DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!! Not only did they show up extremely late but they misdiagnosed our AC issue and attempted to overcharge. They did not initially mention a service charge during the call and sprung it on us after our quote. Our parts were under warranty but they quoted $1,400 solely for labor. The labor entailed changing a small part that would have taken no more than 15 minutes. They told us our system required 9lbs of refrigerant where it clear as day says 4.5lbs on the system. Deliberately tried to take advantage of a family with a baby who desperately needed their AC repaired. Inexperienced and unqualified technicians. Paid $85 for them to tell me all the wrong things. Look anywhere else.
My family has been using this company for years. They've always provided us honest feedback on pricing for repairs and maintenance. This means a lot to a family on a tight budget. We never feel like we are charged for unnecessary items. All charges are explained and examined in great detail before being followed through. We greatly appreciate this company and we will always recommend their services.
My experience with Nelson Comfort was positive from beginning to end. I have a 100 year old home that did not have central AC on the 2nd or 3rd floors and no simple way of installing it. The salesman , Greg, came up with a very creative way of positioning and installing all of the system components in closets and crawl spaces. These details were fine tuned by Greg returning to our house with an installer before ordering materials. When the work started we had 2 foreman, Keith and Elijah, and their crews working on our job. The foremen were polite, knowledgeable and hardworking. Their apprentices were polite and respectful as well. Working in a house such as ours with wood lath and plaster walls and ceilings is messy, but the crews did their best to minimize the dust and debris and cleaned up well each day. I am in the commercial construction business and know when a job is done well (or poorly). Our job was definitely done well. I highly recommend Nelson Comfort for new system installations. Jim P.
Okay company. Friendly technician. However they charge a trip fee every time they come out. If it was a one and done trip fee it wouldn’t be a big deal, but they came out and didn’t have the part to fix it and would have to go to the warehouse to get it so I would be charged another 128 dollars to go get the part which is not cool. Any service done on the same day should only be one trip fee in my opinion.
This is the second review I've written for Nelson Comfort & I'll likely continue giving this company glowing reviews for the professional work they provide. The first time I met a Nelson Comfort agent I was letting them into my sister's house, who was currently in the hospital delivering her first child, to fix her AC. Nelson was extremely empathetic & came to the rescue ridiculously quickly. Fast forward a little over a year later & my husband & I are in almost the exact same situation. We were eight months pregnant needing a sudden full HVAC replacement. Both experiences I worked with Spencer who is willing to go above & beyond to give you an honest & fair assessment. He's willing to take the time to fully investigate the issue before determining a fix, which is very rare in the HVAC business. Prior to becoming a Nelson customer, we hired a different company to do a wellness check. However, within moments of walking in our door & after a brief two to three minute assessment the representative attempted to sell us a new full HVAC. We still had three good years left before needing to make that investment & we're very glad we became connected with Nelson Comfort before that time came.
Had Nelson come out twice for two different heating issues. First time, they were unable to do anything and I paid the service fee. It happens, all good. Second time, I noticed our furnace was intermittently short cycling and wanted to get it checked out before extreme weather hit later in the week. They came out Monday and said everything looked fine and I paid to service the unit. By Friday, the outside temp drops to negative digits and we were sitting in our 50 degree house with space heaters and a no heat. I call them up but never got through to anyone after multiple tries. Never again.
Love the geothermal unit BUT it has been a YEAR and if they don't respond to me (I have left 2 messages) about resolving how their contractor left our front yard, after he dug the trench for the unit, I WILL HAVE A BIG ISSUE. We paid them A LOT of money and expressed concern about this from the beginning. They said it would "settle." It hasn't. Now they need to address it.
Terrible! Take your money elsewhere! We have a commercial contract for quarterly cleanings for our business and they never actually do these cleanings unless you harass them, finally to get them to come out once I had to threaten them with our legal team getting involved… and when they come out actually watch them do the work because everytime I have a maintenance issue it’s usually because the system is so dirty that it stopped functioning, and the repair person says when is the last time this was maintenance which tells me the maintenance is not being done. Tonight on the coldest night in 10 years, our heat system failed us and pipes burst and we called them for emergency services and their response was they have nobody on call on the coldest night and they hung up on us. bad company
Today Nelson Comfort installed a replacement four-inch Aprilaire Media passive air filter to replace the 20-year old electronic air cleaner. They also installed an "I-Wave" ionizer internally to the airducts at the furnace, which cleans the air and kills pathogens. So the house should have cleaner air and also provide a measure of safety even against the COVID virus, which apparently the I-Wave will kill on contact.
The technician Tyler was right on time at 8:00am and finished his work ahead of schedule. He showed me the installation and his work and is very professional. I would recommend the company and their services. their technicians are always polite and respectful of the house and wear booties and masks as well.
Today is another day, 3.17.22. Matt came out and arrived at 7:50am, right on time. I am remodeling the lower level family room, which on the last remodel did not include supply ductwork for heating and cooling. Matt installed two supply ducts and one return duct, and closed off an supply elsewhere and made a couple of other small repairs. He was very attentive, listened carefully, and took care of the little details. He was outstanding. Very pleased, Finished by 11:10am.

My service associate, Larry, is very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Nelson Comfort to take care of your HVAC needs.
