Global Air Conditioning, Inc.-An Honest Trustworthy Company

Real Estate Agents strongly recommend that home buyers have a home inspection  when purchasing a home.  The most thorough home inspection can not predict the future.  Mechanical and electrical items sometimes break weeks, months, or years after you have closed on your home.  That is just a fact of life.  Educated homeowners call licensed contractors who specialize in the issue at hand.  You call a trained professional and tend to rely on their recommendation.  Air conditioning systems are the perfect example.  In Florida, the heat and humidity makes air conditioning sales and service a big business but not all companies have the same business ethics.  If your contractor suggests an expensive home repair, always get a second opinion.

Recently, I have had two past customers share their experiences.  The first, had an air conditioning problem and called a local licensed company.  The AC company told them they had a bad blower and wanted to charge them $2,500 for the repair.  I suggested they call Global Air for a second opinion and they did.  The trained technician diagnosed the problem which ended up costing only $300. for the complete repair.  Global Air has a reputation of good business ethics and will only replace units that truly require it.

The second instance, a past customer had an air conditioning problem.  They called a different local licensed company.  The company representative informed the buyer that they had a freon leak and they needed a whole new AC system for many thousands of dollars and charged them $180 for the service call.  We suggested that the customer call Global Air for a second opinion.  Global air diagnosed the problem with the blower, which was under warranty by the manufacturer and the total repair cost was $200.

I am not in the habit of promoting companies, but the honesty and integrity of Jeff Bates, the owner of Global Air Conditioning saved two customers major expenses while providing quick and efficient service to the customer.  The repairs were done professionally at a minimal expense and helped the customer to “keep their cool.”  Call Global Air at 941-488-7776 for your air conditioning and heating needs.

The moral of the story, unless you have a personal history with a company, you should consider a second opinion for any major repair costs.
