While Yelp is no Angie's List, I'd like to boost the service provider category of reviews. Given…read morethat this is Houston, central air conditioning is akin to a Liz Lemon party*. Well, during our "winter", my compressor sprang a leak and spewed its 1994 Freon all over the Earth's ozone. Sorry. Anyway, since I had the luxury of shopping for bids during our winter, I opted to get 4 bids before deciding on a final contractor. Think of it this way: How often do any of us shop for central air/heat? I think we shop for cars more often so I wanted to be careful in such a big decision. Here's the rundown: * Fly Comfort Services: Recommended both outside compressor and inside air handler be replaced for $4,700. Cash discount of 2.5%. No charge for evaluation. Found these guys via a fellow Yelper. They were flakier than a Crisco crust on writing up the bid in a timely manner (not a good impression for all that money they wanted to charge me). * Comfort Star: Recommended both outside compressor and inside air handler be replaced for $4,500. Cash discount of 2.5%. Charged $45 trip charge. Found these guys via Yelp search. The owner (Mr. Khoury) was very patient on discussing details and the technician's visit was very thorough (about 1.5 hours). * AC Repair Houston: Recommended only the outside compressor to be replaced for $1,850. No cash discount. No charge for evaluation. Found them via Yelp search. Mr. Jack Jensen is the salt of the earth; actually mentioned that many of his AC brethren have reputations similar to used car salesmen. * M&L Air Conditioning: Recommended only the outside compressor to be replaced for $1,700. No cash discount. No charge for evaluation. Referred by my Realtor who I've worked with on the buying and the selling sides. Winner: M&L Air Conditioning! Mr. Atkins was friendly, down-to-earth, approachable, and informative. He didn't try to sell me on anything unnecessary and even pointed out the pros, cons, and secondary alternatives of the replacement options. He's so confident in his work that he doubled the usual 1-year labor warranty for free. He provided an arrival time window (10 to noon) but, unlike the evil Comcast, he arrived at 1010 AM for his projected 3-hour installation. He even finished 20 minutes ahead of the installation timetable, despite my periodic questions of "What's that?" I wrote him a personal check for the $1,750 once the Goodman 13 SEER 2-ton compressor, condenser pad, and programmable thermostat were installed and tested. With the blizzard of contractor visits, I've learned a lot about the old and new refrigerant standards, the minimum SEER ratings, air handlers, compressor-condensers, pads, duct work, and fair prices for all of these items. I also got pretty dang good at verifying their licenses at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website, too. I'm almost sure that I could get an AC contractor license easily with the volume that I know now. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with my new A/C system to spend some quality time chilling things down.

My name is Cindy Joseph, I had a warranty with another company who was attempting to charge me…read more$12,000.00 for a complete AC Unit. I shopped around on a Saturday and a contacted 10 companies who ranged from 12,000.00, 8,000.00, 7,600.00 and everything in between. Now, mind you they were all talking the same language giving me the same 10-ton unit and the R 54. I was confused. I finally spoke to Reza of All Electric and AC who assured me that they had the best price, better 10 yr warranty and 2 yrs maintenance at $6,599.00. The job was professionally done, it took about 3 hours, they were clean, the young gentleman swept my floors and stairs. All material outside were picked up and everything runs perfectly and a new thermostat that can be controlled from my phone. When the other companies tell you, well they are cheaper because you won't get the same quality things, that's a lie. Reza match the $12,000.00 price apples for apples. So, I hope you're never in my position but if you are please do your homework so you can feel comfortable then reach out to REZA at All Electric and AC. Thank you Cindy Joseph

I can not say enough good things about Gerardo and his company! We have had constant issues with…read moreour AC due to the way the original company installed it. They tried to force it to lean so it would drain and even left a pump sticking out of a whole in the ceiling. They actually did that!! The unit itself should never have been installed in the first place as it did not fit in the space but we had no say in that. So Gerardo had a job on his hands and he did an amazing job! He corrected the drain issue left by the original company, removed the ridiculous pump, rerouted the drain the way it should have been in the first place and even put a second drain to be doubly sure. Now we have a drain connected to the sink plumbing, the tub plumbing and the overflow. We hired him again when we broke it during a remodel by running the AC while we were sanding drywall. It had to be removed from the ceiling to clean, which was a massive job. We recently had a third issue which he corrected and wasn't even going to charge me. I paid him anyway because it had nothing to do with the previous work he had done. I will also point out that Gerardo returns my text and calls nights and weekends. Twice he did not charge me for the visit. I think his prices are reasonable but I have not compared them. I will say, this guy works his butt off and he won't quit until it's working properly. He's worth every penny!!
