We called Top Flight on Christmas Eve expecting to wait a few days for service. The phone number went straight to a REAL person who was pleasant, friendly, and had someone at our house within 3.5hrs. Our technician was also friendly and knowledgeable. He made a thorough assessment of our system and fixed the issue in the expected time frame. I highly recommend Top Flight to anyone looking for service and will definitely be using them in the future!

I wasn't receiving any heat n he was able to determine what the issue was n resolve it. I couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend this company to anyone who's having any problems with HVAC system.

Top Flight did an awesome job replacing my whole HVAC system, including duct work. Ryan did a very thorough initial inspection of my old unit which allowed him to make the best recommendations for the issues I was having. They were prompt, courteous and explained in detail everything they were doing during installation. Everything was cleaned up well after the job and I appreciate how quickly they were able to get me scheduled. I highly recommend Top Flight for any of your HVAC needs.

Professional and knowledgeable heat and ac company. Family operated company with family oriented values. Top flight saved the day for me when the company I originally hired to install my new ac central unit took off without completing the job. Top flight stepped right in, corrected and finished the job just as the weather was heating up. They also have improved the way I heat my house. Best heat/ac company I have ever worked with while owning many homes throughout the years. Thank you Top Flight!

The other day, when temperatures were in the teens, I woke up to 54 degrees in my house. I went on line to look up HVAC services and saw that Top Flight had many excellent reviews. So I called them. A couple of hours later, Isaiah and Tyler came to my house. I have to say that it was one of the best experiences, if not the best, that I have ever had with a contractor or service person. They were here all day. Isaiah explained everything to me in detail and encouraged me to ask questions. He was so patient and so nice. Of course, they fixed the problem and gave me some good advice. He was very professional but easy going and well-informed. Also, the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

Isaac serviced my ductless system in my sun room. The system was heating but was inconsistent in response to temperature changes. Isaac cleaned the inside unit and that seems to have improved how it works. He was on time and worked professionally.

We were going through a total nightmare trying to find a company to fix our HVAC system. We tried 3 different companies that took our money and left us with a system that would stop working within a month after they said it was fixed. Top flight found the problem the 1st time they looked at it. It's now been running for almost a year with no problems. Isiah and this company are the best. We highly recommend them. Thank you Top Flight.

I Highly recommend Top Flight! I called for service at the beginning of the cooling season. Technician came on time, inspected and cleaned the main two heat exchanger zones, checked all the return filters, measured the temp at each supply output and then inspected and cleaned a mini split. He took his time but was really efficient, thorough, clean and knowledgeable. Had great air conditioning all summer! I signed up for their service plan and will be scheduling our heating/fall call after Thanksgiving.

Top Flight is exactly that! Tyler Powell was the technician sent to maintain my very old furnace. He was professional, informative and personable! He let me know what to expect from the furnace and I was pleased with his evaluation. There was no upselling. He, with the owner Ryan, came up with 7 quotes for different brands and efficiencies of furnaces that I requested.The ladies in the office did everything they could to fit me in the schedule! I was so happy with their service and honesty!

I have Top Flight Heating & Air do my annual maintenance on both my central A/C inside the main house and the Mitsubishi A/C unit in our sunroom. Isaiah and Joey are really knowledgeable and listen to your needs. I had a severe attic condensation pipe break causing major ceiling repair in my living room. Isaiah found the leak and suggested redirecting it towards another area of the attic for a better flow to the outside. It has so far worked great. I'm very pleased dealing with Christina in the office. I highly recommend this company.

Top Flight has truly been a lifesaver for me, especially during an emergency when my rental property had no heat or hot water. Their quick response and expert service got everything up and running in no time. Their team’s professionalism, clear communication, and dedication to getting the job done right are impressive. I’ve relied on them for multiple properties, and each time they’ve exceeded my expectations with efficient, top-quality work. It’s comforting to know I can count on Top Flight when urgent situations arise. Highly recommend them for reliable, high-standard service—every property owner’s go-to solution!
