I cannot speak more highly about Capital Heating & Cooling. They are honest, reliable and provide excellent work/services at fair prices! The HVAC system I had installed was done with precision and properly met the needs for my square footage - meaning I was not oversold a system I did not need! I appreciate their customer loyalty in offering free inspection at the one year installation date! Great service with a smile! Highly recommend using their services!

Travis was amazing. He arrived on time, diagnosed the problem quickly and had it fixed quickly. The entire process was less than one hour. I really appreciated Capital sending a tech photo prior to his arrival. Great company! I highly recommend. Service: Toilet repair

We have used Capital Hearing and Cooling for many years and find them to be reputable, reliable and skilled. They serviced our old furnace and weren't pushing us to buy a new one. When it finally quit working, they were here the next day to evaluate our needs, give recommendations and we purchased our new HVAC system from them. Their technicians are people you feel comfortable having in your home! Well mannered and skilled, pleasant and helpful.

The technician went above and beyond to figure out our problem, despite it taking him well into a Friday evening. He was friendly and knowledgeable and determined to give us heat before he left. The company was really good at communicating with us every step of the way. Would recommend this company anytime and absolutely loved our tech, Trevor Anderson!

We contacted Capital Heating & Cooling about dryer vent cleaning, and they were able to get us in the next day. The first employee to come out quickly assessed that he needed additional equipment, and within 15 minutes a second employee was out here. They were able to clean out the vents in about an hour and a half all told, and very little contact needed from me. Now I don't have to worry about a house fire when I use the dryer! :
