    It was my first time Using this company. They helped me with installation of a whole house humidifier. Great work by Dave and Seamus. Their scheduling process was great and staff were friendly and professional. Definitely recommend them. Thanks again.

    RA Dobson technicians are always timely, professional and respectful of my time and property. My most recent experience was having an old furnace replaced. Anthony and Dave were very knowledgeable and and clearly explained all the details of the repair and how to use the new thermostat. They are obviously well trained. I also like that the company is a local family owned business. Highly recommend.

    Last summer our air conditioner broke down on the hottest day of the year. R.A. Dobson came the same day and charged us clear prices. We signed up for the Matience program and have been so glad we did. They’ve helped us keep our air conditioning in tip top shape. Today Dave came over, called before he arrived to make sure someone was home, wore foot gear to keep the house clean, cleaned out the furnace and then even vacuumed the small pieces that were on the ground. We love the service we get and will continue to work with the R.A. Dobson team!

    Dave and Seamus just installed a new heat pump - not the Christmas gift I had on my wish list or expected to buy 😂 . I have been a long time customer of this company. I am so impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of their techs. And I so appreciate Dave and Seamus completing this job on a chilly morning.

    We really appreciated the service RA Dobson provided when they replaced our water heater today. Evan, Brady and Israel were on time, polite, and professional, and they did a great job--even adding a last-minute request by us to the service they performed. Evan was thorough and explained everything to us so well which we really appreciated. We have been with RA Dobson for over 20 years, including having them replace our HVAC system. They had the chance to upsell to us when we asked questions about todays water heater replacement but didnt. We are grateful for their honesty and recommend them to others.

    I recently had my water heater replaced by RA Dobson, it was a very professional and satisfying experience.Technicians Dave and Mayne were extremely patient answering questions and ensuring that we knew how to take care of the heater going forward.

  • Review 7 (2024-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    We went with R.A. Dobson when our A/C went out Summer of this year. We found out about them because there was another family owned heating and air company that my uncle and aunt had used and trusted for years, comfort zone I believe it was. They wanted to work with us but were booked up for at least a week and we needed immediate assistance so they recommended R.A. Dobson to us because they trusted the service so much.There are a lot of details I could write about how things went, but Ill stick to overall impressions. The first crew that came to help us diagnosed what they saw and I believe gave us an honest quote for what they thought the repair would be. The tech that came the next day was more senior and first corrected the diagnosis of that first crew and then, since he was able to get the unit to start with the parts he had on hand, gave his assessment that we were in need of a total replacement, showing actual figures from diagnostic tools that our unit was too old to be effective even if they were able to do a stopgap repair.The phone service and ability to book and get prompt service appointments was good throughout. We ultimately did replace our HVAC, and dave, the technician who appeared to be overseeing the work, was happy to explain every aspect of the work being done and why they were doing it the way they were, as well as point out ways in which our original installation was not as effective either because it was old or because the installation had some shortcuts taken. We purchased a higher end version of the products they offered, and after a few weeks I can say it is still working well and we havent noticed issues either with the unit or an impact on other aspects of our home. Wed recommend R.A. Dobson for a low hassle experience and for integrity given their staff all appeared interested in doing the best job possible and we even saw examples of them holding each other accountable to this both for the mistaken diagnosis (which we received credit for) and throughout the installation process.

    I have been an R.A. Dobson customer for almost 30 years, and they have never let me down. Their technicians are top-notch and their prices are fair. On the few occasions where there’s been an emergency they’ve been quick to respond, and they’re easy to communicate with. They do the job the right way. Dobson is a terrific company.

  • Review 9 (2020-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    RA Dobson was recommended by another company we are using for our attic insulation project. We needed them to inspect and replace a furnace flue that had rusted and was, potentially, allowing carbon monoxide in the home. They came out the same day we called to diagnose the problem and found additional problems and code violations. None of these problems were noted in our home inspection two months ago nor were they covered by our home warranty. The following week they returned and completed the repair for the agreed upon and reasonable price. The technicians they sent were on time, professional, and did excellent work. We will definitely use their services again.

