Step 1: Send a Referral

Step 2: We Deliver White-Glove Service

Our licensed, NATE-certified technicians complete the requested repair, maintenance, or equipment installation with the high standard of care your referral deserves.

Once your referrals complete their qualifying services, the $50 Amazon gift card earned for the successful referral will be mailed.

The extra $100 equipment credit is a once-annually benefit when the customer completes their 3 successful referrals.

What counts as a successful referral?

A successful referral occurs when a new customer who has not previously used Althoff Home Services schedules and completes a paid service visit or equipment installation with our team. The new customer must mention the referrer’s name for them to receive credit.

Is there a limit to how many $50 gift cards I can earn?

Brian was our tech at my dad's place. He did an HVAC checkup. My 99 yr old dad wanted to go to the basement with Brian so she could see what Brian recommended. He took the time to explain everything to dad, which I thought was so nice, given the fact it took dad awhile to get down the stairs! Great service.

We are so pleased with the work Victor and Braden did-- professional, friendly, fast, and with great explanations. We could not be happier with their work, as we always are with your company's work. The Daikin unit is working perfectly, keeping our open concept kitchen, family room, music room, and dining room a uniform, warm temperature. THANKS!!!

Matthew was such a pleasure to work with. He explained everything in layperson terms. Which I appreciated because I was extremely stressed out from the whole issue at hand. He gave me several different options to deal with the water damage and diagnose the source of the problem. of the leak. In conclusion, I would and will go to Altoff for all my future plumbing needs.

We use Althoff Home Services for almost all of our HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical needs. Pros: - It is easy to schedule an appointment with them. If you are a member of their White Glove Club, you get priority scheduling. - They spend time explaining the work they perform and any recommendations they have. - Their pricing is transparent. Everything is quoted and sent via email, so you know what you are paying every time they come to your house. - Their employees do not work on commission, so there are no high-pressure sales tactics unlike some of their competitors. Cons: - Some of their services are a little expensive. I would hire a handyman to do things like re-seat a toilet or replace a faucet in lieu of hiring of one of their professional plumbers. - They charge to come out to your house to give pricing estimates, but will deduct this from your bill should you choose to use them. I highly recommend Althoff’s and their team of professional staff!
