We had a partially collapsed sewer drain, discovered after the drain specialist cleaned it out and filmed the collapsed portion. They advised restoration with a "cure in place" pipe. Billy and crew who did that day-long job were professional, respectful of our time and property.
The company is the best I have ever looked to for hvac and plumbing related service. Our air conditioner needed replacement Eric sales consultant kept it simple and professional and personable as he explained the consideration for our purchase. Customer service is a real positive. We always trust the work they do. Thomas is a real pro.
Several years of quality, quick work by all T &G technicians! Ricardo, Jeff W. and Tony Paterno have been especially great! Customer since 2019
Paid $240 for a care club membership. They came out to do my ac check and charged $322 (that was with a discount for being a member) to spend 20 minutes to remove panels and hose my ac filters off. They over charge drastically when I thought being a loyal club member would save money it only gave them the ability…
Had a recheck by Mitchell, the furnace tech. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Thornton and Grooms. Also had Alex Dixon install whole house purifier. He was very professional and did an excellent job. I think Thornton & Grooms are the best!!!
Love these folks! This is the 3rd time I’ve had them out for my old plumbing issues and they are always kind and amazing. Great communication, amazing customer service. Can’t recommend them enough.
Provided professional and attention to detail services. Did not leave job until we were satisfied! Would recommend!
Great experience, very professional clean and easy to work with. Alex was great!
From the estimate through installation of my new water softener, the people from Thornton and Grooms have been prompt, professional, communicative, and courteous. They have explained things clearly and not tried to upsell more than I need. They have exceeded my expectations. I’ll return to them for future needs.
1/7/26 Devin is polite and respectful. I appreciate his willingness to help and expertise. 3/22/24 Mike is knowledgeable, informative, and uses easy to understand language. He was able to diagnose my sewage and plumbing issues immediately. He is honest and demonstrates integrity in his work. He went through the…

Very professional and thorough. Answered all questions and offered several options. I would recommend Steve Pouloit and Thornton and Grooms.
Thorton and Grooms continue to impress us with their professionalism and job well done. We have used them for plumbing and heating and pleased every time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Fantastic Experience! I had Zack come out to give me quotes for some electrical work, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Gavin Goodin is amazing! Listened to the issue at hand and double checked everything needed for the job to proceed before the quote was presented.

John T., Jose A., and Ned S. did a phenomenal job installing our entirely new HVAC system and were efficient, orderly, friendly, and thorough!

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.
Jonathan Wellman was outstanding in diagnosing the problems and was thorough in his accuracy. Such a great professional asset to Thornton & Grooms.
Jonathon W. was excellent. Arrived on time and was polite, professional, and thorough. He took his time, explained everything, and was what I thought be a perfectionist. He was actually a joy to have in our home. I would ask for and welcome him again. He is a true asset and representative to Thorton & Grooms.
We needed to replace our AC Unit. Thornton & Grooms did a Great Job. All fazes of the experience where positive. The phone call to set up a quote, to Andre the sales person, and to Josh and Ned for the installation. It could not of been a better experience. I will recommend you guys to everyone.

Brian was an informative person. Answered our questions and we all had a pleasurable appointment.

Because of that everything was quickly done and…
Incredible service, very professional and friendly. We were so satisfied with them we didn’t even get any other quotes, they’ve earned our business. Remember HVAC installation is as important if not more important than the brand of HVAC!
The plumber (Zeke) and service that was provided at my home was excellent.
Excellent service from thorough examination and explanations of possible solutions. Found a few price reductions available to use.
Luke was pleasant professional and knowledgeable persistent in getting job done and accepting challenge as it was not easy work
UPDATE: Needed to have additional work done and Todd was called out to my home. He too was fantastic! Not only was that job done to perfection he found a potential problem with the main shut off/frozen open. Instead of waiting for disaster we decided to have it fixed. We appreciated the heads up to make an informed…
Nick and Brian did a fine job installing a new furnace and explaining how to use it
Worst service or maybe I should say no service I have ever had
Very professional. Walked me through the important steps during and after installation. Pleasant and friendly
The guys did awesome work. They were very efficient and personable. When you think customer service is gone these three showed me that it is still here. Thank you.
Zack did a great job. Very pleased!
Thorston and Grooms sent 3 technicians to install a new ac unit and furnace. They worked 13 hours non stop to install and troubleshoot the project until they finished and commissioned everything. Great job
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.
Steve helped put a very stressful experience from the factory default that leaked all of the coolant out from my air conditioner on some of the hottest days this year and ended it on a positive note.
Good work. It was unfortunate that he had to come to make right what his people did not complete.
Jesse and Caleb were the absolute best !!! They were extremely professional they explained everything step by step before they even started. They cleaned up and it was like they were never ever here. Thornton and Grooms definitely saved us !!!
We have been very satisfied Thornton & Grooms customers for approximately eight years now. Most recently Ryan Mitchell came to our home to upgrade our furnace filter to an electrostatic filter, which they had also installed for us in a previous home. Ryan asked if we had or had ever considered the benefits of a…
Everything was explained perfectly and I was shown how to take care or the furnace and AC unit and the timeframe to check. They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Thank you and Great job guys!
we had a water heater replaced, 6 water shut off's replaced, 1 gas valve replaced, 1 hose bib replaced, and 1 beautiful Toto toilet installed. Throughout the entire process I was kept in contact with the company, from my 1st contact to the follow up. They arrived with in their estimated time ( actually 5 minutes…
Professional service and knowledgeable plumber. Insured, Took special to wear protective foot covering and also placed coverings on the floor from the front door to the basement. Cleaned up after work. Very Courteous!
Billy and Stephanie were amazing to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, detailed, and answered all of my questions. They were very apologetic when things didn’t go as planned on day one. They deserve a big round of applause! Thanks!
As always very professional and Sarah was informative.
Josh is patient, analytical, and prepared. He did a great job!
Best service I have ever experienced Thx to Steve and Tom. Truly a company that cares and the workmanship is stellar!!

