We have worked with Northern Heating & Cooling on our remodeling projects and on our own home and all have been pleasant experiences. Phil is truly a master of his craft and if you have an HVAC question he'll have an answer for ya. In remodeling nothing is ever straightforward so I appreciate a company like this that has solutions for anything we may ran into. We had one project where we ran into quite a lot of additional work than we originally expected. Luckily, Nycole in the office had a detailed schedule and was able to schedule the finishing of the rest of our project in a timely manner. I recommend Northern Heating & Cooling for your HVAC needs!!

We called Northern Heating after 5 pm for a emergency repair to our heat system.They were able to send a repair technician the same night. I was very grateful since it was -20 outside. The technician was very professional and solved the problem the same night. The service fee was very reasonable. I highly recommend Northern Heating and cooling.

They were ontime each time they scheduled and worked diligently while on the job. They were even open to take on a few smaller tasks while on the job. Thank you very much
Jane Evaro
Very knowledgeable team. Have used them to replace my furnace, when I had CO alarms going off during winter (cracked heat exchanger). They did a quick replacement to get heat back into my home. Recently had them troubleshoot my AC. Quickly found the problem and had a fix the same day. Highly recommend this company.
Jonathon Carter
We have lived in our house for only a few years. We have an older boiler system which requires annual maintenance. Northern Heating & Cooling, and especially Phil have been excellent to work with and have always made sure to get over to us as soon as possible. We would highly recommend them.

The service was professional and timely. They were able to point me in the correct direction to find the true underlying problem, which had nothing to do with just my heater.

cameron kintzle
Very happy with the experience. Phill came out the same day I called. Quick diagnosis and gave me a detailed estimate right on the spot. When I called to schedule the repair the receptionist was very polite and friendly. She gave me a time and day of when they would arrive, they had a 2 week wait time which wasn't bad being that it was during the heat wave we had this summer. They arrived the same day they promised and got the work done in the same amount of hours that the estimate said it would. Also they would text to notify when the techs were on the way. Thank you Northern Heating and cooling.
Ignacio Castaneda
Resolved my “no heat” issue.
Donna Martin
Tech person was so friendly and knowledgeable. Very courteous. The receptionist was very cordial also.
Lanetta Ostermiller
Mid winter furnace failure in Bozeman, MT and not a furnace to be found IN STOCK!! HOORAY to Phil and his crew at Northern Heating. Not only did they have a furnace and stock but they were able to drive to Bozeman and install it in just a couple of hours. Great value and extreme professionalism. They will always be at the top of my list of referrals. Penny Walker
Penny Walker
My son’s heater went out in Great Falls. I was visiting at the time. We called Northern and they came out within 2 hours on a cold day. You could tell they were swamped. Another cool thing? They sent texts telling us when they thought the tech was going to be there first and another when he was headed to his house. The technician was honest, quick and knew what he was talking about. I decided to change the heater as it was old. They had to get the heater from Billings. So I am thinking...3 days or better to install it. It was Installed the next day!!! Now it is way better than the heater that was in his house. He did not realize how bad his old one was. The new heater warms places that were cold before.They were extremely fair on pricing and were super quick on the install saving me money. They are awesome! The best experience I have ever had with any contractor. I cannot thank them enough. Kudos to Northern! I live in White Sulphur Springs. I am going to call them if I need anything here also. 100 miles. Worth it. I will pay the travel time gladly.
Matthew Lowe
Very good experience installing a new Hvac system. Will definitely call again.

Abraham Travis
Great work, quick install, top notch
D D
Initially I called 3 places to get bids for a furnace and AC install for my shop. The first place came out, but never gave me a bid. The second place gave me a bid, but then did not return my call until 5 weeks later. Northern Heating & Cooling gave me a competitive bid, and called me back within 10 minutes of me leaving a message. They arrived the day they said they would and made sure everything was up and running. They also cleaned up their work space so well I couldn't tell anyone had even been out there. Overall I was very impressed with the service they provided and will use them for all my future heating & cooling needs.
William Crawford
Great company. Very happy with there natural gas work.

The company was able to schedule my broken furnace within 3 days of my call. They sent me a 15 minute heads-up text when the technician was on his way, letting me know it would be Travis, and he was on time. Travis listened to my sketchy description of the problem, got straight to work, and found the broken part within 10 minutes--very knowledgeable and professional. He was thorough in his work, making sure the job was done right. He answered my questions and was very friendly. I will definitely call this company again!

heater quit on Xmas day..called Northern early the next day. Phil scheduled me for an afternoon appointment. He showed up early, diagnosed the problem, had the part on hand, replaced the part, cleaned the flame manifold as well. He was all done in less than 40 minutes..Great service, professional attitude. will use Northern when updating to a new furnace..Highly recommended!!..
Pat Okeefe
Northern was recommended to me to look at my A/C unit when it was malfunctioning. The very next morning I had a tech working on the unit. He was able to quickly diagnose the capacitor that needed to be replaced, and while there cleared debris from the unit, re-insulated the line to the house (it was crumbling apart), and performed a check of the indoor system. Ended up replacing a cracked elbow in the ducting coming from the furnace with a used (but good and free!) part he grabbed from the truck. All while being friendly and answering maintenance questions I had as a new home owner.
Maura Casey
This is a great company! Rich was super helpful, prompt, professional. They are always on time, and it is a great value.

Great value, great help, fast service, will definitely be back if I have any other problems

I had no heat at the start of a cold snap. I called and spoke to Phil. He came right out. He fixed the problem, and explained to me that my units were over 20 years old. I got a quote from him to replace my forced air furnace and air conditioner. I also got quotes from several other places in town. I liked his Integrity. He also gave me the best value for my money. He installed a new air conditioner and furnace for me. I would highly recommend Northern Heating and Cooling for all your heating and cooling needs.
Ronnie Sloan
We have had a new furnace install and replacement of a gas valve by Northern Heating 90 miles outside of town. The staff was great with diagnoses of problems over the phone, prompt with service calls, and efficient with installs and servicing problems. The staff and owner were very friendly and willing to explain all aspects of their work. They also called back and made sure we had everything correct to register the warranty on the new furnace. We would recommend them anytime!
George Liknes
I send my daughter to you people she was happy to

Ian F
It's easy to tell when someone takes pride in their work—and just as easy to tell when they don't. The technicians I worked with clearly take pride in what they do. They made sure everything not only functioned perfectly but also looked great. I really appreciate that level of care and attention to detail.
