About us

We are OPEN! Call us today for Virtual Sales Call! HVAC is a term in the construction industry that is not as understandable as some might think. For me the meaning is simple; it involves providing a healthy, safe, comfortable and efficient living environment for you and your family. With that being said, this industry has allowed me the opportunity to have a positive influence in people's lives which provides a great deal of satisfaction. I have been blessed to have a job that I have never thought of as "A JOB!". Even though there are many demands from owning this business these past 14 years, I am very thankful for this profession, the people I have gotten to meet along the way and the individuals I have been privileged to work with. In a time when it is getting difficult for companies, particularly service providers, to carve out points of comparisons from their competitors is the prices, location and service innovations that can be easily copied. The point of distinction that we have and is extremely important to customers, and very difficult for competitors to replicate; is our service quality. We are passionate about the quality and expertise of our work every day and feel that our services are invaluable. Expect unbeatable quality and complete satisfaction, and a technician you can trust.

I had an excellent experience purchasing a new furnace for my home. From the technician who came out on the original service call, to the sales manager who came over (he spent a solid 2-3 hours with me making sure he understood my existing system and all my different options that existed to make my system better), to the install team, etc. They are first class through and through, and I will recommend them to everyone.

More than Excellent - I need to add a Sixth Star
Description of Work: 1st Heating & Cooling have come to my family’s call for help many times. My brother, mother, sister and my husband and I all have had furnaces, water heaters, and A/C units installed by 1st Heating & Cooling at various times through the past decade. Six months ago, I moved into a condo as a widow. I called 1st Heating & Cooling immediately when I realized that my furnace was not working anymore. Ryan, the owner, showed up at 7:30 the next morning on my porch during a storm. He inspected the furnace, made some phone calls and talked with my son about the issues concerning my furnace. He reassured me that he would send his technicians out the next day to install the chosen furnace. They were punctual, respectful, and knowledgeable--and cleaned up after themselves, too! Ryan, called me as soon as they were finished installing the furnace, and reassured me not to hesitate in calling him for any questions or issues. That man and his wonderful staff calmed my nerves and got me through a very stressful situation. Ryan is a fine example of an ethical, knowledgeable, sincere, honest, hard-working individual. Take it from me and my family: we believe if you called upon 1st Heating & Cooling, you’d have no regrets. We believe you’d have great confidence in the fact that you hired the kind of company that you’d be proud to call again if you were ever faced with any other HVAC concerns in the place you live your life: your home.

Everything was done professionally and the air conditioning in the house is now much better, able to sleep well each night. The furnace was installed by 1st before I bought the house and they reviewed and modified it and explained how to use the furnace and humidifier in detail, along with frequency to change filter. I now know how to care for and maintain my furnace and A/C plus they provide a free maintenance check in a year.

Overall quite well. It was a two hour job that went 2 1/2 hours because of some difficulty in removing the old unit. We had previously agreed on a set amount and that is what I paid. Billie and Justin installed the new unit and were professional and courteous.

Excellent. Would definitely hire again. Ryan took time to explain my options and equipment in great detail. He is someone who has a genuine interest in what he sells and installs. He also went the extra mile to offer me up 'new old stock' equipment that saved me several thousand dollars. I now have an Amana A/C unit with an amazing warranty. Installers were on time and polite and took time to explain things to me.

This was an emergency and I was given a window of time for the service call; they came late. I had apparently been scheduled with the "after hours guy" all along but was told they would be there by 5pm The employee never said my furnace motor needed replacement. When asked, he told me the furnace would be good for at least 1 year; the fix lasted for 10 minutes after he left. The next morning I was quoted $300 to replace the motor; I was charged $376. Maybe they quoted me a price for *just* the part, but should I really have been charged for a second service call? I lost 2 days of work for this.

Response from 1st Heating and Cooling Co
This one is difficult to understand. We received the call for service at 10:22am and we where out to the house at 5:14pm same day. The technician, in an effort to save the Customer money, cleaned and check the furnace completely at the same time freed up a stuck inducer motor. Total cost for this visit was $125.00. According to the technicians report, it stated this and also that they needed a new inducer even though he freed it up, it was drawing high amps and the bearings sounded bad. The customer at that time refused further service. ( she didn’t want to spend the money to replace it) The next morning she called back 8:26am and said again the furnace isn’t working. We ordered an inducer and returned on her instruction between 3-5pm ( so she didn’t miss work) and replaced the part. Not sure how we failed. When I read this review I immediately called to apologize and that conversation went poorly as well, However her furnace hasn’t failed since. I sincerely wish all the best for this women and feel for her future heating guy. All the best Ryan Bierl 1st Heating and Cooling Co.

