"Tony and his crew were top of the line. My AC went down during this heatwave, and it was just one more thing in a bunch of complications I was having at the moment, the main one being that my son was having his wisdom teeth pulled, and I didn't want him to spend the night in a 100 degree house. I called Tony and he not only offered to make the job work time-wise, but he did it for the best price. Friendly, courteous, completely trustworthy. I can't recommend them enough."

Dave's Heating and Cooling is a local family business. I have over 20 years of experience. Specializing in furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductless systems, ducted systems, water heaters and gas lines.

"We did a full replacement of our natural gas furnace and AC unit that were 22 years old. The AC gave out after last summer's brutal heat, so it gave us a change to also upgrade the furnace to something more efficient and quieter. Dave was professional, highly competent, and very competitive on price. He also was easy to work with and to schedule with."

Residential remodel/repair and handyman service. Interior and exterior work. Basement remodel are our specialty. Work both by quote or hourly. 100% referral, word of mouth

"Where to start, I hired Jim at Evolution to do an exterior home remodel. This was three years ago. This included windows, siding, doors, roof, and gutters. Two jobs (the house roof and the gutters) were done by two other companies that he hired. The gutters are leaking and not doing their job at this point. They are not blocked nor do they have debris in them. The seams are failing. There are three spots currently. Also they put a downspout in the middle of the gutter and not on the end. So there’s issues associated with that. Jim was to do the siding, windows, screen doors, basement door, and carport roof. His costs were the best out of several contractors and he was recommended by a friend. We were drawn to another company but we decided to go with Evolution and Jim. So I mentioned the carport, we needed to redo it. I am a novice when it comes to building but I figured I could build the carport and have Jim roof it (originally it was going to be the other subcontracted roofers doing it). So I constructed, after doing research, the carport. Jim arrives and says it’s too flat and that it’s not safe to shingle it. so he says we could but corrugated plastic up in its place. I agree to that as I am assuming he knows what he’s talking about. He proceeds to do the job. The carport roof, the siding, the windows. I recently installed a patio with pavers right before he started his work here. I with my neighbors help did the work. My neighbor then installed a concrete border around the patio. At one point Jim and his crew rent a scissor lift and proceed to drive it (I think the sticker said 2500 pounds on the side of the machine) onto the patio to instal a window upstairs. They cracked the new concrete border and cracked about 10 pavers. They decided not to mention it to me, but I noticed it. I waited till the end of the day when Jim was sitting in his vehicle to leave and I approached him. He said they would fix it. Their fix was flipping the pavers over and not addressing the cracked concrete border. Disappointing but ok. So back to the carport which is my ultimate complaint. Jim completes all the projects including the plastic on the carport. Within days there are multiple leaks on the carport. Jim sends a helper out to put some caulk on it. The next day it’s leaking all along where the plastic meets the newly shingled roof. I contact Jim about the situation and he says “I’m washing my hands clean of this problem”. I plead with him to help address it and he sends me a email saying I screwed up the carport and that if an inspector saw it they would make me take it down. So I drop it. Over the next three years we are to the point of replacing the roof, yet the carport structure is solid. The plastic has shattered on the south side where it wasn’t connected properly, no flashing was installed so the water has damaged all of his supports causing them to warp, it leaks everywhere rendering the carport useless. Since Jim refused to address it I contacted another contractor to see what they could do. They came out and determined Jim botched the carport roof in several ways. No flashing, un proper cross beam placement, un proper overlap of plastic, un proper attachment to my structure. My structure was sound with no issues. So I reach out to Jim again about the issue and asked him repeatedly to come back out to see what was happening, in hopes he would fix it. It has been three years at this point. He doubled down with what he said before. Got upset that I asked another contractor to look at it (even though he refused too). He repeatedly asked me if I wanted him to come out. Which I reply with yes, over and over again. He never came. To be blunt he was incredibly rude. I’ll happily post what he wrote of the need arises. The bottom line to me is this. If I built the structure poorly (as he claimed… even though I think he wanted to initially do it but cost prevented it) why would you cover something that was built poorly. I would of said I can’t legally cover that structure or maybe even it’s built in a way that I can’t insure a leak free roof (again it was a matter of days I reported leaks to him). Secondly after I paid over 50,000 dollars to him, why wouldn’t you try to fix the roof just to be helpful especially since I contacted him within days. Thirdly why be a rude and condescending. Overall it was a huge let down. The new carport roof will cost about 3000. All his supports and the plastic top. The patio damage and the lack of care in fixing his issues he created. I would never recommend Jim or Evolution."

"“I would never do business again with Comfort Solutions and Heating. On Oct. 31, one of their servicemen came out to clean our furnace. Three hours later, it quit working. A technician came out again November 1 and installed a new circuit board for $1.065.33 but our furnace still didn't work. In his invoice, he noted that we wanted a new gas furnace since ours was 17 years old, but still came out again November 5 and installed a gas valve which cost $550. Finally Comfort Solutions realized we were looking for a bid proposal. Their final offer was $7,159.19 which didn't include an air filter. I told them we wanted to seek other bid proposals. Comfort Solutions did offer to give us a credit of $1,083 for the circuit board and gas valve. A very reputable firm in business for 92 years, Robber & Sons gave us a proposal for $4,860 including an air filter and a new thermostat. I contacted Brian Adams, the owner of Comfort Solutions asking him to either match their price or give us the credit for the circuit board and gas valve, sending him an email and mailing a letter to him. Five days later and he has yet to contact us. I can't tell you how disappointed I am at Mr. Adams. My wife and I are senior citizens on limited income.. I'm pleased we found another furnace company that isn't overcharging us.”"

"made an appointment because the price quoted to me to diagnose my issue was $89 plus tax, if any repairs are made that would be additional. technician spent 15 min in attic to determine nothing was wrong and then spent remaining time speculating what it could be. After all was said and nothing done my bill came to $307. Technician indicated that it was an extended diagnostic visit. I was shocked and appalled! No tools were used, no repairs were done just the technician speculating on my dime. Contacted the main office and Eva said she would refund me $89 by check. It's gouging and dishonest. If I had known i was being charged by the hour, I guarantee he would have been out of my house 20 mins after he arrived. Im considering contacting the BBB and the attorney general if this is not resolved satisfactorily. I have no problem paying the diagnostics charge of $89 plus tax but not the extended portion."

Heat pump installations and replacements FAQs

Heat pumps rely on evaporation and condensation processes. The unit transfers heat through the system via a compressed refrigerant. The compressor within the pump circulates the refrigerant through two coils. The first coil evaporates the refrigerant and absorbs warmth from the air. The refrigerant then passes to the second coil, where it condenses, and the unit releases the absorbed heat.

A well-installed and well-maintained heat pump lasts an average of 12 to 20 years. Routine filter changes, annual tune‑ups, and prompt repairs help the equipment reach the upper end of that range, while skipped maintenance or poor installation can shorten its life and raise long‑term costs. Ask your heat pump installation pro for maintenance recommendations so you can get the maximum benefit from your unit.

Heat pumps are most effective in regions where winter lows remain above approximately 40°F. Efficiency starts to drop below that point and falls off sharply near 25°F. If you live in a colder area, look for a model with a high Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) and plan on supplemental heat during deep freezes to keep energy use in check.

The biggest drawbacks are the upfront cost and poor cold-weather performance. Installation can require electrical upgrades or duct changes, and once temperatures fall well below freezing, the unit may need help from a furnace or electric resistance coils. Factor in those add‑ons, along with routine maintenance, when you weigh the long‑term savings against the initial investment.
