2nd Wind installed a mini-split heat pump for my porch. They came promptly, worked several hours, cleaned up, explained how to use the remote. I was very pleased with their installation and the heat pump itself. Job well done!

I am extremely glad we chose this company. I was nervous because finding honest, good quality HVAC, Electrical or Plumbing companies is hard to find. My families story and how 2nd Wind Responded made them a customer for life. My wife and I bought our home about a year and a half ago and I knew the HVAC was already 20 years old was hoping to squeeze some more life out of it before replacing. My wife and I return home from the hospital with our first born child, and the air went out! In the middle of 100 degree temps. I did quick research and found 2nd Wind they got a young tech whom was extremely professional here within 30 minutes, he evaluated and said they’d have to replace. I explained we needed to get house cooled down for the baby and he immediately called his boss and they grabbed window AC units brought them to our home installed them at no charge until a central HVAC fix could be made. They showed the human side of a business and customer care that many don’t these days.
The next big thing they did thats rare these days I told them I wanted the same Goodman Central Pack we had because it lasted 20 years. They didn’t try to upsell me, cut me a break on the price and owner spoke with me on the phone thanking me for the business and said he had kids so he understood the situation I was in with a newborn and would get the team out there as soon as possible to install and replace with the new unit. Crew got here and completed the entire install in a single day even ran new returns and did it professionally. This is a great company, its so rare to find companies like this that actually care about the customer, the quality of their work and aren’t focused on an upsell for everything. Just good people, good firm they have my business for life.

I’m very happy with the results. We replaced the ductwork underneath the house. Sammy did a great job explaining and showing pictures of all the work needed. I would recommend this company to family and friends.

I needed two units and it was pricey but I set my budget and they gave me what I needed in that budget. Their proposal included a lot of features that other companies were not quoting me and they are in full compliance with the county with permits required for install, which some companies said I didn't need. I worked with Rob, a senior technician, who came to my house and explained everything, helped make me the deal I wanted, and followed through until the county inspection. Replacing HVAC is a necessary expensive evil but 2nd Wind, made it happen with ease. I highly recommend them!

Excellent experience with 2nd Wind! They were quick to respond the same day I needed them, let me know when they would be there and actually showed up on time. When the technician (Israel) got to my place he was courteous, professional and diagnosed and fixed our problem in short order. He knew what he was doing and did it well! I highly recommend 2nd Wind for any one needing Residential HVAC service.
