Bowman's Heating & AC

We called for a service person to clear a bathroom sink drain and repair a leaky faucet in the sink. The service person did the drain and then said he would not do the faucet because it wasn't leaking at that particular time - although I said it would likely start again, so he should simply finish the job. He declined - and the faucet started leaking almost immediately after he left.

Their solution is to schedule a second visit and charge a total of over approximately $600 (including the second visit), plus my price to purchase of a new faucet. The cost and approach seem extreme and basically unresponsive. I would recommend shopping around - which in all fairness, is what they told me to do when I called and said the $600+ price tag for a small drain jog and faucet repair/replacement seemed very high.

Full HVAC replacement. Out of 10 local companies called around 6pm on a Wednesday, the only one to come out. Install was fast, efficient and the owner personally reaching out to answer questions was a great touch. Highly recommend!

I hired Bowman's to install a smart dimmer switch. The electrician, Antonio, was able to be at my home within an hour of my calling. He knew immediately how to proceed and he had the switch correctly installed within a few minutes. I'll call Bowman's again for future electrical needs.

Bowman's ( Mike and team) installed a new rooftop AC unit for my condo. First, Mike did a great job with a survey and estimate. He inspected the system, offered several choices of unit manufacturers, and sized the unit for my needs. He then coordinated a crane to manage the new unit's hoisting and removal of the 20 year old unit. Finally, his team did a great job connecting the unit to my thermostat and heating unit. Mike and his team were punctual, professional, and tidy. I definitely recommend Bowman's for your heating and AC needs.

My main level AC unit was on his last legs for a few years now. After speaking to several companies who promised me they had best price for the value, I would just become frustrated. They would jack up prices with un-necessary add ons. One company wanted to cut holes in my drywall. Bowman's plumbing was referred to me by a friend and I couldn't have been happier with their service.

Their pricing was right inline with what i wanted and they did not try to upsell me with trumped up charges. Bowman explained to us what they were going to do, follow through with every step he said they was going to do, and when they were done- they explained to us how to operate the unit. The company follow up the next day and again in a few weeks after the installation. I recommend Bowman's plumbing and AC for anyone that wants a honest- no pressure- no up-sell company. They are the best!

We have used Bowmans services for more than 20 years. They replaced our heat pump system and hot water heater that they installed Back in 2000. Always professional friendly and thorough and honest. The team that worked the jobs were awesome and made sure everything was perfect before they left. I highly recommend Bowmans for all HVAC and plumbing needs.

Bowman's Plumbing, Heating, AC and Electrical, Inc. was recommended by a friend. They were responsive and came out the same day to look at the heat pump. Bowman's worked with my schedule, and replaced everything the same week. Friendly, professional, and they cleaned up everything behind them. Services: Heating system installation, Install thermostat, Install AC

We had our HVAC go out during a heat wave (isn't that always the case), and we needed quick service, but also a solution for the long term. Mike and his team came out the next day and provided a thorough, personalized solution without trying to upswell us on anything we didn't need. I definitely recommend Bowman's to anyone in northern Virginia who needs HVAC services!

We've been using Bowman's for the last 16 years for fall and spring maintenance on our HVAC systems. We were in need to upgrade our current systems, and Eric was terrific to work with. He was informative, patient with our research and provided recommendations when needed. Bowman's sent 3 installation crews (upstairs, downstairs and outside) to knock out a half days of work and got the house cool in time for night time.

They were extremely courteous and efficient. The new systems have been up and running for over 2 weeks, and are running quietly. Looking forward to the reduced power bills going forward.

I'm very happy with Bowman's work installing our new furnace and AC coil. Now I see why he was recommended so highly by my neighbors! From the first meeting, Mike took his time to look over my project carefully and answer all of my questions. And on the day of installation he made sure his team finished everything professionally, caulked, taped, insulated, tested and cleaned up. What a refreshing experience!

Very quick response time. New AC was installed in less than 4 hours. Also replaced my water heater gas valve in less than 30 minutes. I spent more time on hold with OEM trying to order parts than it took for Bowman to replace them. Professional and knowledgeable team. My house is now cool and my water is hot Services: Water heater repair, Install AC

Twice yearly service contract is expensive. Both visits the technician stayed for 20 minutes or less with two units. I think he changed the filters and that's it. I've had other companies provide service which lasted about 45 minutes. Makes you wonder.

One of our sinks began leaking and flowing under the bathroom sink on a Saturday afternoon. I was unable to get it to stop and the main shut off valve would not close the line all the way. I called the after hours answering service and was called back within 15 minutes. The dispatcher was friendly, informative and gave the information I needed to make a decision to the problem.

We determined that service could wait until the next day. On Sunday, Jackie the service person arrived on time and fix the sink right a way. He returned on Monday morning, again when he said he would, and replaced the main shut off valve. I have used Bowman's service three times (HVAC, hot water heater & sink leaking), I have found they are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and stand by their work. I recommend them for installations, repair & service!

