We have been a customer of Barker for many years. I am very happy with their service. They service our AC/Heater which keeps it working efficiently. They also offer prompt service if a problem arises. Their prices are also fair and worth the cost. read more

My furnace stopped working and Michael Smith came out to trouble shoot and repair my furnace. Michael discovered that my pressure valve had failed and needed to be replaced at the cost of $650. Michael said it was unusual for a 5 year old pressure valve to fail, but sometimes part wear out sooner than average. When the new pressure valve arrived Michael installed it, but the furnace would still stay lit. Michael then started an extensive trouble shooting procedures to find the root cause of the what caused the original pressure valve to fail early and what was keeping the new valve from functioning properly. Michael finally found the heater exhaust pipe was clogged up by an old hornet's next in the pipe. Michael then went way above and beyond his normal duties and cleared out the hornet's nest which was quite difficult to do. Clearing out the nest took a lot more time and work then what was required for just installing the new pressure valve. Finally Michael was successful in installing the new pressure valve after cleaning out the furnace exhaust pipe. Thanks to Michael my house is warm again. I can highly recommend Michael for any heating and/or cooling repair and maintenance services. Michael is definitely a 5 star technician. read more

I have written a few reviews for Barker A/C & Electric over the years. Last month, my central AC unit that Barker had kept going forever finally bit the dust. Many times over the past 15 years, every tech would say after fixing this part or replacing another, you know, someday soon you will have to replace this system. The inside parts, including the coils, etc., were original from when the house was built in 1976; the outside fan and condenser were replaced about 15 years ago. I never expected to have anyone but Buddy at Barker AC to replace my home's system, but because I was getting some help with paying for it I had to get a couple of estimates. All I will say is that nobody else who came out and gave me a quote came anywhere close to the quote I got from Eric at Barker! I got a top-quality 4-ton Rheem system, full installation, which included removing the original poured concrete slab it sat on, replacing it with a brand new and beautifully white concrete pad. They did everything anyone, even the most demanding Yenta, could think of. They left my utility room twice as clean as it was before arriving. They did the full removal and installation, including the electric work, and had the new system up and running in less than one full work day. Because I am a loyal customer of over 20 years, and I am a U. S. Navy veteran, Barker sharpened their proverbial pencil and gave me the deal of the century that included everything I asked for, including a new fancy thermostat, and also included a 10-year parts and labor warranty!! Every other company offered a 2-year full parts and labor warranty, and for just a couple thousand dollars more, they would upgrade the warranty to last for 10 years, which Barker AC & Electric included up-front. If I hadn't already had enough great service from Barker over the last couple of decades to warrant a guaranteed 5-star rating, they sure have gone over the top now. Oh yeah, they also give you a month to pay after the house is cold. As Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) would say, Barker AC is the "Finest Kind"! read more

Barker replaced our condenser and air handler this week. Last week. Eric came out to look at our system, discuss the pros and cons of the various offerings, and gave me a proposal by the end of the day. The next day I chose one and the following week it was installed.Mike and Charlie went above and beyond in their installation and included a tuneup of the ducks in the attic as a bonus. We couldn't be happier with our system, it's installation, and the responsiveness and respectfulness of Barker. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Excellent service and very professional Quality service men they have it together Don't hesitate to use Barker for any of your HVAC issues read more

My advice: not a great choice At some point in your career, you may have worked with an employee who chronically under-performs and everyone makes excuses for them. This is my experience with Barker. The technicians are pleasant enough, and sound great, but don't seem to get the job done the first time. . read more

I was so impressed with Angel. I've been dealing AC companies for many years and I've always felt taken advantage of. This is the first time I felt they were really interested in helping me. They did such a thorough job that I was amazed at what they were charging for the service. The marketing tools were impressive as well, but Angel really outdid himself and represented your company amazingly. I will sing your praises from here on in!!! Highly recommend doing business with this company. Roger O Marcil read more

Misdiagnosis on a newly installed Furnace that stopped working. Was told needed new parts. A second opinion gets it up and running in 15 minutes. It was a poorly wired connection by Barker when they installed the new Furnace causing the wire to heat up and burn up.. Lost confidence ! read more

