Troy was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and customer oriented. He went out of his way to help my family and as a result we have found a regular AC Guy. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

I am pleased to recommend the services of Hare's Heating and A/C. I notified Troy of my problem and he provided service that same day. Not only did he fix the problem he also noted potential future problems and made the corrections. Troy was very knowledgeable in the field of heating and air conditioning. Thanks so much.

I was very impressed that Troy came out to see me the day I called with my ac problem, it was probably 10pm. It was too dark to do the work he needed to do so he returned the next afternoon. He didn't try to push a new unit on me.

Troy Hare went above and beyond to get our a/c fixed on the hottest day of the year(111 with the index)! He worked into the night, getting us up and running! He even went to his warehouse to get the part we needed when anyone else would have said see ya in the a.m. Instead we, our children and pets slept comfortable in our home.

Troy Hare and I are Facebook friends, I had posted a picture of a car part and in the background was my A/C unit. He noticed my suction line iced up and wrote, that's not good brother

I would recommend Troy for anyone who's looking to replace or repair your heating and Air Conditioning needs. Troy was friendly, knowledgeable and honest He returned my call the same day and had a new unit within the week! Can't beat his price and customer service. He was recommended from a trusted friend and I would highly recommend him as well. Thank you Hare's for excellent service!
