I had four well-rated HVAC contractors come out to go over options and provide estimates for replacing our 32 YO central HVAC system. The first three all said that I needed to go with the mini-split type of system with the air handler units (@ $17,000.00-$17,500.00) mounted in some positions that seemed energy inefficient, to me (based on the unusual layout of our home) as well as detracting from the appearance of the house. Alec was the only one that took the time to look at all of the options, explain why some would work, but might not be the best choice, and why some others wouldn't work as well, or at all, and said he could install the gas Forced Air Heater and Cooling coil where it made the most sense efficiency wise to me, and provided an estimate several thousand dollars lower than the other three contractors for comparable quality equipment. His crew showed up on time, and worked like men possessed, even though I picked the two hottest days of the year to have my old system replaced. Alec and his crew answered a LOT of questions, and showed me how everything was routed, and were able to use most of the old ducting spaces while installing new insulated ducts, and route the new power and refrigerant lines through the same spaces the previous system used so we didn't need to make alterations to the structure. I will recommend Sturges Heating and Air to any friends or coworkers that need to replace their systems, or install new ones. I'm a notorious penny-pincher and I think this was Money Well Spent!!! read more

I called Sturges for a quote for an AC system install in my house. I got Alec Sturges on the phone,he was very nice and offered to come same day. I left work and met him at my home. He was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and I did not feel as though he was giving me any run-around. I felt that I learned a lot just by following him around as he gathered all the info he needed. He gave me a verbal quote on the spot and I received a written quote same day. He was very straightforward and i can tell he knew what he was talking about. Altogether, I received 5 quotes. Sturges was the second best price but I went with him because of his professionalism, the detail of his quote, and I just felt more comfortable overall. At first when the crew showed up I was a little disappointed that Alec wasn't going to be working on my home but that disappointment quickly faded as I soon realized that his crew was just as knowledgeable and friendly as he was. Alec is very proud of his crew and I can see why. The crew came on a Thursday morning 8am sharp and I had central air conditioning by Saturday afternoon.They worked quickly, they worked hard and everything looks very clean. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I am happy that I went with Sturges Heating and Air. I have already told a bunch of my friends to give him a call. I would 100% recommend this company. read more

Alec and his crew with Sturges Heating and Air Conditioning have restored my faith in contractors. When Alec came to assess my house he took the time to explain all the options available and his knowledge was second to none. For all his suggested updates I expected his quote to far exceed my budget. He provided me three estimates based on multiple levels of setups/upgrades. His pricing was so fair I was able to go with the top tier option and stay within budget. I did do the responsible thing and got multiple estimates and none of them came close in comparison from a pricing or customer service perspective. At the end of the job I realized I absolutely made the right choice. Alec did inform me that Jeff would be the team lead which made me a little nervous because I was so comfortable with Alec that I'd hope he'd be overseeing the project. After 10 minutes with Jeff my reservations were put to rest. Jeff was as knowledgeable and as great a guy as Alec. The whole project took two days which blew my mind. I would say I have high standards, and the craftsmanship of this crew far exceeded my expectations. I will be recommending Sturges Heating and Air Conditioning to all my friends and family. These are a group of stand up guys doing top notch work. Be confident in going with Sturges. read more

We just had a completely new heating and air conditioning unit put in by Sturges Heating and Air and they were amazing. Alec came out the same day we called, did a walkthrough and emailed a complete estimate to us within hours. We asked about some changes (electric heater instead of gas...two stage unit instead of single stage). No problem. His bid was competitive with the other estimates we received but he had some discounts that made his bid much better. But the best was yet to come. His crew was amazing. Each of them was so nice and obviously very competent. We had some tricky places to get to because of past home additions and their response was no problem. They had to cut an opening in our ceiling to get to one area. When all was done they patched it, matched the paint and we couldn't tell that there was ever a hole. When they were packing up to leave, Alec had two wonderful ladies show up to clean our house. I don't know if it was because of the dust flying around from the extra cuts or if it's something he always does but it was totally unexpected. So if you are looking for heating and air conditioning always get several estimates but make sure Sturges is one of them. If you choose him you can't go wrong. read more