This entire team, is completely organized, professional, and great communicators. We stumbled upon them using Google reviews, and are very relieved to have done so. Highly recommended.
I have never met more professional and respectful individuals. If you want a job done correctly, quickly, and quality work, you need to seek them out, especially Christian and his crew. I couldn't be happier with them .
3/14/23 William G was on time and professional when he came for the furnace check. Also, he mentioned additional services offered for the furnace and air quality. UPDATE: Before Mike left on Thursday he contacted the office so I could schedule an appointment for the same day with Andre Callahan a replacement…
Outlet for humidifier tube adjust check for water leaks
Thorton and grooms gave me a realistic quote upfront. The salesman was honest. The other quotes I received were high with a promise of a lower price if I signed today. The installation crew was on time and explained the process in detail. They were professional and cleaned up after the job was done. I will use…
Sarah did an excellent job. We will ask for her in the future for all our plumbing needs
Ryan Thomas and Nick Garrett did a great job on the install! Very happy with the work they did! Highly recommend them and the team! Keep up the good work!
Kyle was great! Cleaned our furnace professional, informative and courteous. Nice job.
Andrew did a fine job - even got a replacement heater quickly and courteously when the first one had a dent in a prominent position.
I cannot thank Thornton & Grooms enough for coming out quickly (same day) when my furnace went out, and for getting me a new system installed the next day. Joe Blake came out to diagnose the problem and was professional, punctual, kind and friendly. Greg Sauchuk came out to coordinate a new system and was the…
Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, listened to concerns, not pushy.
Great crew as always!
We had to replace our furnace and AC. Sergio and his team did a fantastic job. I have not worked with more professional individuals. They were knowledgeable, friendly and they worked hard all day to install our new systems. Highly recommend this company. The customer services is over the top!
The crew was very nice, very professional, prompt and clean. I was allowed to inspect all work done with a complete walkthrough before signing off on the job. I'm very satisfied and will continue to use T&G for my future HVAC needs.
Christian and team did a terrific job! Kept us updated on progress and did a great job finishing up the job.
Sergio was early than time giving which was a plus. Very professional and polite. Also explain everything and the services
Didnt take long and the installers were very professional.
Patrick Somers came out today to install a new pump on my tankless hot water install! On time I was very pleased!
I use this company for all of my plumbing needs. Tequila was excellent at helping the process of upgrading my furnace and AC units.
After moving into a new house, I called T&G for a sump pump replacement. AJ arrived and was very knowledgeable. While walking around he sniffed out multiple gas leaks coming from joints near the HVAC and water heater. To be safe, he called the HVAC division. They ran tests and detected multiple cracks in the heat…
Tequila informed me of my options, provided clarity, made the experience fun. I’m excited for my new installations and learning more about how these units work. As an uninformed consumer it was helpful feeling heard by a Tequila. Kudos
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Thornton and Grooms have helped us many times during an emergency. It’s a relief to know they’re available.
Josue Zavala - Did an outstanding job tested everything answered all questions explained everything Double checked everything tested All phases of the furnace install even my current AC which was not one of the things being replaced but he made sure it ran fine thank you! would highly recommend him!
Justin was great. When he showed up to first check out our hot water tank he got right to work on trying to slice the issue. Unfortunately we had to get a new hot water tank he pulled up 4 or 5 different options and the payment plans all straight forward. Once we got all the paperwork done he booked us for the next…
Very professional and knowledgeable Thank you Thornton for sending professionals to do the right job and I recommend others going through Thornton and grooms.
We had Thornton & Grooms replace our 22 year old water heater after having them in to do our HVAC system last winter. The staff was professional in providing options (we went with a tankless model) and the installers were very professional. I highly recommend this company.
Great!
Our service from Thornton & Grooms has been consistently excellent! Thank You!
I always try to do plumbing myself, but when I dont have time or i have trouble this is who I choose. They aren't cheap, but any professional business that is insured and does solid work.
Everything was explained and demonstrated. A.J.Demasellis is an absolute jewel. He is the best.
A very detailed inspection. Mike is courteous and professional.
