Choosing the Right Thermostat for Your Home

We decided we need to add AC to our house and replace the aging furnace when we moved in a couple years ago. I ended up reaching out to 7 companies for quotes because most of them said it was impossible to add AC to our house. One company told me our only option was to add mini-splits in every room. Different companies had different ways of evaluating the house. Everyone focused on the fact that there wasn't enough vertical room in the garage to add evaporator coils, supposedly. Some measured every window, some did a quick video tour, and some just went off of square footage. Our sales person from Cardinal, Tom, gave the most thorough evaluation of what really mattered by focusing mostly on making sure there was enough return air vents to supply a unit of the size we were adding. Tom was very patient answering all of my questions providing helpful information without trying to push me towards more expensive options. Our installers were incredibly hard working and did a great job. I think our lead installer was Jake. They had to reroute a duct to make enough space to add the evaporator coils, which no other company was willing to do! Jake didn't make it look easy, he had to fight for a couple hours to make it work, and he worked extremely hard to get the duct moved only a couple of feet. It's been almost 2 years and we're extremely pleased with the work Cardinal did. We had a hard time deciding between traditional AC and a heat pump, but Tom gave us no nonsense advice that helped us decide on the heat pump, and our energy bills are thanking him.

What a pleasant capable couple of guys!

I called Cardinal Heating and Air on a Sunday evening with an urgent request for help dealing with my breaker panel (my house was suddenly without power). Joshua returned my VM within minutes. I shared with him that my anxiety was sky high and that my kids had just returned to visit me from college. After going over the details of when/how I lost electricity, he walked me through several steps until power was restored. Clearly this is out of scope for a heating and air company (LOL, what was I thinking?)—this was an electrical issue. That said, Joshua believed the problem was simple and that he could help. He was relaxed, friendly, patient, and helpful, staying on the phone with me through each step. Would I use Cardinal Heating & Air in the future? Absolutely. Kindness and integrity are invaluable. Their work, ethics, and experience are stellar.

Heat pump needed maintenance due to the cold weather. Cardinal’s technician Brandon H was prompt and professional. He was able to get the heat pump back in tip top shape.

Kenny was courteous and professional and communicated very clearly. He showed up on time and worked very efficienctly.

Luis and Jesus installed an AC unit in my baby's bedroom before the summer heat. They were professional and friendly and were gracious to work around nap schedule. Will definitely use again!