  • Review 10 (2020-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Our 17 year-old dual system (AC/gas furnace and second floor heat pump) needed replacement and I was very pleased with the work of the Dobson team! Travis Dobson worked with us closely on the configuration, options and pricing and the install crew (Adrian, Carlos, Josh, Chris and Brandon) were excellent! They arrived on time, prepared and to go. As the installation progressed, I was impressed with their attention to detail on the wiring and plumbing work and saw that they corrected some issues with the original builders install. Adrian, the senior guy on the team, definitely knew his business and I noticed him sharing and teaching the others during key parts of the installation. VERY highly recommended!

    Evan J. came today and installed our new hot water heater. He was polite, careful and informative and did a great job. He explained the system well. Thanks so much to him, and to Sam who came last week to help shut down the leaking unit, putting an end to the water on the floor. Dobson has been our go-to for heat and hot water for many years - always reliable and responsive.

    I sadly just had to have both my heating unit serviced and my hot water heater replaced. RA Dobson handled both jobs in a timely and professional manner. I was so impressed by Evan and his team how did my HW heater and by the young man who did my heating unit service. I HIGHLY recommend RA Dobson for anyone looking for heating, cooling, plumbing related services.

    If you need professional AC or Heating expertise go no further! Seriously. Call Dobson, but ask for Sam. Sam is so knowledgeable and kind and ethical. We need more Sams in this world!!

    Ive been very satisfied with RA Dobson who weve used in the past. This was the first time for them to come to our new home and Freddy was very professional and helpful. While providing routine maintenance on the AC, he discovered a dead snake attached to the capacitor, and lots of dirt/grime. Snake removed, everything cleaned out, and the AC back in full working order. Thank you, Freddy and RA Dobson.

    We’ve been happy clients of R. A. Dobson, for over 26 years.Today Evan did his typical superb job diagnosing and making repairs, and adjustments to our home’s plumbing system, including the testing and adjustment of our PRV valve and installing new water line after one burst the previous night.We’ve known Evan for over 6 years and we count on him to be our ‘plumbing savior’!His work ethic and knowledge are unbeatable!

  • Review 18 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    We have used RA Dobson both personally and with my clients. All have been very happy with the service they received. From the initial phone call where the man answering the phone is helpful and engaging and quick to schedule a service appointment. Most recently we needed the motor replaced in our furnace in the attic. Sam was our technician that helped us. He was very polite and quick to replace the motor & get the system back to having heat on a 25 degree evening. I love that the techs from RA Dobson dont do the constant upselling like other companies we have used in the past. I have confidence that when they tell me what the issue is, that they are honest in their assessment. I couldnt recommend them more!

  • Review 20 (2022-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    ORIGINAL REVIEWFrom the beginning of the transaction through the end of Day 1, my experience with RA Dobson was flawless. I called at 7:10 am and followed the prompt to reach the emergency technician. George called me back in less than 5 minutes and put me on the schedule for the same day, although an arrival time could not be provided because the amount of time needed for any previous service calls cannot be predicted. I got a call at 11:13 to let me know that the technician would arrive in 45 minutes. He arrived in 20. Sam was fabulous! I asked if he minded while I watched what he was doing. He explained everything he was doing and how the different parts of the system work. He diagnosed the issue and ordered the part. I think the price is reasonable. I look forward to the actual repair in the next couple days.UPDATEI got a call later in the day to let me know that the part needed to repair my system was available and could be installed THE SAME DAY! Sim completed the actual repair. He arrived at the end of his scheduled service calls around 5:00 pm. Another wonderful guy--knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, and just plain nice.What a great company. I highly recommend R. A. Dobson.

