Jill Vidstrand
The Nichols Plumbing, Electrical, & HVAC plumbing specialist installed a water softener for my entire home. My experience with this business was positive. The plumber was informed and pleasant to work with. He was skilled and quickly resolved the hard water issue.
PLEASE READ EDIT: Though I previously had a great experience with Nichols Mechanical, at this point I’m not sure what to think about their integrity. After I paid quite a bit for the installation of a water pressure regulator, a service required for me to get homeowner’s insurance, the technician left me with the electrical component of a Moen Smart Valve and a vague mention of someone coming to finish the job. It’s been three weeks now and I’ve not heard from them. We shall see…
PLEASE READ NEW EDIT 🙂 Today Nichols Mechanical came through in a wonderful way! Thank you so much for all of you expertise, communication, and the amazing way you all worked together to finish my high water pressure issue. Now my home warranty will cover claims on any plumbing issues in the future and I’m on my way to being able to get homeowner’s insurance! Marvelous job!

The date of service this young man, Nicholas went over and beyond to help me. The young man since my frustration and my hands were tied, but he worked with me. He reassured me and his work was over and above. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs any Heating any of this services.
Me being a senior citizen I am so big on Customer Service. People reiterating him back and communicating like they said. The word is all they have and. Though I was frustrated, they worked with me and it was great. I highly recommend this service.

I needed a plumber to repair a leak under my sink, and they came to my house on short notice. Justin, the plumber, was friendly and efficient. He quickly resolved my problem. I would not hesitate to use Nichols Mechanical and Plumbing again!
Suzanne Parker
Our walk in freezer stopped working. Our usual repair guy was out with an injury and he recommended NM to help us out. I called them and spoke with Sierra. What a wonderful person. Very pleasant and attentive. My service guy was Michael. He came out, went over the inside and rooftop part of the unit. He was able to diagnose the issue(s), got us an estimate asap. Although parts did have to be ordered(it happens) which slows down the repair process a bit, repairs were made and she is workin like a charm. Thank You so much Nichols Mechanical for saving us. Our students thank you as well.
Sharon Clarke
I recently had Nichols Mechanical install 3 minisplits in my mobile home in Cottonwood. From the minute Michael walked in the door, I knew I was getting someone who knew what he was doing. That made me feel very confident in choosing Nichols Mechanical to install my equipment. I have seldom seen someone so throughly knowledgeable about the mechanics of a product. Usually you get a sales rep of some kind, not a true technician. I really enjoyed dealing with the entire crew at Nichols Mechanical, and already have them scheduled to do another job for me.
Isabella Greene
From the friendly and knowledgeable person who took my calls, Sierra, to the diligent and thorough technician Mike who serviced my unit, I had a great experience with Nichols Mechanical so far. They came across as honest and highly professional. Mike pretty much put my entire massive old unit apart and found all kinds of weirdness including a fried centipede in the wiring, and burnt out wires that he fixed. Although it was just a routine check-up job, and Mike had to leave in a hurry because his boss was insistently calling him to be at a different job so he didn’t even have a chance to check if the unit was working after he put it back together, I could see that he gave it all he had. I found out on my own that the unit is working better now and I am very pleased. I was looking for a new honest and reliable HVAC company and I believe I found it. Thank you, Nichols Mechanical!

Nichols put in our air condition unit and furnace. they did an amazing job, this was last year, this year we had them do a check up too make sure all is good. they are very prompt, and polite.
Anne Davidson
Kenny did a great job. Very attentive to mechanical and servicing needs. Also, drained and disconnected the evap cooler for winter. We’ve used Nichols Mechanical for five years now, going on six and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Mal Craig
I am retired now but worked construction my whole life — carpentry, electrical, masonry — all except plumbing. So when I sprang a leak, Nichols sent someone out first thing Saturday morning. Most all other shops were closed. But what set this guy apart was their plumber really took pride in his work. Believe me, workers know workers, and this guy cared enough to do things right. Those small details become huge. Someone who just goes thru the motions and “punches the clock” his repair may leak again in a couple years. But with Nichols you can relax and know things are done right and will last. If I could give their plumber 10 stars I would. AA++ work! Thank you!
Velic Kael
Nichols Mechanical came out over the weekend when I had an emergency and my water heater went out on friday night. They were very responsive when I called and fixed my water heater the next day in the morning. Im very happy with their service and my new water heater works great.
