Report
Admiral Heating & Cooling installed our A/C, heating, & ductwork in 2012. They did an amazing job with a system that was personally tailored to our home and needs. In 2022 our A/C developed a coil leak. The coil was still under manufacturers warranty. After a quick assessment of the problem, the professionals at Admiral Heating & Cooling arranged for the warranty part and when it was available they promptly came and made the repair. Service techs were very friendly and courteous, leaving absolutely no mess. Incredible work at an affordable price - great value. I highly recommend Admiral Heating & Cooling!

Report
We bought a house with two very old furnaces. The previous owner used Admiral. One of the furnaces didn't turn on so we called Admiral figuring they might have some background on our home and heating system. We called in the morning and within three hours, Joe was at my door to take a look at the furnace. He diagnosed the problem in less than five minutes, ordered the part from our house, picked it up, and was on his way to get it.
He was back and had the unit fixed by 2:30pm the same day. I highly recommend Admiral and Joe specifically for their prompt service, friendliness, and knowledge. We'll give Admiral a call the next time we need help.

Our home is now 20 years old and in need of a new and improved HVAC unit. We chose Admiral to do the work. Scheduling was quick and easy, the installation was done by a team of professionals and the work area was left cleaner than when the installation was started. BTW, the cost was fair and reasonable. My wife and I would recommend Admiral to anyone in need of HVAC needs. We are completely satisfied. Jan & Paul

We have been very pleased with Admiral. They installed our Furnace/Air Conditioner unit in 1996. Since then they have been very prompt in any maintenance or minor repairs. When it came to replace the unit this year they provided us with the information to choose the appropriate replacement and when we were ready for the replacement came out promptly replaced the system in half a day. The people who have provided the services have always been prompt and professional and would recommend them to anyone seeing HVAC services.

I can't say enough good about this company! When I moved to Pittsburgh in 2007 and purchased my house I started immediately having furnace problems. I didn't know who to call, so I saw a commercial on tv for a horrible deceptive company that begins with a "G". They told me I had a carbon monoxide leak, and shut my furnace down. Someone told the to call Admiral Heating. They came in my house, there was no carbon monoxide leak, it was a 50.00 fix.
Company "G" wanted to install a whole new furnace unnecessarily. Since then they have installed a new furnace and new air conditioning unit. Always fair prices. Anytime I call for service, they are there the same day! Highly recommended!

I couldn't be happier with the professionalism, punctuality, and top-notch service from Admiral Heating and Cooling! They have been servicing our HVAC system for over 25 years and I am as impressed with their reliability now as I was then. I have referred them to others, who all would agree with this review! Thank you Steve, Brian, and the rest of the crew!
