I was referred to Hi-Vac Air by my Warranty for my Trane Air Conditioner amongst others. Hi-Vac had the highest ratings and reviews so we decided to call them among others to compare. When calling, the receptionist was very polite and kind to speak with and quickly provided prices (flat rate, not hourly like others charge) and gave us a quick appointment to come out and see why our conditioner was leaking water. At arrival, the tech arrived on time as promised and quickly diagnosed the problem. He cleaned out our pipe which was clogged and causing water leakage, dusted the entire unit, and cleaned out anything else that was polluted. He also gave us twice a year maintenance for a great price and waived the diagnostic fee for coming out to see what the problem is. The tech was very polite and knowledgeable of our unit and any questions we had for him, and we're glad to have chosen this company to help us out. We've now signed up for recurring twice a year maintenance appointments and can't wait to get a call for our next visit. A+ for this company and its staff, we're very satisfied from the first visit and many more to come.
My home AC went down and needed a new one. I contacted several companies to do my research. Joe from Hi-Vac came out to explain my options. He was patient, clear and knew what he was talking about. They had a very reasonable price for a Trane A/C. Their price was surprisingly lower than the comparable Carrier unit I was looking at. Trane is one of the highest rated A/C manufacturers on consumer reports. Contacted them on Monday to approve of the installation. They came out Wednesday before 9 AM, on time and ready to go. Sebastian and Stephon did excellent work. Right from the beginning explained the process as well as kept me updated. Quick efficient and clean. By the end of the day I had a fully functional brand new 3 ton split unit AC installed in my house with no mess to clean up. Courtney who works in the office was also very easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Based on my experience I would absolutely recommend Hi-Vac. Fair price for one of the top brands. Friendly and easy to talk to. I will update this review after I’ve lived with the AC for a couple of months. Today is day one
Words cant describe how happy I am with this company. There are so many AC companies to choose from but look no further. Everything was so easy: from scheduling, to estimating, to fixing the problem. I had to issues: replacing the old unit and fixing the second unit. The AC repairman Jisaiah is a rock star. He is a super nice guy, patient and kind. He made sure to double check everything before starting the labor. He did a tremendous job and I would recommend him to everyone. The next day my old AC unit was change. Service technician Stephan and Log were awesome, very professional and knowledgeable. My new unit is working wonderfully. Special thank you to the people from the office who organized and coordinated this job: Courtney, Mike, and Joseph. I highly recommend this company! Igor K. Plantation, Florida August 11, 2025
I couldn’t be happier with the service and installation we received from this company! I called in the afternoon and the next day Joe came out to give me an estimate and had me signed up immediately and on the schedule for the day after. The installers came out the next day Right on time and started work immediately. All three of the installers were extremely professional and friendly. Stephon, Logan and Sebastian are top-notch! I made sure to have the office note that I would like to deal with them in the future for any service if need be. Speaking of the office staff, Courtney, Joe and Mike were a breeze to deal with and got everything done ASAP. I highly recommend this company for any and all of your air-conditioning needs!
5/8/25 - Installation- My experience with HI VAC and their team had been very positive from start to finish. The initial contact with Joseph (Joe) could not be more informative, detail oriented without any doubt he knows what he is doing. As per his team Logan, Sebastian and Stephon, they were punctual, answered all my questions, called as expected half an hour before arrival, worked hard for almost 9 hrs! and they did an excellent job. Garage was impecable when they left. The result couldn’t be better, now I have an A/C that is really cooling and sooo quiet… see picture from garage air handler. I highly recommend HiVac and his entire team including the office staff in charge of the permits.
