We had a great experience with DOWD the technician Francis was awesome. He was professional, thorough, and respectful. We have been using their services since we bought our home in 2017 and have no plans to change. What makes the organization better is the great people that work there from the women I work with to book appointments to the technicians that come to the house. All in all a pleasant and pleasurable experience. -

If you’re looking to replace your HVAC system, I highly recommend DOWD MECHANICAL, HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING in Bensalem, PA. I noticed an advertisement for Trane HVAC systems offering 50 months of zero-percent interest, and DOWD was listed as an installer.I left a message expressing my interest, and within 24 hours, Scott Fisher contacted me. Scott was knowledgeable, attentive, and listened to my concerns. He came to my home, presented three options, and helped me make my decision.Because my old system frequently overheated, he scheduled the installation for the Monday before New Year’s. The installation team arrived on time and worked throughout the day. I’m particular about neatness and attention to detail, and Dimitri and his team exceeded my expectations.They went the extra mile by installing plywood flooring on one side of the heater, making it safer to work on without risking damage to the floor. All wires and cables were neatly tied, and every bit of debris was removed.From start to finish, everything was completed in less than a week. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the professionalism and quality of service from DOWD.Let me know if you’d like me to tweak it further! -

I want to recommend Dowd Mechanical for their excellent, prompt, and thorough service. Fran, the technician, was on time and explained everything as he was completing our checkup. It is not often today that you get this high quality, courteous, and professional service. We are so happy that we retained Dowd and I would urge anyone looking for heating and air conditioning to use them as well. -

The Comfort Consultant was honest and gave us good options. Helped choose the best choice for our house. The gentlemen that installed our new system were great. They did a great job, left everything clean and working properly. I have had no problems since. We will continue to use their services going forward. After the install Dowd followed up and submitted our PECO rebate. :) -

I couldn’t be happier that I chose DOWD to complete an installation of a new heat pump system. I previously dealt with the company for a few service calls, and they provided excellent service; therefore, I elected to have DOWD install the new system. Scott provided excellent consultation for both products they install and was responsive for all of my questions. As it pertains to installation, Ryan, the lead mechanic delivered a high-quality product. The attention to detail that he took when installing the unit is apparent; all wires are pinned to the unit in straight/vertical lines, all of the plumbing aspects follow suit, the humidifier is centered and level on the unit. During the installation, Ryan was teaching and mentoring the apprentice, which shows DOWD’s commitment to develop quality mechanics. At the end of the job, they ran through all of the various features of the smart thermostat, life cycles for the humidifier and air filter, and best settings. The day following the installation, the office completed my product registration with the manufacturer, processed my PECO high-efficient rebate, and scheduled my first preventive maintenance. With all that said, choosing DOWD was the right decision, and I couldn’t be happier with my new system. -

After moving in to my new home & figuring my ac unit was completely busted I contacted Dowd Mechanical. Within a few days I was able to have a brand new system installed. The install team arrived on time and they were very professional & knowledgeable. The install was done in a few hours & was very clean & neat. Great experience overall I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. -

Scott F. came out to provide me with an estimate and answered all of my questions. There was never any pressure to sign any papers or go with a certain brand or model furnace/ac unit. I wasnt in a big hurry to have my system replaced as my 27 year old Carrier system was working fine, but it was on borrowed time. However, I think I decided to move forward on a Wednesday and the following Monday everything was installed.Terence and Ish came out to do the install and Ish (This guy is a warrior) was installing the AC unit outside in near blizzard conditions while Terence took care of business inside installing the furnace. I had a whole house humidifier installed also and so far everything is working just fine. As a matter of fact, the furnace made a suspicious noise the first time it started up which went away almost immediately and I was fine with it, but Terence ordered a new inducer motor and had it replaced the next day just to be sure. These guys definitely want to make sure that the customer is satisfied and arent happy unless you have a solid working system in your home. A+ from me for Dowd Mechanical. -

This was a complicated Split System HVAC installation between two floors, down through an inside wall, then through minimum inside conduit to the outside HVAC unit. The DOWD team did a great job of working through the installation challenges to optimize operation, and the curb appeal, of the HVAC system both inside and out. The site manager was a great team leader, working shoulder to shoulder every step of the way with DOWD’s experience technicians, while always taking care of my customer questions. It certainly was one of the best contractor experiences I’ve ever had. -

This is an update on my review from a year ago. If I was able to go above a 5 star review I would. Mike McCarty has been helping us with our HVAC issues from the first time we called DOWD and has been the most caring and professional individual we have worked with. Today we had a new system installed. Dimitri and Mike (not McCarty) installed the system and displayed the epitome of professionalism. They worked diligently from 8:50 am to 7:30 pm to ensure everything was done CORRECTLY! This company should take pride in hiring the quality professionals that they do. If you are in need of anything HVAC related do not hesitate to call DOWD. They are definitely the best in the area and we can’t thank them enough for everything. -

Thanks to all at Dowd-Fox. Chris the service rep was here on time. He was professional and efficient. He explained everything he did regarding our heater system check-up, made sure we were using the correct size filters, checked the thermostat control, did an air quality check and more. Its a good feeling to know our system is ready for what this winter may bring. -

I can’t thank Scott F for recommending his company enough for providing outstanding quality service. Matt B., who attended to the task today.

