Excellent communication through the whole process, from booking through arrival and departing. Professional, courteous, thorough. 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…
Service response to initial call was very prompt along with repair to faulty AC part. However, we had just purchased the entire Lennox HVAC system from T&G only 3 years ago and ended up having to pay $458 to replace a basic AC part that should not have gone bad or at least, should be covered under warranty! As a…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been using Thornton & Grooms for years, and I’ve always had a great experience.

You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and genuinely cares about doing a great job. I highly…

Dan Little from Thorton & Grooms was amazing. It was a blessing that our repair was covered by our warranty, but it was just a joy to work with him in our home and working so hard.

Very impressed with Thornton & Grooms. James C. Did a great job. Definitely will call them again when we need them.

Jeron was awesome. He didn’t sugar coat my air conditioner’s problems and let me know what to expect.
Always willing to explain what they are doing and why. Very thorough and knowledgeable
Air conditioning - Dan fixed it well. Very good tech. Very reasonable and methodical. Very thorough in troubleshooting and fixing the problem. Highly recommend him for HVAC related issues
Alex C literally saved our opinion of Thornton & Grooms, we had multiple visits for our A.C. with another tech and were getting no where. We were starting to have doubts but then Alex came out and found the issue in 5 minutes, spent his time to resolve correctly and verified resolution.
Service was quick and technician friendly and knowledgeable. A/C still under warranty, so I only paid service fee of $99
Dan was absolutely incredible! We’ve identified that prior service to our HVAC/air condition was done incorrectly and is causing significant issues- highly recommend Thornton and Grooms to get root causes and address the full picture!
Trevor was professional, courteous, and on-time. I recommend him for your HVAC needs
Mayli was very patient on finding the best solution.
I had an issue that was responded to that day in a most professional and timely way.
Mike , our service tech, was great! He was very thorough, explained things well and took the time to answer all of our questions.

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.
Mike Lilley came out today and checked out the 2 a/c systems we have on the house. Unfortunately, both were low on refrigerant and both were Freon (R22) units. Unfortunately, not good news for us. Mike was great. Took his time, listened and asked questions. He explained what he saw in a clear and understandable…
TJ Hudson provided excellent service today. He explained everything we asked. He also ordered an electrician to complete the repairs for our air conditioner. We would ask for him again. Al Bejczy
Several years of quality, quick work by all T &G technicians! Ricardo, Jeff W. and Tony Paterno have been especially great! Customer since 2019
Knowledgeable, Courteous and Quick Professional ac repair
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…
Lucas was really great. He was extremely friendly and did his best. T&G is the best!
Called for AC repair after system was down for 24 hours during the heat wave at 7:30 am. Service arrived at 11. Our old provider of 20+ years told us they could come out in 8 days. A friend recommended T&G. T&G came out in 3 hours. Super professional, informative, kind, and efficiently found and fixed the problem…
I was floored with the cost of the repair parts that were charged to me. Seem to be very high. I am 70 and needed my air conditioning. The technician was very cordial and did a good job.
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…
Super great guys! Very friendly informative and did a great job!!
Devin was outstanding. Very respectful, thorough and nice. Great job
We had a loud vibration noise coming from our A/C system. It was difficult to diagnose, but Dave stuck with it until he was able to fix the issue.
The service I received was outstanding along with the care of my property and keeping the service areas clean
Great service - the technician was very polite and explained everything. Really appreciate the quick, efficient and great service. I would not hesitate to call them again. Thanks!
I scheduled a request for a Comfort Advisor to propose a new furance and air conditioning system. Mayli was assigned to my request. She ask what my expectations would be, regarding the heating and cooling of the home and different options that are offered by Thornton & Grooms. She proposed two options for…
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…
AC unit replacement. Such a pleasant and knowledgeable young man. Did an excellent job. Kept us informed the whole time.
Professional, thorough, committed and focused. Careful removal area of items for access and drop cloth used and good cleanup after completed drainage.
Knowledgeable about ac units and which type would work best for us. Would recommend.
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
Jeron ran some tests and ultimately found the problem with our A/C compressor. He was very polite and communicative.
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…
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.
Brian did a great job!
Always pleasant neat and clean. We'll trained
Do NOT order any products from Thorton & Groom. They outsource this part of the business and it's impossible to get help finding the correct item for any system, furnace or air conditioner, i.e. air filters they installed. If you order the wrong item, you deal with this outsource company, and they never get back to you. You're stuck.
Kaleb Meyerink, the Senior Technician who fixed my AC today was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely easy to talk to. He quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything in plain English, and made sure it was fixed the right way, not just patched up.
Dan provided a thorough explanation of the AC issue and repaired it quickly and efficiently. Really appreciate his professionalism.
Darren did a great job! He was friendly and personable. They responded very quickly to my call.
Christian was very polite, knowledgeable and professional. Christian took the time to explain everything in detail with clarity and precision. Christian is a great representative of Thornton and Grooms!
This is specifically about Hunter Pearce. He fixed our AC problem immediately, got right to the point and the job done. I wish all the employees were that sharp. Will ask for him specifically next time.
Logan and Maki provided great service! They arrived quickly and took care of our drain problem .
Joe was really helpful in answering my questions and easy to talk to!
Dan came out today and was able to diagnose the cause of my HVAC issues, having an older system too he gave knowledgeable recommendations for either a repair or replacement of the system. 3/11/26 Kyle came in for a furnace inspection and was extremely professional, polite, and explained everything he was doing in…
We had an emergency plumbing issue with our main shut off valve. We called.

