Highly Recommend Bowersox A/C! Our 2.5-year-old York A/C unit stopped working on July 1st. The tech initially thought the coil was the issue and ordered a replacement. After Mike from Bowersox spent nearly five hours installing the new coil, Bowersox tech discovered the real problem was a leak in the Freon line that was installed under the house when it was built in 2005. Mike is returning tomorrow to run a new line through the attic. In the meantime, we've been without air conditioning for more than a week. Bowersox immediately provided us with a portable unit to keep our bedroom comfortable, and they've been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Their team has gone above and beyond -- working hard to diagnose the problem correctly and taking care of us while we wait for the permanent fix. We truly appreciate their honesty, hard work, and customer-first approach. I highly recommend Bowersox A/C for anyone needing reliable, professional service. read more

Bowersox just replaced our A/C and we could not be happier. Everyone, from salesman Bruce to installers Mike & Jeff, were great. Bruce gave us some great ideas to maximize our budget and reduce our monthly costs. Mike & Jeff arrived on time and were friendly and knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. They built new plenums to get cold air into the house and added ducts in our Florida room to keep it cooler. Everything was first class. When they were done they cleaned up everything and even put my workbench back where it belonged! I had heard good things about Bowersox and now I'm so glad I chose them. read more

New unit installed in my garage 4/24 and this keeps happening. Ac company already came back out in 9/25 i believe the date to add a 45° angle in the plenum box because the cold air was beating on the side and they thought that is what was causing this and the fact my entire garage attic isn't insulated. Here we are again with the same issue. Iam sure its an install issue with the plenum but of course the ac company wants me to insulate my entire garage attic but its my last unit didn't do this. I can feel cold air coming through the ceiling and plenum box seams, I feel cold air coming from the tape near the door of the unit that doesn't seat right and the door is misaligned. Ive called to have the same issue looked at/fixed but I have to pay to have a tech come out to LOOK AT THEIR SAME ON GOING ISSUE!!!! 8,000 dollars and I can't even get a properly sealed ac unit. read more

July 18, 2025 UPDATE: Bowersox to the rescue. An under 2 year catastrophic York exterior unit failure was expertly addressed by Bruce Bowersox and his team..... Kylie, Brandon, Joe, Patrick, Adam, Amy etc simply amazing!!! They got York to agree to swap out the ENTIRE system under warranty. THIS is world class Service & Support. I have never seen something like this in my 66 years of life in any industry. A little microsite to capture the event : https://gallery.l-y-n-c-h.com/Bowersox/ read more

Looking for AC maintenance? I tried to schedule a maintenance appointment today and somehow ended up in a time loop of confusion and finger-pointing. Apparently, my annual service contract expired, was canceled? ... disappeared into thin air ? because--plot twist--the technician forgot to schedule my next appointment. Or maybe customer service forgot. Depends on who you ask. all I know is, I asked the technician about it at the end of my last appointment and he assured me it would be taken care of. By the time I spoke to Haley (7/21/25), who clearly hadn't had her Monday coffee yet, I was about ready to climb onto the roof and clean the coils myself, ...oh wait I did ! Professional tip: if your company can't decide whose job it is to click a calendar button, maybe don't offer annual contracts ... they're now booking maintenance calls a month out, which is adorable considering how urgent Florida heat can be. Not the kind of "cool" I was hoping for. I was quoted $95 for a diagnostic visit if I wanted to have somebody come sooner than one month! From someone who has been receiving your services since 2021 ... Extremely disappointing. Don't worry if I want to pay the $95 and the $150 contract fee they will be happy to reinstate my canceled contract, smh. Another different company came out the next day and gave me a new person discount of $68, had friendly Office staff, and the technician seemed knowledgeable too. Learn to treat your customers with some kindness it will go along way- if u want cheap prices with attitude and mixed service this appears to be your place. read more

Charlie stopped by to do our maintenance on our A/C. He was very pleasant, professional and thorough with his work. He stated he is new and just got back from deployment. We were impressed by his service and how he took the time to check all the boxes. We have had service in the past from Bowers, but Charlie did a phenomenal job. read more

