“After 17 years I made the decision to replace my furnace and air conditioner for better efficiency. Being a Union Iron Worker I was hoping to find a Union HVAC contractor but struggled to get bids. I then went in a different direction and called various numbers and got 3 bids. I got really lucky when a local contractor, NWI Heating & Air Solutions LLC was suggested to me. Mike the owner came out on Monday and did a top to bottom inspection, and addressed all of my concerns. I signed the contract, and on Wednesday April 7th 2021 Mike and Alex went to work! By Thursday evening, I had a new Trane AC Unit and furnace installed! In addition to the main install, I had some ducts rerouted and a brand new Smart Honeywell Thermostat installed. My house is now energy efficient! Thanks to John and Alex’s quality work I am getting BIG BUCKS in the form of Energy Efficiency Rebates from NIPSCO. Mike even completed ALL the rebate paperwork on my behalf! Hiring NWI Heating & Air was one of the smartest things I’ve done. If you are in need of updating your current HVAC system, look no further than NWI Heating and Air Solutions. Save yourself some time and make them one of your top bids. TRUST ME you won’t regret it!! Top shelf service and expert workmanship at a competitive price! Jeffrey L. Chidester”
