Premier Heating and AC is a heat pump and HVAC company that describes its work as heat pump and ductless mini-split installation, furnace and boiler repair, and AC service across Central Vermont, and says it has been in business 5 years. A vtdigger.org piece names Tony Rowell as owner of Premier Heating and AC in Barre. A recent Google customer who got four quotes for a Fujitsu mini-split said Tony was quickest to do a site visit, that the estimate was the one they went with, and that the crew showed up as scheduled; they used the air conditioning during a hot spell right after the install. A recent customer said Liam cleaned their heat pump system and got the interior units looking brand new. A recent customer said Dylan arrived early and was thorough with their furnaces. A 2026 customer said Tony came on site several times to answer questions and give an estimate before his team installed a new heating system. A 2025 customer said the company installed a heat pump system for much less than other estimates and came back to do extra work at no charge after a screened porch was added where the lines ran. In a 2023 review, a customer whose 163-year-old home was affected by flooding said Tony replaced heat pumps that were not operating properly with an upgraded model without charging for the extra labor or units. A 2022 customer said Tony found a leak at a chipped flare on a mini split another installer had put in, using a micron gauge. A 2025 Reddit commenter in r/vermont wrote that they had worked with Premier Heating & AC out of Barre and that it had been great. A recent customer said a friend they referred for an install left a voice mail, never heard back and went with another company. A 2025 customer said their system works fine but they never got directions on using it alongside their other heating source.
“We’ve worked with Premier Heating & AC out of Barre, and they’ve been great!”
““They don’t even look at the forecast,” Tony Rowell, owner of Premier Heating and AC in Barre, said of new customers seeking air conditioning.”
Small family run business, just one town over from me. They are the best.
Dylan arrived early and was prompt and thorough in his handling of our furnaces.
We had Dylan Downing do our service. He was very friendly and informative. Very happy with the work that he did.
Excellent service, came for maintenance and happily corrected a few minor issues…
Premier provided excellent service and was responsive to our need and technical questions about a Fujitsu mini-split. I got four quotes for my residential job and Tony was quickest in doing a site visit as well as providing a very competitive estimate that we ultimately went with. The crew showed up as scheduled and completed the work in a timely and professional way. We were delighted to immediately use the air conditioning during the hot spell when the system was installed. We highly recommend Premier and intend to have them service our new system.
