I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the initial quote last year, to the install of a new HVAC system in March, to today for some follow up. Professional, hard working, ethical, honest.
Marissa in the office is so organized and a pleasure to deal with. Every technician that has been here is respectful of being in your home, thorough in the job and communicates to you. Atila, the hands on owner, goes above and beyond to insure that his product and service meet the highest standard and his clients are happy; a man who is truly concerned about his reputation and that of his company.

First Choice did an excellent on time install of a new system in our house, honoring a quote that was 3 months old. Nice people, from the front office to the tech team. I happily recommend them for your A/C issues.

I called First Choice last Saturday after trying a couple of other places who only had a voice mail (and never called me back) to find a pleasant and helpful voice on the other end of the phone. I needed to set up an appointment for a tune-up, but discovered all of a sudden, that my AC wasn't working after turning it on for the first time this year. They sent out a technician 2 hours later at 5pm for a tune-up for the price of their special that I found on their website and didn't consider it an emergency call.

When Atilla & Sylvester arrived, they were very pleasant, clean, and well-mannered. They told me that they couldn't do anything to fix my problem because I was going to have to have an electrician come out first to see if a certain problem could be fixed, but they nevertheless, sealed a leak on the roof unit. They were patient, thorough, and very up front and honest about my predicament and DIDN'T CHARGE ME A CENT!

I have gotten the electrical problem fixed and will be calling them to service my AC. And because they have gotten my trust, they will also be my first call when I replace an entire AC unit on another house in a couple of months.
