This is a company who truly cares for people. In a way, HVAC businesses are a type of "first responder": they get called when heating breaks in the coldest of cold-snaps or a/c breaks during the hottest days. For families who experience these kinds of incidents, it can truly be an emergency. This was the case for our family, and 888 was our hero -- not once, but twice. I should have written a review after the first time they arrived as first responders -- when our furnace went out right after Thanksgiving during a cold snap. We needed our furnace replaced. We got a few quotes, with 888 being one of them that was very reasonable. Most other businesses couldn't fit us in for a furnace replacement for several days. 888 came to give bid and made it happen within the same day by moving things around on their schedule. I didn't realize until they came later that day that replacing a furnace takes a crew -- several guys and many hours. It must have taken 888 a lot of coordination to get the crew and parts together so quickly. The crew was so professional, and we have young children, so having a warm house was essential for us during those freezing cold days. I had been meaning to write a review about that incident, but parent life got busy and a few weeks went by. Yet, it is the rest of this story that is the most important part. Many companies can be professional, many companies may even be able to shift things around to get a crew together fast (though we couldn't find one!), but not many companies care about people like 888 does. Yesterday, I awoke like any other day. I got up early, drank my coffee, woke up my kids, got them ready for school. My husband was out of town for work. My five-year-old awoke telling me her room "smelled bad." I also thought I smelled something...was it the faint smell of gas? I wasn't quite sure. Just in case, I called 888 to see if they could send someone out to check the new furnace. They said they would get someone out within the half hour. When I returned home after school drop off about 10 minutes later, I walked into my house to the strongest smell of gas. It was so strong that I nearly passed out. In a panic, I ran into the house and opened a few windows, then ran out again to get air. I did this a few times until had a 3 or 4 windows open. Moments later, 888 pulled up: it was Eljay and Michael -- my first responders and my heroes. They entered the house, expressing alarm at the level of gas smell -- Eljay used his wand and confirmed that the gas was not coming from the furnace (of course, it was brand new and expertly installed), but by the fireplace (which we had recently gotten serviced by a fireplace company; that company will not receive a positive review). Eljay confirmed that the gas line inside the fireplace looked like it had been cut and gas was spewing out at such a rate that it was making a hissing noise. Eljay stopped the gas flow to the fireplace, Michael instructed me to quickly open all the windows in the house. They stayed until the gas level reached a safe level, they gave me a timeline for when I should close the windows (it was 11 degrees that day) and when it would be safe to turn on the furnace again. And when I asked how much it cost for their trouble to come out, Eljay said, "Don't worry about a charge. We are just happy to have helped and that you are safe." Then, in the thick of my gas-filled house, with windows open and frigid air pouring in, there in front of my Christmas tree with my kind first responders, I really did cry with gratitude. This is not just a review. It is a story of kindness. It is a story of a company who really cares and of two wonderful employees who went the extra mile when they didn't have to. (The fireplace isn't even their job!) This is the story I want you to think about when an HVAC emergency hits your family. Who are the first responders you want? Who is going to care about your family's wellbeing? 888 Heating and Air Conditioning is that company, Eljay and Michael and their whole crew are your team and your partners. Thanks for reading! Wishing all readers a very warm holiday season! read more

On 6/6/17 888 Heating came to my home to inspect an A/C unit that wasn't functioning properly. Upon arrival, I informed the service tech that the condensor fan was not functioning and the tech began his inspection. Initially, the tech identified a blown fuse and a bad capacitor as the culprit but mentioned he would like to do a full condenser inspection and shortly after he concluded that the compressor was bad. According to the tech the condensor unit was so old that a compressor replacement wasn't a viable option and he shared the bad news; the entire unit needed to be replaced (to the tune of ~$5000.00). The rep completed his paperwork and informed me the owner would contact me to complete an estimate. Now, I called 888 Heating because the condensor fan wasn't functioning and all of a sudden the compressor went out...seemed odd. So, after the tech left I broke out my multimeter and decide I would check the compressor myself. I hate to say I wasn't surprised to find the compressor in working order. The capacitor and fuse however, were bad. At the time I decided I would give the tech the benefit of the doubt and would order the parts and replace them myself to confirm the unit was functional. A few days later the parts arrived, they were installed and the unit was rewired (service tech didn't bother to hook anything back up before he left) and the A/C was up and running. Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with the service I received from 888 Heating. A miss-diagnosis of a compressor is a very difficult thing to do. One literally needs to hold the test leads on three contact points which takes seconds. I have only two conclusions here: either the service tech is completely incompetent or he is dishonest. Sadly, it is very hard for me to think he could be that grossly incompetent. To be fair, I did speak to the owner who seemed genuinely apologetic but it was far too late. As I told the owner, I would never, ever use 888 Heating again even though he offered free service in the future. The bottom line is one needs to trust the integrity of a their contractors and 888 Heating will never get my trust back. If you choose to use 888 Heating please do so with extreme caution. I paid ~$35 to replace the parts and had I gone with the 888 Heating diagnosis it would have cost ~$5000. If something doesn't seem right PLEASE get a second opinion or if you're capable, check it for yourself. As long as you're VERY careful (no joke, you could be killed or seriously injured) you can learn almost anything online. read more

