Always very professional and they take the time to make sure that I understand how the A/C system is working and I understand anything that needs to be done to the air handler or condenser. Rick, Gabrielle, Mike, and James have all been great, and I definitely recommend them. I'm updating this review in 2026. I've…

The Comfort Authority has always sent honest technicians. Glenn and Alyssa were professional and friendly. They both explained the process and physically showed us what was going on with our air conditioning units. They offer products, but aren’t pushy, just informative.

Alyssa did a great job with helping to figure out why and how we had a leak from our new AC system drain line.

Luis has come to inspect a few AC situations for me. He is very thorough and professional. I really like working with him and am thankful for his additional recommendations. Also, The Comfort Plan is well worth its investment.

I cannot, in good conscience continue to work with this company. Having been a customer since 2016 (with two installations of units with them), I will be trying a different company in the future. Why? 1. During a regular maintenance, I was told that my capacitor was going bad. The story I heard was that it was…

Nothing but good things to say about The Comfort Authority. They are always punctual, professional and thorough. Luis did a great job and was so tidy the house is probably cleaner now than before he arrived. Highly recommend.

The original installation was great and the first service call was fast and excellent. Susie knew her stuff and got right to the heart of the issue. She showed me what she had to do to get my unit running properly and sold me on a preventative maintenance plan that would have caught this issue earlier. Wonderful…

From the beginning, the main office was crystal clear in their communication, explained exactly what would be accomplished and by whom, and what to expect the day of the appointment.
