Very pleased with service to repair toilet. Used online booking and was able to quickly get an appt with service person. Edward T., the repair guy, was courteous, went right to work, and got our toilet working again. Hurray! Will def call Roland J. Down in future. C. B. Edwards
The rep was outstanding
The rep (Haresh.P) was outstanding. He answered every question completely and honestly.
Very Personable and Knowledgeable
Today Noble R., Roland J. Down’s service tech, did a maintenance check on my central air conditioner. Noble was very personable, knowledgeable and answered all my questions with satisfaction. Thank you, Noble R., for your expertise and advice.
Great service!
Great service! I am very happy with the plumbing job they performed. Keep up the good work!
Bryan & Ernie got us up and running
Bryan & Ernie got us up and running as quickly as possible. :)
Great Service from Knowledgeable Techs!
Great service from knowledgeable techs! When here to replace our AC system, the power went out before they arrived. They brought a generator with them so the job could be done as scheduled. Fortunately, the power came back just when they started, but what a comfort to know they were well prepared.
They stood by their service
I had a very pleasant experience with Roland J Down, specifically Avi and Caleb, the technicians.
They installed a boiler for me a few years back and it had all sorts of issues with parts that were still under warranty. They stood by their service, coming out no less than five times to assess and fix issues at no additional cost to me. They were patient and provided good service for the value!
Great Service and Friendly Technicians
Great service, friendly technicians, and super quick to get an appointment.
Clint and Eric were amazing
Clint and Eric were amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Our AC was not blowing cold air. Clint diagnosed it in a few minutes and was able to replace it right there. The price was very reasonable as well. Cannot recommend enough.
Absolutely Stellar Service!
Absolutely stellar service! They were able to come the same day and hours earlier than expected. We were back up and running within minutes! Clint was awesome! Absolutely will be contacting again.
Garrett Took the Time to Answer
Despite working in a cramped crawlspace on a blistering hot day, Garrett took the time to answer my questions and go over things with me.
Highly Recommend
The service techs here are always polite, informative, and clean up the space. Highly recommend.
Very Good Service
Very good service. My technician Dern was amazing in explaining everything he did. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. I will use in the future and definitely recommend them.
We had great service
We had great service. Salesman Brian Silvia was wonderful, answered all our questions, probably asked way too many, but he answered them all. Quick to schedule an appointment for us, they were here within a week. Nick and Brian were friendly and professional, did a great job. They were here a couple of hours, old unit removed and new unit installed, job was done very well.
This installation gets five stars
This installation gets five stars based on speed and professionalism alone. From initial contact to installation in four days, and everyone - from the office staff, to the technicians who made the initial visit, to the technicians who did the installation - was thorough, polite, and professional.
The confidence that provides as a homeowner is priceless - although technically we did sign a contract for the installation and there was obviously a price for that.
The technician was outstanding
I have had my new furnace and AC installed by another company but keep Roland J down for maintenance as I trust them better. The technician was outstanding in his professionalism, manner, and work. He even diagnosed a wrong welding done by the other company. The maintenance program makes me feel safe and in good hands. 👍
We Couldn't Be Happier
We had a great experience with Roland J. Downs. Nick & Alex were both incredibly professional and efficient during our recent installation of a new ductless A/C system. The attention to detail in all aspects of the job was exceptional. We couldn’t be happier.
Ven was great and very personable
Had a service call for a leaky hot water heater. Ven also found, besides the top leaks, there was a leak within the tank that was leaking on the bottom. Ven was great, but also very personable. Next day, Rick and Michael installed a new hot water heater. There were initially some problems, which they quickly resolved. They did a great job and explained everything well.
One of the Best Servicemen
Dillon came today. He is a very pleasant, courteous, and professional worker. He is by far one of the best servicemen I have dealt with in over 40 years living in this house.
Highest Customer Service
I had plumbing issues that Antonio and Hector took care of with the highest customer service, will be my only call from now on.
Best technician I’ve ever had
My service technician yesterday was professional and friendly. The work was excellent and he cleaned up after the job was done. Best technician I’ve ever had.
Brad, the Technician Was Phenomenal
Brad, the technician, was phenomenal! Thorough, efficient, professional, and very mannerly. Would highly recommend him and request him for future service. However, the salesperson, Brian, did not need to accompany him. He seemed to be interested in quoting a price for a new unit, and I didn’t feel it necessary for him to accompany the technician. I don’t think it’s proper for him to request to use our bathroom when there is a gas station and Stewart’s five minutes away. Again, Brad was outstanding!
Very pleased with the quality of work
We replaced our furnace and central air unit in 2026. They respond quick, communicate well, and use quality systems like Lennox. We are very pleased with the quality of work done as well. All staff were friendly and helpful. They can be a little pricier than other companies but well worth it in my opinion. I would highly recommend using this company.
Highly Recommend Your Company
The technicians are always professional and courteous. You are very fortunate to have a great bunch of techs. Adam was very thorough and courteous. Highly recommend your company.
Very friendly and efficient
I believe Ian is the name of the young fellow who serviced our furnace and AC. He was very friendly and efficient. He took time to explain everything he did. I hope we get him again.
Terrific Company
I have used RJ Down for all my furnace and AC services for 4 homes since 1973. They continue to be professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and very thorough. Terrific company. I highly recommend them.
He Was Extremely Polite
We had Jordan Shufelt as our service rep today. He was extremely polite and walked us through the process, and explained everything to us. Wish all service reps (no matter what company) took the time as Jordan did. 110%.
Yearly service performed professionally
My yearly service was performed in a professional and knowledgeable manner. The service experts also took the time to answer any questions I had.
Service Was Excellent and Well Worth It
Dale & Andrew serviced and cleaned our propane heater, and they did a great job. They were professional, thorough, and took the time to make sure everything was working properly before they left. The heater is now putting out wonderful heat, and the thermostat is working perfectly. We were very happy with the quality of their work and felt the price was very fair.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they arrived about 2½ hours later than expected, so we ended up waiting most of the morning and part of the afternoon. That said, once they arrived, the service was excellent and well worth it.
Overall, a very positive experience, and I would gladly recommend them for propane heater service and repairs.
Service was great
Justin and Alexzander installed a new hot water tank. Service was great: timely, helpful, thorough, and friendly.
