We suddenly lost air conditioning when temps about to reach 100. Howald provided same day service, identified the problem and repaired it quickly and efficiently at very reasonable cost. The technician was knowledgeable and professional. We signed right up for their maintenance program. Would highly recommend Howald to all. Service: A/C system repair

I highly recommend Howald for all your Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing needs. They have installed both a furnace and more recently an air conditioner in my home. Everyone I have worked with has been very friendly and personable! From the quote to the install we were very happy! Give them a call!

Unfortunately the AC unit at our new business was stolen not once, but twice. Thankfully we called Howald to replace our units both times. Our salesperson, Don, went above and beyond to help us replace these units quickly and within a budget we could afford. Installation is always on time and professional. Can't thank this company enough for their help.

I have been searching for a plumbing company I trust, and I have finally found it in Howald. I was quoted a fair price in a fast time frame, the work was completed quickly, and wow, did Austin do an amazing job. He didn't just come in and throw a new water heater in. He took the time to make sure the job was done with above average quality, showed me the ins and outs, was courteous, thorough, punctual, and friendly. I am beyond happy with the work and look forward to using Howald in the future.

Now Howald has serviced me over time with a new AC, a new furnace, and a new toilet! I'm so grateful for your prompt, careful, polite and excellent-quality service! I live alone and don't always understand a problem or know what to do. You came out on a Saturday night when my furnace went out and got it going again! Your men always explain things for me in a simple polite way and answer all my questions - and then solve the problem! Your prices are completely competitive with others I've looked at. And I've never had to wait very long to get someone here to help. I'm so grateful that you are so reliable. Thanks!

Called Howald for a plumbing appointment to replace and install a Slide Bar with Hand Shower. Austin Metzler is the person of choice for all our plumbing repairs. He is always polite, friendly, and courteous about wearing booties in the house. We have used him for repairs on our toilets, faucets, shower spray jets and water heater maintenance. It's comforting to have someone that is knowledgeable and trustworthy to perform a job well. We have been Howald HVAC customers for years and happy when they started offering plumbing services. Overall an A+ company with great customer service.
