Every season, we get hundreds of calls from folks having trouble with their heating and cooling system. From water leaks to low refrigerant levels, the result is always the same-YOU ARE INCONVENIENCED! After the repair, we almost always determine that a regular, "planned" maintenance program could have prevented it.
At Howell's, we understand that no other single system in your home plays a larger role in your comfort or how much your utility bill will be than your heating & AC system. That's why we specialize in cost-effective high-efficiency solutions, including natural gas, propane and oil furnaces and heat pumps.

The tech was on time to do a routine semi-annual maintenance check of our HVAC units ... he had a couple of recommendations and completed the work in a thoughtful, thorough, professional manner.

Matt was very good. He had to replace a part. The service department found a part that saved me some money. I would definitely recommend this company. Everyone I dealt was very pleasant.

Howell’s has been maintaining our HVAC for at least 5 years, and in 2020, replaced our very old system. They represented their products honestly, helped us to make a very good choice, provided a fair price, and they continue to provide maintenance service. We are very pleased with our system. The service staff today was on-time, pleasant, and thorough. We find Howell’s to be very reliable.

These guys are incredible! I had rental tenants that needed heat fixed and then my personal heat went out 2 days later! They were there within 2 hours and were done quick! I actually learned a few things! I know this sounds like a commercial, but I would recommend to anyone!

I’ve used Howell’s for maybe 30 years. Always professional and punctual. They are also neat and tidy. CL was great! He was nice and knowledgeable. He explained all the issues to me until I understood. Believe me, that wasn’t easy!

Howells customer service was responsive and flexible. The total cost of the repair was very affordable and the technicians were skilled and provided exact part numbers to allow expedited shipping of a new heating motor unit. Everyone was gracious and followed up when asked to call back. Would definitely recommend this company.

I have used Howell’s since 1984. I would never even think of using anyone else. They are ALWAYS on time, courteous, efficient and thorough. They go the extra mile to help solve a problem and I never have felt that I was paying too much.

Today was our semi annual service. We had Mark V as our technician. He came inside masked and with shoe covers without even asking. Service was efficient and he was very kind with the feedback about the service. We have utilized Howell's for over 10 years for service and repairs at our prior and current home.

Mark showed up on time as expected and did an amazing job. Diagnosed and fixed the issue in a timely manner. Mark answered all my questions and took care of anything to make our ac unit perform efficiently. He also cleaned up after himself and made sure everything looked tidy. I highly recommend Howell’s and personally ask for Mark! He’s the best and you will not regret your choice! A+++

The diagnosis is quite high at $140 but the experience was very professional, responsive, and the tech was pleasant and knowledgeable. He was also empathetic to the diagnosis given it was not going to be a quick fix.

USE SOMEONE ELSE!!
Had a contract for bi-annual cleaning and maintenance FOR YEARS.
THEY ARE NOT UP TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS!!
Reputable contractor was HORRIFIED by condition of my system !!!!!
HORRIBLE!!
****Look under Doug and Jeanine Wisor. We are definitely in your system.
OUR contractor took several photos in disbelief and was dumbfounded Howells collected $payment for "service" all the while never informing us the condition of the system that was in place.
