From new installation to routine maintenance these guys are the best. They used to fix old heat pumps we had, installed brand new and each time we had to deal with this company we are impressed by their professionalism. read more

My HOA now requires annual HVAC maintenance. Found these guys through a local search and they are fantastic. From the moment I made the appointment to the very end of the service, I had text updates right down to the name of the lead technician I should expect and when he was on his way. Hector and Joe were super helpful and took the time to explain my system to me and then showed me the before and after pictures of the work they did - my unit is on the roof of my building which residents aren't allowed to access, so I've never seen it before. The pricing was great as well. I highly highly recommend Residential Air Systems and will use them from now on. read more

Our ducted air conditioner died and we needed to replace it. We contacted 10 companies, and we were happiest with Residential's offer of quality products at a great price. The team communicated well in advance of the installation day, and when they came to install, the team was great. Courteous, professional, laying down mats to keep my house clean. They did an excellent job with the installation and were happy to take the time to answer my questions and explain everything to me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend RAS for an HVAC project. read more

Had them install central air for us several years ago and have had them service same since the installation. Found them all from technicians, to owner, to office help to be pleasant and responsive and reliable. I highly recommend them. John Zablocki Pompton Lakes read more

The team at RAS were fantastic! The owner reviewed my house's heating problem's, made suggestions, answered all questions. The HVAC team were friendly and professional. Work was performed quickly, clean, and reviewed. I couldn't be happier with the results. I got a new AC, new furnace that was compatible with the needs of the house and more returns for the unit. Multiple other HVAC companies came but RAS was far superior to finding cost effective solutions to meet our heating needs and not break the budget with unnecessary items. The office staff was efficient and attentive as well. Excellent team that I would highly recommend! read more

UNTRUSTWORTHY AND HIGH PRICES I am a professional property manager who has dealt with contractors on a daily basis for the past 20 years. I deal with HVAC contractors all the time, and I know how the system works. But, I didn't tell Residential Air Systems any of this when I called them about a problem with my elderly parent's air conditioning and furnace. I had high hopes for this company based upon their reviews on Yelp and Google. WRONG DIAGNOSIS I arrived at my parent's home right after the tech finished his diagnosis of the malfunctioning equipment. He determined that the transformer needed to be replaced. He gave me an estimate of $400 which was on the high side since it typically costs $200-300. I started to ask him technical questions. His answers were off, which made me slightly suspicious. Then, the tech stated that the unit was so old that even after fixing the transformer, he couldn't guarantee that it would work. The unit might still need additional repairs. This is when alarm bells started ringing. (I know what to look for.) I immediately called a different company who came out to take a look. Guess what they found? The problem was a simple blown fuse. A $5 part. You might say that it was an innocent mistake. Well, let me tell you that the fuse is the first thing you are supposed to check. How could he have missed it? He is either incompetent or he deliberately misdiagnosed it so he could make more money. Either option is pretty bad. UPSELLING But, more happened! Due to the age of the HVAC unit (15 years), the tech strongly recommended that I replace the unit now, and he gave me an estimate for replacement. This was another red flag but something even worse happened. To determine the size of the new unit, he simply looked up the square footage of the house and the current size of the HVAC unit. This is a definite no-no in HVAC installations. You MUST calculate the heat load. Many are too lazy to actually spend 15-30 minutes to properly measure the envelope of the house, something which will impact your home for the next 20 years! You need to run from any contractor that doesn't do a proper heat load calculation. What's even worse is the tech upsized the unit! Bad contractors will do this because it ensures that the unit will definitely heat or air-condition the home. It's hard to sue the company when they upsize the unit since it will provide enough heat and cold. However, upsizing leads to major issues. The unit will turn on and off quickly so your home ends up having humidity issues. Also, the home's daily interior temperature will swing wildly up and down because the unit will pump out too much cold or heat at once. As a result, the temperature in your home won't be uniform and your monthly bills will turn out to be more. I cannot in good conscience recommend Residential Air Systems. First, they misdiagnosed a simple blown fuse, recommending an expensive part. They then overcharged me for this part. Second, they pushed for the replacement of the entire unit when it wasn't necessary. Finally, they didn't properly size the new unit which would have affected the comfort of the house for the next 20 years. It may just be the tech, right? I can tell you that the owner of this company reached out to me afterward and offered a "discount" on the replacement when I declined the replacement. (Another red flag.) The owner never even questioned whether the replacement unit was properly sized. Run away from this company. Ignore the other reviews from well-intentioned but unknowing customers. *You may ask what company I do recommend. For some reason, heating and cooling companies are hard to find in this area. Although my experience with this company is limited, Prestige Heating & Cooling seems to have integrity. You can read my other Yelp reviews of businesses to show that I try to be honest and thorough. Good luck! read more

