My AC went out this week in April 2025. Got hot fast in the house, but FL-Air came out right away. Needed to order a new part and got installation scheduled with Brandt who expertly diagnosed the issue. There is a reason this company gets 5 Stars from so many. They are that good. I have used Mark Lange’s company since he started. He has built a company with people that convey his same sense of values in terms of quality work, timeliness, fairness, honesty, and integrity. In the HVAC world, that is an amazing thing. I would not use anyone else, and I have tried many others before I found Mark and team. They are the best both in the field and in the office - taking care of customers the same way they would want for themselves!

Response from the owner:Hi, M. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Jack Jack

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Being out of the country during a major AC issue could have been a nightmare, but thanks to the incredible team here, it was anything but. From the very first call, Coral at reception was professional, kind, and incredibly helpful—she made sure everything was clearly communicated and coordinated.

Brandon, our initial technician, was thorough, knowledgeable, and transparent, walking me through the diagnosis step by step and putting my mind at ease despite the distance. Then came Nate, our installer, who truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. Thank you once again. Jacklyne

Highly recommend FL-Air! I called for routine check up and maintenance since I've used them and had great service before. We ended up doing a project to fix the inequitable air flow in the front and back of the house. Austin Molter was our tech and he was fantastic, explained everything well and gave options for fixes. He was also so kind to our very excitable lab! They are my go to for all HVAC needs.

All techs from FL-Air have been great but Austin takes the cake. He was so knowledgeable, funny and polite. He took his time explaining our AC issue and telling us about our options and his recommendations. I think the job was bigger than he expected but he stuck it out til it was done, cleaned up and took great care of us.

Response from the owner:Hi, A. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Melanie Aya-ay

Brandt was very well trained and thorough in identifying problem and quickly fixing it. Cost was justified given time, cost of supplies and expertise. Steven was extremely pleasant and upfront when making call as to what the issue might be and was 100% correct. Would highly recommend and definitely deserve 5-stars.

We recently used FL-Air Heating & Cooling for both service call and complete systems replacement. Each experience exceeded our expectation. Everyone involved from tech, to installer, to office personnel was professional, experienced and courteous. We felt they always had our best interest in mind especially in their recommendations and follow up. They were punctual, and accommodating especially in communications. We just had our first maintenance service check and the technician, Bobby Stubbs was awesome, very thorough, knowledgeable and professional! We highly recommend FL-Air Heating & Cooling for all HVAC needs.

Mocha

We Just Got Our New A/C Unit Installed! We Did So Much Research, and Met Many Companies. We Finally Decided On FL Air Heating & Cooling. From the start with them, this process has been very organized, helpful, and we have had great communication.

Happy that we could have a cool house and be ready for the hot weather coming real soon. We appreciate everyone who assisted us through this process.

Buying an A/C is not fun, but much needed here. In addition, there’s so many companies, it’s hard to know where to start and which way to go. So happy with our experience with them, & will continue to use their services to maintain our A/C! Thank you very much to all of you for all of your hard work and communicating fully with us every step of the way.

Response from the owner:Hi, Mocha. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Shara Veda

We got multiple quotes from companies for our new HVAC system last year. FL-Air Heating and Cooling not only gave us the best quote, but was very transparent concerning which system would be the best for our home. They were extremely efficient in installation, and servicing. I had a servicing scheduled for this morning, and I had to change my appointment time slightly due to an emergency, and they accommodated me right away. Everyone there is professional, communicative, courteous and honest. I am so glad we went with this company!

UPDATE: My Unit "froze up" on July 4th. Left message and they called me back at 8 am the next morning. A tech arrived before 8:30.
