They were professional and friendly. Worked hard the whole time they were here. The only issue I have is some of the vents still had debris in them showing after they left. This couldn't be helped so they came back on another day and not only did they do phnemonial job they went above and beyond what they did before. They also took time to explain different aspects of the job and gave us knowledge to have for later. They relieved a lot of stress and worry. I would recommend they to anyone and will be calling they again if we need something else. Thanks Guys. U all Rock!

For the past five years I have been dealing with this company and each time I have called them they have always been responsive and honest about my needs. I have found them To go beyond my expectations on warranty work and service. I have recommended them to my neighbors and family members for their air conditioning work.

Had the Chud team out to replace our 23 year old furnace and AC. Chose Trane high efficiency furnace and 18 SEER AC. A lot of modification/work was necessary as our house is a split level and the furnace closet is an extremely small space. Could not be happier with the outcome! Services: Install AC, Heating system installation

Made a call for a repair in the morning and had a tech out by lunch (before his scheduled time)! Walked me through what wasn't working and told me what he needed to do for the repair before starting any work. Babe me a pretty accurate price estimate before starting as well. When done, reviewed everything with me and gave me some suggestions moving forward with my system. Super easy, really fast, back up and running. Very pleased but I always am with Chud!

Everyone that has come to our house has been great. They are very personable and very attentive. Vinny and Frank are the two people we deal with the most and they are both knowledgeable, answer every question we ask, and quickly fix any issues that we have. Just wanted to give a shout out and thanks for being a good business! Good businesses are very far and few these days.

We were having some issues with our heating system. Called Chud and the reception lady was very kind and managed to send a technician on the same day. Frank the technician was very professional and thorough. He really took his time cleaning and testing the system and our heater is back to working nicely again. Thank you for such a quick turnaround. Highly recommended.

We just purchased our first home and had heating issues. We called the number that was on our heater and they were able to get someone out the next day and were able to get out earlier than expected. Paul addressed our issue and everything is working great now. We will definitely be using Chud for all our hvac maintenance and issues in the future. Very happy with the service, value and friendly customer service from the phone call with the receptionist to the service guy.

The technicians that came to the house three times were professional and did good quality work. Had some difficulty scheduling appointments and had to negotiate twice to reschedule services that the office said was not in their schedule or when they said their was not a tech available to do the service.

Our air conditioning was cycling in and out, and we had a family member who was in the house recovering from surgery. I called after hours and did not put in emergency request because it was sort of working. They called me first thing in the morning, they gave me a time frame and were an hour earlier than they said they would be. I got a txt right before with a picture of Vinny who would be doing the work. He quickly found the issue, had the parts on the truck, and it was fixed quickly and I paid right in my home be credit card. Not sure it could have been any better.

My heater is 18 years old and just recently started to exhibit some problems. I contacted Chud Air and was very pleased with their quick and professional response. Since there were several problems in a short period of time I had to call them several times. Frank, their service technician provided great service every time

I woke up this Saturday morning to discover our furnace stopped working at some point through the night. The outside air was 20 degrees and inside it was 55 degrees! Brrrrr! I looked for a local HVAC with the best rating on Yelp and found this company. I'm so happy I called! Paul, the on-call service man, gave me an approximate arrival time for this afternoon and then called me again later to give me a more specific time.
After examining our furnace, diagnosing the problem (faulty igniter switch), he answered all my questions with patience and kindness. He quickly replaced the part, gave it a test run, and then we had HEAT! Paul explained that our system was very old (which we knew) and it would be wise to start getting estimates for a new system. Based on our experience today, we will be calling Chud soon to set up an appointment for a free estimate! Paul was professional, well spoken, kind, and tidy.
This was my first experience with this company and I look forward to working with this company again. Supporting local businesses is important to us and we are extremely grateful that Chud is part of our community! Thank you! A happy and warm new customer

Update: Frank, i think the lowly owner, tried to refute my review line by line (almost a year late like i wouldn't notice). These guys are rude and unprofessional. They claim i reached out them "only when i had a problem" and that the "complimentary tune up coupon" was sent by an employee no longer with the company (not the customers problem). I reached out for said tune ups, not a problem. Stay away, dirt bag company

I usually do not write reviews, but I had such a great experience today I had to commend the business and their service technician, Vinnie. We purchased a Lennox heat pump from Chud about about 3 years ago with a 10 year warranty. Anytime there is a repair issue with the unit, we get free service and free replacement parts if required. We needed service on our unit today and Vince was our guardian angel.
He arrived promptly with a cheerful and positive attitude. He spent time looking at the unit and was able to get it up and running. However instead of just leaving and checking it off his list, he felt that there was some underlying issue that might result in a recurrence of the problem, so he called Lennox up and explained what his concerns were and they walked him through the diagnostic steps and problem was solved.
I applaud Vinnie for being so knowledgeable and professional that he knew that the first fix would not be permanent and spent the time and effort to make sure that our system would perform well for the long run. Thank you again Vinnie for being so conscientious. Chud is lucky to have you on their team.

Good service and they were kind enough to answer all our questions and come on time for installation of the HVAC. Frank was great and Matt and John helped a lot during the installation. They made sure we were okay with all that was going to be taken out and the positioning of the new system. They clarified a lot of things that needed to be expressed and they did complete the work on time. The receptionist was excellent. We will continue the service for our tune ups etc. thank you

Wanted to give a local company a shot but This company is a complete rip off; and prices are extremely high! They quoted me over 1400$ for a new AO Smith water heater and I had another company install a Bradford white water heater for 900$. AO Smith is an inferior product as well! Also they tried to tell me my heater and central AC that is only 9 years old needed to be replaced and told me it would cost almost $7500 for Coleman equipment which I did some research on that equipment and it turns out it's total cheap crap.
I called the same company that did my water heater and they did a tune up for 125$ and told me there was nothing wrong with my heater and AC and that if it did need to be replaced it should be no more then $6000. This company is a complete rip off and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They try to take advantage of there customers. I would love to see this company close its doors for good so they can't rip anyone off for there hard earned money!

