Our A/C is going out and here comes summer! We have a heat pump that has been great until now - 20 years. We will probably have to replace it and need trusted people who won't take us for all we are worth, which isn't much to begin with! Thanks for any suggestions. Richardson, TX area

Try Daniel's Air Conditioning out of Lake Dallas. My husband used to work for them, and he still refers people to them all the time. Good to get it done now before summer rolls around. Good luck!

Hi, T.!

Welcome to the club! After spending $4000 to get radiant barrier on the house (hoping to save $$$ on electric bills), we find out that our A/C is on its last legs. :-(

We had four different companies come to our house, representing four different major A/C brands. We ended up going with Frost Bros., which I think is out of Lewisville. I actually found them through this website (they do have a coupon on the "Member Perks" page).

Johnny Frost took a great deal of time with us, explained the system that he wanted us to get, and actually seemed to care about what we were hoping to accomplish with the new system. He wasn't the cheapest system that we priced, but he was in the same "wheelhouse" as the others.

Either way - not a cheap proposition. Trust me!

I found this AC guy a couple of years ago. His name is David Porter and he now does work on the side as he went back to working full time. I have never been able to beat his prices and quit trying some time ago. He does all my work on 2 homes and 2 rental houses. He is extraordinarily honest also and has often not charged me for an hour or more of work just because he's a nice guy. Love him: ###-###-####

and absolutely love them. It is family owned and they are completely trustworthy and fair. They came out two years ago in the midst of 105 days to figure out why my AC wasn't working (the same day I called them) at 7 pm at night and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. We have been a loyal customer ever since. Tell them A. Blakeney sent you.

Good luck, A.

We use ACME A/C and love them. Their number is ###-###-#### and the are truly a family company. It is a husband and wife team and their 2 (older) children help out as well. They are very honest and trustworthy. And they show up when they say they will! I had to replace a unit last summer and they walked me through all my options and allowed me to make a well informed choice without any pressure. The work was taken care of in one day and they even allowed me to pay the bill over 6 months. Please give them a call and tell them K. Roberts says, "Hello".

Take care.

I have a great A/C man. He works word of mouth only, so you are not buying hype, does the jobs himself with a small crew. A great licensed plumber also! Tons of experience. Get him to give you an estimate.

We have used Hammack Heating and Air Conditioning from Richardson (although we live in Allen). A friend of mine who works for Lennox recommended them and said they always get rave reviews. We've had them out twice-once for an annual system check and the second time for a part that went out. They didn't even charge us for the second service call (and the part was less than $50). Their phone number is ###-###-####.

We had to replace our A/C and furnace nearly 2 summers ago. The company we used was great and seemed very honest about what we did and did not need. The work was done quickly, which was especially appreciated because I was VERY pregnant at the time and therefore hot!

It's Slocum Electric in Irving. Their website is: http://slocumelectric.com/index.html. Phone is ###-###-####.

We had our new all electric 13-SEER A/C (no heat pump, and no existing gas connection) installed a year ago by a company which was recommended by one of our friends: Total Air & Heat Tel ###-###-####, 1408 Ave. O at 14th, Suite 100, Plano, TX 75074, www.totalair.com - their salesman Mark was polite, well trained and knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions in a very professional way. He gave us numerous detailed written estimates (endless patience) and never pressured us to buy a particular system. We decided against a heat pump system because of the climate here (also lower price) and we're happy with our choice. Always ask for a free and written estimate (or better: quote) beforehand (two salesman tried to charge us for their "free" estimate on the day of their visit, one company wouldn't give a written estimate until we "would decide to let them do the job", one company didn't bother to check and calculate which was the right sized unit for our house. Any questions? Email me. E.

We had to replace our AC about five years ago and friends recommended John Schniederjan with ElectAir Services, Inc. in Plano. His number is ###-###-####. He was very reasonable and nice to work with. We have had to call him out a time or two for a service call and he has been wonderful. One time I called him because of a problem and it turned out to be nothing (my mistake) and he did not even charge me anything! I think you will be very pleased with him. Thanks, K. B. Garland, TX

I would definitely try Steve Wilson at Wilson Heating and Air. I have used them and they were great. MY a/c unit died in June a couple years ago and my husband was out of town - there was NO way I was waiting till he got back to get it fixed. He was actually on a plane when it happened-- I totally made the decision on my own and was happy with it and the price I paid. T he service was excellent! http://wilsonsvc.com/ 214-655-COOL.
