Very professional, excellent work, on time,. The salesman Don took his time and explained everything to me. The installer Joe was very nice and did professional excellent work. I highly recommend Thornton and 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…
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…
We have been a customer with Thornton & Grooms for several years. Brandon and team were very professional and knowledgeable. He answered any of our questions and explained how our new furnace and air conditioner worked. I would highly recommend him!
Nick from Thornton &Grooms came over to do the yearly maintenance on my A/C. He was very thorough, professional, and easy to work with. He explained all of the mechanics that he would be checking and explained them to me. He took the time to explain how the UV lights worked inside the unit and showed me how to…
Tequila is very knowledgeable with the Lennox line of home comfort systems and am looking forward to the installation and everyday use of our new system
Brandon and his team were great. Professional, respectful of my home, patient explaining the new thermostat operation. Answered all my questions. Assuming this is a good system considering the price, I would recommend them.
Over the years, since 2018 , we have had Thornton & Grooms install and service a number of items in our home. We appreciate the cordial, professional manner shown by each of the T&G people.
Best, quickest and neatest replacement of complete HVAC system! Very knowledgeable and courteous- highly recommend
Donte was very efficient and thorough in explaining all the details and information on installing a new air conditioning unit and system. I enjoyed learning and talking to him, I haven’t decided to go with his company yet still collecting estimates.
Tequila was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in figuring out which AC would best fit our needs and space.
Every part of the process so far has been timely professional and priced reasonably. Our sewer drains from the house we clogged and not even water could penetrate and flow through our drains. We called late in the afternoon and due to flooding of the basement they promised a technician would be to our house that…
Took advantage of an elderly couple who didn’t know any better during a mini split install, charged $8100 for a single head unit straightforward installation 12k Mitsubishi unit and then “discounted it” $700 to make them feel like they were getting a good deal. $5000+ in labor and a $2500 retail worth of equipment.…
He was knowledgeable and helpful and efficient with his time. I give him a "👍 "!
Chris provided a thorough analysis of our HVAC system. He provided multiple options, with pricing, and financing. We really appreciated his friendliness and service.
Excellent service from Jeremy and Seth. They did a full day install of a furnace, humidifier, and ac unit. This was a big job and I never heard them all day aside from occasional screw drivers. They were polite and professional.
Install went well and they did a great job sealing up everything they worked on. They cleaned up pretty well and house is starting to cool off already.
Very Knowledgeable and Friendly!
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…
Several years of quality, quick work by all T &G technicians! Ricardo, Jeff W. and Tony Paterno have been especially great! Customer since 2019
Kevin and Matt were Very personal and professional.

AC unit replacement. Such a pleasant and knowledgeable young man. Did an excellent job. Kept us informed the whole time.
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. He was very friendly, professional, personable and took time to explain anything we asked. We've had T&G out at least 5 times now and each time the technicians and…
Craig is a professional. Videoed my sewer line. Knew what he was doing, explained everything in detail, laid out options. Great first impression.
Fantastic work! Sael, Brandon, and everyone else I communicated with on the crew were extremely professional and explained everything clearly.

Eric was exceptional:Gave a true estimate of HVAC Explained options so I could understand Used his own system as a basis for recommendations Suggestions were based on area of house not on me too product Thoroughly enjoyed being with him; professional, aware of my concerns, discussed with me as he would a friend He…
We’ve always loved the level of service that T&G provides, but Zeke went above and beyond! Really happy, job well done.
Hired Thornton & Grooms for the purchase and installation of a brand new furnace and air conditioning unit. We got several quotes from many companies. Thornton & Grooms biggest selling point was that these things are all about the installation being done properly. People need to hire a solid company like theirs…
Outstanding
The new equipment was installed without issue and actually quicker than expected. The tech took time to explain the work before during and after the installation was complete
Dan was my tech and I found him to be trustworthy and honest in his assessment of our cooling system diagnosis.
I worked mostly with Dionne Kennedy. She is the absolute best. She answered every question I had and I had a lot of of them. She made the process of purchasing two furnaces and two air conditioners very easy and smooth. I must admit, she is the main reason that I used Thornton and Grooms. I would highly recommend…
Thornton & Grooms representative Chip Stone provided estimates to replace our HVAC systems. Chip was very knowledgeable, informative and clear in his presentation. It was a pleasure to work with him. His estimate was the second best out of 5 that we got.
Excellent customer service and professional installation
They provide excellent quality service and explained everything that was done. And we're done by the quoted time.
From the sales team to the installation team. The entire process was done with professionalism and respect.
Anthony was Amazing as an installer for our Furnace, Air cleaner, and Humidifier along with all the ductwork involved. He’s very knowledgeable, Efficient, and his experience shows in his work. We would not hesitate in referring him to anyone who needs the work done.
Very professional explained everything very well I would recommend this company to anybody
Trustworthy company. We’ve interacted with many of their staff over the years & they have all been kind & very competent.
Thorton and Groom was a pleasure to work with from the quote thru the installation. Replacement was expensive but multiple quotes were comparative I am glad I went with them
Quick response for water heater inspection
I would 100% recommend Thornton & Grooms for your HVAC installation. From making the appointment to the install of my furnace and A/C unit was 5 star service. I had my installation done in November 2025. It started out that I caught the furnace inspection deal so I can get my furnace checked out. Stephen C. came…
Update (12/30/2025) Thanks to Devin D for performing scheduled Plumbing Inspection and Maintenance. Devin was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The cost for this visit was "zero", as it was covered under Thornton & Grooms' Annual Prepaid Service Plan. (5/5 stars)! -- David H ===== Update (06/11/2025) Thanks…
Zak P was great. Informational and professional. **2025 update** Dave L & Andre C. were great too! Kudos to the entire team over there.
The Thornton & Grooms team of 3 install technicians came to our house on time and worked very hard to tear out both our furnace and A/C and install new furnace and A/C. This included a new chimney liner. The work was done in one day. We're very happy with the work done by the T&G team today.
Written in approximately 2017 --- I am thrilled with my experience with Thornton and Grooms...all 20+ times they've been out over the years. They absolutely have a knack for hiring the perfect service technicians. Bill Richards is our go-to guy for plumbing and Will Walker for HVAC. We've had others come out, and…
Always willing to explain the issue and offer opinion and not feel pressured to make a decision immediately
Chip was very nice, personable, knowledgeable, and supportive. Being told you need a new furnace three days before thanksgiving at the tune of $9000 was not ideal but Chip helped us through all our options and made us feel comfortable with our decisions. Very satisfied.
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.
I appreciate your service Guy coming to my house And fixing the pipe leak.
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…
Just had a new furnace and air conditioner installed. The T&G team did a fantastic job. Our job was a bit more complicated than they first anticipated and didn’t rush the process to do it right. They were at my home for about 11 hours! We had this job quoted by 4 different recommended companies from the Lennox…
Ooh my goodness! Installed a boiler like the champions they are, Perfect! These guys are 1 in a million! Excellent all around!!!!! Thanks so much! I will be using T and G for all our needs!! Amazing!

