Kathleen Cullen
Great Job!!
During a recent snow/ice storm, I had an overnight flame-out on my gas furnace that wouldn’t re-ignite. I contacted Howell’s early the next morning, and they immediately notified a technician, Curtis Jones, to address my issue as soon as possible.
Upon arrival, Curtis got right to work and isolated the cause of the flame-out. He fully described the reasons behind the problem and the steps he took to get it resolved. Additionally, he offered to me some simple tips that would potentially help avoid flame-out issues in the future.
I would also like to offer thanks to the service dispatcher that handled my initial call and immediately contacted Curtis to get him to my home as soon as possible.
Great job!!
Rich Grantham
Howell has delivered great service again
Heat went out right before the storm. Curtis came out quickly. He was very professional and courteous. He called as soon as a spot opened in his schedule and serviced the HVAC, quickly getting the heat going. Howell has delivered great service again.
Taryn Coullier
They Had Someone Here at 6:45 AM
Called yesterday with no heat downstairs. They were fully booked but had someone here at 6:45 AM today. Heat was working by 8 AM. New capacitor and $445 later. Appreciate the photo they sent with info on the guy coming. A nice touch to make you feel safe.
Anne Nelson
I highly recommend Matt's work
Matt came out and got my heat back up and running. He was also great about explaining what was going on with my heating and what the source of the issue was. He was great to work with, and I highly recommend Matt's work. He provided great technical service and excellent customer service!
Whitney Booker
Highly Recommend Howell's
Highly recommend Howell's! My heat went out (on the coldest day of the year, of course) and everyone I talked to was so helpful, even before they came out. They have great communication, and when a technician was on the way, they let me know and sent me a photo of who to expect. Matthew was super professional and was able to diagnose the problem quickly. Grateful to have the heat back on with 20-degree weather!
Amanda Stamper
Great Service and Company
Mr. Kenney did a great job with our initial consultation and service call. He actually helped us get the heat back on temporarily while repairs are made. Can’t thank him and Howell’s enough. Great service and company.
Helen Edmond
Super satisfied with the service
We called Howell's when our heat went out. Should have been our first call, but very glad we did. They sent someone the same morning we called. Our tech was Mark. He did an awesome job explaining what the issue was and what the repair would entail. He even had the part on his truck. Two hours later and the work was done. Super satisfied with the service and the provider!
John NGAF
Service Team Came on Time
The service team came on time and completed the work needed to get my boiler working. I had just moved into this house, and the technician, John, walked me through everything on a boiler so I would know when to call Howell’s and how to operate as a homeowner.

Had a small gas leak in the heating system. Howell's responded on-site within about 90 minutes from my call.

I was very impressed with our first experience with Howell's!
B West
Simply the best in Richmond, VA
I have been dealing with Howell's Heating & Air (HVAC) for over 30 years; they are simply the best in the greater Richmond, VA area! A piece of my heating system went out on a Wednesday. When I called them at 4 PM, a technician arrived the next morning before 7 AM! Technician C. L. Kenney is simply the best there is; conscientious, professional, and knowledgeable. He had me back in heating mode in less than 2 hours. These guys are the real deal.
Randy Puryear
Heat was back on in less than 24 hours
Our heat stopped working, and we noticed our breaker had tripped. They were able to come out the next day first thing in the morning. They were on time, diagnosed the problem quickly, and were able to replace our melted wires within an hour. Heat was back on less than 24 hours after calling. Great service!
Kat Treweeke
We Are Warm Now
Our heat was only running auxiliary heat but not keeping our house warm with the recent freezing temperatures. Mark was here within an hour of calling the day after Christmas and stayed until he found the problem... a loose wire! We are warm now. Thanks so much!!
Eric Saylor
Great service and reasonable price
Called them to take a look at why we lost power on our heating system. Matt showed up. Very professional and polite. Identified the issue straight away and fixed it. Great service and reasonable price.

Linda L White
He was friendly and kind
Matt was on time and checked our 22-year-old Carrier unit thoroughly. 🤞🤞🙏🏻🙏🏻 He was able to answer my questions and explain, besides the ETA on our furnace. He was friendly and had a kind approach, which I greatly appreciate. Thanks again! I felt he was honest. He said he’d try to get a referral for a reputable roofing company who doesn’t charge for inspection, and a sheetrock/drywall one too. I emailed to schedule and had to reschedule twice. Lacy responded in a timely fashion.
Stephanie Michalowicz
10/10 Guys Came By, Cheerful and Polite
10/10 guys came by, cheerful, polite, on time, worked quickly and effectively and solved my problem, were upfront about costs and offered solutions, offered fixes on things not necessarily in the scope of my request that they noticed may need attention. Would recommend Tech Andrew Keck for your work.
