• Charlie at Essential Air is someone I highly recommend! He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, and dependable. I’ve used Charlie for both my rental properties and my personal home, and he has always done a great job. It’s not easy to find an honest and knowledgeable AC technician these days, so having someone you can trust is a huge plus. If you’re looking for reliable AC service, definitely check out Charlie and Essential Air! 👍

  Guillermo B.★★★★★

• Charlie fixed the problem within 10 minutes the same day. He also showed me how to fix a routine problem which was very helpful.

  Keith C.★★★★★

• Charlie is the bomb! He was able to come out the same day and had our AC unit up and running in no time. Don’t let other companies try to sell you a new unit—call Charlie for a second opinion!

  jake V.★★★★★

• I have had Charlie come out for a few different issues with my AC over the years. Most recently the blower motor got fried when lightning struck nearby. He is always honest, fairly priced, prompt and communicative. I appreciate that he always goes for the fix rather than recommending replacements!

  Ame W.★★★★★

• Charlie is the absolute best, called when the AC turned off and he came out in 30 minutes. Helped us learn more about our setup and know who to call when we have issues again.

  Ian I.★★★★★

• I called Charlie on Monday morning asking to set up a service call. He was at my house within an hour and provided top-notch service and customer support. Even my dog liked Charlie! I highly recommend Essential Air Conditioning. I gave him a holler, and I’m not hot under the collar!

  CHRIS C.★★★★★

• Outstanding service! I found great reviews for this business on NextDoor and called to have our a/c repaired. Charlie came out the same day, and thankfully, it was a minor repair. Professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. It’s refreshing to see a company that truly does the right thing. Highly recommend!

  Nancy S.★★★★★

• Essential Air was recommended to me by a couple of friends after I went into sticker shock from another a/c company's quote. Charlie at Essential Air was able to provide information over the phone, was flexible with my ever changing schedule, then diagnosed and fixed our issue. He also gave us some advice on proper upkeep and potential future maintenance. He also charged us a more than fair price and took a moment to say hello to our pups before heading out. Essential Air saved us hundreds of dollars and eased our stress levels. Highly recommend.

  Kristen R.★★★★★

• Essential Air is amazing! Another company told me I’d need to replace my entire AC unit, but Essential Air came out, quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed it without any need for a replacement. They saved me a ton of money, and now my AC works perfectly. Honest, skilled, and reliable—I highly recommend them for any HVAC needs!

  Jan S.★★★★★

• You won’t find a more honest, hard working, fair and friendly HVAC guy on the planet. Charlie is the BEST!

  David B.★★★★★

• Essential air came highly recommended and we couldn't be happier with their service. Charlie returns calls in a timely manner, he shows up on time and has a keen knowledge of his trade. Very impressive. Recently, after hurricane Helene shut our air down we reached out to essential air to schedule a service call. Charlie gave me step by step instructions on how to "reset " the system to see if that would correct the issue and sure enough, it worked!! This proves honesty and integrity on their part and has made Essential Air our "go to" for all of our air conditioning needs.

  Rhonda L.★★★★★

• We used Essential Air Conditioning for our annual maintenance checkup today. We are very pleased. Everything went smoothly from scheduling to service completion. On our call to schedule service, Charlie explained what was covered and quoted a price. For the appointment, it was scheduled promptly. Today, before his arrival, Charlie contacted us and asked if he could come a little early. We said yes. Upon arrival, Charlie was polite and professional. He gave us a detailed report on the status of our air conditioner's health. It passed with flying colors. When it came time to pay the bill, Charlie presented us an invoice for the exact amount he quoted us when the appointment had been scheduled.

  Mary P.★★★★★

• If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We have had 2 experiences with Charlie. 1 My mother (85years old) had another company come out & check on her AC- they told her she needed to replace the entire unit for over $8000.00- Charlie came out and reconnected the thermostat with a small service fee & she is all set. Charlie came to our house, adjusted 2 of our units checked for any issues, fixed a few minor things for a very reasonable price. THANK YOU! Highly recommend! Honest, thorough, well priced, and the list goes on.

  amanda A.★★★★★

• They did an excellent installation and the contractors were very respectful. Price was very competitive and would recommend.

  Sharlett M.★★★★★

• Same day service. Diagnosed my problem quickly and offered a reasonable price on repair 👍

  Douglas H.★★★★★

• Always great service from Essential Air. Thank you!!

  Leann D.★★★★★

• Great service. Came out to fix my AC within a matter of hours. Definitely recommend giving Charlie a call for your AC needs .

  Sophie C.★★★★★

• This small business came out on such short notice the day before my 4th of July party to service my ac and get things up and running again. Standing in the dark to replace a component defective from the supplier. They could have waited until the next day but they didn't their work ethic is fantastic. Charlie is a boom to our local community.

  Montana F.★★★★★

• Came home today to a hot house, the day before a Hurricane is due to impact our area. My husband recalled our daughter telling him about an AC company that they used recently and so, after a call to Charlie, he arrived within the hour (luckily he was nearby at another job), got us up and running in a matter of minutes. Charlie was professional, reasonably priced and honest! I hope we don’t need an AC repair anytime soon, but if we do, know he will be our first call. Thanks!

  Cindy S.★★★★★

• So after going through so many “24/7” AC repair companies on Google I FINALLY came across Essential Air! They didn’t try and book me out two weeks he told me he would have someone at my home in 30 minutes and as stated a gentleman showed up in 30 minutes. I don’t know how to get them higher on Google but I’m happy I found them! He is changing my capacitor and returning to clean the coils after the hurricane! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company this is a hardworking, ethical, and reliable AC company!

  Heidi G.★★★★★

• Charlie is a life saver. He's truly doing God's work for a reasonable price. He came out and saved me from the heat on a Sunday, he was honest, professional and friendly. I'm a senior and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Charlie!! - From Sherry and Son

  sherry S.★★★★★

• Charlie came out short notice on a Sunday morning and helped fix our air conditioner so that we are able to keep our infant safe! Can’t thank him enough for his prompt service when no other company would even answer their phone! Will definitely be using his services again! Thanks Charlie!

  Adam S.★★★★★

• My air quit on me and I called Charlie and he told me he was book until later the next day. It was 91 degrees in my home. He just so happened to call me back and say he was able to fit me in and showed up that evening and fixed the problem!! He’s efficient and honest and I am so grateful he was able to help me when no one could make it. I will recommend him to everyone!!!

  Kelly B.★★★★★

• When my AC went down on a weekend, during a record breaking heatwave, Essential Air not only answered the call but was here to get everything up and running same day. Charlie was on-time, efficient, and knowledgable. He even showed me how he fixed it to save me next time. Thanks again Charlie!
