William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed.

Advanced Environment Solutions, Inc., is dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality and craftsmanship. We are here to build relationships with our customers and communities and to provide our employees with a great place to work. Advanced Environment Solutions, Inc., is a leader in providing our customers with the highest quality products and craftsmanship in an honest, efficient, and professional way. Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations.
"From the moment I received a call from Tammy at Advanced Environment Solutions Inc. (AES), I knew I was dealing with a company that stands out from the rest. We had been shopping around for HVAC replacement quotes, and to our surprise, AES offered an over-the-phone estimate that was a staggering $7,000 less than any other quote we had received. This wasn't just a promise; it was a reality that they delivered on with professionalism and integrity. The process was seamless. After a quick confirmation visit by their technician to verify our unit size, everything was set in motion. On the day of installation, despite the sweltering heat, AES's teams worked with remarkable efficiency. One team expertly removed our old unit, and almost immediately, another arrived with the new one. The entire replacement was completed in a single day, leaving us both amazed and immensely grateful. The staff at AES were not only professional but also incredibly courteous and knowledgeable. They explained each step of the process, ensuring we understood everything. The quality of the new HVAC unit they installed surpasses any expectations we had, offering superior performance and energy efficiency. What's most puzzling and impressive is how AES manages to undercut competitors by such a significant margin while providing top-notch service and quality. This is a testament to their business model, which prioritizes customer satisfaction and ethical pricing. We highly recommend Advanced Environment Solutions Inc. to anyone in need of HVAC services. Their commitment to excellence, combined with unbeatable pricing, makes them the go-to choice. Contact AES, and like us, you'll discover why they are simply awesome!"

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