Dowd Mechanical heating and air conditioning is an awesome company. They are all the above good quality,professional,responsive, on time. They are also very informative and very clean. They let you know everything and when they are done they take the time to go over the unit and the work they have done. They clean after themselves and take their trash when finished. The technicians are very professional. I really 100% recommend this company for your heating and air conditioning installations and other services. I am very happy and pleased with their work. They get 10 stars from me. -

I have been using Dowds since 2011. They installed, our AC, gas furnace, and a mini-split in our garage. A last minute problem with my thermostat brought out them out promptly the Saturday before Christmas to repair. Great company, great employees, great customer service. -

Highly recommend. I needed a new HVAC system, inside and outside. The installer Dimitri McCoy and his partner arrived on time, were very professional and pleasant. The installation went very well.Dimitri was very detailed and precise with the installation of the inside unit. He wanted to make sure it was right. They worked a long day and then Dimitri came back to finish up. Dimitri reviewed the inside unit with me, all the parts, how to change the filter and marked things to help me remember.I can’t say enough good about the professionalism and knowledge of this team. -

We switched from another company to Dowd because the service we were getting was not satisfactory and the work was very questionable. Switching to Dowd was the right move! Our tech, John, arrived on time and was extremely thorough and informative during his visit. He made many of the issues from the other company right and he was communicative the entire way. I am thrilled we switched to Dowd and finally have peace of mind that our unit is being taken care of. Thank you! -

I highly recommend this company. I chose them to install a new HVAC system after interviewing several other companies this past spring. Work was 5 stars. This included 1st year free winter and spring maintenance. When I called to schedule for my winter service, their scheduler, Jeannine, was one of the BEST customer service reps I’ve ever spoken with. 5 stars for her, as well. Matt was the service person who came out to do the maintenance. 5 stars for him, as well! Dowd covers all the bases from their free estimate, installation, and customer service/ maintenance! I’m happy I chose them! -

Review 22 (2023-01-18 - Rating: 5)
I had a water heater installed in my home by Dowd Mechanical. Scott, the estimator came to my home and gave us a fair price and explained all details of the installation and options.The installation was professionally performed by Ishmel and Hugh. The water heater was relatively straightforward to install, but the expansion tank was a bit more of a challenge as there was not a lot of room above the water heater due to pipes, walls ext. The attention to detail and time spent to do the job correctly was very much appreciated, and the job turned out great. And yes, they even wore booties to protect my carpet and flooring, and left my home as it was when they arrived. I even received a follow up phone call the day after the job was completed by the office. Thank you to these awesome technicians, Scott and Dowd mechanical! -

Review 25 (2022-08-25 - Rating: 5)
We started using Dowd about 7 years ago after moving into our new home. A co-worker recommended them and we have not been disappointed. Our system was old even then, but they were able to do repairs as needed over the years. This year we decided to replace the system before it went out, and after getting estimates, we chose Dowd to do the replacement. Everyone we spoke and worked with was professional and courteous - from setting up the initial estimate to the installation (which they were able to schedule right before another heat wave hit). The team showed up bright and early, and by about 4pm everything was up and running. They went over the new system, the new thermostat, all the paperwork, and answered every random question. They even went room to room to make sure cool air was coming out of all the vents. I highly recommend Dowd for any of your heating and cooling needs. -

Dowd was recommended to me by a co-worker. Our heater fan stopped working. Even though I was not an existing customer of theirs they came out quickly order the part and made the repair quickly. I did check and their rates were fair. Ever since they have been doing regular maintenance on our system. They are always informative prompt and very polite. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any service they offer.Elaine Slook -

Scott came out to me on a Sunday morning to look at my AC unit. I knew I needed a new system as the one I have is 25 years old. Scott sat down with me to go over the options both with the system to choose and the ways to pay - all with no pressure and good information. They have a zero interest financing option right now which was incredible and offered a 5% discount if you pay in full. I also liked that they have been around as a company for a long time and have marked trucks - seems trivial, but there are a lot of shady businesses out there. I left a message for Scott later that day with my decision to get a new unit and he was back out with the proposal on Tuesday. The unit was in by 5pm on Friday, so less than a week total turnaround which I could not believe - especially during a heatwave. Scott told me that his team have been working late to make sure they see customers as soon as possible and that their answering service is always ready to take a message. The two guys that did the installation were great. They cleaned up well and even went into my attic to open up all my ducts which I have not been able to figure out myself since buying the home a year ago. My neighbor got a new unit from Dowd previously and they told me that their experience was also great and that they have been very happy with their unit since its installation. Installation comes with 1 year maintenance and is affordable for maintenance once that free year is over. Highly recommend. -

Had a new Trane heater and AC system installed in October. Scott, our estimator was awesome. Mike Suder and his crew were professional, polite and clean.Howard came out on 8/17 for our maintenance check up. He was on time, professional and friendly. Would highly recommend Dowd! -

