Professional and pride in a job well done. Two things most businesses fall short of these days. Not at Intermountain however. From the estimate given by Brad, to the install completed by Jeff my experience was nothing less than spectacular. If anyone asked me to recommend a HVAC contractor, without hesitation it would be Intermountain. Jeff and Brad are to be commended. Employees like them are few and far between. Kudos!

Thanks for taking the time to follow up with the call and then coming out to the house. Cracking the window has helped subdue the gas smell, keeps the house from getting so hot and gives a peace of mind knowing that there is no gas leak.

I don't often write reviews - this is my first in about five years. But this one is justified because of the exceptional end-to-end experience I had with the Intermountain team. I was having problems with my Jotul gas stove, and after being declined for servicing by other businesses that sold these units, Intermountain enthusiastically booked an appointment for a technician to visit my home despite them not retailing with Jotul.
I had to reschedule twice, but they didn't blink, steadfast in their commitment to service. Russell visited my home last month, arriving a few minutes early, and performed a complete servicing of the unit within an hour. My home has since maintained a consistent temperature during these cold months in Helena, all thanks to Intermountain. I can't recommend them enough - they take on any challenge and treat their customers with unwavering respect.
Look no further for your heating and A/C needs! EDIT: I was not asked to leave this review. In fact, I contacted Intermountain asking them how I can do so - just another demonstration of their focus on delivering results and letting those outcomes do the talking for them.

A business is only as good as their employees and I have to say, you guys have nailed it! Chad and his partner were absolutely amazing gentleman from the minute they walked in the door. They spent 2 days at our new house installing a new heating system and the entire time they were incredibly polite, informative, and even offered to walk us through everything they did to make sure we were completely happy.
