Josh is super friendly and knowledgable. We had a problem that wasnt easy to track down, and he patiently brought me through all the potential causes. After discussing our situation for a good while, he figured out where the issue was and fixed it in short order. I recommend their service to anyone needing an electrician.

Josh was awesome. We had an electrical emergency and needed someone to come out ASAP. Josh arrived within the hour of us calling and helped us out tremendously. Great work, honest person with integerity, very fair pricing. I highly recommend him for any electrical and/or heating & air needs.

Had Josh come for a maintenance of 4 units and to diagnose an issue with one of my heaters. Very informative on what problem was impacting my heater. Gave me multiple options at different price points. Respectful and fair.

Very professional and courteous. Josh did a great job finding all of our little nuances to our crawl space and attic. We look forward to seeing what Josh can do for us to make her home more energy efficient. Oh and Sally, the snake is no longer in the insulation... Little rat snake surprised him.

Josh answered our text/call way past your typical business hours. We had an immediate need and he adjusted his calendar next morning to fit us in. He kindly offered us a floor AC unit to borrow so our child and senior dog had cold air for the evening. His service was amazing. He fixed our problem, his pricing is extremely fair, he’s so friendly, knowledgeable and kind. I will be referring him to all our friends and family who may need service in the future. Very thankful for finding this small business and Josh helping our family! Thank you!!!!

Josh is an awesome dude. He and his wife were super helpful and polite. Josh treated the repair as urgent even though it was minor because he wanted to make sure everything was on point before it got too hot. I highly recommend and am thankful

Josh was incredibly helpful, down to earth, and accommodating to our needs/budget. He was also extremely responsive to our request when our AC went out entirely this summer.

Josh was prompt in taking care of an urgent electrical matter at our home. Very professional and courteous. Took the time to explain everything he was doing and offered further suggestions. Even reported a gas odor in our driveway I otherwise would not have noticed yet. Would recommend to anyone!

Josh came out the same day I called to take care of an electrical problem that had been plaguing my HVAC unit. Very grateful for his expertise and speedy assistance.

Review 11 (2024-01-21 - Rating: 5)
Josh is fantastic, he did a full rewire on a 1940s house for us in Charlotte under a permit, and was always responsive to every question or concern we had. He also handled our HVAC repairs. He is the rare skilled tradesman who is unfailingly honest and fair. I recommend him without reservation for any job, big or small.

Review 12 (2024-06-28 - Rating: 5)
Josh is the best. He is always available and incredibly knowledgeable about his craft. Heading into the summer months, if anyone needs AC help, call this man. If you’re having heating problems in the winter, call him.

Bear with me for you will want to not stop reading this review. This review is the only review that you need to pay attention to when considering Josh and Blue-Collar Trades, L.L.C. Where should I begin. I had called Josh to come give me a quote on the same day as his much larger than life competitors.On May 25, 2024 I realized my AC unit was on its last days or minutes so I decided to shop around for HVAC contractors. The first one that came was a local household name but to my surprise, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. All I sense was here is a number, give us a call. We would love your business but we dont love you. Second contractor came and went. Much better than the first. Finally, it was Blue Collar Trades, L.L.Cs turn. Josh had come out in hopes of getting me a quote for a new outdoor unit along with an indoor evaporator coil unit only to find himself spending at least 2 plus hours fixing another contractors bad work. Joshs attention to detail and his sharp sense of smell picked up a small gas leak. Unlike the first two contractors, Joshs attention and commitment to his business and the safety welfare of clients he serves resulted in him not making a penny even though he worked tirelessly in the hot summer heat attic sweating away.Remember, Josh did not have to do anything. He could have just walked away but he didnt. He saw a potential safety hazard and out of the goodness of his heart, meticulously worked out the problem using the knowledge God gave him. Throughout the entire time he was fixing someone elses issue. he never complained about the heat and the hard work. In case everyone has forgotten Josh came to quote a unit for me but instead, came and fix a problem someone else had created for me, the homeowner. While doing the free fix for me, we had a great chat about HVAC, construction, integrity, and life. When Josh finally said the problem was fix I knew right then I didnt care about the other two quotes. Josh won my business not because he provided the lowest quote out of the three contractors.Throughout our short conversation time I realize we need to help the people who helps us. Joshs company may not be the largest in town but one thing is for sure, his heart and his passion for what he does and why he does the things he does is larger than most if not many of his competitors. In today’s time it is rare to find qualities such as those exhibited by Josh and his company, Blue Collar Trades, L.L.C. To set the record straight, I’m not in anyway affiliated with Josh and his company but knowing what I saw today, I’ll gladly be a client of his. You may ask, why am I so confident in Josh and his company? You ma be surprise if I said that Josh’s business ethic and model begins with goodness and God. With God, leading Josh, I have no reason to doubt his work, credibility, integrity, and ability carry out a great HVAC project for anyone including myself. Thanks Josh. You remind me that there are still great contractors out in the tough world.

Josh and his team are wonderful! I moved into a older home and many electrical items needed updating. Josh has worked with me on my priority needs, budget and timing. I would highly recommend this polite, cost-reasonable professional & look forward to continuing to work with him.

