Triton never fails to please us. Our service technicians are always prompt, accurate and efficient with their work. Frankie worked on our latest repair regarding our a/c unit and we couldn't be happier. He was a delight to work with. The office admins at Triton are always a pleasure to work with. They return your calls and schedule services promptly. I highly recommend Triton for your HVAC needs.

My experience with Triton so far has been good. Not great. I think it would of been great if I asked for Armando the second time instead of Stu. Armando is very professional, kind, and courteous. He explained everything to me and had great recommendations that I am considering. He is quite knowledgeable in his field and definitely an asset to Triton. I will be asking for him for every maintenance visit. He is beyond 5 stars.

The Triton representative, Armando, was great. He was on time, professional, personable and and was very knowledgeable of the system and repairs required. He was early to our appointment, and was quick when he needed to go back to the shop to get a part. Thank you Armando! In the office, Marty was also great getting us worked into the schedule on a very busy 95 degree day!

Armando R. Was outstanding. He was immaculately clean, very professional, very courteous, and knowledgeable. He was not in a hurry at all and focused on getting the job done in a five star manner. When done he asked if I had any questions. He then asked if he could help me with anything. He put in a flood light for me in my kitchen and fixed a cabinet drawer that was broken for several years. WOW. Such service I have never seen.before. Thank you Triton Air for sending Armando. He is an excellent employee.a real keeper.
