MASTER HVAC License We take great pride in offering the best possible experience with our expertise, quality, and customer service. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our clients; we take great care to work and communicate with everyone in a professional manner. It is our mission to exceed our clients expectations by providing excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, from the start of each project to its completion. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with X&M Heating and Cooling! From start to finish, Richard was beyond responsive, professional, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. You don’t always expect replacing major home systems to feel stress-free, but Richard made the whole process smooth and even enjoyable. They replaced our AC/Furnace (Condenser, Coil Pack, and Heater) as well as our hot water tank—a big job—and the crew knocked it out of the park. Everything was installed with care, attention to detail, and a clear pride in their workmanship. Richard took the time to explain what was happening every step of the way, which gave us total peace of mind. What stood out most, though, was the responsiveness. Whenever I had a question, Richard was quick to answer, patient, and genuinely friendly—it felt like working with a trusted neighbor rather than just a contractor. If you’re looking for a team that does top-notch work - don't look any further."

"Pros: did a kitchen faucet replacement and valve replacement. work was great and well done. Technician very friendly and professional. Cost a little high but not outside range that AI says it would be. Cons: scheduling/dispatch - missed the window on day 1 and didn't say anything. I reached out and found they were behind for the day. Moved to next day. They were right on time at the top of the window"

He went over a few issues on our older unit he found during his inspection. I never felt pressured to have the work done and so glad he resolved them on the same day. He definitely went out of his way doing a great job. He explained everything to me that he was doing and also answering all the questions I had. The price was reasonable. Will definitely call Appleton Campbell when needing home repairs, this is our 3rd project they’ve taken care of. Thanks again"
