Had a great experience using Riccar. We have been struggling with dryness in our home and had been using portable humidifiers as our installed humidifier wasn't working. This was causing our furnace filters to become dirty faster than usual. We called Riccar on Monday evening and Chris came out on Wednesday afternoon. He was incredibly attentive and answered all of my questions as we are getting more familiar with the home as we just bought it. Overall was a really pleasant experience and will definitely be using their service for a new motor on my air exchanger (which Chris was able to point out and explain the details).

My A/C dies on the hottest day of the year. I called early and Chris was here in no-time. He's clearly experienced, diagnosed the problem and had things up and running quickly. Very personable as well. Highly recommend! A+++

I was impressed with everyone I dealt with. In March, I called for a new A/C price quote. Greg came out. He gave me a quote that was $700 and $500 below my two other quotes. But he also suggested that I not get a new A/C which impressed me. He said if it were him, he would call the office when the weather got warm and get an A/C inspection for $149. I did just that. Chris came out yesterday and gave my A/C a "clean bill of health!" This is an honest business. They are not going to try to sell you anything you do not need. I plan to have them out again in November for a routine furnace inspection.

Excellent! My furnace quit in the middle of the night, I knew what part I needed. I drove over to Riccar and they had the part, gave me some helpful information and by 7:45 am. I had heat again! I've used their services in the past and always been impressed. I can highly recommend them. They are great! Service: Heating system maintenance

I couldn't be more pleased with service we received for the replacement of our central air conditioner. The existing air conditioner was over 30 years old and there were challenges in getting the evaporator coil placed properly in the plenum. Sam did a phenomenal job of working through the challenges of the installation. When they were finished with the installation, Sam walked me through all that I needed to know about the new system and how to register it for the warranty.
They cleaned up so well you wouldn't have known anything was ever even done. Aaron did a great job of communicating with us to get the job quoted and get it scheduled as well. All in all one of the best experiences I've ever had with a professional contractor. A+++
