Even though I did not go with Comfort Calvary, I can tell everyone the owners, Emily and Kevin are some of the most honest, forthright professionals I have come across. In this day and age with declining customer service and fewer family owned, local businesses, we really need to support and endorse people like them. I would definitely recommend them to friends and co-workers and wish them all the best. Thanks guys!

Exceptional service and care. We had duct cleaning, new furnace and A/C unit installed. On time and professional (they even took into consideration the furnace drip pvc pipe so it didn't run in my way since my washing machine is in the same area). They email and text/call to keep you informed of your upcoming appointments and when someone is on their way. They also provide a photo so you know who to expect. As a military family we also appreciate that this is a Veteran business that gives back.

Comfort Cavalry is a company of true professionals, from scheduling the appointments to the actual service. They were all very courteous, clean, and did an outstanding job explaining in details what they did. Besides cleaning the ducts and vents and servicing the HVAC system in our home, they installed a humidifier and air purifier system, which was very fast. The Comfort Cavalry is the go to for anything my family needs when it comes to our home's heating and air conditioning!

I cannot say enough great things about this company. I spent three days trying to find someone to come out. One major let's just say Didn't Get The Job Done was down right rude, cancelled my appointment and hung up on me after two days dealing with them.
Calling Comfort Calvary was the best move I made. They listened to my problem over the phone we're very upfront about whether they could work on it or not. They sent out their tech Joe the next day who was very presentable very nice man, he was very honest with me told me that depending on why it doesn't have freon in it may not be fixable. He
