Cooling Carolina LLC

I have never written a review here before, even though I've been using Angie's List for years. I'm writing this because I had the best experience I've ever had with a contractor of any type and I can't believe that Charlie doesn't have more reviews. I had a well-known local company come out with the promise of a cheap inspection and they found countless issues and told me that I needed to replace two of my units. They were not that old and it seemed odd to me, so I asked a few friends and was told that this small operation has a reputation for being honest. I cannot explain how pleased I am with the decision to call Charlie. It will seem hard to believe but the first company suggested that I spend over $20,000!!! Given the value of the place, couldn't believe this and was trying to figure out how to finance this, since I trusted it was necessary. Charlie came out and found that two of the units were simply unhooked! The other just needed a new thermostat and then some new refrigerant. He fixed everything in a matter of a few hours and clearly explained everything to me. It was about $1,000 and I have had no issues whatsoever. It seems this business is filled with scam artists and if you live in the South, you have to have A/C in the summer, so many of us just take their word for it. Don't make that mistake. Give these guys a call because they are as honest as you can possibly ask for and they earned a customer for life in me. It is a smaller operation (no fancy billboards or shiny new trucks with logos all over them!), but they can handle any job from what I can tell and they are as professional and courteous as you could expect from any of the providers. If you have any AC or heat needs, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't give Charlie a shout. I can only offer my highest recommendation and I hope that others who have such great experiences come on here and write a review for him, because Cooling Carolina exceeded my expectations in every way. By the way, when I called back the original company to ask how they found so much wrong they had no explanation and hurried me off the phone. At the very least, ask Charlie for a second opinion because it may just save you $19,000!!! Stay coooool!!!
