Iv been using East Coast Air for over 10 years and they have been nothing short of amazing. I have a few rental properties and every time I call them they come the same day or if it’s later in the afternoon they come early the next day. All the workers are very professional and courteous and always clean up after themselves. Prices are very fare and they always point you in the right direction in other words they won’t put a bandage on your unit and fix it for a month so they have to come back. if you need something done that will save you money in the long run they will recommend it so it’s less out of your pocket in the future. Also if your parts are under warranty they will get the parts for you and just charge the labor costs to install it. It’s hard to find good help these days so it’s nice to have a company that is responsible and not trying to take advantage of you and I feel like East Coast Air is that company you can trust. I have many times and would recommend them to anyone and have always had great feedback from the people that I have recommended them to.
I want to share how satisfied I am with East Coast Air Conditioning & Refrigeration. Today the technician came to complete the maintenance on my AC system. The plan includes two visits per year and they check and clean everything. He cleaned the air handler which includes the coils, fan motor area and the drain system which keeps the water flowing and keeps algae from forming and clogging the system. Then he went outside and cleaned the unit. He washed out the debris, the coils and drain. This is the second maintenance contract for my AC as I purchased my AC over 5 years ago from East Coast and it still looks like it's brand new. I see the value in maintaining my unit so it will continue to work efficiently. I want to recommend having a maintenance plan as I am so happy that I don't have to worry about drain clogging or the unit not performing at its peak as I know this plan gives me confidence during these exceptionally hot months. Thanks East Coast Air for keeping me cool and problem free!❄️
This is a delayed review on my part. We purchased a new AC unit in march in worry about our old air conditioning unit giving out over the summer. My husband did a lot of research looking up companies with a good reputation and good reviews. We were not disappointed with the installation of the air. We did have to have someone come an additional time to do the dry wall repair, which I think may have been a subcontractor. He did not show up on the first day he was supposed to. I had to have the appt rescheduled and he showed up promptly on that day. He did a good job but was not overly pleasant. We had a hiccup with financing, however, I will say, they rectified the situation impressively. I am a stickler for transparency and I will say, they stood by their word in the end. That was super impressive to me in today's world. Additionally, as I know I can speak very sharp at times, the office manger was very pleasant at all times. We highly recommend East Coast Air.
I initially called for a service of my air-conditioning however when the technician arrived, my unit was too old and it was a highly recommendation that I obtain a ac new unit they sent me quotes for different types of units and recommended one for my townhouse. The technician was very patient with me with all my many questions and asked them to the best of his ability. I was given an opportunity to use their hundred percent financing. which help with my decision to continue with their services even the day of installation there was a technical problem not a fault of theirs, but they stayed on site until it resolved until 9:00 pm The technician had to call his superior to come out to assist him. They were very friendly. They cleaned up after themselves and I can highly recommend using their services. hundred percent completely satisfied, Phelen
My husband and I were pleased to find East Coast Air. They were the only company we could find that would service our aging Mitsubishi mini split systems. I was able to locate manufacturer parts that are no longer stocked as standard practice in most dealer warehouses, and East Coast Air installed them successfully. They have also come out for some minor adjustments and been fairly responsive. Further to that, one of the best decisions we ever made was to sign up for their service plan for our two mini split systems. They respond to calls almost immediately and the service is fabulous. I can't say enough positive about the tech who most recently visited us on two occasions, Armando Silva. A great tech and a wonderful human being!
Extremely knowledgeable and professional. I chose East Coast after. I interviewed 4 other a/c companies. East Coast stood out with their superior experience and willingness to "do right" by the customer. East Coast was the only company that researched my equipment and found it was still under warranty. All other companies want to to pay an extra $600 to purchase a new part. East Coast clearly stood out from the others and were also very prompt , completing the repair the same day. Aaa++++
I contacted this company through Angie and the response was immediate. They came to replace my AC unit in less than 24 hrs and I also got zero percent interest financing in less than 5 minutes. I’m very happy with the work crew who was very professional and efficient. The sales manager that came to my home was great throughout the process. They truly have a whole team working together round the clock for you. I highly recommend them!
