When my A/C failed at 2AM on a Sunday, they were the only company able to come out immediately (I called at least 5 others). The technician arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem efficiently (faulty fan motor on my Carrier unit), and completed the repair within a couple hours, including a trip to source the part from their vendor. The Concerning The final cost was $2,303.60 for what I've since learned should typically cost $700-$1,000 (that is including emergency service fees). While I understand emergency calls command premium pricing, this felt excessive. Additionally, the quoted price increased from $2,000 to $2,303.60 when it was time to pay without clear explanation of the additional charges. My Takeaway Apex delivers on availability and technical competence when you're in a crisis. However, I'd strongly recommend getting multiple quotes if time permits, as their emergency pricing appears significantly above market rate. The convenience of immediate service came at a steep premium that I wasn't prepared for. Would I use them again? Only in a true emergency where no other options exist, and I'd request detailed pricing breakdowns upfront. For future customers: Get clear, written estimates before work begins, and ask about all potential additional fees.

They took the time to thoroughly clean the condenser and ran multiple tests on the attic unit to make sure everything was operating as it should.

I'm very happy with this company and would highly recommend them.

Edit: Frank's excellent reply below-- taking full responsibility-- has me reconsidering. Added two stars. Original review: Not a very professional company. Frank responded to my initial Yelp request, and he came out to inspect my raccoon-damaged ducts and promised a quote. A week later, after four promises from Frank to send me a quote "shortly", no quote. Why do an onsite inspection and promise a quote if you don't intend to accept the job? My AC is out in Texas in August, and I don't appreciate being so deceptively strung along. Even without AC I'm on a budget, so I was hoping Frank's quote would be competitive and I believed every promise and kept adding another un-air-conditioned day in expectation of a price quote.

Unfortunately, we have had a lot of difficulties with our Samsung washer and dryer and have had to have both repaired, several times, over the past 4-5 years. A few months ago, Greentek repaired our dryer, and most recently, they came out to assess a persistent annoying problem we've had with our washer. Greentek advised us the cost to repair the washer was higher than what we wanted to pay. (The amount of the repair and the amount we put into repairing it in the past was going to exceed the cost of a new washer.) So, we declined to have Greentek repair the washer and decided to buy a new washer. (Not a Samsung!) Both experiences were positive and we have no complaints with Greentek. They are prompt, professional, offer reasonable prices and do everything as agreed. Call them.

From my initial interaction with the office representatives (Taylor, Dave Sr., and Dave Jr.) to the technicians who came out to my home (Nick, Jackie, and John Paul), the level of professionalism and care was outstanding.

Just as importantly, they took the time to clearly explain areas that were not a concern and documented a thorough review outlining why those aspects of the home were in good condition, information that will be extremely valuable for future home inspections or potential buyers. Each team member was knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough in addressing my concerns, making what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable and well-handled. When people speak of organizations that deliver top-tier service, this is exactly the kind of company they mean. AirCo has earned my trust and will be my first call for any future needs.

I contacted Quick cooling for a $150 system checkup. No symptoms, but we were selling the house and…read morethe checkup was requested by the buyer. They arrived on a cool day and checked the heating but couldn't do the cooling because of the low outside temperature. I asked them to write up what they could & issue the report. They convinced me to wait a week for the cooling check & would do it for the same price. I was amazed and impressed that an HVAC company would make two trips for $150 but agreed. They returned on a warmer day and said the system needed a new capacitor and 2 pounds of coolant. The coolant was a big surprise to me. Closing date for the house sale was looming and I either had to pay the high price or begin an emergency call with another company. I opted to pay for the coolant. The tech went to retrieve a canister from the van. I went inside the house. But because of my unease I went to the outside unit about 3 minutes later. He startled when he saw me. The canister was not connected. He nervously claimed to have completed the refrigerant addition, and offered a $50 discount. I don't believe any coolant was added, based on the length of time required by other HVAC techs I've seen do that operation over past decades. Trapped, I played along and paid over $500.

The issue was a very complex one that took lots of visits and each time they impressed us. I would gladly use them again if we have a need. Please vote for my review if you find it helpful.

Kevin, a manager at this awful company, hung up on me after he told me there's nothing they will do to help clean up this environmental disaster. My feet are bleeding from stepping on glass fibers when I walk through my house! They made our house uninhabitable and DO NOT CARE. Let me say that again: my pets need vet attention, the humans need urgent care attention, and we cannot return to our home, all thanks to A-US A/C. These people are negligent and DO NOT CARE. They also had a child working in my house, on my a/c, with the tech. A child should not be allowed to work on air conditioning units. They carried old fiberglass through my house and left it on my front porch. It's an absolute nightmare and I'm worried my pets are going to die from ingesting glass.

Erick was very methodical & quick, yet meticulous (& didn't rush or cut corners after losing an hour to pick up correct unit) and payed attention to the details and cleaned everything up afterwards.

Sorry for the long review...but please read on to hear my horror story with this sorry excuse of a company. I don't normally write reviews (good or bad), but my poor experience with this company cannot go unheard. I feel obligated to warn others of their frankly criminal business practices. I originally called them out to take a look at my old HVAC that was no longer producing cold air. They identified the Freon was low and filled it back up. Worked well for a bit, but then got low again...indicating their was a leak in the system. The unit was so old, we decided to replace the unit instead of fixing it. The new unit was installed, but not without issue. I chose what they described as their go-to brand - American Standard. Apparently their technicians do not know how to install their go-to brand, because it took several days and several different technicians to get the install completed. A year later, the unit began tripping the breaker any time it went to the 2nd stage. Took them 3 days to come out (when approaching triple digit temperatures), charged $150 service fee and $450 in parts and labor to add a capacitor to the setup (a $50 part and about 10 minutes of labor). Did not fix the problem. Tech came out again, and said it seemed to be an issue with the breaker and that I needed to call an electrician to diagnose and solve the problem. Ended up paying $300 for an electrician to come out. When he took a look at the install, he was flabbergasted. He could not believe what he was seeing! He identified the unit was installed on an aluminum electrical line, that was severely undersized for the unit installed. He said no respectable company would EVER do this kind of shotty work. He said replacing the electrical line would likely cost a couple thousand dollars, since it was on the other side of the house. When I called Smart Air to let them know of the situation, the dispatcher was very dismissive. She said she would have their lead install tech follow up with me, but of course I never heard anything back... That is when they went dark despite several additional attempts on my part, and broke communication with me entirely. I ended up having to pay an electrician to run the new line on my own dollar - several thousand dollars - and now I'm finally back up and running.