We used Dowd to install a new heater, AC unit and hot water heater. They offered 0% financing with a credit card company which was an easy process. This allowed us to space out the payments with no interest.The installers were very clean and took their time to create as little mess to our property when rerouting duct work and Installing the new location of our equipment. They were very knowledgeable and explained everything on detail.It’s been over a year and we have since signed up for the maintenance contract with Dowd and they are always on time, friendly and professional.I have referred them to friends and family that have used them for everything for service to heater replacement.We had our senior citizen parents use them so that should tell you how highly we think of the company. -

I have been a customer of Dowds for many years and they are consistently top notch. The technicians are always friendly, polite and professional. They arrive on time, do their work quickly and use the newest technologies to accept payment. I receive receipts quickly by email. They went to bat with a manufacturer for me when there was a warranty issue, and it was resolved in my favor. Dowd has installed a new heating and cooling system and a new water heater and I intend to continue as a customer. Highly recommend. -

We have a Goodman heat pump manufactured and installed in 2019 (new construction). Have had issues three months after purchasing the home. Fast forward this year, A/C was running but not cooling. Then heat stopped working in the Fall. Contacted Dowd and technician John came out. He fixed the issue and was professional, intelligent, and kind. Seems like a nice and honest man. No complaints. The office ladies are also pleasant when you call. Thank you very much. -

I experienced this company for the 1st time when I bought my home and required a new AC/ Heat system 15 years ago. As the years passed through regular maintenance, you develop a friendship with them and know everyone on a 1st name basis.Recently I had a small repair, last minute and the OWNER Joe came out to my home and not only did he fix the problem, we shared a cup of coffee and he didnt charge me a dime. In my humble opinion, family owned businesses these days are the only way to go and the customer service which is NON EXISTENT anymore, but not with Dowds. They go up and beyond any expectations, clean, respectful, and not only do you feel a comfortable 8friendship, they become family!!+I cant say enough AMAZING things about this friendly, family owned business and I wish them continued success in abundance!!Thank you Dowd family!!+ -

What a great experience I had with Dowd Mechanical. The technicians Mike S. and Jim were professional, courteous and very attentive to my needs. They worked clean and quickly. they took care of all my needs and any issues that arose. They even made sure my dog didnt escape through the gate as they had to install things outside. Scott Fisher was also great when he came to our house and did the estimate for replacement of our AC & Heating units. He explained everything in detail and I feel gave me a very fair estimate. I will use them for all my heating and air conditioning services -

We purchased our HVAC system from Dowd in September 2019. Scott explained everything, and the installation was excellent. Since the installation, we have annual maintenance visits scheduled in the Spring for the AC, and the Fall for the Heat. Dowd has great customer service, both in the office, as well as the technicians. Matt was recently here for the Spring AC check up, he explained everything, and made sure the system is operating optimally. Thanks to the Dowd team for such great customer service! -

I recently had a new oil furnace installed by Dowd, and I am very pleased with their work. Terence was my main point of contact, and he was very helpful in suggesting the best furnace for my home with no pressure to purchase. He was friendly and always quick to respond to any inquiries I had. Mike and Dimitri installed the furnace and they were great as well. They were as quiet as they could be while here, and cleaned up everything when they were finished. Everyone was professional and courteous, and Shonda in the office was also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dowd! -

I highly recommend Dowd Heating & Air Conditioning. Our heater failed in the middle of winter and they were quick to respond to the situation. The technicians were friendly and efficient. Their workmanship was impressive, as they worked hard from the time they arrived until they left, completely focused. I especially appreciate them taking the time to explain everything about the new system as well as the maintenance, in a way that I could really understand. They kept everything extremely clean requiring no additional clean up for us once they finished! The owner, Joe Dowd, is a great guy who runs a great business. Honest and professional. Thank you for your service! -

Weve been using Dowd for years and are very happy with the service we receive. On our most recent service call our technician, Jim, arrived on time and quickly identified the problem and discussed our options.

From the initial service call to the follow up, Dowd always makes sure that they have satisfied customers. -

We used Dowd recently to install a new heat pump to replace an old oil furnace. Scott, provided us with quotes in a timely manner and answered all my pre-purchase questions. Installers (Mike and Ryan) as well as their other techs have all been polite and professional. The system we chose was not cheap, but I believe the best on the market. Overall, very pleased by this companies responsiveness. The new heat pump has kept a very consistent even temperature throughout our home (not the big swings in temperature we had with our furnace). Looking forward to all the money we will be saving on our energy bills. -

Finally had to make the decision to trash the old systems and bring in the new. I had several mechanical companies come out to assess our situation, discuss options, including getting their take on high efficiency units and whether or not they were right for us. Dowd set themselves apart from the rest. They were honest, provided a fair quote, and I felt comfortable selecting Dowd to do the work. Their office staff was very diligent in returning calls and providing additional information when I requested it. The installation took 3 days due to having 2 separate full systems. The installation team was very personable, took time to answer questions and made sure I fully understood the system and the electronic thermostats. The quality of work looks very good and the cleanup after the job is exactly what you would expect. I would not hesitate in recommending Dowd. -

