My experience with Essential Heating and Air was excellent, from the initial estimate through day of installation and the follow-up afterward. Every one of their team was professional, courteous, and diligent in making sure I was satisfied. Thank you!

Really enjoyed working with the tech and learning about my system for a general tune- up and routine maintenance. Alex took his time to kindly explain my system, how it works, and how to maintain its life and keep it working. We didn’t need anything major and Alex took the time to make the small adjustments to keep our system running for the long haul.
Essential Mechanical was one of 4 companies that we called to get a bid for A/C install and in short we went with them primarily due to their knowledge and their price is very fair. We have 3 temperature zones in our house and they were the only ones who brought up which units to purchase, the other company's salespeople weren't aware that not all units support multiple zones. Last thing to mention is that when they were done, they did a full audit of which vent was tied to which zoned area (you can't always tell which Nest unit goes to which room, for example they told us that an upstairs Nest actually worked for 1 vent downstairs.)
Anyways, I highly recommend them. Aside from cost and knowledge, they are the ABSOLUTELY nicest and well mannered guys, while also maintaining professionalism. You'll see my reviews in sites, mainly because I have zero hesitation about recommending them and I hope they continue to be successful.
BTW, I'm in Kirkland and there was no hesitation for them to come this far.

We had hired Essential Mechanical for Centralair conditioner installation. Their service was excellent. The salesperson Ruben was thorough and explained us the work in detail. Technician Ben and his team were highly skilled and professional. They constantly kept us up to date on the progress and challenges. After the job was done, we had some questions about the fan schedule, so technicians visisted us and answered our questions. Great experience! Great quality of work. We highly recommend Essential Mechanical Services.

Had a great experience with Essential Mechanical installing airconditioning in our home. They were friendly and professional, as well as quick! We had a quote done and it turned out that they had the equipment we wanted in stock and were able to install it within two weeks, and the day of installation only took about 6 hours. They also installed a new thermostat for us, which we had purchased elsewhere ourselves. Everything was done neatly and we are very happy with the result! Can’t wait to fully use it next summer!
