendly service, kept fully informed with multiple updates. This was a free scheduled inspection being part of the Home Care Club.

Thoughtful informative man . We were delighted with his work.
Arrived on time - coordination was good; professional, clean(used shoe covers for the house), and informative. Many thank yous Juan
Had T&G out to service and tune up my AC unit, and the technician, David Rudd, was absolutely fantastic. He handled the tuning quickly and professionally, but the real standout was his integrity. We initially thought the motor needed replacing - that would’ve been expensive repair. David took the time to dig…
Thanks for a great A/C checkup!
Cheery service, well explained, estimated work, executed work efficiently.

Dan could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Explained everything to me in detail—how it all worked, and why it wasn't working now.He was also completely upfront about the pricing and how to avoid this in the future.
We’ve always loved the level of service that T&G provides, but Zeke went above and beyond! Really happy, job well done.
On time, good communications, completed on schedule, 100% clean up after,
Mike did an excellent job of figuring out what the problem was, then correcting it. He also made sure that the entire system worked afterwards, even though he was there for the AC. * Jason H. came out for a routine inspection and realized the AC had stopped working l. In checking the equipment, he found the HVAC…

Very professional and reasonably priced

Jack Nolta came out to inspect the new A/C unit installed earlier and check for start up for our season. He went over maintenance with me and added Freon to the new unit. System seems ready whenever the weather warms up!
The Thornton and Grooms Serviceman, Kyle Knight, came out and provided an AC inspection.
