Spoke to Ed on the phone about an ac issue. Response was immediate and thorough, the issue wasn't serious, but it needed attention. The repair was completed within hours, I would highly recommend Ed and his company!

I have stuck with you, I believed you in this install, I believed the warranty that you promoted. The a/c you recommended wasn't delivered from the manufacturer with all coolant? I wanna say there was a manufacturers recall on the coil that you never reached out to me about, but waited until we had a problem. Our drain pan over flow sensor that has been replaced, obviously doesn't work as water is leaking through the ceiling for no actual reason for the 2nd time in 2 months. We are now approaching ridiculous, and for no fault of your techs, they have been 100% with me that there is no reason for

After spending the night without proper AC I was super excited to be able to receive same day service! Not only was this company super fast and efficient, they were professional, efficient, and got my home cool again. A special thank you to the technician Mitchell who made sure he left us with cold AC and great service. Definitely will be using this company again for any AC needs!
