Verified record
Oak Run Heating carries a 4.4-star Google rating from 5 ratings. A Maine HVAC licence, number JY30014284, is active on the state registry; the holder of record is Christopher K. Colson. In a 2025 review, a customer said Chris Colson handled an emergency and came back to double-check that everything was running properly. A 2024 customer called Chris kind and professional. A 2022 customer wrote that he made every effort to personally respond, even to new customers, and charged a lot less than the big companies. That 2022 reviewer recommended him as a heating maintenance and repair vendor. Reaching him was the complaint. A 2022 customer who had a furnace service done years earlier said that in later years they never reached anyone when they called and got no return call to messages. In a 2021 review, a customer said he was too busy to do the job but answered his phone and tried to assist.
I cannot speak highly enough of Chris Colson. He handled an emergency that we had with such a great attitude! He came back and double checked everything a few times to make sure that everything was running properly. He is such a nice man and doesn’t make a big deal about anything. I would recommend him very highly.
Chris is one of the kindest and most professional person I have dealt with. Goes beyond expectations.
Years ago, I had good rapport with the owner and had a furnace service done. But in the past years when I call, I never reach anyone, and if the mailbox actually allows me to leave a message, then I don't get a return call. I won't try anymore.
This is the guy you want on your side. Makes every effort to personally respond, even to new customers -- and during heating season in Maine, that is like gold. He's down to earth, capable, kind and helpful. He does good work with courtesy, follow through, and charges a lot less than the big companies -- who often can't flex to fix your furnace when it goes out unless you're on their service plan already (which is understandable but still no consolation when your pipes are freezing and your kid is shivering). He probably doesn't need your business, but if you're looking for a heating maintenance and repair vendor, this is who you want! He'll do right by you.
Very helpful but too busy to do job. However he answered his phone and tried to assist. 5 big stars for around here. Usually a recorder and rarely a returned called elsewhere. I will try again
