Originally gave 5 stars because the technicians that repaired our stuff were extremely nice and did a good job. I'd probably still recommend them for repairs and maintenance. But then I had to deal with Fred from the sales department. Fred came out and first commented on how nice of a car I have, then proceeded to quote us $33,000 for an 18 SEER system - 3x what every other company quoted us for the exact same equipment. Then did the classic "called the owner" and tried to offer huge discounts including $5000 off to 'compensate' us for a previous repair we had done on our AC that hadn't fixed the issue, but even with the discounts it was still double what everyone else quoted. All that did was piss me off because I hate being gouged by scummy salesman tactics. Right now I cannot recommend them at all for new installs, it's insanely overpriced and the salesmen will use every scumbag tactic in the book.

Had the air conditioning unit serviced today and our technician, Jared did a great job again. He didn’t seem to mind the dog pestering him each time he came in the house. Also had a new water heater installed and the estimator, Ron was very thorough in his review and inspection. Once all questions were discussed and answered, we ordered and it was installed same day. Installer Luke and his helper were super fast and did a great job. Although the faucet still had air in it when they left; we just had to let it run for a few minutes to let it work it way out and not spit and splatter about. 😂. Crossing my fingers to get another 20 years out of this one. Nice company and group of people to work with and they also offered a military discount!

🌟 What a day at Access Heating, Air, and Plumbing! It sounds like Jared, Ron, Luke, and the crew turned it into a full-on home comfort fiesta. We’re thrilled to hear Jared handled the doggy welcome committee like a champ—pets are part of the family, after all, and our techs come dog-approved! Big shoutout to Ron for being thorough and making sure all your water heater questions were crystal clear before diving into installation. And wow, Luke and Phil installing on the same day? That’s what we call superhero speed! Sorry about the mini air show from your faucet, but glad to hear it was a quick fix. Here’s hoping your new water heater is just as reliable as the last, giving you another 20 years of peace of mind. Thanks for highlighting our military discount, too—we’re proud to support our service members. We appreciate the glowing review and are so happy to have provided you with a service that left a smile on your face. Don’t hesitate to call us for your next service adventure or just to say hi to the team. We’re always ready to keep things cool, warm, and just right. Thanks again for choosing us!

It took them 2 minutes to fix a small plastic part on my faucet, and they charged $90 for that. They didn't warn me about the cost ahead of time or discuss the problem ahead of time over the phone. I feel that price was outrageous.

They don't really give you a true breakdown of the parts and labor. The parts cost is way over inflated then they don't charge you for all the costs to make you feel like you got a good deal. We had a wiring pigtail replaced they said the cost was $530. I looked into it and the true price isn't close to that.
Description of Work: We needed our AC fixed and were out of town. We had little choice or time to call around. Afterwards comparing with other service providers they seem to be very expensive.

Description of Work: The servile was prepaid in an annual contract. Sorry don't recall what it was. Have used Access for 10+ years. They may be on the higher end price wise but they are professional and do a good job. Willing to work with you around scheduling. Keep you posted as to if the serc=vice call may be delayed. They call 30 minutes prior to arrival. |

I've used Access Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. are expensive and try to sell you new heating unit and a new air conditioning unit, when you don't need it yet. They did the job, but I wasn't happy with them. All they did was put some freon in it. I didn't think putting some freon in my air conditioning unit was $400.00. They were very pushy with selling. Other than that, it seemed like they knew what they were doing.

Very well. I already told the story.
Description of Work: We cleaned (hosed out) our exterior A/C unit. After exhaustive efforts to put back together the surrounding shields from cleaning out numerous bee (yellow jacket) nests, our A/C would not cool. We phoned Access Air and they had a Tech in the area. He arrived promptly in a couple of hours and found a couple of loose wire connections. He said that he would not have even charged us but we live in a rural area - even though it was nearby another service call that he made.

Our builder put the cheapest of high end products in our home so they are all failing. Our furnace mother board went out two years ago and that was a couple thousand dollars. We have a contract with Access Heating and Air Conditioning to take care of our furnace and air conditioner. They are very good. They are very prompt. I will continue to use them.
Description of Work: I used Access Heating & Air Conditioning to clean my furnace and air conditioner twice a year. They were here about six weeks ago.

James arrived on time same day as promised and was both friendly and professional. As new residents, it was good to know he had helped the previous owner also and that he will be the one who performs maintenance in the future for us. Luckily this company realizes the importance of a personal relationship with their clients.
Description of Work: Our A/C compressor stopped working so we called Access whose sticker was on the system. We got same day service with James. We were told a capacitor went out, so he replaced it. He also checked out the entire heating and cooling system including thermostat and changed filters. Our bill included an optional maintenance contract for 1 year which saved us on this repair also.

Our AC went out on a very hot Sunday. Monday morning I called Access. They said they could have someone out within a couple of hours, and two hours later the technician called and said he was on his way. He diagnosed the problem within a couple of minutes, got the necessary parts from his truck, and had everything repaired and running in less than an hour. When it was in the mid-90's outside and mid-80's inside, it was wonderful to have such prompt service! As far as prices, I have no idea what's a good price for a voltage contactor or a voltage protection capacitor, which is what our unit had to have replaced. The service call fee was very reasonable. I was very pleased with Access.
Description of Work: Replaced voltage contactor and voltage protection capacitor; tested all voltages and operating electrical capacities on AC; in layman's terms, got the AC working again.
