Words From Our Customers
John arrives on time after the company called to say he was on his way, and enters the house after pulling protective coverings over his shoes. He lays a protective cloth in front of the heater and neatly sets out his toolkit. He opens the heater and inspects every part, testing some with his tools. He didn't find anything wrong in this visit, but in the last one he found and fixed many problems. He works in a quick and relaxed manner. He chats pleasantly as he works. He writes the company name and date of the visit on the front of the heater so we'll know when he worked on it. He thoroughly describes what he did, what he found, what he recommends going forward. Then he cleans up and picks up his gear, leaving nothing behind, writes his report and finishes his billing. My heater now works perfectly again. I wish all my service technicians were as professional and effective as John is.

My first google review, but these guys were fantastic and knowledgeable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOWNING!!! Of course, my experience with another heating company that starts with Br*** may be the reason. The other company came out, and within 10 minutes declared my 15 year old furnace needed a new control board and quoted about $2,000 (and of course, tried to upsell me on a new furnace!!! ). First of all, the board is only $315 on the internet, and secondly, Downing came out, saw that my polarity was reversed and fixed my problem within a service window. The Downing technician John was professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and was able to fix the problem quickly. I highly recommend Downing - they're not trying to upsell, just doing a quality job! Thank you!!!!

Great experience with this company. I sent an email asking for info, got a call the next day. The technician came when scheduled - and they gave me a one-hour window, which is a rare thing! He was polite, professional, and thorough, if a bit chatty. He gave me information and explanations about what he was doing. He told me my 25-yr-old furnace was performing well, but that if it starts misbehaving, I shouldn't spend money on fixing it, but rather to replace it. And he informed me that he saw evidence of rats under my house. I appreciated that, even if I didn't like hearing it! They gave me an accurate quote for servicing my heater and A/C system, and performed all the work in about an hour and a half.

I've been using Downing for years & have never had a complaint. They check it out ever year. Recently I returned from vacation & found the furnace would not click on. I called them & they came out that same day. The repairman found the problem, had the part in his truck & now my furnace works like a charm! The repairman was perfect. And the furnace is quieter than it used to be. Love their service!
Judy G.
Downing's service technicians have maintained and, yesterday, repaired our 55! year old furnace. They do not upsell you, so when they tell us it is time to replace it, Downing will have our business for that process, absolutely.
Anne B.
Great owner, great prices, clean, timely, no hassle work. Everything up front in writing, company stands behind there work and there word. Highly recommend to all.
Ron C.
These guys were great. We bought a foreclosure house and were stuck with a rotting heating system, so we didn't have much of a choice but to replace everything. We could have gone with a slightly cheaper quote, but these guys are total pros - why mess with your heat??

HVAC Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to change my air filters?
Once a month is a pretty good rule of thumb for most people. Depending on where you live and how much dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants are present, the answer could be more or less. Check your filter frequently to determine if it’s dirty. If it is, change it.
What size AC unit do I need?
There’s no easy answer for this one. A lot of factors will go into what size heating and cooling unit you’ll need. The type of house you own, its walls, insulation, attic space, and more can go into determining what size unit is required. A system that is too large could result in a home that’s too humid, causing problems with moisture and mold. A system that is too small will run constantly, running up your energy bill. Only a qualified heating and cooling technician can determine what size unit is best for your home.
Should I cover my AC unit in the fall and winter?
While covering your unit can prevent unwanted debris from accumulating on the unit, it can also cause problems if you try to operate it with the covering in place. If you’re going on a long trip and plan to turn the unit off while you’re gone, feel free to cover it up. Just make sure you disconnect the power source before leaving.
Why should I replace my R-22 outdoor unit with an R410A?
R-22 refrigerant and equipment are being phased out as Montreal Protocol regulations intended to reduce the impact on ozone take hold. As time passes, replacement parts and refrigerants for old R-22 units will become harder to find and more expensive, so replacing your unit now can save you some headaches in the future.
