Very thorough! Kyle was informative not only on the service for the water heater but also kind enough to address some other issues we were concerned about. Free estimate👍🏼. Reasonably priced👍🏼. We’ve used numerous other companies since we moved here and finally feel like we’ve found a reliable reasonably priced company. We’ll be using Norfolk Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical from now on.

I previously had a plumber come out and tell me there was a flow restriction in my pipes and would require ripping out walls to find the problem. Jesse came in looked at my water heater and had the issue fixed in less than 5 minutes. Their experience alone makes it worth the investment.

I have a geothermal heating and cooling system and recently had Norfolk Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical address a problem I had with my system plumbing. The crew arrived on time as scheduled, quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem and arranged for repairs. Repairs were done efficiently and effectively and with in the cost quoted. As both my wife and I work, timeliness and accuracy of estimates are both very important to us. Norfolk Air consistently comes through for us! Keep up the great work!

Tony from Norfolk Air Heating and Plumbing installed my Nest Smart Doorbell today. I tried using the company that Nest recommended for the installation. After two failed appointments, I cancelled the service and called Norfolk Air Heating and Plumbing. Tony called and said he would arrive early. He quickly installed the device and helped me program it. He was a pleasure to work with.

Consistently great service, transparent, pricing, and knowledgeable technicians. Damien went out of his way to trouble shoot the issue.

Against my own better judgment- I did the membership with them. I had a bad experience when they serviced my HVAC but out of convenience, kept them.My breaking point was when my water heater broke.They claim to be available 24/7- which is what my membership pays for. But when I called several different phone numbers, their phone system automatically hung up on me.The technician charged me almost double what a normal plumber charges to swap out the thermostats and the heating elements - I was charged $1000.That didn’t fix it.They brought out an electrician who did next to nothing - he also tried to charge me $140 for resetting a circuit breaker. I refused to pay that.After $1000 - now the whole thing needs to be replaced.I talked to a different plumber who’s replacing the entire thing for $1400.Norfolk Heating and Air took advantage of me financially as much as they possibly could. They consistently came outside of their scheduled window and charge significantly more than competitors. Their incompetence was clear when - after installation - the on/off switch was literally off and both the plumber and electrician missed it.I truly cannot believe how much I paid for such a terrible experience.Save your money - find a small business that specializes in one thing rather than a big company that appears to be mediocre in a variety of things.

Justin and his assistant are terrific, I have full confidence in their assessment and getting my HVAC unit on the right track. Justin is extremely knowledgeable and explains what is going on with my units and what in fact needs to be done.

Excellent service from everyone involved. Work on my house turned into an all day job with one issue after another. They made sure everything was perfect before leaving and communicated with me all day about their progress. It's been great working with Darrion and William.

Steven Cusumano

18:45 24 Sep 24

I recently requested an estimate from this company to fix a simple faucet, and I was quoted $600 for just an hour and a half of labor. That’s an outrageous rate of around $400 per hour. When I spoke with the plumbing manager, he told me that he believed this was a fair price, which made it clear to me that they’re inflating their estimates. They use a software to calculate their prices, but it’s clear to me that this is just a tactic to overcharge customers. I don’t recommend this company if you’re looking for reasonable pricing—there are plenty of other plumbers who will do the same work for a fraction of the cost. Save your money and avoid this place!

I had an excellent experience with this company from the very start! When I first called, I spoke with Jaiden, who was incredibly helpful and kind. She was so patient, even with the limited information I had, and managed to get me scheduled without any issues. I needed to provide one more piece of information but didn’t have it at the time, so I asked to call back.When I did, I spoke with Kyra, who was just as kind and professional. I had actually called in a second time before reaching her, and while I was on hold, the call got disconnected. I completely understand how busy they must be, especially with the changing seasons! Despite the hiccup, Kyra apologized sincerely and reassured me that it wasn’t intentional.The customer service here truly stands out. Both Jaiden and Kyra spoke clearly, professionally, and were exceptionally polite. I haven't had the chance to use their technicians yet, as my service call is scheduled for tomorrow, but the front office has set the bar high! Given the number of other 5-star reviews, I have no doubt that the technicians will be just as fantastic. Great company all around! Highly recommend!

From the friendly office dispatchers to the technicians, Norfolk Air staff spread happiness with their helpful solutions and prompt service.Shaun responded to my latest need by letting me know why there is a drain just above my window (for the drain pan overflow on my inside air handler). He cleaned out the clogged pipes (green gunk from humid summer weather) and helped me by letting me know that if I see water in front of my window, I need to call for service without delay. Thank you!

Our technician was Cameron Knowles. He came for a fall check up of our HVAC system. He was very thorough and took his time on each part. He is such a nice young man and was so helpful. Hopefully he can service our unit again! Great job again Norfolk Heating and Air!

Dianne Turner

12:49 15 Sep 24

Kyle and his partner came to address on ongoing issue. They quickly assessed the problem, provided an estimate for repair and scheduled it for the next week. It’s great to get the same plumber each time who understands our system and is familiar with the house. We ask for him and he does an excellent job.

Cassidy and Nicole are our top two favorite employees at Norfolk Air. We have had this company install new ductless mini split systems and also routine maintenance on that system as well over the past roughly 4 years. We always request that Cassidy be assigned to our property for any routine maintenance on our system, as he is extremely professional, approachable, and seems to really care about our client experience. He also makes recommendations based on what he sees and from his professional knowledge. Nicole is a great asset to the company as well, and we request to work with her for all scheduling questions and logistics for their crews. She takes a personal interest in our situations and monitors the progress on their company's end seamlessly, as well as communicates our questions to the appropriate parties and always follows up with us on a timeline that is explicitly stated to us. Thank you, Nicole and Cassidy, for your professionalism and integrity!Updated 9/14/2024: Carl Scales recently installed a new mini split system in our upstairs, and he was amazing! Carl was overly communicative, extremely professional, and overall a great guy to be around. We knew we were in good hands with Carl, and he assured us at every step along the way that the system was being installed properly. Any questions we had he addressed them immediately, and his customer service is 10 out of 10. Carl was aware that we were not pleased (to say the least) with Tyler's customer service during the entire "quote" process for our upstairs system, and Carl made sure to go above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied after having a not-so-great experience with Tyler. Would highly recommend Carl for any installs, he is the best service member for installs that we have had over the past 6 or 7 years. Thank you, Carl!

Painfully Expensive, But Thorough and Fair.I was shocked to find out how expensive what I thought a simple "check-up" would cost, but the technician told me exactly why each item was in question and why it was important to address. I was still nettled by the costs in my situation so customer service called me, listened to my frustration and explained why the costs were what they were. They were understanding of my situation and helped me through it. I don't understand the costs of HVAC repair because it's outside my field, but the prices seem unreasonably high. Nevertheless, I was very grateful for their obvious care and professionalism with me.

I have full confidence in Eric! He quickly grasped the nature of our plumbing problem, and with superb clarity explained our options. It's a sewer leak within the house and he helped us craft a strategy for everything from wall removal for purposes of assessment, likely possibilities for repair to the plumbing, reference for mold/moisture remediation services, and some helpful suggestions to help us get through the whole process. This is THE guy you want for anything bigger than run-of-the-mill issues!

Jocelyn Jara
