Craig was great! He went into very clear information about what was going on with the main sewer line. Also some ideas on what was of the going on with it and possible fixes. This me second time dealing with Thornton & Grooms. Great service with out any high pressure.
Dan was fantastic! Couldn’t have asked for better service or a nicer guy. I thought there was a mechanical issue with my blower fan and he walked me through how it was actually clogged drains in hoses that carry water out of the furnace. Since they were overflowing a bit, the sound was water dripping on the fan,…
Dave was very helpful dealing with our furnace issues. His sense of humor was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine (bill/prognosis) go down.
Dorian did a fine job of providing me with options for fixing the faucet including traveling to the plumbing supply shop and picking out the best one for our situation. Good job.
Thornton & Grooms ElectricalTechnician Cameron Howard completed the installation of a room ceiling fan recently. He did a thorough and professional inspection and fully completed repair/replacement.

When you choose Thornton and Grooms, you can be confident that the job will be done right. Their team is always polite and skilled. I only call them for heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. They may not be the cheapest option, and their prices are often higher, but you can trust them to stand by their work. You…
They got my system running again! Thanks Thorton & grooms!
Outstanding work from Joseph Czank, David Majeska, Seth Keefer, Sael Olivares, and Raymond Thompkins (Heating & Cooling and Electrical Install teams). They completely removed our 21-year-old HVAC system, installed a new single-stage Lennox setup, rerouted electrical to a new location, and added an electrical panel…
Kyle Knight from Thornton & Grooms did a great. He examined the furnace and proposed an upgrade to the system . That evening and throughout the next morning, we did not have a/c. Called T&G, and they were able to send Kyle back out. He found a burned connection to the capacitor. He fixed the wire and replaced…
Jaylen was excellent, very professional. He advised me of the different service Thornton & Grooms offers. He clean up after he served my kitchen drain. Thank you again Jaylen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been using Thornton & Grooms for years, and I’ve always had a great experience. Mason was especially helpful—he was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and genuinely cares about doing a great job. I highly…
In a word, awesome. I absolutely would recommend these guys. Total professionals. Our old AC and furnace had been acting up. Sparing everyone the details, we were experiencing problems every year with the old units. The AC unit was leaking water in the basement late in the day. I called, left a message with the AI…
My air went out during the heat wave the beginning of July. I called all around and T&G were the only ones able to make it same day. The tech that came out was very nice and looked over everything and told me the motor was blown, the relay contact was rusty and the coils needed to be cleaned and quoted me $3k+ to…
Joe was perfect tradrdman.olite and knowledgeable. He explained everything and answered all my questions.
Robert's professionalism was exemplary. He finished the repair perfectly. I would highly recommend him. I appreciated the extra effort he made to help us understand everything. He is a credit to Thornton & Grooms.
Steve with Thornton and Grooms answered all of our questions. We were happy with his response. Even our dog liked him.
Caleb was efficient, personable, knowledgeable and kept us informed while he was working. He discussed the problems and gave us options.
The tech I had today, Kyle, was very pleasant as all your techs have been. But, i'm not at all happy with the company at this time. I'm sorry to say I took that frustration out on Kyle. He was still very patient and understanding. You will be hearing from me soon.
PJ was simply outstanding. Completed the job quickly and explained the problem, the fix, and how to prevent it from happening again. Thank you.

I am a very satisfied with my service and repair made today. He was courteous and knowledgeable. He completed his work in a very tight environment with breaking a sweat. This company will not disappoint. I give this service on my air conditioner a 11 plus
Highly unhelpful and wanted me to spend a ton of money before even identifying / looking for the problem. I was left without any answers or insight and down $99 just because he stepped on my property. It felt like he was withholding information unless I wanted to spend $500+ to even investigate the problem (no…
Stephen was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable which made the service call a great customer experience.
Needed to add freon to charge the system. They came and diagnosed the issue and promptly made the necessary repairs

Mayli was very patient on finding the best solution.
Julio came over on time and was professional.

He was on his way out, my heat quit…
Robert was kind and just a wonderful person to have in my home. He showed and explained every detail of all the he found as he went along. With anything that needed to be placed or added to my unit.

Great service—technician was on time, quickly fixed my A/C, and explained everything clearly.
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 just moved into a new house and noticed a large temperature and humidity difference between the two floors.

Nice work, and extra mile found other problems
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.
I love Thornton & Grooms. They always give the best service and I have had them for years. Thanks once again!!!
Brad was great at explaining my problem with the sewers under the house and giving me different options to fix it.
Brand new AC unit wasn’t cooling. Turns out it was a simple valve issue. Fixed and working nice and cool..
Update to plumbing work done on 05/26: Glad to see Zak showed up since he did the original work. A small water pressure issue with the shower. This was quickly resolved by cleaning out the shower head screen which had scaling probably from the hot water heater flush. Once cleaned and reassembled, issue resolved. Zak…
Daniel is a great tech and diagnosed my "ghost" problem quickly and effectively. Also he was very personable and was a pleasure to have in my home. All in all, he did what two other techs from lower tier companies were unable (or unwilling) to do. 5 stars all day.
Nick was thorough and explained everything.
Mike was professional and explained everything very well.
The service was excellent and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the issues.
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…
Alex was kind and professional and thorough.
Had trouble with our thermostat. Juan was professional and knowledgeable. Great service and technician.
Always a pleasure to have Thornton & Grooms out to service my HVAC equipment. Victor was prompt, very professional and pleasant. Great company, consistent every time, with well trained technicians. Highly recommend.
Thornton and Grooms handled my AC repair with professionalism and sklll. Our technicians were punctual and very courteous. I’ve dealt with T&G multiple times and find this experience is typical rather than the exception. Great company!
excellent service, amicable and thoughtful
Kyle from Thornton & Grooms did an outstanding job servicing our HVAC system. He was professional, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain what was going on and what needed to be fixed. He also cleaned up everything when the work was done, which was greatly appreciated. It’s rare to have such a positive…
My AC wasn’t starting and Mehdie from Thornton and Grooms gave me an Estimate of $5600+ to fix it. I was tempted to get a new unit if it was going to cost that much to repair. I called a different heating and cooling company for a second opinion and they fixed it for $100.
I cannot say enough of how these guys are the best plumbing service company out here. Completely trustworthy and the services techs are hands-down the best in this industry. They always have the parts that are needed so I'm never waiting to get my problems repaired. Thorton and Grooms will always be my first choice when I'm in need.

