"Dave was very efficient and knowledgeable. He was able to supply my quote before he left. I look forward to working with Southland heating and air. Follow up: I made my decision and signed the contract. Best decision I could have made. They were thousands of dollars less for the exact same equipment than 3 other companies I got estimates from. When challenged none of the other companies could revise their estimate to even come close. Southland is a Mitsubishi diamond dealer so I got full Mitsubishi warranties plus 1 year from Southland of parts and service. The day the installers arrived, on time, it was raining. Jamie and Ricardo used the utmost care to protect my home. They covered the floors, moved and covered the furniture and made sure before they left that I fully understood how to use the remote and operate the equipment. I have attached a photo so you can see for yourself the way they carted for my home. The equipment works perfectly. I would hire this company again in a heart"

"I had All City Plumbing come out to help me fix my high water pressure. Technical named Alexis H came and was able to install a new 3/4 pressure regulator. Regulator he installed was double union and he explained that is to help make it be an easier exchange if it goes out again. Highly recommended All City Plumbing. Happy with work and value."

"Very in detail description of what needed to get done and the why behind it. Awesome job, professional, answered every question on why my central AC was strong on first floor but very weak in second floor. Air handler moved from bottom floor to upstairs attic, higher capacity central AC and all ducts changed. Beautiful work done in 3 days with detailed report of what was done. Fair price for the job done. Before and after."

"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!"