Will definitely use Dowd again. They were able to come out to clean my heater within 2 days of calling and were within the time frame they provided. Scott was polite and efficient and gave his honest opinion of what to do with my aging heater. Received a follow-up courtesy call the next to make sure everything went okay. Diana gave me more advice about purchasing a new heater and when the best time to do it is to save money. I recommend them to anyone in the area. -

Very happy with the level of service provided by Dowd. Our furnace fried in the middle of winter and we needed a whole new system installed. Dowd was very responsive and they worked around my schedule. They quickly diagnosed the issue and provided the estimate. I didnt feel like I was being upsold (which is a huge turnoff!). The day of install, the service men showed up on time and performed the work quickly and efficiently. They were very considerate of the fact that I work from home...they even texted me if they needed to come upstairs as to not interrupt me (or make the dogs go nuts!). They also called a few days after install to make sure I was happy with the work. Very, very pleased and would highly recommend! -

I have been using Dowds Mechanical Heating & Air Conditioning service since 2007 when they put in my heater and AC unit. They are responsive & have wonderful employees like Mike. He did a fantastic job yesterday when my AC went out. He checked everything to ensure it was just the one issue. Joe guarantees the work & is the kindest, hard working person I know. I refer them to everyone & will only use their services as it’s done promptly, professionally, with kind employees, & guaranteed work. If I could give them a 1,000 stars I would.

Mike, Matt and Paul installed a brand new Furnace and central AC system in our home yesterday and I was so impressed. They were on time, professional, and worked hard the entire day. When it was complete they cleaned up everything and showed us how everything works and said if we have any questions or issues to give them a call. I will definitely recommend Dowd to friends and family that need any related work done in their homes.Update: my house flooded and my new furnace was ruined and my water heater also broke so I called Dowd to come back and replace these units and again they were awesome! Scott made sure to make my install a priority since I was living without hot water and my techs were Matt and Ish, two of the nicest professionals I have ever met! Thank you guys!! -

It was time to bite the bullet and invest in a new heating and air conditioning system as well as a new hot water heater. We had used Dowd for minor repairs before and were very pleased with them so we asked them for an estimate. They gave us a great deal and were able to fit us in within a week. The weather on the day of our installation was miserable....rained all day. Scott and Terrence not only did a great job with the installation, they were a pleasure to have around. Nice guys with great senses of humor and not one complaint about being in and out of the rain. Would definitely recommend them. -

We have used Dowd since last spring since we lost our old air & heating repairman. Last year we had an emergency on a Sunday & a friend said her neighbor used Dowd so I looked them up & decided to call them. They were very responsive & came out that day. After they fixed the problem, I asked about an annual contract. I got the information & a couple weeks later, called to set it up. Terrence was just here for my renewal checkup of the system & I have to say that they have been extremely honest, kind, thorough & go out of their way to help. The follow up is exceptional including Diane in the office. We are very pleased with Dowd & feel like we have known them for years. We are very happy we found such a good company to work with. Thank you all. -

Our AC wasn’t working correctly, so we called Dowd as first time customers. We were thrilled with the speed, professionalism, and quality of service. We couldn’t get over how nice everyone was, even People weJust spoke to on the phone!We needed a brand new condenser unit and they got it out to us ASAP. John from Dowd came out to install it and did a great job and was nothing but courteous with both me and my wife. We were very impressedwith Dowd. They’ve just made committed customers of us! -

I was experiencing issues with lack of heat in my second floor radiators. Did not know who could address the issue. Went on line and found Dowd. Took a chance and gave Dowd a call. My call was received by a charming gracious lady who scheduled my appointment. At the appointed time a Dowd technician, Jim came, quickly identified the issue, parts were ordered and Jim returned in a timely manner and now my second floor radiators are as warm as toast. I will definitely use Dowd for all my hvac in the future and hopefully Jim will return to again trouble shoot. I highly recommend Dowd. I believe you will receive courteous, professional and knowledgeable service to address any issue you may be experiencing. -

I was quite upset when I realized I had to replace my air conditioning and heating unit. Joe when he came to give the estimate was straightforward and helpful. He explained what was necessary very clearly and professionally. In addition Diana was very reassuring whenever I called with an assortment of questions. The service tech in charge of my job worked very well, did not waste time, and explained what I needed to know very clearly. All in all it was a good experience and I would be happy to recommend Dowd. -

Ive never experienced the kindness that Dowd has bestowed upon me. I have deep sincere thanks to the owner for paying it forward and helping me with getting my heating system fixed free of charge. Im truly grateful and its restored my faith in humanity. Im a single homeowner and have had a lot of difficulty keeping up with what goes along with it and this just helped me out more than I can express. Wendy at the organization is also incredibly kind and follows up with everything. I will recommend them to everyone I speak to going forward. Thank you again. Sincerely Beth Peters -

Dowd installed a new AC system for us last summer and they did an excellent job! Our AC died two days before our vacation. They came out quickly to give us an estimate and worked with our schedule. They were here to install the day after we arrived home from vacation. They helped us with 0% financing as well. -

