What reviewers praise
Technician Alex delivered quoted price on next-day return visit after parts ordered; no bait-and-switch

Red flag
1 reviewer had 2 canceled appointments before service (waived fee as remedy); 1 reviewer had confirmed HVAC install appointment — no-show, no contact
“Literally all they had to do was show up and I was ready to get them to install a new system. Got an appt, stayed home from work. No one showed up and no one contacted me to tell me they won't show up.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“AC went out. Technician came and recommended they do a complete new hvac cause mine was old and running r22 (discontinued). Literally all they had to do was show up and I was ready to get them to install a new system. Got an appt, stayed home from work. No one showed up and no one contacted me to tell me they won’t show up. Not that it matters but they lost my business.”
Positive
“I had an exceptional experience in every way with this company. From the initial phone call and booking which was very polite and professional. The tech that came out, Alex, was knowledgeable and kind and explained the problem which required parts ordered. He came back as promised the following day and completed the job on time and at the price quoted. I will be sure to call again when I am in need of plumbing …”
“Louis was absolutely wonderful! He identified the issues, presented a clear and efficient solution, brought in an amazing restoration professional who acted immediately and repaired/replaced as required and could not have possibly been nicer nor explained everything more clearly. He was amazing and I would not hesitate to refer or recommend him all day long. Thank you Louis!”