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. Today’s work involved a yearly check of out furnaces. Adam did a very…
I have had a troupe of T&G staff in and out of my house this week! All very polite, efficient and informative. Joseph Czank confirmed not only did my furnace need replacing but that it was DANGEROUS to operate. Brian Marshall was able to come within a couple of hours and very thoroughly go over options, pricing and…
Miles was very professional and knowledgeable about systems. Will use and recommend this company to other friends .
Excellent service - on time - professional and reliable
The employees at this company have been the friendliest and most responsive service providers I have ever dealt with. They installed a new furnace and AC unit for us.

Detailed, knowledgeable and very professional. Each detail was explained to me clearly and the end result was awesome. Great
Jerimie came to install a new furnace and AC unit. He was on time, friendly, and informative. Got the job done earlier than estimated. Great experience.
Very friendly and provided possible solutions and estimates upfront. Appreciate the honesty as it is one of the most critical aspects selecting plumbers.
I had a new AC installed less than 30 days ago by Thornton & Grooms. There have been a few reasons since then that I would reccommend against using Thornton & Grooms ... First, I had my new AC that costed over $8000 installed on a Friday, and on the following Monday, all over the television I was seeing ads to…
Thornton & Grooms recently installed a new Lennox central air unit for us. They have always been responsive, on time and professional. Techs did a great job, answered all our questions and reviewed the entire project with us when they were done. Highly recommend.
Jacob Napier, and Kevin Cole and crew did a timely and professional job. Very polite and thorough!
Eric was very knowledgeable and walked us through multiple options, including rebates, etc. he showed up on time with a great attitude and was very kind to our dogs as well. Would definitely recommend him and T&G to others.
All 3 gentlemen arrived on time and worked so hard. Very happy with the service
T&G consistently provides expert service quality tradesmen, thanks Kevin!
Dan was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and even some I didn't know to ask! I didn't feel rushed or pressured. Truly a pleasant experience.
Very professional and thorough. Answered all questions and offered several options. I would recommend Steve Pouloit and Thornton and Grooms.
Nick was VERY Professional and the install gave me air conditioning again! Thank You for great service
Having done some heating and cooling part time after I retired with a reputable contractor I know you don’t mess around with who you hire. We had 2 other estimates $2k-$3k cheaper than your price and fortunately I know what going cheap can get a homeowner. I needed no convincing to go with your company. Brian made…
Eric’s review of project options was thorough, well informed and very detailed. He provided several options based on our discussions to allow us to weigh budget options. He gathered sufficient detail to allow the project install team to perform their work with all materials needed for the project on their truck as…
Brandon and the team working here has been great! They are friendly and take time to explain what they are doing. I liked them so much I grilled some hamburgers for them!
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...
I've been using them for several years and I've always been very happy with the services. The techs are very knowledgeable and fully explain anything I want to know. Sales is very easy and helpful to work with without being pushy. All their staff is very nice and quick to respond. They are a little more in cost than…
Chip was a fantastic guy to deal with and definitely a great company to do business with, should be a button with ten stars
Brian was awesome he was able to walk me through the entire process in a way it was to understand. He was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Thornton Grooms to anyone you totally trust them!
Kevin and team were courteous and professional, working diligently to install our AC system. All went very well and we feel we are in good hands with Thornton & Grooms.
Very satisfied with the professionalism, quality of Thornton and Grooms. They have always been on time and personable. I would highly recommend.
Very dissatisfied with their service! They wanted over 800 dollars to add Freon and clean coils! I purchase my unit in 2021! Would never recommend this company! No one calls back!
John T., Jose A., and Ned S. did a phenomenal job installing our entirely new HVAC system and were efficient, orderly, friendly, and thorough! The new system looks amazing, works great immediately after the installation, and will save us money (especially with Thornton's long warranty). I highly recommend Thornton…
Daniel was very professional and communicated all furnace and a/c purchase options. He communicated in a simple easy to understand manner. Daniel addresses all my questions satisfactorily. Awesome service.

