  • Marcus and his team are awesome and timely. They explained exactly what the problem was and offered an economical option. They keep in touch throughout the day and let you know when the team is on their way. I appreciate it!

  • We were connected via home warranty company. The first time they came was fine, they fixed the unit quickly and left. The AC unit broke again and they returned (over an hour past the time window) and said it needed replacing. 1. When my husband called to ask where the tech was and why they were an hour late, the person who answered the phone was rude. (Why are you being rude when you’re the one who is late?) 2. When they gave our warranty company the quote for replacing the unit, they said we needed multiple “code violations” fixed and needed to pay out of pocket. When we requested the quote in writing, we were told to call the warranty company. 3. The warranty company sent me BACK to Howard Aire, who then refused to provide the quote and texted that they no longer wanted to do the repair. Scam? You decide.

  • HowardAire Services, LLC delivered outstanding service from start to finish. They handled our whole‑house HVAC replacement with professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care for our multi‑generational family home. The team was prompt, knowledgeable, and made sure every detail was done right — not just for today, but for long‑term value and comfort. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with integrity, and HowardAire truly exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

  • After my old HVAC system died, HowardAire was recommended to service the unit. They explained the issues and the cost for repair. Since the unit was about 17 years old, I asked about the cost to replace instead. There was no hard sale or push to buy a new unit. Instead Marcus explained the options and left it up to me. I opted for a new install and I am glad I did. The install didn't take long and they even cleaned up behind themselves. The next day they sent a person to check the system and a few days later I received a call to make sure everything was still working well and if I had any questions. Now that's customer service at its best.

  • The team at HowardAire replaced an 18 year old heat pump. The technicians arrived on time, were very friendly and professional. They completed the removal and new installation in record time. I am very pleased with the new Trane heat pump that they installed. I highly recomend them for all of your HVAC needs.

  • Only giving one star because the ability to give 0 is not an option. It’s 18 degrees inside and I have been calling this company since Dec 5th to fix my mom’s HVAC . They either so not answer the phone or do not respond to texts . I finally talked to the RUDEST person today and they basically did not care that we have been without adequate heating since winter began. Told me to complain to whoever I felt fitting. These are the type of people you DO NOT want to hire. If you can avoid Lazy , lackadaisical company’s this is the one to avoid .! I will be contacting the BBB and complaining !

    Keondra J.

  • We were pleased that Howardaire could get us on the schedule on short notice. Brian, the technician, communicated well and fixed our heating problem quickly. He explained everything he was doing. They charged a fair price with full transparency. We’ll be sure to use them again in the future.

    Khrista H.

  • HowardAire provided expert attention to my heating issue with a quick response and had the system running within a very short time of arrival. Additionally, they performed diagnostic testing on both the outdoor unit as well as the indoor unit verifying the operational worthiness of the unit!

    Edwin M.

  • We had a terrible time dealing with our home insurance doing their job, but once we got that straight , Howardaire was on it!!! Marcus was great to deal with! He had his guys come out and replace our whole unit in a few hours , updated our wiring and thermostat, everything they installed looks great!

    Scott G.

  • Be wary of Howardaire services. My home warranty company sent them to fix my hvac unit. The diagnosis was there was a leak in the line set. I don’t think they even looked at the notes of the diagnosis because they were at my house for 4-5 hrs trying to find the leak. They took out some part that wasn’t even on the diagnosis notes and said hopefully they fixed it. They didn’t. They came back out weeks later and said the evaporator coil was leaking. I had to get that replaced plus refill freon($1250). After a week, no air again. I called another company and they came out and found the leak in 2 minutes. They had to re-souder the line and put more Freon. Of course I had to pay for it. But it is fixed. I don’t understand how this very obvious leak was missed by Howardaire. I do not recommend this company.

  • HowardAire did an excellent job on our project! From start to finish, they were professional, timely, and very communicative, keeping us updated at every step. Their team showed up exactly when they said they would and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The quality of their work speaks for itself—we could tell they take pride in doing things right. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, reliability, and customer care so well.

  • Excellent service and expertise! Marcus runs a great company with stellar response times and knowledge.

  • Our AC went out last Thursdays . I contacted HOWARDAire Services. I immediately received a response and my AC has been fixed! They prompt, professional and knowledgeable in the AC! They are the best.

