Awesome service. We got our HVAC and furnace replaced. Everything moved much quicker than expected, all appointments were right on time (not early or late), and the technicians were very professional. They left my place cleaner than it was when they showed up. Services: Install AC, Heating system repair, HVAC system maintenance

I have one rental property that we used to live in. The tenant called me today and said their air was out it's a Saturday. I'm out of town. I called Automatic Air, they called me back pretty quickly the technician was out at the property in a half an hour and fixed the air conditioning system for a fair price.

I discovered Automatic Air after a friend told me they had used this company and had a good experience. I shopped around and ended up getting a furnace with them years ago. Eventually my AC went out and needed replacing. After doing research and getting some estimates, I chose Automatic Air again based on customer service and pricing/ product quality. Greg, the owner, has been nothing but helpful. It is a family run business and has been around a long time. I can see why!

Cody was very accommodating in coming to our home late on a cold night when our furnace was intermittent. Apparently there were many service calls because of the very cold weather. After working all day for others he arrived with a cheerful attitude and got right to work. His technical analysis was outstanding. He repaired the problem, offered advice for the future and cleaned and tested are system all in one hour. What a delightful experience! We will definitely call Automatic Air again!

One of our units was non-functioning and another HVAC company we consulted advised us that we would need to replace the entire unit. Neighbors who had used Automatic Air insisted we give them a call, so we gave them a try. Allen from Automatic Air arrived and was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and an excellent technician. He was able to immediately identify the problem and performed a quick, albeit probably only temporary, fix (upon my approval).
He was transparent and very clear about what we could expect and I appreciated his honesty and candor. He also spoke with my husband on the phone to discuss his findings and recommendations, which was much appreciated. Thank you!
