Update 8/29/2026: had a plumbing issue in my attic that I thought was a a/c issue, due to water coming out of the a/v vent in the ceiling. Miguel Martinez came out and told me it was a plumbing issue and showed me the photos. Miguel was very professional and respectful with his approach and explained everything in great deal. The plumbing technician George Reyna was equally as professional, respectful, and trustworthy. He explained the repairs efficiently and provided me photos of the work he did in my attic. He took his time answered my questions and I felt very comfortable with his work and his thoroughness with the job. And I had this same experience 4 years ago when they installed my ac unit. When you need quality service and work done, I wouldn’t hesitate on calling colair again. Tremendous experience with the company and highly satisfied with the a/c system installation completed. Very professional, thorough job done. Eli and frankie were honest, explained the work, and did an amazing job. They took their time and made sure the job was done correctly and that I was satisfied with their work prior to leaving. Dealing with hector was also a positive experience.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for appreciating our HVAC service, Rolando! This review gives us encouragement to do more in our jobs. We hope to see you again in the future.