    Susan R.

  • On yesterday 5/3122 Marcus from HowardAire came out to service my air conditioner. I had been having an issue for 6 weeks and another company had been out 6 times. Marcus came out and allowed me to explain everything I had been through and he worked really hard to find my problem. I thought it was leak the entire time and he took the time to take everything apart and look for the problem. He put alot of time and effort into finding my issue. He didn't leave until he found my leak and had my air working. I was very pleased with his work.

  • These guys were AMAZING! They were very professional, timely, knowledgeable and helpful. They went above and beyond the expectations and even corrected an issue that a previous contractor had botched, I was very impressed with the no-nonsense approach of their craft. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and anyone who needs HVAC services and installation.

    Charles L.

  • My home warranty company sent these guys out to fix my A/C after it broke. Never again. While the technician was super helpful and knowledgeable, their other employees are another story. Their office never answered my voicemails, never updated me (I had to pester the poor technician for any info), never even told me what the costs would be. I've been without A/C for TWO WEEKS. Marcas or Marcus, whoever is the person who is supposed to answer the phone, never does. Find some other company who will be professional, communicative, and actually return phone calls.

    Sam S.

  • Marcas Howard of HowardAire did a wonderful job of repairing my AC as we begin this spring/summer season. Service was quick and it was effectively done! I will be using HowardAire in the future and will recommend him to others as well.

  • The team at HowardAire is amazing, not really any other way to describe the level of customer service, timeliness, professionalism, and care that they provided for us. We had to have warranty work done (ended up being a replacement) for one of our heat pumps and from start-to-finish, HowardAire had us up and running in 13 days. That’s dealing with the warranty company and ordering/receiving the heat pump and installing it. Not to mention the 90-min one way trips (x4) to my house…and then the heat pump the warranty company ordered didn’t have some of the mounting parts it was supposed to, so they made a trip to Lowes (90 min round trip) to get what they needed to make sure it was done correctly. These guys were great all around. Answered all of my questions, put me at ease, and took care of us after the local company wanted to charge $1800 for an unnecessary test after dragging out the claim process for 51 days…HowardAire diagnosed the issues in about 30-40 min simply by listening to us when we told them what was going on, then applying their expertise. If you’re in the market for any heating or A/C type work, HowardAire should be your first and only stop if you want a quality experience. Thanks fellas!

  • Howardaire Services has always provided timely and reliable service! I highly recommend them for your HVAC needs.

    Selena C.

  • Refreshing to work with this company, and that comes from someone that’s dealt with lots of HVAC companies. Very responsive and professional. We had a unit that was not working and contacted Mr. Howard. The technician Corey came out and diagnosed the issue; when he returned with parts needed, he was very quick to make the repair. Corey was considerate and wore shoe protection when he came in the home, which I appreciated! The owner Mr. Howard is very kind and explained things clearly when I called with questions, and when I’ve called subsequently. I would highly recommend them for residential or commercial services.

  • The HowardAire team was punctuational and very professional. They worked hard (and long hours) to get my unit installed as quickly as possible. I am pleased with how the unit was installed in my attic. It was neatly done and I have plenty of space for storage. I have already referred HowardAire to a potential client.

    Rochelle G.

  • We first discovered HowardAire Services through HMS Home Warranty back in 2018. In January 2020, our home warranty expired; we contacted them directly; they fixed my heating system and gas fireplace. Marcus (Owner) does a wonderful job within a reasonable amount of time and doesn't overcharge for the work. I will continue to use HowardAire for all my HVAC needs.

    S R.

  • We contacted HowardAire, and Marcus, the owner, showed up to do the work. Marcus took care of my Central AC, heating system, and gas fireplace as they all stopped working correctly. Marcus does a great job within a reasonable time and doesn't overcharge for the repairs or maintenance. I will continue to call HowardAire for any HVAC needs in the future.

    Domingo R.

  • Had a new HVAC system installed. Honest and reasonable prices, quick response time, great work, and the technicians were knowledgeable and professional. There was a minor issue after the install. We texted them and they immediately responded and were at our house within the hour and corrected the issue. I reccomend this company, and plan to use them to maintain our new system.

    Stephanie D.

  • I am happy with the work that he did on my system. My system works like new. Great job!
