We moved into a new home that had an existing older Trane unit with some minor issues. GHAC came in and fixed an outdoor overflow leak that the previous owner said existed for years, cleaned up some things and set us up on a maintenance plan so we could receive the repair at a discount and get the most life out of the unit in the years to come. Arrived on time, courteous and answered all of our questions.

Honest worker, gave me the details of what he had to check and do. Found a possible freon leak. Used a dye in the new freon and returned 4 days later to check on the possible leak. It was discovered in a coil installed in 2013, but the warranty was up in 2018. Will return to replace the coil as soon as possible.

We have used this company for years and they do a great job. Some of the technicians are better than others, but they are all excellent. Most recently Jeff came to solve a problem with our air-conditioning and he was like Sherlock Holmes looking at dust samples in vents to figure out the problem and solve it. Brilliant!

GHAC installed my unit (replacement) originally and I have had a service contract with them for several years (thankfully they have a very professional and efficient office staff to ensue I schedule my visits timely!). My technician, Ron, is always professional, pleasant and genuinely concerned that our system runs at maximum capacity for maintaining our comfort. He always calls and arrives when scheduled, is very helpful when explaining what needs to be done and why, and always proactive to try and avoid possible "emergency" issues down the road that would keep us without our cooling system due

Good company, good people. We've been using them for 4 or 5 years. Their service techs have always been courteous, knowledgeable, and able to solve the problems we've experienced so far. When we ask questions the techs take the time to answer to our satisfaction. Just today Ron was dispatched to help us with our furnace. He explained how the furnace cycles through its startup which helped us understand what we were experiencing.

General Heating and Air is outstanding. Their representatives always come on time, call before the come and explain what they plan to do. We have an annual contract with them that is very reasonable. They come twice a year and check everything out inside and outside. They remind us every six months when our check-up is due and make arrangements and appointments as when they will come. I new they were professional when they came to my home the first time. Before they entered the house they put on shoe booties to prevent dirt on the floors and carpet. Great company and personnel.

I had 2 - 3 ton units removed and replaced. The installation crew was very professional, courteous and kept the house very clean. They put down tarps to protect the banister and stairs inside and they swept and cleaned outside. They showed up on time and even got along great with my dog. The crew members were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Great job guys! Thanks!

General Heating & Air Conditioning is the ONLY company I would ever recommend to anyone for their AC and heating needs. We have used them for as long as I can remember... 30 years maybe? They are always courteous, prompt, and we've always felt their pricing was fair. Their technicians are well-trained and dependable. I recommend them highly to everyone I know.
