"We couldn't be more pleased with the recent install of our new air conditioner. All members of the organization were efficient, professional, and thorough. Even though our install was in winter, the installers left no trace by using carpets to cover the areas in our home where they would be working. The installer kept us informed at every step of the process. We are so happy that we don't have to wait for the old unit to stop working. We are ready for summer!"

"After a no call/no show by another technician (during 3 weeks of 90+ temps, a sick spouse, 3 tired dogs & a pandemic), I called Hvac Doctor after finding a referral on Angie's List. My call was promptly returned & I was honestly told I would be contacted if an opening presented itself. Within a few hours & much to my delight after a restless night of sleep, I was called & my central air was promptly & accurately repaired. These guys are top notch professionals as well as knowledgeable. Hvac Doctor is now going to be my new ongoing routine maintenance technician as well. Search no more, call Hvac Doctor! Can I give them 10 stars?"

"Iâ ve used them for both a furnace and central AC replacement in the last year. Their professionalism, courtesy and responsiveness exceeded my expectations. We had issues with furnace after install (not Hoffmanâ s fault) and they responded politely and quickly each time to get the system right. I just plain old trust these guys"

"Freier's provided an extensive estimate and took a great deal of time explaining how the system works, what to expect with the install, what the estimated cost savings and payback period would be.  They came out several times to discuss which method of coil installation would be best for our situation (vertical or horizontal) and they explained who would be here and when. <br /> When the big day arrived, Ryan, who was the point person for the project, came out to meet us when the drillers showed up.During the project, he was very responsive to my concerns and also with an issue that came up in which the drillers couldn't frill as deep as they needed to (due to the depth of our well/water table).  Rather than forging ahead as originally planned and risk contaminating our drinking water, Freiers worked with the drillers to drill an additional 2 holes to compensate for the loss of area due to the shallower holes.  <br /> Once the coils were installed, Freiers did a fantastic job getting the geo pump and electrical connections installed inside the house with the installation of an off-peak meter and connections from way across the house....they needed to do extensive re-routing of the eletrical for this but they made it work and were so pleasant!  They always showed up on time and worked diligently for several days until all was completed. <br /> Once the system was ready to go, Freiers spent the needed time with us to explain how to use the controls and to understand what all the blinking lights meant and when to call in case of a problem.  About 6 months after the system was installed, something went awry with the geo pump.  I called and they came out immediately, determined that there was a bad circuit board somewhere, and replaced it free of charge within the same day.  The geo sustem works great, has saved us money, and I know that we are always 1 phone call away from Freier's if problems arise!  Excellent company. <br />"

"Tony at Plugz Electric was professional, knowledgeable, and so thorough. He helped us make the best choice for fan installation and ended up adding a third job to convert from fluorescent lighting to LED in our kitchen. The new fans and lighting had made a HUGE difference in our home and will be using Plugz Electric for future projects."

"I requested quotes from 3 local area plumbing and heating contractors as well as the company selling through Costco. <br /> Rick from Neighborhood Plumbing came to the house, did a thorough review of the current system, as well as my additional requirements for improvements to the system and promptly delivered a quote. (Not on the spot, but within 24 hours). <br /> Their quote also contained some optional features that were quoted separately. They also provided me with the option to select the brand of the furnace and air conditioner along with pros/cons of the options. <br /> Neighborhood's quote was not the lowest, but it provided me with the most flexibility for my situation. I made my final decision about the options I wanted, contacted Rick with the final configuration and a target price. He went to work for me and wrote up a final quote. We met at the local coffee shop where I signed the quote and it was done. <br /> We scheduled the installation for about 10 - 14 days later to match my schedule and to allow delivery time for some of the specialty items I had requested. We knew it would be a two day project. <br /> On day 1, Rich and Brandon arrived on site to remove the old furnace and AC units and install the new furnace and AC units. They also reworked the ducting. <br /> On day 2, Greg and Brandon arrived to replace the dampers, install all the controllers for the new zone system as well as the thermostats and the humidifier.  They ended up finding a bad circuit board on the zone controller and needed order a new one and come back later to finish the job.  (this did not affect the operation of the system) <br /> Rick came back a few days later with the replacement card, finished everything up.  He did a final test of the freon levels in the Air Conditioner and completed the necessary paperwork for warranties and rebates for me. <br /> Every interaction with all 3 of these men was very professional.  They cleaned up everything each day.  They made sure I was happy with the day's progress prior to leaving and communicated very well throughout the project. <br /> I would highly recommend Neighborhood Plumbing and Heating to anyone looking for a fantastic company to work with. <br /> P.S. My first experience with Neighborhood Plumbing was in February when I was house sitting for a neighbor and their furnace went out.  I contact Neighborhood Plumbing, Brandon arrived within an hour and fixed it up. <br /> <br /> <br />"
