I recently had a great experience working with this company. Their team was knowledgeable and efficient. Ken helped identify issues and provided options for repairs or replacements. Our Comfort Consultant, Derick, assessed our needs and offered suitable alternatives. We ultimately chose to replace our HVAC system, which turned out to be the best decision. I'm impressed with the speed of service, professionalism, and value for money. The company's reputation is well-deserved – I've already saved their contact info in my phone as my go-to HVAC expert.

I recently experienced a rare flood in my basement, which hadn't happened in 22 years. I called King, who has a long-standing relationship with me through my previous plumber, Jim Hosman. Within the hour, Nick was at my doorstep to resolve the issue. He did an excellent job and even helped prevent further water damage by starting work on the same day. The prompt response, professionalism, and honesty were impressive. I'm grateful for Nick's expertise and appreciate Jim's recommendation of King for restoration services.

Last night my furnace's blowers stopped working, cutting me off from heat. Since Iliana Heating and Cooling and All Services took advantage of me in the past, I asked a family member for their recommendation, but they were also untrustworthy. Luckily, King Heating, Cooling and Plumbing received great reviews, so I called them last night after hours. They got back to me first thing this morning saying someone would arrive within 20 minutes.
The technician showed up right on time, examined my furnace, and found the issue quickly. He was able to get the replacement part delivered in an hour and had my heat restored as soon as it was fixed. I'm extremely satisfied with their service - the technician worked diligently and professionally to resolve the problem efficiently. -
Avoid using this company at all costs. We called them about a shower leak in our upstairs bathroom and waited two days before being told it was the drain that needed fixing - but not before spending $1,200, including $800 to cut into our drywall just to take a look.
The price tag for actually fixing the issue was another $2,300. Unbelievable. We managed to find someone else who came out and replaced the drain without charging us nearly as much. The experience with their staff was also disastrous - we had to speak to the manager about being charged $800 to remove drywall, and it was a total nightmare.
Apparently, when we declined their additional membership fee during our first visit, they saw us as a money pit from then on. This company is not worth your time or money. Don't waste it on them - and I certainly won't be recommending them to anyone. King needs to step up their game if they want to earn back trust.
Update 10/31/2025: After posting this review, the company reached out and made a sincere effort to resolve the issue. They acknowledged that their customers are important to them and took steps to make things right. Their actions matched their words, and I'm updating my review to reflect the positive outcome. -
Ed, the technician, was top-notch. Showing up a couple of hours behind schedule didn't detract from his professionalism and friendliness. He quickly got down to business, explaining each step of the repair process in a way that made sense to me. Patient and courteous, Ed ensured I was comfortable before finishing the job. The service was exceptional - I'd definitely recommend Ed and King Heating.

I've relied on King for multiple services over the years and consistently received top-notch results. Their professionals are always reliable and deliver high-quality work. I've recommended them to friends, who've shared similar experiences. Today's visit was no exception - speedy service on a faulty water heater, with excellent craftsmanship throughout.
-
The technician showed great customer service skills, arriving promptly and completing the job efficiently. They were thorough in their work, leaving no mess behind. It's clear they have a good understanding of their trade, taking care to address any concerns and provide helpful advice. I'm confident in recommending them for future needs.

Devin was exceptionally trustworthy and professional. He demonstrated extensive knowledge and thoroughness. His positive attitude was also noteworthy. In stark contrast to my previous experience with Kings' installation crew from about two years ago, Devin's demeanor and work ethic were outstanding.

Our King H, C & P plumber was fantastic. They took the time to diagnose the problem and came up with a solution that saved us over $1000 by avoiding costly repairs. The level of care and consideration they showed was impressive - we're really glad we chose them.

Avoid this company like the plague. They don't stand behind their work, offering no warranty to begin with. The installation of my new furnace humidifier was botched - it never functioned properly. Unbelievably, they refused to take my calls to rectify the issue during the first installation. When I asked for assistance, I was curtly told they couldn't help and would instead send another contractor, Dawn Heating & Air.

We've found King Heating, Cooling and Plumbing to be reliable. On a Sunday, we lost heat and they responded promptly, fixing the issue quickly. Their technician, Eric, explained the problem clearly and worked efficiently, getting the furnace back online in no time.

They delivered on time, were courteous, and got the job done quickly. I needed help on Thanksgiving Day since my furnace wasn't working. After following the automated prompts, I spoke with Santiago, an HVAC tech who told me he'd be there in 20 minutes. He showed up promptly and assessed the issue. His professionalism and friendliness impressed me. The whole process took less than an hour, which was a huge relief. Thankfully, it turned out to be just a simple fuse replacement. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service.

