Great service from the initial phone call to the installation. Everyone was professional and I give them my highest recommendation.

Our air conditioner went out at 6pm on the hottest of evenings, the beginning of Labor Day weekend. Carlos came out on call and had our unit working in less than 2 hrs, he was very professional, explained the issue thoroughly, fixed the problem and took notes/pictures of our 30yr old unit so when the time ultimately comes and we need to call them again for replacement it will be a super efficient process. Couldn't be happier on this 100* evening—Thank you Carlos!

Suzanne W.
Carlos was very friendly and informative. Highly recommend

Itisi K.
Amazing!!! Great job cleaning my duct work! They did a great job with my pre-move in cleaning. The previous owner had lots of pets, which means my ducts were full of pet hair and dirt!! I can move in and feel very comfortable knowing that the air is clean.

Phyllis P.
Very prompt, just called this morning and was out in 2 hours delayed only by rain. He had the parts, very professional and friendly. Explained exactly what was needed and gave me a price. I have used R J Nelsen for a couple years and extremely happy with their service. Highly recommend!

My AC was out on a hot day. They were prompt and courteous and after some difficulties did get the AC on. Absolutely Fantastic!

Cindy V.
Our AC went out and we called RJ Nelson. They came that day to check it out and informed us we needed new. Their estimate was fair and they came quickly and installed AC and furnace. Jeff Maguire and team were amazing. They were organized, personable and competent. They cleaned up after themselves and things are working great! We are RJ Nelson cheerleaders! THANKS!

Barb P.
People are always nice. They are courteous and take care of my equipment. Wouldn't call anyone else.

Wow. Carlos was so knowledgeable really knows his job. He saved my friend Joe a disabled vet I care for. Was so good with Joe's dog. No problem. Joe is really happy Carlos took his situation in consideration to assure the AC would hopefully keep going. At first he though it was loose wires low freon bad a coil or maybe the thermostat. He worked tirelessly to make sure it wasn't something like the compressor but after checking and rechecking everything a new ac is Joe's best bet. And even better he said he could install Wednesday. Were so thankful. And thankyou rj nelson for getting Carlos out today. You know I had called 6 other HVAC people and told them the situation but they either were booked way out or way too expensive. Were so thankful that rj nelson and it's emotes like Carlos really care.

Ashley was extremely helpful & informative when I placed the call requesting service. She was able to get Alvin to my house within 2 hours of my call ! Alvin was also extremely polite & informative - (& also has the patience of a saint considering he had to work around all the toys in the basement) Thank you both so much ! I will definitely be a returning customer !

Nikita R.
So impressed by their service . My A/C stopped working on a very hot Saturday . I left message with their answering service at 6AM Sunday morning. Received a phone call from their Tech a bit after 7AM the same day. He was at my home, had everything fixed by 8:30AM. Tech was super knowledgeable , professional , and I feel I was charged fairly. Could not recommend this company more!

Kimberly P.
Came first thing in the morning fixed the problem quickly at a very good price. Will use this service when needed again.

Michael L.
It was outstanding service we would recommend RJNelson to everyone. 5pm on a Saturday eveing in 100 degree heat and it took less then 2 hours from phone call for service to job done and air working. That's outstanding. And the repair guy was very pleasant and helpful.
