Jeremy was on time, was well educated on is job and explained it to me so I understood. He was polite and worked hard while he was here. I would recommend Jeremy and O’Brain for your Heating and Air needs.

We have been O'Brien customers for over 26 years. 3 new HVAC installations and a few emergency calls later and their service is still nothing short of amazing.The office response is always prompt, the technicians are courteous, friendly and efficient.Thank you for always being there when needed during emergencies.

We purchased and moved to Wilmington a little over a month ago. We immediately had problems with our newly installed Daikin unit. The unit had been installed by another organization. The guys from O’brien came to the house diagnosed the problem and reconfigured the system. Everyone, to a man,was happy and had a can do attitude. O’brien’ s owner clearly knows how to hire quality people. Thank you for all your help. I can’t say enough above the quality and professionalism of your employees.

Excellent job. Jackson and Eric went above and beyond what I expected. They showed up on time and didn't stop until my new A/C unit was installed and working as it should. Thank you so much. I appreciate how polite you were and also left everything clean and tidy.

I had the best possible experience with O'Brien. As part of a government program, I was able to have a new heat pump installed in my home. O'Brien was the company I selected for purchase and installation, and it was the best decision I could have made. Every single step in the process was seamless: from my first phone call to O'Brien to county inspection following installation of the Trane system. It was.quite a job! Jeremy Heise came over first, reviewed everything (my decrepit systems, the best heat pump for my small house, and what was involved in approvals by EnergySaverNC who was responsible for the project). Jeremy made what could have been a difficult process for me an easy one to understand. The two-day removal/installation was scheduled in no time and went without a hitch. Mike Bennett handled all walk-throughs: his attention to detail was remarkable, The work was performed by very, very skilled technicians who were also a joy to have in the house – JT Walsh, Steven Clark, Carson from Meade Electric. Jeremy was always available, Tyler Criteser and Jared Leclair came by later to double-check the fuse box: terrific technicians and wonderful guys. Abby Modlin was my patient, intrepid scheduler who also sorted out all my questions. Every one of them went over and beyond for me. Apologies for anyone I forgot to mention: you were fabulous, too. I recommend them as highly as I can and without reservation. Thank you so much, everybody. My house feels wonderful for the first time in years. It's a home.

They came out to do a complimentary inspection of drier vent. Jeremy went into attic in several access points to ensure system was functioning as it should. He confirmed the vents were clear. After all the time and effort they kept their word - did not charge at all. Refreshing to see this type of integrity. They’ll be the first I call for any future needs.

Several weeks ago, and one of the hottest days of the year, our HVAC unit went out Saturday morning 4:30 a.m. I called the afterhours number and left a message and indicated I was a member of the Energy Savings Club. I was contacted soon after and was advised they could have a technician at our house within 4 hours. I got a call from Jared LeClair around 11:00 indicating he would arrive in 20 minutes. He was very thorough in checking our unit to find the problem. He determined we had a bad circuit breaker and would have to drive across town to get a replacement at the shop in order to match our electrical panel. He took the time to drive to the shop and return with a new circuit breaker. After replacing the breaker our unit was back! He still wasn't happy with one of the numbers and added freon to the unit which did the trick. I can't say enough for his attitude and the prompt service from O'Brien. I am extremely glad I am a member of their Energy Savings Club too as I got preferred/quick service, and a discount on my invoice. A++ for O'Brien

O'Brien Service Company is excellent! Recent service was first rate across the board. Customer Service, HVAC, Plumbing, Estimating and Installation - all A+. It's not often that an entire team is so consistently customer focused.

Joe first came to our home to investigate why it was very hot on one side of the house and very cold on the other side. Joe was very polite and explained exactly what was happening and how it could be fixed to ensure it never happened again. Unfortunately the prior service we used was never a reliable or sound ac/heat company. Joe explained the current system the other company used may or may not last. I asked Joe to draw up what he thought would be the best for our current situation. Well the old system lasted three days!! We requested Joe to fix the problem with the system he provided details of. Joe did an outstanding job during the extreme heat we’ve had recently! We highly recommend Joe for any type of ac/heating issues you may have today or in the future. He’s very professional and knowledgeable!! We also highly recommend O’Brians! Excellent service always!!

