"Cristian was very professional and verifed problem. I called Next Level because the quote given by Paul Mitchell's Aircare did not seem competitive. I was correct. Paul Mitchell stated I needed 4 lbs of refriegerant at $289/lb totaling $1156. Cristain at Next Level diagnosed the same problem, but stated I only needed 3 lbs of refrigerant at $125 toling $375., a $781 savings. I agreed to purchase annual maintenace form Next Level which provided an additional $50 savings on my bill and Next Level's Annual maintenenace for 2 A/C units was onlky $250 versus $260 with Paul Mitchell."

"Jesse replaced both units and added two attic fans that keep our house cool during the summer! He was very clean and professional. Jesse explained what work needed to get done. I originally got 3 different quotes that concurred with his assessment of the need, but best of all, he offered to do it at a reasonable price. He still calls us to check in on the unit. We highly recommend him. Can’t say enough good things about him and his services."
