They started being dishonest right from the get-go. They worked extremely slow to milk the clock because they charge by the hour. Then did not do more than one aspect before calling in another person to charge us for that as well. That person did nothing but stand around and socialize and we were billed for it. They also did damage to my unit and claimed an electrician did it. After saying they would call us the following day to schedule finishing the work, we heard nothing for 4 days.

They literally did an hours work and billed us $600! I terminated them and had an excellent company come and they literally had my unit up and running within an hour and a half and I couldn't be happier with the results. DO NOT USE THESE SCAM ARTISTS. (THEY'RE NOT WHAT THE PARENTS WERE WHO RETIRED.)

I received a text and a call 30 minutes before service man arrived as a heads up that he was in his way. He was friendly and did a great job. Our A/C was working within 30 to 40 minutes and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend their services and will personally use the in them in the future if I need them Service: Repair HVAC

I just cannot say enough good things about Poorman's Heating. We got quotes from four different HVAC companies as our 20 year old furnace was starting to have problems. We decided on Poorman's, and of course our old furnace quit on a Friday night in the dead of winter. Not only did the service tech try to get it working for the weekend, but when that did not work, Mike brought us portable heaters to get us through the weekend until we could get our new furnace installed. Tyler was here on Monday morning installing our new furnace and I must say the service was wonderful, timely, and very very tidy. We were blown away with the service Poorman's provided in addition to the best furnace. Trane. Thank you and kudos to a wonderful company. Why would anyone ever go anywhere else?!?

Poorman's were able to order and provide a needed part for us to fix our furnace with no hassle. The office staff was friendly and I'm very happy with their service. If we need service again in the future I'll be giving them a call. Service: Heating system repair

Well for starters they did a pretty decent job for the most part but I've had to call them back out on 3 different occasions for minor repair, , the unit isn't a yr old yet and they want to charge for stuff I feel I shouldn't have to pay for on a brand new heating and air Service: Installation
