Matt was very good. He had to replace a part. The service department found a part that saved me some money. I would definitely recommend this company. Everyone I dealt was very pleasant.

Howells has been maintaining our HVAC for at least 5 years, and in 2020, replaced our very old system. They represented their products honestly, helped us to make a very good choice, provided a fair price, and they continue to provide maintenance service. We are very pleased with our system. The service staff today was on-time, pleasant, and thorough. We find Howells to be very reliable.

These guys are incredible! I had rental tenants that needed heat fixed and then my personal heat went out 2 days later! They were there within 2 hours and were done quick! I actually learned a few things! I know this sounds like a commercial, but I would recommend to anyone!