Answered questions by phone
Terrific service and installation. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Friendly, kind, courteous and professional. Explained everything well.
I can't thank the entire team enough for the great work. It started with our salesman Chip who explained and educated me on heating and cooling as a whole. Chip broke down the different heating systems, air conditioning systems (including seer levels) and everything in between. Chip was personable, nice and made me…
Dwayne was simply OUTSTANDING!!
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. If I did not do the maintenance this year, could have done more damage to my furnace. So Thanks Dan for doing a great job…

We've used Thornton & Grooms to install our Boiler, baseboard heating, and AC, and to to replumbed our water pipes, over the past 25 years.

Yes, Joe and the Thornton & Grooms team did an excellent job. Thanks so much for job well done.
Was very happy with the inspection. Tech was on time and thorough with the inspection.
My wife and I joined the Home Care Club when we had a new furnace/ac unit installed. Since then, we have taken advantage of the free services that come with the membership. During an annual flush of our water heater, I watched as the plumber, Trevor Nabozny, turned the control valve to the off position. The…

Salesman was great, went downhill from there, came home after install they left rust dust everywhere, my carpet on my stairs is filthy and covered in rust and grease now, they didn't put cover back in my drain in the basement just left it open. Installed the air conditioner in the middle of my walkway from front of…
Very knowledgeable!
Brian was an informative person. Answered our questions and we all had a pleasurable appointment. In addition to Brian, we were very impressed at how well all the workers knew exactly what their jobs were and everyone worked together to quickly get the job done. Because of that everything was quickly done and…
Very professional. Explained everything in detail!
Presentation was informative. We are not in need of this service at this time.
They’re great but a little pricey. However, you can be sure everything is done right for the price.
I can’t complain about the technicians. They are always knowledgeable and professional. However, the way the business is run is pathetic. It is ALWAYS an issue for them to keep an appointment time. They NEVER honor or respect your time with regards to an arrangement you made well in advance. It is either “missed”…
Kendall has been to my home twice. Once for A/C check and another time for Furnace check. He is very thorough and always answers all my questions. Very professional and pleasant to work with.
Very expedient and professional crew, friendly as well. They kept all their commitments. Would recommend to anyone.
We had just moved into our home and started having HVAC issues. A technician came out within a few short hours. Mike Lilley did a thorough inspection and showed us all the issues. He was not only a highly skilled professional but very friendly and honest. We definitely feel like our home will be well cared for by…

Kyle Swearineng did a great job checking and cleaning our plumbing system. He was very thorough and gave suggestions on how to spot and prevent damage to our water heater and other appliances..

The three technician arrived on time Explain the task for day Answers question clearly Kept area clean throughout the day And at the end of day we did a walk around showing all items installed and how they operate and maintain them They did a great job
Tequila was very personable and professional. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about Thornton & Grooms offerings and how they would best meet our needs. She was a pleasure to work with and very gracious with our excitable dog!
Bought a new heating and cooling system 15 months ago. After an AC check up today, they want me to spend $500-1,100 to get parts fixed. What??? I should have kept my last unit. I’m totally floored that I was sold this system ($12,500) and a year later it’s a piece of junk. Will take my business elsewhere from now on.
Jason and his crew did an absolutely oustanding job and were polite and professional. Very happy with the service received!
Had a new furnace and new AC installed. Team of Tyler, Jack, and Noah were excellent! Pleasant, professional, confident, clean and thorough.
Today Cody helped us with a clogged kitchen sink. He was friendly and professional. He communicated clearly about every step he was going to take. He also protected the work area and cleaned up perfectly before he left. Excellent experience.
Both our technician Phil and our sales person Tequila made the experience of replacing our furnace and air conditioner a very pleasant one. They both took a long time explaining the problems with our system and presenting several options for replacement. Although no one wants to spend money on a new HVAC system I…
The Thornton and Grooms technicians are extraordinary. Their cheerful, dependable manner is just what I need whenever plumbing or heating/cooling problems occur.
Replacement specialist was knowledgeable, provided options, handled contract and financing efficiently, and even replaced my furnace filter for me. Technicians arrived on time the next morning, were courteous and respectful of my property, and explained the maintenance required. All in all, a very good experience and smooth installation.
Great crew, great job!

Tyler and Nolan did a great job in the installation. They told me exactly what they were going to do and simply executed it to perfection!