    Dave was the technician who came to the house for our semi annual inspection on our ac/heating system. He was very professional and informative. In the simplest terms he took the time to explain how the system operates giving us the instructions that were needed on how to keep our home comfortable and how to improve the reliability and efficiency of our unit. We were most pleased with his service and highly recommend him

  • Review 22 (2022-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    I submitted a request for a quote for replacing or repairing a Moen shower valve on RA Dobsons website, and got a rough quote within 24 hours. The quote was very reasonable, and a technician(Evan) was at my door at exactly 8am the next morning, right on time! He looked over the tub faucet and gave me an exact estimate for fixing the valve cartridge which I accepted. I actually had him do two more jobs, since the price was so good! He was professional and explained what the issues were, and the job was done right on the first visit for the price we agreed to. If I need any more work done, theyll be my first call!

  • Review 23 (2020-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    I have been a client of R.A. Dobson for over 20 years! I have to say that every engagement with the Dobson team is an absolute delight. This past week we had Jason out to the house to install our new AC system. It was a complicated install, but the care that he took was incredible. The team did outstanding work and we are thrilled with our new system. Working with Travis on the right system at the right price was of incredible ease and you always feel as though the entire company will go above and beyond to ensure you are satisfied! I highly recommend calling Travis at R.A. Dobson for your next AC\Heating requirement you have!

  • Review 24 (2021-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    When our old water heater sprung a leak, the amount of water it was leaking required us to get it replaced quickly. Unlike their competition, R A Dobson took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and despite calling them late in the day, they were able to install a new tank the following morning. The techs who did the install were professional, courteous, and left our basement spotless. Overall, I would have no issues recommending this company as I found them to be fair, honest, and professional. Based on my experience, I now understand why they have been in business for so long and will continue to use them in the future.

  • Review 25 (2022-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    We have used RA Dobson for years, for both HVAC and plumbing. We have had great experiences with installation, maintenance, and repair. I particularly appreciate the time their techs take to explain what is going on. When they leave, my problem is solved and I have also learned something.

  • Review 27 (2020-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    R A Dobson is an absolutely a wonderful company to work with. We have used them exclusively for the past several years. The office staff has always been considerate and responsive when I have called for either emergency, of which I have had several lately, or routine maintenance. The plumbers that have come to our home have been knowledgable and have completed the job efficiently. They have arrived when expected and are courteous. The plumber,Evan, who has worked with us for the last two weeks to get a new dishwasher installed. He has been wonderful. I cant repeat my praise this company and staff enough. I will never use anyone else.

  • Review 28 (2020-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    We needed two visits from RA Dobson to fix a leak in a pipe above our basement ceiling, which unfortunately was related to a repair by a different company less than a year ago. An entire team spent hours here, before during and after explaining to me what the issue was and how they were going to address it. They politely explained what they were doing differently than the last time, without ever criticizing the work done by a different company. I’m very impressed with their expertise and professionalism. So glad I know who to call whenever I have a problem!

  • Review 29 (2020-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    The entire staff of RA Dobson are delightful to work with. The staff are courteous, highly skilled and very competent. Today, Evan fixed a leak under our kitchen sink and did a great job. He was thorough and made sure the sink worked correctly. He was friendly and polite and we enjoyed our experience with him!

  • Review 30 (2019-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    We have nearly 20 years experience with RA Dobson and we are grateful for the support it has given our family over the years. There have been countless times that RA Dobson has given us impartial advice that was to our best advantage. Their technicians are not salesmen. They advise with the best interest of the homeowner foremost. Today Adrian gave me a reasoned explanation of the pros and cons of scheduling a duct cleaning now or waiting for the cleaning. I felt no pressure and knew the advice was in my best interests.

  • Review 31 (2021-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    RA Dobson is a top HVAC company in the area. I switched over to them 3 years ago, and cannot be more pleased with the service and maintenance they provide at my home. They are prompt and the service professionals on their team provide superior customer service from the technician, service desk and billing. During the pandemic, I was a little concerned with how they would operate but they were fully prepared and followed specific protocol to ensure the safety of my family. They repaired my AC unit and had it running in no time. They explained the diagnosis and treatment - in addition, checked the full system & performed routine maintenance as part of the service. Great company and local business we should support!

