Updated Review After…read moreraising concerns, Carlos immediately stepped in and was both professional and understanding. His hands-on involvement made a real difference in getting the project completed. The technicians, including Reydiel, were courteous, skilled, and did a great job. The project has now been completed, and we're happy with the quality of the work. Based on this experience, I would recommend the team--with the note that improving scheduling and urgency would make the overall service even stronger.

The home is less than 10 years old so replacing toilets seemed a bit excessive. I ended up researching the noise the toilet was making myself and realized that it was something that can be fixed pretty easily. I called the manager and spoke to him regarding the poor advice received in regards to replacing the toilets, and he said they would send a second technician to assess the situation. Instead, he sent me a message stating that the initial technician was right and did not send another technician to assess . I ended up going with a different company who came and replaced the valve ...which successfully lowered my water bill by 50%. Problem fixed - without having to replace the entire toilet. I was initially a fan of NSP, but this last visit was very disheartening. I think if they had sent a second technician to evaluate what I was concerned about, they would have seen that the first technician was indeed wrong. I will not be using them again.

From the very start of beginning the process of finding the right AC system, Emmanuel was extremely responsive to all texts and messages, at basically all times of the day. I had a million inane questions and concerns; he answered all of them. We narrowed the list to three 5-ton options. The most expensive one was of my choosing, an American Standard unit, and the other two were a Rheem and a GrandAire (which I hadn't heard of before, it's a subsidiary of Carrier). He recommended strongly that I go with the cheapest one, the GrandAire. He was absolutely correct! It saved thousands of dollars, and it works extremely well. He added a new Nest thermostat, as well. I couldn't be happier. The [minimum 2-year] warranty that he backs up his work with has to be one of the best. If you're in the market for any HVAC work, do not hesitate to hit up Emmanuel and Island Breeze Air.

I called them a couple of weeks ago for a different issue. The technician came out and said the compressor needed to be replaced. The estimate was for over $2k. As this was a relatively new unit, 2-3 years old, i thought that was an exorbitant price considering the parts, not the labor, were under warranty. i got a second opinion from a company a friend recommended. That diagnosis was totally different. NOT a compressor issue but a leak requiring a new condenser coil and compressor line. the cost including gas replacement was less than half the Panther estimate. I had the other company do the repair which resolved the problem. I let Panther know of the alternative diagnosis and the successful repair. I asked for a refund on the initial visit considering the erroneous diagnosis and estimate. I have yet to hear back. Was it a poor or lazy diagnosis or worse overcharging by Panther? I don't know but would not recommend based on this experience.

That's Carolina and the rest of the team at Panther AC. They're the ones who are going to do everything in their power to help you out and make everything okay. And oh, did they do just that. I learned of Panther AC while going through the absolute worst experience with a vendor in my entire life. I was looking through that company's reviews on another site and found a customer who had the same AC problem I did, scrolled through their other reviews, and found they called Panther AC who resolved their issue. Our situation was this: The coils of the exterior unit needed to be replaced on our 14-month-old AC unit but the piece was on backorder for 6-8 weeks (this was in May, but it was still pretty hot out). That other AC company came out every 3-4 DAYS to refill the freon in our unit because it was leaking and once it was depleted, the AC wouldn't cool our house anymore. During Summer in Miami? No, bro. We were going on vacation soon for a week and a half and needed a resolution because I did not trust that company to come by while we were out and get the job done. Plus, what if the freon ran out earlier than expected and our pets were just baking in a hot house until one of their techs came by for a refill? The company stopped taking our calls and I had no faith they'd help so I went hunting for a solution. Panther AC has now entered the chat. I asked my husband to call them and explain our situation. Carolina listened to the whole ordeal. Eventually, the 3 of us were talking through possible solutions (for starters: try to have them take over the open claim we had with Lennox, call their support to see if there was anything they could do, and see if they can find a vendor that had the part in stock). We struck out with Lennox support; Carolina couldn't find the coils from any of their vendors. We were then scheduled for a tech (Frank) to come out to inspect the whole unit and make sure the diagnosis from the other company was correct (thankfully, it was). That same Thursday, Carolina called us to discuss the results. I said I was willing to replace the whole unit, inside and out, and take the financial hit if that's what it took to resolve this soon since we had been in this situation for a month and counting. She was talking about having someone come out on Monday (I think it was the owner, who was on a flight back to Miami at the time) to look at the whole unit, get some more info, and look to install Tuesday (this part's a bit hazy so I might be wrong). We were scheduled to fly out Wednesday and I wanted a little more buffer time in case anything went wrong. I said I could get her the model numbers for both units and read them out to her to help expedite the process. Within minutes, she found a new exterior unit (newer model, too) that was compatible with our indoor unit (why couldn't the other company do that?!). Install was set for Monday. Frank and another tech (I forgot his name!) came by on time, swapped out the unit, and made sure everything was set before leaving and I've been freezing ever since. Our electricity bill actually went down by $30 the month after the install, too! I cannot express how glad I am to have come across this company. They brought my stress level from 130 down to -10. They're 100% honest and transparent with you, they're capable of empathy, willing to work with you to find solutions, and they don't try to upsell you on 10 additional services, nor do they overcharge you. And unlike other companies in Miami that used to be family-owned, when you call, you get someone local and not an outsourced support staff. I HIGHLY recommend Panther AC. They're scheduled to come out for additional work we wanted done and it's good to know that someone competent is coming to do the job and I don't have to babysit them and stress about it. Thank you all for stepping in and going above and beyond to save the day! I cannot thank you enough.

