In the past 6 years of use we have never been disappointed. From the in-house staff to the service techs, our expectations have been beyond exceeded. Always courteous, professional, personable, caring and knowledgeable. Kevin Mason was our latest and newest technician. In all ways from the beginning to end of the service call , Kevin was outstanding. He was extremely proficient and just as nice. And while the names of previous techs escapes me, know that all who have serviced my HVAC systems have also been the same. We know that when service is needed, it will be performed beyond expectations and with a smile.

They responded to my emergency call on a Sunday. Ryan was professional and answered all my question. Great experience! Unfortunately the AC unit was beyond repair. Representative came on Monday and reviewed numerous options with price points. I did not feel pressured to get the highest price option. Found an option in my range and installed it Wednesday. The installation team was on time, Oscar and his crew were quick and thorough, cleaned up and spent time reviewing the completed installation with me, answering all my questions.. kudos Responsive and professional!

The men were extremely prompt,friendly and knowledgeable. They replaced my heating and ac systems in record time. They were very cautious with my property and before they left, they made sure everything was spotless. They also went over how to run the system. I would recommend Burns and McBride and their workers to anyone. Great job. Thanks
