We met with several companies before deciding on 1st Choice and we made the right decision. They were thorough and patient with all of our questions and the installation was smooth and easy. The pricing is reasonable but honestly the service has been fantastic even after the installation. We had an issue with our system and the owner (Corey) came to check it out. It was our error but he was patient and explained what happened in a way that put us at ease. He also spent a lot of time ensuring that it wouldn't happen again. I will be recommending 1st Choice and this team to anyone who will listen.

Disappointed with the overall service, communication, and felt the estimate was overpriced. Always get a second and third opinion.

Technicians showed up on time, performed efficient and clean works. HVAC system is running flawlessly. The city inspection has been passed without a hitch. We like the detailed and straight forward contract. Highly recommended.

We've used another vendor for several years. They recently fell short in diagnosing something completely wrong and taking 3 attempts by me to get in touch with them to get the quote to fix what they told me was wrong. I contacted 1st Choice for a 2nd opinion based on a recommendation from a friend. Steven was phenomenal in his communication the whole way through. I will be canceling with our other vendor and will use 1st Choice going forward.

Incredible experience! I highly recommend 1st Choice Air Conditioning because of the great service they provided. Nico was the technician assigned to us and he did an amazing job. The level of customer service he provided was truly unmatched. His communication, thoughtfulness, expertise and knowledge were top notch and he was so courteous and accommodating. Thank you for a great experience! We will definitely be coming back to 1st Choice for all of our air conditioning and heating needs!

Great experience. Organized and clean work. Those guys are experienced and really willing to do the right thing and spending time to figuring out the problem I had until they got it solved. Recommend the company to everyone.

We had our twin HVAC system replaced in 2020 by 1st Choice. System now is about 3.5 years old as of this review. The system they installed has been working perfectly since installation. We got three estimates and ended up going with 1st Choice. What stood out was their friendliness, flexibility, and objectivity. They didn't try to steer us toward a particular product but instead laid out the plusses and minuses of each (ex. heat pumps vs. gas furnace), giving their recommendations. They were prompt and on time, showing up when they said they would and finishing when they said they would. They have since come out a couple of times when I've had a furnace-related question and they've been very helpful. Special shout-out to Steven McCracken, who came out recently to help diagnose a question I had.

James and his whole team at 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning knock it out of the park every time I use them. They just finished relocating vents for a renovation. In and out. No mess, no issues, everything as promised as Quoted.

I was able to make an appointment on the initial call for the next day. My technician Jeff was prompt, polite, informative and thorough. Service call fee was all that was required which was very fair. I will use them in the future.

I used 1st Choice when my heater stopped working after 6 months of no usage. These guys came promptly, identified the issue, ordered the faulty part, and had everything fixed within a few days. Very fair pricing and professional service. Would definitely recommend!
