We recently had our downstairs residential heat pump fail after 17 years of service. Given the age of the system, and the newer technology available, it made sense to replace both the downstairs and upstairs systems (3- and 2-ton units respectively). I obtained quotes from 4 different installers and ultimately, we selected the Mitsubishi Hyperheat systems as the replacement. Brian at SWVA Mechanical gave us the best price and best answers to our questions and we selected them to do the work. I don't think it could have gone any better. They showed up when they said they would, staged the work so that we could stay warm (installed in December), were respectful of our property and answered all of our questions. All of the SWVA Mechanical workers were friendly, cheerful, and most importantly knowledgeable and competent. Brian encouraged us to consider the Mitsubishi Hyperheat system which would function as a heat pump to below 0 degrees F. Frankly, I had my doubts that a system without auxiliary heat would function properly at such low temperatures without an auxiliary heat source. However, this review is being written 1 week after some of the coldest temperature in years (as low as 6 degrees F and -1-degree wind chill) and I can testify that my house stayed at the temperature set point throughout this very cold period, and in fact my house has been more comfortable than it ever has in similar conditions. I have temperature monitoring data that proves the system worked as Brian said it would. Additionally, the numbers show significant electricity savings compared to the operation of the old system. I will also mention that Brian and his partner Nick, were persistent in being able to get a relatively new steam humidifier installed about 2 years ago to work with the Mitsubishi heat pump and air handler. That required a lot of effort on their part, and a non-standard installation that went beyond the manufacturers’ instructions. I can verify that what they did worked, that it was done properly and is functioning as it should. To reiterate, I would highly recommend SWVA VA Mechanical to anyone in need of their services. They check all the boxes... knowledge, expertise, dependability, reliability, and integrity. Based on our experiences, we intend to use them to service our new system in the future and would not hesitate to work with them again. In my opinion, and based on my past experiences, it would be very hard to do better than SWVA Mechanical in this line of work and expertise.

I had emergency when the heating system stopped working during the coldest days these past 2 months and Brain came the same day I called SWVM. No other HVAC company in the area would even give me an estimate of when they could come. Brain got the system running just in time for the lows in the teens the next few nights. If you need help this company will do all they can to help you. I would highly reccommend them.

Recently had an installation as well as a preventative maintenance on another unit. I received good communication about scheduling and pricing and they answered any question I had. They showed up on time and performed the work well. After the install, Brian came by to make sure I was happy with the install and that I was fully taken care of. Subsequently for the preventative maintenance that Samuel performed, he thoroughly cleaned and tested the units and communicated to me the way that the unit was originally wired may not be optimal and explained the pros/cons of making a minor adjustment which I had him do. I'm very happy with the service provided and plan to use SWVA Mechanical for any future HVAC needs.

I recently had a heat pump replaced by SWVA and they did an excellent job. As we were weighing the options of repairing my old system and the cost and benefit of the new system they were very helpful. I never felt they were trying to up-sale me. I especially appreciate the fast service both on the repairs I needed on my old system and with this new install. I was in a bind because it was winter but they had me up and running with a new system fast. I would highly recommend them again!

I can't say enough good about the folks at SWVA mechanical. They came to my house and quoted the Mitsubishi unit to me and I had it installed within a few weeks. Every tech was very professional and respectful while in our home and did an outstanding job. I had one company give me a quote for the same system and it was over $4000.00 more than what Brian at SW VA Mechanical quoted, plus the other company didn't want to even talk about the Mitsubishi units that have the best reputation in the business. These more efficient units will save us money on our electric bill and they are so quiet you can't even hear them run. If you need a HVAC system or just need your old system repaired, give Brian at SW VA Mechanical at call and you will not be disappointed. They are more than fair on their prices and will treat you with respect and not try to burn you up on the charges. They are my new HVAC company. Scott Beverly

I had these guys install a new American Standard 3 ton heat pump this week. I got quotes from different companies and after a great deal of research chose SWVA Mechanical. Nick and Brian explained everything in detail and Jesse and Sam did our install. We are very happy with the entire process. Nick asked me a number of times during and after the install if we were happy and everything was to our expectations. They really care about customer satisfaction and it shows. Great product and install! I would highly recommend this company to anyone on the market for a new system. Great price and great product!

Air Conditioning Installation Service

Before the installation day, our team ensures every detail is planned for a smooth process. We coordinate with you to schedule a time that minimizes disruption to your daily routine. Our technicians arrive fully prepared with the new equipment and all necessary tools. We take great care to protect your property, using drop cloths and other measures to keep the work area clean. The first step on site is the safe disconnection and removal of your old air conditioning unit. We handle the environmentally responsible recovery of any remaining refrigerant according to strict EPA guidelines. Our respectful and professional approach is evident from the moment we arrive. We treat your home as if it were our own.

The physical installation of your new air conditioner involves several precise steps. Our technicians will first prepare the site for the outdoor condenser unit, ensuring it sits on a stable, level pad. We then install the indoor air handler or evaporator coil, making sure it integrates perfectly with your existing furnace or duct system. Next, we carefully route and connect the refrigerant lines that run between the indoor and outdoor units. All electrical wiring is connected safely and according to local codes for reliable power. Finally, we install a new condensate drain line to properly manage moisture removal. Each connection is checked and double checked for integrity. We use only high quality materials for a durable, long lasting installation. Our workmanship is meticulous at every stage.

Your home’s ductwork plays a vital role in the performance of a new air conditioning system. Improperly sealed or insulated ducts can lead to significant energy loss and poor airflow. As part of our installation service, we can perform a thorough inspection of your existing duct system. We identify any leaks, blockages, or design flaws that could compromise your new AC’s efficiency. Our team can perform necessary repairs or modifications to ensure optimal airflow to every room. This step is essential for achieving balanced cooling and consistent comfort throughout your home. A well designed duct system allows your air conditioner to work as intended. We make sure your ducts support your new equipment perfectly. You will feel the difference in every corner.

After the physical installation is complete, we perform a comprehensive system commissioning process. This is a critical quality control step to verify that the equipment operates at peak performance. Our technicians will charge the system with the precise amount of refrigerant required by the manufacturer. We test all electrical connections and safety controls to ensure they are functioning correctly. Next, we calibrate your new thermostat and test the system through a full cooling cycle. We measure airflow and temperature differentials to confirm everything is running to specification. This detailed commissioning process maximizes efficiency and prevents future problems. We do not consider the job finished until we are certain your system is flawless. You can have complete confidence in our work.

The final step of our service is a complete walkthrough and customer orientation. We believe an informed homeowner is a happy homeowner. Our lead technician will show you the newly installed equipment and explain its components. We will guide you on how to operate the new system and use all the features of your thermostat effectively. You will also receive important information on recommended maintenance to keep your AC running efficiently for years. This is your opportunity to ask any remaining questions about your new air conditioning system. We take the time to ensure you are completely comfortable and satisfied with our work. Our commitment to customer education sets us apart. We leave you fully equipped to enjoy your new cooling system.
