Our AC and furnace both went out! It could have been a very stressful situation but the whole team at Top shelf made it easier to swallow. From the salesmen, technicians, installers and even the owner we experienced their professionalism in their knowledge of exactly what AC and Furnace would be the absolute best for my family, my house situation and my finances. They also went above and beyond in their friendliness, communication, set up and clean up. This is one of the biggest investments we put in our homes, I’m so thankful to have been able to trust this team! Definitely recommend Kelly, Paul and Austin!

Top Shelf Heating and Air is just that, Top Shelf customer service and Top Shelf on-site technical knowledge. My furnace failed on the coldest day of the year and our technician Chris was Johnny On The Spot and arrived in under an hour. He quickly diagnosed our plugged vacuum line issue and got our furnace back to blowing hot air. It's hard to find 5 Star customer service in the days we live in but that's exactly what we received! We highly recommend Top Shelf Heating and Air!

The company was so easy to get ahold of and have someone come out. Kelly is incredible. His work was fantastic and he took the time to discuss further plans for our house. He gave our fireplace new life.

I had gone to a different HVAC company 7 years ago. 3 days ago a mouse got caught in the blower wheel and it completely stopped working. I called the old HVAC company and found out my furnace was not under warranty-- in fact it wasn't even registered. I did research and found "Top Shelf Heating and Cooling", which had excellent reviews.Paul Roll, HVAC journeyman, and Austin Halverson from Top Shelf found a lot of different problems with the HVAC I had. We discussed the options and we made the decision to go with train heat pump with a new back-up furnace. They gutted all the old furnace equipment out, cleaned all the vents, removed a blockage limiting 80% of air flow to half of the house, brought in three air conditioners for us to use in the meantime and returned the next day to install the new heat pump and back-up furnace.We have a 10-year warranty now. They were very informative and answered all my questions. From the moment the old furnace broke, they made sure our house was cool throughout the process. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional, so I can't rate them highly enough!Don't run into the problem I had; call Top Shelf and get it done right the first time.

I’ve used Top Shelf on multiple occasions over the years. Two years ago I purchased a new water heater through them and this year was a new furnace and a/c unit outside. On both of those visits they were able to take care of me same day replacing my failed systems!Chris and Steven also were able to come by and remove a ball from one of my ducts that my puppy managed to lose down it and they were very prompt and efficient.All of my interactions with Top Shelf have been fantastic and I will continue to use them going forward.

When is a replacement a better option?

Numerous factors will determine if it is better to replace your hot water heater or simply fix it. For starters, the age and current condition of your hot water heater is our first litmus test.

The Top Shelf Heating way is to assess the present situation. We will let you know if we think we can fix your current issue and keep it under $500. If we believe the price could jump, replacing your entire hot water heater is most undoubtedly worth replacing.

Frequently Asked Water Heater Questions:

What type of water heaters are there?

Most homeowners are switching to tankless water heaters and whether you have a gas or electric water herater will depend on the current system you have.

How much does a water heater repair cost?

The standard water heater repair costs are around $500. For example, replacing a valve or the thermocouple is around $300 for parts plus labor. Each repair can be different so feel free to get a few quotes when repairing your water heater.

What water heater parts can be replaced?

Eletric water heaters are the most common water heater found in homes and when there is an issue, there is a 9 in 10 chance it is one of the following:

  1. Heating element
  2. Thermostat
  3. Anode rod
  4. Dip tube
  5. Pressure relief valve

Each of these parts can be replaced and if your water heater is only a few years old, a repair is the better option over a replacement.

Should I replace or repair my water heater?

Sometimes knowing whether to replace or repair your water heater can be tricky. This is why we always recommend getting a professional opinion first. The age of your existing water heater, the cost of the repair, and how long the repair will last usually determines whether or not to replace your current water heater. For example, replacing a simple heating element is a few hundred dollars and is a fast repair. However, if you have a 15 year old water heater with a variety of issues, it might be better to get a new tankless or electric water heater.

Is there water heater maintenance I should perform?

While most water heater maintenance is minimal and nothing compared to your HVAC maintenance, flushing you water heater will increase the lifespan of your water heater and keep it working longer. You want your new Meridian water heater to last at least 15 years and hopefully more. Flushing the tank once a year can get rid of debris and sediment build up. If you notice some loud noises, this could mean it is time to perform a water heater flush. We can help you, just contact us here.
