Scott V says: „Been in our Bradenton home for +40 years and our AC system has been patched into a Frankenstein of a system, bits and pieces replaced, relocated, and reworked but has limped along. Until last Friday evening. Turned down the temperature but the only thing that went down was the comfort level. Contacted our normal serviceman but, as happens a lot in Florida, he had retired. But he highly recommended Veteran Air. Checked into them and lots of good reviews so got in touch and set up an appointment for Sunday.
With our non-stop heat, Saturday got quite unbearable. Contacted Veteran Air again and luckily, they managed to get us an appointment for Saturday evening. Their service tech Rich stopped by and checked everything out. Unfortunately, a coolant leak was found in the attic mounted air handler coil that could not be repaired and replacing the old coil would be an expensive band aid. Ducts were fine and after long chat with him and decided the best way to go would be a new system, with (hopefully) a Monday install.
Luckily, we had a 12,000 BTU portable AC we got for hurricane emergencies and although this was not a hurricane, it was an emergency. That along with some circulation fans made the house tolerable Sunday and Sunday evening, it definitely was a great purchase a few years back.
Everything came in and Monday, their techs showed up and were ready to go. A lot of scrambling around, in and out of the attic, new slab under the condenser (hurricane rated), new lines, new air handler, new circuit breakers, new WIFI enabled thermostat, and best of all, new cold air blowing. System runs great. Thursday an inspector came by (without a ladder???) and everything was great so we are rolling cold now.
Cannot hold judgement on anyone else reviewing Veteran Air, but our experience was great. The people were friendly and professional and the system works great. From order to cold air blowing in about 36 hours is pretty good in my book. The high recommendation from our previous serviceman carried a lot of weight, too. The thank you gift today was nice, too...“ Show more