I recently purchased a new HVAC system from HI-VAC, and I have to say, this has been the BEST service I’ve received from any company in a very long time. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and genuinely impressive. A huge thank you to Joe, Stephon, Sebastian, and Sean. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and hardworking. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and treated my home with care and respect. The installation was done efficiently and everything works perfectly. It’s rare these days to find a company that goes above and beyond like this. If you’re considering HVAC service or installation, I highly recommend HI-VAC. You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks to Hi Vac, the day was saved! Despite a scheduled maintenance scheduled for the 17th, our AC upstairs was leaky, so I called the office and they said they would send a technician out today. In the 20 minutes prior to his arrival, Peter called me to let me know he would be there. In no time, he had cold air flowing again after explaining the problem, repairing the upstairs unit, and servicing the downstairs unit as well. Peter was friendly, efficient, explained what he was doing and suggested that we clean our coils in the future. I'm not easily impressed, but Peter did an exceptional job and I highly recommend their fast, professional service." Ask for Peter, he's amazing!
**Outstanding Service from Hi Vac Air – Alex is the Best!** I had an excellent experience with **Hi Vac Air** for my AC service. Alex was the technician who came out, and he did an amazing job diagnosing and repairing the issue. His expertise and attention to detail were impressive—he quickly identified the problem and explained everything in a clear, professional manner. Not only was the repair done efficiently, but my AC is now working better than ever. Alex’s dedication to quality service truly stands out. If you're looking for reliable and skilled HVAC service, I highly recommend **Hi Vac Air** and be sure to ask for Alex! Thank you, Alex, for the outstanding work!
From start to finish, the whole experience was exceptional. Everyone that entered our home expressed professionalism and care. We are in a condo and the team made it very easy to get what we needed from our HOA for a full HVAC system replacement. The installation team arrived on time in the morning, worked diligently throughout the day and completely cleaned up when they left early afternoon. We have a small dog and the team made sure to be careful with him when he had to quickly get around them. We were pleased that the other positive reviews we read before booking HI-vac proved to be 100% true and we are more than satisfied with the job they did.
Excellent service & tech. Staff keeps me apprised when maintenance & contract are due, they are very pleasant & accommodating to work with. The techs have always been excellent. They always call while they are enroute. They are skilled, efficient & thorough. They communicate the condition & current functioning of the unit - air handler, compressor & heater. They describe every aspect of the service & expectation of future performance. Today, Jisaiah did an excellent job & showed me photos to illustrate each point. I'm very confident that I've made an excellent choice & was happy to renew my contract again today. Money well invested.
Well if that's customer service that is something I haven't seen in a long time. Kyle was above and beyond this man I would never let go. If I were you and if I ever open a company like yours, I will be headhunting for him. Great job. Never lost his temper. Were you having a little problem? As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to have to have work done that I'm trying to push off but with this guy I believe that I should just do it with him. I actually trust this guy and I recommend this company. I really have never seen a person go as above and beyond as Kyle did for me
This was our first time using High-Vac Air Conditioner Services. We are beyond impressed with the level of competence, politeness, professionalism, knowledge and straight forwardness we experienced. This an honest A/C company which in Florida, is not very common. I knew what the problem with our unit was and it was exactly they said the problem was. No games or gimmicks from two technicians we dealt with. They came out the same day and took care of the issue within an hour. Truly thankful we found them. We will be using them going forward and highly recommend High-Vac Air.
This company is great! From regular servicing I have with them every 6 months, to my recent request of having my AC coils cleaned. Our technician Raiko, was punctual and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. My ac coils DEFINITELY needed cleaning and as a first time homeowner, these are things you don't know about but must be done. He gave me such great insight on my AC unit, what he recommends for us to keep up with the care of it and did an AMAZING job. Highly recommend this company and highly recommend Raiko as your technician. 5 stars!!
My 10 year old Air conditioning gave up. I searched around for quotes and the prices were crazy. I got lucky i stopped at the gas station in sunrise and i saw one of the HI-VAC trucks. Got the contact information. Same day Joseph DiCresce showed up to my home. He explained in detail all our options. Very honest and helpful. We got a new AC system installed for a really good price. My electric bill literally is now half of what it was before. After it was done Joseph followed up with a visit and verified everything. Thank you HiVAC and Joseph!
