"My central AC decided not to work during a heat wave. I knew that I would probably have to wait for an appointment no matter who I called. I called Chris and he was at my home within a half hour. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had my air conditioner up and running in no time. He was polite, courteous, and answered all my questions. Overall an excellent experience, and I would definitely call him again and will also recommend him to families and friends."

If it is 2 am and your air conditioner just broke, then Hutchinson is here to help. Our company has trained Customer Service Representatives waiting to take your call, with technicians ready to fix your air conditioner 24/7. Whether you are in Gloucester County NJ or Delaware County PA, our fully-stocked repair vehicles contain all of the parts we need to get you cool again; TODAY! If your air conditioner has seen better days and you are ready for an upgrade to a new system, then you can trust Hutchinson’s trained team of consultants to take the time to study your home’s cooling needs and your personal preferences to find the perfect air conditioner for you and your family. In most cases Hutchinson can install your new air conditioner the next day. If not, Hutchinson can offer either window air conditioners or ‘rescue’ units, this way you never have to spend a restless night because of your broken air conditioning system.

"Photo of Hutchinson - Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Heating Hutchinson - Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Heating Hutchinson installed my high efficiency furnace, a/c unit and hot water heater about 10 years ago. i have had an annual service contract with them since then. They come out every 6 months for routine checks so no other company has touched the equipment since it was installed. at the last service check a few weeks ago the technician told me that the seal around the flue pipe wasn't proper and it was leaking. he showed me a picture of a red sealant around the joint that was pvc pipe. he quoted me a price of $500 to repair it that i agreed to. it took him about 20 minutes to replace a 6 inch piece of pvc pipe. over the next week the amount that i paid wasn't sitting right with me for what had to be done especially since Hutchinson had done the install and therefore they didn't do it right the first time. I called them last week and explained all of the above and asked for a call back that never happened. from dealing with them thru the years i think their techs are incentivized to sell products or expensive repairs. they tried many times to install an ultraviolet air cleaner even though i already have a carrier air cleaner. They are Hutchinson in name only. I looked them up and they are owned by a private equity company that seems to specialize in buying family owned plumbing and hvac businesses. So buyer beware before you let them in your house. as for the hot water install the young plumber used a piece of scrap pipe for the hot water return. fortunately i went to the basement a few hours later and it was leaking because it wasn't soldered correctly. I turned off the water supply and the on call experienced plumber had to come out that evening and redo it and took back the scrap pipe to show his supervisor. other issues with Hutchinson include the time one of their technicians foot went through the attic floor and put a hole in the 2nd floor ceiling. Accidents happen and i was glad he wasn't injured. i contacted Hutchinson and they agreed to cover the cost of the repair. I got a quote and sent it to them and they approved it and i paid the contractor to do it. The problem was getting them to pay me back. They are strictly COD when they come out, but it took many many calls to get them to pay me. Either they were in a meeting or gone for the day and even thought i left messages it took at least 6 or more tries to get them to pay me when they realized i wasn't going away. then there was the issue with the pressure booster we have for our sprinkler system. it started to leak and was still under warranty. Hutchinson took it out and said they would take care of sending it back to the company for a replacement. I called a few times over the next several months and couldn't get an answer as to the status of the replacement. as a result i couldn't open my sprinkler system for the season and the plants and grass were not looking good. Finally i called the Slimer company myself to check on the status and Hutchinson had never sent it back to them. After that both Slimer and myself had to make multiple calls to Hutchinson to find out where it was. In the meantime the Slimer company was kind enough to send out a replacement."

"A Raving Review for Green Mechanical LLC! If you’re looking for the absolute best HVAC service around, look no further than Green Mechanical LLC! This company is truly a gem, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible service they provided. My heater had been misdiagnosed by another company, leaving my family and me in the cold—literally! Thankfully, I called Green Mechanical LLC, and they completely turned things around. From the moment I called, I knew I was in good hands. Devin Green, the owner himself, came to my house to personally assess the issue. This level of dedication and care is something you just don’t see every day! Devin’s professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine commitment to solving the problem made all the difference. He didn’t just slap on a temporary fix or rush through the job—he made sure to thoroughly diagnose the issue and explain every step of the process to me. A huge shoutout to Jacob and G, who also worked on my system. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful of my home. Their teamwork and attention to detail were top-notch, and it was clear they take immense pride in their work. Thanks to Devin, Jacob, and G, my heater is now working perfectly, and my family can finally enjoy a warm, comfortable home again! I also want to emphasize how important it is to support small businesses like Green Mechanical LLC. These are the companies that truly care about their customers and their communities. Devin and his team are local experts who go above and beyond to deliver top-notch service, and they deserve every bit of your trust and business. If you need HVAC services—whether it’s a repair, installation, or just regular maintenance—do yourself a favor and call Green Mechanical LLC. Their commitment to excellence, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service make them a company you’ll want to recommend to everyone you know.

Heating and air conditioning services FAQs

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.

While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.  

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
