Top 7 HVAC companies in Morris, New Jersey
Public data produces this ordered shortlist for Morris County homeowners weighing a full system replacement.

The seven companies below are ordered by Bayesian-adjusted star rating drawn from public listings. Review volume, category and availability supply the tie-breakers. Installed costs run from $10,600 to $28,932 depending on source; state HVACR licensure and local permits both apply.
Cost of HVAC installation in Morris County
Installed-cost data for Morris County come from two separate sources. One modeling exercise places a typical full system at $11,800 inside a $10,600-$13,000 band. Invoiced 2025 figures show an average of $19,579 and an upper-quartile price of $28,932. Labor is stated at $150 per hour. Permit fees range from $175 to $600. Both sources are therefore reported because the gap between modeled and actual billed amounts is itself information for buyers.
The shortlist
This shortlist is built from public listing data, not a review of work performed. Companies are ranked by a Bayesian-adjusted rating that pulls each star rating toward the national mean of 4.764 until the firm has enough reviews to stand on its own.
Master Group HVAC
Master Group HVAC operates from 22 Hillery St, Woodland Park, NJ 07424 and lists the phone number (973) 363-9732. Its 104 reviews produce a raw rating of 4.9 that the adjustment lowers only to 4.87, a modest pull because the volume already exceeds the national mean. The firm appears as a general contractor without published 24/7 hours, so the listing signals broad construction work rather than HVAC-only specialization. These numbers cannot reveal whether the firm carries the required state HVACR license or local insurance certificates.
Ideal Air Inc.
Ideal Air Inc. is located at 21 Reinmann Dr, East Hanover, NJ 07936 and can be reached at (973) 714-2436. With 67 reviews the raw 4.8 rating receives only a tiny downward adjustment to 4.789. The category is listed as general contractor and no 24/7 availability is shown. The numbers leave open the question of how many of those reviews actually concern heating or cooling work versus other services.
Solstice Advanced Materials
Solstice Advanced Materials lists the address 115 Tabor Road 2nd Floor, Suite A, B, D, Morris Plains, NJ 07950. No phone number appears in the public record. Its 82 reviews yield a raw 4.6 that moves only slightly to 4.644 after adjustment. The corporate-office category and absence of 24/7 status suggest the firm may not perform field installation, limiting what the rating can say about service response.
General Plumbing Supply
General Plumbing Supply sits at 663 Speedwell Ave, Morris Plains, NJ 07950 and lists the phone number (973) 993-9700. The 123 reviews at a raw 4.6 produce an adjusted score of 4.632. The manufacturer category indicates the listing may reflect product sales more than installation crews. The numbers therefore cannot confirm how many of the reviews involve completed HVAC jobs.
Atlantic Mechanical Contractors of North Jersey
Atlantic Mechanical Contractors of North Jersey is at 251 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011 and answers at (973) 453-5698. Its 81 reviews at a raw 4.5 adjust upward to 4.571 because the count is still modest relative to the national mean. The general-contractor listing plus published 24/7 availability supplies the tie-breaker that places it fifth. The figures give no information on whether the firm holds the separate Home Improvement Contractor registration required in New Jersey.
Ideal Refrigeration Service
Ideal Refrigeration Service operates from 642 Speedwell Ave, Morris Plains, NJ 07950 and lists the phone number (973) 539-0289. With only 24 reviews the raw 4.3 rating receives a noticeable upward adjustment to 4.558. The general-contractor category and lack of 24/7 hours indicate limited published availability. The small sample size means the rating remains sensitive to any future reviews.
Kelly Plumbing & Heating LLC
Kelly Plumbing & Heating LLC is located at 187 Washington St, Morristown, NJ 07960 and can be reached at (973) 539-2300. Its 28 reviews at a raw 4.3 adjust upward to 4.54. The plumber category suggests HVAC work may be secondary to other services. The modest review count leaves open how representative the score is of recent furnace or air-conditioner installations.
Licensing and permits in Morris County
New Jersey maintains a statewide HVACR contractor license administered by the New Jersey State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors under the Division of Consumer Affairs. The board issues a Master HVACR Contractor license and a limited-scope version. Minimum insurance is $500,000 general liability from a New Jersey-licensed carrier plus workers' compensation. The license lookup is available at https://newjersey.mylicense.com/verification. Although licensure is uniform across the state since 2014, mechanical permits for furnace or air-conditioner replacements are issued by each municipal construction office. Home Improvement Contractor registration with the same Division of Consumer Affairs is also required for residential work.
Climate considerations for Morris County
Morris County falls in IECC zone 4A with a moist regime. Heating degree days reach 4800 while cooling degree days total 1200, producing a heating-leaning mixed load. Newark design temperatures are 13 °F in winter and 92 °F in summer with humid conditions. Natural gas remains the dominant heating fuel, yet heat-pump suitability is rated very good. Central air saturation is already high. The balanced load profile requires equipment sized for both seasons rather than oversized cooling capacity that would short-cycle in milder shoulder months.
Available incentives in 2026
State programs include the conditionally approved M-RISE / Community Partners HEAR administered by NJBPU, with planned heat-pump rebates up to $8,000 that can stack with NJCEP offerings. Utility rebates through PSE&G, JCP&L and others range from $1,000 to $4,000. Participation requires a contractor enrolled in the NJCEP network. Federal 25C and 25D credits expired at the end of 2025, leaving no residential HVAC tax credit for 2026. Only the commercial 48E ITC survives under strict timing rules. Homeowners must therefore confirm the installer holds both the HVACR license and the required Home Improvement Contractor registration before any rebate paperwork can proceed.
How to choose an HVAC contractor
Verify the Master HVACR license and Home Improvement Contractor registration through the state lookup, confirm the firm files local mechanical permits, and compare the Bayesian-adjusted rating against raw score and review volume. Request references from recent installations performed under current incentive rules.