Alec lives on my block, and I had talked to him last year about wanting to replace my A/C. I thought he said he only repaired A/C's, so about a month ago, I called another company for an estimate for a new A/C system. Alec saw the other company's truck and later came over and asked if he could submit a bid also. He told me that although he primarily repairs A/C's, etc., his crew installs new equipment and also does insulation and duct work. Jeff, Carlos, and Roberto did an excellent job, and like other reviewers mentioned...Jeff told us what he was doing, adjusting, and fixing throughout the process. We have a bedroom that has no insulation with a peaked ceiling and two small vents. The vents produced skimpy heat in the winter and little cold air in the summer. Jeff showed us what he did to create a stronger air flow, and it was amazing. Because it was cold that day, he turned on the heater, and a strong flow of heat came into this peaked ceiling room. We're really happy with the results! read more

When our rooftop heating unit stopped working I went to homeadvisor.com to narrow my search for a heating/air conditioning repair service technician. Sturges Heating and Air Conditioning was one of three recommended for the job. I decided to go with this service because it was local and the reviews were favorable. Alec was friendly and explained his whole routine as he was working. He didn't have to. Anyhow, the repair was very simple. The issue was the ignition box (a separate unit from the motherboard) not igniting. He checked power to the unit, pushed in connections, moved ignition wire away from the heat vent, and gave the box a jiggle and a few taps (kind of like tapping that starter solenoid in your car). Voila, the heating system turned on. He made sure it worked a few times before he left. Alec also took pictures of the ignition part for future reference just in case the part failed. Alec was professional and worked efficiently. read more

On March 01, 2016 Alec Sturges, and his hardworking crew installed a central A/C system in my home at a more than reasonable price in one day. Every member of Alec's team was prompt, courteous, clean, and most importantly possessed extensive product knowledge. The entire job was very thorough from the clear answers to my questions, to the cleanup after completion. Impressive ! After seeing the professional work Alec did for me, two of my longtime friends/neighbors installed heating and A/C in their homes last week. This is a home improvement project we have procrastinated doing, but with another HOT summer looming close we took the step because we found a great company run with integrity, that goes the extra mile. I recommend Sturges Heating & Air Conditioning without reservation, and it would be difficult for anyone to find a contractor with Alec's work ethic, honesty, and expertise in this field. read more

I was in need of a new HVAC system to replace my current failing system that was 21 years old. I first received a quote from a large HVAC company doing my ongoing maintenance. I was shocked at the quote. I was talking with a neighbor about it and he referred me to Alec who he knew from high school. I checked Sturges here on yelp for reviews, compared to other local HVAC companies and sent a text to Alec who quickly responded. Through the initial texts he provided me an initial estimate which was quite a bit less than my first quote. He then sent out his lead tech, Jeff, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We settled on the right system that was better quality than the first company was offering. Though the installation took a day longer than was initially expected I am happy with the results. Alec and all the installers were very friendly, helpful, and kept the place clean. read more

Alec and his team installed a new HVAC system in my house about a year ago. Best investment I ever made. We have never had central air before but we did have one of those in room stand alone units that you stick the hose out the window. On hot summer days the in room unit struggled to keep even a bedroom cool. The new central unit keeps the whole house cool and the big surprise for me was that my electric bill was not that different even with the hot 2018 summer we had. If you are running multiple in room units, do yourself a favor and upgrade to central air. Alec and his crew showed up when they said they would, completed when they said they would for the price they said they would. Workmanship was bar none. Also, have them add insulation in the attic as needed, the investment will pay for itself. read more

What an unbelievable find . Look no further !!! Alec gave us a VERY fair bid to replace the heating and air conditioning in our home. We did three separate zones with three separate Nest thermostats . All the old equipment and ductwork were taken out and within an hour somebody came to remove it all from the front of our house. Then all the new equipment arrived . The team of Carlos, Gersen. Robert and Jeff moved seamlessly through our home for 3 days . Everybody had a job and everybody knew exactly what to do. If a new angle was needed Jeff was able to run out and get whatever was called for . I can not say enough about how much I appreciate them and all the state of the art new equipment that was installed. Am I glad it is over with, yes , but I sure am glad we had it done! read more

