"I hired this company to put in a generator after seeing their commercials on TV, and seeing all the high reviews online. I can say that my experience has been horrible. First off, the permitting process took months, just to get the approval to install the generator. After the install, city permitting workers came out countless times sighting issues that needed to be resolved that seemingly didn’t get resolved because they’d get flagged again for the same issues. The biggest being they installed the generator too close to the natural gas line, which caused them to move the generator over about 18 inches and needing to install a giant junction box on the outside wall of my house. Not a great look. During the install and clearing permits, it’s almost impossible to get ahold of anyone to get a status update. I’d call and leave messages, email – repeatedly – before I’d finally get someone to reply. Fast forward a year, I discovered they installed one of the junction boxes incorrectly to my pool heater, causing it to fill up with water… so another repair. Now after the first year they hit you with a $600 per year contract to continue to monitor the generator for issues. Even after I signed it, I still get an email asking me to sign up every couple of weeks.. I’ve responded a dozen times telling them I’ve signed up for the monitoring program and to stop emailing me. Now the icing on the cake. I’m paying $600 a year for them to 'monitor' for problems. Today we lost power and the generator didn’t turn on. Looked at my mobile app, and it shows the cell signal used to monitor the generator isn’t working. I open the generator and the control panel that runs the entire system is blank and not working. Obviously a major problem… and isn’t that why I’m paying $600 a year for Reliable to monitor for problems and fix them before they cause an issue? This monitoring program is a scam. If they were actually monitoring the system they would've seen that my generator didn't exercise on Monday as scheduled, and that I've been offline over a week! Calling to ask that question just got me on the line with some low level customer service person, who can’t do anything but set an appointment a week from now. If you’re going to install a generator, look elsewhere."

A/C Repair, installation and service for residential and commercial customers. 24/7 Emergency Service. NATE Certified technicians. Family owned & operated for over 37 years in Southwest Florida. We service and install many leading brands of AC equipment including Carrier, Lennox, Bryant, Goodman, and more. Ask us about duct cleaning, repair and replacement, indoor air quality solutions, ductless mini split Mitsubishi systems and more. Consistent A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau, 5-Star Rated on Facebook, Google and other review sites.

"WAY OVERCHARGED! They quickly responded, came to our house, and repaired the AC. It was a Saturday so we were charged extra ($137) for the service call. While I know that is standard practice, and believe that is a screwing since it is just another work day, that is not my complaint as they were up front about that charge. HOWEVER, I reviewed my bill after the technician left and realized they charged $153.13 for the part (a capacitor). I looked up the part on Amazon and for the exact same part (same brand and model #), Amazon charged $9 with free shipping. I understand they need to make money on the part, BUT a markup from $9 to $153 is robbery. Astonished, I texted the technician who called me and quickly became argumentative. I said that I understood and was willing to pay the higher service call fee and understand that they also need to make money on the part but was astonished at the 15X markup. He justified the exceedingly high price of the part by saying: "I also charge overtime prices on the part" and "That's how all other AC guys would charge you" and "Welcome to AC 2023". Again, while I understand they need to make a living, and was willing to pay a higher Saturday charge, blatantly being ripped off for the part cost and such poor justifications were shocking, unnecessary, and worse than poor business. As it is not my practice to write poor reviews, as we are all human and make errors, I sent a message to the company stating my complaint. They did not even bother to respond. So in this case, it seemed proper to warn others."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Most units are designed only to cool the house down to 20 degrees less than the temperature outside. This means that if it’s 99 degrees Fahrenheit out and you’re trying to cool your home down to 65 degrees, you’ll notice your AC is struggling. 

Lower the blinds on all your windows, turn on your ceiling fans, and keep the thermostat at a consistent temperature to help your AC do its job. Investing in an HVAC maintenance plan also helps because pros will come out to inspect and tune up your unit regularly, keeping it in optimal working condition.

The time it takes for an air conditioner to dry fully after cleaning depends on the unit's size and humidity levels. Most units will dry within two to four hours after cleaning, but check the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times. Make sure to leave the unit off until it's completely dry.

The average life span of an HVAC system is 15 to 20 years. Even if your old air conditioner is still functional, it isn't as energy-efficient as a newer system (especially one with an Energy Star designation). Older HVAC systems aren't as efficient, and the 10-year mark is when you should start making full system replacement plans. Twenty years in, that plan should be well underway rather than waiting for the unit to die.

HVAC maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your unit. Without proper care, your HVAC unit can break down frequently. In addition, a system that is dirty and not cleaned correctly will not heat or cool as efficiently and will increase your energy bills due to the increase in energy consumption. Additionally, you will probably have to replace your unit sooner than you would if it were properly maintained, which will cost you more money. 

Some of the signs of HVAC issues include rising energy bills, rooms not cooling or heating properly, loud noises when in operation, and signs of condensation. To illustrate, if you’re wondering how to stop condensation on air vents, you’ll need to have your HVAC inspected.