Needed AC replaced. Bruce Lyons responded. Got me what I needed. Less than 24 hours later, Sean and Tyler are here finishing up. Wish I could swing tips - but let this serve. I can't recommend this company highly enough. read more

My AC unit wasn't working so I called Bowersox. I had the new unit installed the next day by two great guys. They were very friendly,knowledgeable and they cleaned up really well in the end! Thank you Bowersox! read more

I have been a contracted customer of Bowersox for maintaining my AC for several years. On May 12 of this year the unit received its 6 month "preventive maintenance" by Bowersox. My completed invoice contained the following notes by the tech. 1)"All levels of a preventive maintenance has been documented with pictures and videos". 2) "Drain line has been vacuumed, cleaned and primed". On September 28 I found my unit leaking water. I notified Bowersox and was told that they were busy with other customers, but they would have a tech at my residence between 5 and 9 PM! When the tech arrived at about 5:00 PM he found extensive rust built up on my coils and a blockage in my system from the rust. The tech cleaned out the rust and vacuumed my clogged drain. My "full maintenance agreement" contains a check list of 21 maintenance steps. Item number 20 on the maintenance check list says "Treat rusting areas with rust inhibitor". As a result the leaking water has caused $11,000 of damage to my home that is not covered by my home insurance. read more

They are very professional an knowledgeable. I used to use Quality Air but I had some terrible experiences with them. Every time they come they try to upsell you on something. If you decide not to spend the up charges they will literally fight with you. This is what happened to me recently with a tech named Rick from Quality Air. I started using Bowersox on a recommendation from a friend. I'm very happy and recommend them highly. STAY AWAY FROM QUALITY AIR!!! read more

Once again another 5 Star for Bowersox. THis company never ceases to improve their service. Have used them for my house and my sons home for many years. They are prompt, efficient and reasonable unlike any company I have had business dealings with. Yesterday technician Dominic Wood called to advise he was on his way. He arrived at our home and in about an hour had the maintenance completed. He texted me pics and info at every step of the way. I dont know of ANY HVAC company I have used in over 50 years who has been as thorough. They are the BEST read more

very satisfied with their customer service! Excellent repair technicians. They were always polite and helpfu.

NOT RECOMMENDED: Unprofessional service. After 2 years of complaining without success about high humidity inside home to Bowersox service techs at each semi-annual visit, I finally decided to enlist a professional assessment where I learned just how badly my system was designed, installed, and maintained. Background: purchased home in fall 2020; Bowersox performed the pre-purchase inspection giving the system and equipment a satisfactory performance rating without noting any discrepancies. However Quality Control installed the system despite Bowersox's stickers and notes on the air handler. On their latest and last visit this past fall and the usual complaints about high humidity (chronically at 66-77%), Bowersox's tech's solution was to purchase a portable de-humidifier for the living room. Really?! The system is less than 5 years old and should work as intended. Furthermore the tech informed me the ultraviolet lamp system is working well. Funny, but the tech did not open the air handler panel or he would've found a burned out bulb and fully disconnected unit. Final straw. We cancelled the semi-annual tech service and brought in true professionals who performed a load calc and passed along their evaluation: improperly built air boxes that were collapsing in on themselves, plenums improperly constructed using wall insulation, tape and mastic for structure, spliced and criss-crossed ducting lying on top of one another and not suspended, air leaks all over, and, to top it off, an unsecured air handler with a non-secured, warped drip pan. We also learned our AC unit is 1 ton too large for the house, which lead to short cycling. In other words, the system would cool the house too quickly and shut off without allowing enough time for evaporating moisture. To be fair, the oversized unit (4 ton vs. 3 ton) was likely needed to compensate for the old windows and doors replaced by us with hurricane rated and better sealed windows and doors. Regardless, the poor design and installation of the air flow system contributed significantly to the interior humidity which a professional service provider would have identified and made proper recommendations for remediation. In conclusion: Bowersox is NOT RECOMMENDED read more