We woke up on Saturday morning with no heat. Dowd was able to get a service tech out to us before noon and after reviewing our options, had a salesman back out to us the same day to discuss replacing our 31 year old unit. The work was completed 2 days later on Monday and weve been living in comfort ever since. Mike and his helped were great with the installation and very clean. Aside from the unplanned expenses of replacing a 31 year old unit, we couldnt have had a better experience with Dowd. -

If you are looking for a heating and air conditioning service company, I highly recommend Dowd. Every department is focused on customer service. Their technicians are experienced and very knowlegable, answering all my in questions in detail. I have had a heating system installed, and regular maintenance visits. On a recent maintenance call, the tech measured the air quality in my house, and showed the levels to be borderline high. Although Jim recommended an Air Scrubber, I did not feel pressured to buy it. Since I suffer from allergies, I opted to get one, which was a quick installation in the duct. The air quality will be checked again in the spring, when I expect to see more healthy levels.Overall, Dowd offers the highest quality service, which is often hard to find. -

We have been using Dowd for repairs for a couple of years now on our old system and decided to use them to install a much needed new HVAC system. It was yet another great experience overall. Scott helped us choose the right system for our home and made recommendations to fix some issues with our previous install with very fair pricing. Likewise, Mike and Dimitri did a fantastic job with installation. They were professional, thorough, and extremely clean. Shonda then assisted us in getting our PECO rebate after the install. It was a seamless process from start to finish. We are so happy to have an HVAC system we can rely on and will not hesitate to call Dowd with any issues we have. We recommend Dowd to all of our friends and family as well. Thanks again! -

Dowd Mechanical came out same day as my service request and diagnosed the issue within an hour.

I contacted Dowd for a seasonal service. Immediately before the service our AC went out. I called and informed the office of our problem. The staff was extremely helpful and scheduled the technician to come out earlier and prepared him for the issues I described. He was able to quickly diagnose it as a bad capacitor, which he replaced with one he had on hand.Jim the tech was very professional and was knowledgeable about all the equipment at our home. In addition to correcting the AC and heating issue, he ran an air quality check of our system and explained the readout data to me. He needed to drill some holes in the venting to test for the temperature and air quality and when complete, covered all the evidence of that work.I have used Dowd and several other HVAC companies for other properties. I highly recommend Dowd for all related services and use them for my home property exclusively. They are honest, reliable and consistently well trained. -

An update to my review of last year. Dowd continues to provide excellent HVAC support to our home. Weve had a maintenance contract with Dowd for a number of years, and they have provided consistently excellent service so that we are confident going into the winter or fall season that our systems will perform to their max. On one occasion our furnace blower died, and we called Dowd to come out and they immediately had a tech to our home, diagnosed our issue and replace the dead part. Heartedly recommend. -

They were extremely punctual, clean, detail oriented, and insistent on making sure the customer was satisfied. If I had not made it clear, I am extremely satisfied.

Let me say that Dowd provided a first class experience all the way around starting with the owner Joe who answered all my questions when we were deciding who would get our business. The techs worked late on the first day to get the heat pump and new hot water heater up and running. Both Scott and Steve are aces and they followed up the next day to clean up some odds and ends they were unable to complete on the first day. When they had finished up, Scott explained how the new system worked and what we could expect from it. They were very clean and very professional throughout and I cant recommend this company enough. If youre in the market for a new system, definitely give Dowd a call. Thanks to everyone at Dowd HVAC! -

Prompt, professional, friendly, accommodating, honest. To be more specific, during a routine maintenance of the furnace in our recently purchased home, they spotted a potentially dangerous safety issue that would require us to not minimally use our furnace until was replaced.

Our A/C system stopped working suddenly. Called Dowd at 630pm on one of the hottest days of the summer. Left a message with the service request operator. Had a phone call back within 20 minutes. Was told a technician would be out in an hour or so. Within a hour the technician was at my house. He went over my system. Did a full detailed diagnostic check explaining everything he was doing step by step and what the readings and results meant. Diagnosed it as a bad capacitor and said he had one on the truck to fix it. After replacing the capacitor he double checked all the electrical readings to make sure there was no further problem that would damage the new part. Absolutely the best service experience I have had with a contractor. I would highly recommend if you need service for your HVAC system call Dowd. You will not be disappointed. -

I don’t think I have ever reviewed a company online, but I also have never had such an EXCEPTIONAL experience with a service company.Professional, kind, quick, efficient. My 18 year old unit was shot, which happened on one of the hottest days this year! After first coming out, the owner came back with a standing air conditioner, that he set up himself, to get us buy until the unit was replaced (before I signed it set up anything with the company) because I have three kids with asthma. He even came out and did the job with one of his workers (who was also kind, respectful and efficient) when the other worker wasn’t able to come out the day we set up which was the Saturday before Labor Day!).I have never had such a great experience with a service company.

