I recently finished a whole-house renovation of a 100-year-old house and needed two new furnaces installed. Matt and his team walked me through what needed to be done, showed up on time, and cleaned up as if they were never there. They even handled the rebates with CenterPoint Energy. They made a big job easy.

We have a 120 year old Victorian home that we converted from an upstairs/downstairs duplex to single family and needed to add A/C to the upstairs this past spring. We had quotes from several contractors in town that were all very high because of our "old house with unusual needs". Barker came out, did a thorough inspection and told us we didn't need many of the extras the others were including in their quote. And that the size of the system they were recommending was larger than we needed. We decided to go with Barker, and we are so glad we did. The new A/C system kept our upstairs nice and cool

Great and honest company! After being ripped off from another local company, it was nice to find a company who explained everything and all my options.

All I can say is that Barker has a customer for life. from my first encounter for diagnosis to sales and finally system install, I am impressed by the customer service, professionalism and their core values to ensure customer satisfaction. Well done Barker. If you are looking for a company who is honest and provides quality service, look no further than Barker heating and air.
