Superior. Replaced entire system, including removal and replacement of the duct system. Took just over one day when all the other bids said it would take 4 to 5 days. Also saved over $5000 from proposals of the bigger firms.

My husband was in the hospital and when I came home the air was not working. I called Custom Air and they sent Gilbert out. What a wonderful young man, Very knowledgeable Ac guy. He took the time to explain the issue and fixed it. Im so happy with the service on my air conditioner problem I got from Gilbert. This guy is the best. I will request Gilbert when ever I need something done with my ac/furnace. Thank you Custom air for employing such a great repair guy. Penelope Schellenberg

We called Custom Cooling and they came out and told us we needed 2 coils replaced. The parts needed to be ordered but we only had to wait about 5 days and they were here to repair our AC. We are very happy with the service they provided and will continue to use them when the need arises. We also have them come out annually to do maintenance on our AC. Very professional and reliable company.
