About a year ago purchased new ac/air handler from AMI Put handler in a position that I now have to remove the door to check the air filter. Purchase price was factor in purchase. However, since most all the parts are not covered by warranty and those covered cost hundreds of dollars labor or service charge, the cost of the ac has increased the cost tremendously. Service cost and labor are unbelieveable. My prev ious ac/handler lasted 15 years, with no annual clean up or tune, before I had to have it serviced. I recently sold the home and although the warrenty was sold to me as "transferable", they will transfer the warrenty BUT THE CUT THE LENGTH OF IT IN HALF, FROM 10 YEARS TO 5 YEARS TO THE NEW OWNER? A very shady operation in my opinion. A new twist on the old "bait and switch" con game.
Description of Work: replaced switch to shut off ac if water overflowed the pan inside air handler. Ac about 1 year old. switch not under warrenty? replaced something in compressor out side unit. Part under warrenty but 200.00 labor cost?

Response from AMI Air Conditioning
#1 This unit was installed on 8-6-2012 it came with a manufactures 5 year parts warranty that becomes a ten year parts warranty if registered online within 30 days of install (we register it for the customer so that they do not forget to do so and then later blame us). The ten year warranty is for the original homeowner only. AMI will also warranty labor for the first year. Never was it even discussed with us if the warranty were transferable or not. If the customer had read the warranty they would have seen that it is not. #2 On 8-12-14 we called and returned to investigate a water leak and found the drain clogged and that the safety cut off switch had failed. This switch is an ad on device required by local building code and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. This is because it is not part of the unit. We replaced this switch at a reduced price for this customer in an effort to go the extra mile. That part also would be warranted by us for one year. But this happened two years later. #3 On 9-4-14 we were again called out because the unit was not cooling properly. At that time we found a bad capacitor in the outdoor unit. We replaced this part again at a reduced price to try and go the extra mile. To replace the part we must go to the original call then go and get the proper warranty part then go back and install it. This all takes time and costs money. #4 We were never advised of a problem with the filter or we would have addressed that issue. It is likely that that is the only way the unit would fit in its location. We have worked very hard at being a company that can be trusted. If you read our reviews you can decide if you agree or not. We do not manufacture A/C units and have no control over if a part fails or not. For this customer to call us shady operators and bait and switchers is uncalled for and just plain wrong.

From the estimate to the scheduling to the installation they are a joy to work with. Everything went smoothly. The techs were extremely pleasant and never looked at the clock they worked until the job was finished. They even did all the paperwork for the rebates from FPL. Would noi hesitate to use them again or recommend them.

They weren't able to check the outside unit at this time, but they are coming back on friday to check everything else. There were some torrential rains preventing any outside maintenance. I appreciated that he even waited about 20 minutes to see if the rain would let up. He was able to inspect everything inside the house. I was very impressed with the service that I received.

Corey, the technician was great. Phoned when was on the way here and arrived right on time. Had to make two trips, as while he was here the first time, it started storming with heavy rain. He had time to diagnose the problem the first trip, then made appointment to come back a few days later to add the refrigerant and finish the job. Again, arrived right on time and the company did not even charge me for the second service call. Corey was professional and explained everything going on in detail. Also, the office staff upon calling for an appointment was friendly and helpful. I am very pleased and happy that I called A.M.I. Air Conditioning. It was a pleasure doing business with them and refreshing to find a company that seems to be honest and caring. Will call them again when need anything else.
Description of Work: System was running all the time to keep the house cool. Technician did a diagnostic check and found the system was low on refrigerant. Discovered where the leak appeared to be and corrected it and added refrigerant to the system. The pressure still was fluctuating in the system, so upon inspecting the air handler, he found a part that had been originally improperly mounted. He remounted and insulated it. Now the system seems to be working perfectly. The system cools the house down quickly and turns itself off instead of almost constantly running.

They were a bit swamped when I called to schedule an appointment. They were however able to get someone out to me the very next day. Adam (technician) arrived on time. Very professional, very friendly. Diagnosed and determined it was an issue with the motor module, not the motor itself (which a technician from another company diagnosed incorrectly). Initially said they "might" be able to come back with the part tomorrow, but turned out they had a full booking the next day. Rescheduled for Friday, and asked that they come earlier than scheduled, which they were able to do. Adam came for the followup and was in and out within 20 minutes. Quick, professional, and the price was right. Adam is a rock star, and I would use this company again just based on my experience with Adam.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and replaced Blower Fan module for central air unit.

I made the purchase, called to schedule, and the technician, Steve, was on the phone about an 1.5 hour later saying he was on his way. He got directly to the problem, and explained to me what was going on. Something about a flux-capacitor ... I dunno ... I'm not back to the future, but I AM chillin' in my living room, now! ;) Great experience!

Appointment was made for the following week. AMI was very busy and the system was cooling the house so it was not an emergency. The morning of the scheduled appointment I received a call to see if the technician could come earlier due to a cancellation. I agreed and the technician arrived shortly after. He proceeded to inspect the system and run some tests but I have a system that is very technical and the service person needed information about settings specific for this system. The information was not available to him but this was a very unusual situation that had nothing to do with the technician or AMI. The technician spent time investigating the problem and tried to resolve it but unfortunately could not solve the problem. AMI did what they could to assist the customer and ended up not charging for the service call as a courtesy. If I had a different system I would definitely call AMI to provide service. Professional courtesy to the max and a pleasant experience from start to finish. Rarely found these days. Thank you AMI!

I called around lunch time to make a service call & was told that they weren't sure if they were going to be able to get to me that same day as it was a pretty booked up Monday, but that they would try. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call later that afternoon saying they were only 20 min away from house & would be there shortly. We had called because after replacing the batteries in our thermostat, our thermostat no longer triggered our A/C unit to turn on. It took him about an hour to diagnose the source of the problem (a wire would occasionally touch a copper pipe within the the unit & short itself out when running) and repair it. He then discovered that this had fried our thermostat & that it needed to be replaced. However, he didn't have any programmable thermostats with him, and the non-programmable thermostat he did have on hand was going to cost me about $100 (including the installation). I did a quick search on Home Depot's website only to discover that programmable thermostat's are only like $30 each, and decided to go buy a new thermostat & install it myself. He walked me through the entire process & made notes of which color wires to attach to which letter, which settings to watch out for when programming the thermostat so that I programmed it correctly for our system, and how to turn on the master switch outside. Overall, the technician was at my home for about 3 hours, but I was easily able to install the new thermostat myself using the notes he gave me & now our house is much cooler than before it had ever broken. I would definitely use them again, but I would not recommend having them install a new thermostat of theirs because the upcharge on the non-programmable thermostat was ludicrous.
Description of Work: Fixed air conditioner unit that was shorting out & failing to turn on. The shorting within the unit fried our thermostat, so he showed me how to change it myself once I purchased a new programmable unit.

Reached out to AMI for service and was astonished that Toni took the time to walk me through a few self service fixes to ensure that the tech wouldn't come out to house and find the thermostat had dead batteries. This extra step wowed me, to think a provider who didn't want to make a quick buck on you was very refreshing. Corey arrived within the service window timeframe. He was courteous quick and professional. Work was done to my satisfaction and I would not hesitate in using AMI again or recommending to my friends.

Air conditioning unit was in much need to service. Was able to locate provider via AL. They showed up on the appointment date; however, didn't come close to the time window. Needless to say the work was provided and I'm quite pleased with the results. If you schedule an appointment, get a morning/afternoon/evening time frame. They gave me a half hour window and didn't come close. Even though I'm busting balls about the timeliness I will use them again if/when needed.
