Heating Services in New Jersey

I can't say enough good things about Anthony and his team. Our 37-year-old furnace finally gave out, so I called Cool Effects—they had installed our upstairs HVAC 15 years ago (which is still running great). Anthony had Matt and the crew come out to inspect the old furnace, and they quickly diagnosed a shot gas valve and confirmed that replacement was the best option. Anthony came out, took measurements, and that evening sent me an estimate that was very reasonable. Two days later, the team returned to install the new furnace. They removed the old unit and completed the entire installation in about 3.5 hours. Throughout the process, they were neat, tidy, professional, and happy to answer all my questions. The new furnace is working perfectly, and the house is nice and toasty. I'm very happy with the work and highly recommend Cool Effects. Thanks again, Anthony!

I love thise guys, implicitly trust Anthony. Hard stop. Had several interactions with other companies, cooleffects in comparison is instantly responsive, honest, great pricing. Do you guys do babysitting?

Worked with Gary for many years but disengaged a couple years ago due to the same pattern continuing (shelling out $ on a regular basis for service while suffering from a leaky PTAC that repeatedly destroyed our wood floors). We and our HOA has been shifting to other providers over time. 1. Positives: They stock or work with a disty that stocks Islandaire EZ16 units which otherwise have a long factory leadtime. Pricing is the normal very high pricing you can expect for HVAC services ($200~$300+ per hour) these days last we checked but not higher than that. 2. Negatives: We and the previous owners of our condo have purchased new Islandaire EZ16 units, installed by GVK at least twice. In 2010 and 2020. Both of these systems leaked and destroyed our floors twice. 3. Specifically asked that they would check the sleeve pitch and drainage on the second installation and fix the sleeve and sleeve pitch if it's the issue. They refused to check the sleeve pitch because they said if they found an issue they wouldn't be able to repair it since they don't do PTAC sleeve work or work on sleeve openings (needed for proper drainage to outside) which can require a masonry sub. 4. They refused to honor our request to place and maintain backup leak protection under the unit including drip pans, auto condensate pumps or leak detectors under the unit. Even when we provided the parts, they refused to place them. 5. They refused to honor the warranty after the the second unit leaked and destroyed our floors again. Had they followed our requests (check pitch, put in backup condensate handling solutions, etc.) we wouldn't have had the warranty dispute in the first place. Not only did they not cover the collateral damage to our floors, they didn't fix their own HVAC work under warranty. 6. Blamed us or other contractors (we never hired anyone else during that time period) for the leaking of the new unit they installed, was angry we tried to save our floors with backup drip pans, pumps, etc. Attempted to charge us over $600 to "repair" the drainage on this new unit which we never broke, should have been covered under warranty and whatever work they did for this $600 was a failure in that the unit continued to leak and damage our floors anyway. 7. They came to us with a bill for $600+ many weeks after servicing the unit. Yet they never provided any estimate or quote in advance and we assumed this was going to be covered by warranty as such. 8. We disputed the $600+ bill on the basis of expecting this to have been covered by warranty and never getting an estimate before doing the work. We tried to come to a resolution but GVK ultimately ghosted us when we refused to pay this in full without receiving a resolution from them. 9. We also incurred about $1k worth of flooring damage (same damage we had just repaired by replacing and refinishing our floors just a few years earlier) which we should have been able to hold them accountable for.

We would recommend Cool Effects to anyone! It's always possible to reach someone and Anthony responds quickly. He always makes an effort to check out the problem asap - even on very hot days when he is super busy! Thank you Anthony, we appreciate you!

Anthony and team are a pleasure to work with! Always on time, excellent communication, and helped us to make well-informed decisions about our A/C install. Very happy with the pace of work and end result. Highly recommend Anthony / Cool Effects!

Honest business. I had them come out because I wanted another quote on two new AC units. Turns out I didn’t even need one they flip a breaker in the unit and both units start making cold air. The company that inspected the unit for service told me both units were bad and needed to be replaced 6500. GVK will get all my business and my friends too. Thanks guys.
