Exceed my expectation! Great communication and excellent service with high quality job. Well done! Highly recommend.

As I normally do I looked at Yelp to find a company to inspect & clean our furnace prior to winter (didn't wait till we needed the furnace to set an appointment, contacted them in August). Was pleased with the reviews for this company (have learned with reasonable accuracy to spot flawed or phony reviews) and contacted them. They were EXTREMELY responsive and came out in a couple of days and were easy to deal with from a payment perspective (unlike others who penalize you for using a card). The tech was very respectful of our CoViD rules, seemed to do a good & thorough job, and the price seemed very reasonable given the fact that he was there for several hours. He gave me a comprehensive assessment of our furnace's condition after and answered all questions. I figured we'd use them again for future repairs and annual maintenance. Why not 5 stars? (as with others, wish I could do 3 1/2) One thing I discovered hours after bugged me and my "bug" was confirmed today when we fired up the furnace for the first time this season. A few years ago we had the ducts cleaned which still had construction debris from 2008. That company (not BA NW) did a great job of sealing the hole they have to cut in the outgoing plenum to clean them with a sheet metal patch, foil HVAC adhesive tape, and screws. Nearly air tight. This guy removed the patch to clean and inspect, but used the removed tape to "reseal". It was all wrinkled and bunched up. After a few hours today it separated from the plenum and warm air was spewing into our uninsulated garage. So now I've got to make an unnecessary trip to the hardware store (as a senior at risk) to buy the tape and take the time to remove and replace the tape and screws. Seemed lazy for a guy who didn't seem lazy, but my guess is that his truck was out of the tape. read more

I'm a returning customer and they never failed me!! Did air duct cleaning for my house. John the technician showed up ON TIME(hard to find these days)and completed the work. As soon as I met John, he gave me a good impression and he is a VERY HARD WORKING guy. He went above and beyond and no complaints whatsoever. Thank you for your hard work! John! He deserves EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH! Best read more

I was referred to this great company by "The Duct Cleaners," who had cleaned our air ducts in our new house but were unable to clean our absolutely filthy furnace. Their guy showed up on the dot of 2pm, with their arrival window being 2pm - 4pm. I am a big fan of such punctuality! He was super nice and did an excellent job cleaning our furnace. The rates were reasonable and he got it done quickly. He used several different tools and items in order to do this job. So appreciative of this company! He was also really kind to my cat. I always love when new people in my house take the time and make the effort to be kind to my cat. Very happy with the rate for this service too, I thought it was super reasonable. read more

We use this company for vent cleaning and HVAC maintenance. Couldn't recommend them more! They are super helpful and responsive. Very respectful of your home, take their time and are thorough. Suggest getting a quote at min! Their online tools and payment options are easy to use. I also find their prices fair. You can get a discount if you bundle, so why not! read more

We worked with Better Air NW to replace our 25+ old furnace with a new high efficiency one and add Central AC. Overall we had a great experience working with them. They have access to some of the best brands out there and provided the most competitive pricing. The entire team was so professional, reliable and accommodating. Clear communications and up front with all the facts/details. Our installation was on the difficult side, considering they had to deal with some preexisting complications. But the team handled all of that in the most efficient way while accommodating everything we asked for. They make sure that there is no compromise in terms of conducting a quality work. Can't recommend Better Air NW enough and will definitely hire again for future works. read more

Furnace when out, just 1 day before Thanksgiving. I called around no one was available or were charging extortionate prices for diagnostic. Then by luck I called Better Air NW (after reading the reviews), within a few hours Cory arrived and straight away found the problem. The part was ordered from a supplier in another state. Part arrived I was scheduled 1st appointment of the day! So happy with the service! Thank you to the whole TEAM at Better Air NW. read more

We needed our heat pump and gas furnace serviced and had the best experience with Better Air NW! Audrey was courteous, knowledgeable and super helpful. The scheduler communicated our service time window, were prompt and super easy to schedule with. We did have to wait a few weeks to get our appt time, but it was well worth the wait, for such great service. read more

