I highly recommend Steve and Cost Plus Heating & Air. My furnace stopped working, even after another furnace company had come out to fix it. When I called around to get service, everyone told me it would be at least a week before I could get a repair. Steve was able to get out the next day, identify and fix the problem. He also explained why the problem occurred. Other furnace folks have told me that my furnace needs to be replaced due to its age, but Steve said that it's a good furnace and could run for several more years. Music to my ears! Finally, the cost of the repair was very, very reasonable. I cannot recommend Cost Plus enough. Thank you Steve for helping us stay warm over the holiday weekend!

Steve installed a new heater and AC for us in our new home this year and we can't say enough good things about the entire experience. Because of supply chain issues outside of Steve's control, our units were delayed. Steve helped fix up the existing AC to keep our house as tolerable as possible during the awful summer heat and then found an alternative unit to keep us going with AC ahead of the second big heat wave.

He even showed up during the first heat wave (with 115 degree temps!) to try to fix our AC even though he'd been working almost 24/7. He got us set up with a heater to keep the house comfortable until our new unit finally arrived, and then came ASAP to get everything installed. We would give 20 stars if we could--thank you so much!

At a difficult moment - busted furnace - Steve from Cost Plus swooped in and saved the day/winter! His old-school dedication, professionalism, and tenacity looking for the right fix for us was really inspiring. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Steve was very professional and knows his stuff. He fixed issues I had for years from previous bad install that a different contractor did. I recommend Cost Plus over any other contractors out there Service: Heating maintenance

They did a great job installing Central AC for us. They were booked out quite far, but that's every good contractor these days. Steve's quote was competitive, and he did not go over the quote even though supply/shipping issues meant he had to order a different unit than originally planned.

If you want straightforward professional no-BS contractor, these are the guys for you. I appreciated that Steve was very upfront about the pros and cons of the central AC system we wanted to install so we could make an informed decision. Couldn't be happier (especially with the crazy summer we're having!) and have been recommending them to everyone we can!