I called them out spent a lot of time telling them about the specific large scope of work and set an appointment. They came out within 24 hrs. I spent about 45 minutes with them. They went into their truck and said we will have a quote for you today. I was a bit surprised but ok, then an hour later I walked out to tap on the truck window to give them all of my contact info and said you can send it to me. Feeling bad that had been sitting in their car for like an hour. They left and said we have to get our manager to get this together and we will get it to you tomorrow. That sounded more realistic. A week later I called to only hear that your job it too big, too much and we can’t handle that with our crew size. Ok but at what point should this have been determined when the call was taken with the list “scope of work?” No they didn’t even call me to tell me this is not something they could do. If you have a typical small job they are your people but that’s it. So unprofessional

Eric and Jackson were great! They were very clean and efficient and were even done a little earlier than what we were told. Also shout out to Kris for making it an easy process from start to finish. Definitely recommend O’brien for all your HVAC needs.

The technician, Jared LeClair, arrived within a couple of hours of my call (on the hottest Saturday of the year) and went straight to work replacing a capacitor and repairing a damaged duct. My house cooled from 90 degrees to 76.Thank you Jared and O’Brien for saving my weekend. I have always been pleased with your service.

Kevin came out to help us very quickly, even though it was after hours and he wasn't technically on call. All the techs were booked up and so he went above and beyond for us. He also showed me what he was doing every step of the way, so I could learn as he worked. Great experience!

I recently had issues with my air conditioning system and when I called O’Brien they were super helpful and were able to get someone out the same day to asses the problem. Thankfully they were able to get a part the next day and had my system up and running. Service technicians Joey and Kevin M were knowledgeable, professional and very polite. Lydia was also super helpful in scheduling my service. I would highly recommend this awesome company!

Jessica Kuchlbauer

21:40 17 Jul 26

I was thrilled with the service provided by OBrien. Matt really took his time going over all the options with me, answering all my questions, and completing all the paperwork needed for my rebates and warranty. DeeAnne, at the office made scheduling around my difficult work schedule a breeze. John and the install crew were clean, fast and courteous. They worked hard on a hot day to get my A/C up and running yet I hardly knew they were there.So happy with how everything worked out. I highly recommend O’Briens!

Chris Cole

Jonny came out late for a faulty blower motor service call . Motor would not start and needs to be replaced. Jonny put in the order and I spoke with Angel the next morning and she told me the motor was in stock and scheduled me for that afternoon . Jonny called in route arriving early! Jonny replaced the motor and got us back in AC quickly. Jonny did some system checks, pressures, temperatures, Amp draw and capacitor check as well as condensate drain. Service was very professional, detail oriented from a Technician that really enjoys his work.Thanks Jonny!Highly recommend O’Brien to all my friends and neighbors.

Efficient, professional, lovely team of young techs who did the job right! My house was cared for as they worked for nearly 8-hours installing my unit. It was a hot day yet these guys didn’t miss a beat. Eric, Jackson, , and Javon. From estimate to install, I’ll take O’Brien every time!

O'Brien Service Company recently replaced all the air flow tubing on our HVAC system and installed a media filter. It started with Kris, the salesman that visited our home, inspecting the system, addressed every question we had and prepared a reasonable offer that compelled us to retain O'Brien to perform the work we needed done. (We interviewed 3 of their competitors as well.) They even offered us a 3 year interest free loan, that we took advantage of!! Will and his team were great to work with. While the temperature in the attic was 130 degrees the 3 of them were undeterred and completed the job in the time planned for the removal and replacement of the air flow tubing along with making improvements in the air flow to rooms where there was barely any air flow coming thru the vents. Their tenacity in making sure we were satisfied was obvious in everything they did. Highly recommend talking with O'Brien if you have need of the services they offer. Janet and Larry Gorski

We’re thankful we chose O’Brien Service Company to install our new HVAC system. Their professionalism throughout the entire process shined above the rest. Everyone we communicated with at O’Brien‘s was detailed, organized, kind, and knowledgeable. Matt Childree was wonderful throughout the quote and design process including providing options for relocating the new HVAC system to a more ideal location. Gauge Hancock and the other team of installers treated our home like their own, but more importantly, they did an amazing job with the install and kept us informed during the installation. Thank you to the O’Brien team for giving us peace of mind and confidence knowing we chose the right service company.

We highly recommend O'Brien Service Company for water heater installation. They were very knowledgeable and were able to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. We received a fair quote with no hidden fees and stuck to it. I cannot say enough good things about Kyle and Ryan work effort. They worked efficiently, removed the tank, left our place very clean and were also able to walk us through on how our new system operates. Great price, great customer service.

