“It is our pleasure to leave a review for this fabulous TEAM. Our experience first began when Greg came to our home after we had a leak problem with one of our units. He gave sound advice as well as professionalism, knowledge and expertise. We ended up needing a new heating and air replacement. The installer Jason was amazing. He was always on time and even sent me a phone message before his arrival. He worked diligently, effectively each day with several assistants Eli and Riley and others. It was a difficult time for our family with the loss of a loved one while the installation occurred. They were kind and respectful during this difficult time, treated us like FAMILY. On a scale of 1 to 5, we give them a 10!! Their service is off the charts from their receptionists Amber to Lorraine who schedules the work, simply fantastic. We look forward to a long future with this company and would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. And quite frankly, we have recommended Able Heating and Air to our family. Thank you so much for the time and care you have taken assuring our Heating and Air are functioning correctly, effectively, and efficiently. THANKS AGAIN!”

One day into this summer’s 95-plus degree heat wave, our 23-year old TRANE heat pump stopped working. A minor repair got it going again, but we saw it as a sign that now was time to replace the aging system.
Our number one priority was to find a local service provider who sold TRANE units. We selected Able Heating & Air and couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. They sell quality products and back them up with superb service and installation work. Neil met with us, performed a detailed analysis, and offered a package that would not only replace our existing system, but also solve nagging hotspot problems we had been struggling with for years. This involved replacing the primary heat pump and adding a mini-split unit to address the hotspot issue.
First came the mini-split. Joe completed the installation in two days. He was meticulous in every aspect of the procedure and the resulting improvement was immediate. Shortly after, Mike and Greg followed up with replacement of the primary heat pump. The results were nothing less than amazing. Even though the ensuing month was the hottest in memory, our electric bill actually dropped substantially from the same month last year and the temperature level of every area remained cool and constant.
The best part of the project was the follow-up service provided by Greg’s team. Remember that this was our primary consideration when selecting a HVAC company. We were not disappointed. As with any retrofit, adjustments were expected. Ours was no exception in that an air duct needed to be modified. Mike and Mark did an expert job of making and installing the needed connection. The result was professional..
We look forward to many years of a perfectly functioning system with continuing service by the staff of Able Heating & Air. They have earned our highest rating and recommendation.

“I came home at night to find my ac not working, wasn’t even running. Of course this happened on the hottest day, 97 during the day, and it was close to 80 degrees in my home. So I called Able, who my family has been using for quite some time, around 5-6pm. I spoke with a representative who took my info and told me I’d get a call back once he passed my info on to the team in the morning, which was of course understandable. However I received a call from the owner, maybe 30 minutes later, who said he would head over to take a look and try to get it up and running that night, for a very reasonable service charge. He came over and diagnosed the problem very quickly, fixed it on the spot, again for a reasonable charge. After that my ac turned right back on and have had no issues since.
TLDR: Quick, reliable service, reasonable prices, good communication and customer service. Highly recommend!”

“I was out of town when my a/c went down. My house sitter/dog sitter were in the house. In a panic, I reached out to Able for help. From the appointment scheduling to the repair, it was a very pleasant experience. Greg came out, diagnosed the problem and made repairs the very next morning. He is a very knowledgeable technician and you should be proud to have him on your team!”

“ABLE HEATING & AIR IS THE BEST! I want to thank Greg for helping me select the right air scrubber and Amber for coordinating the installation.

“Able never lets me down and honestly in todays world, it’s almost alot to expect common courtesy, much less excellent service. I always have a great experience with all the staff from reception, to dispatch to service provided. Over the years receiving service, I’ve had to replace my AC, furnace and water heater in my 20+ year old home. I’ve had many poor experiences with in home repair companies trying to take advantage of what I may or may not know but I really trust Able to take care of my needs and respond quickly. Their premium service plan for maintenance and service is well worth it and can’t be beat. They are the best!”

“Greg and his other service people are very informed as to the full list of procedures required on HVAC systems.
We had a bad experience of smelling “Dirty Socks”. After their investigation finding the correct
coil sprays the smell never returned. You can’t tell how relieved we were——Thanks.
If they are running a bit early or late we are informed so we are totally aware at all times.
The team back at the office are a pleasure to work with. We can pay at the time of service or over the phone.
Thanks Able for your excellent service.”

“Finding out my furnace could no longer be operated safely was an unwelcome surprise on Monday. Amazingly, the rest of the week was full of pleasant surprises thanks to everybody at Able Heating & Air. They bent over backwards to ensure that the right system for my needs was ordered and installed before the week was out and that I was comfortable in the interim. No fewer than six people helped me out over the course of the week. They were, without fail, professional, friendly, helpful, compassionate and tolerant of my many questions. They treated me like I was their #1 customer. How often can you say that in this day and age? I am beyond grateful and will be a loyal customer for many years to come.”

“Wonderful local business. Our heat pump system failed in the midst of the summer heat wave. Greg came by and conducted an in-depth assessment of our home to determine suitable replacement system options. Afterwards he made himself available for many questions about various options, specs, and other details. Greg and his team worked very diligently to get the new system installed quickly and even brought over portable air conditioning units to mitigate the heat and humidity in our house while the new system was being installed. We are very impressed with the professionalism of everyone we worked with at Able. Definitely will have a relationship with Able for years to come. Able is a local Culpeper-based business (not some outfit from Northern VA), veteran owned, and a business that reflects Christian values.”

“Michael and Emilio did an outstanding job installing and explaining our new system! They worked efficiently and neatly and were more than willing answer all of our questions.
Of the three companies we interviewed before choosing Able, Greg was the only salesperson who took the time to measure all the rooms in our home as well as the windows and doors before showing us the options that would best suit our needs.
Overall, this was an excellent experience!” – Rick D.

“Our upstairs heat-pump stopped working a couple of days ago when the power went out. As always, a call to Greg and Catie at Able Heating & Air elicited an immediate response. While Greg was unable to remotely troubleshoot our problem, he personally came out within a couple hours of our phone call to diagnose the issue and repair it. Polite, (as always) and wearing all appropriate PPE, he found the issue and fixed it within a couple of minutes. We've lived in Lake of the Woods now for almost 4 years and our experience with Greg and his entire crew at Able over this time keeps us calling them first any time we have a problem. If you are looking for a reliable & efficient local small business HVAC company to fix, replace and/or maintain your HVAC equipment, these are the folks you want to call!”

“I had Greg come out today to give me an estimate on replacing my heat pump. First off the professionalism and follow up by Emma was outstanding. She kept me informed with email, phone call, and text on the appointment. Second Greg was professional, knowledgeable, and patient with explaining everything from start to finish. The appointment was about 2 hours but well worth the information. Greg was also very personable and I felt comfortable with his insite of the entire estimate. My family and I haven't made a decision yet but just from first impression of Greg and Able I would highly recommend for if anything the experiance and great information!”

“On a vey busy day Greg came to our rescue. The evening before our Trane HVAC had proceeded to increase the level of heat to 82 degrees and was still rising. I went to the thermostat with its instruction booklet and with very limited tech knowledge was able to get the temp to a more moderate degree. Called Able and they responded later this morning when all technicians were very busy. The response was above and beyond a normal expected response. We recalled a problem earlier in which a "sham"
E-Mail had caused Comcast to change our internet info. That may have caused our problem..
At any rate, Able took care of the problem in record time. I have always found this company to be very reliable and they have always met our needs.” – Donna S.