Peter was awesome! I’m 68 years old and had many dealings with many air-conditioning companies and technicians. By far, he is the best. a young man with communication skills, which is a rarity these days, and his technical skills were on par with his communication skills. I can’t say enough about him. He deserves a substantial raise, and if I ever have any further dealings with the company, which I’m sure I will in the future, I would like to specifically ask for Peter. Knowledgeable, friendly, and an expert with his subject matter.
Both of my AC units went down over night. My neighbor recommended this company and said they were punctual, honest and always did a great job. I called them and they sent a technician out the very next morning. His name was Raiko. He was diligent and got both of the units back to working condition in no time at all. He took pictures of everything and then took the time to explain everything to me. I was very grateful and will recommend this company to anyone based on my experience. The units are back to working perfectly today.
We recently hired a new AC company for the installation of a new unit, and we were thoroughly impressed. Their professionalism and courtesy truly exceeded our expectations. Our salesman, Joe, was exceptionally professional, kind, and attentive, and he offered us the best price out of five different companies. The quote we received was not only competitive but also detailed and easy to understand. The installation team was fantastic as well, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend them!
From start to finish, the team was professional, informative, and a pleasure to work with. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the installation process smooth and stress-free. The follow-up after the install was just as impressive — they made sure everything was running perfectly and that I was fully comfortable with the new system. The AC itself works wonderfully, and I couldn’t be happier with the service and experience overall. Highly recommend!
We can’t recommend enough the high quality and professional service of Hi-Vac Air Conditioning. If you’re on the fence about getting a new HVAC unit, and who to use, look no further than this wonderful company. Everything from start to finish with seamless, efficient, and perfect! We are enjoying our new system, and are so thankful to have worked with a wonderful team. We would like to thank Joe, Courtney, William, Fernando, Joe, Peter, and the rest of the great team at Hi-Vac Air Conditioning!
I’ve been a loyal customer of HI-VAC Air Conditioning Service for over 15 years. Their technicians are knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly, if I have questions or concerns they always address them immediately. I highly recommend HI-VAC Air Conditioning Service Conditioning Service they are reliable and professional. Raiko was extremely helpful and efficient. With the proper maintenance plan your Unit will operate efficiently and last longer, my last unit lasted almost 20 years.
HI-VAC has been maintaining my a/c unit for many years now. Excellent service, easy to schedule service and the technician is availability is great. I recently had a new a/c unit installed. It was the day after the technician outlined the issues with my old unit (10 yrs old and the compressor was about to go out) vs purchasing a new one. The sales person came by the same day and I decided to go ahead and get a new one. The installation went well and they did a great job.
HI-VAC Air Conditioning Service was the most Professional of the 4 Air Conditioning Companies that we contacted to replace our "Water Sourced" Air Conditioner - by far . We wanted a reliable unit as our last 3 AC units averaged 5 years before they failed or were too expensive to repair. We chose a TRANE from HI-VAC . This the most expensive Brand. I did the math - If it lasts 6 1/4 years it will cost the same as if I bought the least expensive Brand that quit in 5 years.
Thank you Hi-Vac, the appointments were on scheduled, the quote was competitive, the installation was professional and very polite technician. After one week of running out A/C, Jo our salesman came to review the installation and proposed modifications to get better performance from the A/C. The technician was here 2hrs later and proceeded with the recommended modifications with no additional charges. I recommend Hi-vac for their professionalism and fairness in trading A/C
My air conditioner died on a Sunday night. It was definitely time to replace my 15-year-old equipment.The following day, Joe came to my house and gave me a fair quote for a Trane replacement system. I got the 10 year equipment and labor warranty.The following morning at 8 AM the crew was at my house removing the old equipment. By 9 AM they were already installing the new equipment. By 1 PM the system was up and running. This Is an excellent HVAC company. Thank you.