Review 15 (2024-01-21 - Rating: 5)
Josh is the BEST! I bought my first home this past year. An older home built in 1947 that needed some love. As part of the renovation, I hired Josh to do a complete replacement & rewiring of the electric throughout the house. Josh is knowledgeable, reliable, and just an all around good man. He explains and educates about everything he’s doing and gives tips on things I need to know regarding my electric & HVAC system. Josh is honest and truthful, and has given guidance to help me save money. Josh is not looking to nickel and dime you like some of the bigger corporate companies will. I have also had Josh service my existing HVAC system (the only thing we did not replace as it’s still working) and come out the same day to help when my system has given me trouble. He’s always just a quick call/text away when I need help or have questions. I will not trust any one else with my home except for Josh!!

Review 16 (2024-04-17 - Rating: 5)
Very professional with an eye for detail, Josh made sure to analyze the intricate details of our problem and give us an accurate diagnosis. The repair was exactly what we needed to get us running again and cheaper than other solutions we were guestimated from big box companies. I plan on recommending him to anyone who needs a reliable and reasonably priced professional.Thanks again!!

Review 17 (2024-01-27 - Rating: 5)
I got myself into an electrical snafu where I tripped a circuit breaker and it would not reset. I called Josh and explained my problem. He gave me some comfort in explaining what the potential problems could be but also gave me an appointment within 24 hours to fix the problem. He showed up very punctual and professional. Confirmed and fixed my problem and got my power working again in my office. He was also reasonably price. He explained everything to me in terms I could understand. Thank you for your help Josh!!! I’ll be calling back again soon.

Josh and his team did a great job installing our new HVAC system. His level of knowledge and professionalism made him easy to work with, and he was patient when answering questions. He definitely showed that our business was important to him by being attentive and understanding, but also had our best interest in mind every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Josh for your future projects!

Review 19 (2024-02-06 - Rating: 5)
Highly recommend Josh and his personalized service. Id been without heat all week and he responded faster than the original installer of my HVAC. I called this morning, and he had the part, installed, and heating up the house by evening. He corrected a disconnected exhaust pipe, and pointed out a few items that could have been installed better to begin with. Josh even went out of his way to assist in cleaning out leaves from my AC units. Hes got all of my future HVAC and electrical business.

Review 20 (2023-09-13 - Rating: 5)
Relieved!! We returned home from a long weekend to find our AC was not working properly and the house was almost 90 degrees. We were referred to Josh and his team and they came out within 2 hours to check the system. Just needing an extra part, Josh was back out first thing in the morning and fixed our system in not even 24 hours! Josh was extremely caring, professional and honest with us, so we fully understood what was going on and how to best move forward. The full transparency was very much appreciated especially with something so serious as our air. Very thankful to have cold air today. We will definitely use Josh and his team for any future needs. Thank you!!!

Josh is everything anyone would want in a contractor. HONEST, ETHICAL, prompt and kind. He explains what MUST be done and what SHOULD be done--much appreciated! (and hes not afraid to go in questionable crawl spaces!)

Review 22 (2024-04-24 - Rating: 5)
Josh is a one of a kind. Very knowledgeable and honest. He listened to the issue and put together a fair and honest fix. There was no up selling or trying to “fix” unnecessary items. It’s so rare these days to find someone like that. If you want honest and fair , as well as quality this is the place.

Review 23 (2024-04-09 - Rating: 5)
I am very grateful for Josh’s service and he was very personable. He told me exactly what was wrong with my cooling system and fixed only what was needed. I trust him and will be using him again in the future.

Review 24 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)
We hired BCT to conduct a due diligence inspection on a property we are purchasing. Josh was extremely thorough and walked me through the details so that I could make an informed decision. While he was there inspecting, he noticed an issue that needed immediate attention and fixed it for the current owner. I highly recommend using them, and will certainly retain them on a quarterly basis for HVAC maintenance.

Review 25 (2023-07-15 - Rating: 5)
Josh is a professional tradesman that cares about the quality of his work. After resolving the issue I had with my AO Smith tankless hot water heater he tested and found a small leak in the gas line. Which he fixed and tested and retested. I feel Blessed that he was recommended to address my issues that I was having with my unit. Keep up the Great work Josh and GODS BLESSINGS to you and your family. Sincerely. Monte. E.

Would highly recommend Blue Collar Trades for anyone who needs HVAC or handyman work done. We were having trouble with the LED lights in our coworking space, and Josh was super responsive and on the scene in an instant. He saved the day, since we had a customer coming in first thing that morning to use the conference space. Definitely recommend!

Review 27 (2023-05-23 - Rating: 5)
I have known Josh personally for several years and called him last night when water was pouring from my attic from my AC. He walked me thorough some troubleshooting and told me what to do until he could come out the next day. He was prompt, through and took pictures of everything while in the attic to keep me informed. He provided me with options and benefits/risks of each in order for me to make my best decision on repair services. Without a doubt, I recommend using Blue Collar Trades! They are reliable, honest, thorough and professional and take pride in a job well done and a satisfied customer.

