I had two issues with my 25-year-old furnace that needed fixing, so I contacted three HVAC companies on Thumbtack. Rittinger Heating and Cooling LLC was the first to call back, so I scheduled an appointment for a technician, Alan Orozco, to come out that afternoon to investigate.
Alan was punctual, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed my thermostat issue and let me know I needed a new one, since the display was no longer working on the old one. I gave Alan a rundown of the history of the issue I was having with the furnace: after turning it on, it would cycle a few times and reach the set temperature, but then it would eventually blow cold air and stop reaching the set temperature. Alan turned on the furnace, tested all the connections, and checked that it was operational. Since everything else checked out (no error codes), he deduced that the motor was most likely the issue, which seemed in line with the furnace being on the older side.
He gave me a quote, which I approved, and I paid a down payment for the motor. The part was available the following day, and Alan installed the motor and thermostat in a little more than an hour. He tested the function of both the thermostat and furnace, and both work great — the new motor is remarkably quieter than the old one, too.
I also asked Alan about eventually replacing the furnace with a heat pump HVAC system. He gave me an intro rundown on the different types of systems, duct vs ductless, etc. that are available which was very informative.
I would recommend Rittinger Heating and Cooling to anyone needing HVAC repair or a new installation.

I received a call just a few minutes after looking for furnace repair. William came the same day, checked the system, found the problem, fixed it, and left our furnace running. He also gave us a great discount. William was a pleasure to work with!

Highly recommend. Showed up same day and diagnosed the problems in great detail. I appreciated the honest feedback without trying to upsell like my previous service. Will work with them for any HVAC needs in the future!