I contacted East coast Air Conditioning and spoke to Scott, it was a fast process the next day the air conditioning tech Chris came out and assist me he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I found out I needed a new unit. Make a long story short Jimmy was the final technician that came out and he was also friendly and knowledgeable. This company is very good and I recommend them to anyone. Thank you for making the process easy
When my HVAC failed, I called East Coast and they were able to send a technician by the next morning. Fixing it was a major project but the team at East Coast helped me navigate it with ease and made a stressful moment in life much more manageable. They always pick up the phone and speak plainly and honestly about your services needs. If you have any HVAC issues I would heavily recommend giving them a call 🙂
★★★★★ Outstanding Service from East Coast Air! I had an excellent experience with East Coast Air! From scheduling the appointment to completing the job, the entire process was smooth and professional. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They diagnosed the issue quickly and had my A/C running perfectly in no time.
Called them on Friday afternoon for a quote and had everything installed a few days later. Very fair price compared to some outrageous quotes we received along with deceptive sales tactics but more important was how professional the technicians were and the customer service follow up the next day. Would highly recommend this organization!
Called East Coast and within a few minutes Scott the owner called me back. There was a coolant leak in my A/C unit. It was not repairable. I had called several companies and they all agreed. Within one day East Coast had a new unit installed by two qualified technicians. It’s up and running now. All don with a competitive price
Came home from work and our AC was not working. Called and were told repairman would be here in 90 min or less and he was. AC was back up and running perfectly in about 45 minutes. Chris was our repairman and he was very nice and quickly identified and fixed the problem. All good things. Highly recommend this company.
Buenas tardes , 🤗 agradecida con todos en esta empresa no los nombraré a todos para no herir susceptibilidades gracias por ayudarme les estaré eternamente agradecida hoy dormiré tranquila gracias a ustedes, me brindaron todo su apoyo Dios los bendiga infinitamente 😘 💕 🙏
I purchased a new ac from East Coast Air. They showed up on time. Covered our floors, wore shoe covers and masks while in our home. They cleaned up after they finished. From start to finish was a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone who needs air conditioning service.
Thomas came right in heard exactly what I needed him to fix. He went straight to the problem without giving me a bunch of diagnostic BS and fluff. The air conditioner is working perfectly fine and I’m cooling again. That’s the kind of service I want not upsells & bs.
The technician was on time and explained in details what was needed to repair my mom's ac. I received a quote that was fair and scheduled an appointment for service. Professional, quality service and customer focused is what you will get when you hire this company.
After completing the request online everything else went smoothly, scheduling appt and the day of. The company owner came to discuss options, he was clear and honest and gave us a good price for two mini split unit. Waiting on the units to be installed. Thank you!!!
The tech was very cordial, diligent, and professional. Other companies just come and leave in 20 min, not the East Coast AC. They train the techs to perform a very thorough maintenance. The tech spend more than an hour cleaning and checking the system in and out.
Jose was very Knowledgeable and thorough on his work. Was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend him to others.👍🏻 He did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend East Coast Air. Also Scott the owner was a pleasure to deal with.👍🏻
Always there in the hour of need. Always there to maintain and give you great service. Fair, honest and very professional.cold AC, Get the maintenance plan to prevent any unexpected problems and to extend the life of your air conditioner
These guys are amazing!! AC went out at 7 PM... they were at my home by 7:30... NO EMERGENCY SERVICE FEE BULL!!! Roberto was a great guy friendly & professional & honest!! Will NEVER use any other company!! Truly the good guys!!
East Coast did a great job, very professional, quiet and knowledgeable. Techs were great. Vanessa and Steve in the office are real people, and will work with you. I am Very happy ! They replaced the air handler and condensing unit.
Have used Eastcoast AC for regular AC systems maintenance for years as I find their skilled technicians responsive and through. In latest situation, after hours their response was under 2 hours and repair was quickly carried out.
My AC is three years old. I had it cleaned and had problems with one room being too warm. Vanessa set up an appointment for Scott to come out. IT WAS A SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT! Thank you VANESSA AND SCOTT. THANK YOU EAST COAST AC.!
I have their annual maintenance plan. I called with a small issue and they were out very quickly to fix my problem. The tech was great and explained everything he looked at and resolved my problems quickly. Highly reccomend
The best. They do a thorough job. Reasonable prices. Arrive on time. Professional. The company in the office are nice respectful. My technicians today were Gaston and Jose. Last year Armando and Jonathan, excellent.
