We have used Kaminer for many years. We always have excellent service and very skilled techs. This is our second AC system they have installed (this is home #2 we've lived in) and we are always appreciative of their work. Services: Installation, Install AC, Repair HVAC

Every single employee from Kaminer was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. They literally saved us! We inherited a home and unfortunately many of the appliances were not kept up with in years past. One of those things was our A/C, and right as the hot weather hit this year, our A/C started acting strange and we found out the previous installation was completely improper and now on the brink of collapse. Subcontractors were used by the previous owner and we were unable to track down the folks who installed the unit for warranty purposes.

Short story long, Kaminer heating and cooling came out, diagnosed the problems, explained everything in a way that made perfect sense, and within 2 weeks we are now up and running with a brand new A/C and completely repaired duct work from the former company's mistakes. Just in time for the rest of this SC summer. They stand behind their work and the warranty options on parts and labor plus yearly maintenance are affordable and so worth it.

We are extremely grateful to this company and I can't stress enough how kind, patient, and helpful everyone was. From the receptionist to the owner to the work crew, we were treated with nothing but patience and respect. Thank you!

It was a dreaded Sunday HVAC outage, and I'd never worked with anyone I got to choose before (thank you Home Warranty.). Eric was responsive, showed up timely and professionally, and efficiently diagnosed and corrected the issue. I am SO happy I joined the 'club and will be maintaining my system with them in the future! Services: A/C system maintenance, A/C system repair

Kaminer is a family owned business and treat their customers like family. Anytime we may have a concern Kody is on it quickly. Eric is the one and only we allow to take care of our units. He has more than earned our trust over the years and we know without a doubt he's honest and has so much knowledge and proactive suggestions to share. Again, We can't say enough about my Kaminer family.

Eric gave me a thorough understanding of our current unit. He provided a quote for the services we will need. I like that he has happily been with the company for 8 years, and the company is well-established. He was kind and respectful, and he represented the company very well.

VERY impressed with Rusty, the on-call tech who came out when my AC wasn't working. He identified several issues and corrected them quickly and efficiently, and even gave me some tips on things to do before I put my house on the market next year! Service: A/C system repair

Kaminer always does a great job to keep my house cooled and heated. I have been using them for 4 years. They are the best and only service I will use! Highly recommend them! Superior customer service Dennis is very knowledgeable of the business and explained the required service, cost, and timeframe for completion so we were not left guessing or surprised at the end. Work completed on time.

We had been told by another hvac company we had issues with our 4 year old unit and they had been the only service company we had ever used and never in the previous 4 years was told of any issue and now told we need 4-7k worth of work. So we decided its time for a second opinion called in Kaminer Heating and Cooling and met with Cayce, and am I thankful we did call Kaminer.! Cayce was polite and very knowledgeable and actually sat down and took time to explain all of his findings in terms we could understand.

He listened to our concerns and was very easy to work with. Bottom line we did not need all the work our OLD company had recommended and made me very thankful there are still honest people out there! I am so happy I had Kaminer come out and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great honest heating and cooling company!

Couldn't have asked for better service from Kaminer Heating and Cooling. From the owners all the way to the service technician (Rusty) that replaced the coil in our unit.service was top notch. Communication was perfect and consistent, everyone was friendly and knowledgable. We will be using Kaminer from now on. Service: AC repair

Everyone on the Kaminer team did a great job! From evaluating the situation and keeping me informed through each step of the process. They removed the old unit in the attic on a day with 97 degree weather. They went above and beyond what I would have expected and didn't leave until the job was completed, close to 10:00pm! They have been my "go to" company for many years and will be for many years to come. So if you are in need of a HVAC company that will do the job well, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you call Kaminer!

Trayon did an excellent job on my seasonal maintenance check up. He thoroughly cleaned my condenser, verified all electronics were operating within normal limits, provided expert consulting on additional means and methods to pro-long the life and efficiency of my system. He was well mannered, professional and trustworthy. Great Job!

Eric came to our house today during the time that was assigned to us. He greeted us warmly and checked in with us. His service and work were done in a professional manner as he checked our units. We were very pleased with Eric’s work and his service call to our house. We had him at our last check up and requested him again to come today. He represents Kaminer well.

I purchased a service contract with this company, so they have been my default when I have an issue with my heating or cooling system. It is always an issue reaching someone in the office. The message says that it is after regular business hours even when you call during the stated business hours. It is very difficult to get ahold of anyone and the "on call" person doesn't have any info and can't help, only "pass your info/request along." When you finally get someone to come out, they are always trying to upsell unneeded service. On my last diagnostic visit, the technician told me "he didn't know what was wrong but it was going to cost $700 to fix it."

