Great experience! Called 3 companies before BTAC and they all told me it would be a couple of days. I called BTAC and they were here within the hour. Jeremy came out to look at our AC unit and was extremely professional. I admitted I knew nothing about HVAC units and he made sure to let me know step by step what was going on and what to look for in the future. Wonderful experience. They will always be my first call now.

Jeff, the plumber, and his helper, John, were fantastic about diagnosing and treating our plumbing issue. They quickly fixed our problem! Jeremy, the HVAC expert, was also quite good at formulating a rule-out diagnosis and was very cordial.