We just had a Trane a/c installed and couldn't be happier with the product and service we received. Checked other options, but found they had the best price. Installation was very efficient and expertly done. The variable speed motor is a quantum leap in terms of constant and consistent comfort. For hot South Florida weather, nothing beats a Trane; and Hi-Vac elevates the entire experience with great customer service and product expertise. Thank you,
Thank you HVAC for sending Brandon to figure out why my system was not functioning correctly. As soon as he heard my concerns and checked out the system, he knew immediately what needed to be done to correct the problem. He explained it well and proceeded to get it up and running. He also shared what needed to keep it running in the future. Thank you Brandon, for a job well done. I would like to request Brandon for any future services I may need.
I called this morning with a problem with my air conditioner and I got immediate service. A half hour after my phone call the technician was at my door. He did a thorough check and evaluation of my problem and it was fixed within an hour. The technician explained what the problem was and how he fixed it and I am a very satisfied customer. I have been with Hi Vac for 15 years and have always had great service and knowledgeable technicians

We had two companies basically rip us off before Anthony and his crew with Andreas and Chris showed up. On time. Professional. And right away realized that our system just needed a tuneup and not to be replaced. We were prepared to spend thousands and they just presented and sold us what needed to be done. they are clearly honest and that is very important in the HVAC industry here in South Florida. We will be using them for everything.

Purchased my home in April 2022 and a key selling point was a new RunTru by Trane package unit installed by Hi Vac not six months before. As it turned out, RunTru was more like RunNot. The unit had problems almost immediately after I moved in which continued through July of this year: frozen coils, leaks, multiple failed TXVs, failed blower motor…the list goes on. Hi Vac was utilized for each repair and I paid for the annual maintenance plan. Despite the ongoing issues including several long stretches with no cooling, growing costs once the labor warranty expired, and some hit or miss customer service experiences, I remained a loyal customer until this summer because they had great reviews and I like supporting family owned businesses. This May the unit had frozen coils (again) and I was told the TXV needed to be replaced (again) even though it was just replaced in December. Paid for that fix. A week later not cooling again. This time it was the capacitor. Paid for that fix. Then I woke up one morning in June to no cooling again. The coils were frozen over (again) and this time I was told there was a leak behind the coils but the part wasn’t available in FL. They added coolant and told me that would last until the real fix. It lasted a day. Temperatures in my home reached 90F with 60% humidity. I was then informed that the needed part would take at least three weeks to be manufactured but they would send two portable ACs for use in the meantime. Great. When I went a week without cooling previously no such offer was made, so I was appreciative of this improvement. I was promised that the tech would set up the ACs and make sure the house was sealed up around the units. Should have known it was too good to be true. The ACs smelled like mold and I spent another two hours after the tech left actually sealing up my home because he left gaping holes exposed to outside with both set ups and I almost had a large lizard in my master bedroom. But the real final straw was the call with John in service earlier that day. As he explained the three week timeline, I asked if it didn’t make more sense to consider a new unit given the ongoing poor performance of this unit. Instead of offering some sort of discount for a new unit or connecting me with sales to keep me with Hi Vac the response was “well, you know you’d have to come out of pocket for that.” No kidding?! So I did just that with a different company in early July because it was clear that Hi Vac did not value me as a customer and was not interested in retaining any part of my business.
Our first experience seemed to be a good one - but the latest leaves me questioning everything. They were timely in arrival came out and looked at the unit and told us that because of the age of the unit replacement parts were a challenge. Quoted us 4k for a solution that may not work long term so we replaced the unit. 13k for a new unit and signed a service contract to have them routinely manage our units. Fast forward 8 months when the other unit “goes out”. Quick arrival, same story as before - 4k for replacement coils that may or may not hold and 15k for a new unit. Sounded WAY too familiar so we called someone else to look at it. They came and said the unit wasn’t working because the filter (on the afore mentioned service plan) was filthy. Fixed for a 60 dollar service fee. No unit needed. Please know, we tried to resolve this concern directly and asked only that our service fees be reimbursed (after 3 calls to get someone who could “help us”). They refused AND are still requiring we call to cancel. Buyer beware - my first positive review was under the impression this was an honest company. Might have saved myself 13k the first go around.
