Our family has been in the HVAC trades for 5 generations going back a century. Our business, Christensen & Wisnet, started after World War II when Earl Christensen came back from service, and started working for his uncle at Schank & Christensen. When his uncle decided to close up shop instead of selling the business, Earl decided to go into business with Joe Wisnet (senior).
Our shop opened up in 1966 on Outagamie Street in Appleton, WI. We delivered fuel oil to the valley as well as full service to their heating and cooling systems. Joe Wisnet (son) took over the business from his father upon his unexpected passing, and with time John Christensen purchased his side from his father in the 80's.

Had an absolutely amazing experience today with this company. Had an emergency with my furnace (it’s the weekend!) and Evan was so quick to come over and get everything fixed up. I was expecting to have to wait awhile, so I was pleasantly surprised! He was so kind, helpful, polite, and sweet. They went above and beyond to help me out. It is a wonderful business and I am happy to tell friends and family to use them for heating/cooling needs. Thanks, Good Guys!

When my furnace went out, they had a rep at my house in a few hours and install scheduled for the very next day. During the quote process they guaranteed I would love the furnace or they would take it back for a full refund. Not sure how many other HVAC companies can make that kind of guarantee.

The worker was negative and abrupt the minute he walked through the front door. We reviewed the project details and I went into another room just to be out of his space.
The project that was reviewed and quoted could not be done as earlier projected. We discussed another option and all he did was drone on about the project. I tried to get a price so I could make an educated decision and stopped him twice as he lamented about other things. I just wanted a price. He gave me a very vague guesstimate. At that point, I knew I did not want this guy working in my house on my project.
Weird, awkward

Have used The Good Guys twice for annual maintenance. They been very prompt for both appointments. They are transparent about their pricing, layout all of your options, and provide benefits and draw backs of both. I have an older forced air system (~90s) but it has never been an issue for them. For non emergencies service you will need to schedule 3-4 weeks ahead of time. Their online scheduling is great!! Super easy to use and you know what you will be paying ahead of time. I plan to continue to use them for my HVAC needs.

Had a new furnace and central air put in our old house. Converted from Oil to gas and added central air. They were great! Took out all the old oil pipes and oil tank from our furnace!!! This was in 2017 so they just did a tune up on our furnace. Everything went great! Very professional and on time. Never felt pressured to get more than we wanted or needed.

When I first called, I spoke with Dan. Dan was very pleasant to talk to and very professional. Andy made the repairs on my duplex and did it in a short amount of time. He called me before he left the property and explained what the issue was and what he did to make the repairs. The total cost was lower than I had expected. Very pleased with this company. Thank you!!

This is my review I posted through a Google search. I edited it as I had a tech out today for my water heater.
Tammy Mossholder in the last week-Edit I thought I had a thermostat take a dump on me so, I called the wonderful people who installed my furnace/Central air at Christensen and Wisnet. I was told it would probably be after 10:30 but,… about 9:30, I got the call from the Eric the tech that he was on his way. Early? Bonus! Even though I just got out of bed from a long night if writing final research papers.
I showed Eric my thermostats, and then the furnace and he concluded too that