Gaston was so thorough in our service. He took the time to make sure everything in our unit as well as the roof , gave me great advice on how to get the right size filter and flushed everything out!! Very happy
Ive been with East Coast for 4 ywars and they should be the Air conditioning company you call when your HVAC system is not working. There extremely reliable, fast and offer very reasonable pricing. Brian
Several dispatches and the new installation performed by East Coast Air still has issues. The photos included show the shoddy workmanship on first dispatch. Plywood foundation installed by them went from being a single sheet of ply to 5 or 6 poorly paired pieces of ply. Air leaked out of every 1/4" to 1/2" gap. I later caulked it hoping it would help. Second dispatch was because the AC stopped working the same evening of the day of the install. That was due to a missing cap on the condensation outlet that caused an issue with pressure and suction. They came, placed the cap and tested levels. Third was to pick up the pile of concrete left behind from the wrecked out pad originally there. Thinking about it now, the original was probably up to code and was replaced with a pad with a Styrofoam core. Fourth dispatch (I think) I was reporting water pudding up in the power cab of the air handler. They also applied mastic to riser duct to the ceiling. I talked about the fans blowing hard and maybe that's why I had all the humidity. I was told I could get in there and change the fan speed myself if it continued to be a problem. 5th (Reinstall) humidity was so high and all of this cold air was blowing out the backside of the unit I requested a reinstallation, including replacing the ply wood they oringally installed. This final attempt( the installer showed up two hours past the appointment window) is when they failed to tape the backside once again and only applied a thin layer of mastic on the right side. They also never replaced the insulation in the intake like they said they would and never gave me air filters for the unit they said they would. They banged up the unit some, too. They never applied foil tape to any of the seams at the base of the air handler. Other photos show mildew now built up, tape and insulation I had placed to seal leaks, insulation around the pipe going in that was left off that I replaced, the missing grommet at the end of the pipe that was burnt off at the install, missing mastic, thin mastic, wet wood, missing clamp off the electrical flex duct. After experiencing 70% humidity in my house during the weekend, and discovering untaped and gaps within the insulation, I was fed up. I called for a refund on labor. During the last phone conversations they offered me $350 and requested a 7th opportunity to come out to "finally" tape up and apply mastic to the duct located above the air handler which goes to the ceiling. Initially, I agreed, however after hanging up with Scott, the owner, I reflected on our conversation and my experiences, I called back and canceled. After realizing that 5 or 6 dispatches for a new and simple install, after being talked down to, after being cut off midsentence several times(once I was hung up on by Chris), I was done with them. Scott had started getting snippy and loud on the phone and I told him to take it down a notch, which then I was accused of being too "chill" of a guy and that's just his personality. Then later I was told I had a "type A personality" and that my story didn't match up and I didn't know what I want. Funny how I went from "chill" to "type a". After reading some of the negative reviews that aligned with my experience(despite several overwhelmingly positive reviews), I decided I couldn't trust these guys back in my house. Which, of course offended him...probably because there are other reviews claiming theft. He likely assumed that's why I didn't want him back. Every time they came out I was accommodating. Offered water, sandwiches, left them alone most of the install so they could do their job. Offered snacks and juice boxes to the installer's kid when the installer brought his kid for the 2nd attempt of this installation. Yeah, that happened. I'm a nice guy. Howvever I got tired of being taken advantage of, got tired of taking days off from work for these guys, and got tired of Scott's mouth. Maybe he'll learn how to talk and listen to people after this one.
They don’t know what the heck they are doing. AC was broken for 3 weeks because the tech told us that the part that was needed to fix the unit needs to be ordered. They took $1000 and when my dad called the owner to get an update because 3 weeks with no AC in South Florida is literally crazy… the guy had no idea about what ‘part’ that was needed let alone that we had a pending order to be fixed. When they finally come to fix it $3000 later, it still wasn’t working properly. So today my brother calls the company back and the guy starts THREATENING my brother and saying the most wildest things that you should never say to a customer who just paid $3k for basically nothing… so crazy to believe they’re in business. In my field of work, I have several vendors that could easily do the job quicker, cheaper and more efficiently due to the Tenure of business relationships I’ve created ALONG WITH RESPECT. However, we used East Coast Conditioning because they’ve been the company to do our AC work at home for as long as I can remember. Rest assured, we’ll be taking our business elsewhere. Disgraceful company. Save your $$$ and call elsewhere.