Please take this as a warning... This company sold a unit to my wife via Home Depot that poor quality and workmanship is a compliment. 5 days later the nightmare started with the first service call ... yes 5 days. Less than a month. had to come out again and replace the entire Air Handler. 6 months after they had to come out again to replace the evap coil... follow by several calls because the unit was not cooling and always charging us to add Freon. A year after again out here removing the coil and removing all damaged insulation From the workmanship. 7 days later had to call because the AC was leaking, work order says they replaced the drain pan all they did was try to putty the crack never replaced. Just found out they installed a 5 ton air handler with a 4 ton outside unit. Please be very careful . My poor wife had was completely taken for a fool by this company. Please be careful!!!!
Bought a brand new Carrier central system from this company because of the great warranty and brand name. When my air handler failed and was still under warranty, I was so glad for my selection. But when this company told me that it was $110 for them to come out and another $500 for a ten minute flat rate labor to replace the failed part that was “under warranty”, that’s when I knew that, although I choose the right brand, I definitely didn’t choose the right company. They had no shame in telling me that 600 dollars to spend 10 minutes to change out a part that was under warranty. Even if they do come out in a timely manner, I could never recommend a place that over charges like this! I paid in full like the good customer I am, but I won’t ever be using this place again. Thanks for ripping me off Hi-Vac!
So I booked an appointment with Joe for a Friday. He comes and takes pictures of the area...seems nice. Joe tells me that he'll have a quote to me by Monday. Monday comes around and no quote, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and so on...no quote. He finally decides to call me back weeks later. Tells me...oh I've been busy and I won't be able to give you quote for a couple more weeks. This is hilarious. Then tells me he wouldn't even be able to install until the summer of 2022. Maybe this is a good company and just has a bad employee but either way I let a guy come into my home, take pictures, walk around my home and it was all for absolutely nothing. Thanks Joe! 🙂
I would give 0 star if I could. First , I schedule service on Saturday for leaking search and repairing (AC not cooling after they add refrigerant less than 2 months), they promise 11:00--15:00, but they never arrived until 16:00 Second, they couldn't find leaking point , also couldn't fix leaking still charging leaking search fee. " You need understand, can not find leaking reason commonly happened,our technical man have performed service, so you still need pay full ,that's our rules ......." , Yeah, they did charged us because they supply leaking service without Results, will Avoid them forever.......
I purchased a “New”Tranes unit with Hivac in June 2020 Since November 20,2023 I had encountered 3 issues with the Unit and no working A/C. Warranty ran out and as of today I have no working A/C unit and Joshua the owner of the company refuse to have anything to do with me or the A/C unit I have no Freon in a Brand New Unit I was told there was a leak by one of their employees and documented No one came to fix it although they were out here 3 times in 3 years Warranty was valid at the time I am disabled Vet suffering with medical issues Can someone please advise me
Have been using them for years, however their services has deteriorated. They replaced 4 AC for me over the past year and everyone has been a problem. They are constantly going back out to fix problems after problems.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with HiVac Air. Choosing a new air conditioner felt overwhelming at first, I did a ton of research and had about 10 different companies come out to give quotes. But from the moment I met Joe DiCresce, I knew this company was different. Joe didn’t feel like a salesman at all. He truly cared about helping us make the right choice for our home and our needs. He explained everything so clearly and with so much patience, and what really impressed me was that he gave us his best price upfront no games, no pressure, just honesty. And even when we had lots of questions, he never rushed us. He was always kind, professional, and easy to reach anytime we needed him. When it came time for the installation, Stephon and Sabastian showed up right on time. They were respectful, neat, and took their time to make sure everything was done perfectly. You could tell they took pride in their work. From start to finish, this was such a smooth, positive experience. I’m truly grateful for the care and professionalism from everyone at HiVac Air, and I’ll gladly recommend them to my friends, neighbors, and anyone looking for honest, high quality service. Thank you so much!