  • Review 32 (2019-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    A little late on this review, but I still felt it was more than necessary to complete! RA Dobson was able to fit us in during the recent Polar Vortex to diagnose and replace our broken water heater. As a 2nd generation client, my patents and I have used RA Dobson for all of our plumbing, heating, and air conditioning needs for 40 years!!! They are affordable and still provide quality work. Their staff always seems extremely knowledgeable and educates us as to what and why they are preforming a certain repair or replacement.

  • Review 33 (2020-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    Couldnt be happier with everything about the company. HVAC unit went out over the winter, at the same time hot water heater had emergency leak. Called 3 different contractors to come out give me estimates, decided on RA Dobson because of combination of fair quote, responsiveness & prompt follow up. Felt they valued business from me, professional all the way through, they came out next day on time, completed job perfectly, installed high quality equipment, left workspace cleaner than when they started. Both units are working perfectly

    We have used RA Dobson for several years for HVAC and plumbing projects and could not be happier. The technicians are fantastic, always on time and very knowledgeable. Pricing is fair and honest and if anything is ever not 100% they will resolve the issue without hesitation. I’m happy to do business with a local business that truly cares about their customers and their community.

  • Review 36 (2020-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    Wow! To readers of reviews like these: I cannot recommend this company enough -- their honesty, knowledge and amazing service saved us thousands of dollars.Backstory: Our A/C died during a week of 90-degree-plus weather. A tech from another company looked at our 10-year-old system and told us it was beyond repair — they pitched us a new $7k system.Assuming they were right, we called R A Dobson to get a second quote on a new system. Travis, the owner, said hed be happy to quote a system for us, but he asked us to talk through the issues first. He took the time to examine pictures and narrowed it down to a blown capacitor. Since there are still social distance guidelines in place, he said a tech could install it or we could do it ourselves and save money.He was right! After 20 minutes of work and a $40 part, our beyond repair system was as good as new.R A Dobson could have easily been like the other guys and taken advantage of our lack of HVAC know-how to sell us a new system. But their honesty and service have made us a customer and fan for life.Support this local business!

    Returned from a weeks vacation late this afternoon (after 5pm on a Sunday in late July) and our air conditioning had gone out while we were gone... hot house. Called and left a message for the emergency on call technician not expecting much. He called me back within 5 minutes, talked through my options, and was at my house by 6pm. Quickly diagnosed the problem (capacitor had gone out on the compressor), he had the part in his truck, and we were blowing cold air again by 6:30pm. Emergency call cost me $120 more than their normal service call... worth every penny. Highly recommend.

    We had a humidifier installed for our house. The technician was very clean, friendly and did a great job explaining what he did and what to watch out for. The pricing was fair and we will also have them maintain our AC unit going forward. From inquiry to install, super easy process without the „I need to come by to provide you a quote“ hassle. Great job

  • Review 39 (2020-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Called RA Dobson on a recommendation from another mechanical contractor to replace a home water heater. When another trade recommends a company you know they are going to know their stuff! Talked to George and even corresponded with owner Travis - both were responsive and great to deal with. Given the Covid19 conditions they were willing to provide an estimate based on pictures we provided, but also did a site visit when we inquired about a change of scope. George was a straight shooter and seemed honest, and took the time to talk through the job.Received a quote 24 hours later as promised. Signed the proposal electronically and within another 24 hours the office called and got us on the schedule for the next morning. Adrian, Carlos and Evan were assigned to the job and were GREAT! They were professional, clean and easy going. They did not rush the job and took their time making sure the install was done right the first time. Afterwards they cleaned up the site including wiping down any water on the floor. The guys explained the warranty and put all the necessary documentation in the protective sleeve on the water heater. We even had a fun conversation out in the driveway afterwards, seemed like genuinely nice guys!Were these the cheapest guys? No, but the quote was very reasonable given the manpower and quality of work they performed. I could have saved a little money going with someone else, but you get what you pay for. Too many inconsiderate contractors out that make big promises but always come up short. I will gladly pay a little more for a quality job. From soup to nuts this was a hassle-free experience and we will gladly consider RA Dobson again for our other mechanical needs. Thank you guys!

