The Benefits of Water Heater Maintenance

We recommend having your water heater inspected and flushed at least once a year by a trained professional. Here’s why water heater maintenance is so important:

Sediment can build up in the tank over time and hinder the water heater’s performance and efficiency;
Energy bills increase as water heater efficiency decreases;
A water heater that has to work too hard on a daily basis will break down and need to be replaced sooner than planned;
Small leaks that go unnoticed by an untrained eye can get worse and put you at risk for water heater failure;
You’ll save money overall by keeping all your appliances working properly.

If your water heater is hidden in a lonely corner of your home and you can’t remember the last time you had it checked, it’s time to give our team a call. We’ll make sure any issues that might be in the works are put to rest before they escalate.

We recently had a new boiler installed (converting from oil to gas) and were very impressed with the work. Air Specialties and specifically Lee, was reliable, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly.The installation was done neatly and on schedule, and everything has been running smoothly since. We would gladly recommend them to anyone in need of heating work!

Mike from Air Specialties was fantastic! He diagnosed an issue with our air conditioner and was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to clearly explain the problem in terms we could understand. Mike stayed until everything was working properly and made sure we were completely comfortable with the results.

I have been a homeowner in the Milford, CT, area since 1974, and, through the years, have had difficulty finding a reliable and trustworthy furnace and central air service. I am in my fourth year with this company and couldn't be more pleased. I have the full service contract and am very happy with their promptness, professionalism and courtesy. ...Two years have passed since the comments above, and, in 2024, Air Specialties continues to promptly provide extraordinary service whether the job is great or small!! ...Another year has passed, and Air Specialties continues to provide prompt, courteous and reliable service!!! Both AC and furnace are running fine 24/7!!

I had my first HVAC checkup and maintenance today with two technicians from Air Spec - Jim and Zack. They carefully explained everything that they would doing and took extra time listen to my questions and concerns. They were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The office staff kept me apprised of a short delay due to unusual weather conditions today. I have already committed to my next visit from Air Spec as feel that my system is in good hands.

I purchased a new HVAC unit with heat coil from Air Specialties about 2 years ago. At the time, I reached out to several HVAC companies. Air Specialties was the only company that I felt actually heard what I was looking for and did not try to upsell.Recently I had two service pros - Jim and Zack come out for A/C maintenance. They were both very friendly and knowledgeable. They explained everything they were doing. They were efficient, professional, helpful and personable!I have been using Air Specialties for 8+ years for maintenance, emergency services and new HVAC unit. The entire company has proven to be friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and timely! Excellent customer service!

I would not recommend this company.. for one they were never responsive on the phone and would never call back with emergencies, secondly were out 4 times and still could not fix the problem. Charged us for each visit, replaced parts that were not faulty such as a 300 dollar thermostat that was working fine. The last straw was when they were suppose to order a part that was under warranty and reported they would call when the part was available. Hence one month later and several phone calls to office and they stated each time that they have to talk with the technician and get back to us and also act like they have no idea what we are talking about.. moved onto a better company and the problem was fixed with the new part within aweek. Horrible company and service.. honestly would not even give a 1 star..

Schedule an appointment with Jeremy in the office for Monday April 12, 2025. I had requested a morning appointment with the tech Mike. I was told Mike was not available till the afternoon so I schedule for 3:00 pm. I receive a call at 1:15 the day of the app by Jeremy if could I be home earlier. My response was 2:00, Jeremy let me call you back, my response ok the 1:45. Answer the door and it’s not Mike. Nothing against the tech I called the office again squeaking to Jeremy, he said Mike wasn’t available in the afternoon today. Not only did they, Jeremy change my scheduled appointment, also changed the tech without any notice, yet! Jeremy knew this morning that Mike would not be available. I then asked for a discount for the inconvenience, according to Jeremy the manager Bob said “no discount” because a different tech arrived instead of Mike! That’s nonsense, Jeremy caused the entire app to change yet claiming it is what it is. I asked to speak to the owner, what a surprise the owner, the manager both are not available to speak to me. I know one or both are sitting in the office, it’s a tactic used when someone does not want to get on the phone. After 25 years of using this company “ a huge disappointment on how my app today was handled. The front line in any business is the office staff, Jeremy is not a person to be answering and scheduling appointments. Poor unprofessional business practice with him. Need to do better with a loyal, long time customer!!!

Unfortunately our gas furnace decided to die just after the new year. We decided to contract Air Specialties HVAC to replace the furnace and upgrade our antiquated analog thermostat. This was absolutely the right decision; they promptly responded the very next day and quickly had the new furnace up and running. The technicians were professional, courteous and thorough. I give my highest recommendation for all your HVAC needs. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[January 2024 follow up: Called Air Specialities for an annual checkup. Service was friendly and competent, as usual. Learned further details about our boiler and maintaining it properly. Reasonable fees for the checkup and minor replacement part needed. Always a pleasure working with AS!] Gave a great price when we needed a new boiler back in 2020. Installed promptly and professionally, and they came back to ensure all was working well. They have responded both times we have needed some assistance, and they diligently set about finding a solution each time. Always friendly, prompt, personable, and professional.

Air Specialties just performed my annual AC service. I’ve used them for a number of years now. Mike is the reason why I sign up each year as he always provides a thorough professional experience each time! I also want to commend the office people. They are pleasant to speak with. Not many places have great service these days. Thank you for being so pleasant.
