Rick Glisson has done an outstanding job of keeping our A/C unit running efficiently. Knowledgeable, personable, and a true professional. We are part of the comfort club, and wouldn't trust our HVAC needs to anyone else! Keep up the great work. Robert Mackritis Had our servicing done again on 6 March.

A Plus came out and replaced our system and then cleaned out the ducts and vents. Great service at a great price. Crew was very professional and the staff was easy to work with. I couldn't believe how much dust was in our duct work. Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning

Great experience with them, I had neglected maintaining my unit and needed it drained The technician who came out was very nice and walked me thru typical maintenance of ac units, can't recommend this company enough, nice people!

Earlier this year A-Plus installed two American Standard split-system air conditioners at my house. On the initial visit the owner, Bob McCollum, inspected and measured the existing units and ducting at ground level and in the attic. His comments were to the point, clearly based in knowledge and experience, and free of a fluffy sales pitch. His price was in line with other estimates I received. Further communication was carried out by email.

The two installations occurred on separate days in about 7 hours each by an organized and courteous crew that attended to all the details of the installation, did not waste time, and left no mess. The systems have been working well, as promised, and I'm very pleased with the efficiency and quality of the entire operation.