I have used Bowman's several times and have experienced nothing but honesty and fair pricing. Currently I am deployed and my water heater in my house went out. My girlfriend called Summers heating and cooling out and they quoted her for 5500! I knew this was too high and called Bowman's up they went out the next day and got the water heater fixed to limp it until we replaced bit a week later. Summers had no problem leaving my family without hot water and charging crazy prices. Bowman's was way lower because they weren't taking advantage of the situation. Appreciate the work. Good job

I have never had a bad experience, Jeff is my tech who come's out twice a year to check my HVAC system (per the contract I purchase every year) we have had one full furnace & 2 AC units replaced with them. This year we had our hot water heater replaced and tomorrow will have 2 toilets replaced. I can't speak highly enough about all of there employees, they are all professional and have never felt pressured to purchase the most expensive item. They do an a Awesome job, with full transparency.

A friend referred them to me in 2004, when I needed a new unit. Their price was great, the service was great. And, I've been using them ever since - except for the time my son pulled in a different plumber, because I was sick. My Plumber cost 2 times as much (after the guy "cut you a break" out of his commission).

Bowman's ensures my two systems are working optimally. Their knowledge and experience is first rate. My home has balanced and well distributed airflow and is much more comfortable than what the builder provided. They stand behind their work and honor manufacture's warranty. Thanks again! Jim G.

Recently my furnace stopped working. Eric was the on call technician. He correctly diagnosised the failure and followed through with the repair. He was sensitive to our schedule and keep me informed throughout the process. Thank you Eric!

We just had our entire HVAC system (furnace, AC Unit, and Evaporator coil) replaced by Bowmans. From initial contact to the very end, I had a wonderful experience. Mike answered all of my questions, provided his professional opinion and experience of available additions that could benefit our home. On his recommendation, we added an air scrubber to improve the air quality in our 1972 home and also had all of our vents cleaned. Dan and Aaron arrived in the promised time window and worked thoroughly throughout the entire day.

I had asked for isolators to be installed under my furnace due to tile flooring being installed in the near future which Dan happily accommodated my request. All 3 men were beyond helpful, courteous and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bowmans.

These guys are pros, hands down. Garrett & David installed a Aprilaire steam humidifier after they cleaned all the vent work in the house. They're work was super clean, they were respectful, and best of all they were efficient with my time. I would highly recommend Bowman's to any of my friends or family.

This company is top notch and is like a one-stop-shop! His electrician was very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The tech explained everything to me and gave me all my options first. After that, he fixed everything I had on my list, in a really timely fashion. While that was being done the other technician showed up to clean and service my AC unit.

He was also super nice and fast! I was able to go back to work by lunch time. I'm moving away from the area and I wish I could take this company with me down to my new house.

Bowman's replaced my HVAC system and water heater. It was a big job since we were replacing a large water heater with a tank less system, and replacing a single-zone gas HVAC system with a state-of-the-art, two-zone HVAC system, and because I asked for some plumbing and ductwork enhancements. PRICE. Bowman's price was in the middle 3 quotes.

I chose them because the sales process was very informative, honest, and no pressure, and because I felt they had the most experience to do the job right. FREE STUFF. My AC was down, and each company needed 7 days to install the new system. Oh the heat! But, Bowman's loaned me $1k in parts to keep my old AC running until the installation day, and they did not charge me a dime for the parts or labor.

That impressed me. TEAMS of EXPERTS. Two contractors said that this was a 2 or 3 person installation. But Bowman said they needed 3 teams: a ductwork team, a plumbing team, and an HVAC system team. Eight guys in all. They worked their butts off. They were very kind to me, and they treated each other like brothers. Obviously someone up top knows how to pick good workers. EXCELLENT SUPPORT. Bowman's support's their stuff.

I have called them back 3 times for problems. Once to insulate an electronic damper to silence a noise - no charge. Once to determine why there was water on the floor (My basement drain was clogged and this was not their fault) - no charge. Once to remind me how to use the new two-zone system - No charge. In summary, Bowman's did an outstanding job, and I would especially like to thank Westin for his honesty, congeniality and fanatic support.

Classic nightmare plumbing contractor experience. Unexpected because we'd used them a couple of years ago for quite a bit of plumbing work & had great experiences. Last fall, when we decided to remodel our bathrooms, we counted on our past experiences with them more than the current negative Angie's List & Yelp plumbing reviews. That was a big mistake.

Day 1 - 2 plumbers arrive 2 hours late but worked steadily on the first bathroom to install the tub, piping, & durock walls. Several issues but the primary - the piping didn't line up with one another by inches & the tub leaked! They couldn't make repairs immediately due to other scheduled jobs - Huh? They had a 50% deposit for both bathrooms, so we wanted to be patient.

