They are honest and do a great job. Did not feel like I had to defend myself being a woman. Very sad that there are companies out there on commission and lie to women. Joel heating did not

Report
We needed an air conditioning tune-up. The technician, Nick, arrived promptly and did a very thorough job. Our unit was low on freon so he added what was required. Mice had built a nest there and chewed the wires. Nick cleaned out the mouse nest and fixed the wire. I think cleaning out the nest was above and beyond AC maintenance, but he cheerfully volunteered to do it. We've had other work done by Joel Smith Heating & AC and we are absolutely satisfied with their services.

Time for a pre-winter furnace check-up so naturally we called Joel Smith Heating & Air Conditioning. The service is always prompt and Curt is professional, courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be calling again in the Spring for an air conditioner check-up. Service: Heating maintenance

Quick response! We arrived home after a weekend away to our AC out and temps for the next several days in the 90's+. I called on Monday late afternoon and they were able to send someone out right away on Wednesday. Curt was punctual, professional, and quickly fixed the problem. He even made the time to perform an additional service and do a maintenance check on the furnace (I told him I'd like to have a check on it then rather than calling in January when it goes out at -30, which would be just our luck!). Great service and value. 5-star recommendation!

We called to have them come look at our AC. It has been hot and our AC just hasn't been able to keep up. They were able to send someone out quick to look at it. Turns out it just needed a good cleaning of the coils. Also good that we didn't do it ourselves because our coils are unique and taking a hose to them ourselves could have damaged them. The technician also took time to talk to us about future replacement of our system (it is 21 years old). Our AC is working better now even with some still hotter Temps. We will use them again for future needs.