I think he deliberately quotes low to get selected and then increases the price when he visits…read more Also he needs to stop exaggerated claims that are at least borderline lies. It seems he does not try to understand well what the customer is asking: his answer to my "why"s were not good. Details: He quoted me $150 to fix a low refrigerant issue. on visiting, he told me $260 saying that the system has 0 feon. That made me suspicios. The pressure of the system when off was over 200 PSI as shown in the attached picture. Suspecting that he was lying, I weighed myself with his 410 gas tank before he started putting in the refrigerant: 68.9kg. After he was done, I again weighed myself with the gas tank: 67.7kg. So he only put in about 2lb (1.2kg) of refrigerant, certainly less than 3lb. Even after seeing my weight measurements, he told me he put in 4lb. I asked him how did he came up with the 4lb number: he said by looking at the pressure readings: I think he knew he was bullshitting. The system label says it holds 68.8oz 410a (4.3 lb). so it was only about half empty. A 25lb gas tank costs ~300 so. the cost of 2lb 410a is less than $30. so he should have asked for $180 ($150+$30). After complaining, he did reduce the price from $260 to $200, which I consider fair (other quotes were $100-$250). My main issue is his deliberate-seeming low quote and what seems to be deliberate lying.

I connected with Ice City here on Yelp. Ozzy was the first to respond, providing a straight, no-BS,…read morefixed-price proposal for my low refrigerant issur, that immediately distinguished him from the competition. My primary concern with service providers is the inevitable upsell; with Ozzy, that was non-existent. My AC had developed a refrigerant leak during a 95-degree heatwave. Despite a heavy workload of large projects, Ozzy was incredibly accommodating, kept in constant contact, and managed to squeeze me in. His work was focused, precise, and technically sound--the polar opposite of a technician who talks a good game but lacks the diagnostic skills to back it up. He knew exactly what needed to be done, executed the repair efficiently, and left the workspace spotless. I've reviewed the other 2 earlier Yelp reviews for Ice City, and am perplexed as to how they could be so inconsistent with my personal experience with Ice City, or with Ice City's 4.9 rating from 170 reviews over at Google (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ice+City+Air+Conditioning/@25.6554871,-80.4031784,17z/data=!3m1!5s0x88d9c736b4b60817:0x477187a5d83fb0a6!4m18!1m9!3m8!1s0x88d9c7badd9c9fa5:0xf6f3ca0fee22083b!2sIce+City+Air+Conditioning!8m2!3d25.6554871!4d-80.4031784!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F11h4j_24m2!3m7!1s0x88d9c7badd9c9fa5:0xf6f3ca0fee22083b!8m2!3d25.6554871!4d-80.4031784!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F11h4j_24m2!18m1!1e1?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). I do note that they were old (one from 2023 and the other 15 months ago). There are all kinds of explanations, often the result of following the old addage of "you can't please all of the people all of the time", but sometimes for more nefarious reasons which I won't speculate about here, but most people understand how 'the game' is occasionally mis-played by people seeking an edge. Bottom line is this: If you want a professional who knows the trade and respects the customer, with a lot of other happy customers that have taken the time to post 5-star reviews, call Ozzy. He is now my first and only call for AC issues.
