      When you see how many bad reviews there are about this company 100% believe it. Several years ago Id say about five years ago now my father had a new unit put into our home. Weve had issues with it from the beginning, but they threw in a service contract, so we use them going forward. Every six months the unit would leak. Ive had to have my ceiling replaced because of this leaking. Theres always been an issue with it, and one time their technician broke our air-conditioning, and they couldnt send anybody out for four days during the highest temperatures of the summer, and I have an elderly father, who cannot breathe very well, and needs air-conditioning to help him during the hot summer months. I tried to contact a supervisor or manager I never get a call back. Fast forward to today, the unit is leaking Freon, and I was told by Air Pros the last time they were here that it was going to cost me $1900 after it had already cost me **** for them to put more free on in Because it needed something called liquid line dryer. Well, a technician from another company came today and told me that the liquid line dryer is fine, there are leaks in the system but because they did such shotty work. When they put the new unit and they shouldve put a new compressor in and they didnt, they use the wrong sized piping And cut roof joist should never have been cut and now needs to be reinforced. This company told me that I should probably get a whole new unit and a new compressor because the compressor and the unit that I have now are not compatible. I was also not given the option to move my air-conditioning unit from the attic to the garage, which wouldve caused a lot less damage to my home over the last few years. Do not use this company under any circumstances! They are horrible and just rob you of money left and right.
