I did not actually use Barker but they still gained me as a loyal customer. After calling around to several HVAC companies for my frozen AC during the Heatwave, I finally reached Barker who helped me over the phone with some useful tips to help me until they COULD get to me (which was asap when someone was in my area). Next week was the soonest for any other company, understandably so! I did explain to the dispatcher that I was pretty worried about my dogs and They put me on a service call list for someone to get there as soon as possible. They called me three hours later but I was at work:(! I just appreciate their willingness and making me priority in a stressful situation. Thank you!

The receptionist who took the call was super polite and professional. The technician Joe came out and was also extremely polite and professional, educated me on what was wrong and offered a solution. It was clear he was very knowledgeable and he was in and out within under an hour. Overall a wonderful experience, I'm happy to support a local company who supports me and will be calling Barker Heating and Air for my next service need.

I recently finished a whole-house renovation of a 100-year-old house and needed two new furnaces installed. Matt and his team walked me through what needed to be done, showed up on time, and cleaned up as if they were never there. They even handled the rebates with CenterPoint Energy. They made a big job easy. Services:Install thermostat, Install heating system

We have a 120 year old Victorian home that we converted from an upstairs/downstairs duplex to single family and needed to add A/C to the upstairs this past spring. We had quotes from several contractors in town that were all very high because of our "old house with unusual needs". Barker came out, did a thorough inspection and told us we didn't need many of the extras the others were including in their quote.
And that the size of the system they were recommending was larger than we needed. We decided to go with Barker, and we are so glad we did. The new A/C system kept our upstairs nice and cool all summer without blowing up our utility bills. And the total was about 40% less than the other quotes we received. We couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend them.
