My AC unit completely stopped working last night and I called the owner, Tom, at 8pm and he…read moreactually answered. He was able to come out the very next day and fix the problem. What really stood out was how detailed and honest Tom was about the work. He explained everything clearly, didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made sure I understood exactly what was done. I believe Tom is the kind of person you can genuinely trust. I'll definitely be reaching out to him for any future HVAC needs. If you're looking for someone reliable who actually cares about doing the job right, call this company!

Very rarely do you get support from an HVAC company that results in looking forward to potential…read morefuture projects, but Tom (owner of Universal) did just that and provided amazing service today. I own lots of properties and have had my share of hvac issues as an owner and landlord. Tom came to my house, went above and beyond checking everything on both of my systems (when he didn't need to), diagnosed the issue with my upstairs system, actually fixed things fully right then and there, and then charged me a very reasonable service cost. If you have any HVAC issues in Philly and don't want to be ripped off or misled, you should call Tom!

My girlfriend's heater stopped working, so she called this company. They told her the required…read moreparts were "rare" and recommended replacing the entire system for $8,000+, citing the age of the unit. When she declined, they suddenly "found" the part and quoted $1,800, then took a deposit. A quick search showed the OEM part is widely available for around $150, and the job typically takes 1-2 hours. Charging $1,800 for that kind of work is hard to justify. To their credit, when I called and requested a refund of the deposit, they returned it without issue (hence the 2 stars). That said, the initial sales approach was misleading and predatory. For context, another company has since quoted $460 for the same repair.

Very responsive service and "diagnosed" a defective blower motor that was "one of the most…read moreexpensive motors I've seen" and "don't know if I can get one" immediately went into "upsell a new furnace mode" and was assured it was a "competitive price" Big mistake should have immediately called two other companies for quote. Installation was flawless, but the price was exorbitant at $8300. $6-6500 would have been a fair price for a $3400 heater marked up 1.5X and a 6-8 hours of labor at more than $200/hr labor. Met with owner and he justified the price mostly due to "knowing his costs", generous salaries for his employees, enormous overhead, advertising and a "small profit margin" Lesson learned. When the technician goes into upsell mode and tells you they are offering a competitive price, don't believe them. Get three quotes. Also, they remove any negative reviews and want you to not post anything detrimental on social media.

Sold us on a family company. Showed up day of install with larger unit, placed outside unit…read moredirectly next to back door. Which my husband did not want, Anthony wouldn't move it. Was in a "got your money let's get this done quick job" kinda mood. Didn't connect part of unit (return) had to come back and take apart fix only bc we noticed. Placed larger unit that we did not pick so close to powder room door you can only open door half way to get it, he did not care. If we got the unit that we agreed on it wouldn't be so giant in the space. Thermostat has been wacky since February. He told us needs to be replaced. Texted Anthony every week for over a month no response. We've been ghosted. Horrible experience basically our warranty is void bc we can't even get an answer from them. 1000% would not recommend.

When I explained the issue to Harry, imagine it coming from non-technical guy which he listened so patiently and after understanding, he explained the resolution in a very calm way. I hired Harry immediately for the job. He was punctual and arrived on time. Did a very clean job, his charged was very economical.

Cook's Heating and Cooling - exceptional service from a dynamic duo…read more There is something special about a family-run operation where the knowledge is passed down and the reputation really matters. It's clear the son is learning from the best, and the father has a wealth of experience that is hard to find these days. I recently had a new AO Smith water heater installed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This father-son team is the real deal. From the moment they arrived, it was clear they take immense pride in their work. They were punctual, protected my floors, and took the time to explain the features of the AO Smith unit. They were polite, fair on price, and clearly know their stuff. The installation itself is incredibly clean--the piping is level, the solder joints are perfect, and they left the utility room cleaner than they found it. If you want the job done right the first time, hire these men.

It was nothing but God that sent me in my basement to see my boiler was flaming from underneath…read more Usually there's a glow but this was different the flames were coming outside of the boiler, the parts and chute was covered in soot. I immediately called the gas company and they came and shut off the gas line. It's the dead of the winter and now I have no heat. I didn't know where to begin. I checked the internet but nothing jumped out at me. I went on yelp and began reading reviews and I ran across Lawrence heating & air. I called spoke to a woman who was very pleasant and told me a tech could come out to assess the boiler to see if it was still usable. Joe came and he looked at it and said it it's a hazard. With all the rust and corrosion and not to mention whatever was on fire. He said it needed replacing. He talked to me about the options and stated I would get an email from the owner of my options. 30 mins later the email was there and everything was included. All the info I needed to know about the unit, specs, warranty, parts/tubing for replacement, price. It was a proposal. I reached out to Lawrence with my questions and he answered right away. I also stated my elderly dad lives with me and elderly need service as soon as possible. That was no problem. He sent me payment options as well. Once I accepted the proposal and date was locked in and they techs came the next day on time. Randy showed up first, then Joe & Chaly. They immediately put down floor draping and loaded all of the supplies , pipes , boiler, etc. They opened all the radiators starting at the top. All of them were pleasant and very Knowledgeable about their job. Any questions I asked Randy explained. They cleaned up behind themselves and made sure everything was put back in place. Once they were done Randy told me about my new unit and what was removed and put in. This company made the entire stressful event so much more easier, like a weight had been lifted. My house is warm and cozy thanks to everyone involved .. Great teamwork ! I would definitely recommend !!! Thank you so much to everyone that played a part in getting me back up in running !!

That really stood out. When it turned out a visit was needed, they scheduled me for the very next day and even arrived earlier than expected (after calling to confirm it was okay). Once on site, they diagnosed the problem immediately, showed me exactly what was wrong, and explained everything in clear, simple terms including pricing. The repair was done quickly, and they made sure the system was running perfectly before leaving. Clear, professional, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommend Dean's Services!
