A Hot & Horrible Experience. RCH came on 27 May 2022 to repair my A/C and told me I had a leak and needed freon. The cool temps lasted 5 days and then stopped. It took them over a week to come back out the second time. This visit I was told (as the technician was sprinting out of the house) that my A/C unit is doing all it can do and that the sub level temp was 20 degrees below what it should be(see video and the location of the techs thermometer). All in all the tech beat feet out of my home leaving us with an indoor temp of 82 degrees after there thermostat was set on 67 for over an hour and said this was normal.

My problem was a mis-routed dryer vent pipe and vent cover. In less than 2 1/2 hours the Tec's removed the old vents and redirected the vent to the proper outlet. My thanks to Kyle and Charley for a professional job well done. Service: Repair HVAC

From starting the process of getting a quote working with Ute in the office to having Bobby visit the house to give his thoughts, to working with the installers Ryan, Lee, and Carlos everything was great! I had an old HVAC/duct system that was completely replaced from a 2200 square foot rancher. It was a 5-day process and the team showed up on time every day and completed it in the exact time they said they would. The new system is super quiet and feels like it's pumping out a tornado as compared to the trickle of air from the old one.

I explained to Ricky Hurtt what I was looking for. Then he made it very clear, concise, relaxed presentation of the product he recommended. I compared Daikin to Mitsubishi's Presentation. The products looked alike, had the same warranty, appeared to be alike- With the exception being that the Daikin product was $2600 cheaper. Yay! I always search for the finest value for my money! So far I absolutely love this unit.
Previously I had to cut off the heat pump in the room in order to have a conversation. The airflow is silent and the outdoor unit cannot be heard inside the house if the door is closed. If you open the door to listen to it, it sounds like a small box fan blowing. That is all!

Worked with John at River City and he was really great to work with. He stayed longer than he needed to to try and figure out the problem. When it wasn't that, John kept at it to be sure we would have heat back. And when the part turned out to not be the issue, John went above and beyond to diagnose it and came back a few hours late to fix the issue. River City and John were great to work with!

John was very pleasant, very respectful of my home. John was very thorough in checking my HVAC unit, inside and outside and the thermostat. Although the thermostat was registering, it was giving incorrect readouts. John changed my thermostat and I could immediately feel a difference. Service: Thermostat installation
