I had them install a new communicating air conditioner to pair with my existing furnace. Other companies said it wasn't possible but this company said no problem at all. We got it scheduled and completed within a week. The price was reasonable. They were clean and professional and everything was completed within just a few hours. The system has been working great so I'm very happy with my choice.

July/2026. During this extreme heat wave, our A/C was having issues. Called at 9am and was told there would be someone at our home between 10-noon!!! Outstanding service. Rick texted me to say he was on his way. What a personal, qualified, informative company. Would never use another company and will always recommend to anyone.

This company is like their name says, "Affordable". It was refreshing to receive an invoice that didn't break the bank for a repair for once. Extremely reasonable pricing compared to other places. As to the repair done on our AC, Kati, (yes a woman), was exceptional in every way. She went above and beyond, even checking things she really didn't have to. She was very thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. Every question I asked, she answered, in detail, and explained what she was doing or checking during the whole process. Very happy to have hired this company, and even happier to have gotten Kati as the technician.

Our A/C unit blew up on a Thursday in July. We were very aware of how old our (still functioning) furnace was so we knew 100% we wanted to replace both. I called for an estimate. Mark came to our home the following Tuesday at 9am. On time and neatly/professionally dressed for the occasion. We were also aware of how old our hot water tank was. Mark was pleasant and personable. We called Affordable because they were close by; small business; and local. Mark advised that we would also need a new hot water tank or he would not be able to perform the work required due to newer code requirements and available space. I understood and requested a seperate estimate for the hot water tank (because I was considering paying that up from and not including it in financing). Mark advised that he would do so. I requested the quote on a 2 stage furnace and single stage A/C. Mark was here for less than 15 minutes. He advised he would send me the estimate either later that day or the following day. I asked if he had my email address and he said yes. I knew he had my phone number as he texted before arrival. It has now been 3 days. 82 hours to be exact. We never did receive the estimate... Or a call.... Or an email. We have been without A/C for over a week (not that I'm going to die). I had 2 estimates from 2 other companies on the Friday & Saturday before this. Both those estimates were given to us BEFORE the salesperson even left our home. We wanted to make sure we gave sufficient opportunity to local small businesses before making this large investment. We signed with another company 2 days (54 hours after waiting for an estimate from Mark at Affordable). 2 stage furnace, 1 stage a/c AND tankless hot water system. Over $18K. Maybe this small business is doing better than some struggling small businesses and they don't need our business. I hope that is the case. But the fact that we were completely ghosted without explanation reflects extremely poorly and I would never recommend anyone wasting time getting an estimate from them. Look for a company that is actively pursuing your business and hard-earned dollars. P.S. I even checked my spam just in case!

We had a great experience with Affordable Heating & Cooling and subsequent dealings with Mark and Rick. Since our furnace was on borrowed time last fall, we reached out to Rick for help- and we’re so glad we did. They installed a new heat pump along with a new furnace unit, and the difference in our home was noticeable right away. Our house now stays at a much more comfortable, consistent temperature—definitely warmer this past winter and expect cooler more efficient results this summer. The system they installed is high-efficiency, which gives us peace of mind moving forward, and the whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Mark and Rick are knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to make sure everything was done right. We’re very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing heating or cooling work done.

We can't recommend these guys enough! When we had issues we called and one of the owners Rick picked up gave us some instructions to keep the heat on until he could show up the next day. They didn't sugar coat anything and recommended a new furnace and same day the other owner Mark gave us a reasonable quote that was within our budget and also lent us a heater for the weekend ! Not like handy bros that came over with sale tactics and a price that was way over our budget. We also had an excellent experience with their technician Kyle and Cory that installed our furnace and took the time to explain everything and prepped everything so they wouldn't dirty our floors and cleaned up before they left. Again highly recommend!

Fantastic service technician ...Kate...and customer service. She arrived on time...booked for maintenance visit and new thermostat. We bought furnace and ac from them 15 years ago. We had maintenance checkup once. This time we needed a new battery which she replaced as well. Went above and beyond to explain why and showed me everything for testing. Even checked pump on the furnace plus other small adjustments. Very reasonable pricing and quotes.. no surprises. She was extremely confident and a great communicator. Would highly recommend. No issues at all with furnace and accessories unit we bought that they recommended..working great.

Fantastic company! Our blower motor randomly died on us, just as the weather started to warm up. Within a few hours of calling, Mark came to our home and gave us a price. Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. They sent a crew of 3 and installed a new unit in record time. They left our home clean and locked up on their way out. We will recommend to any one in the future.

Thank you for following up with me in the new year and fixing my fireplace after another company attempted to and it didn't work. Your technician Katie was amazing, patient, and truly took the time to figure out that my thermopile was damaged and had to be replaced. She stayed until it was working consistently for 20-30 mins in Jan and it's still going strong.

WOW! Can't say enough about this company & our technician Katie! On time (actually called to let us know she was on her way), in fact ahead of schedule. And, I called for service only a couple hours earlier (same day)! So professional, knowledgeable and personable. Very informative with tips for us. Her troubleshooting skills are impeccable. Saved us some money by signing us up for regular maintenance. I think she really enjoys her work. At least that's the vibe she gives off. Without hesitation I would recommend this company and in particular Katie. Thanks again Katie :)

I can't say enough good things about this company. I've had them out for heating, cooling, and fireplace repairs and maintenance and always had a good experience. The services techs have come when they say they are going to, they and friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly are their to help you not take advantage of you. Easy 5 stars

Excellent service and fair pricing. Katie did a fantastic job, thoroughly explained everything and is very pleasant to deal with. I will be a return customer.

From start to finish this company is solid to this point. Sales, price, installation, top notch. Only small draw back is I'm old school & appreciate a follow up call after the job is done. Installers were great, they had a problem locating a leak but were persistent in finding & solving the issue. I'd call them again for sure. Professional & quick installation of my dual mini split system. Recommend this company 100% 👌 👏 👍

What a great experience, X2. First we needed a water heater and Mark took care of that in no time at all. Then two days later, the furnace igniter stopped working. Kate diagnosed that quickly, went out to the truck, got one and installed it! We had heat again. Great Team you have Rick.

I highly recommend Affordable Heating and Cooling, they installed a new furnace in my condo. They arrived when they said they would and completed the work on time. They were sensitive and did their best not to disrupt us while completing the work. They left the space clean and tidy.