We have used Barker for about18 years. Recently they performed our summer maintenance on a Wednesday, replacing a part they had on order. The following Tuesday, the person who checks on our house, saw condensation on all of the windows. He entered the house to see thermostats set at 60 degrees. The access door to the mechanicals was left open and the front door was not shut properly. We called to speak to a manager. No call. The third time we called, after being put on hold, a manager did respond. We asked how and why did this happen. He said he would get back to us. Still waiting. read more

Out AC went down November 22 and finally was fixed 10 days later after 3 trips and several service calls just to replace the motor. Very stressful to say the least. Unfriendly technicians. Will be canceling our service contract for sure and going to sign up with Sea Coast. When we tell our friends and coworkers of this experience they ask, who is your service company? We tell them Barker and they all say time to get a new AC service provider. read more

After being out of town for awhile, we arrived home to find our 19 year old AC system down. I called Barker at 7:45 AM after a hot, uncomfortable night of poor sleep. They had a tech at our house at 8;45 AM who gave us the news that the old AC unit was kaput! Later that day they sent their Sales Manager Eric to our home to give us options on a new unit. After discussing it with my wife, we made our selection to replace it the next day. Manuel and Carlos arrived about 8:30 AM with the new Trane HVAC system and began the long, process of removing the old system and installing the new one over the course of the next 10 hours. Most of the work was done in the extremely hot confines of our attic. As far as my wife and I are concerned, these guys are supermen. Their skill and attention to detail were admirable. We have nothing but praise for the job they have done along with their perserverance and stoicism during the long, grueling process. Barker should be proud of these employees. Kudus to Barker all the way around for a job well done. read more

Barker was highly recommended by our pool servicing company (Blue Dolphin Pool) to review an error code on our 5 year old WeatherKing pool heater that was not heating. The tech that was sent presented himself as having little to no experience and relied on conversations with another tech via cellphone as to the possible issue; charge $85.00. Follow-up to this site visit, the determination was made that a specific part was the root cause; total $828.00. Our bad was not asking the question, was the unit worth repairing ? Subsequent pool heater repair companies answered uniformily "no" when inspecting the unit afterward. After investing $913.00 with Barker, another issue was noted and a further $125.00 was recommended by Barker, we elected to stop the bleeding seek a second opinion. A site inspection by a servicing company noted a glaring issue missed by Barker, a main power lead to a capacitor ($20.00 part) had rusted off; the unit would have never run correctly in the first place with or without the part replaced for $828.00. Please note that calls to Barker AC leadership on more than one occasion were not returned. In summary/lessons learned: 1. Barker AC may be well equipped to service AC units, but pool heaters are not a specialty of theirs. Hire a firm that specializes in pool heaters. 2. Barker AC field staff are not likely to suggest a unit is beyond repair and will allow a customer to invest needlessly so long the customer allows based on our interactions. 3. By all appearances, customer service is non-existent. read more

No problems and no issues on a recent central air conditioning replacement at my office in Vero Beach. I was a "captive audience" inasmuch as my landlord was in charge of the purchase of the new A/C unit and the vendor. With that said, I was happy and had no complaints. Serviceman arrived early for their appointment and fully explained the installation process. They were friendly and polite and cleaned up after themselves. No issues whatsoever. William E. Lewis Jr. Vero Beach, Florida. read more

Barker Air Conditioning and Hearing from Sebastian. A racket: you pay an hourly fee of $150 plus a diagnostic fee of $85. Which brings the hourly fee to $235. A bit high in my opinion. read more

Barker has now not just once but twice come to the rescue when our AC had some glitches. They were so incredibly nice and understood the urgency and had someone out same day during a holiday weekend. They are so knowledgeable and honest and just all around just super awesome to do business with. Can't say enough great things! read more

We have used Barker since we moved to Vero 7 years ago. We decided to go with them because of Jeff, who was then a tech and who is now in a supervisory position. His presentation was excellent, and years later we know we made the right choice. They are always there when you need them, they are on time, efficient, and most importantly, honest. We recommended them to my friends down the street, and two days ago they came home to no air conditioning. Barker came out that day and worked until 10PM, they returned in the morning to finish the job. I cannot say enough about the company and the people who work there. read more

Called Barker when my AC was not working and I was out of town. Neighbor went over to let them in. Was told that the system was tuned up and the problem was fixed. After returning home the AC was not adequately cooling the house down in the afternoon so tried to call Barker back. First call was put on hold and hung up on. Second call was immediately put on hold and forgotten. Called another company. The water line was clogged and never checked even tho I was told that a complete system check was done. Very poor and incompetent service. Did they just try leave it undone to get another service call charge from me? I won't use them again. read more

