LEE ERICKSON

In my opinion the company did a great service for me. After I have called and talked with them they sent a technician out and he was here right on time that we agreed upon. He was professional in his duties diagnosing the problem we had with our air conditioning equipment. The parts were ordered, they called and let me know the parts were in and scheduled the time for the technician to come out, the technicians was here on the agreed time. Brandon was our technician who did the diagnosed and did the work installing our parts, he worked very professional steady, and finished in a timely manner. I feel the company should be very proud of Brandon to represent their company the way he did very professional. Their prices were reasonable. I would definitely highly recommend their company. I would definitely use them in the future. I also feel that they have great service plans I would definitely recommend those also.

Austin has now been here 2 days in a row still trying to diagnose the reason I have not had AC for almost 2 weeks in this heat. I am confused since I have had 3 companies and all 3 have different answers to that question. Austin is knowledgeable and professional. I hope is is right. More important I hope he can get me AC soon.
Now I am waiting for estimates. Hope they are within my budget

Exceptional service!
Always 5-star service for past 4 years. Brandon Boudreau was by far the most thorough technician to date. Throughout the maintenance process he was informing me of current and potential issues so I could make informed decision. In addition he provided pictures for my clarity. I highly recommend this company for all of your HVAC needs. Brandon was timely and very professional, worked to ensure system was ready for the fall/winter months. Pricing is competitive, reasonable, top quality and guaranteed.

Today Brandon Boudreau with Fl-Air Heating & Cooling did 3 and a half hours of hot sweaty work in my attic removing years of growth and just nastiness from the two air handlers in my south Tampa attic. This entailed basically disassembling both handlers, removing and cleaning both blowers, cleaning electrical and all surfaces. He further installed UV lights in both units to prevent future buildups. He worked tirelessly and quietly.

I’ve used Fl-Air Heating & Cooling for years now. They are big enough to meets our needs and keep their Techs up to date, but they are still small enough to be responsive when we need them the most. Their Techs are friendly, professional and respectful and their prices are very reasonable. I wholeheartedly recommend this company.

Response from the owner:Hi, Ca. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

D Caldwell
