I found this company recommended by one of my neighbors.They came to our house in one hour due to the heat and nasty humidity, identified the problem, repaired the issue and we are now back to normal having nice cold air conditioning.They are professional and the price is fair!

These guys are great!! Thought my air went out, going into one of the hottest weekends of the year. They showed up withing a couple of hours, checked my unit out thoroughly, then installed a new thermostat. They were polite, honest and best of all, reasonable! I took a few of their cards to give to my friends. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

I am so pleased with the work that Bendtsen & McGrew did for us in our guesthouse. I asked for some advice on a mini-split unit to replace the old "wall banger." Kelly McGrew was able to proved me with a quick, and fair, estimate and excellent info. They were able to do installation relatively quickly, even though it's a busy Time of year for them. The work was done meticulously, quickly, and the space was left cleaner than when they started their work. I highly recommend their services.
