We had our AC and furnace installed by Alex and his team at Rush Air last year. We chose him for his expertise, and we've stayed in touch because of the kind of person he is. Alex is the guy who looks after you well beyond the contract. He takes real pride in his work and never pushes unnecessary upgrades. We know, because we had several other HVAC companies come out before him. Just recently, Alex came by to swap out our filters, completely free of charge, and ended up walking us through a few extra tips while he was here. It was great catching up with him again. If you're looking for HVAC work, go with Rush Air. You'll get a fair price, quality work, and someone you can actually count on long-term. read more

Called them on day after new years and they pick up their phone! He asked for some pics of my furnace- he looked at and sent his worker Daniel to check it out. Daniel knew exactly what was wrong and told me I needed new filter and reset my board and I got heat again. Thanks for wonderful service! read more

they replaced my 27-year-old Furnace. Very professional installation with excellent communication in a fair quote. definitely recommend this company for furnace replacement. read more

I had an issue with the power on my HVAC; the thermostat was reporting no power coming through the 24V wire. Alex was super helpful in helping me diagnose what was wrong (a blown fuse) and calling me and walking me through both where it was and how to fix it. I'm super thankful both for the help and for the fact that he didn't charge for the advice - the next time there's any issue with the HVAC, or when it comes time to replace it, Rush Air is who I'll come to. read more

Installed new heater. A year later installed an AC unit. Later upgraded to double wall furnace exhaust stack, due to condensation. Work performed as quoted in a timely manner. Great attention to detail and finish. Used subs when needed for new electrical. Also had ductwork installers. Installed quality equipment as requested. Easy to contact, offers suggestions to take care of issues that arise. read more

From start to finish Alex and his team were top notch. After looking around and getting bids for both a new heater and AC I decided to go with Rush Air and so glad I did. They are a little on the pricer side, but you get what you pay for, that's the truth. Alex was there everyday checking in and keeping me updated on the progress. The end result was the most high quality heater and duct work I have ever seen. It's pristine looking! HIs employees were professional and cleaned up after themselves everyday before they left. I know if I have any future issues that Alex will be there right away to assist. I highly recommend! read more

Issue: Our gas furnace turned on, but no air was being pushed into the house. I called around and was hoping someone would respond within a few days. After day 4, I decided to call Rush Air Mechanical. Thankfully, Alex answered. I sent him pics and described the issue, and he made an appointment to come out the next day. On the day of our appointment, Alex arrived on time, diagnosed the issue, and gave us quotes. We then set up another appointment to replace the furnace the next day. The furnace we chose to go with was in stock at the time, so there were no delays. Now we have heat, thanks to Alex and his team! From the day I called Alex to the day of the replacement, it took less time than when I was waiting for local companies to call me back. Excellent service all around! We highly recommend Rush Air Mechanical! read more

When we tried to turn the heater on a few days ago, we could hear it trying to come on. It would start up like it was working, but then after a few seconds it would just shut down. After checking yelp reviews, I saw that Rush Air Mechanical had all 5 star reviews (not even a 4 star review!). So hoping that we would get a response in the next 24 hours I called the number. And thankfully, we received a text back from Alex with an hour. He asked for a photo of the unit, and then asked me to run a few tests. After those tests all failed, he let me k ow that he had availability the next day, but would also let me know if he would have time later that day. Well he must have finished his PM appointment early because he texted me a few hours later saying he could be at our house in a few hours if we were available. After Alex arrived, he spent some time looking at the unit, and was able to diagnose the problem quickly. It turned out that we had some spider webs inside one of the tubes that was preventing the unit from igniting. Anyway, Alex fixed the problem and was on his way all in less than an hour. I'd highly recommend Alex and Rush Air Mechanical to everyone! read more

I called about a malfunctioning wall heater. He was super kind and offered multiple suggestions over the phone. Would absolutely recommend. read more

It's rare you find a company/service with a solid five stars and you don't become skeptical. Obviously there is no way a company can really be THAT good right? Well I am glad to share that is indeed the case with Rush Air. I just recently moved into a condo and wanted to treat myself to those cool and semi unnecessary smart thermostats that enable me to live my best lazy life. Thanks to the pandemic, I too was bit by the "DIY Bug" and have certified myself for any minor repair around the house; I had met my match when it came time to install an Ecobee Thermostat. I purchased the. thermostat BEFORE checking the wires of the current dumb thermostat.... I did not have the dreaded C-wire, so I called around for some quotes. The first highly regarded company I contacted came out for a $89 diagnostic fee (although I clearly explained the situation) just to tell me "yeah you're going to need a C-wire and that is going to require opening some walls and patch work... and oh yeah it'll be about $1200" Company #2: Came out for a fee initially (but the tech didn't charge me) and said that it would be pricey to run a C-wire to the unit and I would need to get an electrician to bundle the wires, patch, etc, etc. They actually recommended that I "get a fancy battery powered thermostat." Company #3: Rush Air: I contacted Rush Air and explained my situation, Alex text me back asking for pics of the thermostat and the location of the furnace. He replied that he would have to move the thermostat and put it closer to the furnace and provided me a reasonable quote. I thought to myself "there is no way in hell this is as simple as this guy is making it seem, I just had two BIG named companies come out and they made it seem like they would have to to perform surgery to get this to work. So I told Alex "I'll think about it." So there I was feeling defeated and desperate because I had just purchased a $200 thermostat off Craigslist (no return possible). About a week went by and I got a text from Alex circling back about the thermostat. Luckily my contractor was at the condo so I ran Alex's suggested method by him and he said "That's f*cking genius! it makes the most sense, I am surprised the other companies didn't suggest that." So I quickly booked with Alex. I am fortunate to have found Rush Air, and I am glad things worked out the way it did. Alex was like a ninja, in and out with precision. i went to Home Depot and he was gone before I returned. My contractor said "whoever taught this guy is a master of their craft" I highly recommend Rush Air for multiple reasons: Responsiveness, professionalism, knowledge, fair pricing and efficiency. I am so happy with the service and solution provided by Alex. read more

