Called and spoke to the answering service. Received a callback in less than 5 minutes and a technician was dispatched. The technician showed us and explained to us the malfunction with our unit and what was done to repair it. All at a super reasonable cost. Less than two hours from phone call to repair. The tech was super nice, polite and professional as well. We all share experiences in the neighborhood and I will be highly recommending Gold Star.

I am so pleased with the whole process of Gold Star Services. Pete was great from the start. Bob and the crew kept the house clean and was polite with everything. Shane on a Sunday answered our question and still provided a service technician free of charge to look at our newly installed HVAC for my wife’s peace of mind. I am happy with our new product. It has cut the electric bill and we’ve had excellent temperature control cooling. Well done! Keep up the great work, and support the honest local business!! Thanks a million!

Where to start. Called Gold star Wednesday June 25th 2018. They sent an excellent sales person named Alex. This gentlemen was to the point and answered all of my questions. Alex was very knowledgeable about the HVAC unit I wanted to install in my house. We also talked about a HEPA -UVC-PCO Air Cleaner. Alex recommended that we install this air cleaner due to my wife’s allergies. Alex also worked with us, by calling his boss about an install date we wanted and eventually gave us a discount if we could do it during the week instead of the weekend. Alex also talked to us about upgrading our 80% efficiency heater to an 92% efficiency heater. Alex also showed me his HEPA Air Cleaner system at his house. Alex was a pleasure to talk to and would recommend anyone to have his business.
Now to the installers. Arrived at 7:30am and immediately started getting to work. 4 knowledgeable installers arrived and had my old unit removed in less than an hour. They all worked hard and finished completing this job in 6.5 hours. They all did an amazing job. The work they performed was on point. All persons involved did an amazing job, as well as the owner Shane for his part he contributed.
I would personally recommend this company.
You couldn’t beat the price as well!
Thanks for everything, Ryan!

I could not be more pleased with how the replacement of my HVAC system AND water heater went. Tony was friendly and responsive during the selection/scheduling process and the installers were fast. courteous and answered all my questions thoroughly. Everything working great, very happy with the price and Gold Star’s help through Delaware Energy rebate program. Highly recommend them.
– Matt L., June 2018
I had an issue with my ac not working and they had a technician out within an hour. He figured out the problem and serviced it in a couple hours. Also explained to me what was going on throughout the process. Satisfied customer and will pass the word.
– Adam B., May 2018
Called them on Saturday and they had someone out first thing Sunday morning. Very professional, polite and honest. I will continue to do business with them.
– Stephanie E., April 2018
Gold Star Services is an excellent company to work with. Their staff is prompt, efficient, honest and very hard working. I had my entire HVAC system replaced and the employees had my entire new heat pump system in within 4.5 hours. The system was $6,970 which was a very reasonable price and is working great! I love it, and will continue to use their services, and I recommend them highly. They are experts in the field ! 🙂 Very competent and A+ in my mind ! 🙂 A pleasure to work with!
– C. Louise R., April 2018
If I could give this company 10 stars I would there put a heater in for my 93 year old mother they were very polite and professional and very honest and gave my mom a great deal with out ripping her off the guys took there time to talk to my mom and explained how the new heater works after they were done they cleaned up their mess completely. Highly recommend this company to anyone.
– Louie G., March 2018
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and your team for doing such a great job. You were the only company that responded to me on the coldest Sunday of the year and helped me through our HVAC problem. Getting us two portable heaters to keep our condo from freezing was a great help and not something that you had to do. Your install team also did a great job a few days later replacing our entire heat pump and air conditioning system. The guys were professional, quick and did a few above and beyond things to make the installation correct. Great job, I would highly recommend your company and services.
– M.T., DE – 02/09/2018
Called Gold Star when the Contractor my Sears Warranty sent couldn’t figure out why my furnace wouldn’t stay lit. After the other contractor had me call DelMarVa to look if I had enough gas pressure (I did plus all other appliances were working). After that I lost confidence and looked into Gold Star and saw the positive reviews, so I gave them a call. Wade came out the same day (weekend). He had the tools to determine that I did have good gas pressure and isolated the issue to a faulty pressure switch that verifies the inducer motor is operating. Wade was knowledgeable and explained everything. He ordered the switch and came back and installed it. Heat works fine now. I would definitely endorse using Gold Star Services for your HVAC issues!

