After getting estimates from 4 HVAC contractors, I went with HVAC Performance by W&A to change over…read morethe gas forced-air HVAC in a 101-year-old home I purchased, to all heat pump. Mr. Marroquin's price was extremely competitive; he seemed to know a great deal about systems and equipment, and I really liked his "all in" pricing because the electrician work came bundled into the price. (Drywall repair was NOT included - but that turned out to be okay because I'm having solar panels put in later and that site survey crew was thrilled about pre-cut holes, LOL!) This was a BIG project; removal of a gas furnace and replacing it with 7 indoor air handlers and 3 outdoor compressors. The entire project took about one month to complete - almost exactly what had been predicted. Even before he could get started on the new project, the existing "whole house" heat pump system that serviced the upstairs of the 3,100 sq. ft. house broke down on a 95-degree day in D.C. Mr. Marroquin came out and worked all day on a Sunday to get it going, as the upstairs system would be the only AC for the house for the month it would take to change over to the new system that would service the main floor and lower level. He rejuvenated the existing system and gave it a comprehensive servicing for a very good price. We had to store equipment on site for a bit, but I liked that Mr. Marroquin wanted ALL of the equipment in hand before he started the project so we wouldn't be left hanging by supply chain issues. For the new install project Mr. Marroquin stayed in constant contact so I could trust he and his crew would be there on the days he'd said they would, or else he would let me know promptly of changes in schedule. I was on work assignment on the opposite coast, so he, I and my house sitter were able to work out a good system for giving him access to the house via a key box and us remotely resetting the alarm at the end of each workday. Mr. Marroquin was extremely conscientious about securing the house and texting me until I confirmed the alarm was reset. He tented EVERYTHING with plastic and put down tarp to protect the wood flooring (there were appreciative messages hand written on the tarp thanking me for my business!) Even as the owner of the company, he was pretty much the last person to leave the job site every day, taking time to sweep and even wet-clean some areas. Because of the configuration, there needed to be conduit cover for lines on the front of the house. I was very concerned about these being too noticeable and detracting from my curb appeal. Mr. Marroquin took great care to obtain paintable line-set conduit for these and he color-matched and painted them PERFECTLY to blend in with the color of the stucco. He was also responsive to my concerns about condensate from the outdoor compressors draining too close to the home's foundation and on my rear deck. He was creative, coming up with inconspicuous clear tubing and PVC piping systems to drain the water away. When the job was done he brought HIS MOTHER to the house to help with the final cleaning - so impressive! As you can tell, I'm very pleased with HVAC Performance and Wilson Marroquin. The only areas where the service could have been a bit better were around "paperwork" issues. Like most contractors who work from sun up to sundown, paperwork is often the last thing they get to. I never did get a fully completed contract before the work started, and I had to make a pest of myself to get the final invoice with cost breakouts so that I could claim my rebates and energy credits on my taxes. Also, Mr. Marroquin was very enthusiastic about Daikin brand - and the units ARE very quiet from what I'm used to and the price was good. But the plastic housing of the air handlers was apparently extremely delicate and the crew cracked the condensate pump access slots on every single unit! Mr. Marroquin and I had to have several talks about how to conceal this. Hooray for white duct tape - not ideal, but not a huge eyesore either.

I had the misfortune of having my AC go out during one of the hottest weeks of the summer. Yelp reviews led me to contact C&V Services. Carlos (owner) was very responsive. He came out and quickly diagnosed the issue as low refrigerant. Afterwards, he assessed the rest of my unit and made suggestions to keep it running more efficiently. He also explained what repairs I made need in the near future. At no point did I feel pressured into repairs that I didn't need. You can tell Carlos and his team value honesty, clear communication, and quality workmanship. I absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking and I plan to contact them should I need any services in the future (*knock on wood, of course!)

Carlos was respectful and knowledgeable and tried his best to explain what he was doing and why to try and fix my problem. Carlos correctly diagnosed and fixed my issue. I'm a loyalist, treat me right and you have my business. I will definitely be using them for my HVAC needs.

Jake was our plumbing technician and he did a thorough job replacing copper pipes with color-coordinated tubing in the upstairs bathroom. Installed new shut-off valves to the vanity, toilet and tub faucets and even vacuumed before he left. We had a water pressure problem after he left, and Jimmy Gusky had another tech at the house the next day to resolve it - the solution was really simple and had to do with sediment settlement near a valve when the water main was off for repairs. It was a bit embarrassing, frankly, to have a plumber open the valve when we could have done so ourselves to clear the sediment and restore water pressure. Both plumbers were great about explaining their work and the rationale behind it while they were in our home. I recommend this company for the thorough repairs and friendliness, professionalism of their techs.

This is my second time using BlueStar and I have nothing but amazing things to say about them. The…read morefirst time they fixed my furnace which had build up on a sensor which was an easy fix. John came out and was very straight forward and up front with everything he did. He explained the issue to me, how he would fix it, and even provided some recommendations I may want to do in the future. My second time I used Bluestar was on a Sunday and they are closed on Sunday's. I did not realize this at first and left them a voicemail in the morning. Realizing they were closed I called another company who would have charged me more than Bluestar to come out later that afternoon to look at the problem which was that my Nest Thermostat was giving an E73 error code meaning it was not getting power. To my surprise I received a call from John at Bluestar that afternoon prior to the other HVAC company coming out. I discussed my thermostat issue not getting power with John and he suggested several troubleshooting fixes I could try over the phone. After eliminating several causes of what the problem may be John suggested holding down the front panel cover switch to the unit to see if a power light was coming on. In doing this I noticed sometimes the light would come on and sometimes it would not. There seemed to be a loose connection in the a wire that was causing the switch not to supply power. After playing with the switch for a few minutes I got the power to stay on and the problem was fixed. John solved my problem and saved me a good deal of money as I canceled my appointment with the other HVAC company. John took over 20 minutes talking to me on the phone going above an beyond to help me solve my AC issue on the day the company is closed. I would highly recommend BluStar to anyone and will use them for all my future HVAC needs.

A request this winter for routine furnace check up couldn't be scheduled until four weeks later. At that time also asked for an estimate for furnace replacement for which a tech was available the same day. Tech promised to send us a quote that night - the quote never arrived despite multiple requests. The tech who came out for the routine check up verified our observation that the control panel of the humidifier was not working and promised to send us a quote for replacement. Guess what - quote never arrived. We paid $205 + credit card fees for the visit but never received a statement of work or even a receipt. On the plus side the techs come out at the scheduled time, seem knowledgeable, and behave professionally. Too bad they don't have time to send out promised quotes!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Julian at Nero Heating and Air Conditioning gave us one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Before we signed the contract and paid for our new furnace in 2022, he was responsive, attentive, and gave every impression that he cared about earning our business. The moment the payment cleared, it felt like we no longer mattered. Messages went unanswered, conversations became cold and dismissive. 4 years later in 2026, when we called about an issue with blower he had installed, I expected at least a genuine attempt to help. Instead, he arrived with an attitude, spent very little time looking at the system, offered no meaningful diagnosis, fixed nothing, and left. We ended up hiring another HVAC company that quickly found and resolved the problem. Then came the final insult: despite providing no solution and no value, he still wanted to charge us a $75 service fee. We will never use this company again even though they are supposed to provide service under warranty for 10 years, and I would absolutely not recommend them to anyone looking for an HVAC contractor they can rely on after the check has been cashed.
