Holmes Cooling & Heating Inc

Bart was very responsive, was able yo come out next day to repair my a/c, and solved the problem in 1 visit. It turned out to be a more complicated issue than either of us expected, but he stayed until the job was finished. He also showed me how to do preventative maintenance and as a new 1st time home owner, I really appreciate that.

Bart is a genuine nice guy who is honest, hard working, and very knowledgeable about anything and everything related to heating and cooling a home. He personally completed the work quickly and efficiently. He even followed up with us (several times) the day after the repairs to ensure everything was working well. I highly recommend Holmes Heating and Cooling to friends and family as well as anyone who wants honest information about their heating or cooling system and an excellent fix at a good price.

Bart is by far the best HVAC contractor I have worked with…he’s honest, reliable, punctual and is very experienced in his field of expertise. I would recommend him to my friends & family for sure.

Bart, sure knows AC! He was actually an old neighbor of mine and he installed all of the units in this neighborhood 20 some years ago. So, naturally, I went to him for help when I needed a new AC installed. This was a tricky install because the codes were different back then, with the lines being different sizes nowadays. He was able to give me the product I needed, properly installed and running smoothly! I would refer him to anyone who asked. He really knows his stuff!

Smart and honest, everyone else tried to upsell me a new system but he was honest and brilliant and fixed it like it needed to be done, providing great advice.

On time every time. Fair and reasonably priced. Showed me how to maintain my AC which kept it running for years! When I needed help he came by quickly and took the time to check everything over before leaving. I trust Holmes to care for my AC!

I contacted Bart and he asked a few questions about the age of the AC, set-up, etc. and he walked my husband through on fixing it over the phone. That says a lot about his knowledge and willingness of helping people.

Bart Holmes was incredibly nice, and most importantly, honest. He told me that the issue was actually a very simple fix that I could do myself and taught me how to do it. He could have easily used my lack of knowledge against me but he did not and I am very grateful. If I ever have any serious issues with the HVAC, I will most certainly contact him.

Spoke to Bart Holmes regarding replacing my old AC and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the different options and the pros and cons of the models and the type of work involved. He has been doing this for 40 years and certainly knows what he is talking about. I would highly recommend him.

Bart Holmes himself came to my home and thoroughly inspected my 18 year old air unit, found the problem an fixed it. Anyone else would have said to buy a new unit. Honesty and 40 years years experience is hard to find and this company has both. Thank you.

Bart with Holmes Cooling & Heating was fabulous. He is efficient and friendly, provides excellent service with good prices.

Fantastic service and work completed. Bart is extremely fair in pricing and gives options. Knowledgeable and honest. Very service oriented.

He's always on time, and we've been using him for years now. We have recommended him to our neighbors.

Bart was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He answered all questions, explained the process of what he was doing and his prices were good. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to both family and friends. If you want an honest, hard working expert, hire Bart Holmes!

This isn't my first review of Holmes Cooling and Heating. I have always given Bart Holmes excellent reviews. I want to comment about how he goes the extra mile. I have my A/C unit replaced in Florida by Bart while I was at my home in Chicago. In spite of this being long distance, it went exceedingly well. Upon return to Florida I called Bart to ask if anything needed to be done. He scheduled a visit and went over the workings of the new machine and showed me how to flush the drainage pipes and clean them with bleach. He told me that the processes will make my unit last longer and likely will help avoid service visits in the future. Remarkably, he didn't charge me for the visit! Bart provides excellent service and stands by everything he does. He is always available and will spend time on the phone, if necessary, to walk you through minor fixes. I have used him for "years" and recommend him with no hesitation whatsoever!!

Bart has been my exclusive go-to expert for HVAC solutions for at least 5 yrs. There are many companies to choose from which tout specials & too-good-to-be-true deals, but I've found no one else has equalled Bart's responsiveness, knowledge, integrity, fairness in pricing & honesty. He really cares about his customers & giving them the best service & highest quality result possible. His easy going manner, sincerity & patience makes him very approachable to ask even most basic questions. He wants his customers to be informed about what's going on w their systems/products & explains stuff in simple to understand practical terms. Really pleasure to deal w when facing an awful problem like a/c that suddenly stopped cooling. He's great about helping troubleshoot over phone & doesn't try to sell you on unnecessary equipment. He's the definition of good old fashioned 'great customer service'. I find him trustworthy & have recommended him to friends & family.

