Barber Heating And Air Conditioning

Barber Heating And Air Conditioning works out of Fort Worth, TX as a full service HVAC outfit. They have handled heating and cooling work for local homeowners since 1988 and keep crews ready every day of the week. The company takes on furnace repairs, air conditioning fixes, ductless mini-split installs, and refrigeration jobs including walk-in coolers. Fort Worth weather swings hard between long hot stretches and sudden cold fronts, so systems here need steady upkeep to avoid breakdowns that leave houses uncomfortable. Their crews show up prepared for both routine maintenance and same-day emergency calls when units quit without warning.

Technicians handle a wide range of jobs that come up in the area. One customer needed mini-splits added to a basement after the original system went in during new construction and the install crew finished the work quickly and cleanly. Another homeowner lost cooling late on a Friday and had Gavin arrive within the hour to diagnose the issue, explain the fix in plain terms, and get the house comfortable again while treating the property with respect. A sun room unit that stopped cooling was brought back online by a team that included Eric, Jahn, Jeff, and Chad, who answered every question and left the space usable right away. They also manage commercial cooler installs and maintenance when those calls come in.

Homeowners keep coming back because the crew moves fast on service requests and explains every step without jargon or delays. Reviewers note the polite and professional approach from techs who respect the house during repairs and follow through until the system runs right again. Speed stands out most with calls answered and technicians on site the same day even on weekends. Quality of the work and clear communication round out the feedback that builds their record.

“Barber installed the original HVAC system in our new home. When it was time to add a few mini-splits to the basement, we called them and they were ready to install within a few days! The installers did an outstanding job!”

“My AC went out on a Friday afternoon at about 5:30 PM. I immediately contacted Barber Heating & Air. Within an hour, a technician by the name of Gavin was at my home. He was very polite, professional and he respected my home. After identifying the problem, he gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done, and the cost to repair. I would definitely recommend Barber Heating & Air to others. They are very reliable and the prices are great.”

“Edit: The owner contacted us, sent a senior technician to inspect the unit, and confirmed it's in working order. We'll continue maintenance and hope for no further issues. I plan to update the review positively if all goes well. We did not have a pleasant experience. We had our house built and Barber installed our upstairs and downstairs units for the built. They installed in 2023. We have lived in this house for less than 3 years. They have been out to service the units at least 9 times for problems. The last time was upsetting. I was in tears because I thought our house was going to burn down. First I want to say the last technician we had was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The call center is the same. Friendly and they seem to really care about your concerns. But this last issue scared us and they wanted to charge us for quality checking the work they did. This first issue was a flashing light, but unit would not work. The drain was clogged and the tech cleared it and we updated our float switches for both units. We decided that we needed to be on a maintenance plan because they had to keep coming out for issues and we wanted to extend the life of our units. The tech went ahead and serviced the upstairs unit so the maintenance plan will be at the same time for both units. I'm glad he did, because he found that the contactor for the heat strips was sparking and had burned the contactor. It was melted and he said it could be because the screw was loose and arcing it. He advised to replace it, so we agreed. All in all $1200. So within a few days after that fix, the fire alarm goes off. The one that is less than a foot from the the attic space where the contactor on the unit was replaced. We called because we were sure that it was related. They said they would charge us to come out and look to quality control and make sure the contactor isn't catching fire again. If it was their fault they would not charge us, but if it wasn't their problem they would. We said maybe it was just a coincidence, maybe dusted stirred up, and so we told them not to come out. We replaced all the batteries in our fire and carbon monoxide alarms, hoping that was the issue. All seemed fine until that evening it started going off again, so we called them, and it's after hours so of course it's going to be more expensive. The call center said that they will forward this over to dispatch and they will call us. A while later I called the call center again because we haven't heard anything, and I explained that turning the AC unit on (dropping it 2 degrees to trigger it to start for cooling) the fire alarm went off. Clearly this was the unit right? They still said it would be a charge and that they do not do good faith service, and service industries do not do that. We just paid $1200 less than a week ago for the last issues. All we asked was them to have a senior member come by and look at it because clearly there was something going on with the unit they installed. I understand they have to pay their techs for time, all my family works various service jobs, I get it. But I have never had a service industry say we will charge you to check up on the work we repaired a few days ago that is still causing issues. We are not talking months after the repair...we are talking days, but they still wanted to charge us. How many of their techs went to that attic unit in the two years we have lived in this home to see that the contactor was melted and screws were loose? They installed the units, so why are we paying for them to constantly put band-aids on the units that are clearly faulty and were not quality controlled when installed. In my experience and opinion, I would not recommend them this time. The last home we had with their units were fine, these units they installed in our current home has us very concerned. I wish they would replace these units and take pride in their quality control.”

“Great job Barber! All staff and technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. Unit immediately cooling my sun room. Excellent job! Eric, Jahn, Jeff, electricians, Chad and students all were great to answer all my questions. MJW”

“Great service!! My heater stopped working the night before. I called and within the hour someone was at my house. Had to pay the after hours fee but definitely worth it because my heater was fixed that night and my family didn't freeze. It was going to be 10 degees that night. Definitely recommend. Super happy with the service”
