Great experience with Sun Glow heating and cooling. Brian the technician did an amazing job on the repair. He went the extra mile to make sure everything is working properly and replaced any equipment that were still under warranty. I highly recommend them.

Technician was friendly, professional and able to explain everything he did and why system wasn't working. It was easy to book an appointment for two days away and Sun Glow provided confirmation and reminders, and texted when the technician was on the way. I would definitely recommend this company.

The service is quite good. Sitting up the appointment was easy. The technician that came to the house to look at the furnace repair was experienced and knowledgeable. The real bummer is the price they wanted to do the repair. I already researched the retail costs of the part that I thought was failing and they wanted an insane number in parts and labor, plus it's $65 fee to go pick up the part, plus the $140 service charge just to come out and look at the damn thing.
It was a ridiculous number. I was able to have the part expedited to my house overnight, and had the heat back on the next day, with a reasonable amount of mechanical aptitude. Saved me what was apparently $800 in labor. They're good and knowledgeable, but insanely pricey.

This company is incredible. My elderly moms heat went out during a cold snap and they were extremely responsive. The follow up and communication was beyond measure from the scheduler to the technician. Incredibly personable, kind and professional! HIGHLY recommend and will NEVER go elsewhere.
