I called another service provider but after several hours had not heard back from them. I called Nelson's and Ryan was at my house in about half an hour. He determined that the upper thermostat was not working and replaced it. He was polite, professional, and hard working. I was glad to have an Angie's List coupon to use as well.
Description of Work: Our hot water heater wasn't working. We thought it might be the heating element.

The service was excellent. The technicians arrived on time and worked efficiently. They gave me updates as the work progressed. I had asked that my thermostat be relocated to another room and that was done well. At the end the technicians didn't leave until they were sure everything was working properly. They also took the time to show me all of the work that was completed and explain the equipment. I was extremely satisfied with Nelson and would highly recommend this company for any heating and cooling work that needs to be done.

One A/C unit was fine; the other had a serious problem, necessitating replacement of the cooling coil. Delivery of this part was delayed through no fault of Nelson's Heating & Cooling, and this led to uncomfortably high indoor temperatures for longer than I had anticipated. Once the replacement coil arrived, installation was prompt and professional. I'd most certainly use Nelson's services again.

An HVAC replacement is a big investment. As such I performed a 'due diligence' search in the Williamsburg, VA area for new unit purchase & installation. The bulk of my search began on Angie's List and in the end I switched from the existing service vendor I've used for several years to Nelson's Heating and Cooling. From first call contact to final invoice payment I was impressed. Nelson's owners, staff and technicians are responsive, knowledgeable, well-trained, energetic, prompt and reliable - and determined to correctly resolve any unforeseen challenge. I found their product line offerings to be highly regarded in the industry; pricing was very fair and competitive. I've already contracted with them for annual maintenance service on both my home HVAC units. I expect Nelson's will have my heating and cooling business for many years to come. In the context of how intimidating an HVAC purchase can be to any homeowner / novice this was an incredibly pleasant & stress- free experience.

Came out the day after we called to troubleshoot our humidifier. Ordered a part and were back within a couple of days to fix the problem. Later, when the drain line froze on the same built-in humidifier, that came out and thawed it out and then made a modification to the drain line so it could not freeze again. No charge.
Description of Work: When our built-in humidifier quit working I called Nelson"s and they were out the next day to take a look. A part needed ordering, so it was a few days later before they could complete the job; however, We've always found then to be prompt, courteous and responsive to out needs. They always show up when they say they will be there. Their trucks and personal always display a clean and professional appearance. We've tried several HIVAC companies in the past and none of them do near as good a job as Nelson's.

I call this morning about the problem and they sent someone later that same day. It turns out the drain line froze, so they cleared that and installed a vent to prevent a reoccurrence. Since they had installed the humidifier a little over a year ago they did not charge us for the service call, parts or labor. Brilliant!

We are delighted with all facets of Nelson's work on our new garage!
Description of Work: Nelson's Heating and Cooling was recommended by a friend for HVAC installation for our newly completed garage. An appointment was made to discuss options, pricing, scheduling, and timing to compare with other companies. Nelson's came back with a better recommendation than I thought possible and was a considerable cost savings. At a subsequent meeting we discussed the renovations for our home, and again Nelson's recommended a solution that we will be pursuing when we get to that stage of the renovation. We are very pleased with their professionalism, promptness, and thoroughness of the job from start to finish.

The job was completed successfully and Chris and Dan were very thorough and left the work areas clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Nelson's Heating and Cooling and will use them in the future.
Description of Work: Although we were told by another company that it wasn't possible to run a gas line to one of our fireplaces for gas logs, Chris Nelson came out and said it would be a challenge but he thought it could be done without damaging another chimney. He was right! He and his brother, Dan, came out and personally installed the gas line.

Nelsons crew removed and replaced both the upstairs and down stairs units and did a great job. They put down plastic to protect the carpet and everything works great. The new units have been in place for a week or so and are much quieter than the old units. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. I think they are very honest and transparent, they answered all my questions and concerns (I asked them plenty of things). The only reason that I put n/a on the price was that I had nothing to compare their price to since I did not get multiple bids. I wanted a known local business that was trust worthy and that's exactly what I got (I found them on Angie's list with great reviews). I have learned from discussions with other people what it cost to replace central a/c and heater units and based on what I heard from them I do believe the price was fair as they did very good work and have a conscientious crew.
Description of Work: My air conditioners and furnace were not going to last much longer; the furnace inducer fan was disintegrating and vibrating something horrible and the fire box showed a lot of rust. It appeared to be a waste of money to do the type of extensive repairs that a pair of 13 year old units were going to need, especially since they both used R22 for the a/c, which will not be available by 2020. I decided that American Standard would be better than units such as Carrier, Bryant or Trane.

Jeremy and Dennis, the service techs were wonderful, professional and highly skilled. As part of the regular maintenance service today, they found that the condensation drain in the crawl space was frozen (Temps were in the teens last night and this morning). Instead of just thawing out the line, with the potential of a reoccurrence, they re-routed the drain line into the house sewer line--permanently fixing the problem. We were grateful.
Description of Work: Winter HVAC Maintenance. This service is in conjunction with our annual service contract with Nelson's Heating and A/C, and since the contract cost is paid on an annual basis, there were no additional costs for today's service.
