Cannot recommend Nick and Arend enough. We just purchased our first home and inherited an old furnace with it. We were advised by others to have it replaced immediately, but Paladin was able to fix our issues easily to save us time and money as new homeowners!

Amazing experience working with Paladin Mechanical! I will certainly be working with them again. Another company said our furnace needed to be replaced, but after calling Paladin, they quickly arrived and cleaned the flame sensor and the furnace fired up right away! Highly recommend these guys for all of your heating and cooling needs.

During a property sale, an inspection flagged two fireplaces as not working properly. We received very high repair quotes elsewhere, but Paladin came in, properly assessed the issue, and resolved it with minor repairs at a very reasonable cost. Their honesty and expertise made a stressful situation much easier. They are always reliable and solve problems efficiently and quickly. We would definitely recommend them.

We’ve used Nick several times on small and big jobs and his service and professionalism has always been outstanding. If I have any questions he picks up the phone and calls and walks me through the issue before a service call. Highly recommended!

I would like to start this review by saying both Nick and Arend deserve their 5 star rating. I had a emergency no heat issue with my furnace and they were able to show up very quickly and solve a difficult problem for a very reasonable price ,they also answered any of the questions i had. Will have them back to fix another issue i have and refer them to my friends and family.

I recently had Nick from Paladin Mechanical out to service an older radiant heating system in my bungalow. He showed up the same day, diagnosed everything clearly, and completed the work right away. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the age of the system. Because the experience was so good, I called him again to replace a furnace and air conditioning unit at one of my rental properties. Once again, Nick delivered exceptional service — he came the same day, provided a detailed quote that Thursday, and had the work completed the following week. The invoice was significantly lower than other quotes I received, and the job was finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend Nick and Paladin Mechanical. Reliable, honest, and extremely responsive. If you need HVAC or mechanical work done, he’s the guy to call.
