What customers said about heating system installation
New furnace installed. Fray and Chris H were polite and friendly. They worked efficiently and the furnace is working great at least right now.
Cool Air Mechanical did a great job of replacing my furnace and HVAC systems. I am a Costco junkie and this company has a relationship with them. The two-man team of Abner and Ivan was on time, very professional, efficient, and courteous with my property.
Erice did a great job with the seasonal maintenance on my HVAC system this fall. He cleaned and tested the whole system and prepped the furnace for the cooler months. We're ready for the winter cold!
We had two furnaces that were reaching the end of their life. We have used Expo Heating and Cooling for several years and they have given us exceptional service. On this occasion because of the new HVAC rules and legislation I asked them to quote me two furnaces and one condenser in December before the new rules…
As a long time Costco member I am please with the customer service I received from Alex Ramos. I am in market for new HVAC and his calm non pushy approach is very much appreciated as I chose a vendor for this fairly expensive home improvement! Thanks Alex for your professionalism!
Smooth and easy installation. Kennie was a pleasure to deal with as he explained everything in language we understood.