We have used Tri-County for years, however, when I needed to schedule a maintenance, they were several weeks out, so we decided to try Bowersox who came highly recommended on NextDoor. They performed maintenance, added some freon and also replaced a blower on a separate appointment. Service was OK, I did feel some pressure to replace my units, and their quote for replacement seemed a little on the high end, but not overly so. However, their office staff is awful. Not friendly, bordering on rude. You should really think about replacing your office staff, as I will be switching back to Tri-County on this basis alone! read more

we recently had 2 other air conditioning companies to give us a quote on a dehumidifier installed on our existing unit both other companies went on to price this component Bowersox sent out their guy Phil swales to give us an estimate after Phil looked at our system and listened to what I thought I wanted. he then explained what no other sales person did. we did not need this extra component added we had potable dehumidifiers going. Phil pointed out that they were causing more problems than they were helping he showed how to better regulate our humidistat and temperature settings very appreciative to his honesty and experienced assessment of our system thank you Bowerson air for having qualified employees to represent you Ted Hunsaker. englewood fl. read more

We had our first maintenance service this morning with Darryl Young, technician from Bowersox Air Conditioning. I absolutely would recommend this service company and highly recommend Darryl our technician who conducted the maintenance and checks on our system. Darryl was very informative and reviewed and explained what he did while at our home. He took care of a developing issue after again reviewing what he found. He offered us recommendations and gave us confidence in the work he performed leaving us with a good sense and confidence level with our system. Integrity is important and I believe that was expressed today. Thank you Darryl and Bowersox David & Susanne read more

Well this review is long overdue but I waited for a few reasons! It has been exactly one year since I had a new a/c installed in my home by Bowersox Air and I am absolutely thrilled with it! My old a/c was 25 years old (8/10 seer when new in 1999 but probably running like a 4/5) and it leaked if it ran too long! I was in a local contest to win a new a/c with another company during the holidays in 2023 and had the lead till the last hour. Let me just say it all worked out for the right reasons and I could not be more pleased! Bowersox Air offered me a great deal with a fantastic 10 year warranty backed by the manufacturer and NOT a 3rd party! I also received a rebate. Do your research before you buy! Not only is buying a new system important but so are the repairs to expect down the road and who will be there for you when it happens! From start to finish they did such a professional job! First, Jon Curtis came to my 1960 home and did an impeccable job choosing the correct system for my home along with Bruce and more importantly for my old duct work. The company I was in the contest with warned me that I could possibly have a problem with my duct work leaking because the air running through the newer systems is much colder. My ducts are fine and insulated but Bowersox made the right choice for my old home so it was not overloaded. I have no crawl space in my attic either but thankfully I have had no leaks! Installation was done so nicely. Loved how they sealed off my attic and closet where air handler is at and it looks so much better! I have lived in this home for 37 years and have never found the air flow to be so nice and clean! I wish I had done it sooner! All I needed was a very basic 16 seer system but let me tell you the best part of all - I have saved almost a $1000 over the past year alone in my electric bills so if you have an old system like I did you really should consider getting a new one with Bowersox. You could save even more than me with a higher end model and the savings could easily pay for itself! There could be tax credits too! One last thing - I have known Bruce and his family for many years. Bruce grew up in Venice and is now raising his own beautiful family here. He is here to stay and gives back to this community in so many generous ways! Bruce has an incredible team that will always be there when you want them. I was also able to get a repair done reasonably priced on a holiday before I purchased the new a/c when the old company I used was not available on weekends and I hated to wait for parts to come in. I appreciated what the old company did for me but it was a very small and when it is 95 degrees out you do not want to wait to have your a/c fixed. Do yourself a favor and choose the right company the first time - I highly recommend Bowersox Air! You can count on them to not only install right with a great price and warranty but they will be there for you when you need them down the road to do a service for you too! I have referred them to my customers and even my own mother and everyone is happy! read more

