As a business with many AC units, it is essential to have a responsive AC company. Valley Air Conditioning understands our needs. They are always responsive and our AC is up and running very quickly.
I had them do an AC check on the home I was buying, they were honest and quick. I hired them to do the summer and Fall maintenance for $149. Happy with this company!
100% recommend. I called, same day they came out and gave me estimate. Conley was honest and didn't try to recommend/sell us anything we didn't need. When I called him with questions before making a decision, he happily answered and was not annoyed by me contacting him. Conley and VAR