Update: We have received several second opinions as to our air-conditioning issues, and both companies referred to a poor installation job as being part of the issue as to why our air conditioning units are not functioning properly. We’ve had ongoing issues with the new units installed by East Coast Air. From poor communication to frustrating warranty and service experiences, it’s been a nightmare from start to finish. They rarely arrive or call when promised, and the cost of repairs on their own installations is nearly as high as replacing the units altogether—leaving us both frustrated and disappointed. They’re quick to make the sale, but be cautious about what happens afterward. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company.
They Installed my system a couple of years ago. On Saturday night The unit was not cooling. Reached out to them via text on their site just to deal with an AI agent. Continue texting on my phone and at about noon I texted for an ETA AI gave me a phone to call to get immediate answers. I called just to talk to another AI agent which try to simulate a human making noise on a keyboard. AI agent told me she was going to escalate so someone would call me. Well didn't get a call and finally gave up by 3 PM. Call another company and they were here within the hour and the job was done in no time. Well AI did its job and hopefully will give their human owners feedback on how not to loose customers.
You sent somebody so young they didn't have any experience. once he arrived he had to call somebody to walk him through the steps to check the hot water heater. after 15 or 20 minutes he said my problem was in my pipes. In my pipes? then he put a supervisor on the phone and that guy continue to talk and talk and talk and basically said the issue was probably, probably in my shower head or faucet. The issue was never resolved and they charged me $185. needless to say I won't be using them again. Terrible experience
A poor experience that continues. 11 months after $9000 system replacement, which was a dissappointment, the system failed. Contacting them for a service call is impossible due to the AI agents controlling both the text and phone communication. So far, 15 hours with no response. So, if you want to pay top dollar for a mediocre job that fails in under a year, sleep with no AC and get ignored when requestong service, then you will love this company.
Deplorable. I spent 7K for a new AC two years ago and it just failed. They are seriously asking for $2,200 more to repair. Go somewhere else.
Rude, will not return calls and even hung up on me. Installed my a.c. incorrectly and caused water to drain inside and ruin wood flooring.
As I sit here in the 90 degree house, I am grinding my teeth about this company. I picked them to do an urgent 3 ton typical residential replacement 11 months ago. Just got home for being away and half of the house is hot and wet because the system failed. I started calling at 4:45. Still no response. Worse yet, their on call answering system and contact system at the website are AI. Total mess! Worse yet. Never wanted them to do the job, but it was urgent, my wife was just out of major surgery, and our go-to AC company needed more time. Compared to some of the bigger players around, these guys are not comparable. The finished job is not even close. I did not find all of the air handler pieces left behind until a month later. My wife was the priority at the time, not cleaning up for this bunch. They swiped my GPS NBPI device inside the existing AHU. When the owner visited, he was condescending. He totally ignored two requests that I made, and foolishly thought we were getting. The installation took place on a stormy day and the crew had to handle the attic heat and outdoor downpours. As is normal, we tipped them in cash and beer. Little did we know what was left behind. Bottom lines 1. The human answering the phone at our go to AC company is at work, just talked to them. Not a peep from east coast after hours. 2. We paid a premium for them because of a difficult situation. In hindsight, looks like they took advantage which is very sad. 3. We should have stayed out of the house either with friends or a hotel so that we could have waited for the real Pros. So, be aware of east coast. They do not deliver the value that some other companies provide at a minimum. Worse, is that they do not have a business that support products after installation. Very sad.
