"Perfectly! Bill and his associate arrived when they said they would, diagnosed the problem, left to pick up the required part, and returned with the part and installed it, all without a hitch. I particularly liked the way Bill checked to be sure all the functions of the furnace and air conditioner were working before he finished. This is a top-notch service company!"

"I was out of town when my air conditioner stopped working. My mother called 2 companies to check it out. The repair men were interested in selling us a new unit not fixing it. I found NT Electric & HVAC online through Home Advisor while I was out of town. The company had good reviews. I called Nathan and scheduled an appointment. He assessed the problem and fixed it! I would highly recommend Nathan and his company. He does what s best for the customer. His prices are fair and reasonable. I would use him again."

"Very in detail description of what needed to get done and the why behind it. Awesome job, professional, answered every question on why my central AC was strong on first floor but very weak in second floor. Air handler moved from bottom floor to upstairs attic, higher capacity central AC and all ducts changed. Beautiful work done in 3 days with detailed report of what was done. Fair price for the job done. Before and after."

"Very knowledgeable, professional, and great customer service! Penguin, serviced our central AC & Heat and they explained everything to us before performing the work. They also replaced our moldy insulation in our attic. They packed and transported the old moldy insulations, ensuring that the mold does not spread, and they left our house free of any mess. I'd recommend Penguin Heating and Air to anybody in need of AC/Heat service, repair, or installation."

"Awesome, truly 1st rate job. We needed a complete attic system install, the works basically. After 3 other quotes I was kinda dreading another. But, right from the start, it was quick friendly and professional, I pretty much made up my mind right after He left. Riley and Brandon, showed up right on time. These two fella's ripped out the old one and installed the new equipment, with two adults and a 3 year old toddler, still sleeping. nicely done. we were expecting a 2 day install, which worried my wife, since our 3 yo grand-daughter is a Special needs heart patient and with temps expecting to hit triple digits the next day. Riley and Brandon got the OK, to knock it out in 1 day. They were there until 9:30 at night, to complete the install, start up, charged it up and explained the whole system to my wife. You guys rocked,"

"Got a great product for the $$ I spent, the installers did a great job and were very professional and took the extra time to make sure my system provided adequate air supply to each of the registers in my home. Had on miscommunication on when the workers would show up, but it was handled and all is good."
