Great service and courteous technician. In spite of being undermanned our AC problem was addressed quickly and fully. The biggest wait time was parts, which is out of their control. Would absolutely use them again.

This has been by far the most incompetent customer service experience Ive ever had, which includes talking to banks and buying cars. The managers dont ever call you back and send out technicians who dont actually check their work. We have been breathing in a black foam for a month after down east did an install because they realized they left in packing foam during installation. The techs disregard anything you tell them is going on until after 3 visits, they have their a-ha moment and realize you werent making stuff up. Again, awful customer service and dont even attempt to actually resolve the issues.