    R. A Dobson has been servicing our A/C-heater units for few years now and also replaced both of our units when needed with a much more efficient system. They gave us the best advise and a very competitive price. Whenever we needed help in the summer or winter they were here to fix the problem within hours. They have very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Couldnt be happier with their sevice and prices.

    My husband and I have used R.A. Dobson, Inc. for our HVAC, and plumbing needs for more than 20 years. The staff is comprised of new and long-term employees who represent the family-owned business with a sense of pride.The following are highlights from a recent project to replace the humidifier:To ensure the safety of their employees and customers, R.A. Dobson, Inc. supplies their technicians with personal protective equipment including, but not limited to masks, gloves, and shoe coverings. Upon my request, the technicians double masked without hesitancy, before entering. The project took about 5 hours with many trips in and out of the house. Each technician was extremely mindful and closed the door every time.Adrian, Sam and Jaivier were professional, respectful, and meticulous in clean up. Adrian provided a detailed walkthrough of the completed work and how to maintain the efficiency of the new unit.I highly recommend R.A. Dobson, Inc. for their efficient, and professional handling of projects of any size from repairs to new installations.

    In using my new HVAC system installed by R.A.Dobson whom I met Late January 2022. Initialy installation for a new Furnace and Heat Pump was overseen by Sam Contreras on February 8, 2022. The change of air entering my home to be stronger in Heat/Cool Mode is wonderful. A new COR Thermostat installed Quite a transition to learn. R.A. Dobson was referred to me by two neighbors near me. I waited to see how all was going to operate during 2022s seasonal changes, and it is just wonderful. No more turning on Eden Pure Portable Heaters. Im learning to interact with good R.A. Dobson Staff at all levels; who will answer questions. I highly recommend new interest to reach out to Travis Dobson, President of R.A. Dobson a family owned Business since 1975. Do not hesitate to inquire any questions. you will be well taken care of assured by Travis Dobson. I also have communicated to George Kisner, Service Manager and Thatcher Yates. I am signed up for continued Maintenance on my new HVAC system. Carrier Heat Pump and Carrier Air Handler. Its worth waiting in seasonal changes to learn all is operating well.

    A few years ago RA Dobson helped me find a furnace blower motor that would fit my aging unit. Turns out it took a standard size, but no one else locally seemed to be able to figure that out without sending a tech out to the house and charging me the extra diagnostic fee, and then having their tech sell me the motor (so add $100+ to the price of the motor). With the basic length and diameter, they were able to get me setup with a motor I could install myself, and the furnace has been happily chugging away ever since.Today I called back to find a safety switch for a new hot water heater that had broken (probably still under warranty), and even though they dont carry the brand anymore, they were able to help me find a part number and gave me the best course of action to get it resolved. Even when the guy on the phone knew they werent going to make any money from the call, he still went out of his way to help me fix the problem. Im definitely going to use these guys for as long as theyre around!

    R. A. Dobson is a life saver! I wish I had known about them years ago. Last night my hot water heater busted and I was worried that I could not get it fixed for days. I got in touch with the business owner late in the evening (11pm) and he said he would have a technician out first thing in the morning. Around 7:30am I got a call from the office manager who said there would be a tech out before 9am. The tech showed up at 8:30am and was really nice and extremely knowledgeable. The job was done within the timeframe they said and the price was exactly what I was quoted. I have never had an experience with a plumbing company or any type home repair contractor like this in the past. I will absolutely recommend them in the future to anyone in need of plumbing or HVAC work!

We called them earlier this week to just inquire about having a humidifier installed and Travis was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and straight-forward about everything -- his customer service and candor sold us on this company. Called again yesterday to schedule the install and they sent Eduwin over today.Its refreshing to find a company who we feel is not trying to just make a buck on us, they really make you feel that theyre in it with a goal of making a lifelong customer.