Mr. Holmes came out himself on a Sunday and did what he needed to do to get the A/C working for a very reasonable price. This is the 2nd residence he has done repair work on for us, and both experiences were excellent. I highly recommend Holmes A/C.

Bart is very professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He makes sure the job is done right and makes sure we understand important tips to keep our AC running smoothly. He’s also incredibly responsive. We called him and he responded in minutes and took care of our issue same day! So lucky for us since our AC broke on a hot summer day! He will be our “AC guy” as long as he is in business.

We were led to this company based on great personal references and we needed servicing for our central ac unit. The owner Bart (who answers his own phone), responded promptly was clear and very gracious. He took the time to ask many critical questions to help with a preliminary diagnosis right away that indicated a possible issue with our original installation. Then even at a very busy time if the year when he could have just deferred, he offered to come out and verify what I had described and upon arrival he was exceptionally professional and thorough. We went through the history and situation surrounding our issue and instead of suggesting a complete replacement of our unit or even a partial but costly and inadequate repair, he shared a ton of knowledge and gave us advice on how best to proceed putting our needs first. While we did not ultimately need his service on this call, he has certainly earned my respect and will be our go to for future needs.

Bart Holmes is my Cooling Hero! I had used Holmes a year ago for preventative maintenance. Bart was prompt and efficient. Now our AC system wasn't working at all and I called him hoping he could come right away and terrified about what it would cost, would we need a new system, etc. Instead of booking an appointment, Bart first had me change the thermostat battery - nothing. Then he had me take pictures of the coil unit in the garage. Based on the pics, next step was to move the top of the safety switch which started the unit for a moment. From this, Bart the Cooling Hero deduced that drain pipe outside was clogged, and under his guidance I used my shop. vac to suck out the blockage. Bingo! Cool air flows again! This is the most amazing thing, especially here in Florida - Bart never said anything about coming to fix it, needing an inspection - nothing. Just guided me to fix the problem. I mean, who does that nowadays? Needless to say, he's my AC guru and fixer for anything that happens. I recommend him fully.

Just had our AC die on us. Bart was on time, took care of the problem in less than 30 minutes, and had the house cooling ASAP! If you need fast, quality, prompt AC work give Bart at Holmes Cooling and Heating a call. Highly recommend.

Our A/C could not keep up with the warm Florida summer and was taking forever to cool down. Family was coming over to stay with us for a few days and needed to solve the problem immediately. After trying unsuccessfully to schedule an appointment with the company that services our unit (twice a year), I immediately started searching online for a company that could help us solve this predicament we were in and based on reviews on Angie’s list was lucky to stumble upon Holmes Cooling and Heating. I called on Wednesday July 8 at 6pm thinking that nobody would answer due to the time of day at was calling at. To my surprise Mr. Holmes himself answered and after discussing for a couple of minutes what the situation was, said he would visit next morning. At 8:30 am of Thursday he was calling me to tell me he would soon be over; after working on the inspection of the unit; soon we where discussing his diagnosis; we spent a good 40 minutes going over the issue and decided that we needed a new one. He proceeded to locate a unit with the specs we had reviewed and proceeded to install the next day. Installation was a breeze (4 .5 hours) and the installation team was incredibly courteous -at times you couldn’t even tell they were there. By 1:30pm on Friday July 10 the newly installed AC was cooling our home - just in time - family arrived at 2:30pm. After installation was completed Mr Holmes himself spent another hour checking out all aspects of the installation and explaining in detail how to follow simple steps that I could follow to extend the life of the unit. We were extremely lucky to find such a great company to work with and have gained our confidence to become our go to AC company from now on.

Bart was very knowledgeable and knew exactly which service I needed. He did not try to sell me on things I didn't need. A true professional.

1st week: the hair handler in the ceiling was pitched wrong so all the water overflowed out of the pan. it started coming through into the bathroom and ruined the ceiling---they came back and fixed it in a quick manner. 4 years later, the motor blew out. They came back and quickly repaired it, but wouldn't honor the warranty. Bart, the owner said that it would be a hassle and cost me more. At that point, I wasn't going to argue with him---I just will never use him again.

Excellent service. Patient, professional, punctual, reasonably priced and super friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!
