Report
We chose Lakes Heating & Air for a complete furnace, AC, duct & vent installation to replace the boiler heat and a single mini-split AC unit in a split-level house my wife and I are renovating. Lakes came highly recommended by a close friend in the industry, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the overall experience of dealing with the team (Brad, Mike, and Denver) every step of the way. Retro-fitting ducting into our split-level was no easy task, and Lakes was confident in their design and that they would be able to get the system installed.
We were blown away at the attention to detail of the installers and the effort given to install the system with minimal impact to the existing structure of the house. The job was done on time and there were no surprises or hidden costs on the final invoice. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Lakes Heating & Air to anyone looking for HVAC sales, service, and installations.

There are two furnaces in our home and there were two thermostats that were interconnected for some stupid reason. In other words, they were both required to use the problem unit. This started causing problems and Tom basically re-engineered the wiring and solved an ongoing problem in like 20 minutes. He is a very resourceful EXPERT and I have heat in both halves of the house again! Very cost effective too.

Lakes Heating installed my heating and A/C unit in 2002 when we built our house. I scheduled a appointment for cleaning of our heating/cooling system. Lakes Service Tech Ryan telephoned prior to his on time arrival. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. A true extension of the great quality of customer service oriented business like Lakes Heating. Thumbs up!

Best service, honest, fair prices! I called Lakes because of their reputation in the community, and I was not disappointed. My furnace went out during a cold snap of subzero temperatures, and Lakes got a new furnace in my home the very next day for a fair price. They could've charged me anything, but they did not take a vantage of my situation. Everyone conducted himself or herself like a complete professional. Everyone wore masks, and everyone was polite.