Shout out to Alec from Sturges Heating and Air Conditioning for saving my family from this heat! A/C stopped working yesterday, Friday of Labor Day weekend at 5pm. I checked my local community page for recommendations and found Sturges Heating and Air. I called and left a message. Alec returned my call right away and offered to come out at 7 am the next day (Saturday on a holiday weekend). Yes, he did a Saturday call!! He arrived on time, was friendly and professional and took the time to do a thorough check of my system and electrical. He found the issue was in the breaker box and replaced a part and was done in under an hour. Everyone is now nice and cool in our home! If you find yourself with an A/C problem give Alec a try. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alec Sturges to replace the HVAC system in our rental property, and I must say, he did an exceptional job. Alec's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were truly commendable. He thoroughly assessed the property's needs, provided us with a comprehensive plan, and executed the installation flawlessly. Not only did he complete the project within the agreed-upon timeframe, but he also ensured that the new system operated efficiently and effectively.

I had a great experience with Alec and his team! They were very professional from start to finish, and I'm now comfortably enjoying my new AC and heating system. They replaced everything, including the AC unit and ductwork, and showed up on time every day. Communication was excellent throughout the process--they explained everything clearly, gave helpful advice, and made sure I understood my options. Their pricing was reasonable, and they did a great job cleaning up after the work was done. Alec, the owner, has excellent communication skills and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Alec and his team to others! read more

Received several quotes to have an air-conditioning system installed. The house has limited attic space, so the total of 3 quotes had a range in price, since the unit had to go on the roof. Alec made me feel at ease & comfortable that I would get the proper work done in timely manner at a good & reasonable price. Alec's crew came on Thurs & the job was done on Sat around noon. The crew worked together so well & timely. I was amazed at how everyone got it all done so easily. I know it was a big job. I am happy I went with Sturges Heating & Air. Very impressed will all the workers & the wonderful job they all did. Would recommend them highly. read more

I was referred to Sturges by my neighbor, and Alec and his crew are awesome! My old heater in the attic was installed in the 60's or 70's. I was told by 2 other contractors it would take 2 to 3 days to tear out the old heater and install a new one. Alec's crew did it in less than one day, also he had the best price. They were on time, very professional, worked extremely hard. It's hard having strangers come into your home, but I felt very comfortable with them there and was very impressed with their quality of work and how well they got along as a team. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Alec and his team had replaced a couple of old units at the church we attend. Sturges had the best pricing out of several companies the church had received quotes from. When our home A/C unit quit working, we called Sturges. Alec responded quickly and told us what the problem was and what options were available. We decided on a new unit. Jeff and Chris were ready to begin even before the scheduled time. They worked quickly and efficiently. We love our new unit and we highly recommend Sturges Heating and Air Condtioning. Alec and his team are awesome! read more

I called the night before and he said to text my address to the same telephone number. He came right out in the morning. I had the central A/C installed in 2001 so I thought I was in for a new expensive compressor. Instead he just put in what looked like a condenser and we cleaned the machine inside and he used the hose outside to clean it and only charged me $275 which is a lot cheaper than a new compressor. The A/C started right up and the inside temperature went below the thermostat settings. Thanks to Alec's help I dodged a bullet. read more

Alec is a first class HVAC technician. Very logical, and customer oriented. Fortunately, he was able to report on short notice today. We've had a string of warmer than typical April evenings. He assessed the equipment and the deficient performance of the system. While he listed multiple possibilities of what might be wrong, he started with the least complex, and least costly potential solution, and in this case he nailed it! I don't think I'll need his services anytime soon. When I do, he'll be the only one I call. TM 0424 12.19 read more

We highly recommend the Sturges team! They were timely, professional and provided the best price in town for an A/C install on our old house. Service included abatement of old asbestos lines and install of all new ducts and a central A/C unit. We decided to make some changes in our home layout during the install and the guys were great to work with. They developed a revised plan to provide better circulation without additional charges! System is working great and we are thrilled with the service provided by the Sturges team. read more
