The crew of four (Paul Roseen - Lead; Greg Goulding; Joe Calderon; Billy Martinez) were on time for early morning October 1st, with 3 days estimated to do the entire new system. They actually finished and had the AC running at the end of Day 2, and only needed the morning of the 3rd day to complete minor details. Workmanship was the highest quality. Everything was run neat; clean; square; and plumb. (I know; I am a former General Contractor from the State of Florida). Each morning, the crew started by protecting all of our hard wood flooring. At the end of each day, they cleaned up everything, including the work space in the garage. The crew (Paul; Greg; Joe; Billy) were very polite; professional; courteous; and always asked about where we wanted certain items placed before installing. All of the cut - outs (total of 7) in the ceilings were perfect, with no damage to the existing drywall and painting. All lines in the garage ceiling were run tight and neat. The outside condenser unit, pad; tubing; and electrical were installed tight and neat. Everything was per code. Upon completion of the job, we were walked through the entire installation, including how all drains and vents worked; filter changeout; thermostat functions; wifi; etc. Was very impressed with the work platform built in the attic to get to the filter; did not even know that was included in the bid. I highly recommend this company, and in particular, this crew. Paul, Greg, Joe, and Billy are who make Sherlock Heating and Air-Conditioning the company of choice. I would use them on any future jobs. I am letting the owner of Sherlock Heating and Air-Condtioning to reward them accordingly?.new surfboards.

I spoke with some people at Home Depot who were offering to do a furnace/ac evaluation so I signed up. (I had installed an energy efficient furnace in my former home and so was familiar with the process, costs, etc.) The Holbrook salesman, Ron Cornell ("Gator") was a pleasure to deal with. He arrived promptly, answered all of my questions, and discussed several options including brands and the pros and cons of installing AC now or later. (I went with a package installation of both AC and furnace). The price appeared to be reasonable (a little better for the furnace than I'd gotten from a competitor a few years back). I agreed for an installation for two weeks later. I purchased a Goodman 96.3% efficiency natural gas furnace and a Goodman Air Conditioning unit. The installers (Dan W. and Brandon) showed up for the 2 day installation promptly both days. Dan was the experienced installer; Brandon was working under his direction. Both were polite and friendly, answering questions I had about the installation process. They cleaned up after themselves beautifully both days. Small problems with the installation (like mis-threaded piping and thermostat wiring that was not sufficient for the AC) were quickly and efficiently solved. Some new duct work and adjustments to existing ducts were required as part of the installation. Dan did great job of installing the AC, integrating it flawlessly into the furnace. The furnace was working when they tested it, but it's been too warm to give it a thorough testing. Brandon helped on all aspects. I found Holbrook Heating and AC to be an excellent company to work with. Their sales and installation staff were great. I recommend them highly.

Awesome! Doug did a great job and explained everything to me during the process. He was a great installer!
This is a most professional and reliable company. From 3 bids received, we found Sherlock to be the most competitive with the highest quality (2.5 ton / SEER 17); and fastest for delivery and installation. Sales and Estimator (Eric) was punctual for meeting at the house. He walked us...
I am a Realtor. He was prompt but I did not meet him, the listing Realtor did. I liked his manner over the phone. Next time I need a fireplace inspected, I will use him. He seemed to know more about fireplaces than the general inspector.

FAQs for generator install projects in Lake Placid, FL
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power.
Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together.
Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