In addition to being punctual, he followed safety…
Phenomenal service and professional all the way. Love this company. Jeremie Watson was so knowledgeable of every type of product I had in my home. Fixed my ductwork perfectly

Jonathan provided great service.
The tech, Stephen, was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything that he would be doing.

Jason was very knowledgeable, friendly and clear spoken. He walked me through all the possibilities of what can be wrong.

He was, courteous, knowledgeable, respectful, and took the time to explain what the issue was and what he had to do. We had scheduled an appointment for our air conditioner, but they had an opening…
Thornton & Grooms was extremely responsive and came for repairs within 24 hours, which was critical when we were heading into a week of very hot weather. Flame Heating & Cooling which had installed the A/C unit two years earlier told me it would be 10 days before they could come. Adam Martin, the T&G technician, was…

AC annual service and repair. Clear explanations of everything. Patient. Polite. Well informed.
He did a great job and fixing my air conditioner. Being that it was only 3 years old still under warranty. So he was great but I don't know about the air conditioner. I hope it stays okay. But he did a good job.
The service technicians are always very helpful I had my furnace and a/c installed over 3 years ago was a difficult job for me and them in worst weather conditions we've had was like - 20 that February week and they came out to fix water pipe and found leak in furnace.

I'm nearly 70yrs old & have dealt with many contractors. John is by far the nicest, most humble, dedicated young man that I've dealt with. He was determined to find the problem with my Trane a/c.... he did ! Why would a 7yr old , 16 seer ac leak ? Find John & he will solve your problem !

Always have a great experience when Jason handles my service needs. Very knowledgeable and reliable.
Honestly when my AC went out mid August I just assumed I was screwed. I feel like every business I go to for car repairs, etc has 2 week waits. This was not the case here. I was able to schedule my appointment online, they came the very next day, and my AC was back up and running in less than 24 hours from when I…
My A/C unit wasn’t working properly. Fortunately, Thorton & Grooms was able to send out a service technician the next morning to resolve the issue. Stephen, the HVAC service technician, was able to make the needed repair. He also installed key updates to keep my unit safe from future lightning storms. In addition,…
Dion Dixon was very polite, professional and efficient as he came and checked my basement floor drain. This was part of the service I received by purchasing the one-year Home Care Club membership. I am happy with Thornton & Grooms services.

Steve was very helpful when I had questions and performed the job very well. Great service.
Alex and Ryan were absolutely stellar today - they put in a LOT of work to solve a difficult problem, and kept me fully updated on the situation the whole time. At the start of the day I was fully bracing myself for the news that I’d need a full reinstallation, but they got me all sorted out for a fraction of the…
Condensation pump had been clogged for I have no clue burned out the pump and was ruining my basement. Zach came out was very direct and did a great job. Also, took time out to explain how to maintain it.
Dan was right on time he was professional very kind answered all my questions highly recommend
This review is not about Ken as he was a good tech. This review is about the company, poor quality of past service and poor equipment they sell! About a year after we bought our A/C unit I kept hearing a grinding when it was shutting off. My husband and I reported it to the company and they said they would check it…
This was at my home and air-conditioning unit he did a great job

This afternoon, T&G provided three services: (1)Repair A/C, (2) A/C Annual Maintenance & (3) Clean A/C Compressor. Dan Beckett is truly an outstanding technician. His technical work was effective and efficient plus his "homeowner communication skills" were great. I would highly recommend Dan to everyone. Happy Homeowner
Staff is professional. Their dispatch is great because they give you precise times and will try to fit you in if there are cancellations.
Phenomenal experience!
Called them for an emergency drain cleaning - on Easter weekend, no less, and after normal hours! Came and did a great job and was professional and courteous all the way through. Toilets now flush, basement is not flooding - all good! UPDATE: Another one of their guys came out two days later and did a full drain…
Very professional, knowledgeable & friendly.
I’ve always been happy with the services received and feel like they back up their work. I’m very happy with them.
