I would not recommend this company. Below I have written a very detailed description of what happened as well as a brief summary.
Brief Summary: I diagnosed the problem with my AC myself, but opted to have the problem fixed today rather than waiting 3+ days for shipping. I needed (1) 55+5 start capacitor which can be found and ordered online (Linked below). The AC Tech showed up and replaced the part and wrote me a bill for $465 and pressured my S.O. into immediate payment. I was charged a $95 service fee and for a 55+5 capacitor ($30). Nothing more was done or listed on the receipt.
Parent had the EXACT same problem and another company did the same work for $150 the prior week.
Expected total: $140- $200
Actual total: $465.00
Detailed Summary: Unfortunately, my AC stopped working the first really hot day of the year. After diagnosing the problem myself I realized it was a start capacitor, which is a cheap part and I would rather pay a little bit in labor to have it fixed sooner rather than later. So, I checked around and read a few reviews for different companies, and this one had the highest rating on google in my area (4.3 stars and 28 reviews). So I choose them.
The next morning, I called and spoke to Jason (owner/supervisor). I explained to him exactly what was wrong and what was needed to fix it.
At approximately 3:20 the Service Tech (George) arrived at my home. Upon arrival I also explained to George what I described above. George and the other Service Tech then proceeded to fix the problem without ever entering my home. While I wasn't home at the time, he told my partner the bill would be $465. She asked if he could leave a bill that could be paid later, since I was going to pay it. George avoided the question and told her she could pay with card or check. Feeling pressured to make an immediate payment, she wrote a check. She then had to request a receipt (which was not properly filled out) and had to check herself that the repair had indeed fixed the A/C, rather than the Techs doing so. They were gone by 3:45.
Shortly after my partner called me and told me what the price was, and that she felt pressured to pay at that time. She sent me the picture of the receipt which has all fields blank other than the service call and a note that states "55+5 cap". No prices, no item description, no signatures, no account of anything other than the $95.00 service fee.
I then proceeded to call Jason to discuss how $465.00 could possibly be justified. I stated that I was fine with the $95.00 service fee, but I looked up the part before hand I know it is roughly a $30 part. That left over $300 unaccounted for and unexplained. Jason then rambled on about things from service tech salary to gasoline. I stated that all of those things are the purpose of a service fee which I am totally fine paying. Our phone call ended when Jason abruptly hung up on me.
He then proceeded to call me back shortly after and stated that George would drop off a refund check for an unspecified amount the following day.
The following day George returned to my residence and provided a refund check for $182.50. The total amount of money that I spent for 25 minutes of labor, $30 of materials, and a lot of frustration was $282.50.
Unbeknownst to me at the time my parents had the EXACT same problem the prior week and another company (C & C Air Conditioning & Heat) came to their residence. That contractor replaced the capacitor, and cleaned my parent AC unit for a whopping $150.00.
Below I have linked pictures of my receipt, my parents receipt, where to buy a capacitor online, and a website that states the typical prices for this type of repair. I feel that this company simply scams people out of money.
In summary I would not recommend this company. They charge way to much and take advantage of people who maybe do not know any better. STAY AWAY!
