Claim This BusinessBud Matthews Services has been serving Chapel Hill area homeowners since 1964, building a reputation across 60+ years as a comprehensive home systems contractor. The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintains 688 verified customer reviews with an exceptional 4.8-star average rating. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week except Sunday, their team responds to emergency calls throughout Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, and the surrounding Orange County communities. This longevity reflects consistent investment in technician training and customer satisfaction.
What distinguishes Bud Matthews from general HVAC contractors is their multi-trade expertise and attention to detail that goes beyond the immediate repair. Their technicians routinely perform thorough safety checks, including flame-height verification on gas appliances and leak testing on newly installed equipment, as demonstrated in a recent LP gas stove conversion. The company handles both routine maintenance and complex installations across heating, cooling, plumbing, and appliance systems, allowing homeowners to rely on one trusted provider for multiple household needs.
Customer reviews consistently highlight specific technicians who delivered exceptional service during challenging situations. During a severe snowstorm, Jon and his crew responded to heating emergencies despite hazardous conditions, earning praise as "life savers" from Maria Ferris. Technician Brandon Fitch was specifically noted for his professionalism and respectful communication during a first-time service call. Perhaps most significantly, when another repair service failed to fix a refrigerator ice maker issue, technician Paul made a second trip that required removing and replacing the refrigerator door, then waived the additional charges entirely.
688 reviews yield a 4.8-star average rating, with customers specifically naming technicians like Jon, Brandon Fitch, Paul, and Rosa for emergency responsiveness, thorough safety checks, and unexpectedly waiving charges for follow-up service calls.
