What does the $40 deposit cover?

The $40 measurement appointment fee was stated as non-refundable, though reviewers reported conflicting information about whether it applied toward final installation costs.

How long do installation projects typically take?

One reviewer's window replacement order from 2022 remained incomplete through April 2024, though this was described as mismanaged. Timeline reliability appears unreliable.

What recent reviews say

Installation services consistently fail to deliver: late arrivals, missed appointments, massive cost overruns after low initial quotes, and multi-year project delays. Staff attitudes range from dismissive to condescending, though returns counter employees stand out as respectful.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Strong ratings mask serious cracks in execution. While some technicians deliver professional, timely work on AC installs and simple repairs, reviewers report recurring failures: multi-week unresolved service calls, no-shows after confirmation, inflated pricing (plumbing quoted at $900-$1200 for work done elsewhere for $225), poor installation (drain pans not level, broken hardware, permitting gaps), and a stated culture shift toward commission-driven upselling rather than honest repair. Several long-term customers abandoned the company after years of maintenance marked them as easy marks for unnecessary replacements.
