I’m rare because I love fixing central air systems, gas fired furnaces, and evaporative coolers. Most companies just want to sell you a new one. I’ve repaired, replaced, or maintained 25,000 units in my decades of working on HVAC. If you need a repair, then you, your friends, and family got “ your HVAC guy”! I doubt anyone has more on-the-job experience, better pricing, or professionalism than Happy Valley.
I have a commercial mechanical contractors license and insurance in case my customers want something new and more efficient or parts are no longer available.

Richard was so helpful, transparent, and professional. We'll go with him again if we have any more issues with our HVAC.
Richard responded my work request very quickly. He came, explained what happened and fixed my AC system. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Highly recommended.

I submitted this request to help out my in-laws who live in a condo in Aurora. Rich was very prompt in responding. He did the whole job in a very cost effective manner. He gave us a quote that was half of the next cheapest quote. The other contractor misguided us and we ended up buying the wrong part. Rich told us that the part was wrong and we returned it to Amazon.
Overall, I am very happy with the service we received. I highly recommend using Rich for your HVAC needs.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It’s impossible to know what to charge my customers until I know what’s wrong with their system. My pricing; considering my on the job experience is extremely fair.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always educate my new customers. I enjoy telling my customers how their appliances work and the sequence of operation. I also don’t mind them watching me because I know what I’m doing unlike newer technicians.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been in the HVAC industry for 20 years. I also have an associates degree in architectural, drafting and construction technology, a diploma from Redstone college for commercial HVAC, and a commercial contractors license.