Absolutely awesome experience. Logan and his team Dennis and Drew were able to confirm my needs over email and install my new recessed lighting, beautifully, in a very timely manner. They were especially clean, knowledgeable and professional. I couldn't be happier with their service. I highly recommend them and will definitely seek them out for my future needs. read more

Emailed them along with 3 other Yelp-recommended companies to install AC and replace furnace. Everyone was very booked up due to the crazy hot weather this year so I figured it would be months before the work would be done. They were about a month out for appointments. Matthew came out as promised and did a thorough walk-through. The work started a couple weeks later and took 2 days to install the AC unit outdoors, the new furnace and the new return duct on the upper floor. They came out again a week later to thoroughly clean the old ductwork. My original furnace was 37 years old so going from that to this new system was a serious upgrade. And now I also have excellent filtration and cooling too. The process was darn expensive, but not any more than the other bids. And I feel like with all the work and new equipment it was worth the cost. This was my first experience with upgrading HVAC and I'm happy it went so well. I think if you can budget the time frame, this is the place to go. My highest recommendation is given to Matthew and the rest of the crew. read more

I'm writing this review to acknowledge what Better Air NW did NOT do, which is take my money unnecessarily. We scheduled an air duct cleaning service with Better Air NW and when Reymond showed up at our scheduled time he informed me that we really didn't need the service, and that he wouldn't feel right taking our money. I'd hope that any business would have this mindset, but I can confirm that Better Air NW does and it's a credit to them. Naturally, we'll think of Better Air for our future needs. read more

This business wasted my time for months, yes MONTHS. I contacted them back in March about getting an appointment to fix a Daikin heat pump. I took pictures of the model number and read them to them over the phone and verified they serviced them, because I had had trouble finding people who serviced that brand. I know I did this because I went back through my phone and found my notes and photos from the time after my final call with the company left me wondering what I had communicated. They had scheduled an appointment with me back in March only to have the technician contact me at the last minute to tell me they couldn't service my unit until the temperature was 70 degrees or higher due to the need to have the heat pump test its cooling feature. That seemed reasonable and due to the problem of predicting the weather I decided to wait. I waited over a month and based on historical averages of temperature data going back years I tried scheduling another appointment for later in the Spring/early summer. Finally when the weather was definitely above 70 I tried calling and was told that I could not be scheduled because they were "working through their backlog." Um, hello? I WAS PART OF YOUR BACKLOG! Finally after several more calls and back-and-forths across several weeks I got a hold of someone who then told me they don't service my Daikin heat pump because they don't service those products. The lady I spoke with seemed friendly and because she took a few minutes to find Daikin contractors on the internet I am giving 2 stars, it was going to be 1 star. I didn't see anything on their "claimed" yelp page about not servicing Daikin. The lady I spoke with also admitted to me that even if I hadn't told them the brand and model info (which I obviously had), they should have asked for/verified it anyway, so either way they would have been at fault. There was no offer for a discount or anything to make this right, they did ask vaguely if there was "anything else they could help with" but I am not going to beg for recompense for all the trouble they put me through. Clearly they think this is an acceptable way to do business. If you do decide to use these people, make sure you send them all your device info including brand and model number and get them to PROMISE IN WRITING that they will service your equipment, otherwise you might wind up wasting your time and get stuck in a heat wave or cold snap with no help. read more

Superior Service from beginning to end. Scheduled a tune up before the winter, choose Better Air NW because of great reviews. They lived up to their 5 stars. The scheduling process (scheduled online) was prompt, courteous, professional, and I received excellent communication with office pre and post appointment. I received a text from Mac H when he was on his way. Mac was fabulous! Courteous, honest, professional, and knowledgeable with my older furnace. Mac even followed up with me later on information I had asked for in regarding to upgrading my thermostat. I 100% recommend Better Air NW for furnace maintenance. read more

