Replaced 1990s vintage heating and air conditioning units. Installation crew was great, two ac units one heating unit two thermostats, and two allergy filter units replaced. Work only took two days, crew was neat and left site cleaner than they found it. Also got a discount by ordering thru Costco.

My very old system finally broke down altogether so I knew I would need to replace it. My sister, a real estate agent, had used these guys in the past and said they were honest.so I called them. Jason came out to look at my system To see what was needed. He was extremely nice and gave me a good price on a new system. The crew was scheduled quickly and they did a great Job. I highly recommend them!

A big thank you to John H. Coleman company! Our upstairs heat went out last night. I left a message last night for someone to call me first thing this morning. I received a call at 7:30 am that a technician was on the way. Heat was back on before 9:00 a.m. We highly recommend the Comfort Care program.