Aaron Dudkewitz tuned up our heater, great job, pleased with his work.
– Junius J., December 2017
Came in, did the thing, and was cool. 5 Stars
– Adam W., December 2017
Gold Star has installed multiple systems for me in 2017. Both at a rental house in Newark as well as my primary residence in Newark. Their service and communication are top notch. Both crews we met were very efficient. We really liked Tony the estimator who was customer service oriented. Don’t hesitate to call them if you have a property in New Castle County.
– Maurice R., November 2017
We had part of the air conditioning system replaced over the summer by Goldstar. It was a fantastic job. The woman on the phone was a pleasure to speak with. the service technician was helpful and courteous. During the installation the crewman wore boot covers and used drop clothes and were very respectful of my home. 5 GOLD STARS!
– Michelle N., November 2017
Gold Star Services did a great job replacing out our old HVAC system. Great price compared to other quotes we received and the service exceeded our expectations. All around A+ experience!
– Joey A., November 2017
Just want to say how pleased we are with the installation & follow up service for our new Rheem HVAC system. Goldstar did an excellent job with everything & the technicians were patient and knowledgeable. The price (with the expected rebate) could not be be beat by other local HVAC companies. A special thanks and high-five to Tony Frazier for his expertise & responsiveness and to Allan Koch for his knowledge, thoroughness & patience for our endless questions! We will recommend Goldstar to everyone we know & will request Allan specifically for our future maintenance needs on the unit. Thanks again!!!
– K.M. and M.H., DE – 10/20/2017
Just wanted to take the time to express our happiness with the service you and the Gold Star Company provided us just this pass month. We are pleased to say from the first initial call to the end of the install we were made to feel like the one and only customer that your company has.
We have done business with may different companies but by FAR Gold Star has provided such a service that exceeded our expectations. Never did we feel pressed to purchase or have your company provide us anything more the what we ask for. The quote and your speed of service were exceptional.
We will spread your Company name everywhere and to all we hear needs your services. Again thanks so much for excellent service. Oh yes very pleased with the unit we purchased and the quality and pricing all within reason. Wonderful Job.
Wanted to put this in your views but couldn’t find the link to provide this out for all to see. Please feel free to post to your web site for all to see.
– Burke Family, DE – 11/23/2016
Just fantastic experience. Found Gold Star on Angie’s List after looking for local, family-owned business. I guess without the overhead of Horizon, they can offer quality unit and installation and warranty for half the price– half, you read that right people. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and knowledgeable. I am very happy with my experience. Recommended them to a neighbor who also is over the moon for Gold Star AC. And it turns out my realtor also recommends them over the big names. Call Gold Star!
– C.F., DE – 04/18/2016
I highly recommend Gold Star. We knew we needed a new heater and started the process. O had seen the advertisements for Gold Star and their $6790 package. I was skeptical knowing you get what you pay for but I saw the positive reviews and I like that they are a local small business. After our first quote being outrageous, I called them for an estimate. To compare, our current service provider quoted $16K, brought them down to $14,890 with multiple coupons, multiple texts to the manager, upfront signature, and agreeing to a day where they needed work for their crew. They did not reuse any of our existing upgrades. I was expecting a cost of $10-12K, possibly $13, but not $16!!!! For that price, we would have gone for geothermal!
Enter Gold Star:
The experience was exceptional. Tony examined the system and toured the house. He immediately noticed all the thing I felt were done incorrectly with the previous install and told me how they would be addressed. I mentioned my concerns and he addressed each one informing me of the different options available.
There was no “big book” presentation for an hour. No up selling, no bad mouthing of other companies, and no scare tactics. There was no mention of install dates until I brought them up. He informed me that there was no need to purchase my upgrades because what we had could be removed from the old system and installed in the new one. Others did not share that offer.
When it was time for the quote, he wrote it out on the contract form but did not ask for a signature. He said he would return if we decided to go with Gold Star. I was shocked at the low quote! I asked many questions about the employees (not subcontractors) who would be doing the install and why they were coming in so low. I felt he was transparent and I appreciated his business model.
I completed my research after he left and quickly made my decision to have Tony come back.
The crew was out the next morning on time. They were professional and knowledgable. They were happy to show me how things worked and watch them put it together. You could see they enjoyed what they are doing.
Thank you for the wonderful service, both the sales and the install.
– Amanda S., DE – 01/05/2016
My AC unit failed in late July. I called Gold Star and 3 other HVAC contractors to get quotes on a new system. Every one of the others quoted a price that was close to 2 times that of Gold Star. Of course I was somewhat skeptical since the lowest price vendor usually has the lowest quality. So I did some due diligence to feel more comfortable about selecting them.
1. I spoke to Jeff and he explained their business model and how they are a growing business and service base through reasonably priced installations.
2. They have great ratings form Angie’s list and the BBB. I couldn’t find any sub-par partings on their installations and I looked diligently.
After this review, and now having my system in place for 5 days, I’m thrilled to have selected Gold Star.
Their technicians were polite and professional. They showed up on time, did their work diligently, and explained the system to me.
– Greg G., DE – 08/13/2015
Came out very quickly and determined what my problem was. All of the reviews were correct… which was the reason I called them. Excellent customer service. Went well. On time. Courteous. Price reasonable. Will definitely use again. I have a new hot water heater in my future.
– Donna U., DE – 06/06/2015
Our heater broke at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. The part was unavailable to ALL contractors I called until Monday. Our system was 17.5 years old, so Saturday at 9 am I began calling contractors to get estimates. At 9:10, 10 minutes later I received a call from Shane, the owner of Gold Star to discuss my situation. By 11 am, I had Gold Star’s rep at more door measuring and confirming my house and system were indeed within their $6790 flat rate program. He left paperwork and said call him once I knew what I wanted to do. Next closest call back was an hour and some not till Monday. I had a LARGE HVAC company come out Sunday 9 am to give me cost. Cost was double of Gold Star’s and when I told them my other 2 comparisons, they dropped their rate by $6,000.00. Horrible way to do business. I chose Gold Star Sunday after telling the other company to go ice skating and 7:30 am Monday morning, Gold Star installed my new heating and air conditioning system. The guys were clean, professional and done in one day. Overall great experience.
– Joe D., PA – 01/10/2015
Woke up this morning to a very cold house and realized there was something wrong with my heating system. Checked my thermostat and saw it was set at 72 but the house temp was under 60. I did some research online for local HVAC companies and saw Gold Star and their high grade on the BBB website. After looking at their website I decided to call them and request service. Called around 11:00 Saturday morning and was told they would schedule a technician. To my surprise, 15 minutes later I was contacted by Shane, the owner, and told he would be here once he finished his current service call. Indeed, within 45 minutes Sean was at my door. He was able to quickly determine the cause of my problem, quoted me a price and made the repair. Within 30 minutes he was on his way to his next call. Very professional, honest, and thorough. Would recommend Gold Star without hesitation.
– Joe. S, DE – 01/17/2015
I was out of heat over the weekend and called Gold Star, first thing in the morning Shane called me as he promised he got the part and sent one of his crew,Chris, solve the problem. Please keep up the good work. Thanks.Gy

