We've used Shavitz for several years and have generally been happy with their service. However, our most recent experience was disappointing and has led us to cancel our service agreement. During our annual AC maintenance visit, the technician recommended cleaning the blower wheel fan in our furnace and quoted us just over $400 for the work. When we later called to schedule the service, we were told the technician had forgotten to enter the quote into their system. At that point, we learned the actual price was over $700. After speaking with the technician, Shavitz confirmed that he had indeed quoted the lower amount, but the best adjustment they were willing to offer was a price of $691. The situation was made more frustrating by poor communication. We spent over 15 minutes on hold, were told someone would call us back, and never received a return call. We ultimately had to follow up ourselves the next day. We are canceling our service contract for two reasons. First, we believe the company should have honored the original quote provided by its technician. Second, after getting additional estimates, we discovered the pricing was significantly higher than other reputable providers in the area. We ended up hiring AL Air Heating & Cooling, a family-owned business with excellent reviews, to perform the same blower wheel cleaning for $275.

Found Shavitz after researching pricing and reviews from other locally owned companies. I originally went with a slightly cheaper company to do my annual repair, and the experience was unpleasant. I re-did my visit with Johnathon @ Shavitz who communicated what work needed to be done to the system. He told the which work should be prioritized based on safety and severity. He listened to my concerns and did not try to talk down or talk over me, or speak quickly in an effort to overwhelm me with information. I feel informed and in control of the next steps for my system.

Charlotte and I have been using Shavitz for at least twenty years. They have installed and maintained multiple HVAC units, and we really like working with them. The service is friendly, efficient, and reliable. We even found a service tech we particularly liked, Mario, and it's been nice to have the continuity of both the company and Mario handling our HVAC year after year.

Jordan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He replaced the drain pipe on our Navien tankless water heater that serves our hydronic (in-floor) heating system, and he did an outstanding job. From the moment he arrived, it was clear Jordan really knows his stuff—he explained exactly what was wrong with the old setup, why it mattered for our heated floors, and how the new drain pipe would improve reliability and performance. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and friendly the entire time. The work was done cleanly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. Our system is now running perfectly, and we have peace of mind knowing it was done right. If you need any work on a Navien unit or hydronic heating system, Shavitz is the company to call. Highly, highly recommend!