Thanking Kaminer for our air conditioning maintenance. Dennis came and was extremely efficient. Not only did he service the unit, he also noticed a leak under the house. Because of this we can call a plumber and have a problem taken care of before it gets too bad. We’ve used Kaminer since purchasing our house 26 years ago and have found them to be honest, reliable, reasonable and efficient.

When I called in and spoke to Amy about our issue she was so friendly and helpful and was able to get us an appointment ASAP. I love that when the tech is on their way you get a text with their picture and information about them; that’s a super plus. Robert was our tech and he was so nice and professional. Was up front about everything before, during and after the service. I highly recommend using Kaminer for their friendly staff and prompt, no bs service!

Called Kaminer for the first time to see if they could fix my A/C unit which wasn't cooling our upstairs. Not only did they come out the same night, they fixed the problem and got me on a maintenance plan for any future situations. Very professional and courteous and would highly recommend them to anyone. Reasonably price also!!

I have been a customer of Kami era for 30 plus years...if that tells you anything! Being a Monday, I had some issues that I called about first thing and they scheduled Dennis to come over before lunch - luckily I had off today. Once Dennis assessed the problem, he was able to go get the
Art needed and to let me know I also had a plumbing issue under the house...so, luckily I was able to get that problem resolved also. All in all...everything is good and I have some heat back on - hard to believe I am needed heat in April!!!

It's so nice to have someone calling with that gentle reminder to have your unit checked on before the next season comes around. Today Robert paid us a visit and got us ready for those cold days ahead. He exchanged our filter and even washed out the cage for it as well. Now bring on the winter days and nights; we're ready.

I recently was given a quote by Chris from Kaminer. Very professional. Very well informed and really laid out all the options very well. He wore shoe covers before coming in the house! Although I decided to go with another company, I was very impressed by Kaminer's many options and how professional their representative was. Call them. You will be impressed as well.

Called Kaminer to have them check our air conditioning unit. The following day, the technician thoroughly examined the unit outside, checked duct work, coils, etc. Pricing was fair and clearly explained. Technician was courteous and friendly. Will definitely use Kaminer again and recommend their services to friends!

We love Kaminer! We have had the best experience and relationship with them over the past several years. All of their staff are extremely personable, helpful, attentive and of course professional and they have gone above and beyond each time we have needed them. Their service is so personalized, even the owners themselves take the time to go on customer calls, get to you know you and your family personally and will personally call you to go over things. I would highly recommend them to anyone and can't say enough good things about them. If you give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Kaminer HAC!

My air handler on my furnace started making noise at the end of the afternoon on Wednesday and my wife shut it off and called me. When I came home it would not start back up so I called Kaminer whose program I decided to sign up for after having them out a couple of times. The got someone to me by 5 o'clock and diagnosed the problem was a motor failure and even had a motor on the truck that could fix the problem. Robert was my specialist and was very professional and polite as well as patient with my questions. He really knew what he was doing and got it done. Also kudo's to the inside staff who made it happen.

I was surprised when I initially called in and they were willing to schedule someone to come at between 7p, -10pm. But I was even more surprised when they called back and said they had someone that could by around 5:30pm instead.

Kody provided my semi annual service today. I found him very knowledgeable and friendly. He not only discussed, with me, what the service entailed, but we talked a little Clemson football as well! In other words he made me feel like this wasn't just a business visit.

I have been a true fan going on six years. Everyone I've talked on staff to all the Tech's that installed my new system to one guy coming out for emergency at 4 AM to the guys that do my maintenance checks.

It was a pleasure to meet Kody Kaminer today to service our units today. He called and finished another job early so he came on to our home. Checked both units and gave me helpful tips. He was very neat, polite and professional.

Home after a long hot day and our usually cool house was Hot.and it was a Saturday night! Figured we were in for a couple of sweltering days, but started calling around. At Kaminer's number, my husband was pleasantly surprised to be talking to a 'real' person.

Harvey Kaminer installed my first AC over 40 years ago, and I have been a regular customer ever since; and Woody and Todd have carried on the excellent "Kaminer" tradition. That said, as for maintenance, Walt Andrews has taken care of all units in my home, my offices and my mother's home for many years now. I can't imagine anyone else as knowledgeable, professional, neat and just plain nice and personable as Walt. He's also a top notch problem solver if the necessity arises. Because the service I get from Kaminer and Walt feels truly personal, I wouldn't call anyone else. They've earned their fine reputation.
