    We were relieved when Niall arrived to diagnose the issue with our condo building's boiler. He impressed us with his expertise and work ethic, taking a thoughtful approach that proved effective. His dedication to finding a solution earned him top marks from us. We're now confident in Shavitz as our go-to maintenance team - no question. Damon in sales also deserves credit for his assistance and guidance throughout the process. Overall, our experience with Shavitz's staff was outstanding.

    Moshe did a thorough job on our annual furnace maintenance. He was professional, courteous, and clearly took the time to explain the process and show me what he was doing. I appreciated the detailed photos he shared of the internal workings and test results.

    Karol handled our heating service call with utmost professionalism and attention to detail. He dug deep, addressing my concerns about our system's electric usage and got in touch with other Shavitz resources to brainstorm a solution that balances warmth with cost savings. A solid job, thanks Karol!

    We've had two new furnaces and ACs installed about two years ago. The Shavitz team is competent, respectful, and tidy, but we've encountered numerous issues with these supposedly top-of-the-line units. Some problems are covered by warranty, while others aren't. Unfortunately, the ACs and furnaces don't seamlessly integrate with our Nest system, forcing us to revert to a 1997-era scheduling approach. The current setup only heats and cools when we're away, lacking dynamic adjustments like the Nest.

    While I'd choose another company, our financial obligations to the warranty services for these subpar HVAC units keep me from doing so. We've experienced recurring issues, with technicians coming out to fix one problem only to have it resurface a few months later. Different techs often disagree on their approach, leading to undone work and further frustration. Despite this, the team is composed of good people who seem to run the business well.

    I've had a consistently excellent experience with this home services business. The staff are both personal and professional, providing top-notch advice without any sales pressure. David and Carl were outstanding during my initial visit, delivering great communication throughout.

    Jordan showed up again when the temperature was above 40 degrees to complete the compressor installation for my new heat pump system. His service, professionalism, and attention to detail have not wavered. I'm eager to return in the future.

    I recently switched to Shavitz after years of service with Zartler Heating, which had been our go-to provider for over 40 years. The transition has been seamless, and I've been impressed with the company's phone service, care, and maintenance. Jonathan, my assigned technician, is exceptional - thorough, honest, and always a pleasure to deal with. His professionalism is evident in every visit.

    A recent seasonal check revealed some corrosion on the rods, but when Jonathan mentioned carbon monoxide safety concerns, it was clear I needed to upgrade my 17-year-old furnace. Shavitz provided me with options, and both Tim and Miraslaw were fantastic - professional, courteous, and left my home spotless. Although Miraslaw arrived a bit late in the afternoon, he returned later to ensure I was comfortable using the new thermostat.

    Throughout the experience, I've been consistently impressed by Shavitz's honesty, reputation, and reasonable pricing. From phone representatives to technicians, everyone has been great. I wholeheartedly recommend Shavitz for their exceptional service.

    We've had nothing but top-notch service from this company every time. Their tech took the time to walk us through what they were doing and explained each step. Great advice too - would definitely hire them again.

    I'm hesitant to share this, but I wanted to warn others about David's availability - he seems always on call for me. As a seasoned expert in tech from personal and professional experiences, I can confidently say David stands out from the rest. His knowledge and integrity are unparalleled, making him an absolute pleasure to deal with - no sales pitches or pressure. He genuinely prioritizes customer satisfaction without compromise. My experience has been exceptional, and I'm glad to have found someone like David who truly puts customers first.

    David did a good job assessing our old boiler system, pointing out necessary repairs and parts that were likely harmless. His straightforward approach was appreciated - we value his honesty and would consider hiring him and Shavitz again in the future.

    Moshe did a great job - we're new here and didn't know the ins and outs of the place. He walked us through everything, offered some helpful tips, and really helped us get settled in.

    Jonathan assessed my 11-year-old furnace to provide an outside opinion on its condition. He conducted a thorough inspection with a recommendation for a follow-up analysis of combustible materials, which would help determine the true state of my furnace. Jonathan was courteous and provided valuable information.

    Samuel performed a more in-depth assessment specifically targeting the HX system. During this evaluation, I found that my furnace is functioning as it should be for its age and no additional work is necessary. What a relief - I initially thought I'd have to consider replacing the furnace.

    Stavitz H & C earned a positive reputation due to their recommendation, and they didn't disappoint in delivering exceptional service.

    I've relied on Shavitz Heating and Air Conditioning since 2019 and been consistently impressed. When our furnace stopped working during a major snowstorm in November, the owner sprang into action, dispatching a skilled technician to repair it. Despite being out of town for Thanksgiving, Bronson personally ensured we didn't freeze - he kept us informed every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and the team's expertise, our heat was restored soon after. It's rare to find such personalized attention from an owner, which is why we're so grateful for their service.

    I wholeheartedly endorse Shavits. They're incredibly welcoming and ultra-expert. Worth every penny for a top-notch installation with people who genuinely care about their clients' business needs from start to finish, offering all the options and tax incentives available - it's no wonder they have an outstanding reputation.

    David has been our go-to guy for 20 years and it shows - his expertise is unmatched. His methodical approach tackles any issue with precision and efficiency, delivering top-notch results without hassle. He excels at both high-level strategy and tactical execution, making him an invaluable asset. Plus, he's a great person to work with - knowledgeable, reliable, and always gets the job done.

    Nelson arrived on time, gave me all the information I needed, and explained everything clearly. He tweaked my system and patched up some duct leaks he'd found due to subpar work from another service. What impressed me was his focus on providing peace of mind, ensuring I could rely on my heating system throughout winter. Not looking for a cheap deal, I'm willing to pay for top-notch professionals. The premium membership seems like the right choice. The phone representative was also friendly and helpful.

    We've been working with Shavitz for years, and their service has consistently met our expectations. Recently, we experienced issues with a new tankless water heater and sought a second opinion from them, as they're familiar with these systems. They quickly identified the problem and provided a solution in a prompt manner. Their expertise and reliability have earned us their high recommendation.

    Our technician exceeded expectations - extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Took great care to document the work process, which helped me understand what was done. I'm consistently impressed by this company's professionalism and attention to detail.

    I hired them for a consultation on my boiler, hoping to get a fresh perspective on my system. Both technicians, David and Jackson, listened attentively to my concerns and provided thorough explanations. Their expertise earned the high price tag, making it a worthwhile investment for an objective assessment.

    We experienced a power outage at 1 pm and were promptly attended to two hours later by a technician from the company. A replacement motor was sourced, requiring a one-hour round trip by the driver, and our heating was restored by 7 pm. The technician was courteous, efficient, and demonstrated excellent customer service. Their prompt response and attention to detail are greatly appreciated.

    Excellent service from Shavitz, as usual. Karl was outstanding, providing a detailed breakdown of the work completed. I appreciate the photos showing the furnace and HVAC system's condition, giving insight into its aging process. I highly recommend Shavitz to anyone seeking a trustworthy company for reliable HVAC support, where customers are treated with helpful service.
