Best Air Duct Repair in Portland OR

We bought a house on the hills in Happy Valley that came with no A/C and after three summers of experiencing the sweltering heat waves, I finally decided this would be the summer we would get central A/C.  

I ran into a neighbor who recommended Sky Heating so I called and despite the busy summer schedule, Sky Heating had someone contact me within 24 hours to schedule a system designer to come out and do a walk through to give me an estimate.  Another company I contacted asked me a bunch of questions over the phone and I told that person that I just would prefer he come out or send someone to come out as I was not sure I was answering the questions properly.  I actually have no knack for this sort of thing.  

The system designer from Sky Heating who met with me, Karin, was amazing.  No pushy sales.  Just laid it out for me so that I could decide.  I didn't want 100 options - that would paralyze my decision making process.  I just wanted her to recommend the best few.  She taught me a few things along the way and I totally appreciated that.  As I mentioned, they were busy and even though my scheduled installation was about 2 weeks out, they did put me on the wait list in case another customer canceled.  They were able to get the installation done a week BEFORE the original scheduled one as I was leaving to go out of town and needed the A/C before I left.  

It's so wonderful to come back from vacation and have A/C as Portland got hit with yet another heat wave.  

I took Karin's recommendation and bought a Trane system as it's the best on the market - in terms of how they are made and the longevity of the system.  If you're considering options, Trane A/Cs are supposed to be the best.  I also opted to pay for the extra feature to be able to view and control my home's heat and A/C temperature via a website.  Totally worth it!  Sky Heating also gave me an estimate to add the 2 zone electronic damper system later if we decided we needed it since our home has 3 levels.  They will not raise the price (quote is good for a year) on this later.

I was most impressed with the technicians and staff as they have been with the company for 20 plus years.  Karin has been with Sky Heating for 30 years, I think and Mike, one of the technicians has been with Sky Heating for 23 years.  Not only are the employees loyal to Sky Heating, they are also knowledgeable about the products.  They know what they are doing.  And they all seem to support each other so that was refreshing to see the teamwork.  

If you do get an A/C system installed, be prepared for the job to possibly take 2 days to complete if an electrician is needed to do the wiring.  Despite this, I was very grateful to have A/C.

It turns out that I live in the same neighborhood as the owners of Sky Heating (I didn't know this before calling them) and we have become friends.  They are the sweetest couple.  Even if we weren't friends, I would recommend the company.  They are professional, transparent, and ethical.  They do not overcharge.  They treat their customers with respect and truly strive to do the right thing.  When I read the negative reviews from some of the other customers in the past, I feel these remarks are unwarranted.  As a business owner myself (not in the US), I totally feel the pain for the owners of Sky Heating when all they want to do is the right thing for a customer and that customer just wants to complain.  

I would recommend Sky Heating wholeheartedly and look forward to enjoying my new A/C for many years to come!

This was the second time i used Cornel's Plumbing.  My new washer couldn't be hooked up to the water supply because my house has horrible PVC plumbing.  The PVC pipe had become brittle and fused to the hot water valve.  It was late in the afternoon when I called Cornel's, and they sent a plumber out the morning of the very next work day.  Yay!!!  Although he warned me the pipe could very likely break when he tried to remove it, it didn't, thank goodness.  I was only charged his $150 trip fee.  Double yay!!!  Cornel's Plumbing will continue to be my preferred company in the future.  I highly recommend them.

Kevin was our tech today. We have an older system but we weren't pressured to upgrade. Instead he fixed our issue, did his best to save us money and was respectful and professional!

I hired them to do a shower valve replacement.  The installer came over and while removing the valve, broke the pipe.  He said it is cvpc pipe and is weak and gets brittle.  Nevertheless, they cut two holes in two different closets to access the broken pipe in order to cap it.  He didn't finish the job that day. They called to come back to fix the job the next day and we would pay a total of around $947.  We told them we didn't want to do that as we thought the price was too high (the original quote to replace the valve was for $335).  The next week, they sent a bill for $587 for a shower that doesn't work and two holes in two separate closets that we now have to pay for.  

The shower still isn't working after two weeks and today they told us we are looking to have work done for free as we were asking them to come back and fix the pipe they broke and replace the shower valve for $335.  Needless to say, we will not be wanting to have them work on our plumbing again.

I was charged 50 dollars for them to come and look at my faucet for 10 seconds and then try and charge me 500 for washers. I won't be using them again.

Lonny showed up at my house at 5:45pm on a Sunday (30 minutes after I called) and spent 30 minutes trying to drill a hole into a plastic orange slice to pull it out of my toilet. With his patience and diligence he got the stupid orange slice out of the toilet. He is my hero and I'm now able to use my bathroom. Thanks Lonny :)

Called, they answered, and I got an A/C repair appointment for the next day (during the hottest weather of the year) with no trouble at all. The repairman came 15 minutes early, and got everything done in about 30 minutes. He even pointed out another issue connected to the furnace, as an FYI.

Highly recommended. This was the least painful service call I've had, ever.

2023-2-24 Had my first maintenance tuneup on my 19 month old furnace. Matt B. is an excellent Tech. Answered all my questions and was very thorough. I highly recommend Sky Heating and am glad I chose them for my HVAC install.

Technician That was sent was great!
Justin was very Knowledgeable and considerate. Will definitely use cornels plumbing again if needed.

The service provided is thorough and the techs are extremely professional and clean up after themselves. The staff make convient courteous calls to schedule an appt as well as appt reminders.

I made an appointment nearly two weeks ahead of time for installation of a dishwasher and sink faucet.  Called the day prior and asked to add 2 slow drains to the to-do list and was assured no problem.  Travis showed up on time, but things went downhill from there.  He said the scheduler didn't allot him enough time to do the job, and that he would have to reschedule for the following week.  My husband asked him to just do the original request (dishwasher & sink faucet), however he declined and said he didn't have enough time for those.  Phone calls back and forth solved nothing.  Travis left after giving us an estimate for $1,300 - which is totally outrageous for this scope of work.  He estimated the time to be 5-6 hours, which is well over $200/hour.  It's very clear he simply didn't want to do the job - very frustrating as I now have a new dishwasher sitting in my home awaiting installation.
