I just had a new AC, furnace and insulation installed by Green Collar. Holy Moley, talk about good…read moreservice. I knew from the minute I talked with Bill Cook I wanted these guys to install (helped by the fact that my friend and well respected broker Eileen Gill recommended them VERY highly). Bill was patient with my questions, gave me a very thorough assessment of what i needed, was very transparent with pricing and options on COA rebates and programs vs what I needed. He didn't upsell, worked with my budget, and I felt like he really had my best interests at heart. The install teams were true professionals, very covid aware, clean and precise in their work, and I really felt like I had absolute experts taking care of my beloved home. Even during an ice storm event, they came through and finished the work and my home is now warm and cozy and the new furnace is so silent and efficient. Is it wierd that I wish I needed another AC? They are that good. What a find. I will for sure recommend them to everyone who asks.

I chose Green Collar for my City of Austin Weatherization service. I was hesitant, and called the…read moreoffice to ask questions about the business. Cord spent about 20 minutes answering my questions about how long they had been in business, how they would handle unexpected problems, and what I could expect. The owner Ron came out for the evaluation appointment and he also explained more details of the work they would perform. The installation of new ac ducts went very smoothly and the workers cleaned up after finishing each day. I would highly recommend Green Collar to anyone needing duct replacement or repair.

He explained to me each of the things he was doing, what he looked for in an audit, and what to expect. He also answered all of my questions about the kind of improvements that were worth it and those that were a waste of money. We were required to have an Energy Audit to sell our home and our realtor recommended Andy. Lucky for us, Andy found no recommendations and gave us a good "bill of health." What I like more is that if he does have recommendations, he doesn't perform any work himself, providing a truly unbiased opinion. I fully plan on having Andy perform an audit of our next home, whether it is required or not.

Not only did they replace my old HVAC with a more efficient unit, they worked in partnership with Austin Energy to upgrade and weatherize my entire house, getting rid of funky old ductwork, sealing everything up, and moving the furnace to a better location. Over the years, I'd gotten used to having a few cold rooms and too many warm ones, but I now have consistent, comfortable cool. This took quite a bit of work on their part, but Matt and everyone on the crew made it easy to have them around. They were hard-working, respectful, friendly, even fun. And they did it all at a price that even this starving artist can afford. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Skip those companies that spend their money on endless TV commercials, and call 1st Choice first.

We're in the middle of a hectic renovation with an ancient HVAC system, half our exterior wall…read moreinsulation missing, and some drywall open to the outside. So honestly, I didn't expect an attic makeover ALONE to completely solve our heat problem. Investigate your attic and air leaks before spending quadruple+ the cost to upgrade the entire hvac. With almost fossilized attic insulation, passive inefficient gable vent and no radiant heat barrier, we've been sweating inside the house as soon as the sun was out. While they were working on the attic with the old insulation removed and attic door open, the inside temperature spiked to 80°F with the AC blasting nonstop. Once the new insulation and radiant barrier was in, even our obsolete hvac was able to keep the house cold that we had to raise our target temperature. Mistakes happen, but how a company responds reveals their true character. After the blow-in, negative pressure began pulling loose insulation through hidden gaps around our furnace closet ceiling, clogging our AC filter and choking the airflow. Following a long evening of emergency DIY sealing and cleanup, I reached out to explain the situation. Jim and a technician showed up the very next morning, sincerely apologized, addressed all questions and concerns, and mastic-sealed everything properly. They earned this five-star review because instead of getting defensive, they treated us like human beings, owned the issue, audited what was missed in their protocol, and actively improved their process to prevent it from happening again.

While the repair was being completed, he even brought in portable units to help keep us cool. Michael did exactly what he said he would do and completed the work when he said it would be done.

Having McCullough's comfort contract we were not charged for the visit and analysis. We did pay for labor to cut and flush the waterline and install an access coupling. Sam proposed two solutions, explaining both clearly; showing photos of each way to have future access to flush the water line if needed. His professionalism , expertise, efficiency and clear explanations were much appreciated. This repair reinforced the value of keeping McCullough's comfort contract (2x/year inspections) for Heat and AC maintenance visits including emergency servicing; much needed in 90°+ heat.
