"ACS installed a new Bryant heat pump + furnace. The equipment is high quality and the team was knowledgeable, flexible, and willing to answer all my questions. They accommodated a change in scope on the day of install from just installing a heat pump to installing a furnace + heat pump combo. This set the team back a few hours for the last minute parts request, but they powered through a very long day and stayed until the job was finished. All customer service goes directly through the owner operator. Originally this seemed like a plus, but I think they would benefit from support staff. I needed to edit and downgrade this review after a few negative experiences. Some changes are related to issues noticed after the install. The unit was not secured to the pad outdoors and also was not attached to the house. Holes cut into the corner of the garage slab in order to pass through the lines were not patched, leaving a break in the envelope. Mark promised to follow up on both of these, but he did not send anyone out to take care of this. Mark also directly promised that our install would qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon incentives for $3000, when in fact it is clear after speaking directly with Energy Trust representatives that our install did not qualify for any amount of rebate. This promise was echoed throughout the quote and the install process. I believe that the lack of a support staff is causing some shortcutting or disorganization when it comes to managing some of these details - I would prefer to assume that ACS did not know the details of the incentive rather than that they purposefully deceived me, but I dont feel comfortable recommending them given these circumstances."

"This company was referred to us by a co-worker. We had 4 separate units that needed repair on our commercial building. The service was fast, professional, and courteous. Most important, the price was very reasonable! I will continue to use V & E for any future HVAC issues and would highly recommend this company to troubleshoot HVAC repairs!"

"I had to call them to come out a second time to replace the original sump pump they installed. I also had to have them keep their promise to install drainage pipes in the ditches they had dug out the first time."

"Jay Schiedler is the owner , and he did the install. The job was completed perfectly. He is very professional. He also did the job in a timely manner, and offered a very fair price. He is a younger guy, probably late thirties, and I can tell that his parents raised him right! I highly recommend Impact Heating and Cooling."
