This is a great company to work with. We used them to replace our Geothermal system in our home. They sent a team out replaced it in a day. On time, friendly, clean work area and very professional. Even had to call them the next week because we could not figure out the thermostat and they were able to walk us through it over the phone. Will definitely use them again!

Installed a new furnace in an older house within 3 days of accepting their estimate. Replaced a furnace they had installed almost 30 years ago. Quick "painless" installation. Kind enough to assist us in registering the warranty. FANTASTIC SERVICE! Service: Install heating system

R.J. Nelson Co was one of the only local HVAC companies that actually called me back to set up an appointment! They were quick, friendly, and professional when coming to my home for a quote, also extremely reasonable - a smidge cheaper than another company I had gotten a fast quote on. Not only that, Alvin, was thorough and explained to me what I needed and why. The team that came to install my new furnace and AC were on time, on the DOT, and were extremely professional, quick, friendly, and did a great job. I would highly recommend RJ Nelson if you need a new furnace and air conditioner!

Two work trucks speeding all over Dodge street, weaving in-and-out of traffic. Not very professional.
