"Albert Nahman PHC installed new AC and Furnace for my house. I like them for several reasons -- 1. At first Tom explained in detail what equipment I need and how they work, and gave me a reasonable and detailed quote at end of the visit. 2. They offer interest free finance. 3. I got free upgrade for furnace when the original quoted is not available. 4. Their installer did good job, and cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend this company."

"I recently had a new HVAC system installed by Aireserv, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the beginning, the team was professional, courteous, and informative. They arrived on time and were very thorough in explaining the detailed installation plan, the features of the new system, and how to operate it. The installation went smoothly, and the technicians cleaned the area while working. Once the system was installed, they ran tests to ensure everything was working perfectly and took the time to answer all of my questions. The new HVAC system has been a game-changer in terms of performance. It heats and cools my home more efficiently than my previous unit, and I've noticed a significant improvement in comfort and air quality. The system runs quietly and maintains an even temperature throughout my home. I also appreciate the energy savings I'm already seeing. My energy bills have been noticeably lower, which I can directly attribute to the new system's efficiency. Overall, I'm delighted with the service from Aireserv and the performance of the HVAC system. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC installation or upgrades. They provided excellent service from start to finish! A BIG THANK YOU TO ALTON THOMPSON AND HIS TEAM FROM AIRESERV."

"Duke came to diagnose the problem and ordered the part and returned and installed it the next day. By the way Duke wore booties so he wouldn't tramp in the rain into the house."

"We recently installed solar panels on the roof and continued the 'infrastructure upgrades' with a new furnace and central air conditioner, having cooled the house in summers with breezes and fans and insulation, but no A/C. <br /> Comfort Energy was more expensive than other bidders, but my spouse (who drove the process) felt the most detailed options and trade-offs were presented by Carlos Gonzalez.  So we went with Comfort.  The installation team was VERY professional and courteous, working hard to minimize disruption (we work from home offices, and have dogs...) while doing the work, and leaving an immaculate workspace at the end of each day. <br /> The job, by coincidence, finished on the hottest day of the summer thus far and one part of the furnace install involved opening all windows and blasting the furnace on high for a number of minutes to clear out some factory material/fumes.  This was fascinating on a 90-100F degree day.  That part concluded, we shut the windows, turned on the AC and the house became cool again. <br /> Next will come the post-install QC/QA check, and the next 2-3 years of on site tune-ups and services. So we'll see how that goes.  But so far so good.  We'll never know of course if different equipment would have been better/worse, but we do know that the UI of the experience seemed to go quite well and very, very professionally. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"We had an excellent experience with Alanis Air HVAC. We are in an older house, and the installation of mini-split units with a heat pump was the most efficient solution to our heating and cooling situation. John, Santiago, and Jose provided expert installation. They were extremely efficient, and also tireless. Santiago and Jose came and worked into the night on several occasions to make this project work on time. They also handled carpentry and repainting. In the end we have an efficient, highly effective new system. These gentlemen were extremely pleasant to work with and totally accommodating of our schedule. I would definitely recommend them again. I should mention that this installation was a major economic commitment, and we are totally satisfied with the work and with the relationship we had with John and Alanis."

"Bobby was not only extremely knowledgeable but also super efficient. We did a full remodel that only had heat central air. Bobby was able to get us the right unit to add AC to our home and update our heat as well. Definitely recommend Bobby for your home heating and cooling solutions. "

"I had been using another company and bought an A/C system from them and there were problems. Josh explained the previous company did not install it correctly. He identified and corrected the problems with the previous A/C installation and installed a new A/C system and gas furnace as well. He was very professional, easy to trust, and he did everything he said he was going to do and was on time. The price was reasonable and he is honest and has integrity!"
