“Ritchie Mechanical is the go-to for HVAC service and installation. I contacted them when my 30 year old HVAC system finally gave up and died.
They came out the same day, pointed out issues with my old system that made it less efficient, and gathered all the info they needed for a quote. I got the quote on the next business day with all the thorough details. They got started installing my new system in two days after I accepted the quote.
The system is working great, and even though there were a few little surprises they ran into and a little more time was needed, they still only charged me what they quoted.
Call Ritchie Mechanical for your HVAC needs. You won’t regret it.”
