First of all, happy was able to come out sooner than 3 weeks that the other guys started. Yes they were late for their appointment but did show up. Price was very reasonable, considering its the holidays, it could have been much worse. Would definitely recommend!

I called Dean Howard heating and air after my AC stopped working in the middle of this major heat wave. They sent someone out quickly to take a look. The issue was really minor and was a quick, easy, inexpensive fix. These guys really know their stuff and are extremely honest.