Not only were Brian and Chris early to replace our ductless heating/cooling unit but they were also incredibly kind, tidy, respectful and thorough. On top of all that, when the separate furnace used for the majority of the house set off the carbon monoxide detector went off (completely unrelated to their work) they were quick to call their managers to ensure we could get to the heart of the issue as quickly as possible. Connor was there in minutes to follow up on the information from the fire company and gas company who confirmed the issue stemmed from the furnace. He checked all possible causes and narrowed it to the heat exchanger which meant the furnace needed to be replaced. He thoroughly explained the issue and options and patiently answered all of my questions. Knowing the forecast ahead for days of low to zero degree weather and that we had just spent a great deal of money on the ductless unit, Connor made quick work of finding us a very reasonable option to purchase/finance a new furnace. He also helped to make sure we took all necessary steps to clear the house of the carbon monoxide so we were safe. This company and it's employees are amazing! I highly recommend them! read more

After numerous quotes & starting to feel dread with every consultation we were lucky to find Ed and his team. He was extremely personal and easy to talk to, the price was considerably better than many of the quotes & he explained some details about the process that easily put as at ease about cutting holes in our new home. The job was done quick and was extremely neat, the team was able to work around some factors of the home as if they were trivial. Instead of coming home to a sauna after a day of work, I'm now greeted with a pleasantly cooled home that is whisper silent and connected to a smart thermostat allowing me complete control of the home no matter where I am. I couldn't recommend them enough. As a new home owner the idea of someone cutting holes and running ducts/wires all over had me worried about keeping the place looking as good as it did the day we moved in but I could not be happier with the finished result read more

Residential Air Systems - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Cedar Grove, New Jersey

After meeting with the RAS technician and Ed Mann (RAS owner) we decided to purchase our new system from RAS. The installation was scheduled after the summer months. The installation was then performed the first week of September and it exceeded my expectations. Not only were the technicians (Chris and Scott) very knowledgeable about their product but they were extremely courteous. I would like to add very professional and neat. When the job was completed they removed all of the old material and everything was left immaculate. However the story does not end there. Following the installation we had some issues unrelated to the installation. We called Ed Mann for his advice. He quickly came and spent a couple of hours with us to help correct the problem. This was extremely nice of him considering that it was not related to the installation. Also, on another occasion, Chris did stop by on a Sunday afternoon to answer a few questions. I would highly recommend RAS to any one that requires a new heating/conditioning system. read more

*Posting on behalf of my mother* Working with Ed and his team was a great experience. We needed a new furnace and central air conditioning unit installed. Ed came out and thoroughly explained everything that he and his team would need to do. They were friendly and courteous, but probably the biggest plus of all, was that they cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend! read more

Don't. Asked for a quote for replacement, it was 90 degrees, I understand they were busy but they couldn't even be bothered to issue a quote for replacement. Someone came out to confirm that the system was old and was, in fact,in need of replacement. Upon speaking with their representative the next morning I was informed I could expect a quote sometime within 7 days (never received one). I moved contracted another firm to complete the job as my family could not sit in discomfort all summer. I received an invoice from for the site visit as if this company actually performed a service of any value.... read more

Unfortunately, this company has been very disappointing. We had someone come out to give us an estimate. While he was very pleasant and professional on site and I leaned towards this company based on that interaction, there has been zero follow-through. It's been 2.5 weeks since that site visit and we haven't received any estimates or proposals. We've followed up several times via text and email - all very cordial correspondence but have been given no reasons for the delay nor any explanation for why an estimate has not been provided. The experience has been a waste of time for all parties involved. If you're looking for a company that actually cares about potential customers or integrity, keep searching. read more

Very happy with Ed and his employees. With Covid, I had a difficult time getting a permit in a timely manner from my town to put in ductless AC. Ed gave me his cell phone directly and listened to me and helped me make it happen. He took his time when he came giving me all options of what I could do, since I live in an older home. When it was time to finally do the work, Evan and Anthony with 2 other employees came out and did the work in hot, humid NJ weather. They were professional the whole time, knew what they were doing, cleaned up after, answered any of my questions with patience, and even CUT DOWN and removed all debris from two bigger shrubs/small trees that needed to go in order to put the outside system in correctly. I would highly recommend Residential Air Systems for any AC or heating needs. read more

