Freedom AC was very responsive. They contacted me several times to let me know that they had openings in their schedule and could come early. Unfortunately, I was not able to take advantage of that but I appreciated the effort nonetheless. They arrived on time on the scheduled date. We had a 4-hour window, 12 to 4. They called ahead to let us know they were 20 minutes out and arrived around 12:30. The service rep was very courteous, explained exactly what they he was going to do, where he would be working, how much time he expected it to take. He always put shoe covers on when he came in the house. The service rep spend quite some time on each of the units. The units are older and he advised that, while they are still working, they will eventually need to be replaced. He itemized the work that he did on each unit. He also identified things that we should monitor over time. We appreciated that there was no heavy pressure or upsell. Overall, very pleased with their promptness, workmanship, professionalism and honesty.

Less than a week after the repair was made, my air conditioner has burned out. I have it set at a reasonable temperature, and it's very hot inside. I checked the air conditioning unit, and it was red-hot. The pipes were also hot. I really hope the unit isn't ruined now, because it could be. I've tried multiple times to get to get ahold of them

We did try to accommodate, when you had called a few days after the initial visit. You were clearly upset when you had called after hours and told the answering service that you wanted someone there by 8am the next day. We did try to explain that we do need a window of time yet you did not want to wait. That next day we did send a technician out and he was there by 8am yet there was no one there to meet him to let him in. We made many attempts to call and had no luck. We left a card to show proof that we were there after waiting about 30 minutes and had to have the technician move on to the next call. We do try to make sure, when things go wrong, to try to go back and re-assess the problem to see if we missed anything, yet at the time we had went back we were unable to get a hold of you.

DO NOT USE THEM, BUYER BEWARE. Paid for a $39.00 special that was being offered through Angie's List. Called to schedule appointment a couple of days after purchasing it since they did not call me, although it said they would on the voucher. When I called I told the woman that I was going to have to take a day off of work for the service call since I work far from home. The day of the service call I received a phone call at 8:30 telling me that they could not come and would have to reschedule. I explained that I had taken the day off of work to have this done, so he then said that he could have someone do it. I waited all day, no one showed up and I never received a phone call. Have not heard a word since. Very unprofessional. They should not be offering these deals if they are unable to follow through!

Hello there, we do apologize, but there were circumstances beyond our control that had prevented us to make it to your appointment. We did have to reschedule many appointments that day for the same reason. When the vouchers come in as purchased to us, most times, we do not receive phone numbers to call, so we send a response email with instructions to call us to make an appointment. We did try to contact you to try to reschedule with you, yet to no avail. Again , we do apologize and do wish that the outcome could have been different.

Aside from being rescheduled in anticipation of rain, which for the first appointment it did not rain, the technician was professional and was very knowledgeable about explaining what was necessary for me to know concerning my air conditioner condenser, compressor and fan. I would definitely re-hire Freedom Heating and Cooling. I highly recommend them.

Guillermo was great. He explained the A/C operating system. He was very professional and courteous. He arrived promptly. The only reason I graded punctuality good vs excellent is because the original appointment had to be rescheduled and then the dispatcher actually sent him earlier then the time frame originally provided. Fortunately I could accommodate the change.

Do Not Use this company unless you want to be scammed. Had technician, Mauro, out for a routine A.C. check. Our air conditioning was working fine prior to Freedom's visit, cool air came out and continued to do so until the the set temp on our thermostat was reached, but the A.C. WOULD NOT turn back on when the technician was leaving. When asked why it wasn't turning on now Mauro's reason was for that a part of the unit was working intermittently and while he walked inside from working on our unit it could have stopped working altogether, he couldn't be sure. He also as gave as an excuse for it not coming on that the older units took a few minutes to kick on, whereas I knew for our unit that it turned on immediately after we adjusted our thermostat. The A.C. never turned back on after Mauro's visit. We called the company to report the problem and were yelled at by the manager and told that she didn't believe our side of what happened and accused us of lying . She also told my husband that she didn't believe him, because of how many people call her to report similar problems, which in her eyes was proof that most of her customers were trying to SCAM her!

At the time of the initial visit, we had sent our technician Mauro out to do your clean & check for your system. It was noted that there was a part called a contactor that needed to be replaced due to the system having an intermittent problem that he had noticed. At the time he was there he offered a quote to replace the part and it was declined at the time by your wife whom was there. We had then received a call from your wife whom then told us that the a/c stopped working after our tech had left. The tech did document that there was an issue with the contactor at the time of the visit, and it was signed by your wife before he had left. We are not in the business of scamming anyone, we have a wonderful base that took us 10 years to build, there is no need to scam anyone in order for our company to survive. It would be important to note, fraud is a real problem that exists, and it is everywhere, but one must realize that if there was a scam operation going on, not even the smallest most desperate companies would take such a large risk for such a minor repair such as replacing a contactor. In any event, we thank you for allowing us to make this point, when someone feels as if they are being defrauded, you must weigh out the risk for the reward. On a case like this, companies who do try to scam their customers, would make every attempt to find more repairs that are needed in order to drive the reward much higher than just a simple fix. We wish you the best of luck with your system and hope you will find a contractor that will be able to keep you at ease with this.
