"Overall, it was excellent. Jerry (the owner) came out and was very straight forward as to what needs to be done. Price (compared to 6 other companies) could not be beat. Work was scheduled reasonably quickly and went smoothly. Problems were discovered after installation and when made aware, Jerry and his crew made sincere efforts to set it right – and were able to solve the issues in couple of visits. All of the crew and management went out of their way to ensure that we were satisfied with the work and overall result. Would definitely consider Liberty Plumbing for future work."

"I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I received from HD Mechanical! Their team recently installed mini splits in my home, and the entire experience was seamless and professional. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their expertise and attention to detail were evident. The installers were courteous, informative, efficient, and ensured a precise installation. The mini splits are now providing comfortable and quiet heating and cooling, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend them for their accuracy, professionalism, and top-notch service. Five stars and a job well done!"

"Very knowledgeable, professional, and great customer service! Penguin, serviced our central AC & Heat and they explained everything to us before performing the work. They also replaced our moldy insulation in our attic. They packed and transported the old moldy insulations, ensuring that the mold does not spread, and they left our house free of any mess. I'd recommend Penguin Heating and Air to anybody in need of AC/Heat service, repair, or installation."

"We recently had our air conditioning system replaced by SERVLegacy and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was professional, respectful, and took the time to explain everything clearly without trying to pressure us into anything. The installation went smoothly, they arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything was running properly before leaving. You can tell they really care about the quality of their work and customer service. The new system has been working great and the house feels much more comfortable already. It’s hard to find companies that are reliable and honest nowadays, but SERVLegacy definitely exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for AC replacement or HVAC work."
