All services performed professionally and to our satisfaction. The Robert B. Payne Service Technician, Rafael Minero, was very good at explaining what was done to the system, and also about how to keep the oil tank topped off to avoid growth that could ruin our oil. Great job!

Install went well. Installation crew were punctual, professional, and neat. Took 3 days to install, set up, and test new system, as well as to remove old system. All electrical and structural work was included in install job. Received a thorough explanation for operating procedures and maintenance. 2 months in and system has worked well so far. Super quiet, very efficient for a heat pump, even down to low teens, and monthly electric bills (daily wattage) are about half for this time last year.

Robert B. Payne installed three Mitsubishi ductless AC units on our second floor. We were presented multiple options to try and balance our heating and cooling issues between the first and second floor. We found that the cost savings, as well as the ability to precisely control each bedroom’s temperature made the ductless units the best option for us. John provided the estimate, while Trent and James performed the installation. We would definitely recommend this team for future HVAC needs.

Couldn't have gone any better. New control board was ordered, came in in just a few days, and the technician (Mathew) came out and completed the work in less than half an hour, which included testing and inspecting the unit. This is how all business should strive to perform. Those that do business like this will be around a long time. Thanks Mathew.
Description of Work: My Trane heat pump had a defective control board which caused it to stop heating. Trane had already identified that as a problem with some of their units.

It went great! They were prompt and identified the problem very quickly. Had to find a replacement part for an older heat pump but they quickly located the part and completed the job the same morning. They made sure we had heat before they left. Will definitely use again.
