Vinje & Son Sheet Metal

I had Vinje's design my HVAC duct system for my two story, 2400 sqft home. They have some good units available but the upcharge is something each individual person needs to decide for themselves. The upcharge on goodman and rhudd 14 seer units were not worth it for me and their daikin unit would not work for the size of my property. Their calculations provided a final design but left much to be desired.

I liked the pricing on their stock sheet metal items, dampers, wyes, ducts, boot boxes, but I opted to purchase flex ducts that are sold in even dimensions at Lowes.

Their sheet metal custom work is expensive but definitely quality. Unfortunately I picked up half my order and realized the custom return duct didn't fit(cost me 280 dollars), they also charged me a custom transition charge(140 dollars) which I assumed would be part of the return ducting but the pricing was separate and I approved of it by reducing a few other items. Since the return duct is messed up, the transition is as well. I called about possible resolution possibilities and Vinje's is willing to provide a 50% discount. Unfortunately, I cannot trust them to complete it correctly again as the dimensions I provided seemed to be enough for them the first time, but if I am providing the dimensions again and it still doesn't work then it is on me.
There were things that were missed by Vinje's via email the first time from my dimensions I provided or confused them.

Overall, I do not recommend ordering custom sheet metal from them unless they can provide a better guarantee(no returns for custom sheet metal) or if you are just ordering a box. All their heat pumps are somewhat overpriced compared to online dealers, but that is because they are locally available to provide support so it makes sense.

Use them for duct calculations designs but don't expect too much detail unless you ask all the questions.

I will still utilize them in the future and have a lot of appreciation for these people, but there is a lot left to be desired.

Vinje's is fantastic. Highly recommend.
I ended up in a DIY situation with a heat pump missing from a prior install and had inherited nearly $700/mo winter electric bills. Not having cash for $14k replacement, with their help, I managed to get a full replacement with an updated new air handler & heat pump for about $6k (all in, new thermostat, refrigerant, etc). Literally the screw holes on the tin matched on the new unit (drop in replacement, zero tin work).
I'm still very low on funds, but appreciate what Vinje's has done for me every damn day, and more importantly, my son and wife are comfortable, and money saved is better put towards his college fund. Because of good people like this, others end up stronger and healthier, the way it ought to be for everyone.

Thank you Vinje & Sons. 🙏😎

Needed a custom chimney cap built, plus misc wood stove parts. The cap was delivered ahead of schedule, and was made to our specification - it fit perfectly. Will recommend them without reservations to my friends!

My wife and I installed a new furnace, duct work, and Air Conditioning unit courtesy of Vinje and Sons. The staff were very helpful from the initial planning stages, to manufacturing/ordering the parts, and last minute wiring questions. We plan on using them again in future renovation projects.

Bought a furnace a few years ago. Today I bought A.C. (7/8/21). Manager, Craig, helped me both times.

Everyone in the shop was and is super helpful. They walk you through every step of the way. You will forget about something inevitably. But don't worry they have your back like they did today.

Best DIY guys around. Next time your ac or furnace goes out, don't call the repair people. Call Vinje, and let them help you fix it yourself. FYI, damn good prices as well. Home depot can't compare.

My furnace started making funny noises and smells, gas company detected unsafe CO levels, shut off the gas and like that I was looking at spending $3-8k for somebody else to install a new furnace.

The unexpected expense was going to force my hand away from other needed - - and saved for - - projects. I was still shopping contractors when I found Vinje and Son sheet metal and diy heating and cooling. Where most dealers only sell to contractors, Vinje claimed not only to sell to the end user, but also to offer guidance and support for the equipment install while guaranteeing a valid warranty on parts. Sweet, I thought. Let's check this out.

They helped select a machine, tools and equipment. They even guided me through the setup and measuring for custom adapter pieces so I could fit my new furnace into existing ductwork. Through text/over the phone.

Including the cost of the permit from the city, total cost to install was still nearly a grand less than the lowest bid, all for a few hours of elbow grease, some youtube videos and info sheets and explanations from Craig. Now I am toasty warm and back in business just in time for the late winter snow day.

Expect 2-3 days turnaround time for custom parts.

Good luck! And don't forget to check your vent seals...

Really great service- highly recommend. They took the time to design custom ductwork for my DIY heat pump install. They also sell everything you need for a DIY ductless heat pump install.

We were looking to add AC to our house and going with Vinje & Son saved us half of what we would have normally paid for full service AC install.

They're a DIY shop and they'll provide you plenty of information to get your system up and running but you will be doing a lot of the install work yourself. Final connections for the copper lines are done by a licensed tech and Vinje's will give you a referral. So long as you good with this arrangement there is a lot of money to be saved by the home owner for the same or better quality of equipment that you can get from another HVAC company.

Happy customer, comfortable recommending them to others, will use them again.

AC Compressor/Fan Dual Start Capacitor Failed during hot weather. Spent hours calling around town looking for one and nobody wanted to sell to someone that was not an HVAC Contractor. Kept asking who sold to non-HVAC Contractor and someone finally referred me to Vinje & Son. Called, a live person answered the phone (Craig), and they had exactly what I needed and were willing to put in on hold while I charged over there (pun intended). The new capacitor was slightly larger, so they even cut a sheet metal strap for fastening. Excellent customer service. Thank you as you made me look like a hero for getting the AC going again. Will definitely use again. Much appreciated!

Vinje & Son is an amazing shop and an even better team! They have always taken the time to give me advice and walk me through my situation when I needed them. When our AC unit needed to be replaced they got us an amazing deal on a new unit and connected us with a super reasonable contractor to charge it up.

At our current house I thought the AC unit was out too and after talking to them on the phone I was able to remove the capacitor and they sold me a replacement that I could install myself. Saved me a ton of money by doing it myself. Most contractors would sell that part for 5 times as much and then charge to install it. It was super easy after talking to Vinje & Son's staff.

Can't recommend this shop enough.

UPDATE:

Vinje and Son's just saved Christmas for us! Our heat stopped working today and after calling Vinje's they talked me through a simple few steps and I got or furnace working again! No money spent!! That is integrity! They easily could have used our desperate position to charge us extra, instead they just helped us.

Our furnace is old, when we really do have to replace it, I'll be shopping at Vinje's!
