Justin and the crew were instrumental in getting our gas powder coat oven back up and running. I called several hvac companies and few were open to work on or had knowledge of gas ovens but Norfolk Air was up to the task.

18:36 03 Dec 24

12/03/24 visit. Jesse stopped by for the winter tune-up. He was on time, nice to talk to and very knowledgeable. Thanks again for great service.8/16/24 visit. Justin stopped by on time to replace a part on our air handler. He was in and out in about 20 minutes. AC is great so far. Thanks again for the good service.Once again, we were sent a very good tech to service our system. He was courteous, timely, and offered advice. Very happy with his effort.

15:33 03 Dec 24

We had the most amazing service with Norfolk Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electrical! Jesse was our technician along with another gentleman whose name I can’t remember. We had no working toilets or plumbing and a bad clog in our pipes that they spent hours clearing on a Sunday evening! They worked late into the night in our crawl space to ensure we had working plumbing that night! This was so important to us as I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and we have a potty training toddler. They worked so efficiently and really cared about making sure the job was done right. They were incredibly respectful of our home and were so polite and professional. I honestly could go on for so long about how amazing they were and how appreciative we are of them! We are so thankful they are the crew that showed up to help us this past weekend!Additional Review:Though Jesse and Darrion did amazing work, we soon discovered that there was a more serious issue with our pipes. Unfortunately, we had a broken sewage pipe under our back deck that also had significant amount of tree roots growing in it. My husband took apart our back deck and dug down to the pipes. Kyle was out a few days later to replace our damaged and compromised section of piping. This has been extremely trying just before the holidays and we are so glad we had such an amazing company come to our rescue! We are thankful for the hard work of all of the technicians and their commitment and hard work in helping to give us functioning plumbing again! Thank you!

NO HEAT FOR 3 DAYS (and counting)!!!!!! I am appaleed at the 5 stars for this scamming company. Do not book with them. Their workers are extremely rude and have attitudes when you ask them to do the work correctly. They will put your home in danger of fires or being without heat due to their purposeful negligence. They are not honest and do not care about their customers. We purchased a new AC system costing thousands of dollars they installed it incorrectly and keep charging us to fix it. We have been without heat now for 3 days! They could care less and they want to charge us anougher 3,000 to fix the boiler. Shameful company. Thank you for causing my family to be without heat in the dead of winter and not caring at all to fix it. We will never book with this sorry scamming company again!

14:35 02 Dec 24

Thomas was polite and very accommodating; he waited for the inspector who was running late and was able to hook up my long-awaited-for gas stove. Thanks so much, Thomas!

13:32 01 Dec 24

Eric did a great job. He was professional and answered questions I had regarding the product he was installing.

13:39 29 Nov 24

We had an awful experience with another plumbing company and was without HOT water for 15days. Eric came and assessed us on a Monday and our new water heater was installed on a Wednesday right before Thanksgiving!He was Friendly knowledgeable and provided us great service.

13:26 29 Nov 24

Great servic, thank you Matt

Had to replace a toilet and Henry and Travis were sent out within three hours of my request for service. Henry and Travis did an excellent job of removing the old toilet and installing the new one. They cleaned up nicely and were friendly. The lady who took my call also was friendly. This is an excellent company I use for plumbing, electrical, gas, heating and air conditioning. UPDATE: I noted a small leak from the tank of the new toilet and emailed Norfolk Air. Henry and Travis responded in less than two hours (on a Saturday!) and tightened the fittings. Can't ask for better service. CONTINUED: I had a leak for a different toilet. At my request on a weekend, Travis called within two hours and came by the same day to repair the leak. Again- excellent service! Added 10/14/19: A new technician performed our regular, twice-a-year service. Emanuel was a pleasant, knowledgeable young man. Besides checking the heating system for the winter, Emanuel cleaned our humidifier, Great job, as usual! Update on 11/11/19: Doing some renovation and had to redirect a gas valve. Henry came out as scheduled and did the job. Very pleasant and professional experience as usual. THIS IS ONE WELL-RUN COMPANY! Update: 9/18/20- Had biannual inspection by Cassidy. Fine young man. Everything is working well- both heating and cooling. This is good insurance to have these inspections. Update August 27th 2022. Jake came out to repair our air conditioner that stopped working. One of the drains had locked up. Very happy with his coming out within an hour and his friendliness and good advice. New service Nov.2022 with clogged sink. John replaced sagging pipes under the house and cleared a mass of built up grease with Marvin's help. Difficult job completed to my satisfaction. New post November 2004. At a plumbing problem and called Norfolk Air, in Jerome came out in 1 hour. Jerome was a fine, pleasant, informative young man and took care of the problem. Thanks again for your good work and having such a good technician. Gary

Michael Le from Norfolk Air did our fall inspection. He was very thorough and explained everything well. I recommend Michael and Norfolk Air for your HVAC needs.

21:23 21 Nov 24

02:02 20 Nov 24

Did a great job. Told us when we should call him to come back and recheck system, that's what you want so you don't have future problems.

22:15 19 Nov 24

I've had a recurring issue with my almost 3 year old hvac, so I decided to call Norfolk Air to verify if faulty electrical in my home was the root of the problem. I also had a surge protector installed. Mr. Barry Haley was very polite, professional, and informative. He answered all of my questions without hesitation. I liked that he explained price options and did not just hand me the most expensive quote. He cleaned up when the work was done. He even gave my needy dog some attention. I have to add that the ladies that I spoke with for appointment scheduling were also very polite and informative. I feel that these employees went above and beyond. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

22:12 19 Nov 24

Great service. Very Professional staff. Called around to find my part and went out to get it and serviced it in day. 10/10 would recommend

Called in for a new HVAC system that was installed in July. First time we turned on the heat, it did not work. Called on Sunday morning at 0800 and a technician was there in less than 2 hours. The thermostat had failed. Although frustrated that our new system did not work- the service for recovery was excellent.

20:49 18 Nov 24

I never give 5 stars but I would give 10 stars to Eric Richardson if I could! Very knowledgeable and professional employee. Thank you again Mark.

20:41 18 Nov 24

Jerome was very welcoming and professional! Would love to have him service us again!

21:31 15 Nov 24

13:06 15 Nov 24

The tech was professional, explained everything and very informative! Great service! Great price. Would use again.

19:28 14 Nov 24

11:43 12 Nov 24

I have used this company before and found their technicians professional and knowledgeable. I will be using them again should the need arise.

22:22 11 Nov 24

They quoted $330 and $770 on top of their $89 service fee to replace a simple thermostat with warn out buttons. They have EXTREMELY inflated prices. AVOID this company!!

14:30 09 Nov 24

Michael texted he was on the way, then called when stuck in traffic. Completed his work, made recommendations and performed as expected from Norfolk Heating and Air. I expect excellence and I am never disappointed.

21:19 08 Nov 24

Wes was here when we pulled in from Maryland this morning we had a faulty outside gfi which he replaced in no time and gave me some good electrical tips also.

His knowledge and professionalism were top notch and really enjoyed talking to him while he was making sure everything was working properly with the fireplace, he also gave me a few good tips about certain things to look for and do. Thanks Damien and company 😎😎

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’ll be using Norfolk Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical from now on.

15:23 31 Oct 24

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.

17:46 18 Oct 24

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.
