“Walter and his team are professional and honest. Services are reasonably priced, too. They installed my central heat/air when I first moved into my home. They did a great job and answered all my questions. I had a breakdown due to a wire shortage (manufacturer defect, not from install) during this cold snap. Walter called back and got over to find the problem and fix it the same day. My family is sleeping warm on this 20 degree night thanks to Mr. Smith! Smiths Heating and Air is the only company I want to use or that I would recommend for central heat and air related services.”

“Mr. Smith provided excellent customer service. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and resolved everything immediately. Highly recommended!!!”

“I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this company for years! We had a heating issue, and Mr. Smith immediately got us scheduled even though it was right before there closing hours, which was a huge relief. Mr. Smith was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and honest—he assessed the entire job without charging us a penny for the estimate. Having dealt with many others in the past I can honestly say it’s rare to find a company this trustworthy and quick these days. I’ll definitely be using them for all our future service needs. Thank you Mr. Smith :)”

“Walter Smith and his team are responsive, kind, skillful, professional, and affordable! Walter comes out to assess a problem, free of charge, and then offers appropriate solutions. They have helped us by prolonging the life of aging AC/heating equipment, making safety adjustments where needed, and installing a new system when that made the most sense. All of their work is high quality at an affordable price. We cannot recommend them too highly!”

“Smith Heating and Air has been our "go to" company for at least 30 years. They are reliable, competent, friendly, and responsible. We would highly recommend them. Two months ago they replaced three HVACs for us at a new home. They discovered a potentially lethal existing situation with a water heater vent. They repaired it! We trust and rely on them.”
