Mr. Whitaker received our plea for help about 4:30 in the afternoon during a brutal heat wave here in Portland. He came to our house that same night, after finishing two other customer calls. He arrived at 9:30 PM and stayed until the job was done at 11:00. The temp in our house was 95 degrees at 11:00 a night...and we were so happy to see the thermometer falling as soon as Ron got the A/C working. We were able to get a good nights sleep and survive the heat wave. He explained what was wrong in terms we understood and had the part we needed on his truck. He was friendly and professional despite what had to have been a very long day for him.

I am so very impressed with the service I received from Ron. Super-nice guy, honest, gave me an affordable estimate on a difficult project, and took care of it the next day! I found Service Magic Wednesday, Ron came and gave me an estimate that very day, and did the job on Thursday! I have tried to get this job done for more than a year, calling people in the yellow pages, finding locater services online (Craig's list) with no luck. With one click on my computer Wedesday, Service Magic found the perfect HVAC guy for me in minutes. I can't tell you how completely surprised and deliighted I am with this whole process

ServiceMagic was supposed to forward my project request to four service professionals within 72 hours however they only forwarded it to 1 service professional (Ron's Heating & Cooling). I was promptly contacted by Ron himself the same day and he offered to come out the next day to review my gas furnace problem. I was satisfied by Ron's work. He was friendly, honest, and professional and quickly fixed my problem after replacing a part inside my furnace. My only complaint is he is not prompt about being on time after an appt. time is set, however he did follow-up with a phone call to inform me he was running late. I would recommend Ron.

I called Ron after our furnace igniter went bad. He immediately sent someone out to replace it. Since he were already considering upgrading to A/C for the summer, his employee sold us on doing it all at that time. I believe he gave us a fair price for all of it, so we scheduled the install and his he installed a temp. igniter free of charge.Ron and a crew of 2 others helped him install. They were very nice and prompt. The system works great now and we are very happy with it. The only negative things were the fact that we felt a little pressure to buy the system and he had to come back a few times to fix a few things, which were not his fault.

Ron was very proactive in calling, as they all were, but he also asked enough qualifying questions before coming to quote the job, that he was able to do the job while here. And his quote was $75 less than the next lowest. I'm thrilled with his work and just wish I had more for him to do.

Excellent experience with this company. They were on time, both for the initial appointment and the job itself, and their price was both fair and competitive. I was very impressed that they were able to complete our job from quote to finish in only 24 hours. I highly recommend them.

My technician, Karl, was prompt, friendly and very experienced at his job. He completed the work promptly and pointed out the pros and cons of my 15 year old furnace that was installed by the builder. I would recommend the Whitaker group to others.

EXCELLENT! Our furnace started smelling like there was an electrical fire or something smoldering. I submitted an emergency service on Service Magic at ~8:15 at night, within 2 minutes of hitting submit I got a call from this company and they came right out. Very professional, friendly and personable. Would absolutely recommend these folks to colleagues and friends.

They called immediately after I put my request in to your website. They were polite and courteous. They came to my house as arranged and diagnosed the problem. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could not fix it, but overall, I would recommend this company based on their professionalism, prompt service and knowledgabilitly.

Carl was on time and very courteous. He explained to me what was wrong with my furnace and allowed me to look on as he replaced the defective part. He had some good ideas on upgrading other parts of my HVAC system in my 40 year old house.

He quickly responded to our dysfunctional furnace and replaced it on the same day it was diagnosed as non-repairable. Follow up and installation was very satisfactory.

Ron was friendly and not pushy. He did the installation himself, along with a helper. The final price matched his quote. I liked the price, the quality of the heat pump, and his responsiveness to adjustment issues. I didn't like his lack of punctuality, and his somewhat unfamiliarity with operational issues. Fortunately, he knew who to call to get the system adjusted.
