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.

In the land of private equity and subpar service, Shavitz is a true family-owned and operated gem! We recently had a routine HVAC maintenance service done at my home, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The technician, Karol D. arrived on time, was polite, and explained each step of the inspection clearly. He cleaned the filters, checked the ductwork, and tested the system to ensure everything was running efficiently. I appreciated that he gave me a few helpful tips for keeping the system in good shape between visits. Overall, it was a smooth and hassle-free service, and I feel confident my HVAC system is ready for summer!

We found Shavitz through a referral after buying our condo, and had such a great experience. Our tech, Jackson, was efficient, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He thoughtfully explained what he did during his service, and gave recommendations of what repairs we should focus on next and what could wait. I appreciate his transparency and care! We look forward to having Jackson as our preferred tech and working with Shavitz in the years to come. Highly recommend them!!

Jarek and David did a fantastic job replacing our air conditioning system. They arrived on time and finished a fairly complex job in 1 full day.

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.