When our A/C got tired (after 32 years) we got some estimates for a new one. We needed a replacement system going into a restricted space. Steven came from RAS and gave the attic a through measuring. We sat outside - with masks- as he explained the sizing problems. A solution was found - Bosch instead of Trane- and the deal was made making sure the unit would get into our attic and at a good price. Steven and his crew of 3 more arrived on time- again with masks - and finished a little early. The floors were covered and they were neat as can be both inside and out. Very pleasant team. We even got a follow up call a few days later to see how wonderfully our A/C is now working. Highly recommend company. read more

Ed Mann and his team installed a very tricky air conditioning system in our old center hall colonial, and it took a lot of smart engineering. We had no duct work in this older ho,e. They did a great job and it worked out great. Highly recommended. read more

RAS was the third company I got a quote from and I am glad I did. Ed is a gentleman to deal with and his team treated my home as their own. High quality products and a high quality installation. Nobody tried to oversell me but also didn't just give me a down and dirty price and then try to hit me with additional costs. Ed's team put an entire new system in and did not even scratch the walls. If you want to work with high quality people...work with Ed and his team. read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE from the quote on Monday 3/2 to completed project on 3/5. I am extremely pleased with the replacement of my 20 year old Bryant HVAC system. The technicians were very professional, did a complete clean-up following the installation, answered all of my questions and went through what I had to do for the system to run efficiently. Very fair pricing for the units and installation. They arrived at 7:30am and the job was completed at 3:00pm. I would highly recommend Residential Air Systems, Fairfield, NJ for all residential HVAC needs. read more

Ed Mann came to my home which has two furnaces and a/cs. One in the basement for the first floor and a second in the attic for the second floor. We never had good heating or cooling balance in the second floor rooms no matter how we tried to divert the air flow. Ed took one look and described what had to be done. Most ducts were undersized, and one long run should have been a metal duct. The other two vendors never mentioned what was wrong in the attic with the duct work. The job was finished in the two days that Ed estimated and his price for the work was better than the others which included the rerouting and replacement of some of the duct work. read more

I had RAS over to determine why my a/c wasn't working, and it was decided it was the capacitor. He was quick to come, efficient, and appears to have done a good job. The only thing I would say is be sure to demand that no work be done before getting an estimate and to not accept high prices because it is easy to run up a bill that is unreasonably high for the time and parts involved, unless it is questioned. read more

Ed Mann, the owner, gave us an estimate that was very reasonable compared to 2 others. He was easy to talk to and listened to all of our concerns. He promised to cover my floors and took care of my house the way he would like someone to care for his. He did ALL that he promised and more. He sent 2 men Evan and Bill. They were very respectful of us and our home. The job went very smoothly and, it has only been a month, but all is working perfectly. I would recommend Ed and his company to all. read more

We have a 90 year old home and finally decided that we needed to install Central Air Conditioning. We started the interview process and had 6 different companies come in and each experience was different from: style, professionalism, pricing and products recommended. Our decision was made easy when we met with Steve Hernandez from Residential Air Systems (RAS). Steve showed up when scheduled and was: thorough, professional, took down every detail and mapped out our house with notes on each room - in his first visit. He then talked options and made recommendations while educating us on what each manufacturer offered and why one would be a better choice for our house and needs. Steve made the decision easy and we hired RAS. On day one, their army of professionals showed up and each step was outlined in detail by each professional, lead by Dave. We were so happy that we made the right choice. The RAS team was courteous, cleaned up every day and consulted with us whenever there were options and/or decisions to be made. They completed the job on time, with no surprises and we now enjoy a great system. read more

We needed a new AC and furnace and asked RAS for an estimate based on all the positive reviews on the internet. An excellent choice! Ed Mann is not only a great and friendly guy, but walked us through all requirements and options with the Trane system very professionally and pragmatically. It did not hurt for our final decision that he offered the high quality Trane system for almost $3,000 less than the quote we got for a competitive system of equal quality and that he had better warranties than anything we have seen elsewhere. The installation crew was equally professional, friendly, very efficient and careful with their surroundings. I fullheartedly recommend Ed and his team to anyone who needs AC and/or furnace. read more

Steve came out for an oil to gas conversion estimate. He took a look, didn't give even a range and said he would provide a written proposal. A month later he still hasn't sent anything. read more
