The repairman spent extra time helping me understand why our central AC broke and gave me several possible solutions. Big fan of above-and-beyond service, and this hit the mark and exceeded it.

We bought HVAC and AC. First year it took 1.5 lbs of Freon. The AC is a piece of junk. 2nd year it took 6.5 lbs of Freon in April of this year. The ac went out last night. We have Protection Plan but no one can come here until Monday. Why are we paying for a plan that doesn’t work. This will be the 3rd time the ac went out. They need to replace the unit.
