We recently bought a new house in the moores ferry neighborhood and of course 2 weeks after we close we have a/c troubles. My neighbors recommended Hickory Sheet Metal for their prompt service and knowledgeable technicians. I called and was not impressed the slightest with the older man I talked to. Very rude. I believe his name to be mike. I was told they were not taking any new customers and they were fine with their current customers. Then he hung up on me. I called Foothills heating and a/c and received great service. Hope this helps to stay away from this business.

These guys know what they are doing. They had our York chiller system up and going in a matter of hours even after the factory service provider (Johnson Controls) said they couldn't fix it. I would definitely reccomend these guys for industrial cooling needs.
