What customers said about a/c system repair
Overpriced and a complete rip off. $400 for an 15 minute job to unclog a drain line. Actively find ways to run up the cost with things you don’t need. Only warranty their work for 30 days so when their poor work becomes evident they can come back and slap you with another $400 bill.
The problems were identified quickly and the repairs were made in a timely manner. Prices were reasonable for the work performed. Very professional and knowledgeable employees.
Our service man is absolutely fantastic. He explained everything and was very friendly and professional. Thank you for sending him. He’s the same person that first came to our house and loved our cats😁. Highly recommend him and the work that you’re doing.
Very prompt! Extremely tidy when installing the new toilet. Fair prices and professional.
Ricardo from Any Hour Services is awesome! Our air conditioner was running all afternoon without cooling our house. I suspected the compressor wasn’t turning on, but 88 degrees in the house with two kids under two meant I didn’t have the time to diagnose and figure out the problem myself. Ricardo came by quickly,…
Super knowledgable, answered all questions, kept me very informed, very friendly, efficient and thorough. Pleasure to meet Scott...Dial On Johnson seem to only have excellent technicians, front office and management employees....Thanks
