Reviews

I love this company. I've used them when our original company couldn't figure out the problem, kept "fixing" different parts but nothing getting fixed. JA came in and fixed it on the first visit. This time they cleaned the tankless hot water heater and changed the filter. They have great prices, professional, they let you know who is coming and when, and they are honest. Highly recommend.

I am so happy to have found J A Bertsch they are a top notch HVAC company and I was lucky enough to get Eric as my service guy. He’s very knowledgeable, polite and responsive! He’s the da Vinci of plumbing. I hope others see this post and make them your go to HVAC service. Great job and keep it going Eric!

Eric H. was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer any of our questions and concerns and give suggestions that worked with our budget. He was very comfortable to be around and very respectful of us and our home. Our service from JABertsch has always been a great experience!

Brian R. was awesome! Very patient and explained things thoroughly and not in a hurried manner. Great person and hope we are fortunate enough to get him again on next visit.

Eric showed up on time and did a terrific job tuning up our furnace, A/C, and fireplace. He seemed to really know what he was doing, especially knowledgeable about our gas fireplace. He was courteous and shared with us in ways we could understand. He really left us feeling safe and secure with our appliances.