Jon Curtis, came to our house and we showed him the 18yr old systems we have. Bowersox has been maintaining our house and business ac systems, so we were aware we were on borrowed time with our home ac systems. He checked everything thoroughly and gave us a very accurate estimate. 5 days later 2 crews showed up professionally completed the job very nicely, cleaned up after themselves and left our home cleaner than it was when they arrived. Highly recommend this company for any and all of your ac needs. read more

Bowersox Air Conditioning - They installed the downstairs new air handler horizontal on the ceiling verse vertical on the floor as the old one was. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Venice, Florida

Really appreciate the caliber of service and sales reps we have met !! Kelly and Alex V. were very professional and pleasant. Both came late in the day, but did not rush to get done in a hurry. Our system was analyzed; they both answered our questions and explained what we needed.! They were both positive and helpful! read more

Highly recommend Bowesox. First of all they answer the phone every single time I call and with a friendly greeting. Bowersox has been to our house on two separate occasions, the first time they were out for regular faucet issue and a second time was an emergency main sewer drain clog. Both times have been reasonable responsive and no surprise charges. The plumbers were knowledgeable and made recommendations on how to avoid problems in the future. I plan to use Bowesox for all my plumbing needs. read more

Scott from Bowersox came out to give me a quote to replace my air ducts in the attic. He gave me a fair price so I hired Bowersox because they were local, had good reviews, and fully insured. From beginning to end, the guys that installed were professional and did a great job! They checked my ducts every time they installed a new one to make sure it worked in my home. Ethan was great and both the other two guys. I highly recommend them! read more

A shout out to Bowersox. I planned on replacing our 13 year old system ,before it died. I dealt with Jon Curtis, my salesman from Bowersox, and I was very impressed. His knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. His knowledge was very helpful in choosing the best system for us. The installation was done in one day. My installation techs, were Angel and Arron. They were the BEST!! Everything was done perfectly and the two techs were very competent and polite. Clean up was first class. The entire project was flawless, and I would certainly recommend them anyone needing A/C work. P S I forgot to mention that the price and warranty was unbeatable. Trust me, I shopped!!! read more

I wish I could give this company more than 5 STARS. BOWERSOX A/C is professional, reliable and reasonably priced. Admittedly, I was worried about hiring an AC company, even though my AC is only 3 years old. We are new residents of Florida and immediately realized how important it is to keep your air conditioning unit it tip top shape! I asked our real estate agency for her recommendation. She did not hesitate to recommend this great company. Somert, our assigned technician was amazingly knowledgeable and thorough. He is also professional and courtesy. I had originally decided that we would just take advantage of a single maintenance call, but changed to the annual plan, as I was so impressed with the depth of technical know-how exhibited by Somert. Whether you are like I am - a freak for maintaining things- or you have an emergency relating to your AC unit, I am unequivocally certain that you will be COMPLETELY SATISFIED with this company's work. THANK YOU BOWERSOX AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING! And, THANK YOU, SOMERT! read more

Air unit was undersized. When a tech showed up to talk about it, he said that summers produce a condition that can't get your ac below 75 degrees. If that's the case, why didn't they prescribe a bigger ac unit? Seriously disappointed in Bowersox. Blamed it on me and my windows and doors. Felt like I got ripped off. read more

Honest company with fair pricing. I've used them for a few years and I'm very pleased.

My A/C works great but the outdoor unit is a little noisier than it should be. I called Bowersox and thier tech Mike came out and diagnosed it as needing the compressor replaced. I agreed to the $1,450 repair and he said would be the person to install it when they got the part. So the next day thir office calls and says they will be out to finish the job that day. I said great, and aked if Mike would be the tech, they said yes he will do the job. Then a guy named Chris shows up at my door and promptly informs me that if he installs the compressor it may not fix the concern but I would still have to pay the $1,450. I decided at that point to not have Bowersox do the work. If they can't take responsibility for thier own possible misdiagnosis, I don't need 'em. read more

Great service. Old HVAC system died. Bowersox replaced whole thing within 18 hours. Techs were knowledgeable. Salesman had a quote within 15 min. Couldn't be happier! read more

