Straight answers, before we ever roll a truck.
The things Gainesville homeowners ask us most.
How fast can you get to me?
We dispatch from our Gainesville home base at 1730 NE 23rd Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32609 and serve all of North Central Florida. Most calls are scheduled same or next business day, and emergency service available after hours.
What does a service call cost?
Diagnostic visits start at $119 — and the diagnostic tells you exactly what is wrong before any repair work begins. Estimates on new systems are always free, with financing available.
Do you work on my brand of AC?
Yes. We repair and maintain all makes and models, and our technicians are factory trained and certified with all major brands.
Why do you do a load calculation on every install?
Because sizing by guesswork is why so many Florida homes feel clammy. A real load calculation — required by Florida code and skipped by most contractors — sizes the system to your home, not a rule of thumb.
Stay comfortable. Call the team Gainesville has trusted since 1991.