Thank you, Josh, for the timely manner in which you took care of our electrical issues. You have certainly eased our minds in making sure our home is safe from a possible fire hazard! Larry & I appreciate all you did for us!

I called on a Saturday and he came out within an hour. I thought that was awsome. He did a good job getting me back you and running and didnt bet me up on the price. Thanks Josh

Victor answered me immediately and worked with my schedule to come see my unit as soon as possible. He was on time, very polite, great energy/vibe, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I actually enjoyed learning about my HVAC while he was working on it.I was given his name from a friend and I 1000000% recommend he and his company to anyone.It’s not often you get someone who works in this type of a job that understands you are a person and not a statistic.Victor, thank you so much for your kindness, your HONESTY, your knowledge, and everything in this experience. I’m beyond grateful.

Josh is super experienced with heating, cooling, hvac, electric work and super friendly in nature. He answered my all question and help to replace the thermostat and custom job for hvac.

Review 32 (2023-12-14 - Rating: 5)
I just recently moved into the neighborhood into my lovely but very tired condo. Whatever my remodeling priorities were before, the cooling weather set it straight making fixing the heating system my #1 project. The Blue Collar Trade specializing in HVAC repairs / installation, came highly recommended, and they do live up to their reputation. Josh made sure to see to my project on an emergency basis due to the cold weather, and I did not have to wait long for my appointment. My HVAC system was thoroughly inspected, and I was given information on different ways to proceed with fixing the system making sure this is the right choice for me including an offer of a payment plan. My oldish HVAC still has some life in it, but it needs a detail to be shipped by a manufacturer. It will take a few days, but meanwhile I was given by Blue Collar Trades a couple of portable heaters to keep me warm. That was a very kind gesture. High professionalism but also understanding of each customers unique situation that is the Blue Collar Trades HVAC repairs and installation company as I see them. Great business, fair pricing - I would definitely recommend it. Thank you very much for seeing to my project!

Review 33 (2023-08-23 - Rating: 5)
What a relief to find this company and the owner, Josh Nowlin. Our AC shut down last week. The big companies looked at the unit, a 17 year old Trane, and never considered fixing it. I was talking to my incredibly honest and wonderful plumber about the issue and he said he knew a guy who would give an honest try to fix it first before quoting a replacement. I called Josh and he came out the next day and started working on it right away. He noticed the capacitor was in bad shape so he replaced that first. That didn’t get the system running. So then he moved on to the starter and determined that also needed to be replaced. He called up trane, picked it up that afternoon and called me back to see if he could install that evening. I missed the call until late so he said he would come back early in the morning, and there he was installing the starter at 8 AM. And how about that - that old tank of an AC is up and running. It’s an old unit. It may or may not be on its last legs (sometimes they can surprise you and live a long time). But we didn’t have the cash to replace immediately and I can’t say how thankful I am for how Josh treated us. That’s how you win a lifelong client. Highly recommend.

Review 36 (2023-06-30 - Rating: 5)
Top notch. My AC went out and I found BCT well reviewed online. I called and made an appointment for 9:00 a.m. the following day. Josh showed up ten minutes early, which is huge when your AC is out in the summer, and walked me through every step of the process and the possibilities for what the problem was. He was very detailed in explaining what he was doing and why. He also located a small gas leak and fixed that very quickly.Super friendly guy, did a top notch job, cannot recommend highly enough!

Josh was able to show up on short notice and replaced my a/c unit with almost no downtime. Excellent service, a high level of professionalism, competitive pricing, and Im loving the new A/C unit that he recommended. Could not be more pleased with the whole experience.

I am a local real estate agent and was recommended to me buy a neighbor (the best type of review) and I am glad he was. He has helped out a couple of clients with electrical and HVAC work. On time, Knowledgeable and explains options with out the sales push. He just came and serviced my personal HVAC explained a lot and even remembered I have little ones and called instead of knocking. Easy to schedule.

I called late in the afternoon needing an electrician because my outlet to refrigerator had stopped working. Josh took my call and came out that evening to help me he fit me in after hours.

I recommend him .He is honest and does a good job.

Josh and his company has been a complete lifesaver for fixing issues identified during the home inspection for the house my husband and I just purchased. Josh thoroughly reviewed the inspection report and provided a quick estimate for all of the issues thar need to be fixed. Even though he ran into some challenges with the older wiring in the house, he was able to fix everything in a timely manner while also providing advice for other minor issues he noticed while fixing the electrical issues. Josh is very friendly, extremely personable and I look forward to using his company for any other electrical or HVAC needs in the future. I cant praise this company enough and highly recommend it.

Review 54 (2023-05-29 - Rating: 5)
If I could give Josh from Blue Collar 10 stars, I would! We had an electrical issue on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. I just went down the line on Yelp and called 15 different electricians... Josh responded quickly, and was over at my house within a couple hours. Quickly got to the bottom of the issue, which was with power IN to the house, helped me call Duke Energy to explain the problem and make sure they dispatched a lineman, and followed up several times over the afternoon and evening to make sure we were okay and all squared away. And even though he could have gouged me on a holiday, he charged me a more than reasonable rate while providing great service. I would absolutely recommend them for all your electrical and HVAC needs (he is licensed for both)!!
