Carlos did the work 3 years ago. Carlos never registered the unit with the manufacturer and now, after spending $4500 on a new AC unit I have no warranty. Carlos is very belligerent and rude when this is his fault. I have received no support and only loud, rude, foul language from Carlos. Carlos was recommended to me by a friend and from the get go he was not a pleasant person to deal with but I was told he was a professional and this is just his personality so I went with it. Now, I am left hanging with a non functional 3 year old AC unit that had some competent person done his job, I would have a warranty. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN!

Perfect! I called the office - Denise, the Office Manager, was friendly and understood the need for urgency. She called back within 10 minutes and advised that Carlos would be over within an hour. And he was! Carlos always shows up with a smile and goes right to work. It turned out that while I was out shopping there was a power surge during the storm. Carlos fixed the breaker and said he was going to replace it with a stronger one so that this would not happen again. He's the best!

Stay away from this company. Carlos was hired to check my AC which was not cooling. He supposedly added Frion to it, but he never even opened the equipment to see what was wrong. He charged $350 dollars cash after 5 minutes, claiming he would send the receipt via email, he didn't even stay to see if it was actually starting to cool down. i called him in the afternoon that same day, saying that the AC was in the same condition that when he came, and he stated that i had to wait 24 hours for it to cool down, which is a false statement since the equipment should have started to cool down little by little. We called him on Sunday and he came with a bad attitude, always saying that our AC was out of warranty (he insisted on that since the first day) He left saying he d try to get the parts from the warranty and he never showed up again. It was a completely rip off. Please stay away.
Response from Air Rescue Cooling and Heating Inc

"Your father told us it was a tiny leak because he had it filled previously. Upon receiving that information we added freon and a leak sealer. The temperature in the house was close to 85 degrees, and you were told it would take 24 hours to remove all the heat since the unit was down for several days. Then we received a second call that the unit was not cooling, Carlos went back again and checked the unit and it was out of freon again. He checked the condensation line and found oily residue coming from the line, upon that find he told the owner it was the evaporator coil leaking and it wasn't a tiny hole as I was told. Any experienced technician does not need to remove the door when oil is already being found coming out of the condensation line. The unit is registered in your name and the house is registered in your fathers name. Anytime we go to replace a Rheem part at Gemaire in Pompano Beach the registration must match the county records. Please keep in mind this was a Sunday call which is normally a $200.00 emergency service call. I'm sorry you felt I had a bad attitude, I was in the kitchen with your mother and father and were laughing and joking. I even accidentally took his phone and brought right back and we laughed about it. Good luck to you."

Mr. Garcia is a consummate professional. The air conditioner that he installed in my home is the finest unit in the 32 years of me living in this home. The workmanship is first rate it is truly a work of art. From the signing of the contract to the pulling of permits Mr. Garcia delivers what he contracts at the price he quotes and I would not hesitate to use Air Rescue again. It’s a pleasure to work with people that care.

On 3/21 I wrote a review and gave a rating of “f”. As I stated Carlos from Air Rescue Had been out to my house 10 times and was due for the 11th the very next day. The system that had been installed was giving us problems from inception it was a major major headache. I’m now changing my rating to an overall “a”. Only 11th trip Carlos got on the phone with the Trane manufacture’s representative put me on the phone as well and Carlos was adamant the Trane send a rep out to the house. That actually happened within an hour. I’m pleased to say that we are now one week post repair and this AC is working like the way I had hoped it would 11 months ago. If you want someone who stands behind their work and I mean really stands behind their work Carlos and Air Rescue is the company for you to go with. He stuck with it till it was right, at no extra cost to me.

Fixed it but problem arose again within a few days. In discussing the problem, Carlos was so unprofessional and aggressive that we virtually hung up on one another.
Response from Air Rescue Cooling and Heating Inc

"Thank you for your time in reviewing our company. In looking back in our notes, you wanted service right then and there and we were not available until a later time as we had customers with scheduled appointments. Also, once we told you what the cost would be, you were not happy and wanted to negotiate a different price which we do not do. You were not happy with that response and we could not come to a mutual agreement after which time you stated that we don't see eye to eye and you will take your business elsewhere. I am sorry that we could not come to cohesive agreement."

