BEWARE OF AIR RESCUE. I am beyond disappointed with the service and the complete lack of accountability for the products they sell.
It feels like they pressure customers into purchasing an expensive A/C system, only to nickel-and-dime them every time something goes wrong. They do not stand behind their products.
This is the second A/C unit I’ve owned in my home. My first unit was installed by a neighbor who wasn’t even a licensed HVAC professional, and it lasted over 8 years before needing to be replaced.
In July 2025, I paid $13,000 to have a brand-new system installed by Air Rescue because I expected professional workmanship and reliability. Fast forward to July 2026—just one year and three days later—and the unit completely failed. My house reached 90 degrees in the middle of summer.
When the A/C stopped working on 7/7, technician Zack came out and told us he would return the next morning between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. to complete the repair. I never received a confirmation, so I called customer service at 6:00 a.m. on 7/8, only to be told that no appointment had actually been scheduled. They told me to call back at 8:00 a.m. After multiple calls and getting the runaround, I finally spoke with a manager. Zack didn’t arrive until 1:00 p.m.
Here’s where it gets even worse.
I was initially told I owed $280 in labor, despite the unit being barely a year old. After speaking with manager Vince, they reduced it to $75, saying he “couldn’t eat the entire cost.” They also informed me that although the part was covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, I still had to pay additional warranty-related fees—something that was never explained when I purchased the system.
Even more concerning, both Zack and Vince acknowledged that this particular part fails all the time.
While repairing the unit, Zack then informed me that I also had burnt wires that would require another repair.
Burnt wires? You installed this system. How is that suddenly my responsibility—and another charge?
Then I was told yet another part had failed and there would be another manufacturer warranty fee. Vince eventually agreed to waive that fee, but what about the next part? And the one after that?
At what point does Air Rescue acknowledge that there may be a larger issue with the system they sold and installed?
I asked for a full inspection because multiple components failing within the first year doesn’t seem normal. Vince’s response was essentially, “Sometimes things just happen.”
I even compared it to an automobile recall. If an airbag fails because of a manufacturing defect, the customer isn’t expected to pay to correct it. His response was that I still had to drive to the dealership—as if that’s somehow comparable to paying repeated labor and warranty fees on a one-year-old $13,000 A/C system.
The biggest issue is transparency. No one tells you when you’re buying the unit that you’ll still be responsible for labor charges and manufacturer warranty processing fees if covered parts fail. Those costs only appear after your expensive new system breaks down.
I spent $13,000 expecting peace of mind. Instead, after just one year, I’m dealing with multiple failed parts, burnt wiring, surprise charges, scheduling issues, and a company that refuses to take responsibility for the product they sold and installed.
Save yourself the frustration and find an A/C company that actually stands behind its work and values its customers. I certainly wish I had.
Keston did a great job. He was like a detective. He logically tested each piece of equipment to determine which of 3 motors needed to be replaced.
The culprit wasn’t visible at first because all 3 motors worked at the beginning. Keston had to climb into the attic from 2 different locations, on a hot afternoon. The defective motor overheated and became defective after several minutes. Once Keston discovered the issue, he correctly replaced the unit.

I signed up for the maintenance program, took 2 months to get an appointment, then they called to reschedule, another 2 weeks out. Meanwhile the ac goes out, I called them and they said they will be here tomorrow, they come out, check the unit says it needs a capacitor and a small electrical connector block. They charged me over 1,000 dollars. The same capacitor they sold me I found on Amazon for less than 20.00, they charged me 500.00. Then when it came time for the maintenance appointment they had the gall to want to reschedule again.
They just got fired.

After several frustrating experiences with other AC companies, I was hesitant going into this appointment — but Air Rescue completely changed my perspective. Richard S. was the technician who came out, and from start to finish he was friendly, professional, and genuinely knowledgeable. What really stood out was that he took the time to actually show me the issues he found and explain them in a way that made sense, rather than just rattling off a list of problems. It was refreshing to have an AC maintenance visit that felt honest and straightforward. I'll definitely be calling Air Rescue again.

Last Service was Terrible !!!
Your Service Person, who claim, 39 years IN this business, was ONLY interested to convince me to change ENTIRE SYSTEM !!!
Diagnostic and the way he performed service, without cleaning, properly “ clogged” water drainage make me SUPRISE. The offers of over $10,000 and financing for 132 Months took “ my breath” away. I paid STANDARD FEE $79 for assumed “ DIAGNOSTIC”
Next day, a/c independent guy came,…
Checked out problem and cleaned ONLY “ ESCAPE” pipe from sludge and SYSTEM WAS PERFECT.
My notes and remarks above are not complains or requests.
Just suggestions, how, so simply way, Name and REPUTATION of the COMPANY
what My Mom and Me TRUDTED SO MANY YEARS, can vanished within minutes!!!
With ALL RESPECT and GOOD WIILL
YOUR PREVIOUS SOLID CUSTOMER