Scott did a fantastic job of handling my AC issue. The most important element of his service was his honesty. As all mechanical/electronic novices know, being taken advantage of is a real possibility. He let me know that my HVAC unit was working properly but the issue existed with the thermostat itself. That honesty led me to purchase a 3 year service from him. His ability to communicate the issue and fix it in a timely manner without adding on unnecessary service is much appreciated.The customer service team of Dowds was great as well. I made a call in the morning and received service a few hours later. The team maintained communication when an earlier appointment fell through and they asked whether I was available earlier. After working with many companies that fail to fulfill their obligations on a Friday, Dowds attentiveness to the customer was a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend them. -

The tech even gave us his personal phone number to let him know if we had any issues. Would definitely recommend! -

I called Dowds Heating & Air the morning after Thanksgiving with no heat in our building. We were not a prior customer. I knew it was going to be a great experience when the receptionist was pleasant and answered the phone. She forwarded my service need to Scott Murphy. He made time in his already scheduled out day to check our building. He found a problem that other service people from several different local businesses did not find who temporarily patched the problem over the last two years. You have our business going forward. Thank you so much! -

We called Dowd Mechanical on Sunday night, October 29th when I noticed our oil furnace shut off. I left a message and on Monday morning I spoke with Diana. She set me up with Scott who stopped by at the end of the work day. He figured out what we needed and on Tuesday afternoon stopped by at the end of the day and installed the part. While there, he noticed another problem that needed fixing. He assessed the problem and came back the next day and fixed that problem, along with tightening up some loose wires..He did a tune-up on the unit and so far, it runs great. Scott was great, with a great knowledge of what he was doing....and very patient, even though it was more than planned.Diana in the office was great, but Scott was fantastic. He didnt even mind me watching him the whole time. You get what you pay for, and no corners were cut in the repairs made. I will have them back each year for a tune upJeff J -

Dowd has been a wonderful service. We used a different company for almost 12 years and recently switched, and we could not be happier with out service. John was excellent! He was kind and patient, and explained everything to us. We are so happy we switched to Dowd and we highly recommend them to everyone. -

We had a very unusual problem with our air turning off and eventually on. Terrance came out immediately. After looking into everything that may have caused the problem he was puzzled but he figured it out and fixed it. In his 24 years of being a tech he has never come across something like this. I must say Terrance by far is the best. Air is up and running beautifully. Thanks Terrance. Youre the best! -

Highly recommend this company!! Needed a new unit, they were a few days out for install, they new we had a family member going through chemo and the temps were going to be in the high 80s, the owner came and lent us a floor unit to help my mom get through the hot days during her chemo.

This was an extremely positive experience. From the time I purchased the unit until the time it was installed.The guys explained everything that they were going to do. They were neat and cleaned everything up.They took the time to show me everything I needed to know about the new unit. Filters etc. Helped me in setting up the new thermostat. I cant say enough about how professional the entire team was.I would strongly recommend this company to anyone. Your team is a class act! -

My AC unit stopped working on a humid, 94 degree day and I called multiple companies looking for a technician to come out the same day without any luck. Thankfully, I reached out to Dowd and their technician, Terrance, was fixing my AC unit within a few hours of my call! He was personable, knew his stuff, did a great job explaining the work he performed and even shared a few cost effective tips. I’m thankful to have found such a prompt and honest company! Thanks again, Terrance! -

We had an emergency and our unit was only blowing warm air. I discovered this after I came home from work and called Dowd around 7 PM. Scott arrived in less than in an hour and was able to diagnose the issue with ease in a matter of seconds. He was able to fix our ac which was a relief since I am not home during work hours.I also had called in the winter as I was experiencing an unusual sound from our heat pump. I was advised by another HVAC company that it would need to be replaced. I called Dowd and Scott recognized the noise as part of the defrost cycle and saved us potential hundreds of dollars. I highly recommend and will use them in the future. -

Dowds is a great company. The employees are very friendly and professional. Scott let me know what was wrong with our system and what needed to be done. The parts took a couple days to get here but only because that particular part was coming from California. The system is working better than it has in years. Dianna was also very helpful keeping me up to date with appointments and how long I would have to wait, which wasnt very long at all. -

We had such a great experience with Dowd. We had two other companies come out to “fix” our A/C without a resolution and exorbitant prices.

The problem was identified and fixed all under a fair price. Dowd has lifelong customers in us! Thank you! -

My technician was Scott Murphy who is very professional and knowledgeable!

