Scammers. Their quality of work is always shoddy and their pricing is an insult to the consumer. Their proposal was 1,000$ more expensive than what I actually paid for quality repairs. Go elsewhere.

My company had service for a commercial property in December 2020 to repair our A/C and was told they had done just that. Two guys spent all day long on the roof and we ended up paying close to $3000 for the repair. Come May 2021, we turn on the air conditioning to find it doesn't work. (Whomp whomp) I called and spoke with Crystal, and she stated I would have to pay for another tech to come out and take a look for services her company did not complete in December. I disclosed that the unit has not been turned on in the 6 months after the repair, and all she did was bring up the 6 month maintenance

If I Can leave 0 out of 5 I will!!! Never ever deal with this company. Very Misleading and dishonest. We have to let another company fix their mess. I am truly disgusted about how they do business. Hopefully, someone from management would be aware of the daily operation of their techs.

I called for a fall service appt after receiving a flyer in the mail. I was able to get an appointment with an 8am - 9am service window for the following week and was told I was the 1st appt of the day. The technician was already 30m late when I called to ask about his whereabouts. He arrived 5-10m later. The service tech told me I had a sensor, significant leak and needed to replace my furnace. My unit was last serviced in February and no such repairs were indicated, so I called another service provider who arrived today. He advised me that although my unit is old, it is not in need of replacement

These guys are top notch! I'm the Head Brewer at Lost Rhino Brewing and definitely recommend Vernon. They got us through a very difficult time when our cold box died. They were on it within 24 hrs and got a whole new system on line extremely quick! They worked nothing less than a miracle. They are all about customer service. Also they are backed by trade knowledge.
Cheers to Vernon!

I recently used Vernon for HVAC Repair Services. Scheduling was a breeze. The technician arrived on time and solved the problem the first time. We recommend this company to anyone looking for a high quality service provider in Northern VA.

Initially, I was impressed by the very friendly and professional sales person I spoke to on the phone about signing up for a bi-annual service contract with Vernon. Unfortunately, the completely unprofessional behavior of the technician that came to perform a service check on our HVAC unit and the lack of accountability from the main office has soured my opinion on the company. He claimed that it took him an hour to travel to our office from DC in the middle of the day, for which we were charged their hourly rate (It regularly takes me 20 mins, 40 mins in morning rush hour traffic and I drive like