I highly recommend Rush Air Mechanical! Quick service! Honest estimate, I was sure my compressor was broken, Alex tested and diagnosed. It was a bad capacitor. He could have been dishonest, and I probably would have paid to replace the unit. Instead, my air conditioner was back on for just the cost of a new capacitor. Air conditioning back on, happy wife happy life. read more

Alex was extremely responsive when called and provided a quote with multiple options, addressed all my questions and stuck to his quote. Mike installed the system and was respectful of the property very clean, fast and fixed the vent that I had not realized was incorrect. Really happy with the job, speed and cost. Great company that I would highly recommend. read more

While I didn't use Aleks for my heating repair due to the brand of heater my home had, he was extremely courteous and helpful running through some diagnostics over the phone/text. If you ever have a heating repair job, I'd recommend starting with Aleks - professional, helpful and honest. read more

Rush just provided some expert advice over the phone that enabled immediate resolution of a new issue with our second furnace. I truly appreciate their professionalism and willingness to help over the holidays!! read more

Our heating system randomly stopped working after we changed the batteries in our thermostat. I tried all the tricks I could find on Google but nothing worked. It was really cold outside! I called Rush Air Mechanical and received a call back quickly. I was not able to answer at that moment, but a few minutes later, Alex texted me. We subsequently communicated via text and via phone. I sent him pictures and videos, and he tried to help me figure things out. When this wasn't possible, he came over within an hour! He got the system working within 15 minutes. Even though he had had driven over, just to evaluate my heater and taken time out of his day, he didn't even charge me. I am so appreciative for this, and will definitely contact this company again if we have heater issues in the future. Thank you Alex! read more

Alexander was right on time, quick, friendly and professional. He suggested an inexpensive fix to my problem and it worked. Recommended.

WOW!!! We recently had our gas furnace replaced by Rush Air Mechanical. Alex and his team are amazing. Alex is knowledgeable, responsive, prompt, professional and courteous. He is on time, replies to questions or inquiries in what seems almost instantly. He has superior communication, interpersonal and customer service skills. His pricing is fair and competitive. The gas furnace was installed professionally and smoothly. We are thrilled and 100% satisfied with Rush Air Mechanical and his team. Thank YOU Alex for taking great care of us! read more

What a wonderful business focused on customer needs, honest, thoughtful, and comprehensive!

I had an angry heater that got partially flooded. Alex was kind enough to review my situation by phone and video and resolve the issue safely! He was quick to respond and very helpful. Thank you Alex for getting my heat back late on a Friday! read more

Alex is awesome! He came over quickly to assess the problem with my furnace and ordered the part the next day. Once he got the part, he came and immediately fixed it. Furnace is working great. Additionally, he was very friendly and professional. I would definitely call him for any future work and highly recommend him to anyone. read more

my gas Furnace was not working and I got great information to help me fix and troubleshoot. I would go to rush if you need help

Alex is great and honest and speaks in non technical terms which I appreciate. We had a problem on Christmas and Alex called and walked me through the diagnosis and simple DIY fix. A rare breed and we are grateful!! read more

Alex was simply fantastic. From the moment he answered my first call until the furnace installation was completely done. When our furnace started acting up, I began doing some research and based on yelp reviews, I decided to call Alex. He was very quick to respond, came to see and diagnosed my 25-plus year old furnace, explained what options were available, and then decided to replace and install a new furnace. So far, the new furnace has been working great...he and his crew did an excellent job. If any of my friends are having problems with their HVAC units, I would highly recommend Alex of Rush Air Mechanical. He's very reasonable, very competent, and most importantly very honest. He's upfront, very mindful of your time, and gets the Job done. Thank Alex!!! read more

Working with Alex was great. He quickly diagnosed the problem (our AC fan stopped spinning), ordered the part, and fixed the AC unit - all within 24 hours. Just in time for summer! Highly recommend. read more