I recently had a new furnace and A/C unit installed by 888 Heating. I received 5 bids for this project from some of the top companies in Denver/Littleton area. I own a Tri-Level home that had the original furnace (1976) and no A/C. The other heating & air companies informed me that when installing A/C in a Tri-Level the upstairs would not be as cool as the rest of the house. This was a problem since the upstairs was sweltering in the summer. I was extremely discouraged with this information. I even had one company tell me that they would rather not install an A/C unit in a Tri-Level due to this problem. Not one of those companies would guarantee that my upstairs would get cool enough. Garrett, the owner of 888 Heating, personally came to my home and walked me through what he would be able to provide. He advised me that he had a solution to my upstairs cooling needs. Once I sat down and reviewed all the bids, I went with 888 Heating. Not because they were the lowest, in fact they were one of the highest bids I received, it was Garrett and his confidence that he could provide me a top of the line unit for both furnace and A/C and that I would be satisfied with how it cooled the house. 888 Heating's install crew was professional, courteous and friendly. I have been running my A/C now for over a month and my upstairs stays a cool 70 degrees. The old saying, "You get what you pay for" definitely is the case here. Money well spend to have quality units with a terrific warranty from a company that provides outstanding service. I have also signed up for their maintenance program. I'm worry free knowing 888 Heating will be there for me if I need them. Extremely Satisfied Customer in Littleton CO~Teri read more

Matthew was the BEST! We were so impressed by how knowledgeable and informative he was. It was very easy to make an appointment, he showed up on time, was very respectful, talked us through everything (and showed details to us), and even gave us some privacy to discuss what we wanted to do. He even went back to the shop to get a free-standing unit for us so we wouldn't fry while waiting for our new system. I also want to add that we had a very bad (and I think dishonest) experience with a different company a few days prior to this. Thank goodness my nephew, who is in HVAC in Vegas, recommended 888! They are so honest and just the best, smartest people! *Edit after furnace and AC Installation* Wow! These guys continue to impress. Tom and Omar came to do our new AC and furnace installation. They were professional, VERY respectful of our home (which I'm picky about, so thank you!), were on time, worked SO HARD, and even stayed until 8pm the first night to make sure we had AC before they left. That was SO nice of them. Tom actually listened to me when I told him I have medical issues that are affected by heat, so he said he wanted to make sure I had AC for the night. They came again today to finish up with the furnace. They cleaned up super well after completing the job - it looked amazing when they were done. Tom took the time to explain and show everything to me when they were finished. Would HIGHLY recommend these guys! Ask for Tom and Omar! read more

I took bids from several companies, and boy am I ever glad that I chose 888 Heating. Garrett came out and gave me a quote, actually three quotes...Good, Better, and Best. He was very detail oriented, brought up things the other companies did not consider, and also came up with a solution for an upstairs room that I have that needed some air - that none of the other companies considered. His attention to detail was exceptional, and not only that- he and his team (Ben and Joel) delivered on everything that he said they would do. My install was not going to be easy in my mind, as it also involved a crane in getting my AC Compressor into place. It was a couple of days work, but they sure made it look easy - as they were very efficient in installing everything (AC Unit, Furnace, Air purifier, additional room ductwork) in a very timely manner. They worked very well with other professionals on the job at my place (electricians and crane operator) and left my place as clean (probably cleaner) than when they got there. I think and believe that Garrett, Ben and his team are honest, reliable, trustworthy, do exceptional work - and I can assure you that whenever I need heating or cooling help in the future, these fine folks will be the professionals that I call, although I really consider them family at this point.

