They were responsive and easy to schedule an appointment with. The technician arrived early ( I received a call that he was on his way) and was so helpful, explained everything I needed to know and answered my questions. Had bad experiences with other companies, so appreciated the ease of working with Air ideal. Highly recommend.

These guys showed up in short notice and got my HVAC back and running. Although - What typically costs me 2-300 cost me over $700. They charge a trip fee on top of already charging you for the travel ( which felt like a bit of a slap in the face )

Can I go back in time and trade in all my degrees to make more as an HVAC tech in nyc please?! Seems like a much better paying job.

I've known the owners of Air Ideal for years, and am constantly impressed by both their commitment to service--I've seen them on the phone at 10PM Saturday nite getting a job done--and their very high knowledge of the technical details of both commercial and residential air conditioning and heating. They gave us great advice on our heat pump.

They are very nice and helpful until you pay them almost $1500 for a service contract. Then you have to chase them down to get then to your house and then they point out all of the things that are not included in your service contract. Buyer beware.

These guys were fantastic. They did a project on my parents' house and came on time, were really friendly and professional, did a knock-out job, and left everything really clean after. Highly recommend!
