Washington’s Top Rated Local® HVAC Award Winner: McFarland Heating and Air

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that McFarland Heating and Air is a 2018 award winner!

With an average rating of 5.00 stars and a 97.00 Rating Score™, McFarland Heating and Air has earned a spot among the top 10 HVAC companies in Washington. These are three of the positive reviews that got them here:

“Howard came out today for an annual furnace inspection. He was on time, professional, and very courteous. Howard provided expert advice and took the time to answer all of my questions. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely use them in the future for all of my HVAC needs. Bonus points to McFarland for working on Saturdays and Sundays!” -K.M

“My furnace didn’t seem to start and Howard came out to my property the same day, only to confirm that nothing appeared to be wrong with it other than that a cover may not have been put back on right after I had checked the filters. He didn’t even charge for the service call, as their business is close [to] my house. I will definitely call on them again if something actually will need repairing!” -A.J

“These guys are great. Fast, friendly, affordable and knowledgeable. After a week of freezing in our house and calling various other service providers, they came out within a couple of hours and fixed our furnace problem (a broken igniter) in 30 minutes. They also cleaned some of the other furnace parts, explained everything to us in detail and charged us a price that was lower than their competitors. Recommended this small company to all of my family and friends and would use them again without hesitation.” -J.L

Not Your Average HVAC Company

Howard McFarland, owner of McFarland Heating and Air, took some time to chat with us.

When asked what sets his business apart from other HVAC companies, he said, “The truth is, bigger companies will answer service requests by sending out a salesperson. That salesperson has a quota they have to meet, so they will bid the job based on the maximum amount of money they can squeeze out of you. After they sell you, you’ll never hear from them again. We don’t make a living out of selling people something they really don’t need, so we try very hard to match every customer with what they need. The square footage of a house can make a big difference as to what kind of unit they need, and an elderly woman living alone in a trailer simply does not need the top of the line, industrial sized unit.”

Building Success Through Honesty and Hard Work

So, why do Howard and his team do what they do? “We actually do help people. And that is satisfying work. I worked at a bigger company one time that had a guy charge someone $500 when the only thing wrong was the person accidentally tripped a breaker and the A/C turned off. That’s wrong. We would rather help that person fairly now and hope that we can earn their business in the future.”


Thanks for speaking with us, Howard. Congratulations to the team at McFarland Heating and Air for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!

For expert HVAC services in Snohomish, we highly recommend McFarland Heating and Air.
