Starting with Eric, who came in to analyze the existing system and recommend what should be installed, and give me the quote, to guys who installed the system are great to work with. They did a wonderful job. They were very professional yet friendly. Eric gave me a couple of options, educated me about the discounts I can get with Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas if I go with the better and energy efficient system. He answered any questions I had before and after committing to them. The guys who came first did a great job but ran into an issue with the furnace. Jake came in the next day to get it to work quickly. They are confident of their work, so they want to get the inspections done on installations, which is great. Great customer service from Lindsey from the office too. I have set up maintenance contract for my other two older systems too. No wonder I see so many 5 star ratings for this company.
Have 5 HVAC systems installed in 2006. It was determined one of the units had a leak that could not be repaired and required replacement. I talked to a number of contractors and selected 3 for bids. Penguin stood out as a firm that not only didnt try to sell me, but thoroughly educated me on the options and process. I expected them to come in on the higher side, but were actually also the best value. The night before installation, I had to change the appointment and they were still able to come the same day, just later than originally planned. The techs that came out were professional and very respectful of our property, both inside and out. Slightly more than two hours after commencing, we had cool air back in the rooms this unit serviced. I highly recommend Penguin and will plan on using them in the future as well.
Really great service on a hot humid day that we so appreciated. We got solid advice about our aging AC units as well as needed service. Extremely fair pricing, combined with work efficiency left us very pleased. We will absolutely use and recommend them again.
I had a great Technician, Jake, come out within a day of calling. The problem was identified quickly and taken care of. Compared to some of the big guys out there, it was a nice change. I would highly recommend them.
Crew and contact person on time. Introduces themselves with Insignia of company visible. Work begins/ends smoothly. Crew quiet and efficient. Easy to talk to and responsive to questions.Original salesperson knows his products and introduces pos/neg sides of them. Offers appropriate equipment for size of our home. Writes up detailed proposal of work to be done on site and equipment to be installed. Licensing of contractors presented. Communication good with phone calls, texts to keep you updated on installation. Old equipment removed, area in garage and rear of home where outdoor unit will stand swept up of debris. This company has trained installers who know what to do and do it well. Detailed invoice presented at finish for payment. We were VERY HAPPY with our contacts with this company and would recommend Penquin Air Cooling & Heating to anyone interested in them.
Great first experience with Penguin Air. My tech, Jake, was courteous, on time, and professional. He even tolerated our dog asking for belly rubs. We did a HVAC maintenance plan so he checked and cleaned AC unit inside and outside and offered recommendations but wasnt pushy trying to upsell. Would highly recommend.
Our Salesman Eric came out and recommended the perfect system for us. Our installers Pierce and Chandler were amazing- they were on time both days, very professional, extremely polite and knowledgeable. Our job was completed and cleaned up and it was a very pleasant experience.Can’t say enough great things about this company and their group of people.Thanks so much for the way you do business-Would definitely recommend and we will be using them again.
They did an amazing job from start to finish! Eric explained everything in detail so that we would feel comfortable with the system chosen. I would highly recommend them for all of your heating/cooling needs. Thank you so much!
Our technician, Jake did a phenomenal job with assessing our AC issues and was very professional with educating us on options, solutions to maximize efficiency of our units. Have used Penguin for five years now...and will continue! Thank you for the awesome service!!!
The technician was very knowledgeable and even gave suggestions to help me save money for future maintenance. He was AWESOME!
I would highly recommend this company for any AC related problems
I had a new HVAC system installed a year ago. Then fall maintenance and now spring maintenance. Great company. Great technicians. Very competitive pricing. Appointments are easy to make and technicians arrive promptly. Thanks Penguin Heating and Air.
Penguin was great. They were professional and helpful. They also did the job less expensively than other places without sacrificing quality. Highly recommend them
I’ve been using Penguin Air exclusively for over 3 years now and I won’t use anyone else. They are always courteous and professional and very quick to respond. I give them a 10+ rating.
Air went out Penguin responded first thing on Sunday mornings and had a tech out and repaired it that afternoon, timely and affordable service, very happy.
They were on time friendly but professional and was sensitive to my schedule. A great experience. I recommend them to anyone.
He was on time. Friendly. Got in & got out. Great work! Thank you.
I found the sales person genuine, believing in Penguin and its products but concerned about my needs and the companys role in satisfying it. I found the installation team and administration professional.
I am deeply satisfied with Penguins services. Do not plan on using any other company for my Heat Pump. ❤️
They installed and AC unit a couple of years ago and did a great job! Had problems with my furnace. Jacob tried many options before replacing the motor. Very patient and did a great job! Will be calling on them in the future!
