We have used Riverside several times over the years and they have been by far the best! Initially, we worked with them through our home warranty company (which is always a PAIN) and they really pushed them to approve to get everything fixed that needed to be replaced. This was after three years of dealing with HVAC issues and going through several different companies. Riverside helped us FINALLY get all in working order.
We just recently had them come back out for a clogged drain that caused a leak with our air handler. They came out the same day I called and resolved the issue. They are always pleasant and professional. Highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC work!

Riverside Heating and AC company has been taking care of our devices for many years. When last summer was so hot and our AC was working overtime, the tech. Daniel came out to help us out. We now have all new AC/Heat units with new ductwork installed and Riverside was wonderful, quick and efficient. Staff was great! One item much appreciated is the customer service provided by them, especially Daniel. He is so personable, answers all questions and great asset to the company.