He then ran some diagnostics and explained them in good detail giving me confidence that I have a few years left on my 20+ year old A/C compressor unit.

  • Review 71 (2022-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    I had an issue with my hot water heater and called R.A. Dobson (of course, as I have been using them for years) to diagnose the problem. The technician that came (on Nov. 3) was Evan, and I have to say that I love all the R.A. Dobson technicians, but Evan was AMAZING. He was able to diagnose the problem and offer a few options. The wonderful thing is that he was able to show me how to extend the life of the hot water heater to clean out the minerals (we have a lot in our water) and keep the elements running longer. Some companies would want to immediately replace the appliance, but over the years, I have found that R.A. Dobson, with their expertise, maintains them and keeps them running longer. Evan was SO knowledgeable, professional and very patient and kind in showing us every repair he did and why he was doing it. R.A. Dobson is honest and has a professional for all repairs they do. If you want to extend the life of your hot water heater, plumbing system or heating system, CALL THEM. They care about the customer and the system they are working on, and will do their best to always keep everything running smoothly. Its so refreshing to have a company that tries to solve the problem and not just replace everything. I have been using R.A. Dobson for over 30 years, and still call them first whenever I have a problem--if they cant fix it, they direct me to the company that can. And Evan was definitely one of the BEST technicians I have had, from ANY company. Thank you, R.A. Dobson, for your great service AGAIN!!

    During AC maintenance, Dave (RA Dobson) discovered a rusty gas pipe by the side of the house, and there was a gas smell. At his recommendation, we called Dobson right away and the next morning (after Washington Gas had turned off the gas) a Dobson team was here to replace the pipe. This was a complex job since the pipe went in the ground and through the wall. Within hours they did a perfect job. Their work was secure and clean! Thank you very much for addressing this dangerous situation quickly and perfectly! We are extremely pleased with Dobson’s work, more generally.

    Oct 2023: New Hot Water Heater. Exceptional Support & Service.EVAN is Professional, Personable, and Passionate about hiswork. EVAN consulted with me about the work, and verified Iunderstood everything. Thank You. - Heather F. (Sterliing)------------------DEC 2019:THANK YOU for your on-going exceptional support.....When I bought my house 22 yrs ago, I sought out RA Dobson to provideon-going service/inspections/maintenance on my Water Heater & Heat Pump. RA Dobson has returned my calls on weekends and holidays,and service techs respond/arrive in a timely manner are always Professional, Polite, and Personable. Most recently I had a System Failure on my Heat Pump. From initial call, to diagnosis, to part replacement was in less than 8 hours.! Thanks SAM and Company (Thanks for keeping in stock such a high dollar part. Other Service providers/vendors dont) In the past when I had to replace a Water Heater and Heat Pump, I asked for recommendations and definitely wanted something bigger/more power/more efficient, I am very happy with the product recommended.Bottom Line: I will stay on contract with RA Dobson as long as I own this house/stay in the area. -Heather F.

    Evan from RA Dobson came ontime with the proper equipment to diagnose and fix a water issue in our home. We had several other plumbers come out to no avail. Evan researched and ultimately found the problem and fixed it. All throughout the experience, he described what he was doing and more importantly went above and beyond in every instance. Manny tanks to Evan for fixing our issue.

    Josh and Zac were very professional, and were experienced in all aspects of the work. They replaced my furnace and A/C unit, and were also able to replace my water heater on short notice. There was minimal disruption of my water while they worked, and they finished the whole installation in about 1.5 days. Im enjoying warm air, cooling and ample hot water. Id use R. A. Dobson again and would recommend them to anyone!Tom R.

    RADobson has been our families go to HVAC service company over the past 20 years. They have been able to remediate problems on the spot verse other companies that requested multiple days to get the part. We have used RADobson for HVAC, plumbing and even installation of our Gas pool heater. RA Dobson technicians are highly trained technicians that are personable and will explain the problem(s) and provide multiple solutions verse pushing the most expensive option.