We initially called Better Air NW because there was something clearly wrong with our furnace. Someone came out right away and gave us an option to repair or get a new furnace. Since our furnace was near the end of its life, we opted for a new one. The installation was seamless and later in the week we had our ducts cleaned free of charged. Overall Better Air NW provided great service and was extremely responsive. read more

They answered the phone! Not a machine. They came when they said they would (and not a long wait out). The tech was very nice and professional. Explained things to me and got the job done within 30 minutes. They charged me what they said they would. All good. read more

Better Air has been doing service work for us for 8 years and have always been knowledgeable, clean working, and ALWAYS asks if we have any other questions or issues. They are FIVE star in our book. read more

Better Air NW has an impressive website with high-tech scheduling tool to book an appointment, but none of that's any good unless the tech shows up on time. I booked an appointment for a heating system checkup and reserved a two hour window. On the day of the appointment, 30 minutes past the window, no show, no communication. I called the main dispatch number and confirmed that the appointment was in their system. Dispatcher promised to look into it, called me later to tell me that the tech had injured his hand during an earlier appointment, and all appoints for the rest of the day had to be cancelled. It would have been nice for them to contact me earlier to let me know that, but whatever... I was offered another appointment the next day which I took. You can guess what happened. Next day, no show, no communication whatsoever 30 minutes past the window. Called dispatch, who told me that the tech was running late, but I would be next in line although she couldn't give me an ETA. At that point I cancelled the appointment and went with another company (I had prior arrangements and couldn't be home way past the window). If I can't count on a company to show up during the specified window, or at minimum communicate to me that they're going to be running late, I'm not sure I can trust them to do the job right. Based on the number of positive reviews perhaps I got really unlucky with back-to-back no shows. UPDATE: Just got a call from Better Air NW apologizing for the bad experience and the caller even offered to come out for free to make things right. I do appreciate the gesture but since I booked with another company already I declined the offer. Updating the rating to 4-star to give credit for excellent follow-up. read more

Calling repair companies can be a hassle. You don't know what you're going to get and you worry that you'll be "taken advantage of" by folks trying to pad their pockets. Well no fear with Better Air. They do good, honest work and only do what's necessary. Justin cleaned and inspected our decades-old furnace and didn't try to scare us in to replacing it, as some other companies have done. He found one part that could used replacement, but even for that he said it wasn't urgent. We opted to replace the part to avoid a future issue, but it was nice to have no pressure. Keep it up guys! read more

Would recommend. Technicians knew their stuff, answering questions before service began and throughout.

It's nice to find a company that I feel can be trusted to repair and service my heating and cooling! Patrick is very efficient and helpful. They are so quick to respond. I definitely recommend this company! read more

Kevin Ives here, with Forecast Solar. As a sales rep for a solar installer, I run across a lot of clients who want to change out their costly propane bills with a heat pump. And thus take control of their energy costs. Recently I had a client in the Great Falls area who wanted to do just that. After searching several vendors to aid our client, I discovered Better Air NW. WOW! What a difference in customer service and reliability, compared to the other companies I reached out to. Miranda answered all my questions. Followed up with our now mutual customer. Got them installed within just a few days of making the initial contact. All at a fair price! Thank you Miranda and Justin. Please reach out to me anytime and I will be happy to give Better Air NW a personal reference. They truly are the pinnacle in HVAC. read more

We contracted Better Air NW to install a new furnace in our place. After reading endless reviews, and getting a quote from another vendor (which was a good amount higher), we went with Better Air NW and were happy with our choice. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and the entire crew was very professional, helpful, and always on time. After the installation, we heard some strange rumbling noises; we contacted Better Air NW and they sent Audrey right away to fix the problem. They are very customer-oriented and great at their jobs! We would definitely recommend Better Air NW, and plan to use them for future furnace maintenance. read more

After my initial complaint on yelp. Both Matthew and Justin reached out to me and I really appreciate their humbleness and willingness to make sure my problem was taken care off. Matthew came to redo the cleaning and Justin issued a full refund. I am grateful of their customer focused mind and urges to make things right. read more

