Went with this company based on reviews and I wasn't disappointed. When Ralph came out, I just KNEW I could trust him. He explained everything in detail, checked and double checked his work. Didn't try to oversell. He mentioned that the unit is old and will need replaced eventually but, wasn't pushy about it. Prompt. Respectful. Professional. The cost was slightly less than what I expected. Will definitely hire again if need be. THANKS RALPH!

I'm finishing my basement and had these guys come out and add ducts and supply/return vents. They quickly fit me in for an estimate and ultimately on their schedule. It was all done in a day and they even helped me out with a small task I tried doing and couldn't finish myself. They were very knowledgeable and asked the right questions to make sure I was getting what I wanted and didn't assume anything.

I will definitely be calling them again when their services are needed again! Since this review we have had them out to our place to tune up the AC as well as repair a bad motor. They fit us in sooner when they have cancellations and are always on time and knowledgeable. Call them!

They paid attention to the details when they installed our new AC unit. The unit looks great, it is a high quality Trane and their cost was lower then the competition. Other places sent a guy out to shmooze us for an hour and a half using every sales trick in the book, to give us quotes that were on average $800 more for crappier units. These guys quoted us over the phone on 30 seconds. And they were super punctual, called us back when they said they would each time and confirmed the appointment the day before with a quick call. Couldn't have had a better experience, and it was the best value for sure. If we ever need our furnace replaced we will call these guys first.

I've seen their commercial on TV asking to give them a shot at providing an estimate. So I called and left a message with salesperson Rick; never heard back. Call the next day, leave another message with salesperson Rick and Todd or Tom. Still no call back. So I called Standard Heating and they seemed more eager for my business, so they got my money instead. It seems Welter Heating is just wasting money on TV commercials. Rick and Tom called me to apologize for not responding in a prompt manner after seeing this post, so that's cool.

Welter's Heating Company is a very family -oriented company and a company that treats you like their best neighbor! We've used them for previous repairs as well as for AC and furnace purchases. Reasonably priced. Were kind, considerate and diligent problem solvers. Service was fast. Even received 2 space heaters to carry us over the weekend. Very prompt, experienced and high quality installation. Exceeded our expectations!
