We had a very good experience with Riverway and would recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing service. I was able to setup an appointment quickly, the service technicians were very professional and kind, and the quality of the work feels top-notch. Thank you so much, Riverway!Posted on Google Marissa BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riverway always does such great work. The capacitor went out on our air conditioner and they had someone out the same day and the repair took maybe 15 minutes. They’re always kind and courteous. We’ve had them out three times for various issues and we keep calling them because they take such good care of us and stand by their work.Posted on Google Michael GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My air conditioner stopped working during the hot summer. I called Riverway at 10 a.m. and scheduled an appointment for 1 p.m. that day, excellent! (all other places had a 2 day waiting list). Techs called and said they would be here sooner to fix a/c. They show up at 11:30 and had a/c repaired in 5 minutes! They were very courteous, knowledgeable, and fast. Bottom line: I called Riverway at 10 a.m. I'm sitting in the cool a/c by Noon. You cant get better service than that!

The Riverway plumbers who’ve worked for us—Kyle, Brandon and Alex—were competent, friendly and conscientious. When asked for names of local plumbers, I recommend Riverway first.Posted on Google Justin OttenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a leaky kitchen faucet and one we decided we wanted to replace with a more modern sensor faucet we had bought, so called Riverway to come out and do the job. For a reasonable price ($165), they sent someone who came and did the job in less than an hour--a job I'm not even sure I could have done on my own over a day or two, given the corrosion and need to saw some pieces off the old faucet attachments below! The fella they sent was well equipped to do the job, courteous, and fast, so we couldn't have been happier.Posted on Google LauraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

F. A. Q
Heat pumps operate differently than standard HVAC systems, which often leads to questions about their behavior and maintenance. We’ve compiled the most common inquiries from Bloomington residents to help you understand your system better.
A small amount of frost is normal, and your unit has a "defrost mode" to handle it. However, if the unit is encased in heavy ice, it may have a faulty defrost control or a refrigerant leak. If you see significant ice buildup, call for professional service immediately to avoid damaging the fan blades or compressor.
Since heat pumps run almost year-round for both heating and cooling, we recommend professional service twice a year, once in the spring before the cooling season and once in the fall before the heating season. This ensures the components aren't overworked by the constant demand.
Yes! When your heat pump enters its defrost cycle in the winter, it temporarily reverses its operation to melt ice off the outdoor coils. This can release a cloud of steam and make a slight "whooshing" sound. It is a normal part of the system's operation and nothing to worry about unless the steam is accompanied by a burning smell.
Common signs include poor heating or cooling, unusual noises, ice buildup, frequent cycling, higher energy bills, weak airflow, or inconsistent indoor temperatures. A professional inspection can determine the cause of the problem.
Yes. Many heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single system, making them an efficient alternative to separate heating and air conditioning equipment for many homes.
