Lakeside Heating & Air Conditioning

I highly recommend Lakeside Heating & AC, which is a family owned company. I received quotes for a Lennox heating and cooling system from four HVAC companies. I chose Lakeside because the price was right ($2,000 less than the next closest bid) and Tony was more knowledgeable than the other sales people that I spoke to. He is one of the company owners and there was no high pressure sales pitch. Also, I appreciate that he put together several quotes for differing levels of HVAC products for 2 different brands. There were several combinations of heating and AC equipment to choose from. The price also included an instant credit for the Xcel rebate. No surprises, the final cost was exactly what was quoted. The units were installed in two days by Chael and Derek who were fantastic. They gave courtesy calls that they were on their way and they showed up on time. To protect my wood floor and carpet, they placed drop cloths on the floor to make a pathway from the basement to the front door. They were polite, extremely efficient, and professional. I appreciate that they didn’t seem bothered to answer my questions. Each day they cleaned up after themselves leaving the area spotless. Lakeside was responsive by phone and email and everyone I spoke to (Bill, Tony, and Holly) were polite and pleasant. Everything went very smoothly from the initial appointment with Tony, the installation, and finally the city inspection. The inspector said that Lakeside did a nice job installing the furnace and AC unit. The new Lennox system was installed 5 weeks ago and I am extremely happy with the performance. This high efficiency system is so quiet that I don’t realize that it’s running.

I had a new furnace and hot water heater installed yesterday. I definitely recommend Lakeside Heating and Air Conditioning, Tony took the time to explain all of the options and answered all of my questions. I was very impressed with the installation team C.G. and D.G. They were very helpful in explaining everything to me.

Absolute professionals. No short cuts. Tony and Mick were a great team. Cognizant of COVID protocols. Protected flooring. Answered all my questions, explained thoroughly systems functionality. Great job guys!

We selected Lakeside due to its Angie's List rating and the many glowing customer reviews, and were not disappointed. Tony showed up promptly for the site visit, explained several options and gave us a bid right in line with what I had expected based on my research. I was impressed that he quizzed me on possible discounts I might qualify for that I would not have thought to ask about. Better, Lakeside assumed the risk and delay of the Excel Energy rebate by taking it "off the top"of the price. The installation team showed up the next morning, right on time, and were done by 2:00. When the Westminster Inspector came, he mentioned that Lakeside installations were always done well, and they had an excellent reputation with the city.

The entire staff did a wonderful job!

Lakeside were an excellent company to work with throughout the process. Top tiered professionalism from the very first phone call through the different contacts you have until the installation is completed. They certainly make sure you are aware they are a family run business however back it up with the values that you'd associate with that type of company when its run well. I collected several bids for this work and their pricing was competitive. More importantly they were honest and transparent with all pricing. This was not the case with other bids. Prompt with responses and appointments. I would certainly recommend their service to anyone and will use them in the future.

My furnace wouldn't come on in the morning so I called for an appointment which was available the same day. The tech arrived within 3 hours of the call and promptly discovered the Ignitor had failed on my 20 year old Trane furnace. Lakeside installed the furnace so the tech was familiar with the equipment(which they still service but no longer carry the brand due to warranty problems). The ignitor was quickly replaced and the furnace was serviced and cleaned. The tech was efficient, courteous and explained in detail the details of his work. In and out in under an hour, for a reasonable price.

We bought a house 2.5 months ago and had our first furnace check-up to get ready for the winter. We hired Dr. FixIt and the technician found corroded secondary heat exchanger. He was trying to sell new furnace AND A/C unit (there's nothing wrong with AC) for $16,000 on that day. It was already 7:30 pm and he was trying to get his supervisor to sell us their system. He went on and on that the manufacture discontinued the model and they cannot get the parts, and we need a whole new customized furnace/AC etc.... That pushy sales talk prompted us to get a second opinion. I researched the contractors on Angie's list, Home Advisor, Google, local energy company, and furnace manufacture's website. Called around several companies (mainly looking for local family owned business) for estimates for replacing furnace AND just for labor for replacing the heat exchanger. I got quotes from 4 companies excluding Dr. FixIt. The reason I decided to go with Lakeside Heating & A/C was because Tony, the owner, who came for an estimate, delivered what he promised. He said he would give me 7 different quotes: quotes for 3 different models (good, better, best option) for only furnace, and for those 3 different models for furnace AND A/C, and for only labor to replace heat exchanger. He also told me about all possible credits, discounts and rebates that I can get, and calculated total out of pocket figure. The next morning, he e-mailed me all 7 quotes with all available credits/discounts as he promised. Other companies that I got quotes from either didn't give me a quote for the labor only option when they promised to get me one, didn't follow up on what they said they would do, total cost was different in the typed up quote from what they gave me verbally, didn't tell me about mail-in rebate from the manufacture (quoting the same model # of equipment as Lakeside was offering), didn't put what brand and model they will be installing on the quote, or didn't even give me a formal quote and tried to come to my house to install the furnace. Lakeside was far better than other companies. Tony included rebate from energy company, credit from manufacture for recalled heat exchanger, mail-in rebate from manufacturer and even discount for paying by cash/check in all 7 quotes. Their quotes were itemized in detail and original price before credits/discounts was way lower than others. 4 days after he came for estimate, I called Lakeside to sign a contract and schedule an installation. The receptionist who answered the phone told me that they can't get me in for the next two weeks as their schedule is full. But Tony squeezed me in for Friday installation as he promised at the estimate that he can start the next week. On installation day, a crew gave me a courtesy call 30 min before they leave, and arrived on time. They were very polite and courteous, put on booties, placed rags on the floor, carried equipment carefully and clean up really good after the job was done. Also they showed up a little after 7:30 and were out of the house by noon. Other company told me that it would take them two days to install so I wasn't expecting them to be done that quick. Thinking of the stress I got from Dr. FixIt's $16k estimate, I am very happy that I decided to go with Lakeside. The whole process was stress and worry free and I'm very satisfied. I will use them for the regular AC/furnace check up as well and definitely recommend them to others.