We had good experience with Barker maintenance for years, so called Barker for update new efficiency AC for condo unit in December,2021. after 4 months, the AC leaked water on top of our new hot water heater, so the cable of hot water heater burned badly. The reason of leaking is Barker AC installment team connected the water pipe with wrong material, using metal/plastic connected pipe instead of just one single metal pipe! The plastic pipe could not hold the water pressure, so leaking through the connection point. Barker acknowledged that installation mishandled the pipe, so Barker quickly repaired AC pipe itself. But we were left to pay the bills of repair our hot water heater. All our effort to communicate with Barker was ignored. We made. Mistake to hire Barker for update our AC, Barker's good company name is no longer there any more! read more

I wasn't even aware of this company until last night (makes sense, I live in AZ) - but they are on the top of my Florida A/C list as of today! My Mom's A/C unit went down 3 days ago. The company she'd been using for service - gee, I don't want to mention any names, but their initials are Aztil A/C out of Palm Beach - came out and told her they couldn't get a new motor for at least THREE weeks! It's the middle of June in FL and that's what they're telling an 86 year-old woman with no air. As the story unfolded, it was obvious they were just doing their best to pressure her into purchasing a new unit from them. Shame on you for trying to bully a senior citizen! Funny how Barker sent out their guy (love you Ricky!) who was nice enough to work until the job was DONE. He arrived at 7:30 in the evening and was there until 11! And what a shock, he installed a new motor, not to mention finding a myraid of other problems as well which he also fixed. The other company had been doing the servicing of the unit for the past few years, so I'm sure the problems were many. So thanks again Barker, I think you guys are the best! read more

My AC failed during extra high temps and humidity. It was 86 degrees in my home. I spoke to friendly Britney at Barker, and to my delight, service tech Kevin was at my home in less than 2 hours. He found the problems and fixed everything in under an hour. He also patched my leaky ductwork, helping me save electric and cool my home more efficiently. The temp in my home dropped within minutes, and it's now very cool and comfy. I am super satisfied with every aspect of the way Barker does business and their professional, knowledgeable services, are truly 5 star. read more

I've never had a problem with my AC until recently. It finally went down and I called another company before them. They came out and they said it would be 3 weeks before they could get me a new coil. So, I called Barker and they came out literally 45 minutes later, evaluated the motor, and said they would be back the next day with a new one. They showed up 30 mins before schedule and my new coil was installed in the blink of an eye, and my AC was up and running again I was so delighted!!! Barker is the best, you get what you pay for. Will use them again if I ever have problems again. Thank you Scott and Christopher for installing my coil. read more

We were having problems with our AC unit lately. We called out Seacoast for a service and to possibly diagnose/trouble shoot the issue. Seacoast came out cleaned the drain line with a shop vac and barely poked their head in the air handler before they instantly recommended it be replaced in its entirety by them of course. My unit is only 9 years old so when I asked if we could just service it to correct the problem they said it would basically be throwing money away because of the age of the unit and it would be best to simply replace it. I declined their offer. My next call was to Barker the following day and it couldn't have gone any different. They came out that same morning and instantly found it was a bad blower motor. They had my ac up and running again in no time for a fraction of what seacoast wanted to charge me. If it can be repaired they will repair it they are not out to take advantage of you. I highly recommend Barker AC and will only be doing business with them moving forward. read more

The installation was fine and units worked fine, The office lady is terrible to deal with. Brittany was very unhelpful.

I called and JJ from Barker was here in 30 minutes! After checking several parts, a condenser was changed and the air conditioning was cold again. Very efficient and complete review of the air conditioning system was done. Only company to call for your air conditioning needs. read more

Fast service! My air-conditioning had gone out. I called at 12:30ish and spoke to a wonderful woman who calmed me down and scheduled an appointment. Josh arrived at my home an hour earlier than the estimated time. Super friendly and professional! He checked the entire unit and replaced the broken fan in less than an hour, then sat outside in the 90 degree heat for 15 minutes to make sure it kept running. Because I have the annual checkup plan with Barker, the service call and labour were free AND I got a 15% discount on the new fan! I will definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbours! read more

