Trusted services for HVAC and electrical in Charlotte, NC, can always be found here with Acosta Heating, Cooling & Electrical. Our storied history stretches back to our start in 1972, and we are proud to be a family-owned company that has stood the test of time.

"Lately service at Acosta has been disappointing and confusing. Plus I've had to deal with unprofessional, argumentative and dishonest employee, Ms. Bridget. Monthly I pay $21.45 and per our contract Acosta is suppose to come to my home twice a year to do a tuneup on my heat pump. In 2025 they only came once. I paid more that $250 for them to only come once. How is that fair? This isn't the first time they only came once in a year. The argumentative Bridget angrily told me she would send me a copy of the dates and times they've been to my home...I'm still waiting. I asked Bridget to allow me to speak to the owner, she told me she handles all issues and wouldn't allow me to speak to the owner. So what is a customer to do when they have to deal with an angry, unprofessional, argumentative, dishonest employee? Is it asking too much to get what I paid for?"
