Everyone we interacted with at A.J. Michaels was amazing. Shortly after getting quotes our water heater failed. Chris, our initial contact, worked hard to get us a temporary unit and get us on the schedule. The guys who came to instal our new high efficiency boiler and water heater were amazing. They worked hard and did beautiful work. The system was in in record time and has been working flawlessly the month we've had it. We will definitely work with them again on other projects.

On the Saturday before Memorial Day, I learned that my water heater had gone up. I called A.J. Michaels on Tuesday, they sent someone out to my home right away. The gentleman appears genuinely concerned about my situation. They installed a new water heater the next day. The technicians we're on time, professional and completely cleaned up the work area.

Cannot say enough good things about this company from their customer service to their sales team and technicians. a company with real integrity. i have been going round and round for three years with other companies for 3 years about a recurring issue that no one has been able to diagnose. spent untold dollars on parts they said failed that did not create the problem. Was told by someone to contact this company. Chris came out and looked about but did not think I needed a new system as was told by last company.

He told me he was sending his Carrier specialist out to see me. Ed came out and within an hour and a half, diagnosed and fixed a 3 year old issue with just minor parts from his truck! No problems since. That is honesty and integrity and in these difficult times, this company is a breath of fresh air. Thanks A.J. Michaels!

Outstanding service, response, and professional care. Also the nicest bunch of people in the business. They have done all heating and plumbing in my home for over a decade, installed boiler, HVAC, serviced, and repaired. This is an exceptional group of folks. They have solved problems that other plumbing/heating professionals told me could not be done. For example, they installed air-conditioning system and vents in the attic of my 75 year old home when others said it was not possible.

Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the extraordinary service and workmanship of the AJ Michaels team. From start to finish, every aspect was great! We live in an older home. The AC unit was mounted on the roof and the vibrations were incredibly noisy. They came out and moved the unit, repaired our system, and now we are soooo happy. We don't hear the AC at all. They stuck to their estimate both price and time wise. And they took great care to protect our floors and clean up after they left. Fabulous!
