I called at 8am the next morning and was greeted by a very friendly woman who scheduled me for the afternoon. Greg called 30 minutes prior as agreed upon. I met him there. He was super nice and helpful. He answered all my questions and taught me quite a few things I did not know. He also checked the other furnace in the building while I was there as to prevent the same issue. He diagnosed it quickly and was done within the hour. They will be the first ones I call for any other furnace issues in the future.

Don't waste your time and money with their offer. The offer DOES NOT INCUDE important safety checks such as the condition of the heat exchanger and testing for unsafe levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Why pay $99 for someone to vacuum your furnace when you could spend a little more and get a comprehensive furnace safety inspection from a qualified company. There's more if you have time to read on... I did stop by the Ray N. Welter office to ask about a replacement furnace. At that time I expressed my concern that since my existing furnace was 24 years old I thought it should have a safety inspection. The person I talked to said their cleaning special also included a safety inspection. Ok I thought. But when their employee came out to look at my furnace I was told he didn't have the equipment to test for unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. We both agreed another employee should come out the next day and do a complete safety inspection. Well, the next day no one came out. Ray N. Welters didn't even bother to call me to explain or apologize for missing the second scheduled appointment .
Response from Ray N Welter Heating & Air Conditioning
"Hi [Member Name Removed], I am very sorry for the confusion, it was absolutely our fault. No excuses. Both on the clarification of what you were looking for and the service manager misunderstanding that you were expecting us the next day. Please let me make it up to you for our mistake. Thanks for bringing it to my attention as I have started to make changes to correct the issue and prevent it from happening again. I understand we didn't charge you anything so let me know if I can do a certification on your furnace free of charge. Sorry, Rick Welter"

It went fine. They responded quicker than anyone else and got out to the house fast. They had the air running in a short time and it was during a hot stretch. They said it wasn't guaranteed to stop the leak and the Freon could leak out again over time. which it did. Because of the route charge that doesn't get applied to the bill I didn't go with them when I needed to replace the air condition in August.

Jason checked the unit and explained how to keep it running efficiently. I used an Angie's List promotion and the transaction went smoothly.

Excellent! I would highly recommend. Friendly tech was all about doing the right thing for me. He helped me balance cost vs reliability. My AC unit is getting old and he fully discussed all my options and what he would recommend. I have dealt with several different HVAC companies in the past and always got the feeling that I was not getting a fair deal. Highly recommend these guys.

We had something several years done wrong not by them but by someone else and they corrected it and it's amazing how much more efficient our air conditioning is. Too much of the air was going was going down stairs and not upstairs. They had to have some new paths made and it made a lot of difference on our air conditioning. They've been a company that has been around for a long time. I think they actually installed our new furnace and maybe like 50 years ago, the same company, when we built a new home back in the 60's mid 60's, they had done the work on it. It's not a great big company but big enough to take care of us whenever we need something done. We definitely would use them again.

Great experience. The team was very nice, on time and helped correct existing air flow issues that other companies overlooked. Could not have been nicer or easier to work with, and did the work for a good price. I would highly recommend Ray Welter.

A great experience. I called mid-day on Monday and I received a call later that day to set a time for first thing in the morning. The tech showed up bright and early and quickly determined that I was low on freon. He topped it up and checked my other unit (I have separate units for up and downstairs on former duplex). We discussed things I could do to keep my units running well. Very reasonable with Angie's List coupon.

After the service was scheduled and performed a day later, I received a follow up call to see if everything was ok. Excellent! They sure seem to care. I had a good experience with these people a couple of years ago when they replaced the original system they installed in 1979. Everything works great! I've recommended them to several people I know, never heard one thing bad. I shopped around again for service, the worse one was the vendor who does it through Home Depot, they didn't even get back to me. When I had that vendor do an estimate a couple years ago for the whole furnace and A/C system replacement they were way overpriced and not straightforward. The Welter people were as reasonable and reliable as they were a couple of years ago. I recommend them! The price they charged was reasonable, they had to replace both a large filter and a humidifier boiler cartridge in the Aprilaire units they installed a couple of years ago. The units still work great!

Timely response to initial request for quote. The installation process was well communicated in advance and Jason arrived at arranged time. Installation went smoothly and all aspects of doing business with this company was very professional. Highly recommend using them.

I called these guys early on a Monday morning about a broken furnace at a rental property.  They were able to get out to the house the same day!  I was expecting the worst, and was left with a $150 bill.   Not bad Ray Welter.  Not bad at all.   Thanks for not trying to rake me over the coals.  I will definitely use them again for any HVAC needs.  Highly recommend.

Welter Heating Co. is a professionally run business. I was pleased with their service and what it cost to install a new Trane
furnace in my rental unit.  I recommend Welter to anyone who needs a new furnace.

The entire process went as smoothly as it possibly could have.  Todd came to provide the estimate within the hour I made my call.  The quote was hundreds, in one instance many hundreds, less than two other companies--and I gave both of them the opportunity to match the price.  And they did such a good job with the cleanup that you wouldn't know they had installed a new furnace that day unless you had seen the old one.  I don't normally write reviews, but my experience with this provider was excellent and I thought they deserved the reference so others turn to them too as an option versus just one of "the big guys."

After our air conditioner died, we solicited several bids for the replacement of the unit.  We got two bids before selecting Ray Welter.  Their price was easily 2/3 the cost for similar products, and without the slick sales gimmickry.  Our sales representative was very informative, and described their products in detail.  He did a great job of outlining the pros and cons of each of their products, and even went so far as to say we probably didn't need the furnace replacement.  We did both anyway, tree huggers that we are, but really appreciated his honesty.  The installation went great with no problems, and we even got a gift box of olive oil and balsamic vinegar which the installer sheepishly presented to us after completion.  Overall, highly recommended family owned company.

I got estimates from three providers. Welter's estimate was $2600 - $800 less than the nearest competitor. (I would not have gone with this bid if they hadn't had a good rating on Angie's List).
I called them to set up an appointment and was shocked that they could appear the following week. Which they did. Right on time.
The work involved running new 220v service from the breaker box 75 feet away, drilling a hole thorugh a 19-inch-thick foundation, and relocating the thermostat.
The installer - just one guy - coordinated the electrician's arrival and the delivery of the various parts from their warehouse. He began at 9am and the job was completed by 2pm.  Absolutely amazing.