Wish there was a "0" rating. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT HIREBTHIS COMPANY. READ OUR EXPERIENCW BELOW ON A BRAND NEW UNIT THEY INSTALLED AND PEOBLEMS BEGAN IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. "The agreement which was agreed upon was violated 12 months before it's completion.I called your office yesterday to inquire about scheduling service as per agreement,unfortunately I was disrespected by your employee,I was questioned as to why this special agreement of 30 months was initiated,I was disrespectfully told by same employee after requesting to leave a message for you that no message would be taken because you will not respond to me.Over the past months I was always contacted by someone in your office to schedule service,conveniently,to violate the agreement without notification I was never called,not by an employee or an automated system.I contacted you this morning and in our conversation you repeated and reinforced the disrespectful unprofessional conduct exhibited by your employee prior by stating,you will not respond to my email and because I was notified by an automated system for 12 months of which I wasn't,you will no longer honor the agreement.Your intent to violate this agreement is deliberate and premeditated,for such reasons I am requesting an additional 12 months of service and the disrespectful and unprofessional employee be reassigned or terminated.Prior you notified me,that you will not respond to my email therefore I am not expecting one,I am looking for action or inaction.
This company is trying to charge me $1600 for replacing a condenser fan motor, they came out to my residence and lied about the defective components in my AC condenser unit. Another company already diagnosed the issue to be a defective condenser fan motor and quoted $450 for the repair. East coast AC, stated that the capacitor was defective and under seized for my unit, which was a lie, for the capacitor was just replaced by a certified York dealer less than two months ago. They also quoted ridiculous amounts for other non-needed parts. So I requested that they send me pictures of the defective units, along with pictures of the replacement units prior to the work be done. But, they never complied with my request. And now my AC has failed again in three attempts from this dubious company. I used them because my York dealer was over-booked.
Touted financing . Price very high . I just got out of the hospital , not feeling well or thinking clearly . Read bad reviews, he spoke poorly about other competitors . I called to cancel . Many times . I called Syncronicty Bani . I have so many emails about requests for additional credit cards ? Scott Smith tried to intimidate me . Stating I fired him , I'm not a priority , I'm taking food off his table, and his workers . He purposely has not emailed me . It's 400 am , I'm very upset . He's a desperate Business owner . Who would want to do anything with him ' He called himself all the names he hurls at others ! I have no business with his company ' Shame on this Scott for no follow up , a hostile attitude and lying about a fee from the bank
Very poor service all round. Taking them to small claims court for coil charges that was never installed or delivered. Repeated calling no credible response. Great at setting appointments, no show 98% of appointments. Try another company.
Have to say if you ever decide to use them please note they are HORRIBLE on time Windows. Gave me a time Windows from 11:30am - 1pm. Its 3pm and the tech sill isn't here. WILL NEVER HIRE THEM AGAIN! My times is just as valuable as yours.
Rude, won't return calls and even hung up on me. They installed my a.c. incorrectly and also blocked half the coils. Water drained inside the house and ruined my wood flooring.
In response to Mr Smith's claim that he doesn't recall my particular job, here's a copy of the invoice to refresh his memory and prove to everyone else what a liar he is.
Deplorable. I spent 7K with them two years ago on a new AC unit. It just failed and they seriously want 2.2K to repair despite the warranty. Go somewhere else.
They gave me a two hour window and never showed or called until 15 minutes after the window passed. Very unprofessional
Purchased in December 2023 Good installation March 2024 (4 months) Unfortunately, my permit is still open. They said they did not have an employee to meet the inspector at my apartment. The door was left open for them, as I told him in advance, I would not be home. I'm sure this will eventually get sorted.

***** - Absolutely recommend. Will use them again without hesitation. I had an outstanding experience with East Coast Air Conditioning and want to give them the praise they deserve. After calling several other A/C companies, (many of whom didn’t even answer the phone or told me it would take days to get someone out) East Coast Air picked up on the first ring and told me they could have a technician out in just a couple of hours. They not only showed up quickly, but also diagnosed the issue immediately and had the needed part in stock at their nearby warehouse. Despite it being after hours for most companies, they completed the repair the same day!! The technician was friendly, explained everything clearly, and left me feeling informed and taken care of. What really impressed me was that they went the extra mile to follow up with me the next day and even provided detailed documentation directly to my insurance company so I could file a claim under my equipment breakdown coverage. Living in South Florida, going without A/C for very long just isn’t an option. It gets way too hot, way too fast! I’m also very picky about customer service and often find myself disappointed these days. But East Coast Air blew me away with their professionalism, speed, and follow through. Once I find the right company, I’m a lifelong customer, and I’ve definitely found that here.
