AC Repair

Great quality of work

Ryan analyzed the issue and knew what to do to repair it. He completed the job in a very reasonable amount of time. Great quality of work. My A/C is working great now.

Growing quickly in large part because of the referrals he receives from his highly satisfied customers

I am so happy to have connected with Mark Lang and his company, FL-AIR HEATING AND COOLING. This young family-man spent seven years in the HVAC business and saw the worst practices of the industry. He started his company a year ago, and is growing quickly in large part because of the referrals he receives from his highly satisfied customers.

I could not recommend Mark and his team more highly

So happy I was referred to this company!

Amazing! A/C broke in the middle of the night, booked online for an 8:00am appt the next day. Not only did I get a response right away, but Mark was on time, friendly and professional. He found the issue, ordered the part and came back to finish the repair in the same day! So happy I was referred to this company!

I recently had my A/C stop working. Brandon B. quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired my blower motor to bring my A/C back to blowing cold.

I was so engrossed with his that I forgot my appointment. When I realized that I was going to be late I panicked and rushed home. When I got near my house I realized that the service worker was waiting for me. I got very emotional because he was very kind to me and he didn’t know anything about my husband’s new change of life.

Excellent from start to finish. Within 3 hours of flling out a request online, Brandon came to give us a second opinion on a quote for full system replacement. He confirmed we needed a new system, and proposed 4 options. We chose the best option, which directly compared with the original company quote was $9,000 cheaper! Installation was in two business days. The crew did an excellent job of removal and replacement, with exceptional cleanliness and no damage to our home. Nate came to install the Wi-FI thermostat and the system is running great. Top notch experience from start to finish.

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