20:32 26 Jun 26

Unfortunately Obrians was very late in arriving as we waited all day for a plumber to clear our kitchen sink. They finally showed up as tech was finishing up a job 10 minutes away in Calabash. The price given to me the day before was $124 to clear the clog. Upon arrival the plumber quoted $537 for a 15 minute job. He stated the $124 was a dispatch fee. The office listened to the recording and it showed a discrepancy in detail. The dispatch invoice will not be paid. I don't know how they stay in business.

We're glad we did! Our installers, Mike and Pierce, did a great job! Worked tirelessly and efficiently, were very respectful to our home, and did an excellent job of explaining different parts of the system to us!

Eric and Jackson need a raise- and motorcycles! They were polite, professional, extremely funny- and they are the two cutest installers at O’Brien! Kris also very nice and great sense of humor! No one wants their AC to give up- but if you can laugh through it, eases that financial pain significantly!

Greg Thompson

16:25 17 Jun 26

We discovered what appeared to be a water leak inside a wall around 7pm one evening. We called the after hours line and within minutes Kevin (HVAC supervisor) diagnosed the problem over the phone as a plumbing issue and referred it to an Obrien plumber, who come out right away. Chris was our plumbing technician and he was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He fixed the problem quickly, charged us fairly, and we had the problem solved by 9pm the same night. We could not have been more pleased.

Rene Denis

23:17 16 Jun 26

I was able to get same day plumbing service for an issue that was created by a handyman that I hired. When the service tech came onsite, he quickly identified the issue. He went above and beyond to get the parts that were needed and got my problem resolved. Very professional and courteous.

20:27 16 Jun 26

Give O'Brien a Chance, you will be relieved you did! Licensed Chris Perry provided excellent customer service. Chris repaired our leaky garden faucet in under an hour here in North Chase Wilmington.

17:49 16 Jun 26

I don't write many reviews but I had to for the amazing job the team of O'Briens did at our house. Our old HVAC unit finally gave up the ghost after 20+ years of service. Kris was very helpful with sales information and explained the process in an easy to understand way. The installers Mike & Pierce were awesome at installing the new unit! They took their time, were very neat and did a great job! The process from sales to installation was top notch. For anyone needing HVAC services, O'Brien Service Company is the best!

We had Obrien install a complete new HVAC system on our first floor and could not be happier with the entire process of working with them. From the first visit, going over our home space, to the financial options and finally the installation team, everything went absolutely smooth, was totally transparent, and we’re looking forward to being part of the Obrien family.

Ron Hritz

We had a great first experience with O'Brien Service Company. We called for a commercial AC inop issue on a used Bard unit we had purchased and installed ourselves. Where most companies wanted nothing to do with this type of service call, O'Brien was on location less than a few business hours and the technician was friendly and fully confident in working on our system. He was able to quickly find the issue and replaced the part right away. Now we have cold AC and at a minimal cost to get us back up and running. Thank you!

Linda Spangler

The quality of workmanship was excellent, communication throughout the job was clear, and the install was completed efficiently and cleanly. We are extremely pleased with the overall experience and the attention to detail the team provided. Great job representing the company and delivering top-notch service.

We have 2 separate HVAC systems (upstairs and downstairs) and both were over 20 years old and literally held together with duct tape. One failed and we decided it was finally time to replace both systems. We got 3 quotes and OBrien was the middle one on price, but we really liked the attention to detail of their quote as they had measured the house square footage, where windows were, and did a full inspection of the existing duct work and vents. They'd also quoted for a variable speed system which is much quieter than a standard system and this appealed to us as the outdoor units are right by our pool. After accepting their quote and paying the deposit they scheduled 3 days for installation in around 3 weeks time. Installation of both systems went smoothly and on time - they found one issue with rust in existing ductwork and gave us the option to ignore it or replace it, and we choose to do that as it wasn't too much extra. The new system is working great, its virtually silent, and we love having the option to control it by an app.

“Had two HVAC systems replaced at Saint Basil The Great Orthodox Church and the instillation by Eric, Jackson, Seth and crew went very smoothly. The professionalism, technical expertise, customer focus, creativity and attention to detail they demonstrated was unsurpassed and greatly appreciated. They came in did what needed to be done and left without a trace of them being there. They took the time to work with and communicate to the customer what they were doing and solicited input to be sure we were satisfied. They arrived on time and worked to get the project done in the time frame required, even adjusting the schedule to fit our needs. The operational training and instruction they provided was concise, understandable and effective. Would highly recommend O'Brien and look forward to working with them on our next project.”
