About us

The Certified Mechanical Co., LLC ownership has been servicing the residential and small commercial Air Conditioning needs of Central Florida for 30 years. All work is performed by our own employees. We do not subcontract our work. We are fully certified by the State of Florida to perform all types of Air Conditioning work. We have chosen to limit our work to residential and small commercial. We use "Flat Rate" pricing. This means that you do not pay for an inexperiened tech to learn at your expense. You pay the same for any tech performing the work. Our service techs are paid by the hour and do not get paid commission for parts they replace. They do not benefit financially for changing out your parts. They replace only what is truly broken.

Needed to diagnose and repair A/C system that was not cooling sufficiently, with coils freezing and drains backing up. The Certified tech showed up next day to diagnose and inform us that our coil was leaking. He led me through the entire inspection process and we agreed to proceed with a 6 lb R-22 recharge and sealant/UV dye. We added the service plan and got both systems fully inspected and cleaned. The tech was even thorough enough to point out that our breaker size was wrong for the condenser unit. No extra charge. We will call them for eventual replacement of the leaking system and report back further experience.

Our contractor brought in these morons to do our job 10 years ago and they didn't offer anybody else. 10 years later it's obvious it was a big mistake for me not to insist on 3 bids. And I don't know what kind of deal they had with our contractor but I found out later on that the 35,000 system should have cost us 25-27k max. Then when they got in here their engineer argued hard against us splitting the house the way we wanted even though we wanted it that way due to my family's severe allergies. They eventually did it Then when flaps and actuator valves broke on it they overcharged us every time they came by a 300-400% margin. Then to make things worse, ....when we bought the system they secretly put the warranty in their names (instead of ours) so we'd be forced to go back to them for warranty work on the system they installed. I was told by another A/C guy that putting their own names on the warranty was a scumbag move because WE paid for it. If you use these guys don't be stunned when you feel the sting of having to deal with them.

Looking to move into new house and wanted to know what needs to be done to get AC running. Lady said they will charge just to look at it $96 besides they can only schedule in 7 days from now as they are busy. Not sure they really wanted my business. Not a good company I will refer to anyone.

he was able to come out the next morning and get the hose cleaned out and get the water drain working and restart the ac. please note that the coupon for a 15% discount off "our standard retail pricing to angies list members" doesn't include their yearly service plan. I was surprised by this since i seem to remember that in the past, when we signed up, it had been discounted as the coupon suggests. Please look into this and put this restriction on the coupon. S.

Response from Certified AC Service
Thank you for your review regarding our recent service. Sorry for any confusion regarding our discounts. We do not combine discount offers. The only items not included in our Angie's List discount are items that have a separate discount which is greater than 15%. For example, our Platinum Plan (annual maintenance) has a Retail Price of $198.00 and is currently being sold for $158.00. This is an approximate 20% discount. At various times during the year, we offer other items that will have a discount greater than 15%. Our discount procedure is not meant to generate confusion and I am sorry that it did. We just want to be sure that Angie's List members receive the best pricing we have available. And never receive less than 15% discount.

I have had no issues at all. They did a good installation and we have only had to call them one time since that. We will call them for the replacement of a separate system in the future. They gave us a clear time for the installation and then they came next day for the service most recently as we called late. The guy that did the installation even recommended the less expensive option as I asked him and I felt that was very honest.
Description of Work: They most recently did warranty work as we have a 10 year warranty on the heating and air conditioning system that they installed.

tThey came out with plenty of workers for the job, 2 huge trucks, and were very neat in cleaning up and professional. Did all the work that they were supposed to in 2 days for a big job. After they were done showed me how to use the new thermostat, and after they were finished my master bedroom was not cooling as good as i expected it too, they came back out and put in an additional vent, with ductwork for a good price. Overall a really good experience. Not the cheapest price, but not the most expensive price.
Description of Work: They came out fast and gave me a free estimate of putting in a brand new a/c unit, furnace, thermostat, new return, and 4 new vents into master bedroom and florida room that did not have any vents into it. Rich was very nice and professional. Did not pressure me into buying the more expensive units.

The office call was professional, scheduled appointment the first day I was available. They followed up with scheduled appointment and the communication with the technicians was perfect. The two techs were pleasant and professional. They explained the process and got right to work. They were respectful of my home and cleaned up afterwards. The price was definitely fair for the quality I received. The replacement items were a major improvement over what I had existing. The air flow is equal in all rooms and I can certainly notice an improvement in consistent temperature throughout. I highly recommend upgrading duct work as I am anticipating a lower energy bill. A+ overall. No need to shop around. I got several quotes and this was the best with the complete job in mind. Many companies only replace the duct tubes, but it is best to replace the drops too. Great job!
Description of Work: I had the duct work replaced in my 1000SF 3rd story condo. They replaced the ducts, drop ins and grills.

