Our A/C was blowing hot air. I called 3 companies. 3rd time a charm! Midwest could come out in hours to repair our A/C. The technician identified the failure, repaired it and cleaned the outside unit. This morning our home is cool and comfortable. Service: A/C system repair

Report
We purchased a new furnace/AC and water heater from Midwest. They hauled away all the old equipment, intalled the new equipment and left our basement cleaner than it was before. They were competent, knowledgeable and professional. We would recommend them to anyone. In fact, we recommended them to our next-door-neighbor and they had Midwest install a hot water heater the very next day. BTW: They had very competitive prices.

I selected Midwest Heating and Cooling to replace my furnace and air. They were professional, knowledgeable, and on time! James was my advisor he answered all my questions and secured the system that was right for my situation and at a price that was competitive. The technicians were great - they were fast in removal and installation, protected my floors and cleaned up afterwards.

Report
I've used Midwest Heating and Cooling for over 10 years including purchase and install of my current furnace and AC system and for all related service including twice annual preventive maintenance. I've always been pleased with their honesty, fair prices and very high quality work along with the knowledgeable technicians. This time I had an emergency call due to furnace not working after normal service hours. Their response was within 45 min and I was up and running again soon thereafter. I highly recommend Midwest.
