"From beginning to end, The Right Choice Heating and Air Conditioning Co. provided superior quality customer service and onsite work. From scheduling, to multiple follow-ups and reminders, re-confirming exact appointment time, and the post-inspection follow-up, they have truly impressed us. More importantly, Michael Taib, the technician who performed the work at our home, was indeed a true gentleman and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient. I am familiar with the type of HVAC related work requirements, the lingo, and technician data. I quizzed him several times and he constantly responded with 100% honest and factual answers. He tirelessly worked on both of our HVAC units and performed the necessary services and repair. He was polite, courteous and clean. His most impressive talent was ensuring my wife's absolute confidence in his work after she grilled him with so many questions! We will continue to refer True Choice to all our friend and family! Call them; you will not be disappointed."

"Benjamin and his entire crew were the best! From the start I was provided with personal, thorough and professional inspection of my HVAC unit. When I decided that I wanted to do an entire replacement of my system, Benjamin provided multiple options to fit my needs. He always responded to my questions and their crew showed up on time each day they were scheduled to work. My project was tough as I live in an older townhome, but Benjamin and his team worked hard to make sure everything was done right. He truly cares about his clients, and the quality of work that he does. If you need any type of work done on your AC or HVAC unit - this is your guy! "