Very professional, arrive on time, masks and shoe covers. Very happy with the price and quality of service. Highly recommended.
Timely, professional, knowledgeable, and reasonably-priced. What else can you ask for?
Randy serviced an old Trane unit for me 13 years ago and won me over with his honesty, professionalism and compassion for my financial situation. Fast forward 13 years and he is the only Trane Installer I would consider. He competitively priced against companies representing different brands and oversaw the installation and service. A cutting edge company with old fashion values-Penguin Air should be your go-to!
HVAC inspection went smoothly and in a timely manner!
Penguin is excellent, from keeping in touch on semi annual and annual maintenance to how they communicate and are so transparent on all their services. It’s nice to work with a company you can trust and is responsive when you reach out. Shout out to our tech and the team who sets up our appointments. The text messages make it so easy!!
Penguin came out to repair a very old unit and after looking at it we came to the conclusion it was dead. They proceeded to sell me a very good unit at the best cost and installed it promptly and have maintained it since. A year later we had an issue and they sent a tech out on an hours notice in the busiest time of the year and fixed it immediately. This is the type of company you want to work with.
We have to RAVE here about the service we received from Penguin Air. Erik came out and gave us a amazing price for 2 AC units and a heating unit. He and his team of 2 did an outstanding job installing and also cleaning up after work work was completed. If you are in the need of heating or air, these are the guys to call. Penguin get 5 stars from me. If I could give 10 starts I would. You will NOT be dissapointed.Very reasonable, very personable, very professional, very competent in the work they provide. Thank you Penguin Air for an outstanding job!
Im going to keep this simple these guys are great explain everything in detail thats all it matters
Loved the welcome email, clearly stated expectations and even sent a picture of my technician. Highly recommended!
Weve used Penguin a few times over r course of our ten years here and they are always amazing. Today was a busy day for them as it was the first time a lot of us turned on our heat and they still got a repairman out to me within 2 hours of calling them. I never feel overcharged or taken advantage of. The techs are professional and polite.
This is my 2nd time using Penguin Air Cooling and their office and maintenance staff are great. I am not one to give 5 stars just to anyone but Penguin Air Cooling gets 5 out 5 star rating for their excellent customer service and excellent detail explanation of diagnostic and repairs done by maintenance techs. True professionals
They are always friendly. They work with you all the way. They explain the problem and how they fixed it. Its always a pleasure to work with their guys.
This HVAC company is superb! After purchasing a home we wanted an assessment of our HVAC system. We first called the prior owner’s HVAC company; it had no time for us, said they would call me back - never did.Being new to the state and area we happened to leaf through a local magazine. Penguin Air had an ad and I called. Yes, as advertised! Friendly, helpful, interested in my pursuit.Lindsey is a wonderful asset to this locally small company. Eric came out as promised, evaluated our 2003 HVAC dual system and proposed a package we simply could not turn aside. Installation crew was great, kept area clean and the 2-day job buttoned up in time!Don’t bother looking elsewhere. Penguin earns your business and delivers top quality equipment at phenomenal prices. It has certainly earned my respect and future care. Great job, Penguin!
We had a slight issue with service, but Randy resolved. They are always quick to respond, early to arrive, and service is great. Thanks again guys!
We are very happy with the HVAC Penguin installed in our 2200 sf basement which we were finishing. They were timely and professional and courteous with the other contractors we had onsite. Everything went smoothly.
Ive had a number of bad experiences with HVAC groups but this one stands on its own. These guys are terrific and would highly recommend their services. They are professional, prompt, communicative and most importantly, honest. Thanks guys.
Eric is an amazing sales representative. He takes his time explaining the entire process. He always quotes me the best price. He oversees the intire installation from start to inspection. I would highly recommend penguin air. I have never had a bad experience, the service guys are always on time very accommodating and capable. They never leave a mess . Never try talking me into unessacerry expenses. This is my third time using them for three different systems. They will always natch a competitive price. No bs
I am happy with the installation and the new Trane system. I was able to get reference from my friends who used Penguins. Their prices are very competitive too.
Great response and service. Thank you!
They have been great with phone support. Great technician who answered all of our questions. Got our heat system and now A/C system up to great running state. Great service.
