A recent customer whose HVAC system broke said Restivo's sent an estimate and design within minutes of the visit, helped find and apply for rebates, and also did the electrical upgrades the new system needed. That customer said Jim answered their questions and submitted the rebate and energy grant applications, and that the crew were professional and communicative. Restivo's Heating & Air Conditioning works out of Johnston, Rhode Island. An achrnews.com article describes Jack Restivo as its president and owner and the business as a family company in its third generation.

It holds a 4.8-star Google rating across 1,296 ratings and an A grade with the BBB, where it is accredited and lists four complaints. A recent customer called Restivo's for a second opinion after another company quoted a full system replacement; they said Devin took the time to examine the furnace and walk them through its components without rushing. A recent customer with a new heat pump system said the technician was courteous and the work looks professional.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Restivo’s Heating & Air Conditioning, especially Devin! Last week, I had another company come out to look at my furnace. Their technician was at my house for maybe 10–15 minutes before basically telling me I needed to replace the entire system and presenting me with an outrageous quote. Something just didn’t sit right with me, and I wasn’t comfortable making such a major financial decision without getting a second opinion. I’m so glad I called Restivo’s! From the moment Devin arrived, the experience was completely different. He was incredibly friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, thorough. He took the time to actually examine my furnace, explain what he was looking at, walk me through the different components and their purposes, and make sure I understood what was going on. He didn’t rush through anything, and I never felt like I was just another customer or that he was trying to sell me something. That kind of service makes all the difference, especially when you’re dealing with something as expensive and important as your home’s heating system. After my previous experience, Devin gave me something I didn’t have before: peace of mind and confidence that I was dealing with someone who genuinely cared. I also want to point out that Devin wasn’t just representing himself that day. He was the face of Restivo’s, and he represented that company exceptionally well. Businesses are only as good as the people they send into their customers’ homes, and Devin certainly set the bar high! I HIGHLY recommend Restivo’s Heating & Air Conditioning. If you’re lucky enough to get Devin, I can personally assure you that you’ll be in excellent hands. And based on the professionalism and quality of service I experienced, I have a pretty good feeling that Restivo’s holds all its technicians to the same high standards. Thank you, Devin, for taking pride in your work, treating your customers with respect, and reminding me what outstanding customer service looks like. Restivo’s is fortunate to have you representing them, and you’ve certainly earned my trust and future business! Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Restivo’s were very professional throughout the process of replacing our broken HVAC system. The initial evaluation was painless and we received an estimate and design within minutes of the visit. They were helpful in identifying rebates we were eligible for and assisted in applying for them. Installation was scheduled in a reasonable time and the crew were very professional and communicative throughout. Restivo’s were a one shop stop, they also did the necessary electrical upgrades for our new system. Jim answered all our questions and provided the detailed documentation and submitted our applications for the rebate and energy grant programs we were eligible for. We are extremely satisfied with Restivo’s. This was a stress free process.
Your technician was courteous, professional and helpful. The quality of the work looks very professional. Im looking forward to finding out how this heat pump system will perform this coming winter.
REMOVED, PLEASE don't ever use them! I had to have them come out repeatedly to fix problems their install created, with their own products and causing extra work for my electricians.