I was very grateful to Carlos for coming out to my home the day after Hurricane Irma hit. My air conditioner started leaking during the hurricane on Sunday. Carlos came out on Monday to stop the leak by clearing a clogged line. He showed me that he rust on the holding pan and said that the unit might still leak because of the rust issue. (He was right as the unit started leaking the next day). The cost for the service call was $125. As the air handler was 24 years old, Carlos recommended replacing the unit. Carlos quoted me a price of $3000 for a new Rheem 2.5 ton unit. I agreed to the price and scheduled an appointment for Friday for the new unit. I received a call from Air Rescue on Tuesday asking if we could move up the appointment to Thursday at 10 am. I agreed and was grateful as my unit was leaking again. Carlos and 2 other workers (Jean and Ryan) showed up on time and worked for 4 hours to remove the old AC and replace it with the new unit (air handler and compressor). That night, the air handler unit made a lot of noise. It had a metallic sound to it. I called Air Rescue the next morning (Friday) and spoke with Carlos about the issue. Carlos came over within the hour to check out the problem. Carlos heard the loudness of the unit and took apart the section of the air handler where the motor was housed. When he tried it adjust it, a blue spark and then smoke came out of the motor. The motor then quit working. He left my house to go obtain the parts needed to repair the unit. Around noon that same day, Carlos, Jean and Ryan returned to my home and replaced the motor on the air handler. It took about 2 hours to replace the part. The air conditioner now works great and is much quieter. I am very grateful for the time and effort spent on this job. Carlos and his staff were very professional and went the extra mile to fix the problem with the new unit.

They worked carefully, quickly and efficiently and answered any questions I had about the instillation or maintenance of the units. Their communications between their home office that their workers on the road made it easy to pinpoint appointment times so there were no misconceptions or long unexpected waits.

As it turned out, because of the original shoddy installation of the unit by a "fly by night" company 5 years earlier, Carlos could not (we subsequently found out) remove the old coil and install the new coil without breaking the guides. For several day after the new coil installation we had profound ceiling leaks and the condensation that should have been going to a sump pump was spilling over into the pan. Carlos returned several times and tried to convince up that the installation was fine but that the unit should be brought down from the attic and set vertically in he garage. Since the unit was working fine in the attic before Carlos replaced the coil, we decided to get a second opinion. That's when we learned that his imperfect installation of the coil did not permit the unit to be completely shut and therefore the constant flooding. We then hired the new contractor to properly hang a new air handler to code and have had no problems since.
Response from Air Rescue Cooling and Heating Inc

"Thank you for taking the time to review our performance as we have a high standard of quality that we adhere to. I can understand why your problem is now resolved, you had the old rusted out air handler removed and had a new one installed. I informed you that the unit was in bad shape, rusted and the insulation inside the unit was saturated and deteriorated due to improper installation. My recommendation was to do the same thing but to include relocating the air handler into the garage to prevent future ceiling leaks. As far as the glides are concerned, they were in perfect condition and made out of very hard plastic. In the event that they were broken, the pan would also have been broken. Again my recommendation was to not only move the air handler out of the attic but also get the proper permit and inspections which only a city official can determine. We appreciate your critique of our company, good luck to you."

I decided to switch AC companies after 10 years. I was no longer happy with the service and quality of my old AC company and after another overflow problem, enough was enough. Carlos was amazing and fixed the problem in one day.

This work was done last year but I must not have posted my review properly. Carlos did an excellent job removing the broken a/c and replacing it with the newer smaller sized unit. We were very happy with the cost, quality, expertise and professionalism of Carlos' work.

Carlos and crew arrived on time, installed everything during a break in a week-long torrential downpour. Had us operational in a couple of hours & left the job site clean. Can't ask for more. Given the weather -- service above and beyond expectations. Recommend highly.

It was a WONDERFUL experience. I checked with 4 other companies before I hired Air Rescue. Carlos and his Wife were the most comfortable to deal with. Even though they were a bit more expensive, I went with them because they offered the BEST 2 year warranty and they were so easy to deal with. The whole family got involved. they even set up the Permit Inspection and followed up to make sure everything was done.
