Alpine installed my Trane heating and air conditioning system 18 years ago. At that time, I decided to purchase a service contract that would allow me to receive 2x a year cleaning and inspection. It was the best investment I could have made! Today their technician Troy came to conduct the preseason service on my air conditioner. My appointment was for 10am and Troy arrived promptly at 10am! During the course of the inspection, Troy discovered that the dual run capacitor was leaking oil. He showed me the part and suggested that it could be a problem down the road. Since the system is 18 years old, I wasn't surprised that there might be a worn part that would need to be replaced. Luckily, he had the part on hand and was able to do the repair right away. Because I had the service contract, I received a discount on the parts and labor which was greatly appreciated. I'm so glad that I called Alpine all those years ago. I highly recommend them for your heating and cooling needs!

Alpine did a fantastic job! Art and his staff correspond quickly and the technicians worked quickly and cleanly. Price was extremely competitive and Alpine even helped with all rebates that the system was entitled to. Definitely will hire Alpine whenever I need either repair work needed or system upgrades. 5 star service and people!

We are long time Alpine customers and this summer when our AC was not working, they again responded immediately and had our part ordered the same day. When it arrived, we were priority and the work was soon completed with professionalism and expertise by the technicians. It was a pleasure dealing with Barbara in the office who was so lovely and reassuring. Art has a terrific crew and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

We had used Alpine previously for small system repairs and were satisfied with their service. This was a big project, however, and we obtained several quotes. Their price was in the middle and we felt more confident using them, based on past experience. The crew of three showed up right on time. They were very professional. Wore masks the entire time, due to the pandemic and used shoe covers and drop cloths to minimize tracking dirt into the house. They worked well together and willingly answered all my questions. They cleaned up the debris before they left and explained the operation of the system thermostat, answering all questions. And the furnace even worked after they left! Won't be able to comment on the AC unit for several months. Could not have asked for better service.
Response from Alpine Heating and Cooling

"Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so happy you are pleased with the system, installation and our crew. Please let us know if you need anything. We will return in the spring to do a full start up and test of the air conditioner."

Alpine Heating and Cooling replaced our old two-zone heating and cooling system with a new energy efficient one. The team of installers arrived as scheduled, and the installation was done quickly and professionally. Alpine applied for the permits and we passed the inspection with flying colors. Their pricing was very competitive. We are very happy with the new system and reduced utility bills.

I had a very positive experience in dealing with Alpine. Starting with the person in the office, Robin. She was quick to respond to my questions and requests. The service people were professional and polite and were on time. The installation was done in a day. Their pricing for the job was considerably less than 3 other contractors I had in to give me estimates. I am extremely pleased with this company. I would call them for any other jobs I would need done.

Installation employees were very neat and professional. Job was on time and furnace worked perfectly when done. The installation people spotted a potential issue with my central air and corrected it at no additional charge. In addition they knew the building code requirements and made sure everything was handled and in compliance. This was the third time over a 12 year time period that I used them for a major installation. In addition to having a few maintenance and repair service over the last few years. I give these guys an A+ for job quality..

I’ve been an Alpine customer since 1975. Alpine is a remarkable example of a small business model (regardless of industry) that other businesses would be smart to emulate. It’s astounding, how they continue to flourish given accelerated market threats, market opportunities and government regulations. They also figured out how to stay more than relevant even with rapidly changing technologies, suppliers and price, along with the active consolidation of small companies by the behemoths (e.g. public utilities, big-box). Their secret sauce is their founding principles of authentic commitment to customer perceived value and continuing to grow/train their exceptional technical service folks. Congratulations on achieving and sustaining your founding vision. Well done! --------------------------My Alpine History------------------------------------------------ I moved to NJ in 1975 and began an immediate search for the best services providers (e.g. MDs, HVACs, Auto Mechanics). I have extremely high standards in terms of quality, price, customer focus and ethics. Furthermore, because of my professional background as a senior consultant for IBM, I am very detailed and fact oriented. All houses in my development had been built 15 years earlier with ducts for forced-air heating only. I brought 3 specialist contractors to evaluate installing AC using the existing ducts. Art Staloff (the owner of Alpine Refrigeration, founded 1972) was the only contractor whose assessment seemed credible and reasonably priced and then proved to be absolutely true. Over a 44 span, I’ve exclusively used Alpine for all my HVAC needs and most recently a whole-house generator. I’ve also taken advantage of their well-priced and high-value pre-season service agreements Paul Raskas East Brunswick, NJ

We have been customers of Alpine for 23 years. We routinely use their service (maintenance contract) for our heating and a/c tune-ups. Alpine is highly professional and Art & Robin provide excellent service to their customers. Ex. we were having trouble with our furnace kicking in and their tech worked for few hours - Art then came over to inspect and said it was time to look at the cost of the repair hours vs. new furnace. We were leaving in three days on a cruise and were worried about no heat in house as temps were expected to drop. Art sent his team the next day! Our Lennox unit has worked like a dream and is 95% efficiency actually lowering our heating cost. Hire Alpine, Art, Robin and team to get the job done - and know you are in good hands!
