Shon helped us out with a door replacement, and a bit of plumbing work by the hot water heater area. He did a good job and would definitely use him again as one of our regular vendors in the southern area of DFW. Thank you, sir.

They're really nice and professional. They're very service-oriented. Once I had to wait about 45 minutes to get my oil changed so they took $10 off the cost just because I had to wait so long. I like them a lot. They seemed to last really well.

It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).

Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.

This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a local HVAC company to hire, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications.