I contacted Better Air NW for dryer vent cleaning and couldn't be more pleased. The service was scheduled promptly. The technician was pleasant and explained exactly what he was doing and got the job quickly at a reasonable price. I plan to use Better Air NW annually going forward. read more

Two other companys' techs were not able to find the root cause of why our heat pump kept shorting out. Patrick immediately suspected the actual problem, found the actual problem, and then fixed it. All very quickly and efficiently. Better Air NW is my HVAC company from now on! read more

We just moved into our home a year ago and have been meaning to swap our our oil furnace and upgrade our water heater. We called BetterAirNW for a quote and the first time Matt came out, we knew these guys would be the vendor we went with. Their prices are competitive, but the real silver lining here is their entire team provides white glove service throughout the whole process. You can tell customer service and satisfaction is a top priority. The team always arrived on time and their communication around what is being done and why its being done is amazing. Matt was phenomenal in managing the project and we appreciated how responsive and patient he was with all our questions. Jake was the lead tech that drove the installation and was super professional and helpful in explaining the nuances of the install and functionality of the unit. Huge thanks to the whole team - Matt, Meranda, Jake, Kevin, Gunthry, and Alex. We're super happy with the install and service. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to get work done. read more

I have been so impressed by their service. So I decided to take a time to write a review. I have had them install a brand new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner in April 2021. Matt, the sales person, was really friendly and kind from the beginning to the end. He even went into the crawl space to fix some ductwork for us for free of charge. The furnace has been running great for 1.5 years. But in Nov 2022, the electric water pump broke and the water was leaking in my garage. I called the office and they sent us two technicians to replace the pump for free of charge within a few days. A month later, today, I found the water in my garage again because that the same pump broke again. We called the office at 11:30am and they sent the same technician, Audrey, literally within 30min. The problem was fixed by 1pm! They even installed a new GFCI outlet for us for further protection. All for free of charge. Throughout all the communications, all the people we spoke were very professional and they treated us with courtesy and kindness. This kind of electrical problem could happen to anyone anytime. The super high quality service that Better Air people provide you is truly amazing. We are so happy that we bought it from them! read more

I just installed a new furnace from these guys. I had to schedule the estimate 3 months before the appointment, but it was well worth the wait. Matthew the estimator was very kind and explained the process pretty well, and the folks that came here to install the furnace next day were also super nice. I used to have a super old furnace, so this was a good replacement both functionally and aesthetically. read more

See all

Matthew was the representative sent from Better Air to assess our home for central AC. The first company, a competitor insisted they were not able to install central AC as our furnace and surrounding area weren't configured with enough space, they suggested transfer stations as a alternate. We did not want that option for many reasons. Matthew measured and spent the time to figure out how to give us central AC, he was reassuring and knowledgeable. Within a day he emailed 3 different price options for us to choose from, all reasonable and very detailed. We decided on the system that worked well for our budget. Matthew said he would contact us to let us know when the equipment was available and then to schedule the installation. Our wait for the equipment didn't take long, Matthew had a cancellation and called to let us know we would have the entire job complete in one day. The workers were professional and on time, as promised our AC was installed and completed in one day. Matthew touched base with us when the job was complete and made sure we were satisfied with the service. Matthew's customer service skills are phenomenal, Better Air is lucky to have him as their employee! Because of our positive, professional service I highly recommend Better Air and most especially Matthew! read more

For those looking to have a furnace, ac, or heat-pump serviced, make Better Air NW your first call. Their online service request was simple, followed up promptly with a friendly call from the office team to ask some preliminary questions for the technicians (basic stuff about the furnace model, year, so have those handy if you book away from home), and offered a closer appointment (even on Friday afternoon)!!   Day before and of the appointment, I received email alerts reminding me about the appointment time, then I got this text about 30-45 minutes before, notifying me that the team was on their way, and trackable via a link in the text. Hold up...I can track the team's drive so I know exactly when to be home and ready? That's 10000% better than the other guys and the typical "Yup, appointment from 2-4, see you then."   The technicians were friendly, polite, clean (wore masks and shoe covers), and diligent chasing down all sorts of complications (closed vents, poor air flow, overheating furnace, possible damage, checking pressures, gas flow, filter quality, mending what I would guess was sloppy contractor work), even staying late (never felt rushed, but I'd guess the typical work time ran well over) to get the WHOLE job done and I never heard a single frustration.   What else can I say, except whoever does your hiring, employee retention, and technology are all winners. Keep up the great vibes and I'll be calling in the future for our heating/cooling needs.   Cheers and thank you! read more