Very professional, friendly, informed, and did a great job. Eric was great to meet with and get feedback from. He did an excellent job showing us all our options and helping us choose the best system for us.Tyler and Colton installed the units, and were clean, polite, and respectful of our home.Would highly recommend
Great service and quality work
Jacob our tech was great. We got a text with his picture when he was on his way and he came in the previously discussed window of time. He was able to get everything done in a timely fashion and was respectful to our baby sleeping by knocking instead of ringing the bell
We enjoy our new system as it is a huge upgrade from the one we had however I would have rated more stars if the teams overall communication was better. My husband and I were each told different things when it came to install time, scheduling inspections, etc. I can’t say whether or not we would recommend this company to our friends and family at this time as we are still waiting for a final (unexpected) inspection.
Excellent response & service.Jake, advises of HVAV air filter choices, quick duct check & replacement of thermostats with Smart Thermostats. Jake stayed until all worked properly and were registered.He also have a review of how they worked.They will be getting our calls.Thank you, Jake!
The young men were very professional and did a good job.
Penguin Air Cooling was recommended on 5/10/18 and that was the best experience I have every had when it came to home repair. Justin B. and he was very professional,honest, friendly and Very knowledgeable.Penguin Air Cooling and Heating is the Best and I will always use they and recommend they, because they are honest and they explain the issue to you very Clearly. Also they will email to you the confirmation along with a picture of the Tech...That really made me feel safe... Thank Penguin!
On time, always nice, honest, professional
We have used Penguin Air for the past several years and LOVE the service theyve provided and personal attention to our home. Randy and his team do an outstanding job. Very knowledgeable. Very friendly and courteous. Extremely responsive to anything weve needed related to our HVAC service. Outstanding job.
Penguin installed a new furnace for us. Great service! Randy took the time to explain our options, and even pointed out a rebate available from our power and gas companies that none of the other contractors told us about. Very happy.
Never returned my call back after a friend recommended them. Should be zero
Penguin Air has always been extremely professional and easy to work with both for emergency service and routine maintenance. Highly recommended!
Jacob was fantastic. He answered all the questions that we had and did a great job getting our ac back up and running.
Penguin has been a fabulous company. They are efficient and friendly. Their work is excellent!! They show up when they say they will. Scheduling is easy and quick. You dont have to wait days for an appointment.
We had a good service with this company. There was a electric issue in our house and they fixed that too. Thank you for your excellent service.
Great service! I had a tech from Morris-Jenkins come out and miss diagnosed my AC unit which almost cost us $1400. Luckily Jacob from Penguin AC was able to give me the real diagnosis, which turned out to be nothing and save us $1400!!!Needless to say I am no longer a member of Morris-Jenkins...
Great service, competitive prices. Replaced heat pumps and complete system. Good dealing with the owner of the company. Good follow up after systems installed .
Randy and his crew did a fabulous job. They were prompt, neat and tidy. They installed a complete heating and cooling system for a very reasonable price. They were highly recommended to me and they did not disappoint.
Weve been using Penguin for a few years now and been nothing but pleased. We have called them for all maintenance, repair, and most recently, 2 new HVAC systems. When we have called, they are usually out the same day. Theyre reasonably priced, professional, and I have never had a problem with the quality of work. Id be happy to recommend them for any AC/heating problems.
Its always easy to give bad reviews when a company messes up or you feel you were treated unfairly and the good reviews sometimes are just overlooked because thats how you expect to be treated for a service. Then there are the times when a company goes above and beyond AND gives you the best price. Thank you Penguin Air...thank you so much!
Gotta give these guys a shoutout, my condenser was frozen up, they came out on a Sunday and had my system blowing hard and cold within a couple of hours. Jacob Poole was the technician and was very polite and honest, also didnt mind answering my husbands zillion questions about preventive maintenance.
Did a great job fixing our AC
Great service and knowledgeable agents. Respect for your property and on time service. Cleans up behind themselves, which is very important.
100% recommend this company for heating and cooling needs. We have had to call them for both, and both times they came out the SAME day and made sure we were set. The first time was with blistering hot weather over the summer and they helped us out. This time we had a warranty on our home and used the company sent by the warranty, only to have Penguin come out and fix the other companys mess up and had left us with no heat. We called Penguin again knowing that we are expecting significantly cold weather and snow. Penguin came out the same day again and made sure everything was in proper working order. Christian was our technician and he was literally the nicest, most professional worker. Thank you Penguin Air!!!!
Great people, have handled our HVAC needs for years. Well priced and friendly, as well as professional. Quick as well.
Very responsive and thorough. Techs are very knowledgeable and do good work. Have used Penguin Air numerous times and they always come out recommended with everyone happy. Very honest and reputable company and a pleasure to work with.
Excellent sales and installation experience.
Fast and honest service!!
Wonderful service. Fast and reliable. I would definitely use again and recommend to anyone!
This is the only best air cooling and heating company in town.
