Howald Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing

My last two experiences with Howald have been very disappointing. We are on their scheduled maintenance plan and have been a customer for six years. Shortly after their last maintenance visit in the spring we noticed water all over our basement floor. Turns out the condensate drain was blocked, as it obviously wasn't cleaned as part of the scheduled maintenance. They sent a tech out to fix it (can't do the job right but always have time to do the job over) at no charge and we were left to clean up the mess. Today they were supposed to come out again for a maintenance check. They called yesterday to confirm the appointment but DIDN'T SHOW. I called their office and received a call back stating they had a tech out sick and had to reschedule their appointments. Too bad they didn't call me on the number I gave them to reach me, even though the person I spoke to stated their CSR log showed a note with the correct number and it also showed they called a different one. I guess poor service, cutting corners and failure to follow directions is simply becoming the ""new normal"" these days...

12/8/22 UPDATE: Howald rescheduled, sent a tech on time, and David did a great job answering my questions and giving our furnace a thorough inspection. I'm hoping my prior experience is the exception rather than the rule.

Howald team replaced our furnace last year (Michael and Russ did a great job) and most recently we called Howald to come work on our plumbing.

Scheduling was easy and we didn't have to wait very long (1-2 days at most). Their office communicated appointment details and all the updates proactively, so we always knew what to expect and when the crew would come. Joe and Austin were professional, friendly, and got our vintage faucet fixed in under an hour. Very happy with the result and all the work was priced reasonably.

We will definitely use Howald for our future house needs and recommend to everyone.

I called Howald immediately after my furnace went out (of course it had to be the coldest week of the season), and they were extremely responsive and reliable. They showed up a couple hours later to diagnose the problems, gave a fair estimate, and the next day I had a new furnace installed! They even offer 2 free tune ups after installation. Definitely recommend them for your hvac and plumbing needs!

This was our first time to have Howald do our seasonal AC check-up and I could not have had a more positive experience. James was on time, polite and very knowledgable. After identifying some issues that needed attention, he would thoroughly explain why and how it should be addressed. Unlike other service providers, I never felt like he was trying to sell me something. And, the service contract provides a nice savings! Again, if you need service for your AC or furnace, give Howald a call!

Howald provided exceptional service again. Howald is our go-to for our HVAC needs including replace our complete system 5 years ago. We had a plumbing issues so I called them. Wow!! They were able to address our shower issue in one call and serviced our other shower as well. I thought it was a valve issue, but their technician (Sam) determined it was a completely clogged filter. He had us up in running (water) in no time. Now our visiting family members have their own shower! Thanks

Always prompt to return your call. Have used them for both plumbing and HVAC issues. Knowledgeable local people that get the job done and have always treated us well.

Very satisfied customer.

My family has used Howald for ... well, for as long as I can remember. I rely on their service for heating and air inspections. Recently I needed a plumber. I had a great experience! My plumber arrived, took a look, offered suggestions and then while he fixed things he offered to show me what was wrong and what to look for in the future. He also gave me tips for managing old pipes- I have an older home and it's just part of it. The safety protocols for COVID-19 have been consistent with each visit I've had over the last year. I recommend Howald any day!

Howald has my business for life. They have gone above and beyond for me. They have showed up at night in a storm and saved me. They are always courteous and kind. Do yourself a favor and try them out, you deserve it.

We have used Howald for several years for heating and plumbing services. Every specialist that has been in our home has been courteous, prompt and helpful with explaining any issues and costs.

We have had minor and major repairs done. Recently we needed a new thermostat user interface and the technician, James, helped me set up some functions and the app on my phone. He went above and beyond.

We paid a fee to be in a plan that includes routine maintenance, discounts and priority in scheduling. So far that has paid off nicely since the furnace in our new home has had several issues.

Will be recommending this business to friends and family.

After another plumbing company came out and misdiagnosed where the source of a leak was, I called Howald. Austin responded immediately and came out within an hour. It turned out to be an issue for HVAC and not plumbing. Dan from HVAC was on call for the weekend and came out the same evening. He quickly found the problem and fixed it. So thankful for the intelligent employees at Howald!
