What we do
Heat, cool, and everything between the two.
Every job starts with a diagnosis and a written price. You approve it before work begins — that's the rule on every truck.
AC repair
Dead capacitor, seized fan, refrigerant leak — diagnosed on the spot and usually fixed straight from the truck. We stock the parts summer kills first.
$89 diagnostic, waived with repair
New installations
Right-sized furnaces, ACs and heat pumps backed by a written heat-loss calculation — not a guess off the old unit's sticker.
Installs from $4,900 · 0% financing
Maintenance plans
One furnace tune-up, one AC tune-up, priority booking and 15% off repairs, every year. The cheapest insurance a homeowner can buy.
$18/month, cancel anytime
Water heaters
Tank and tankless repair or replacement, usually within 24 hours — because cold showers get old fast. Rental buyout advice included, free.
Replacements from $2,200
Indoor air quality
HEPA filtration, humidifiers and HRV service for tighter, healthier houses — worth a look after any renovation or new-build purchase.
Assessments from $129

From the doorstep
4.9 stars, and we work to keep it.
"Furnace quit on the coldest night in January. Called at 7 a.m., the tech had it running by 10:30, and the bill matched the quote to the dollar."
"They didn't try to sell me a new AC when a $220 capacitor fixed the problem. That honesty is why they'll get the install when the time actually comes."
"Signed up for the maintenance plan after they installed our heat pump. The techs show up when they say they will — rare in this trade."
Before the first heat wave
AC tune-up — $99 until June 30
Beat the rush, not the queue. A 21-point inspection now is how you skip the two-week wait when the first 32° week hits.