I reached out to King's heating with AC unit troubles, but they were willing to replace both units if needed. Tyler showed up and thoroughly examined my AC and furnace - he was courteous, honest, and efficient. After talking to him, I decided to swap them out entirely. He introduced me to Amy, who was equally professional, friendly, and helpful in getting everything set up with Brandon, the advisor. Both of them were on top of their game, answering all my questions about discounts, timing, and installation details. Despite feeling anxious at first, the process moved along surprisingly quickly and smoothly - I'm pleased that the costs could be managed. Plus, they worked out a deal where I could put the repair/replacement on my Home Depot card, which is a big plus for me now I just need to wait for my install date.

AVOID THESE GUYS AT ALL COSTS. I had a shower leak that lasted two days before they poked holes in my wall and charged me $800 just to look at the drain. The final bill was a staggering $2,300, which is outrageous considering it's just a simple repair. They tried to sell me on this "Membership" nonsense, but I saw right through it. I'm grateful to have found someone else who can fix my leak for a fraction of what they wanted. Cutting drywall for $800? It's highway robbery. And don't even get me started on the supervisor - our conversation was uncomfortable at best.
I initially gave zero stars because their service left much to be desired. However, I want to give credit where credit is due. After posting my review, the company reached out and made things right with a fair resolution. They acknowledged that customer satisfaction is important to them and took steps to correct the issue. It's refreshing to see a company take responsibility for their mistakes and make amends. While I still stand by my initial warning, it's essential to give King credit for doing the right thing and showing a commitment to their customers. -
We had our furnace serviced by Dennis, who was incredibly friendly and expert. His work was top-notch, he thoroughly explained the process and demonstrated his expertise. Great job done, we'll be using King Heating again for sure.

I'd advise avoiding this company for any HVAC needs due to their questionable business practices. We had our furnace fail recently, so we called King's for an inspection and quote. After shelling out a $100 diagnostic fee, I was told the unit was outdated and multiple parts would need replacing.
They suggested replacing the whole thing instead of fixing it since the costs were supposedly similar. When I asked if just one part could fix the issue, they said it might work, but also warned that it could lead to more problems without clear answers. However, they never identified the specific cause of our furnace's failure despite paying that fee.
During the inspection, they also took a look at our water heater and claimed it was nearing its end of life. It's 13 years old, but we've had no issues with it. They pointed out some minor rubber ring problems as justification for unnecessary replacements.
After being quoted around $7,000 to get heat back in the house, my wife's coworker connected us with her brother-in-law, who has experience with similar furnaces. He had nothing good to say about King's, stating they frequently misdiagnose issues and inflate repair costs.
He fixed our igniter and the furnace started working again, which is now heating our home properly. It's infuriating that King's initially claimed multiple parts needed replacing when the real issue was a simple, affordable fix with labor included.
Don't waste your time, money, and stress - look elsewhere for HVAC services. -
Cole showed up promptly after I called, explaining what he was doing each step of the way. He suggested replacing my furnace and AC to prevent future problems since they were nearing the end of their lifespan. Cole contacted Jordan for a quote, who turned out to be hilarious, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable - exactly what I needed in someone coming to assess my situation.

My technician, Gerry, was excellent. He called ahead to ensure I was home before arriving, demonstrating a high level of professionalism. As it turned out, he had serviced my unit previously and knew my mom. He thoroughly explained each step and his reasoning, double-checking the work to confirm everything functioned properly. He also made practical recommendations for filters and maintenance. I highly recommend Gerry and your company - you deliver top-notch service with a friendly, professional approach.

Our experience with King Heating was fantastic, from start to finish. The technicians and installers were incredibly professional and courteous, which put me at ease right from the beginning. They tackled a serious issue with our furnace head-on and delivered outstanding results. Their attention to detail and expertise are top-notch. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in need of excellent work. From the moment they arrived, they worked efficiently, covering the floor with a cloth before getting down to business. The job was completed flawlessly, and we're now enjoying warm heat for the first time this winter - thanks to King Heating. As an added bonus, the technician even provided us with portable heaters to keep our home cozy until the installation was complete. We'll definitely be using their services again and can't sing their praises enough.

I had an exceptional experience with King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. From the initial quote to the installation, it's clear that the team prioritizes top-notch service at a reasonable price. My two large water heaters were installed by Tyler and Eric, who provided a flawless and considerate professional service. The work was executed perfectly, they left the site clean, and I genuinely appreciated their courtesy throughout the process. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor made them an absolute pleasure to deal with. I'll definitely be using their services again in the future.
