Time for a pre-winter furnace check-up so naturally we called Joel Smith Heating & Air Conditioning. The service is always prompt and Curt is professional, courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be calling again in the Spring for an air conditioner check-up.

Quick response! We arrived home after a weekend away to our AC out and temps for the next several days in the 90's+. I called on Monday late afternoon and they were able to send someone out right away on Wednesday. Curt was punctual, professional, and quickly fixed the problem. He even made the time to perform an additional service and do a maintenance check on the furnace (I told him I'd like to have a check on it then rather than calling in January when it goes out at -30, which would be just our luck!). Great service and value. 5-star recommendation!

Wow, all the reviews we read about Joel and his team were spot on! We just moved to the area 3 weeks ago. On day 2 in the new house, our AC stopped working. The seller did purchase a home warranty, but after 2 days we STILL had not heard back from the place. We decided to just skip that nonsense and find someone who could replace both the AC and Furnace since they were original to the house (1998) and we expected to have to do it sooner rather than later anyway. We called a couple of different places as our need was now URGENT (2 days without AC in 90+ degree HUMID weather and we were still in

We called to have them come look at our AC. It has been hot and our AC just hasn't been able to keep up. They were able to send someone out quick to look at it. Turns out it just needed a good cleaning of the coils. Also good that we didn't do it ourselves because our coils are unique and taking a hose to them ourselves could have damaged them. The technician also took time to talk to us about future replacement of our system (it is 21 years old). Our AC is working better now even with some still hotter Temps. We will use them again for future needs.

I reached out in the morning after AC has been struggling to keep up with the heat, not cooling the house down at all overnight. Dustin was out a few hours later to diagnose and repair the problem. I contacted them based on a neighborhood referral, and will definitely call again!
