Joe came out and measured for insulation. He was great and was able to quote me a better deal. Can’t say enough good things about this company and staff.

I have used Fontana Brothers over the past several years. They respond when they say they will be there. The technician always calls first. Always within the stayed time frame . The tech immediately saw what the problem was and proceeded to get my a/c unit cooling. He also explained the proper filter to use for…

Punctual, professional, efficient, great communication, kind team. This is the reason I keep coming back for all my a/c needs. They did quite a bit of work on my home cooling needs. New duct lines, & insulated the entire attic, as I found my home had no roof insulation after purchasing it a few months ago. I trust…

Five stars for Marcelino and Josh who are the hardest working AC duct guys!! Fontana Brothers was highly recommended by a friend for improving the airflow in our house. We have one AC unit for a two-story 2500 square-foot home and the upstairs is always 5° hotter. We had three reputable AC companies come out for a…

Steven J. Did a great job of explaining the issues with my a/c and giving me several options to choose from. I like that they document readings thoroughly so they can show them while explaining. The little extra touches like cleaning up before he left was also great. Find this company through Reddit and an impressed.

Tyler was great! He was friendly but very professional. He explained what he was going to do, and after, what he had done. He got my AC working quickly and had photos to show what he had done.

Wonderful experience with Fontana Brothers! Both our initial eval and estimate with Scott, and our full cleaning/sanitization and UV light install with Stephen, were extremely thorough. They have very fair prices and are not pushy with upsells/extra. An honest, reputable company!

I was a loyal Fontana Brothers customer for over 5 years. I used them repeatedly for service calls, purchased two new AC systems for my home, referred my parents for another system, and have spent well over $40,000 with the company. When my AC recently stopped cooling again, only months after a prior service visit,…