“I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the timeliness and dedication that your Team has put forth for this project. I called my Dad last night to check in and one of the things he told me was that he was really impressed with how hard the three technicians on the job were working. Thank-you and please convey my thanks to the Team for their dedication to this project. I know it is/was a big project and it was amazing to me that your Team could schedule it within one working day of the contract agreement and accomplish the project in less than 7 working days.
You have a great Team. Thank-you!”
– Walt B., MD – 12/12/2014
“The Gold Star crew of Joe,Bob and Trevor did a good job installing the A/C and furnace.We are pleased with the system and look forward to a cozy warm home this winter and many more seasons to come.”
– Gerhard K., DE – 11/20/2014
“Thank goodness for Gold Star Services. After having a few “HVAC guys” in our house, sent from a warranty company, Shane and his crew were like a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed having them in our home! They were nice, professional and CLEAN! Drop cloths and shoe booties and all! We are extremely impressed. Thank You!!”
– Janine S., DE – 09/16/2014
“I could not be happier with the service Gold Star has provided me, especially for the price. I feel I got better service than I would have from other local contractors that wanted almost two times what I paid. They are always on time and quick to respond. I cannot say enough good things about them…highly recommend.”
– Anthony L. – 09/03/2014
“After interviewing 3 top service companies in the area, I gave Gold Star Services a call after seeing their ad. The salesperson was prompt and answered all of my questions. The price he gave me and the service agreement was better than any of the others. The installation of my heat pump system was scheduled and the technicians arrived on time. They did a quality job and were very clean especially on a rainy day. When they were done the technician went over the entire system with me. The cost of the installation was exactly what I was quoted even though they did some minor modifications. No hidden charges and an excellent system was installed.”
– Scott K., DE – 04/29/2014
“Recently started using Gold Star for maintenance of our heating and air conditioning systems – found them to be extremely reliable and efficient. Today we had a toilet and kitchen faucet installed and found their technician, Sean, to be very skilled and knowledgeable – went above and beyond to complete the job in a timely and professional manner. Would highly recommend Gold Star!”
– MK, DE – 10/16/2013
“My central Air conditioner went out on me yesterday and my home temperature reached up to 88 degrees. I have a friend that recommended to call Shane at Gold Star services to see if he could help me out on short notice and on the weekend. I Called Shane and he told me that he would have a tech come out to my house by 12PM today and I was amazed the tech was in my drive way at 12pm on the dot. The estimate price was the best in the state and not to mention Jason the tech was able to repair the AC unit in less then an hour and he was extremely knowledgeable and did not give me the run around and was very honest. With the problem that I had with the AC unit I knew there would be no guarantee and he did not beat around the bush about it and gave me an honest answer when I asked him how long the fix could last. Then he was very helpful when I asked about getting the unit replaced next year and has me absolutely sold on a new unit for next year. I would absolutely recommend these guys over any of the big and small local companies. If you want good service, honest technicians and a great price give these guys a call they are the best. Thank you for helping me out in my time of dire need.”
Your new loyal customer,

“Outstanding salesmanship, service, installation, and a great overall value for my family. Our residential HVAC system was nearly 14 years old and needed a major repair to our air conditioning unit in July. Several firms offered to \”do the job\” for their price. Goldstar was first class all the way from beginning to end. One price, just like advertised, no upgrades, upsells or trick & traps to be found. If you are considering Goldstar, please know they have my highest recommendation. I called them at 6pm, met Shane at 7pm and I had a brand new HVAC System installed the following day by 3pm. In July with 3 young children (and allergies) we needed this repair quick and at an affordable price. Shane is our guy, you should make him yours as well. He is kind of like the service guy my Dad hired 40 years ago to do a job on a handshake. He said what he would do and then he actually did what he said! Thank you Shane and Goldstar!”
