Big thank you to Sharpe & Richards for making us a priority this morning we got back from camping on Sunday to a house that was 83 degrees, we called night service around 4pm and was called about 8am that Sharpe would be there before 9. Great service & professionalism he had it fixed within half an hour we highly recommend Richards Heating & Air Conditioning

Had an installation done by this company; basically they do it in a way that you will be chasing your tail to fix the problems in the unit and will be completely dependent on them to fix the problem. Questionable business ethics.

They fixed my furnace the same day (in two separate visits), but the tech wasn't friendly and clearly wanted to replace rather than repair. When he was here and performing the repair, I listened intently and heard that the furnace was running very quietly/smoothly. As soon as he left, the furnace began rattling and is making me feel nervous that the repair won't last. I won't be able to use them again.

Richards is the absolute best!! From the first phone call to the completion of the job they were professional and caring!! After a horrible experience with another heating and air conditioning company who didn't show up not only once but twice the prior week Richards proved to be the opposite end of the spectrum! They called to let me know the techs were on their way. While they could've installed a universal igniter it was not the exact one the furnace needed so they located one in minutes went and got it and installed it! That is true customer service and caring! I cannot recommend

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Richard's. I worked with John Smith, one of the owners, to get an estimate for my new water heater. He took a personal interest in helping us find a perfectly sized water heater for our small space. And he researched to figure out how to get us an extended warranty. He did not charge to come and check out our strangely configured space, as many others wanted to do. The guys showed up exactly on time and installation was a breeze. John actually came out mid-day to see how it was going. The guys did a great job and cleaned up before taking off at the

We are very, very happy Richard air-conditioning customers for 10+ years. And we continue to be impressed by their service. We recently had an issue that required a lot of attention to detail and patience, and we were so happy that Richards stuck with us to find the problem and solve it. Their techs are top-notch (thank you Herbert and Sharp!), and thank you to Richard himself for his personal involvement and interest in getting it solved.