Mike was efficient and professional.
Very professional service no problems at all

Tequila was an amazing representative to work with. She was so kind from the moment she called me on my phone to the moment she stepped into my home. She even brought my dog and my nephew a gift. She explained everything that was happening with our furnace and our AC unit. we elected to go for the premium…
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…

Steve was very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. Did the job in a timely manner. Explanation of everything he was doing was very thorough. Overall great service. A pleasure. So personable.
Extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and the way my refund has been handled. After paying a deposit, I was explicitly told: “It’s your money — you can get a FULL refund. This is just to lock in a date while we wait for parts.” Based on that assurance, I moved forward. Since then, communication has…
In a word, Tequila was AMAZING!! Very informative and made sure I understood my options. She was as professional as they come. She was very thorough and transparent regarding needs, costs, and not once did she make me feel pressured. I would recommend T&G and Tequila, specifically, everytime. Brian was equally…
Dan came out to look at a possibly wiring issue within my HVAC unit. Did everything possible to shore up the system so it won’t happen again, and even gave some advice on an unrelated plumbing issue. Thornton & Grooms techs are always good people from my experience.

Was very disappointed. I’m in the family plan. Furnace stopped working on Sunday, they have an option (press 9 if it’s an emergency and leave a message, they let you know there may be an additional fee for coming in a Sunday). No one called onus back. I left 3 messages. On Monday, I called at 7am and they said…
Really impressed with the quality of service from Thornton & Grooms. We ended up getting a membership based on our great experience when Stephen Clark came out to inspect our A/C. He was kind, honest & thorough. We had a furnace inspection with Shane Madera & he similarly answered all of our questions & was upfront…
Alex was great. Nice young man
I was simply amazed at Thornton & Grooms professionalism, knowledge and integrity on all the changes I needed. Shout out to Tequila W. Who not only took her time but walked me through everything with keeping my budget intact. Anything HVAC make sure you ask for her. I will be using their services forever.
12-5-24 If you’re looking for a quick answer, you will find no one else better as I can confidently say with the experiences not only we’ve had, but my parents who first referred me, we’ll be customers for life! For those of you like myself who like to know the why someone feels a certain way, let me explain. A few…
Well trained technians. I have been calling on T&G for years now. They are always professional and knowledgeable. They clean up after themselves and are kind people.
T&G has done work for us over the last 9 years, and every experience has been totally professional with fantastic employees, super easy to work with, answering every question with completeness, doing the job right, and standing behind their work.

Mike came out and identified the problem within a couple of hours of me calling and…
Another great job by the T&G team. Aidan came out for the yearly HVAC inspection. He found a leak and a faulty capacitor. Great service, explaining along the way as he root caused the issues.

Mike is a good guy, experienced and knowledgeable.
I always like Thorton & Grooms- their business model is done very well. I had a new A/C put in a couple years ago and it continues to give me trouble. Thorton and Grooms has tried hard to get this right...
Thornton and Grooms are always wonderful, they do a fantastic job! Alex just fixed our HVAC (air conditioner), yay!

My technician, Christian Baxter was thorough, competent and polite. He explained the problem concisely -checked for warranty -gave the exact cost to fix the problem and fixed it, leaving my basement neat the way he found it.
Mike Lilley is very personable, respectful, and knowledgeable service provider. I have never met a sharper individual on the subject of HVAC maintenance. He took ample time explaining his findings after doing a thorough assessment. He is a huge asset to this company.
We had a HVAC issue that needed immediate attention. They were the ones that stepped up and helped us. Total professionals.
Tequila was a wonderful comfort specialist. She was so sweet and took the time to explain everything carefully. Ryan and Jose came to install my new HVAC. They did an amazing job! Definitely recommend Thornton for your HVAC needs.

Alex was professional and did an excellent job

But I must say took a little longer then…
Dan came to my house to perform the yearly Furnace safety check. So glad I had it done. Found a leak that caused some damage to the motor. The part is still under warranty so having it replaced.

Kyle was A terrific source in repairing our issues. He is thorough and knowledgeable about the issues weird. I would highly recommend Thornton & Grooms for any HVAC issues you may have.
Although Dave, who was our service man twice for this issue, was excellent, I can not give 5 stars to the company as a whole this time. The service system they use is one that implies that a customer has nothing to do all day except sit at home near their cell phone. They call or text, then if you're available, they…
Recently had to install two new furnaces (they always go out in dead of winter) and the T&G team was top notch, not to mention very courteous and professional. Highly recommended!
I had a former employee from Levine and Sons recommend Thornton and Grooms. He said they were a bit pricey but worth every penny.
