"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."
