Expensive but great service. I feel as if we live too far from their main service area to use them in the future

From beginning to end. Professional, prompt and respectful. Clearly explained the problem and worked to repair successfully without needing to replace the whole system. Trustworthy. I'm confident in their competence.

Consumer from Melrose Park, PA
Aug 02, 2023

We live in a condo with multiple wall air conditioners/auxiliary heaters. (Not window units -- built into walls, about 48" inches long, similar to what you find in many hotels and motels.) We wanted routine annual preventive mainanence. Our former company (Christian) stopped doing this. It was surprising how few companies are willing to do this work. Dowd sent someone (a relatively new, though experienced employee-- he joined them as part of a recent merger, I gather) and he arrived on time, did a thorough job, and gave us advice. Based on previous service, the price was reasonable. I would contact them again.

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.
