Central A/C Installation
$20,000
I hired Don Busse and his team to install THREE ACs at my Hurricane Ian damaged property. I paid them nearly all of my $20,000 insurance check. The ACs systems have never worked properly and I have called Don repeatedly and he always has an excuse about why nobody can come and honor the warranty and reapair the AC. I feel like I was conned and taken advantage of when I trusted him to do the job right and honor the warranties and make it work. DO NOT hire tihis company. I have been cooking now for four years waiting for the people to come back and NO other company will touch it.!!!!!

Don responded immediately to our request for an air conditioning service. He gave us a good price for a new air conditioner which he had in stock. His installers did a good job removing the old and putting in the new. When we opted for a different air filter his employee did a first rate job of fitting it into the limited space. Cleanup followed the job. My husband and I have been very pleased with Florida Air, their price and workmanship. I would highly recommend them for professionalism and honesty and value.

Eleven years ago Don installed a Ruud system for us, but this summer it failed and needed to be replaced. Don explained that he now recommends Comfort Air equipment as superior to Ruud, and he was able to obtain it for us quickly despite various supply-chain problems afflicting the industry. He installed the new equipment and it's working well. Don has always been responsive to our needs whenever an HVAC problem occurred, and usually he has been able to effect any needed repairs within the terms of applicable warranties, thereby minimizing our costs. He installed a system in our daughter's home in Lakewood Ranch, too, and we do not hesitate to recommend his firm. He excels in providing cost-effective service.

Replaced two AC units (upstairs and downstairs). Very flexible and easy to work with. Respectful of my time and never tried to upsell me. Excellent workmanship and was the lowest price option by a significant margin.

I would like to thank Florida Air Comfort Services for an excellent job. I had four split systems installed , two of which required extensive custom fabrication. Don ( owner) was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He does not work on commission so the quote I received was very reasonable. The installation was flawless. I would recommend Fla Air Comfort to anyone looking to replace their A/C.

As most people here, we also thought Don installed our system properly, little did we know? Six months after installation the system broke down. We contacted Don several times but never got a response from him. Eventually, we contacted another AC company. They found major flaws: - Don installed the wrong heat strip, which caused the transformer to burn. - the unit was not installed? up to code? Dons response: - He claimed the unit was not up to code because the county code had changed?. We verified that with the county and the code had not changed... - Don promised to get the unit inspected after installation, but he did not? He only applied (retroactively) for a permit when we complained. This confirms he was dishonest because you cannot get an inspection without a permit... Avoiding inspections seems to be how Don works, see the review of Harold I. Venice, FL. - Don failed the actual inspection by the county twice, due to severe issues... - Don refuses to pay for the damage caused by his incorrect installation. Unfortunately, our unit is still not working correctly: - when Don replaced the heat strip he miswired it. - Don used the wrong fuse, effectively removing the protection. When we switched on the heating last winter, it blew the transformer again. - Don again refuses to compensate the damage he caused. These are objective facts about our experience with Don: - After two years our system is still not installed properly and breaks down when using heating - Don did not apply for a permit to install the unit and thus was not planning on having it inspected - Don had to retroactively apply for a permit to setup the inspection. - Don?s unit failed the inspection twice... - Don?s mistakes have damaged our unit twice and he refuses fix it / pay for it. - Several explanations Don has given were dishonest, for example, the county code changes. I?ll leave it up to you to decide whether that?s the kind of person you want to hire to install your AC system.
Response from Florida Air Comfort Services
"The specific install he is talking about was installed approximately 06/11/20 right when Covid was at its peak. I am a company size of 10 people and was down to myself and one other mechanic, things were not going smoothly at this time. He may have contacted me later that year but having contracted Covid myself my only concern was getting well. I could not really do anything during November and In December of the year 2020 my only concern was getting well. The heat was installed properly correctly in sizing and was not defective. The only way it could damage a transformer is if a sequencer that operates the high voltage could have been defective that device operates at 24 volts, the heat strip was operating properly. The bad transformer was the only problem, a factory defect. There were not multiple problems. As for code issues, Sarasota County does change them occasionally. I was out of the loop for a while and I was just checking to make sure. That system did fail twice the reason being is the breaker sizing in the main panel was correct but did not realize that the disconnect by the air handler which usually not fused did have a breaker that was not properly sized, easy fix match the breaker to what is in the panel. For the second time, it failed there was some water condensation on the bottom of the air handler. I discussed the issue with the inspection supervisor at the time indicating that the garage ceiling was in disrepair, a good portion of the ceiling had fallen allowing moist air into the area the air handler I installed and another air handler that another company installed. That was the reason for the condensation. Like putting a glass of ice water outside. Once again Tom is wrong the inspection supervisor past the inspection with no more issues. As for miswiring the heat strip that was never the issue and the fuse protection was in place never any danger whatsoever! Tom needs to educate himself a little and stop making allegations he does not understand. I install over 120 systems a year usually once every two years you get a customer like this, it happens. The transformer was under warranty but I will not pay for someone else's labor, nobody does. As for the system still not working after passing inspection, I find that to be not truthful, never been contacted again which is fine with me! I give an additional nine-year labor warranty at no extra cost for all my replacement customers. Since Tom's rant was posted three customers read it and I still got their replacement business. They understood that you can't please everyone sometimes, especially if that person is not being truthful. Don @ Florida Air Comfort Services. Forty-five years in the air conditioning."

This review is about "after installation" service. Had a major problem with my AC unit and was only in service two years. All it took was one phone call and the problem was repaired without haste. Florida Air Comfort Services are people who who stand behind their products and warranty. Would recommend them anytime. FJL - Sarasota

By far the best value for a quality product. The owner, Don was personally involved in the installation project. He answered all my questions and kept me up to date with how the project was going. He and another worker showed up on time. Three hours later the project was done. They hauled off the old equipment and left the areas they worked in spotless. Don even gave a follow up phone call to see how everything was working. Extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and customer service. Highly recommend them.

Don(owner) was professional and courteous. We discussed my needs and they were met without a problem. Others seemed to complicate the job and justify the higher price. Its not difficult if you have the experience, they did.
