My blower motor went out last summer during the work week. I didn't have time to shop around and ended up paying $980 for a replacement. That wouldnt he so bad, except when it was installed i said there was barely any air flow coming from the vents. The motor installed is clearly the cheapest one they could find and isnt really buying me time for a total unit replacement since my electric bill is way higher than it should be. For that price i expected a variable speed, but got a really crappy single speed that barely puts out air. After the install was done he said my condenser coil was dirty. I've never had service that didn't include coil cleaning and to say that like he didn't just have the unit open and could have taken care of it blew my mind. Today the fan motor started making noise so i went to check it out. That's when i noticed all the missing screws. I had the unit taken apart for the blower motor install and all screws were together so they could be replaced but today i found several discarded screws around the unit. Next time i need service I'll just take the time off work, buy the parts, and do it myself. Had the coil been cleaned and all screws replaced I wouldn't even be writing this review, I was going to let it go. But this is ridiculous. I definitely wont be calling this company when I'm ready to replace the unit. Which will be quicker than anticipated due to the very low quality $980 motor.

I had an excellent experience with Iron Shield Heating & Air! Andrew quoted a fair price on Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon, my new AC unit was installed—quick and hassle-free! From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. The technicians arrived on time, answered all of my questions, and completed the installation smoothly. The work was top-notch, and they made sure everything was running perfectly before they left. I also really appreciated that they left the area spotless. I highly recommend their services and would definitely refer them when you need a reliable company to keep your house cool!

I am pleased with the outcome of the service call today. The staff was very nice, the tech was on time and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed my problems, gave me two ways that it could be corrected. I was not pressured into buying a new system at this time, and was given a military discount which helped a little. Thanks to the entire staff.

Jesse and Andrew were awesome! They got my AC & heat working perfectly. It's a new home and was installed incorrectly. They fixed it all. This photo was what it was like before they fixed it.

I Would like to say this company is one of the best companies I have worked with. Iron Shield Heating and Air are very professional with a great family feel. My daughter was the one who called them because they had installed a new unit in the house where I live. I had problems with the heat not working and they were called and immediately sent a very kind and knowledgeable Tech out. He spent a great deal of time checking and also calling the company which made me feel comfortable as while they were on the phone I could hear the other person on the phone, and part of the conversation was they could not get the part until the next day. He asked the person on the phone should he keep it hooked up working like it was since he had already done the work and diagnosis but needed a new replacement part. I heard the gentleman say yes keep it at least running the way it was as it was going to get very cold tonight so he made sure he kept me with heat and said he would be back first thing in the morning. Well he sure was back the next morning and with him was the other person who had been on the phone call. I not only received great service but feel like I made new friends who could be trusted. I have worked with many companies from electrical to construction and find this company is worth the great reviews on this page. We cannot make everyone happy all the time but after having been in a business that you have those you will never make happy these reviews say a lot about Iron Shield Heating and their employees. I am sorry to say I forgot his name but I believe it was Bob who came out and what a fantastic reliable and friendly person. Thanks Iron Shield!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that choosing the right HVAC team for your home is an important decision. Here are answers to some of the questions we often receive, so you can feel confident and informed before we arrive at your door.

Why should I hire a professional HVAC technician?

HVAC systems are complex. Attempting DIY repairs can lead to more damage or safety issues. Our certified technicians have the training and tools to diagnose problems accurately and safely. We’ll explain the issue and recommend the best solution for your home.

What does preventive maintenance include, and why is it important?

Preventive maintenance involves regular inspections and cleanings—like checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and replacing filters. It helps your system run efficiently, reduces breakdowns, and extends its life. Skipping maintenance can lead to costly emergency repairs later.

How often should I change my air filter?

It depends on usage, filter quality, and your household (e.g., pets or allergies). We generally recommend every 1–3 months. Regular filter changes improve air quality, efficiency, and system longevity .

How do I know if I should repair or replace my HVAC unit?

If your unit is older (10–15 years), has frequent breakdowns, or is inefficient, replacing it may save money long-term. We’ll assess your system’s age, condition, and repair costs before recommending a repair or replacement .

What is a heat pump and what are its benefits?

A heat pump both heats and cools your home by transferring heat rather than generating it. This makes it very energy-efficient, often resulting in lower utility bills and a reduced carbon footprint .

How long do HVAC systems typically last?

A well-maintained air conditioner usually lasts 10–15 years, while furnaces can serve you for about 15–20 years. Regular maintenance can maximize lifespan and reduce unexpected costs .

What is a BTU and why does it matter?

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit—the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a pound of water by one degree. For HVAC, it helps determine the right system size based on your home’s square footage and insulation needs .

How much do HVAC repairs usually cost?

Costs vary depending on the issue and the unit. We don’t like surprises, so we provide a clear estimate before starting any work. This includes labor, any parts needed, and options if a repair isn’t the best choice .

Is it necessary to clean my ducts?

Duct cleaning isn’t required often—but if you see visible mold, excessive dust, or notice reduced airflow, it can improve indoor air quality and system efficiency. We’ll inspect your ducts and recommend cleaning only when needed.

Do you offer emergency HVAC repairs?

Yes—we’re available 24/7 for urgent heating or cooling issues. When temperature control isn’t an option, we’re just a call away and ready to respond quickly.

How quickly can you come out for a repair?

We know heating and cooling issues are urgent, especially during extreme weather. We offer same-day service whenever possible and provide 24/7 emergency repairs if your comfort can’t wait.

Do you provide free estimates?

Absolutely. We believe in transparency and will provide a clear, honest estimate before any work begins so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes. All of our technicians are fully licensed, trained, and insured for your peace of mind. We stay updated with the latest HVAC best practices and local safety codes.

How can I schedule an appointment?

You can call us anytime. Our friendly team will confirm your appointment and find a time that works best for you.