Everything about this company is awesome! They replaced my furnace, AC and Water heater. They were the most professional people I've ever dealt with. The communication, work ethic, and friendliness was great! They cleaned up everything when they were done and took all of the old pieces with them. Would totally recommend Thornton and Grooms!
Had them out to replace our softener, well tank and hot water heater. Work was done in a timely fashion and they did a great job.
Very pleased with Joe's evaluation for replacing my HVAC system.
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great job.
Excellent service! Timely & thorough! Lucas was outstanding!! I highly recommend Thorton & Grooms.
Everyone was professional, courteous, and answered my questions about all of the work I was looking to have done. This included re-piping the entire house (hot and cold), updating some drain pipes, installation of a new toilet, and relocation of a few items. I received multiple quotes from Justin based on the…
Marquis Farmer and team came out today to finish up the sewer repair process in closure of the hole in our basement floor. The group was awesome in the time they took and cleanup!!! Thorton and Grooms keep putting out the good teams!!
I had T&G install booster fans in my 2nd floor HVAC ducts. The installers were very professional and did great cleaning up after themselves. I will use and recommend T&G for any and all HVAC needs.
Installed new furnace and thermostat
Julio and Dan are awesome. Very professional!
We've used Thornton and grooms now for a couple years their service is awesome The people are very nice and professional they put booties on and clean up their mess when they're done. And they never try to sell you something that you don't need totally trust them.
Great job.
This company is awesome. I bought a new house in January that has since needed a full HVAC replacement, multiple water/gas shutoff repairs, and valve installs. The technicians (Mason, Luke, Mike, Tequila) are extremely professional, do top-quality work, and try to save you money where possible. I am a part of the…
Walter was very knowledgeable and helpful and honest. He explained what he had to do to fix the problem and did it promptly. He also fixed a leak for me without charging me for it. Thank you and please keep it up. Thank you also for directing me to the right people for the job. He is also honest and tried to fix the…
As of today June 17th 2022, we had a different tech by the name of Walter, whom by the way is an AMAZING TECH! Thornton and Grooms is extremely lucky to have him as an employee! He had to come back out to our home to fix what the last employee did! I will give WALTER a FIVE STAR REVIEW! I hope they see your worth…
Thornton & Grooms sent a professional crew to do a full furnace and A/C replacement and they got it done all in one day with no hassles and no up-selling. I'm very pleased with their service and their people.
Wow what an awakening of what customer service should be! We felt like VIPs the entire process and the crew were extremely professional. I felt extremely confident in our tech's knowledge and still cannot believe how fast they got everything installed. A well oiled machine!
I'm in the need for a new furnace plus an AC. I had the great pleasure of meeting Brian Marshall, a replacement Specialist. Brian, was polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. he was able to answer my questions and explain my options. He made it easy for me to understand. We had an awesome conversation. Thank you Brian!!! Shirley
I am happy with installation
Loved doing business with these folks. All of them and I dealt with several were professional, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Good experience.
I had service technician Tony Paterno on the job and a job well done!! Needed a water line installed for a new refrigerator. BBuy was originally to install with delivery. But BBuy won't go in a Crawl Space and not a job you'd want them to do anyways. Good Thing, I"m a home owner and needed the professional service…
Very nice and polite young men. Even though problem wasn't solved today, I'm sure that when camera man comes tomorrow, it wiil be. On 3-11-2020 Guy Cline fixed our toilet, he was very polite and very informative. Thank You
Awesome business. Everyone was very polite and knowledgeable.... from reception, dispatch, and the technicians. Technicians that helped me out were- Tony Paterno, Patrick Somers, and Walter Stone. They were all wonderful, and worked great as a team. They replaced my water heater, and found what was leaking! Great work.
We had a problem with the thermostat for our in-floor electrical heating system. Jeff installed the new thermostat without hesitation. He also helped with the water circulation of our hot water. We will definitely ask for Jeff the next time. He is a Master Plumber.
They were the consummate professionals. Everything was stellar! A great team, polite, courteous, on time, professional, clean. I am sure they were not the "cheapest" but I could NOT be more satisfied with my experience!
I've spent more money with this company than I'd like but it has been worth every penny. Professional and thorough. They upsell a bit but their work and attention to detail is awesome. When they finish a job, I tell them I never want to see them again, but I know I will. You get what you pay for Thanks Mike and Tracy
Very good,guys where all very friendly and answered all of my many questions.
great job done !!!