The team at Better Air NW were great to work with. They were able to get a technician here very quickly. The problem was diagnosed and resolved very fast. Cory did a great job explaining what the problem was, how he would resolve it and also recommended an additional piece of equipment to optimize our heat pump based on weather conditions. I would highly recommend Better Air NW! read more

Matt came out and performed regular maintenance on my furnace. He was on-time, communicated clearly about what he'd be working on. He communicated the service notes before leaving and testing for CO2. Scheduling online was very easy with an automatically generated calendar appointment and reminders (love it!). Payment was contactless (which was appreciated) and via a clear email with payment. Appreciate the frictionless online process! read more

I got my furnace from them, and have it serviced by them every year. I also recently got a water heater from them, which they don't really advertise -- but I asked because I liked the work they did on the furnace. And they gave me a super reasonable quote and did a fine job installing. I had to follow up since a couple of small details weren't exactly correct but they sent someone back right away to correct everything. It'd be unreasonable for these guys to do everything perfectly every time. I keep going back to them because I know they care about being fair, respectful, and making things right even if it takes time and effort. read more

I had a new forced air gas furnace installed by Guthrie and Alex on January 18th and they did a fabulous job! The bid process was fast and easy and installation was scheduled two days later. Good communication from start to finish. read more

During a freezing stretch in Seattle, my furnace died. Better Air NW provided me with both repair and replacement options reasonably priced. The owner reached out to accelerate the replacement timeline to get the furnace installed within 48 hours, ensuring the health and safety of my family during cold weather. Guthrie and Alex installed the system quickly, and also provided updates such as GFI outlets that improved the efficiency and safety of the whole system, above and beyond the original scoped work. Good value and service. read more

I'm updating my original review from 1 stars to 4 stars. After the initial experience, the owner called me and apologized because of the issue and explained how the scheduling issue had happened. He offered for the tech to come by right then or any other time. I appreciated that. The main reason I'm giving this review 4 stars instead of 5 is that after the flex duct was installed the installer didn't hide the exposed insulation around the duct which I had to deal with (I'm still not sure if I did it correctly). read more

I called Better Air NW for routine maintenance on my gas furnace. The tech that showed up was thorough and courteous. She spent just under an hour and explained her findings. I appreciated that she did not try to sell me on any maintenance contracts. She just told me that I have a good furnace that should last for many more years. They charged just under $250.00 with tax for the visit, they charge a credit card fee of 3% so you may want to pay by check if you want to avoid that fee. I would use them again for future service on my furnace. read more

Justin the owner followed up to check on the system no additional charge. System is running fine now after a refill and diagnostic. Unsure if the system will have future issues/leaks, but that's how it goes. read more

Our third time working with Better Air NW. Jake and Kevin installed came out and installed a new high efficiency furnace for us. They both gave their 1000% best to our project. The result of their work was impeccable. They were also extremely friendly, patient, and efficient. They finished the installation ahead of schedule. They left everything clean and organized. Sales (Matthew) and Admin (Meranda) consistently provided great communication through out the project. We had very positive experiences with all the teams we worked with at Better Air NW. Wonderful to have such a quality local company to handle heating and air conditioning. read more

It has been a really long time since my air ducts were cleaned. Better AirNW with Matthew and Avi was great. I had a time constraint and they were efficient and professional and friendly and did a great job, thank you! Also, recently, I was out of town and had someone staying at my house when the thermostat quit. they quickly found a way to come and install a new one so there was barely a break in heating my house. read more
