We had issues with our furnace right before Christmas. Jess was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and got us fixed up. He kept a tidy workspace and I appreciated the fact that everything was left the same as when he came in (as that isn’t always the case). This isn’t the first time we’ve used RJ Nelson, and won’t be the the last! They are honest, efficient, and consistent in their work and I’d highly recommend them!

Called to just receive a regular checkup/maintenance on our AC/Furnace. Receptionist, Stacy, was very fast, efficient, and courteous in scheduling our service. She gave us a 1 hour timeframe in which the technician would arrive. Alvin, the technician, arrived easily within that time frame. Alvin provided professional service. He communicated any issues of concern and provided his input for us to continuing having an efficient system. We have arranged to have annual spring/winter maintenance with them.

Our A/C unit quit working suddenly in August and after replacing the filter and checking a few things myself I gave R.J. Nelson a call. They sent someone out the same day to diagnose our problem. After weighing the cost difference of repairing our unit vs replacement we opted to replace our AC with a new unit. The guys were fast, reliable and clean with their work. I will definitely be calling them for maintenance of our HVAC system in the future.