I was a customer of Barker Air for many years without complaints until recently. The company sent me to collections because of their poor record keeping. I did not even receive a call letting me know that I had an outstanding balance and they were sending me to collections. I am giving Barker Air 3 stars due to their inability to have a personal contact with their customers. read more

I have used Barker since I relocated to Fla. three years ago, and have been satisfied with their work. I recently had problems with my A/C. The first Baker tech. that looked at my unit seemed really confused as to what the problem was. He called his supervisor several times and then told me, it was either low on freon, or that the coil needed replacing. He said I could either pay $89.00 to see if it was the freon, or $6800.00 for a new coil. Of course I opted for the freon. It lasted two days. So, I had them install a new coil and more freon. That lasted two days. They sent another tech. and he found a leak in the copper wires that ran from the unit to the inside. I feel that I really didn't need tthe new coil and i'd just lost $680.00 for nothing. It cost $2,450.00 to finally get the unit working again. I called the company several times and left messages for the owner of the company to call me, so I could talk with him. He never returned my calls. I will not use Barker again. C. Boling read more

I moved to FL in 2009. Horrible experiences with most service providers. Seriously sketchy businesses! Had a problem with the AC yesterday and based on a recommendation from a friend I contacted Barker, who responded promptly. All I can say is Wow! Professional, prompt, reasonable and honest. Didn't try to sell me a thing, and patiently gave me a great AC education in the process. You've restored my faith. Thank You!!! read more

We did it. Worked hard, played by the rules, and we're very blessed. So when we retired and bought our dream house in FL it included a beautiful little screened in pool. Who knew it needed to be heated in the winter. Having spent many years as a licensed HVAC tech. I was probably the worst kind of customer. I had a clue what was broken and how to repair it, all be it a little behind the times. My pool heater is old, poorly installed, and showed signs of being previously repaired. I asked Barker HVAC to take a look and tell me if it was fixable. Rickey from Barker identified a freon leak and I was quoted a repair price with no guarantees. A few days latter I was glad to see they sent that Rickey was the tech sent to attempt the repair, I explained we were hoping to get another season from it. Needless to say it worked, but not without some challenges. I would happily recommend Barker HVAC. They come out same day, are very professional and competent. read more

My Wife and I had an issue located in the air handling unit that caused water to build up on the bottom of the air return. We've been using Barker for about 6 years now as they've been a name you can trust and rely on. Just this year 2014 we've had challenges with one unit and we have the maintenance agreement through Barker. The yearly check up was performed 2 weeks prior on both units in our home with no issues found even with the coils. It was time to change the air filters and when doing so we discovered a lot of water in the air return with mold and wet drywall where the upstairs unit is located. We contacted Barker and got a repair person to our home. They arrived in a timely fashion and after reviewing the issues and make a temp repair, the repair person stated he would follow up with his boss to inform him of what he found and to see what could be done after he removed the standing water from the unit so it doesn't keep happening. Another person from Barker came to our home took measurements and came up with a pan and a sensor that if water would collect it would shut the unit down so the water will not overflow and cause more water damage. We got the pan and sensor installed as well as the coils acid washed to possibly stop the water leaking down into the new pan. We then contacted a contractor to come out and repair the water damage to our wall caused by the AC Unit. All was well for a short while then we found the air unit not working due to the pan filled with water from the coil that tripped the sensor. I called back into Barker and got another repair person to come to our home to see what else could be done to stop this issue. The fix would be to replace the coil, which is costly but required. Barker was very kind to credit the acid wash to the coil which brought the labor and price of the new coil to $907.00 at the time of service. This work was performed on 11.7.2014 and just today 11.29.14 there was damage located on our custom faux painted wall where it was hit at some point during the repair visit. This located on the corner of the wall which will be almost impossible to match up the hand painting due to it having 4 different colors of paint to represent a stone finish. The repair person was informed to please be aware of the walls as they been custom painted by a person that doesn't live in the state. We understand that accidents happen, however I and my wife work very long hours and days to have what we have and would hope that if a person was made aware of what to look out for they would take some precautions to limit the possibility of a damage. Not informing us of the damage is why I've scored so low. At this time, we've placed a call into Barker requesting a phone call to schedule a date and time for someone at a Management level to come to our home to observe the damage left behind by their repair person. read more