Excellent company. Chris at Bowersox is the best, he did an excellent job replacing my AC motor, and did an excellent job restoring a roof vent. Highly recommend this company and well worth getting the maintenance contract. read more

Many people have told me Bowersox is the best company around. They're right. The office staff is always efficient and courteous and the service unfailingly expert. Charles, who came today, is the consummate professional--remarkably knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and kind. Thanks to Bowersox, however hot or cold it gets outside the house, the inside temperature stays as blissfully perfect as I want it to. read more

Bowersox is honest, very thorough and professional ...and saved me a ton of money! Thank you Bowersox!

Called company on sept. 4,2022 about ac not working correctly about 1pm.Received a call back from repair tech about 10mins. later saying he will try to get to me ,but busy and they service previous customers first.I'm writing this review on sept. 17,2022 tech still hasn't arrived or call.Maybe you should call another company if you haven't done business with them before. read more

My central air was working fine when they came for a scheduled check up. The guy claimed I needed a TXV replaced at $575 but he couldn't show why because their system was down. He admitted the numbers could be off. At $575 I would prefer to know if the part had to be replaced so I said return when their system is running. A different guy came when it was 50 degrees out which in turn would not give accurate numbers as admitted by the technician. My time is valuable so I advised let's get this right and return when you can show the need. They returned and said it had to be done but didn't really show numbers. I gave in since I'm a snow bird and certainly don't want it breaking down when I'm not here. It took two of them about an hour. The dirt they tracked in wasn't as concerning to me since everything is tile and hard wood but we later realized they left greasy fingerprints on the beige walls around the closet the inside unit is housed as well as the hallway walls and woodwork near it. I scrubbed most of it off but some was too stubborn so I had to paint the one hallway wall. Lucky I had the paint left. To make matters worse when I actually looked at the inside unit they left excess wires sticky out that was there before. The work was unprofessional as was their treatment of my home. I called about my complaint and the receptionist took my number and advised they would call me back. A week later, no call read more

A WONDERFUL company. I was desperate, and Amy couldn't have been more efficient, knowledgeable, and kind in arranging to give me the help I needed. Thank you! I'd never go anyplace else. read more

I'm going out of my way to leave these guys a great review since they just saved me about $10k. My mom had her A/C stop working so her first call was to the folks that put it in 13 years ago - they came out and pulled a hard sell routine convincing her that their existing A/C wasn't repairable. Bowersox came out and had the problem fixed in 45 minutes. Glad to have an HONEST A/C contractor in Venice that I can recommend. read more

We purchased a new York air conditioner and had the entire duck work replaced 6 months ago and they were fantastic. It was hot, but never out of air at night. They cleaned up behind themselves and did what was promised to us. They finished the whole job in less time that they initially told us. TODAY, we had our first 6 month check up. The tec was right on time and very polite. He explained what needed to be done and carried out his job. Very neat and tidy. I have been in Florida 23 years and have dealt with a few different air conditioning companies, but BOWERSOX is the best!!!!!! read more

Worst service out there. They serviced my A/c for years. Then I learned that they never even cleaned the unit. Their tech would show up and play on their phones, then I get a bill. Don't use them , Or you will end up like me. Needing to replace the unit because it was never serviced. read more

Our A/C died on a Saturday of a holiday weekend. While we did start with another company that could not come until Tuesday (the holiday was on Monday), one that we have used other times, this time, we just did not feel comfortable after they came to troubleshoot the issues and gave us choices that just were not acceptable. Thankfully a neighbor told us about Bowersox. Not only did they come the next morning, after calling them, but they also solved our issues, first by loaning us a floor model a/c so we could sleep, which by the way, they offered vs us asking for, and then installing a new unit at a price significantly lower than the other company. Phil was kind enough to put together a team so that they would be able to install the unit first thing this morning (the unit had been out for 7 days so we were thrilled he could do that)...and please be sure to thank the guys that took their day off to come in and help. It was such a pleasure to work with a company that cares and that does a great job. Thank you again!! read more
