“AC quit working during the recent heat wave. I called Ben’s and told them the situation and they had someone there within an hour. Jason was very professional and diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in a short time. He verified the proper cold air was blowing and provided recommendations to help cool the house down. Very happy with the responsiveness and the service. Highly recommended!”
“On one of the hottest days of the year, our AC went out. I was able to contact Ben’s Heating and AC after hours and schedule an appointment for the next day. I received a personal phone call and a text to tell me when a technician would be arriving. “Joe” was friendly, efficient, and communicative. He quickly assessed the issue and had the parts on hand to fix it. The service from Ben’s was top notch!”
“Donovan G. Came promptly on time, was cheerful and knew exactly what was needed for installing a new thermostat. I have used Ben's several times. Furnace inspection, tuning, cleaning, and lubricating fan bearings
I'd say use Ben's if you like good service and good people”
“Ben’s Heating – AV -Electrical has always been a ‘go to’ company for heat/AC issues.
Our AC went out over the weekend & they got it fixed fast. Thank you very much, it
wasn’t much fun to be without AC when we had record 90’s for May.”
“Anthony is awesome! He was super friendly and attentive to the finishing touches of the job at hand. I needed my A/C unit moved from my back patio to the side of the house and he did a fantastic job of making that happen, all whilst my puppy got underfoot. He did a great job and left the place without a mess too. Thanks again, Anthony!”
“Chris is a badass. Need I say more? Everything you'd want from a person doing work inside your home — efficiency, friendliness, honesty, great workmanship and good communication about everything going on. I needed my A/C unit moved from my patio to the side of the house. This was all done as expected and I am very pleased with the results. You rock, Chris!”
