Highly Recommend. He did some duct work for us. Gave us an estimate and fitted us in the next day as we were in a hurry. Work was completed on time and no surprise charges. When our AC had some unrelated issues later on, he prioritized our call as existing customers and was there within hours to help. If you want someone who will do an honest repair for a fair price, this is your man.
I was able to get an appointment same day, 4/17/2023. The HVAC compressor is going wrong, but Mike was able to install a hard start to help start the compressor. The HVAC compressor is still running!!. Thank you, he saved me a lot of money
Quickly response and resolved the issue with low cost. Recommend service.
My mom loves you and wanted me to let the world know "If you are looking for a great HVAC repairman, I highly recommend Michael Bettius. Bettius Mechanical Heating and Air Conditioning. My HVAC quit working and he went onto the roof and found someone had turned off the disconnect to my unit. He refused to charge me anything even tho he came from Woodbridge. Fine and ethical repairman!"
straight talker, no B.S service. fast, reliable, consistent and available in a pinch. custom built HVAC job, great sense of humor, kind, and hardworking. the only HVAC man I recommend.
My front air handler went bad and was leaking into my neighbor's unit. Mike Bettius came by that very evening to inspect the problem and was able to install a new air handler and heat pump the next day. This included getting the heat pump onto the roof of a 4-story walkup and my condo was cool that evening. He had to special order the air handler door, which took several weeks to get it installed (purely cosmetic), but I didn't have to pay anything until the whole job was completed. I didn't get other actual estimates, but his prices seemed very fair from looking online. He also gave me a couple of options about units I could install and didn't charge more for putting in the more expensive unit, which is how it should work but often doesn't. He had to cut out a portion of my wall to get the new air handler installed. I was responsible for the drywall and paint repair, but he also recommended somebody who I used and who did such a good job with that that I hired him for 2 more painting jobs. Finding a great house painter was an added bonus I wasn't expecting. All-in-all, the job went smoothly, quickly, and it was affordable. I couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely use him again if I have other HVAC needs.
Highly recommend! This guy is Superman. My AC unit was broken in the heat of summer and I had two technicians (scammers) come by and try to say I need to buy a completely new unit ($6,000), I knew it was BS. I waited a little bit and finally had a friend recommend Bettius, he came by and found/fixed the issue in 30 minutes! Give them a call!
I have utilized Bettius Mechanical services for over 10+ years for air conditioning, heating and other services and repair , including annual inspections. Mr. Bettius and staff have always been excellent with service and response to any service needed. I have always felt pricing/ cost of services were very fair and not inflated, and I have recommended Bettius Mechanical many times to family and friends.
I've used Mike Bettius for heating and air conditioning repairs and general maintenance for over 35 years, and can attest that he is the best, and that you will be pleasantly surprised at his professionalism, honesty, and the price. I hope he doesn't retire any time soon.
We were in need of a new heat pump system and received two estimates - one from a 'heavily advertised' company and one from Bettius Mechanical HVAC (who we had used previously). Bettius Mechanical HVAC's owner, Mike, gave us a quote that was $4000 less than the other company. Because we knew, from our previous dealings with Bettius, that they were reliable and trustworthy, we went ahead with them for the purchase and installation. Mike installed the new system, with warranty, in a timely, professional and skilled manner. No need to go to anyone else...they get the job done!
We called Mike about an issue we had with our heat pump not turning on. He arrived arrived 45 minutes later and had the heat back up and running in less than an hour. We couldn’t be happier with the job he did. He is extremely polite, works quickly and makes sure to get the job done as fast as possible. We will definitely recommend in the future!!
Wow! AC went out on a Sunday night. My wife and I kept calling all the big names and couldn’t get an appointment. I came across Bettius and called - Mike answered and came within an hour. Great prices as well. He has definitely earned my business!
Middle of July temperature is 100, I was away at my son's baseball tournament, and our air conditioner went out at home. Well I called the guy who installed it years ago. He asked when was it installed I said I guess a few years ago, well he looks it up, and it was twelve years ago to be exact. I though well at least I've not had trouble in 12 years so that's good. Anyway, he's in northern Virginia, I'm in Maryland, but he say's he'll come over tonight. I tell him my wife will be there but I'm out of town. He showed up promptly, with his helper, quickly diagnosed the problem (the AC Capacitor) changed it, that night, and was so reasonable, I still sing his praises. So, if you need air conditioning or heating and desire great, honest, prompt, professional work, call Bettius, they're the best.
We've used Bettius for about 3 years now. We can't say enough good things about him! He's always honest and he never looks to gouge you. He is so accommodating, so much so that he came to our house at 10pm to service the hvac in preparation for an inspection. His work is top quality and he is extremely knowledgeable. His prices are extremely fair. There needs to be more people like him. He's fantastic! If you're looking for someone who won't steer you wrong, he's your guy.
I've used Mike 3 or 4 times now. He's honest about what needs to be done, he shows up promptly, and he has very fair prices. On top of all that he's honestly a good guy. I tried 5 or 6 other HVAC companies in the area before I found him and will continue to use him for as long as possible. I've never had a better experience with any service company (HVAC or otherwise) and couldn't recommend him more.
Landlord for over 20 years. Finally, an air conditioning repair person who isn't trying to up-sell or charge outrageous prices. Based on past experiences, my SOP has become: get the estimate, get parts somewhere else, and repair myself. I cannot count the times over the years that an AC person has come out with the boilerplate response -- "you need a new igniter and capacitor which will cost $250 EACH to repair". What a JOKE for such repairs. Let alone whether such repairs were even needed. Bettius Air is not like this. Their prices are so reasonable and experience so superior, that even if I could self repair for a little cheaper, I, in most cases, would not. With Bettius, my most recent diagnosis AND repair was cheaper than the diagnosis fee alone of a larger, well known AC company. I can't imagine what I would have paid (diagnosis cost + repair cost) if I had gone with the other company. Thank goodness I went with Bettius. It took years, but I have finally found an AC person I could TRUST and RESPECT. Super experienced and reasonable pricing. Yes!! at least one exists. Bettius Air is my goto company for AC repair. I highly recommend Bettius!!! I would give more stars if I could.
Mike is awesome. AC died and he swiftly gave me the straight truth. He’s arguably one of the most straight forward, no BS guys I’ve ever met. He allowed me to pay in installments, which helps a great deal. Overall, excellent service and he backs it up with his experience. Definitely would recommend. He may not be a great driver (as noted by someone) but he’s one hell of a HVAC pro.
The person, I'm assuming his name is mike, passed me in the bettius van on the right hand side on a single lane road. Besides potentially causing an accident, he told me to go home to my wife when I called him to complain. Not only is he unprofessional he is also a danger to others on the road. DO NOT HIRE!
If you’re looking for top knotch HVAC support, high quality workmanship, and great prices without all the gimmicks and sales pushes, Bettius HVAC is the one! I just bought my first home and needed a new HVAC (both furnace and AC). Being a complete novice and a female, it is so easy to see the games some of these companies play. I got 5 different quotes from small HVAC companies to big and everything in between. Mike Bettius was a recommendation from my coworker and I am so thankful. Mike is a straight shooter and respects the customer, there are no sales games being played with him. He truly takes pride in his work and his company. There are no sales pitches or trying to upsell. It’s a rarity to find an honest man with great skill who isn’t taking advantage of consumers who don’t know HVAC. He wasn’t the cheapest quote I obtained but was absolutely the best. Custom metal work included. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Mike Bettius replaced our heat pump after it conked out during the hottest week of the summer. Mike is a straight-shooter, and he and his crew were hard-working, reliable, and went the extra mile during the installation.
