What customers said about install ac
Erice did a great job with the seasonal maintenance on my HVAC system this fall. He cleaned and tested the whole system and prepped the furnace for the cooler months. We're ready for the winter cold!
Exceptional service. There are very few HVAC companies that are professional, courteous, kind, and considerate throughout the entire process. They don't play games, they understand your urgency, and they deliver the best service. They also immediately took care of minor accidental damage that occurred and refunded…
Ruben, Carlos, and Que were very quick and efficient in installing my new AC and Furnace! Ruben did a great job at explaining everything to me after the install! Also Leverne was great at getting us the estimate very quickly and getting it installed next day!
Blake and his team came out today to do some major work for us, installing two new condensers, two new evaporator coils and one new Infinity thermostat. It was a big job but they were up to the task. The job was done efficiently and very well. At the end of their long day they made sure to put everything back in…
The team did excellent work and kept me notified during the process. Really well done Wally and Mike crushed it today. .
Bartlett Heating & Cooling has been servicing my home for nearly 10yrs. They have always been reliable, professional, and fairly priced.
