My boss had sent me out to make an extra key for our mail box and I went to Home Depot. I happen to pass John S. Meade on the way in and stopped to talk with him as I had an air conditioner on its last legs.

We arrived to our new home in Florida this spring with no air conditioning and it was hot! We contacted Home Depot regarding the ductless air system we wanted and they referred us to Gulf Shore Cooling.

We initially met with Dave Rojas to determine the estimate. The price seemed fair and the system was installed at our convenience. Our new A/C was installed by Charles and Rafael in just over 4 hours.

I had Rob Baker come today to do a check-up on my cooling and heating system. He was one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. He answered all my questions, and was so thorough, and didn't try to sell me things I didn't need.

Bryan, Service Tech @ Gulf Shore Cooling arrived at my home to provide the annual AC system check up. This young man conducted himself in a pleasant positive manner. A great start. Before he entered the home, he placed slip-on shoe covers over his shoes to protect my interior area.
