I received very disappointing service from Cool Air to install a single vent into my newborn's nursery. First, they installed the duct through the middle of a finished basement which I will have to reroute to enclose in drywall. Second, they partially cut through a support beam while installing the register. Third,…

I had a great experience with Cool Air Mechanical. We are having our whole AC System Replaced. Kennie Picon was a great help in explaining the work to be done and the full lifecycle of the project. He was also very useful in understanding our options to the finest detail.

The entire team from José, Joe, Winston, and ?(forgot his name but blonde, taller, and southern). They were incredible and very informative. We had a quote, they worked with us on pricing, then installed in our weird janky closet/basement and made everything work perfectly. They were clean and fast and so easy to work with. 10/10

Worst decision I ever made was Choosing Cool Air Mechanical to install a Lennox HVAC through Costco. From the very first installation 4 years ago to today, they've visited my home 34 times, and it's still not right. I've asked for a replacement many times and have had to escalate through Costco several times. DO NOT CHOOSE this company!

This company has done several different jobs for me: New HVAC, whole house surge protector, new hot water heater with upgrades and whole house 'germicide' contraption that removes junk from the air we breathe in the house, including Covid.

We are so happy with the installation of our new HVAC system. Our home was newly built in 2013 and we were surprised to find out that the system they put in was working harder then it should’ve (3,700 sq ft). We should have had two systems but at the time it met the requirements for a 5 ton unit. After several…

Free in-home estimate. Mr. Kelley carefully explained everything about my current unit output. He checked both the outside unit and inside unit. I asked a lot of questions about replacing my 15 year unit. I was given a choice without being pressured. He was a very professional and attentive salesman.

We replaces a 2-ton unit and a ductless unit. They sent a 4 person team to do the job. They were respectful of our floors and home putting down drop cloths to ensure no damage was done. They kept me informed during the entire job. The job was completed in a timely and professional manner!

These guys are incredible. Tim went over everything with me beforehand, and took the time to answer all my questions. The system that they put in was so much more advanced than what I had. The installation team got here at about 9 AM and finished by 5 PM. This was a full start from nothing installation. Nice group…
