Great people and good service

I would stay away from this company. The technician was very cocky, acted like he knew everything, and seemed more interested in taking advantage of customers than actually helping. My AC unit had leaks, and he refused to fix the problem. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and felt like a scam. This review is based on my personal experience and is not fake. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for honest and reliable service.

would not recommend this company. The HVAC installation was left incomplete, and the work was not performed professionally. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I was left with unfinished work and no acceptable solution. I have documented everything with invoices, photos, and the approved blueprints. Because the company failed to correct the problems, I am now pursuing legal action and reporting the matter to the City for investigation. If you’re considering hiring this company, make sure everything is in writing, verify permits and inspections, and inspect the work carefully before making final payment. Very disappointing experience

Absolutely horrible experience.. waited for the owner mark for a whole month. After he initially came. I called him so many times to have him come out and diag and I even offered to pay a service fee, but nothing. He kept telling me he’s busy and kept giving me appts but he would never show up or reply. He doesn’t care anyways, he doesn’t need any customers because of how busy he is, but for you new people, this is a warning.

I strongly recommend that anyone considering doing business here take the time to carefully read the contract before signing anything. There are details that are not clearly explained upfront, and it can lead to unexpected costs or obligations later

Mark and his crew are fantastic and professional. His quote was fair and among the best value when comparison shopping. We got exactly what he promised and more. There was no nickel and dimeing. Look forward to hiring them again.

This Company is highly competent on what they do. Responsive in timely manner. They explain to you all options and lay down the plan exactly what they will do. I called them and explained to them my situation that we have a 4 months old baby in the house and it was 95 degree that day. They showed up the same day, got the parts the 2nd day, and installed a complete AC unit 10 years warranty. Our house was with no air just for one day. You can't put a price on such response and good work. We love desert In Alaska and will recommend to all our contacts.

Liars and scammers! This "company" sent out a worker who tried to tell me that the error light on my furnace meant normal operation. At this point he tries to leave saying he fixed the issue by moving a curtain in my bedroom. It was obvious he had no clue what he was doing and wanted to leave asap, so we made arrangements for him to come back with an expert in a couple of days. When they returned I was told it would cost $400 for a warranty job, after he was speaking Arabic while discussing the numbers which made me very uncomfortable. I spoke with a distributor in the business and when i mentioned this company name he said they were notorious for this kind of shady activity.

We got our furnace done at work. We have had nothing but problems ever since. Today we had another company come out and inspect the furnace. There are multiple leaks, leaking carbon monoxide, wires are wrong, and many many more problems. They did an awful job, I would not recommend this company at all.

Do not use this company. They are liars. They make a lot of promises about doing the work and then when you try to call them back they refuse to hang up the phone. Dont let them scam you like they scammed me.