I usually dont write reviews but I was so impressed with Dowd and Terrence, their tech, that I needed to write about it. Our HVAC unit stopped working; the blower in our unit broke. I called many companies and no one could come out right away. Im 5 months pregnant and already feel hot even with the AC on. I called Dowd and they were able to send a tech the same day. Terrence was amazing. He located the piece we needed, traveled to pick it up, and came back to install it. He didnt leave until our HVAC unit was fixed. THANK YOU Dowd for keeping this pregnant lady cool! -

My heating and air conditioning units both needed to be replaced. The service technicians were prompt, courteous and professional. The workmanship was meticulous. The Technicians took the time to explain both systems, their maintenance and upkeep. They also went over programming the thermostat, the filter locations, how to clean them and where to purchase new filters. The crew took the time to put down drop cloths from the front door to the service area. The owner, Joe Dowd runs a first class business, I highly recommend Dowd Mechanical Heating & Air Conditioning. -

Used Dowd awhile ago for a Friday night A/C emergency at my mother-in-laws. Service was so outstanding I immediately added Dowd to my phone contacts list. Well, I had to call them for A/C condensation leak this 100 degree weekend. Scott arrived, diagnosed the problem and even checked the units cooling range to see if running efficiently. Service was once again outstanding. Scott was courteous, friendly (and an excellent judge of garage décor). Will definitely call Dowd for any future heating/cooling issues. -

Its been a few days since out A/C system installation and so far everything is looking good. The installation of a Trane system took two full days, and the crew dealt with a few issues that stretched the time longer than expected. This included a hot attic, non-working attic fan, and a few wiring issues.In choosing Dowd we went with a company that had the ability to do the job themselves without pulling in additional help, which a smaller outfit might have to do. There was an issue or two with them arriving late on the first day, but by the end of the second day they had four trucks outside our house with all hands on deck to get the installation completed.Well be looking to have them quote a new furnace in the near future. -

Received a quote from Scott about a heat pump. Scott came out on a sunday outside of normal business hours to accomadate me. He was knowledgeable about the products and even offered financing options. Mike Suder and John Holmes preformed the install. On the day of install they were punctual, polite and efficient with the time. Cant wait to see the savings from my new heat pump. Overall a great experience.Update:A week after installation my heat pump was tripping the circuit when temperatures dropped. I called Dowd and told them what was happening. They were very empathetic, came out same day and discovered my circuit needed to be upgraded and did so for free. Great customer service. -

Dowd Heating and Air Conditioning, and more specifically the technician who came out to evaluate my gas furnace (Scott) are awesome. I had another company come out to service my unit - they gave me a list of potential issues, and items that I should replace. Also they recommended that I just purchase a new furnace as mine was so old, and at this point you will just be replacing parts on it. Needless to say I wanted a second opinion - Scott gave me that second opinion, which was basically that my furnace was working perfectly at the moment, and while it is old and near the end of its useful life, why replace it now when it could last another 4 or 5 years? That was good advice from an honest technician, and from someone who wasnt trying to sell me something, but had my best interests in mind. That is exactly what Im looking for when it comes to someone servicing anything on or in my home, and for that reason, I will from now on be using Dowd Mechanical Heating and Air Conditioning, and requesting Scott in the future. -

UPDATE: November 2017 - I was so pleased with Dowd Mechanical Heating and Air last time (as mentioned below), that I called them again. My heater broke on one of the coldest days of the year. I called on a Saturday morning and someone was at my house in less than 2 hours; thats incredible service! They diagnosed the problem and had a new heater installed very quickly. I appreciated the owners no-pressure approach. He took time to show me the issue, then presented me with several options to choose from. Overall, another great experience.

Belated review. My air stopped working in late August when temperatures reached 90 degrees! Called Dowd, explained the situation, Joe Dowd was giving me an estimate 2 hours later. Before leaving he called his office and had an employee deliver and hook up a portable air in my bedroom (82 years old and probably looked 83😜). 3 men came to remove old heater and air and installed new systems. Great job. Answered all my questions! Highly recommend! -

Replacing your HVAC system can be a pretty painful process. I am so glad I was referred to DOWD! They make the whole process a breeze. They are very thorough, very responsive, they answer all the questions you have. When Scott came out for an estimate he was very professional, explained everything in detail, he even had a printer in his van to print out estimates. He showed us a few units to choose from. Rachid and Ismail were the ones installing the unit and they were great! Scott came out two days after to check if everything was working fine. Dianna and Amanda from the office called a few times throughout the whole process to follow up and see if I had any questions. They take checks, credit cards and they also offer financing.

Dowd AC was great. They came out very quick to see what was going on with our AC unit. We knew that it was going to be time to get a new AC as ours was 20+ years old and just not working properly anymore. They provided a few different quotes so we had options on different units. Once we knew what we wanted they told us it would be 2.5 days to get the new unit up and running, but they were able to get it done in 2 days just before the 97 degree temps hit us! Terence & Rachid were professional and very friendly. They made sure to keep things as clean as possible and if any debris fell onto the floor they cleaned it all up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a Heating and AC company.Side note--Remember to offer these guys cold water! Its hot in the attic! -

Theres nothing more frustrating and costly than your A/C & Heating unit biting the dust! What eased my pain though was the fact that I absolutely 100% chose the right company to suggest the right replacement unit, schedule me for installation asap, and send quality and friendly technicians to perform the work! From Scott making time for me to come out and assess our situation and suggest the best replacement unit, to the pleasant office staff scheduling our visit, and then Terrance and Mike professionally performing our installation in what can only be described as a Monsoon. Even my dog was perfectly comfortable having these gentlemen in and out of my home during the storm doing the install! As a customer, they are my Go-To HVAC company now!