Good folks.know what they are doing.Office girls especially pleasant to talk to
Was very impressed with their service. Jake was prompt, thorough, knowledgable, professional, and honest.
The technician was nice and knowledgeable about the process and the ac unit
Estimated, and installed in 6 hrs ! Everything was perfect . Quality work at a fair price installed three years ago everything works as expected.
I had a great experience with Penguin. My initial call was a very friendly exchange and they got a technician scheduled to come out right way. Thats invaluable when your house is 90 degrees. I really trusted Mike to get the job done and not try to sell me any unnecessary services. I like that I was sent a picture of the technician before he arrived so I wasnt just inviting anyone into my house (thanks, true crime podcasts, for making me so skittish about people coming into my home). My only confusion is that I was charged a diagnostic fee even though I had a repair over $200, which I thought the website said would be waived. That promotion may have started after I had my service though. I just noticed it. Anyway, I will definitely use them again when the need arises! Im very happy with my experience...and my much cooler house!
We had Penguin Air & Heating do an AC repair for us for the first time today. We were impressed with Randy and all the aspects of service from calling the office, to texting arrival times, to sending us a photo ID
I have used Penguin Air several times and the technicians have always been extremely helpful, curteous and professional. The technician just left my house after a Sunday service call that took him almost 2 hours of work to fix 2 A/C units. He spent the time to ensure the job was not only done right but was the most economical. I strongly recommend them for your HVAC needs. This company is also locally owned and operated as opposed to those large franchises, so you get that personal touch!
Competitive pricing, swift service, and very pleasant people.
Extremely dependable and very good customer experience.
Competitive pricing with very knowledgeable and professional tech and installation. They did not oversell my needs as competitors tried to.
Friendly Service and knowledgeable staff!
Quick, good pricing and very friendly.
Great, honest service. Wonderful to deal with.
Great customer service. Extremely professional.
I have been a customer for many years, and know I can trust them. They are doing a great job.
The tech, Jacob Poole was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.
Used penguin based on these reviews ...
Last January (2016) we were hunkering down and getting ready for the snow. In the middle of the night we woke up realizing how cold it was in the house. I did a search and found Penguin Air and they came out and made a run at making my old Gas Pack work. They got it up and running and stayed with it for a few days until we realized there was no use. The smarter thing to do was get a new Trane. and Randy worked on my problem as if I were the only customer. Great service, great responsiveness. I will stick with them from here forward for my HVAC needs here at the Ranch.....
I called Penguin Air for AC service, they came out immediately, fixed the problem I was very happy with there service.
** BEWARE ** ~ Penguin Air came to our home to evaluate our AC which was not operational. They did come the same day for about 15 minutes and said they would need to come back. Yes, you heard me right. We had the pleasure of sleeping all night in a house with no AC. They were back first thing the next morning and did diagnostic testing for about an hour or so. The technician made recommendations but said I would need to discuss it with Kristen in the office. They left yet again - who does that? Upon their 3rd and final visit, their recommendations had changed. Why, I am not sure? Honestly, in hine sight.... I shouldve gone with my gut and called for a second opinion so that is my fault in this fiasco. But when you are melting from extreme heat....you really just want AC and I had already come this far, right? We paid in excess of $500 to have the repairs they recommended performed. The AC was operational and was blowing cold air but I noticed that it seemed to be struggling ~ not operating as it should IMO. So I called the office - no answer so I left a message. Later the same day, I tried calling again - no answer again....I did not leave a message. Then I thought, how about trying to call from another number. It worked like a charm, Kristen answered on the second ring. How about that?? When I told her that our system seemed to be struggling, she said that she would have the owner call me. I asked her how long she thought that might be (as we were going into a long holiday weekend) she replied, Well, I am not going to drop what I am doing at the moment. I will have him call you later. OK...that was the first time anyone in a customer service industry had ever given such a response. You guessed it - now I am furious. To my surprise, the owner.... Randy, did call later that day shortly after 5 pm to tell me that he had discussed the diagnostics and repairs with the technician and that there was nothing else they could do. He asked me to call back if the system went out again. I guess so, Im thinking to myself wouldnt that be great to get another service call fee.Now here I am, 3 very short months later and my system has gone out again. UUUGGGHHHHH! Today it will be 97 degrees.The moral of my long but accurate depiction of the story here is ~ DO NOT CALL Penguin Air. IMO they are a low budget operation and are not just lacking in the customer service department (thanks Kristen) but also lack the necessary skills to repair the unit properly and quite frankly do not care as they move on to the next unsuspecting individual. But rest assured, you can always call back and pay additional fees to have them return and put an incompetent band aid on the problem. NOT!