One of the reasons I picked this company for a quote was because they were open on Sunday so I did not have to wait to talk to someone. They quoted me by far the lowest price but you wouldn't know it by the job they did. The technician showed up on time and was very nice. He did a thorough job and didn't try to sell me anything! We will definatly be going to Lakeside next year!

The tech was polite and efficient.

They were a second opinion and 25% cheaper on my fix.

It was part of the annual service agreement. The service agreement is about $150 and I paid for that last fall. The spring checkup was apart of that so there was no charge. They do everything that I expected them to do. All expectations filled. The guys were neat and clean, on time. I was completely satisfied.

Excellent even better than expected.

Lakeside replaced our furnace and air conditioner. We received 4 quotes and Lakeside's was the most detailed and comprehensive. It gave us a lot of confidence in the job they would do. They were on time and completed the work as expected. The job took 2 days and they worked hard to get the AC up and running by the end of the first day so that we could use it that night (on a 90+ degree day). We will hire them again.

Everything with Lakeside went great, from the bid to the installation. I had three bids and Lakeside -- one was very expensive; Lakeside's bid was almost the same as the third contractor. However, Lakeside quoted a Lennox energy efficient AC and furnace, while the other contractor bided a lessor known brand and it was not energy efficient. Lakeside scheduled an installation appointment, arrived promptly and finished early. The installation crew was top-notch and very professional. We have two rental properties and our residence -- we will use Lakeside for our future needs. Highly recommend!

Installation took two days. Excellent work. Returned the following workday to replace a defective fan.

Excellent - they got to me the day I called and came back at the appointed time when the part came in

Excellent experience. Responsive and timely. The crew was conscientious about walking in the house. They kept me in the loop with everything they were doing. There was an Xcel rebate that required an inspection once the outside temp was above 65 degrees. I did not have to remember to schedule that, Lakeside called at the first opportunity and it was completed. A truly wonderful experience.

Excellent. After realizing our furnace had pooped out in the daytime of January 4, I called and Tony and Adam were here the following day to install the new Carrier furnace. We were amazed at the response time and it was snowing to boot. I could go on and on but the point is that these guys were absolutely great. They have any future business of ours and we will highly recommend Lakeside Heating and Air.

I contacted this company from ad in a home improvement directory.  They met with me quickly this past spring and also gave me a quote timely.  I met with one of the principals of the company and I liked that they're a smaller, family run business, yet super professional.  They gave me info and the choice to repair the ailing unit or replace.  I opted to replace simply because I didn't want to mess around with ongoing future repairs on an older unit that had been poorly maintained/serviced in the past.  Since I was willing to wait for install until fall, they offered a better price, also they gave a better price if paying in cash.  There was also a utility co. rebate that they handled getting and applied that credit to my total bill.  They pulled permit and also gave me very good direction on how I go about getting install/unit inspected by city.  They were punctual, tidy and efficient.  They were communicative throughout the process and I'd certainly use them again.

What a wonderful, refreshing company! I am so glad I found them as they were polite, professional and fairly priced. I received another quote from Costco, and Lakeside saved me so much money and I got better, higher efficient equipment. The quality of the product, installation and the whole experience beat my expectations. Tony gave me quotes to fit my budget and answered all my questions. The installation crew, Mick and Derick did a superior job and even cleaned up after themselves! Lakeside did all the rebate paperwork for me and even gave me an instant Xcel Energy rebate so I would not have to wait a couple of months to get a check from Xcel. I am more than Happy with my whole experience.

We recently purchased a high-efficiency furnace and air conditioner from Lakeside Heating and Air Conditioning. During this process we interviewed several companies and did a lot of research on the internet. We chose Lakeside because they are a family-owned company that has been in business since 1971, their estimate was competitive, they had good customer reviews, and, most importantly, because of the comfort level we felt when we met with Tony for our estimate. Tony provided several different options, helped us to choose the right equipment, and was very responsive to all of our questions. The installation went very smoothly. The installers were on time, were very respectful of our home, used drop cloths and shoe coverings, and left everything clean. We greatly appreciated that they prepared and filed all of the paperwork for the Xcel and Carrier rebates and scheduled the City of Lakewood inspections. From the first phone call to the follow-up call after the installation, everyone has been very professional and responsive. I would highly recommend this company.

Do get a couple of quotes not "estimates"

Do hire a company that is licensed and insured.

Feel good about the transaction from start to finish.  I feel valued.

They arrived on time and the installers were very polite and courteous. In short order they had the old one out and the new one in. I had hot water again!

FANTASTIC!  We got bids from a company who has a display at a "Members Only" "Big Box" store.  
Then decided to call Lakeside Heating and Air to see what they could offer.  WOW!  More efficient furnace and air conditioner for not much more money;  We are so pleased with our choice of units and the installation process!  
Thank you (Tony, Mick and Derrick) for treating us with consideration, patience and delivering a great experience!
