About Us

You may not be able to place why, but you know the name. Beck Cohen was founded in Charlottesville in 1955, and we’ve been providing heating and cooling services in the area ever since. Our gray barn is an iconic part of the downtown mall and we take pride in being part of Charlottesville’s historic culture.

We have a professional, knowledgeable and fully trained staff, so you can trust in the quality of our work. Keeping customers happy largely rests on the shoulders of our veteran technicians, who average 30-years of industry experience. We keep our NATE-certified team sharp with a yearly in-house training program and an apprenticeship program for newcomers. We also let them have the pride of driving our bee-you-tee-full fleet of signature pink salmon trucks. When you see one coming around the corner, be assured relief is on the way.

We carry innovative, high-end Lennox® products that will help your HVAC systems run more efficiently and more reliably than the competition. All our employees undergo weekly training regarding the products that we sell and the methods relative to the work that we do. We aim to provide high quality, reliable and affordable HVAC, electrical and plumbing solutions to our customer for both residential and commercial situations.

In addition to new installations in the HVAC, electrical and plumbing trades, we offer maintenance plans and reliable service. Maintenance customers are provided with a readily available, 24/7 line which is monitored at all times by an on-call manager and technician.

Part of the reason why we’re Charlottesville’s most trusted full-service HVAC company is because we learn from the best and we work with the best. And we’re not just talking about our industry-leading technicians, but also about the numerous certifications our company has earned in the years operating in the area. Certifications are more than just a notch on the belt loop to us – they represent the quality that we put into every call we’re on.

Hear From Our Happy Customers

We're Dedicated to Going Above and Beyond for You
    "Highly recommend!"

    Michael was unbelievably diligent in trouble shooting the issues with our HVAC system. And, as always, superior customer service from Emily and Brian in the office which allowed us to get help to our tenants as quickly as possible.

    - Former Client
    "No complaints!"

    We had an issue with our Lennox system maybe three years after install and Beck Cohen was highly responsive to my call for support. A technician arrived the next day and diligently ripped the whole unit apart to find and resolve the issue.

    - Ben S.
    "Beck Cohen is a company you can depend on."

    Our panic turned to total satisfaction, as Steve responded to our water emergency ASAP, diagnosed our problem and allowed us to enjoy the weekend.

    - Charles B.
    "Great office staff and support. A 10/10!!"

    Great service! Delightful team leader, Steve, checked other things I had not even reported. I would highly recommend Beck Cohen and have used them for more than ten years for all HVAC.

    - Jackie A.
    "The Beck Cohen team has been consistently great."

    They just finished installing two whole house generators for us. Great work and their technician has been perfect.

    - Mark B.
    "Beck Cohen was able to send someone out within an hour of my discovering the leak."

    Cameron Dillard, the technician sent to repair the leak was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. He completed the repair quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Beck Cohen and Cameron for any plumbing issues.

    - Todd S.
    "We have only the highest praise for Mike and for Beck-Cohen."

    Mike was very efficient and competent. He was familiar with our house from a previous visit, which made his work somewhat easier. He detected a problem with one of our systems, fixed it quickly.

    - William S.
    "He, and Beck Cohen, are awesome!"

    Our technician, Mike, was not rushed. He took the time to clean a spot that was difficult to reach, explain, and help me prioritize the most important extra maintenance that was needed, and maintained about 10 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!

    - Celeste W.