Poor air flow in 50+ year old house. One of our neighbors recommended Garrett and 888 Heating for similar issue. Garrett came out and looked at the system and ducting. He made recommendations on how to fix problem (lack of proper return air flow). He pointed out that our furnace was 15 years old and a lot of the work needed to fix the air flow would be included in a new furnace purchase. We purchased a new furnace and had them install an additional register in far corner of cold kitchen. Installers Ben and Joel were prompt, courteous and encouraged me to ask questions as they installed the new furnace, return and register. They cleaned up after both days and even painted the inside of the new return box flat black, so you couldn't see the ducting when looking into the floor grate. We have an Ecobee thermostat which was installed without issue. Garrett came by both days to inspect the work and asked if I had any questions/concerns. I'm new to Yelp, but I know it can be tough to find good contractors and wanted to share my experience with this company. Was very happy with the entire process. read more

I would whole-heartedly recommend 888 Heating. Deri arrived right on time (an actual time certain, not a "window"). He was efficient at inspecting both the furnace and A/C. He worked through the inspection checklist without rushing. He explained what he found on both systems and throughly tested them, emailing a detailed report. The system was installed about 2 1/2 years ago by a company that I would not use ever again. Wish I had known about 888 at that time. Deri found a couple of issues that were incorrectly done and fixed them. As a result of the excellent service I have total confidence in this company and will continue to use and recommend 888 Heating. Extremely professional. read more

Used these guys for the first time to check out my non-lighting furnace. I received very prompt and professional service. Matt was very knowledgeable, explained the (chilly) situation in great detail, and answered all my questions. My bad igniter was fixed quickly and he and his partner did an assessment of my 21 yr-old furnace on the spot. I plan to use 888 to replace my surprisingly durable Ruud unit within a year at the most since it's about time, we could use a more efficient model, and there is evidence of progressing degradation after 2+ decades. Many thanks guys for a very helpful repair and check-up. Highly recommended. read more

I cannot recommend 888 heating enough. They came out to repair a very old furnace that was not working during a big snow storm in December. They arrived early, yes early not late. The technician Garrett was highly knowledgeable and explained to me what needed to be done and that the last people that installed the furnace did not do it up to code and sold me an old refurbished furnace instead of a new one. :( I am on a tight budget and he gave me several solutions to help me stay warm. They were fantastic and I will go back to them whenever I need my furnace fixed! read more

We have used Garrett and the team at 888 Heating for a number of years now - what continues to really be consistently great and honest service, above and beyond what we've experienced with other vendors. Garrett and his team work with you to ensure that the fix meets your needs and budget - clearly outlines options and then gets right to work to accomplish the job. They have also always been great about our nosy pups who truly think that the team "needs help". We can't recommend them enough - and Join the club - such a great opportunity for additional savings. read more

I was very pleased with this company! I really appreciated the initial findings of my furnace and AC unit. Deri was incredibly thorough as I was presented with an 11-page assessment with actual pictures of the interior of my unit as well as pics of all meter readings. The turnaround time between my order and the install was very quick. My installers, Walter and Mike were extremely professional and polite and respected my home. They made sure I understood all the new features and to let them know if I had any issues or questions. I highly recommend this company! read more

Garrett and 888 Heating is the Best! Garrett has helped us now for 2 years. He came highly recommended from the previous owners of our house. We are very thankful to have him help us too. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and prompt. This spring we had a noisy problem with our AC unit outside when we first turned it on for the season. Understanding my sense of urgency he came right out and fixed the problem in the midst of his very busy schedule. I have and will continue to recommend 888 Heating to everyone, thanks Garrett!! read more

They felt like family walking through the door.No pressure in sales they were straight forward in fixing the system I already had. So knowledable and clean.

How refreshing to have a professional that knows what he is doing and does not cheat you. This is the second time I have used 888 Heating and I would highly recommend them for your A/C and heating needs. They are on-time, efficient, very knowledgeable and quick to respond to your needs. I cant say enough about Garrett and this company. Dont make the mistake to calling Applewood or Plumbline they are both crooks and way overcharge. read more

Justin did our annual heating inspection of our 17 year old furance. He observed that the a part needed to be replaced (based on internet search I determined it was past its expeted lifetime). He got the job done the same day and the price is what my research said it would be. He took the time ot show me the issues with the furnace and what ot expect in the future. He did a great job. Have been using 888 for over 15 years. read more

888 Heating provided me the information and details I needed to make a well informed decision to choose 888 to do the A/C work we needed. Their price was more than fair and the best value for the work done! I contacted at least 10 Heating & A/C places and 888 was by far the best choice. I was impressed before they even arrived to do the work...the work is now done and I am equally if not more impressed. Thanks 888! read more

We used 888 Heating back in July to get a new central A/C unit for our home. They were all very professional, competent and polite. From Kyle who came out to explain everything and give quote options, to Benito, Mason and their crew, they worked hard to get the install just right, which is the key. I would highly recommend their company. read more

Garrett was early to the appointment which i appreciated very much! He was courteous and friendly. He found our problem right away and was able to fix it and recommend ways we can avoid the problem in the future. I am very happy with the level of service i was provided. Will use this company again for our heating needs. read more

Wanted to post a review to give Deri a huge shout out. We've had him to the house twice. First to troubleshoot our old system and second to fix our new system that we bought from 888 two years ago. He's extremely knowledgeable, professional and makes quick decisions based on his years of experience in HVAC. read more
