We know you have several options when it comes to Heating & Cooling contractors. It is hard to compare businesses as we all go about doing business in different ways.
Our family has been in the HVAC trades for 5 generations going back a century. Our cofounder Earl Christensen started in the trades after World War II when Earl Christensen came back from service, and started working for his uncle at Schank & Christensen. When his uncle decided to close up shop instead of selling the business, Earl decided to go into business with Joe Wisnet (senior). Our first Christensen & Wisnet location opened up in 1966 on Outagamie Street in Appleton, WI. We delivered fuel oil to the valley as well as full service to their heating and cooling systems. Joe Wisnet (son) took over the business from his father upon his unexpected passing, and with time John Christensen purchased his side from his father in the 80's.
John & Joe helped convert our company from a small scale business into a much larger one with growing our business and expanding into additional markets. In the late 90's early 00's we sold our Oil Company to what is now US Ventures, and we bought their HVAC company's assets to grow our business. We have always been about honesty, but John & Joe cemented our internal saying of "Profit if we can, at a loss if we must". This means that we always try to keep our company healthy, but if something goes wrong we do not hide from it and we fix it at whatever cost is needed to keep ourself to our high standards.
Today we are operated by the fifth generation Andy Christensen & Dan Christensen. They have been brought up through the company learning all the important aspects as well as learning the ethics that have made our company the staple it is in the valley. Expect the same quality service you have received from us, always! We have been here for you, and we will be here for you long into the future.
We were one of the best in the valley (finalist or winner) in Post Crescent's Best of the Valley in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. When we reach out to customers to share their feedback we are currently at a 99.7%+ satisfaction rate. We truly care about running our business ethically and upfront. Our reviews are there for the reading. We do not modify or suppress bad reviews. They are so few and far between, and that is a pure testament to our technicians, estimators, and office staff doing a great job.
There are certainly companies out there with high pressure tactics, you won't find that here. We take a different approach than most others in that we price our work at a fair price, so that we aren't desperate to raise our ticket cost, crazy isn't it? While we certainly have products/services we can recommend, our technicians are out to recommend something becuase they truly believe in it. We do not tell employees to push products, and the amounts we give to technicians for addons is balanced so that money is not a driving factor for them. It's important to us that you trust what our technicians tell you, and you are able to build a rapport with us long term.
Our estimators are prior service technicians that understand equipment. They bring a whole different approach to sales. Our estimators are very low pressure, and their primary goal is to take measurements and find options that work for your home. They want to give you choices and if you're ever ready to go, they can help coordinate the work for you. We know that long term by being trustworthy, and low pressure, that we will be successful.
If you ever feel that you were pressured into doing or buying anything please report it to us. We take it very seriously.
We are human, we can make mistakes. Sure it isn't often, and we try our best to make sure they are few and far between, but it happens! It's important to us that you are comfortable with our installations and service. For installation, we back our installs with a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the equipment or we sized it incorrectly, we will make it right. For service, if an issue occured from a mistake of ours we make it right. Please let us know immediately if you have any problems with services or equipment. We care deeply about your happiness and satisfaction with our work. If you have anything to report, please do so!
Our goal is to build a long term relationship with our customers and be the company they call without hesitation. We have no interest in throwing away something we work so hard to build.
In today's world it seems like businesses have really lost their touch on how to treat employees like the important assets to the business that they are. We believe by putting the employee first and making sure they have a say in how we operate, being treated with dignity and respect, able to communicate issues without being chastised and that they have a proper work-life balance and not getting burned out. Other HVAC companies can have work weeks up to 60 hours during busy parts of the year. That is not healthy, and we will have no part of that.
We try to keep weeks a close to 40 as possible, and only when needed maybe an extra job at the end of the day. Without us taking care of our team and putting them as a priority, you, our customer, would not receive good quality work. By being employee focused we provide even better service from rested, happy person to our entire customer base. That's one of the reasons our employee retention is incredibly high, and why our customers REALLY love our technicians.
We are one of the most technologically advanced HVAC contractor you will find. Starting in 2007, Dan Christensen started working on bringing our company into the current century. In 2009 we decided that instead of buying our software we were going to build everything ourselves. All of our software, website content, marketing materials, and social media is handled entirely by Dan.
We built everything ourselves. You will never find an experience like ours because nobody has the tools we have.
And just because we have all this technology, we will never forget about being available to our customers on the phone. Someone will answer the phones directly during business hours, that will be able to help you out with anything you need. Whether you want high tech, low tech, or no tech, we got you covered.
