 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
