HVAC Installation
We install energy-efficient heating and cooling systems tailored to residential and commercial needs. Our solutions include geothermal heat pumps, ductless splits, and hydronic systems. With over 45 years of experience, we ensure optimal comfort and reduced energy costs through precise system sizing and advanced technology.
Duct Cleaning
Our NADCA-certified technicians use HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove contaminants from HVAC systems. This improves indoor air quality, reduces allergens, and enhances system efficiency. Regular cleaning extends equipment lifespan and lowers energy bills by eliminating debris buildup in ductwork.
Plumbing Services
We provide full plumbing solutions for new construction, renovations, and emergency repairs. Our seven full-time plumbers handle kitchen/bath upgrades, pipe installations, and leak detection. Commercial clients benefit from single-source plumbing coordination for large-scale projects.
Metal Fabrication
Our fabrication shop creates custom metal components for HVAC systems and architectural applications. Using precision welding and machining, we produce structural frames, handrails, and specialized parts. This in-house capability ensures seamless integration with installation projects for maximum efficiency.
Air Quality Solutions
We offer UV lights, dehumidifiers, and HEPA filtration systems to optimize indoor air quality. These solutions target mold, allergens, and humidity imbalances, creating healthier environments for homes and offices. Our assessments identify contamination sources for targeted remediation.

Just been charged DOUBLE the number of hours by Chuck's that the two workmen were here. They came twice: less than two hours first day; 4 3/4 hours two weeks later (so approx 13 man hours). Both times we were the problem-solvers with our small job of fitting a new stove top and down-draught vent in our stone countertop, everything was a problem and wouldn't work in their view, at first they tried to fit a huge 12" vent when we could see a 10" vent was the correct size (they did send someone out with the correct sized vent in the end), and when they left we had to call in our own regular carpenters to "tidy up" their work.

Then we get the invoice: we have been charged for 26 1/2 hours work at $90 per hour. Think about it: the equivalent of three days of work to hook up a new stovetop! Daylight robbery and downright fraud. I spoke to the receptionist at Chuck's and left a message for the boss, Jay, today, and am now waiting to find out if this is blatant dishonesty or an honest mistake.

Critical: Responsiveness They were very prompt to come look at our condo and walk through for an estimate, but never returned the estimate to us, leaving us hanging. Bad beginning. We went elsewhere.

Chuck's Heating is absolutely fabulous to work with. I had a custom job where I was replacing my kitchen crown molding with custom metal trims, they can out and measured and then when we needed to make slight adjustments afterwards Gary and Joann were totally accommodating. They take real pride in their work. Thank you!

A crew from Chuck's was here the last five days installing a 2 outdoor unit, 6 indoor unit ductless heat pump system in our home in Williston. Not only was the crew punctual, respectful and professional, they also went the extra mile to work with me to make sure the slimducts outside looked exactly how we had hoped. I work from home so was here for the entire install, but never once felt the need to check up on this crew. I can't recommend this company highly enough if you want a great Mitsubishi mini split heat pump system installed.

Our gas furnace stopped working this winter just before Christmas, so it was emergency. Loved that they showed up in masks and got assurance we would be masked. They analyzed the problem, replaced some parts and cleaned the external outlet pipes. After some basic testing they assured me it worked. By that evening it was not working. Being stuck with no one working Christmas, I googled the type of unit and found some common issues that were easy to repair. I made the fixes myself and it has worked all winter and spring.
