Report
I was called on the morning of the appointment to notify me that they were on their way. The technician arrived shortly thereafter. He asked me the location of my system just to be sure he was heading in the correct direction. He spent a reasonable time checking out in the indoor portion of the system. He installed an air filer that I had on hand. When he completed the indoor system he told me that there were no problems.
He then told me he would perform maintenance on the outdoor portion of the system. When he finished he told me that there were no problems on the outdoors system. He thanked me an was on his way. Although he was young, he was confident and apparently was well trained.

Robert B Payne came out for a quote to move a gas line about 5 feet. The repair man wanted to find out where our gas line was downsized from 1 inch to 1/2 inch and asked to cut a hole in our basement ceiling. Without a lot of background, this is a legitimate question/concern. So what's the problem you say? Never received a quote! Follow up calls just told us how it was going to take multiple full days for a plumber and helper. Definitely making it sound like this was going to be at least 5K+ job although we will never know because we never got a quote (and have to get our bar ceiling repaired).

I've been using RB Payne for more than 30 years, and in that time I've had professional, reliable service from courteous technicians. I like that they are locally owned and that they care about the community. My last maintenance was earlier this week. Technician Louie was knowledgeable, polite, and respectful of me and my home. He explained what was happening with my system and how he would fix it. Technicians like Louie are one of the many reasons I continue to patronize RB Payne.

We have been with Robert B. Payne for over 20 years and will not go anyplace else. They provide yearly maintenance on our furnace and air conditioning units as well as heating oil on a regular basis. Everyone provides great customer service and we have worked with Shane for many, many years. He is a very dedicated employee who insures the customer's needs are meet and always goes the 'extra' mile! Theresa is so pleasant to talk too and always provides excellent customer service when calling into the business. We highly recommend using this business for all your HVAC services.

My husband and I had a new boiler installed in our 1872 home. The old one had been disconnected by the gas company because it was leaking gas and too old to be repaired. Robbie came out to assess the situation and we had a contract emailed later that day. Marsha kept us apprised of the boiler delivery and our scheduled installation. She had warned us that it might take as long as three days to get the system up and running. Ricky and Tommy were our technicians.
They showed up on day one at 7:30 am, and our radiators were working better than they ever have by the following day at 2 pm! Ricky and Tommy were courteous, cheerful, and efficient. They explained everything we needed to know about the system they installed, and they left the basement cleaner than they found it! I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Robert B. Payne.

Start to finish was a great experience. From the first phone call dealing with Marsha on the phone who seemed so concerned for our situation that you could feel the compassion and urgency in her voice. Then, to have the opportunity to have Robbie as our salesman was the perfect example of his title. He brought with him a level of experience and professionalism that are hard to come by today. Finally, Ricky and Tommy were great.
They showed up on time! They had a great attitude the entire time! Explaining the system to me afterwards was a breeze with a knowledgeable and experienced pair of guys. Overall, we were very satisfied working with this entire team from Robert B. Payne.

Great crew and great service. Our business needed a replacement unit and the air blower unit is above ceiling at a tricky location with tight access, sill the crew Wayne and Charles patiently worked around it without any complaints or issues and efficiently completed the work professionally. Greta job all. Would recommend to use them for any residential and commercial work
