Paid 89.00 for an HVAC repair quote and didn’t get one. Technician showed up, said another person would need to come out regarding replacement vs repair and wouldn’t quote for the repair. Still charged us 89.00. We explained in the phone call (which they recorded btw) our need for a quote and they assured us they…

I had suboptimal service on the first call that didn’t fix my AC issue and was upset by it. I was highly impressed by and grateful for their prompt response. They seemed genuinely upset they didn’t live up to their own quality standards and did everything they could to make it right. I’m very happy now.

I had a very positive experience with Michael & Son Services. The technician Alexia Debose that came was professional, knowledgeable and informative during the hole process. I learned some HVAC basics during process and hope all their technicians are as good. I would recommend their services.

Steer clear of these guys! I suggest reading ALL the reviews. Don't be fooled by their 4.8 star rating. They push for good reviews to make those pop up first--hiding the numerous and very recent bad, horrible and scary reviews. They replaced our AC unit in August and botched the install causing us to go through…

Yousef was awesome. Notified me ahead of his arrival, diagnosed my issues quickly, walked me through my options, and did same-day repair. Very friendly, very professional.
