A neighbor recommended Patriot Air and Im so glad they did. Our furnace stopped working and the temps were dropping quickly in the house. I was able to schedule an appointment and the tech arrived shortly after I had called to schedule. Scott Carrozza was amazing! His customer service was excellent, he answered all of my questions and even taught me a thing or two. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Patriot Air. They installed a new Central Air conditioner for me in March of 2021. I had used a different company to replace the furnace in fall of 2020. The patriot air technicians not only did an excellent job on the air conditioning unit but *fixed* a lot of the poor workmanship of the other company. In August of 2021 my tankless hot water heater went out so I did not hesitate to call Patriot Air. Again, the technicians demonstrated a real pride in their work. In both instances, the technicians were polite and friendly and explained everything they were

The technician Scott Carrozza was prompt, extremely courteous, and very knowledgeable. He pointed out the issue, explained it in non-technical laymen's terms so I could understand it, corrected the issue, and gave me some pointers on what to look for if I had any further issues. I will definitely be doing business with Patriot Air in the future.

Need a new furnace? Temperatures below freezing? Have no fear Patriot Air is here! Our furnace went out on a Sunday, we left a message with them Sunday, Monday morning we got a return phone call. On Tuesday morning first thing we had someone here to tell us what we needed and Wednesday by 2:00 we had a new furnace installed. It was that easy. The entire staff was amazing to work with, very polite and so accommodating. We highly recommend Patriot Air!

Heat was not fully heating the house and throwing an error. David came out same day, diagnosed the issue and ordered necessary parts. Parts were not available for 3-4 days, so David found a replacement from another unit, and came back to install it within 24 hours. He quoted the work accurately, spent time consulting on future care of our system, and gave us some tips to save money on care and maintenance. He was transparent, clear, honest, and helpful.
