What Can You Expect With Howell's Heating & Air in Ashland, VA

“Oil furnace wasn’t running and then when it was it wouldn’t stay started so Howells stayed on it until it was properly running. Now it’s running better than it has in years. Thanks for the professionalism and knowledge to get the system up and running.”

“Requested a proposal for duct cleaning last week. Technician came out and did inspection. Paid $150 for inspection and he quoted us $1680 for cleaning and ionization unit installations.
Did not get emailed proposal. Called the office and was again quoted $1680. Email with quote arrived, $3560. Called and asked why it was not $1680. Basically told I was quoted wrong twice by their employees., take it or leave it. Very fly by night practices for a long established local company. Be careful if you use them. I won’t be using or recommending them to anyone.”
