Top notch service, kind and thoughtful feedback and explanation of work being completed. Got my go-to guy now for all things HVAC and having a trustworthy guy like this on the speed dial is a big weight lifted!

Initially, I thought that there was an automated reply to my original message to this company, but then found out that Riley (the owner) is actually that fast to reply!
Today he came for what we were expecting to be just a consultation to have a bathroom fan fixed, as it was letting a lot of cold air in. Riley was very polite, making sure it was ok to come in before entering (we have a small timid dog, so this was very appreciated). Then he took the time to get to know us and our concerns before getting to work. It gave us more confidence that he really wanted to know what the problem was before touching anything. With that said, he found that the damper wasn’t closing. He was able to quickly correct it without a lot of difficulty (no need too schedule another appointment or wait for him to go to the store for parts, etc). We are VERY satisfied with his work and will be calling on him again when the need arises.

Having had bad experiences in the past, I can be pretty wary of contractors, but I need not have worried with Riley! We were in a no-heat situation during cold weather and he was able to move things around and get to us within a few hours. During the diagnostic, he insisted I was present as he walked me through what he was testing and what the expected results would be. There was full transparency. Once the issue was diagnosed, Riley offered different options to solve the issue. There was no sales pressure, he wanted to find the right option for us. Given the age and condition of our system we opted for a new HVAC system and Riley presented us with different solutions, again with no pressure. The installation was scheduled quickly and I was amazed with the quality of the workmanship and service he offered. Riley is a perfectionist and attention to detail is second-to-none. His pricing is very fair but in terms of value for money, his service, professionalism, and workmanship easily beats any of the ‘big names’. I would never use anyone else for my HVAC needs.

Riley did an amazing job on my basement ductwork. Everything was done neatly and you can tell he takes pride in his work. I would definitely hire him again.