After a couple of weeks, one plumber, 2 hours late. He stripped out the durock, the tub & the piping to start again - leaving the house a couple of times. After 3-4 hours, he told us he couldn't stay to finish & bailed in a huff when my husband went up to find out why. The work he had 'done' was horrible. Then the true nightmare began - trying to get our money back.

Despite pictures and our request for management to come & review the work done (they refused) Dana & her brothers (voices in the background) felt the work to date was quality work & only a nominal refund was due from the 2 bathroom deposit we'd placed with them. The Bowmans acknowledged that there was no piping in place, no installed tub, no walls, no tile work, no work begun on the 2nd bathroom & no other plumbers on staff.

Just 1 plumber (who started mid 2013) & 1 plumber's assistant. These guys were in over their head with this job. Finally, Dana offers to call in a sub-contractor to handle our 2 bathroom contract with Bowman's - we'd 'begin fresh'. Again, we're trying to be reasonable - we agree. He comes out - on time. He's horrified by the evidence left by the Bowman's plumbers & talks to us about what's needed.

We gave him a copy of the Bowman quote for the 2 bathrooms - feel pretty positive about him (& start our research on his company). Two days later & unexpectedly, we receive a full refund check and a note to work directly with the sub-contractor. He in turn advises us the one bathroom will cost 50% "maybe more" than the Bowman's contract & he doesn't really like written quotes.

Used them for about ten years and was always extremely satisfied with their service. Always available and quickly resolved any problem I had. Never tried to sell me services or equipment that I didn't need.

I work for competing HVAC company. I do not know how good they are at HVAC. I have to say Bowman's had their trucks out plowing snow and they took great care of the roads. Their team was fantastic. I have lived on West Redwood Rd in Sterling 14 years and I have never seen anyone plow our street so well. I really appreciate what wonderful job they did.

If I could give zero stars I would. The after-hours technician was rude, disrespectful and condescending. Unfortunately I did not get his name. At 10:15 pm on the night before the recent snowstorm (1-5-15), my furnace broke down. As a single woman with an elderly tenant, I was concerned about the freezing temps and getting through the cold night. I called Bowman's and spoke to the after- hours technician.

He asked me what my furnace was doing and I explained that the motor was working, but there was no ignition and no heat. He told me what the charges would be if he came out that night vs the next morning and asked me what I wanted to do. In an effort to make an informed decision, I started to tell him what the diagnostic flashing light on the furnace was saying and ask about the availability of parts if he came out that night, but he immediately cut me off.

He very rudely informed me that he just needed to know if I wanted him to come out that night or not. He said he had to get up at 5:30 a.m. and he wasn't going to have a discussion or conversation with me. He said, "This isn't a social call. Just tell me if you want me to come out there tonight or in the morning." I politely informed him that I would be calling another company.

I felt very disrespected in an already stressful situation. I could understand if I was droning on and on, but the entire conversation lasted exactly 1.26 minutes. This is certainly not the kind of service that Mr. Bowman would expect of his employees. Is it?

These guys were great to work with. We had a heating and A/C system replaced last week. The guys who came out to install showed up on time and finished an hour early. They couldn't be nicer. I even had to reschedule this appointment once and they were very cool about it. Didn't give me a hard time. I highly recommend this business!

Bowman's did all the work to convert my home from oil to natural gas including removing my old furnace an installing a new carrier gas furnace and humidifier. They also installed my gas fireplace set and gas range and later I will have them install a gas water heater. Honestly, it was a pleasure to deal with this company. My wife and I looked at many of the companies that Washington Gas lists and these guys were the most helpful. Dean Stine, the sales manager, took his time with us and explained the process for converting to natural gas.

He was always responsive to my phone calls and I always had the feeling that they would do a good job. THEY DID A GREAT JOB! The price was very competitive and Dan and his crew were dependable, skilled, friendly and efficient and took time to answer my many questions. They were careful to put down drop cloths and kept our house clean. The staff was considerate and friendly. Do yourself a favor and call these guys. You will not be sorry. John, In Oakton

The replaced a refrigerator line on our fridge in April 2013 with copper for $435. The connection the plumber made from the copper line to the fridge line failed 10 months later. The plumber told me to have an appliance repair person fix it because he couldn't. The water leak from the fridge resulted in $635 in damage to our carpets. $1,000 to fix this problem and now I have to call an appliance technician.

He should have advised that in the first place. The manager, Dana Bowman said it was outside the 30 day warranty, so tough luck. If you expect your work from your plumber to last more than 30 days, call another plumber.

They replaced our ac and did a good job but the heater stopped working. I noticed the heater only after a month they replaced our AC. when I call them for an appointment, they don't show up during the 4 hour window they gave and the lady at the front desk was very sarcastic and says she does not ride with the contractors so she doesn't have any update. something changed and the lady at the front desk is really bad and she should be not be in that line of work if she cannot handle couple of phone calls.
