Ed was on time. He was very personable and went right work. The job was done no time at all. I use Dorsey for all my plumbing and HVAC needs. The work has always been done correctly, with never a recall. They have very highly skilled technicians.

My 7 year old LG mini-split system started throwing error codes in the peak of summer and I called on Dorsey for help.

I reached out to Dorsey & Sons regarding issues with my split system that they originally installed back in 2019. Ed was our technician and we can’t thank him enough for the professional, courteous manner in which he handled our substantial repair job. He was on time, efficient, and informative. We appreciate it.

I have been working with Dorsey for over 15 years now. I had Eddie and Shaun at quite a few of my locations, very knowledgeable, funny, great personality, just all around great guys, but work hard and get the job done. And that also goes for the rest of the technicians they have working, just a good company to work with.

This is another service that once again meets and exceeds expectation. Always polite and responsive which are important to me. @Ed Almeida very professional and courteous. Attention to detail and points out the little things to avoid headaches further down the line. I highly recommend their services as a residential customer.

These guys were so nice, knowledgeable, and fixed my problem promptly. I felt that their visit fee & service was fair. They even wore paper booties over their shoes which I appreciated. Lol. I definitely will contact them in the future if I have any problems again.
