I have been consistently impressed by R & B Incorporated over many years. Recently, my gas furnace required emergency service and the HVAC technician, Jorge Romero, came out quickly and fixed the problem. He also noticed some unusual behavior and found a crack in the heat exchanger, making the furnace unsafe to operate. His meticulous attention to detail is greatly appreciated. Also, several years ago a R & B incorporated technician installed at Nest thermostat and their corporate office professionally handled a post install billing issue; no questions asked. I highly recommend R & B Incorporated

I've used their services at least three times in the past and this time I called to get a quote on a new hvac system for my rental. I asked the lady if the estimator would be able to call me while he was there so we could discuss options as the space for the unit is small and challenging. She acted like I was asking for the moon and said he might call a few days after that. It was pretty amazing. I called her out in how it wasn't a lot to ask for a phone call since I had to be at work and she didn't adjust her attitude. I told her I'd be taking my business elsewhere.

Hi neighbors- I just wanted to share the great experience we've had with R&B AC/Heating. My AC broke and they came and fixed it for a reasonable price. What I like about this company is that they are honest and completely upfront. Yes- I paid the energency after hours fee- but they were completely upfront about it. Thank you Dave for fixing our AC tonight and all the technicians that have come over the years from this company. I am so pleased with this company!!!! I just wanted to share!

Based on positive reviews on this site, I contacted R&B for a service contract on a new Fujitsu ductless mini-split system installed in my home about a year ago. I was told a service contract would come to my email address within a few days. It didn't. Assuming the request might have gotten lost in the Covid/remote-work shuffle, I called again. I was told a service contract would come to my email address within a few days. It didn't. I saw on the company website that one could email someone named "Mike" directly. I emailed Mike and said I was interested in signing a service

R&B installed our A/C system 20 years ago and have maintained and repaired it when necessary it ever since. They also service our boiler and did a major repair on it a few years ago. I can't recommend them highly enough for these types of services.

Christian Earhart of R&B heating and air conditioning did a great job today in identifying an issue with a high efficiency a/c system and finding a leak on a second house. Their price was reasonable, service was prompt with a call and email beforehand by Phann White, who noted and honored a request for additional prep time before the call.
Chris wore mask, gloves and foot protectors in both homes and was cognizant of social distancing.
I would definitely request him again!
R&B is a great consumer choice.

After a year of touch and go reliability problems with my 20+ year old heat pump, the grim reaper finally showed up and "old reliable" made its final revolution. I was prepared for the news and had no reservations calling R & B, our neighborhood HVAC business. I knew I'd pay a bit more than a cut-rate outfit but the customer service and installers were incredibly good and professional. The first guy came out to look at my old unit and a new one was installed over the next two days. While I never was without heat overnight, they offered to lend us space heaters overnight, which

I was looking forward to perhaps installing an Unico system in my one bedroom condo. My condo has very limited space, and I really need to build out a closet. The Hvac is hampering me from doing so. I needed it either reconfigured or replaced, and was hoping for some help from them. Not to mention the current system is attached to an old ceiling above the current ceiling that is concaving in. So there is some serious repair and/or replacement that needs to happen.

The service technician that came not only canceled and hour before our scheduled appointment the first time, but was completely

Recommended to me by a friend who is very particular - I was looking for an honest HVAC company and having the hardest time as many of these contractors in NO VA are crooks. R&B Incorporated came out on time, diagnosed the situation correctly and showed up at the appointed time with the new air conditioner unit at a fair price. The installation team was polite, knowledgeable, and did a craftsman-like job, and cleaned up 100% afterwards. My wife commented "They were the Best". I examined their work and its very professional. See the photos - they silicone seal the humidifier to the coil and supplied

The house we purchased has an HVAC with a record of maintenance, performed by R&B. It is obvious that they removed the filter from the internal unit and did not replace. I called to discuss, but they repeatedly would not return my phone calls. The previous owner was duped, but I will be using someone else. You should too.

We had R&B replace our gas powered furnace in January for us and didn't have any issues with that. However, I'm fairly sure R&B put the wrong sized unit in our home since our air return makes a noise whenever the unit turns on. The cost at the time was cheaper to other providers in the area. R&B beat another company in price but matched their two yearr warranty offering. R&B's install technicians arrived on-time and completed the install in the time they promised. They were quite tidy and seemed to be very cognizant of the area they were working in.

R&B installed the a/c Unoco unit about 4 years ago. Recently, the unit was only give warm air in the heat of summer.

Jose came over to service it. Very professional and honest. Was only a couple hundred dollars including service call fee.

Very trustworthy and good people!

My unit broke down on Sunday when it was about 97 degrees and I called R&B Sunday evening and left a message on answering service and they called back by 9 am Monday and was able to get me on their schedule by Tuesday.

Not only did they fix my AC they also did a courtesy follow up to ensure that my AC is still working.

I cannot thank R&B enough for their quick turnaround and their attention to customer satisfaction.

I recently had an AC unit repaired by R&B based on recommendations I read on Yelp. I was hoping to find a company I could rely on in the future, but sadly, the search will have to continue.

So that you can gauge response times, I called in the repair on a Tuesday morning and they couldn't fit me into their schedule until Friday. The basic service call charge is $127.95, which is fairly standard. Even though the unit was under warranty, the technician balked at performing any work because I purchased it from some other company (he claimed he couldn't do warranty work on a Carrier

R&B just replaced the compressor in our air conditioning unit and did a first-rate job. From start to finish, our experience with R&B was overwhelmingly positive and professional.

Our Rheem air conditioning unit just gave out...at the wrong time of course, and we called our go-to company, Kesterson. Because of warranty issues, we had to use R&B, and I'm glad we had the chance to see what they could do.

We initially contacted them via their website (because it was late in the evening). By 5:30 that morning, I received an email detailing what I could expect in the coming hours

These guys were a lifesaver. We have a 4 Monty old baby, so one Friday we woke u p and our basement had pools of water around the a/c. . It had recently been in the 90s the day before so I knew the a/c had been working overtime.

Really there are two things thatll have cause the problem And neither am I prepared to handle myself. We turned the a/c off and started to call around to find an appointment.

My wife got ahold of the dispatch / office manager at R and B and explained the situation. Also explained we had a baby and they were sympathetic, the lady explained she could squeeze us in BUT
