They fixed my furnace the same day (in two separate visits), but the tech wasn't friendly and clearly wanted to replace rather than repair. When he was here and performing the repair, I listened intently and heard that the furnace was running very quietly/smoothly. As soon as he left, the furnace began rattling and is making me feel nervous that the repair won't last. I won't be able to use them again.

Richards is the absolute best!! From the first phone call to the completion of the job they were professional and caring!! After a horrible experience with another heating and air conditioning company who didn't show up not only once but twice the prior week Richards proved to be the opposite end of the spectrum! They called to let me know the techs were on their way. While they could've installed a universal igniter it was not the exact one the furnace needed so they located one in minutes went and got it and installed it! That is true customer service and caring! I cannot recommend

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Richard's. I worked with John Smith, one of the owners, to get an estimate for my new water heater. He took a personal interest in helping us find a perfectly sized water heater for our small space. And he researched to figure out how to get us an extended warranty. He did not charge to come and check out our strangely configured space, as many others wanted to do. The guys showed up exactly on time and installation was a breeze. John actually came out mid-day to see how it was going. The guys did a great job and cleaned up before taking off at the

We are very, very happy Richard air-conditioning customers for 10+ years. And we continue to be impressed by their service. We recently had an issue that required a lot of attention to detail and patience, and we were so happy that Richards stuck with us to find the problem and solve it. Their techs are top-notch (thank you Herbert and Sharp!), and thank you to Richard himself for his personal involvement and interest in getting it solved.

I can't believe Richards' wanted $125 'diagnostic fee' just to show up. I asked if is a minimum fee in in case I didn't want the work done or if it was something super cheap like a loose wire. Nope, the $125 is on top of everything else like labor and parts. I called one of the top rated companies on yelp... no such charge. I called Richard's back and cancelled my appointment. At least they let me know about the fee ahead of time.

Richard's has been servicing my residence and rental home for 10years and I had to end it today. I called for an appointment at my rental home and was advised that they have a $125 fee just to show up. I was so befuddled. I asked if that amount was applied to the labor and material for any work done and was told "no." I'm very disappointed especially since I just had them to my home just a month ago and was charged no fee. What a shame such a good company has to make such a poor decision.

After contacting Carrier directly this company came highly recommended.
Not only the technicians were rude and unprofessional but when you try to reach the owner to provide some feedback he will hang up on you. I'm adding some photos so you can see how dirty they left my basement, wires, clippings, piece of plastic...and they charged me $400 for the work.
When they tested the thermostat they hardwired it to the outdoor unit and it got damaged, the tech wrote it on the ticked but the owner wants to charge me labor and get the thermostat under warranty from Carrier. Let me repeat this, they

I have very mixed feelings about my interaction with Richard's Heating and Air Conditioning. On the positive side, when our furnace went out on the weekend before Christmas, they were the quickest to respond. The tech arrived and got things running again. We were and are suitably grateful.
However, two more visits in the following week left us with considerably less satisfaction. The furnace continued to function intermittently and additional visits did not seem any more successful at identifying the problem or suggesting what we might do. The techs seemed to take a 'best guess
