- SDSreedhar Devathi2 days ago5.0I called them to help me with my HVAC system, to get a quote to change to a new system. Ray showed up, checked with me before showing up, very patient in trying to understand the issues I have been facing with the existing system before giving me the quote, gave me all the options including keeping and working with the existing system . I strongly recommend this business. They are very thorough, professional
- ABAshley Brannan2 days ago5.0I was very impressed with Northstar here in Duluth, MN. Corey the technician was on time, efficient and performed a flawless install. Bryan in the office also gave us a call the day before to confirm the time, which was appreciated. The Modine Hot Dawg garage heater that was installed is holding temp and the T6 Thermostat that they installed hooks to our wifi which always keeps us informed on temperature, and gives us peace of mind. Can’t recommend Northstar Heating and Cooling enough for your HVAC needs, for both install and maintenance.
- BEBradley EricsonNov 6, 20255.0Rejean was extremely helpful and informative. If they are awarded the contract for my new furnace I look forward to working with them! Very professional.
- DADAVID ARCANDNov 4, 20255.0Ron did a great job on helping me out on educating me on my nearly 30 year old furnace replacement recommendation.
- AMAmanda MOct 29, 20251.0NorthStar is leaving their lawn signs in yards in Virginia without permission from the homeowner/implying the home used their service. Edit: The business replied stating that this is “no different than a sandwich shop placing signs” as if putting signs out on private property in residential neighborhoods is similar to right of way signs. It is different. It implies service to the home and is a wholly inappropriate, shady business practice.