Replacing an entire A/C system is not fun nor inexpensive. Certified A/C made it as pleasant as possible. The salesman and technicians were topnotch! Everyone we dealt with was professional, very knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and always arrived on time. The airhandler is on the second floor and the old unit was removed and new one installed with no mess or damage. They used drop clothes and vacuumed when job was completed. We talked with 5 companies and absolutely made the right choice! We highly recommend them!

Replace Air handler and outside unit. Kept me informed and provided great customer service.
Description of Work: I had a rental proplert that was in dire need of a new AC. I called and they were able to come over very quickly. He gave me the best price for the new A/C and it beat all comers. Since I do not live in the Area, Ron was readily available when I had questions. He set up the inspection and when I found a problem he fixed it right away. Very informative and helpful. Would diffenantly recommend to family and friends.

Response from Certified AC Service
Member, as the owner of Certified AC Service I am disappointed to hear that we did not get to handle your system replacement. I hope everything went well. I have actually been in business since 1979. In early 2004, a partner and I reorganized and formed 2 separate companies. Actually we divided the air conditioning and plumbing divisions of the business. I am now the owner of the air conditioning business. The plumbing business went to my partner. If you have any future needs for air conditioning work, please give us a chance. I believe you will be happy with our customer focus and the 30 plus years of business experience that we offer.

Response from Certified AC Service
Member, I am the owner of Certified AC Service and I take our attempted 100% customer satisfaction very personal. I am sorry to hear that your experience was unsatisfactory. I have reviewed our company history to obtain all information about your account. I welcome your calling the office to speak with me if this info is not correct. I found no previous info for you. With your first contact, you indicated that you wanted a price to replace an AC compressor that had been diagnosed, as bad, by another company. You were told that we would get back to you with a price. Our response to you was delayed because of a delay in making contact with our Service Manager. When we called back, to give you a price, you stated that you had already gotten someone else to do the work. My company is not setup to provide phone quotes. There are to many variables to allow accurate pricing. We have found the majority of any supplied diagnosis to be incorrect. We are setup to provide our own diagnosis, complete with a quote to repair the system as needed. By operating in this manner, we have been able to save our customers money by repairing the actual problem, not by treating symptoms. Again, if you would like, please call me at the office to discuss further.

Their quote included a ten year warranty and the vent work as well. My interaction with them was good. The customer service was good and the workers were really nice. The work was done properly. It?s great work because they had the workers do it then someone checked it. Something was done wrong, but it was corrected right away. The price was very competitive. I would use them again in the future.

Called in the morning, Steve arrived right after lunch to diagnose the problem - bad bearings in the condenser motor. He ordered a replacement motor and arranged to return with it the next day. A few minutes after he left, he called back saying the company already had a motor they wouldn't need right away asked if he could just come back and install. Of course, I said yes and he was done two hours later. The price seemed high, but I really don't have any experience to compare it to. It was $76 for diagnosis and the motor and installation on top of that.

The quote and follow up were Superb! Hats off to the gentlemen at Certified!
Description of Work: Install went well. Only problem was a part they needed to remote control the outside unit with the inside unit. (Otherwise they would have needed to run new wiring.) That part did not come in until 3 days later, scheduled time and they came out to install. VERY good service and VERY knowledgeable.. Helped explain some things to me. Now, I have some knowledge about HVAC and have researched for 5 months before contacting 5 vendors for quotes. Certified was NOT the lowest, but the best for the amount of work and information provided.

The crew showed up on time, laid down drop cloths. Took out old units. They had to adjust the height on the platform for the air handler and redo duct work to the air handler. Installed a thermostat, and started the unit up. They cleaned up before leaving and actually left the install looking better than when they started. It took longer than they expected because of some complications, but they didn't leave until it was completed and I paid just what was originally estimated. After the installation, they had to come back because of not properly reconnecting a water pipe they had to move. I found everyone friendly, and courteous, and willing to answer questions during the job. They were very responsive to my needs and made adjustments to the installation in response to my desires, no questions asked.

The sales rep showed up, looked at the unit and told us they these units aren't made any more and that we should have the old compressor repaired. Since there are 127 units in our condo, and I am the association board member who oversaw the rebuilding of the system, I know the salesperson had no idea what he was talking about. We preformed a little online research and discovered at least a dozen manufacturers of geothermal pumps. Our old unit was replaced by a Carrier unit--a very popular company. Of course another company got the job.
Description of Work: We live in a condo that has a large deep-well pump and a thermal loop for more efficient HVAC in summer and winter. It is a system that dates back to 1964, but we have had it completely overhauled. Consequently, we needed a special in-condo unit called a geothermal heat pump. We requested a sales rep from Certified.