Dowd Mechanical is a family-run business and it shows. Recently during the coldest December I can remember in my lifetime, my heater decided to quit.Like many parents, my first thought was the welfare of my family and the corresponding helplessness was overwhelming, that is until I called Dowd Mechanical.Karen and Joe, the owners, were completely empathetic to my situation and they even made room for my appointment with a booked scheduled. I was presented with options from the most economical to the most effective to address the situation and all were explained to me in full detail. I felt completely at ease with the options, explanations and recommendations. Their honesty and workmanship was not only appreciated, but also refreshing.Ultimately, they were able to provide me with a temporary fix to provide my family warmth while an install of a new heater could be arranged. They saved the day.In short, I knew my familys welfare was personal to Dowd Mechanical and it showed from the first phone call. I wholeheartedly endorse Dowd Mechanical and Karen and Joe for anyones heating and air conditioning needs. -

My A/C unit was installed by another company who didn’t even call me back despite the fact thAt I pAid them $250 for a maintenance contract. Karen sent Mike out to our house and he diagnosed our problem and got it working even though we needed a part thT had to be ordered. At the height of the pandemic parts weren’t coming in quickly.

Scott M. from Dowd came out around 7pm and was extremely pleasant and helpful, even though I am sure he had been working in hot homes all day. He fixed the problem and got my AC working. He then took time to look in my attic to provide an estimate for me for something else, even though this was the end of his day. I will use this company again. -

After being turned down by several other companies in our area, Dowd’s HVAC agreed to come out and take a look at our very unique HVAC issue and by the next business Day had two technicians at our house to complete the work. They were professional and friendly and did a great job, and we will continue to use them for all of our HVAC needs. -

My Air Conditioning broke last night and Dowd Heating and Cooling came out right away. The mechanic quickly fixed the problem and was very fair with the price for coming out on a holiday weekend. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants deal with a contractor that you can trust. -

I had a broken ac that required an electrical fix. Scott was great from start to finish. He did all the work he could to get the ac running for me the same day with a short term fix. This was particularly helpful because the ductless unit I use is in my home office and it’s far to warm with no ac. But the temp fix was perfect. Then, Scott went above and beyond by coming out to do the permanent fix on Saturday (fathers day weekend) on his day off. And the final bill... $0. Two trips and working on his day off and it cost me nothing.I can’t say enough good things about Dowd and even more about Scott. Thank you! -

We needed a new heat pump system, so we called around to several local HVAC businesses some big, some small. Dowds was by far the best company to deal with. Joe Dowd jr came out and gave us a very competitive price. We finally narrowed it down to two companys. After speaking with Joe Dowd Sr. the decision was made Dowds Mechanical was our company. Joe Dowd Jr. was great when it came to scheduling the installation it was whenever we were free not when they were free. Dowds are a great company to communicate with quick email responses, excellent in explaining how the process would work, did everything for use, registered the equipment for the warranty, did the Peco Smart rebate. All we did was watch the installation.The Guys showed up on the morning of the installation, Bob and Terence. EXCELLENT JOB GUYS!!! Clean, neat, professional, friendly. They worked the whole day stopped once for a quick lunch break. Workmanship is top of the line!! The new unit looks great. The sheet metal work looks awesome, all the lines are straight, and neatly tied together. We could not be happier with the install.Dowds is a great company to deal with and will always do my HVAC work!Thanks Guys -

Dowd came out on same day (same afternoon actually, within 2 hours) and had our AC unit up and running within 10 minutes. The technician was beyond professional, polite and super friendly. He explained everything to me twice, so I could relay the information correctly to my family. -

On 1/18/24 my heater died the temperature was around 20 degrees outside I called Dowd /Fox they came out right away and found multiple issues going on with this heater due to a faulty installation from another heating company they really went out of their way to get heat back in the house so I was offered some options on new heaters I picked a better Goodman system and it turned out there was an availability problem they got back to me and offered to upgrade me to a Trane system for no extra cost so I am more then happy on how things worked out also I would like to thank Scott ,Matt , Ishmael and Steve on the top quality work on the heater and duct issues I was having I would recommend these guys to anyone -

This is my first time posting a review, however I had an amazing experience with Dowd. My AC went out 2days before July 4th and I had the people who installed ( Fahrenheit) the AC come out and assess the situation. They came out and told me is was the compressor on my AC unit that needed to be fixed and that I would be better off getting a new AC unit as opposed to fixing the compressor, because its about the same price. My AC unit was only 4yrs old and covered under warranty. They would not accept the factory warranty, because I did not get THEIR regular scheduled maintenance on my AC unit. I truly felt like Fahrenheit was trying to get over on me because I was a female . I refused to accept that, so I called Dowd. Scott called me and I let him know the situation and he gave me a time he would be coming. He was prompt and did a detailed assessment of the problem more than what Fahrenheit did. Scott saved me thousands of dollars. He told me it was not the compressor it was the compactor something that assists the compressor ( I hope Im getting the name right). It took him less than 30 minutes to solve my problem and get my AC running again. I will definitely use Dowd again, and I have already recommended them to a co-worker.
