Have used Sears heating and cooling for years and have purchased multiple units from them. Always super professional, responsive and trustworthy. I have even had tenants call me to compliment them. Josh usually does most not our maintenance and is super knowledgeable and helpful. Service: Heating system maintenance

Ramon was excellent in servicing the heating unit. He checked out everything thoroughly and after I obtained some data from Columbia Gas, helped me interpret what my recent bills meant. And we discussed some alternatives and possible reasons why my usage has gone up. We have used your company for many many years and we have always been very satisfied with the service. Thank you very much.

They were so quick to get someone out to my house and restore heat. I like that he was very straightforward about what was being fixed and why. I liked getting to discuss the cost and options for additional services. Robby answered all of my many "what if" scenario questions so we could determine the best option for my home. It was very professional and excellent service.

Excellent service as always. Wally called to let me know he was on the way. He arrived in a timely manner, considering the road conditions. As always, Wally was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and competent. I have done business with Sears H/C and Wally for many years, and have always received the best service, emergency or maintenance. I will continue to use them and highly recommend them to everyone.

Our furnace gave out yesterday and we called Sears heating and cooling because we use them for heating and cooling maintenance and we trust them. They got us set up right away. Trey was at the house this morning at 9:30am to replace our furnace. We were really impressed with the fast service. He was very professional and answered all our questions. He was very courteous and personable. We will continue to use this company for any heating and cooling issues we might have in the future. We strongly recommend them.
