Air conditioning is one area where the saying “if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself” doesn’t apply.

The machines have so many moving parts that they’ll look like an alien spacecraft when you open them up. It’s also a major safety risk.

That doesn’t mean that everyone who says they can help with your AC is a qualified professional. Their results can be just as bad or worse as if you’d tried to fix the issue yourself.

Read on to learn five signs of a quality Venice AC company.

1. License

All HVAC companies in Florida need to be licensed, but they have several options for which ones to earn.

State Certified Class A licenses allow for AC maintenance and repair anywhere in Florida. Class B licenses are similar but restrict what type of heating and cooling systems they can work on.

Professional Level and Master Specialist Level Certifications are available in Florida with more years of experience. The NATE or North American Technician Excellence Certification is recognized nationwide.

Look for AC repair services that have held the highest quality license possible for the longest time.

2. Experience

A quality AC company has been in the game for a long time. They should know the basics but also be familiar with new trends such as smart thermostats and geothermal and ductless options.

The quality of their experience also matters. A long record of leaving clients with a functioning AC system isn’t enough. Clients should say that they helped while being friendly, charging fair rates, and finishing quickly.

3. Reputation and Reviews

A local Venice AC company will have a positive standing in the community. Ask about them around town and expect to hear about how they’ve helped your friends and neighbors.

91% of customers read online reviews. 84% trust them as much as recommendations from family or friends.

Use various websites, including the service provider’s own, for reviews. See how many of them are positive and focus on what they said made the company so great.

4. Customer Service

Caring for your air conditioner increases the life of the system, makes it more energy efficient, and improves your home’s air quality. This requires regular repairs and preventative maintenance.

Quality customer service makes sure you get this help when you need it. They should also explain their process and respect your home while they work.

5. Pricing

The more thorough an estimate from a local AC contractor is, the better. Be wary if they don’t give you all the details or won’t answer your questions.

A quality company also won’t give you estimates over the phone before seeing the system. They may be inexperienced or trying to get an unreasonably high rate out of you.

You may regret choosing the cheapest option when you see the quality of their work. You’ll have to pay more to fix their mistakes later.

Consider all the factors when deciding what’s a fair estimate. Is their experience, reputation, and customer service worth the price?

Which Venice AC Company Should I Choose?

Certain characteristics set an AC service company apart. They should be licensed and experienced with a positive reputation, quality customer service, and fair prices.

Happy Customers

Sean installed a new heat pump A/C system for us. Less than a day to remove the old system and install the new one. Very professional, made sure we understood the operation and answered all our questions. He also assured us he would be there in the future should we have any concerns or problems. We’re thrilled with the whole process of working with Bowersox and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new A/C system.

Adam was incredibly thorough and very professional. He explained how our system works and how to maintain it properly. He took care of the problem quickly and efficiently. He was also mindful of his surroundings and took care to not create any messes and cleaned up after himself. We were very impressed with his professionalism and his understanding, but most importantly his ability communicate effectively.
We were so pleased with the service that we signed up for a maintenance plan.

Beth R

Brice was great!!! He got us set up with a temporary fix until the part came in which we were so grateful for. Price was less than expected, especially for how great the service was! We will definitely be calling Bowersox for all of our air needs.

Gabriel, our technician, was super! Polite and knowledgeable. He did a great job with our maintenance check up. Cleaned our unit nicely and then we received photos of all he did. Very good service.

Deborah G

Our technician was actually early to the appointment! Unheard of these days! Told us exactly what he was doing, took photos, and sent to us. Gave us additional information on purchasing a new thermostat. Would definitely recommend Bowersox!

Mark was timely and very knowledgeable in resolving the no heat issue we were experiencing with unit installed just a year ago by another company. He very patiently explained the proper working of a humidistat with the AC unit. Very much appreciated his service.

Great installation! Danny and Mike were on time, courteous and meticulous when cleaning up. A very good and professional experience staring with Jon Curtis’s initial visit. Will use Bowersox again.

Jay Mortensen

I cannot express how great a job Pauline did when servicing our Air Conditioner. She took pictures of the inside of the unit and explained in great and very understanding detail as to what she serviced and how the system works. Thanks again. So appreciated. We had to have more work done on the unit. Anthony was very patient and thorough doing the repairs. He was very professional and a good problem solver.

Nor'easter

Dan and Jorge arrived on time to install our new A/C unit. They were presented an unplanned for problem. They patently solved the problem diligently, and the install was completed successfully. Both men were polite and a thorough explanation of the operation was delivered by Dan. We highly recommend Bowersox and this team if you are contemplating a new A/C system.

I highly recommend Bowersox. I scheduled the service call online, it was a quick and easy process. The appointment was scheduled within minutes. The technician, Adam, was thorough in the diagnosis of the problem, repaired the system in less than an hour.

Bowersox team were great. They came on time, it was a big job to replace the outside unit. They did it in a few hours. They kept the place very clean. I highly recommend them for HVAC jobs. The whole job & equipment was under warranty so no cost at all.