Beware! Service tech and salesman were very nice but they severely price gouge. Had a Rinnai tankless water heater go bad. They wanted $5500 to install a new Rinnai unit of the same specifications, basically a swap. Asked for a price breakdown of parts versus labor was told they don't do that for residential, only big commercial jobs. I can go to Lowe's and buy the unit for $1,200, that means they were charging me $4,300 for installation.
About 4 hours worth of work. I called Rinnai and they referred me to one of their preferred trained installation plumbers in my area and he wanted $700 to install the unit, so for $1,800 I had a new tankless water heater. A far cry from the $5,500 Chud wanted.

CHUD Air Conditioning & Heating has been providing my family excellent service for well over 12 years. Their technicians have experience and years of know-how that far exceed that of the overly commercialized Horizon and the rest of the wannabes. They've been in business just shy of 50 years! When my old inefficient heat pump unit needed to be replaced, they did a tremendous job not only with installation but also recommending a make and model which cut my mid-winter / mid-summer electric bills in half.
Yes - in half! My wife and I were blown away. They've also installed an electric water heater. They're master plumbers as well. I'm fairly picky and scrutinize any work performed on my home. CHUD hasn't disappointed me once. Excellent company!

I called Chud to have them come out to check my central air system and an attic fan before the hot weather arrived for the season. My appointment was scheduled between 9-11, the office called around 9 to say the technician would be at my home around 11. The tech called some time around 11 to say he was on his way, he showed up 40 minutes later, strike #1.
When I asked if he would be able to check out the attic fan, he proceeded to tell me that although Chud had originally installed the fan, they no longer do that type of work and he was not prepared to go in the attic, strike #2. He began inspecting the unit both inside and out, my husband came in and the tech was telling him how the unit was on the verge of breaking down due to low pressure readings and because the unit was so old, the only option would be to replace it, my husband then explained that we have a home warranty and will have them look at it when it did break down.
But we asked to have a quote nonetheless. The tech agreed and said he needed to call the office for pricing. After another 15 minutes, he still was on the phone and I asked for him to hurry because I needed to go to work. He said the office would have to call us with the quote which to date we never got. I paid $140.00 and he left. I just had another company come out and the tech cleaned my unit and all pressure readings went to normal range.
He stated the unit is in good condition and a replacement isn't necessary. The tech from Chud never offered an option like cleaning the unit and only tried to get us to spend thousands on a new system. I feel I've been robbed of my hard earned money and lied to, strike #3. I will never use Chud again or recommend them.

I was desperate on a holiday weekend, my AC broke and my house was a sauna, unlivable. They came the next morning after only one phone call and diagnosed and fixed the problem in 1 visit within 1 hour. The prices were reasonable especially for a Sunday morning of a holiday weekend. It's family owned and operated and I felt the non-corporate type of special care. of note- prior to calling CHUD i called a different company that rhymes with "Verizon" and after waiting 15 minutes on hold they couldn't send anyone over for 2 weeks, my house would have melted by then, no thanks! Thank you CHUD!

So Chud fixed my problem. And they charged me DOUBLE to do it. : Apparently existing customers pay $140 for the exact same service that I was charged $300 to complete. I actually had been looking to sign up for an annual maintenance plan. Won't be this with this company! Well done, Chud! Surprising and delighting customers wherever you go!

I've had Chud service twice now. Once to clean my air ducts, and once to replace a capacitor in my outside compressor. After the duct cleaning, we still noticed several dirty areas in our ducts. Also, the technician had placed a taped up air filter the wrong way in our furnace (presumably to increase velocity while he was trying to clean the ducts).
Problem is, he left it that way after he finished and it sat like that for a couple of weeks before I went to check it myself. So all that dust he stirred up in the system and didn't clean out got blown all over the house. Great. On the second occasion, my AC stopped working abruptly during a hot period. Chud was fast and got there the next morning. Awesome.
The guy had the machine fixed in 2 minutes; the run capacitor was bad. Total bill was $261, 85 for the service call and 176 for the part. A quick google search revealed the part is about 8 dollars anywhere on the web. I called a couple other companies and they said they generally do that repair for about 100 dollars. Oh, and the air filter was taken out of the furnace and placed diagonally back in and left that way again. Seriously?
I don't begrudge them making some money on parts as well as service, but a 2200% markup seems to be pretty awful. When I called to get some satisfaction on that, they simply said "well, we charge national flat rate and that's your cost." I asked her if she knows that the part can be had for less than 10 dollars anywhere on the web, she said nope that's just what we charge. I won't be using their services ever again.

CHUD has been servicing our furnace for a few years now. Because the brand of furnace is not good, it has had a variety of problems. I called Chud after another repair service clearly saw an opportunity with my situation and tried to pressure me into ripping the whole thing out - heating and AC - and start over. It was so bad. I called Chud instead and they quickly found a solution that was many times less expensive.
They are also honest. I had them back recently to listen to the furnace after a repair they did. It didn't sound right - which didn't give me much to stand on. They were honest enough to come over, target an issue and do the repair for free.
