The company was extremely responsive and sent someone out the same day I called. When my AC unit was not able to be fixed, they scheduled an appointment right then to have someone come out to give an estimate on a new unit right away. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and very helpful. I will be using them in the future for all my HVAC needs.

We were referred to Shavitz by a neighbor and are so glad to have found them! I called Shavitz wanting a second opinion on HVAC repairs that another company recommended. The service, insights, and explanations we received from Henry on the Shavitz team far exceeded what we received from the other provider. We left our service agreement with a plan for recommended repairs, replacements, and ongoing service. The team was easy to communicate with before and after the appointment. Highly recommend!

Dillon was fantastic! He called ahead and came at the beginning of my 12-4 window (which I really appreciated)! He was polite and wore a mask and shoe covers the entire time in my home. My baby needed to take a nap while he was here and he was very quiet moving around the house and up and down my stairs. Gave me a report at the end and was very courteous! I have been using Shavitz for a few years now and they are always the best! Thanks Dillon and thanks Shavitz!

Everyone was kind and professional, answered all our questions and treated our home with care and respect. We've done a lot of work on our house and this was by far the overall best experience we've had to date. Our house has radiator heat so installing AC was an enormous undertaking that required a lot of creative solutions. The Shavitz crew went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we needed in the highest quality. Definitely recommend!

We have been with Shavitz Heatng and Air Conditioning for over 15 years. Our service technician Mitch Pollack was EXCELLENT. He called to confirm he was on his way. he was on time, he was very polite, and professional. He checked our AC system. I went to talk to him outside as he was finishing. He was actually washing, wiping down down, and reassembling the AC unit. This was the first time Mitch had serviced our home and I was very impressed with him. Thank You Shavitz.
