Consumer Comments for Hero Plumbing Heating & Cooling

Hero bought out the HVAC company I had used for several years, Metro Air of Prior Lake, MN, sometime in late 2023. Hero never informed former customers of this change. They just showed up for my regularly scheduled furnace tune-up. I had had a Customer Care Club membership ($15/month) with Metro Air for 2 years. After this take-over by Hero the monthly charges ended. I assumed my membership was now defunct. However, 9 months later I noticed a $15 charge to my credit card from Hero. I immediately called to have this charge reversed and my membership cancelled. The representative assured me this would be taken care of. The next month my credit card was again charged. I called Hero back. A different representative again assured me that the membership would be cancelled and all charges reversed. The next month there was no charge to my credit card but no reversal of the two charges. I called four more times asking about the reversal. Each time I spoke to a different representative who assured me that the reversal was going to happen. I feel this company is all about making a profit regardless of customers’ needs. Indeed, after that first furnace tune-up the technician included price estimates for products that were never even mentioned to me in person. Hero began bombarding me with emails prodding me to take another look at the technician’s recommendation.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
