Our HVAC unit drain line clogged and caused an overflow that damaged our flooring. CoolBreeze sent a tech out who did all he could to clear the line, finally believing that the clog must be downstream in the building infrastructure (we live in a highrise condo). After monitoring the unit for a few weeks, it's clear that he did resolve the issue. He also noticed that the sensor that prevents overflows was misinstalled and relocated it to prevent this from happening again. Great job overall and wouldn't hesitate to call them again when needed.

I have reached out to this company by email, through Angie's list and by phone and have received no response. I called using the link on Angie's list and got "uh, hello?" as a response then the woman hung up. I have a feeling this company no longer is in business or is not seeking new clients.

Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We continuously strive to maintain excellence in customer service so needless to say, we were dismayed when we read your feedback as your experience with us completely goes against the high standards we hold our company to. I can offer that we did search for your email but did not find one. As for the phone call you made, when calling from the Angie's List link, there is a bit of a delay from the moment we answer the call to when we are connected to the customer so the person who answered the phone was most likely trying to make sure you could hear her on the line. Regardless, we would very much like the opportunity to show you that we are a company you would be happy to do business with, and we hope that you will consider contacting us to schedule your appointment. Please call us directly at 301-879-3400.

I called on a Saturday morning requesting service for my broken AC. The person told me they could come the next day. I explained I had a party planned Saturday evening and the AC was not working. Given my situation, they agreed to send some one out the same day. Ron (the owner) came out in a few hours and quickly diagnosed the issue. The problem was fixed quickly for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this company.

One of the hottest nights and days of the year. AC broke down ant 10PM. I called around 6am to find out opening time (8am for scheduling it is). I got a call back at 6:15!! To check what my problem is, re-assuring me that they can deal with it same day and that I call back when office is open. Nice and "cool" service already here!. I got an appointment window starting 2pm which suited me. The next real positive surprise was Rene the service person! Personality, competence, service orientated, professional, articulate, explained the why and whats - and all this on a day which was very hectic and very for all of us and in particular for him to do his job. I certainly based on my opinion can recommend Rene and the company! PS-service emergency call, Condensator had to be replaced, and two air filters.

Don't know yet. I set an appointment for Wed, called Wed morning to confirm, they said my appointment is on Fri. I know I did not get this wrong, as I wrote it down as we were on the phone and repeated it back, then immediately wrote it in my calendar. When I called to confirm, around 10am, whomever answered the phone sounded like I woke her up. She did not even identify herself as Cool Breeze; I had to ask if I was speaking with Cool Breeze. I didn't realize until now that I had used them before with mixed outcome. In the winter my heater broke down. They sent someone out who said they fixed it, but then the next morning my heat stopped again, Luckily, they sent a different, more experienced, technician out later that day, squeezing me into a very busy cold spell day. I know they have a good review on Angie's List, but they appear to me hit or miss.

Response from Cool Breeze Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We apologize for any inconvenience the scheduling error caused you; this mistake does not accurately reflect the high standards of customer service we hold our staff to and we have reviewed the issue with our office team. Regarding the phone call you made to us: when calls come in from Angie's List, there is bit of a delayed connection between us and the caller, so when we answer the phones identifying ourselves as Cool Breeze, we often have to repeat the greeting a second time and then wait for a reply, unsure of whether or not the call has connected and the person on the other end of the line has heard us. We do hope that if the need arises again in the future that you will consider giving us the opportunity to provide you with our services. The owner of the company will be contacting you to discuss the matter further.

The service technician arrived within the two-hour window. He immediately diagnosed the problem and fixed it in no time. The owner Ron and his technician were both very professional and pleasant. Cool Breeze provided me with fast and top-notch repair service at a very reasonable price. Thank you and keep up the magnificent work!

Not very well. According to the owner they worked really slowly and were done three hours late. Then they didn't do all the work as agreed upon and had to come back the next day. The next day they did come back, but the worker was too lazy to get the parts out of the back of the truck and went home. Then they didn't call the day after that to tell me when they would show up. They had forgotten so I had to call. I scheduled an appointment for them to finish the job on the next day and the scheduler promised the technician would be there at 10:00AM sharp. He wasn't so I called to see if they were coming and nobody knew I was on the schedule. The technician showed up at my house at 10:30AM visibly ****** off and rude. The story didn't end there. Cool Breeze forgot to schedule the inspection, so I had to follow-up with them again. The inspector came and the installation failed inspection. They had wired the AC unit outside improperly and it was a fire hazard. Lovely. At this point the same rude technician showed up again and made the repairs. I guess we will see if the saga of careless service continues or not.

I would like to start by apologizing that you are not happy with the install from yesterday. We work very hard to please every customer, every day. Sometimes the jobs prove to be more difficult than we first thought and require more time. I would like to offer that the service installer who was there and back the following day is not lazy or rude, but one of the hardest working gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He did ask if he would be able to return because he had received a delivery to his vehicle for the next day's install ( that two people are required to move) which blocked his access to the equipment he needed, and I was told that you agreed. We did not forget to schedule your inspection because in the hot weather we bundle them together so we are not running back and forth to the permit office, and they can take up to a month to schedule. As far as the inspection goes, the disconnect box had wires that were stripped 3/8 of an inch too much for the inspector's taste but never risked any kind of fire hazard. So, again, even though it is clear you are not happy with the install, i have reached out to you a few times and you have chosen not to receive my call. Please feel free to contact me in the future about this matter or any other concern you may have. I want you to be a satisfied customer like so many others. Thank you, Ron Tolbert, owner

Repair included replacing cracked PVC pipe (between condensation tray and pump) with a clear trap, and adding refrigerant to my aging residential air conditioning system. Technician Rene was outstanding. He explained everything he needed to do and encouraged me to look over his shoulder while he worked. He also provided options at a couple of points, which I appreciated.

Technician was professional and showed up on the days scheduled, a little later than the service window. Diagnosis was done quickly. Ordering part was done by office personnel and took a little longer than I thought it should. I called often to check on when tech would arrive and was part ordered and when it would arrive. Everyone I spoke to was pleasant and polite. The entire process took one week between diagnosis and installation of part. Price was fair.

Excellent. Called the company 8 :00 Am Saturday morning and the repair person was here at noon the same day. He explained what was wrong with the unit and had the unit up and running almost immediately. Excellent customer service and communication. We will definitely use this company again. Many thanks.

For the job, first I used Angie's list and chose three A rated service providers. I communicated with all three and received three free estimates. All three companies appeared excellent to me. However Cool Breeze proposal seemed a best fit for what I wanted. My units were replaced with Bryant Evolution System which includes both heating and cooling system with an excellent Bryant Evolution wifi digital thermostat. I am extremely happy with Cool Breeze personnel and services I received during installation and thereafter to this day. I have recommended them to my daughter and recommend them to anybody who is looking for similar service as mine. The price indicated below is the net price following Bryant rebate, cash or check discount, Web site coupon and Pepco rebate.

While Cool Breeze did come out to take measurements and prepare an estimate for replacing the duct work in my house, they never followed up with an estimate, even though I followed up with them to find out when I should expect the estimate. I guess they were not interested in the work.

Overpriced service The $59 AC service became a over $300 repair. Technician suggested to change a water pump (he provided the pump at around $165 + installation extra). After the service, later I checked the pump price at home depot and it was exactly the same for $41
