As a team of fully trained and experienced professionals, we know everything there is to know about HVAC units and understand the importance of quality work. Our highly trained heating and air conditioning technician take their work seriously and stand proudly behind every completed job. We strive always to give it one hundred percent to make sure your HVAC work is done skillfully, efficiently, and on time. To achieve this aim, we use only the very best tools, equipment, and materials. We also conduct a rigorous inspection after our work to ensure optimal performance before we consider the job done. Great work, reasonable prices, and friendly workers: it's no wonder our clients say we're the best of all HVAC companies around.

"Bottom Line: This is the second time we have used this company, and they again did excellent work for a reasonable price, and more importantly, built a huge amount of trust with the customer. Communication: Scheduling the initial estimate was easy and timely communication continued throughout the process. Scoping Work: This is where Salvation really excels, primarily because of the vast knowledge of Ernesto. The installation of the vessel sink and faucet was pretty straight forward, but the associated plumbing issues were not. I had replaced an old built-in cabinet with an antique standalone. When I removed it, I discovered the original discharge pipe angled into the room just above the floor. Other contractors wanted to cut through the bottom of the antique cabinet likely compromising its stability. Ernesto opened the floor and discovered the original builder could have simply notched the support beam keeping the discharge pipe vertical. In addition, when I removed the toilet to replace the seal, I discovered the flange was cracked at the bolt insert preventing me from getting a good seal when tightening. Other contractors wanted to cut through the basement ceiling and completely replace the entire flange – mind you, the lower flange was in excellent shape. Ernesto instead wanted to add a thin metal flange to fasten to the existing PVC one to provide bolt stability. This in and of itself saved thousands of dollars. Quality of Work: Frankly, 75-80% of contractors fail here for three primary reasons: a horrible handoff of details from the estimator to the onsite project foreman, project foreman and/or workers making assumptions vice asking the customer, and lack of quality detailed work. You do not have that problem with Salvation as it’s a small family business, and Ernesto is involved during every part of the process. His expertise and detailed work are second-to-none. The end product was beautiful. Pricing: Price was the best of three highly ranked Angie’s List companies. Salvation’s expertise, practical scoping, willingness to explain the details of the project, timely communication, and excellent work took the hassle out of this project. Salvation has become our one-stop-shop for all plumbing requirements."

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."

"Will never use or recommend John C. Flood whose business strategy is fleecing customers. First thing to know is they send a link from an outfit that filters bad reviews once you pay, so only the good ones are actually posted. IGNORE the amount of positive ratings, the bad ones get lost. Second thing to know is this is one of the many ?local? companies that probably formerly provided great service at a reasonable cost unfortunately bought by a private equity company to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the turnip to benefit themselves while delivering no value to customers. I had an electrical issue for a tenant occupied property. Tenants are good and try to figure easy issues out, but could not. I suspected it was an easy issue and scheduled a 12-5 window with John C. Flood to check it out. They said a $99 service charge for a visit. Problem #1 - I get a text and phone call before 8 a.m. they?re on the way. Keep in mind this needed to be scheduled with tenants and it was schedul"

"They charged $98 to come give me an estimate for swapping our a shower valve cartridge, which was fine, but the pricing they provided was completely unreasonable, $1,000. They were unwilling to provide any detail for the price. I ended up buy the part myself for $30 and replaced it in 30 minutes."

"I called to get an inspection done on my AC unit and was quoted $90 for the inspection plus $120 an hr for ADDITIONAL hrs. I ASKED when do I know when the “additional hrs start”, He stated that the tech would let me know once the inspection was done and then at that time he would let me know if there was work that needed to be fixed or if there was nothing then the service would end and I would only have to pay the $90. They charged me $210 for the inspection. I called and requested that we both listen to the call (Because all calls are recorded) They played the call, heard what the rep said and then stated they would get back to me. When I finally reached them again (they never called me back), they stated I would not get a refund, then replayed the call cutting out the part when the rep stated clearly that the service was only $90. They not only GASLIGHTED me, but they altered the recording. $120 may not matter to most but it sure matters to me."
