personality. Went above and beyond to help us purchase a generator and with the financing of it. Recommend him and Central heating highly😊
My furnace wasn't putting out heat so I called at 7:30am and Josh and Lee were here in an hour. That's why I always call Central!

The Central back office team also did an amazing job scheduling, communicating and notifying us of what and when to expect services to be performed. I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to move my job up on the schedule by a week+ due to a cancellation.
I have been a customer of Central for several years and they have routinely been reliable and reasonably priced for the high level of service they provide. I recommend them highly if you want the job done right the first time.

These photos are of the shower they installed in my house and this is probably the single worst “professional” job I have ever seen done.
Very sloppy caulking, pics are taken AFTER they came to fix their first caulk job which failed after a few weeks and is already failing again just a few weeks after coming to “fix” it.
Large gaps between the drywall they cut and the edge of the shower they installed. Nothing is plumb or square.
They installed one of the walls in the wrong place, reinstalled it and did a terrible job of patching the holes.
Honestly, a total hack job and I am not pleased with the finished product.
That being said, their customer service is good and they are pretty timely with communication in my experience.
I know it’s hard to find good employees these days. I am writing this review so that the company can see what kind of work their plumbers are doing. Hopefully they invest some time training these guys better so that their future customers don’t experience what I have experienced with using this company for their plumbing services.

Adam was the representative that came out. It was a really good experience having him look at all our house systems and explain everything so well. Top notch. Decided to go with Central to install central air conditioning.
-The Gaedckes

Great guys, very good, experienced techs. They can work on my house anytime I need work done in the future. The install was done beautifully and the 45,000 btu ceiling mounted heater warms my 2 1/2 car, insulated garage quickly.
Having a dedicated, thermostatically controlled heater is going to make working in the garage very nice in the winter.
Thank you, Central Heat for such nice work!

Richie and Vander came to the house and repaired the problem with the furnace.
Richie and Vander were also very friendly and did a great job on the repair! Central is a great company with great employees! I have recommended them to friends. Thank you.
Thank you!
More recently, been waiting months for a repair. Called to ask ETA and they say they will call back but like before they never do. Even when I reach out, they tell me they will call with an update.... nothing still. DO NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY here.
I've had Central to my property three times over the past 5 years and they have always been very knowledgeable, efficient, and answer all of my questions. This time the technician, Trystin, in addition to quickly replacing a faulty part on my furnace also found that the appliance had been wired incorrectly when it was originally installed 20 years ago (and no, they didn't do the install.) After a few changes, all of the elements are working now and the air coming out of the registers is 15 degrees warmer. The furnace doesn't run nearly as long as it used to so the savings on my electric bill will pay for the work done by the end of winter.
The point of this story is that they don't just change parts or try to sell you unnecessary components/service....they really know how to do things right.
I wouldn't hesitate to call them again.
Always calls is there is an issue and sincerely cares about our house!

He’s fantastic!
Been using them for years & would never go anywhere else.

Diagnosed and fixed problem efficiently. Very well done.! I would definitely use them again.!
Thank you.
We are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Lee and the entire staff at CHC. It is comforting to know that we will receive excellent service and appreciate the pre-notification of the member that will be making our service call.
Happy summer to you all!!!!

Once again, Central never lets us down. Efficient, pleasant and great customer service. Trystin is a great service tech. Very thorough and explains all working components. We've been with Central for 11 years now and highly recommend them!!

He went above beyond that By rejuvenating all the Wiring in both electrical boxes. Not only was the 30 amp breaker for the dryer burnt up. We also had many other loose wires which he tighten down.
We really feel much better about our electrical panels for our house now… It could’ve been a real problem.
Connor was very knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend him for any of your electrical needs.
We had Conner back to install a whole home surge protector. Again, he did a great job explaining exactly what he did. Always courteous & respectful.

Impressed to his attention to details and knowledge.

We are always happy with this company's service.
In parts and labor!! Brought a cover box with them so the pipe is now well protected.
They THINK BEFORE they come and have the parts needed. Very nice, personable, let you know they are on their way. Experience counts when it comes to plumbing and heating!
I’ll use them again for sure. !👍👍


We are very happy with the work he did!
Appreciate his work and as always, I am a satisfied customer.
Newest team member Richie did a phenomenal job for me wiring in the electrical for a new hot tub. He’s top notch.
It started a few weeks prior with Conner’s expert and confident analysis and bid on the first visit, closed out with Richie’s calm and professional installation even when a few curve balls came up.
I’ve used them for anything major and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend.
Lee did a terrific Job upgrading my thermostat along with the scheduled furnace maintenance. He is knowledgeable and efficient.
Also, Steve was a great resource analyzing our home, providing valuable information on the different options when it comes time to replace our furnace and AC.
new Generac generator besides the exceptional reputation of CENTRAL. This company is our go to source for their expertise in multiple trades.
Due to the outstanding presentation by Joel Z. above we had our Generac generator installed today. Connor was lead technician along with Zack and Vander which was on time and worked in a professional manner keeping us informed throughout the installation process. Great crew but we also want to acknowledge the management and ownership of CENTRAL. From our initial experience to our installation today...if you total both reviews CENTRAL is a 10 star company.
Today, January 8 2025, I had a repair completed by Connor of CENTRAL. Please consider this company as an exceptional source for all the trades they perform. Excellent office staff, field technicians as well as management/ownership. You'll never be disappointed...ever!
We have been customers of CENTRAL over 20 years, they are the ones to call when you need heating, cooling, plumbing & electrical experts!