Our heater broke during a cold season and Alex was very responsive (vs. other HVAC companies not even bothering to call back). He came across as very honest and he tried to help even diagnose the problem over the phone. Ultimately the heater needed to be replaced and he was able to stop by the same day. I highly recommend Alex at Rush Air. read more

Our furnace was not working and we called Alex for an inspection. He was responsive and we were able to schedule a next day appointment. He provided a diagnosis within 30min. He explained what went wrong and provided different solutions to us. We decided to get a replacement, Alex and his installer got the work done in about half day. Both of them are professional and friendly. From the initial inspection to furnace replacement, the entire process took a couple days only. We have our new furnace for about 2 weeks now - it's warm and quiet. read more

Does a great work, delivers as expected. Clean and effective. Me and my friends needed someone to fix their heating, we called him up schedule for a repair and he saved the day. Now it's warm and comfy. I would recommend him anybody who needs a/c and heating services. read more

A friend of mine recommended these guys when I urgently needed to find someone to repair a heater at my mom's house. I don't live in that area, but I was able to take care of the problem over the phone with Alex. He was able to diagnose the problem with the unit just by me sending him a picture of it and a brief explanation of the problem. The heater was fixed the next day after I called. It has been two month since the heater was fixed, and it didn't give me any problems since then. read more

Our AC failed on the weekend and I left a message on a Saturday with Rush Air. The owner, Alex, called me back right away and then came by the next day to repair it. He was really friendly and took care of the issue right away and we were very pleased with him and his work. He even went to the hardware store and get me extra filters! Would definitely hire him again. read more

Alex saved our house. During the cold front the city saw this last week, both our water heater and furnace broke down. I was able to get the water heater situated but having a cold house with a broken furnace was just as bad. He took the time to walk me through the reasons why my 25+ year unit was unsalvageable in the timeline I wanted (ASAP). After going through different options in my setup, he moved things around his schedule to accommodate getting heat back into my household. Extra bonus: When he came with the unit to be installed, he noticed it was dented and he refused to install a damaged product in my home. Again, he had to mess with his schedule and exchange the unit for a non-defective unit. All of this points to an above and beyond service that I got form Alex and his team. They were friendly, informative, and most importantly - real with no bs. I hope all other service people I meet in the future are as friendly and informative as Alex and his team. Thanks again! read more

I just had the best experience with Alex - over the phone. He was able to walk me through my problem with my furnace with a few pictures and calls. It's working and I'm warm again! I had called a few other places and was given appointment options only - a week away! Alex took the time to solve my problem - he's the best!! read more

A big THANK YOU and sincere appreciation goes out to Alex who helped me get my home furnace back working while he was remote and busy. Alex and team were unfortunately not available today for an in person call but he helped me trouble shoot my problem by asking key questions and reviewing pictures of my unit. They never stepped foot in our home but we now have heat and its cold outside. They will be our first call if anything should happen again. Have an awesome day Alex and Rush Air Mechanical. Sincerely, Marc read more

A/C stopped working--fan in outdoor unit wasn't turning on. Called and left a message with Rush Air Mechanical. Got a quick call back from Alex and discussed issue over the phone, including a couple of basic troubleshooting questions. Ended up still needing a house call, and Alex was able to make it same day. He quickly diagnosed the issue and was able to replace the failed part the next day. Communicative and responsive. Reasonable price. Friendly. Will call again if I have HVAC issues in the future. read more

I was ready to spend whatever to get my Air Conditioning working while we were having a hot summer. Alex came over and figured out my wall thermostat was the issue and all it needed was a simple reprogramming to get the AC machine in the backyard activated and next thing you know, the vents were blowing ice cold! He had an infrared laser temperature gun that was reading 59 degrees! I was able to save a bunch of money from his knowledge and honest work! Thanks Alex read more

Thank you, Alex! Alex promptly returned my call and came out to take care of our furnace issue on a Sunday! We didn't have heat for about a week and I was starting to feel like Biggie Smalls when the landlord dissed him. My kids were getting sick too. Needless to say, we couldn't go any longer and needed this fixed today. Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Alex. He was friendly, skilled, and answered all my questions. And, he was super fast. Made sure the furnace was working and no more pesky gas smell in less than half hour. Thanks, Alex! read more

It was one of those 90 degree days and our AC broke down. I called Alex in the morning, he had already a full schedule, but offered to squeeze me in at the end of the day if he ends early. He had a full day, but was still willing to come at 7pm to help fix our AC. Alex got things done quickly with a reasonable price. Really appreciate it. read more

Alex returned my Saturday call promptly and came out a couple of hours later to quickly resolve a fuse issue for my furnace. He also installed my new Nest thermostat. I was loathing the idea of a cold weekend--and appreciated that he could quickly resolve the my situation. Thanks! read more

Alex was the absolute best on all counts; he even came to our house to give an estimate on a Sunday when our furnace broke down, when other companies didn't even answer their phones! We talked to a handful of companies; Alex had the best estimated cost by far and he and his guys did a most excellent job! We recommend him without reservation.... he's easy to talk to, knows his stuff, and is a very nice guy to boot! Jim and Kathy T. read more
