Critical: Quality Came out to service Ac did not check Freon level ac went out 2 weeks after service for low Freon levels no leaks present. Just poor judgement to not check Freon levels during service. When we call office to explain what has happens only thing they could say is that sucks. In my opinion call someone else Services: Repair HVAC, A/C system maintenance

Very seldomly do I ever hire a Service that is on time, does the job correct the first time. These guys are really good they know what they're doing the technician that showed up had no issues fixing repairing and cleaning my entire system works 100% better. I will only use holders Service: A/C system maintenance

Tim with Holder's AC is amazing, professional, works fast and is always on time and prompt. Holder's has been awesome with us. Brylon has had lots of work set up to be done on our rental house we're selling now and every time we ask for service they're right on. We highly recommend them for swamp coolers. They are working on our wall heater and an a AC window unit also now. Thank you Brylon and Chris. Thanks for everything you've done this week and next week for us. Mark Jewell

We use Holders to perform our twice annual maintenance for our HVAC system. The Technician, Jorge V. was so knowledgeable and efficient throughout the visit. We were so impressed with the way he performed the maintenance and his friendliness. The best Service ever! Service: HVAC system maintenance

I had a new HVAC system installed almost two years ago this coming August. After the first year I signed up for Holders maintenance program and paid in advance for them to come onsite twice a year to perform maintenance. Once in the Fall season to checkout the heating system and once in the spring season to check out the air conditioning system. I wasn't real happy with the AC system maintenance.
I have "in most cases" noticed the service technician would take the top off the condenser unit that is mounted on the ground in my back yard, "the unit with the cooling vents and compressor in it" and he/she would blow/vacuum leaves and dirt out of the bottom pan of the unit and also clean the cooling vents. This time he just spayed the vents with water from the outside. The inside was not touched.
So I have to decide if I want to let it go and let the bottom pan rust away over time or do the cleaning myself or call them a complain about the poor service. I think I will call them and see how they respond.
