At their recommendation, installed a Bosch heat pump. Best decision I've made in a long time. Cools and heats efficiently. Have seen a decrease in electricity usage and cost. Hipp's installation and service can't be beat.

I've lived on both coasts, in 4 different states and seen many HVAC contractors both good and bad. If you asked me to recommend ANYONE better than Hipps I would have to say they have no true peers. Most folks in this industry want to just get it done and get gone, Hipps does it right and makes sure you are happy with it. Honest, courteous, personable, professional with VERY reasonable prices. If you want something done right, CALL Hipps!

We are building a house in Flat Rock and are so glad that our builder used Hipp's Heating and Air for our HVAC and gas line needs. Their customer service and work are excellent. Richard and Melinda are great to work with and helped us out during those minor hiccups that occur when building a new house. I would not hesitate to recommend Hipp's to anyone looking for HVAC work done well, for a good, fair price.