Excellent! It's easy to see why 1st Heating & Cooling gets so many great reviews. We had a furnace that was acting up. They came out and diagnosed the problem as the heat exchanger, which is an expensive repair. Because of that, they sent someone out for a second opinion. We ended up working with Wes to figure out the cost of repair, along with the possible issues that were in the future for this older furnace, vs the cost to replace. There was no hard sell by 1st H & C, just facts and discussion. Eventually, we decided to replace the unit. Marty came out and replaced the unit--professional, polite, and another great person to work with at the company. They are our go-to company for any HVAC needs from here on out.

I got preventative maintenance done this summer by the technicians, and yet for some odd reason my furnace started leaking water. I called the company to have it checked, and I was told that there is not going to be a service fee since I paid them for routine maintenance couple of months ago. Nevertheless, the technician arrived the next day and informed me that the condensation pump placed outside the furnace needed to be replaced. It was a simple plug and play install, so I asked if it was going to be expensive. The technician called his boss and conveyed to me that the replacement cost is $213. I immediately checked online and determined that the price of the pump was under $50. I refused to pay $213 then his boss called and told me in intimidating voice that I have agreed to pay the cost of replacement and his time is worth something in case I am thinking to get the pump replaced by someone else. I communicated that I have not agreed and the price is unreasonable for an under $50 part. He called his tech and called me back again to make disingenuous statements about using a different brand that costs $280 and lasts for years when in fact the brand was the same as I found on Home Depot. I refused to accept the price, and clarified my concerns about the cost of repairs when I paid these guys back in summer to do all checks. The boss talked to his technician again and called me to inform me of the high cost of doing business, and his willingness to replace the pump for $170. I still did not think that the price was fair, however agreed since the technician was at my home and felt obligated to pay. In short, I felt as if I was being coerced into paying an unreasonable price given the multiple calls and intimidating tone.

Response from 1st Heating and Cooling Co
Hello Ms. [Member Name Removed] When I took your call the night before we came to your home I agreed to send the technician out for free in an effort to keep this relationship in good standing. Your insinuation that “ we must have screwed something up and “it was definitely our fault” was enough for me to give you the benefit of the doubt. When we arrived at your home it was clear that we had done nothing wrong and that unfortunately your condo pump has failed. At this point we feel justified charging you accordingly if you want us to continue to perform service. If you want the pump replaced, you will pay for the service call ($85) and then for the pump and installation.($140) You have and had every right to refuse service. At that point you would have been charged nothing. ($0) The technician at your home tried to help you, My service manager tried to help by you and then I had to get involved because somehow we were to blame for your problem. We are always here to help, not to hurt. If you felt as though we had a “Tone” about our conversations, I’m sure that you are correct. It is VERY difficult and frustrating dealing with someone who is unreasonable. Thank you for your business. And Thank you again for finding someone else for future service. P.S. The First time we came out to your home for basic routine maintenance, the situation was equally difficult.

Great! Crew was very professional and polite. That night we got a call from the owner, Ryan, and he informed us we over paid them by $100.00. That kind of honesty is rare in this day and age. We received a check for the overpayment. We were taken back at their honesty as they did not need to notify us. All I can say is hats off to Ryan and his crew!

After my furnace failed, I called for support -- a technician arrived within 6 hours, and upon requiring additional assistance, one of his co-workers arrived to confirm findings 40 minutes after that. They shared all their findings with me, including pictures from their wormhole camera. They offered price quotes based on repair of the equipment or total replacement -- due to the age of my furnace, I chose replacement. They then offered multiple choices based both on the size of my house (1300 sqft), existing duct-work, and my needs, and ultimately recommended an option that would fit my budget and keep energy costs down. They quoted a flat price, that included the new furnace, tax, new chimney, labor, disposal, and all incidentals -- there were no additional fees during installation, and no upsell of any kind. The time between troubleshooting and full installation was under 48 hours. The installation team was friendly, clean, and professional, and answered any questions I had during the installation process, and provided recommendations to ensure longevity of my new furnace. I was incredibly satisfied with every level of the process, all communications, and would recommend the 1st Heating team to anyone needing assistance with their HVAC concerns.

They were prompt in responding to calls and emails and texts. They came out at times that fit my schedule. They were very good at explaining my options and did not try to upcharge me for things I did not need. I did not end up going with them because another company gave me a better price, but I would not hesitate to call them. They seemed very professional.

The young man (Eric) came right on time. Diagnosed the problem with the boiler quickly, but didn't have the part which had to be ordered. Before he finished here, he had found where to order the part, provided the cost of installation and scheduled to return, all within the 30 minute initial service fee. When he returned to actually replace the broken part he again was precisely on time, was only here a short time and there were no hidden costs. Eric was very professional and polite during both my encounters with him. I would hire 1st Heating and Cooling again should I ever need to.
