Good knowlege what he does he gets good explanation the thing that you need to improve for better service in your unit he is a expert. Nick VerhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had an extremely poor experience with Automatic Climate. We had a maintenance service agreement plan with them. Our tech who performed the annual maintenance was great and professional, but the other techs and office staff were very frustrating to work with. Our HVAC stopped blowing cold air one week after our maintenance service. When the tech came out, I asked if it could be the blower motor and he said no. He then misdiagnosed the issue as a refrigerant leak and charged us $1500 for refrigerant and a leak test, which did not fix the issue. He also tried to upsell us on duct cleaning, even though our service one week prior had not indicated we had dirty ducts. Since he did not fix the system, we were without HVAC for an additional day and a half until a different tech would be available. The different tech was able to correctly diagnose and fix the issue, which was in fact the blower motor. I tried to call the office to discuss the billing for the work. I called 5 different times, each time having to explain my issue, and was told that someone would call me immediately. No one ever called me back and this went on for over a week and a half. Finally, I called and someone was able to explain the billing. They ended up charging us for the work that was required to fix the issue with no discount for the misdiagnosis, additional days without HVAC, or the MANY issues trying to get in contact with the office. The misdiagnosis was frustrating and mistakes happen, but the office is disorganized and poor at communicating with their customers especially when dealing with an issue. I would not recommend using Automatic Climate for HVAC services. Scot WirthlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On time, efficient, polite, thorough
