Great guy. Efficient and communicated with me well and was on time. And fix our AC problem very reasonably and fair. Will use him again!
Needed to have someone come and look at our AC because it does not cool completely in the house. Had someone from a bigger company came and quoted $2,620 of work to do now, $4,100 for system rejuvenate in the future, and advised us to buy a new AC in general. Called Charlie because of the good recommendations on I Love St. Pete, he came within 3 hours, explained to us throughly about what’s going on and gave tips on keeping the house cool. $185 total. I’m so glad we called for a second opinion.
I picked essential air because all the good reviews and the fact we live a mile apart. Charlie was very easy to schedule with and showed up on time. I called as a second opinion from my regular guy that is getting old. Charlie did a very thorough checkup and figured out the issue I was having. His service call and freon charge was very fair. I think I found my new AC guy. If you like supporting a small local company that is honest and fair priced I suggest you give him a call when needed.
Charlie is the best he gave me a qoute on a Friday and fit me in on a Monday.Steve and Phil thank you for the great service.Great job and would recommend every day of the week . Professional upfront and they do what needs to be done .Thank you so much .Will call whenever my next issue comes up.
Charles is the best guy in Pinellas county when it comes to anything HVAC. He is so honest and reliable that he is the guy you call for a second opinion to keep the A/C guys honest!
Charlie and his team were there in 30 minutes and fixed my problem immediately. I am so impressed with Essential Air!
I like to use small business owners in our community, and Charlie did not disappoint! Super nice guy, on time, and very affordable. I will always call Charlie for my a/c needs!!
There is NO Other AC company I would use. In the past we have called on other companies and have been ripped off. This is the one and only company for me moving forward!!!!
Charlie was able to inspect and repair our older AC unit. He helped it run more efficiently and reduce energy consumption. He was also able to give great advice to improve efficiency of our house. Professional, honest, and friendly service!
Charlie and his team are awesome. Reliable, and knowledgeable they will take care of any of your cooling/heating needs.
I am a property manager and called Charly on a holiday for an emergency service on one of my rentals. This is my first time using Essential Air but it will not be my last! His after hour rates were more than fair, service was prompt. Charly is honest and easy to communicate with he was able to troubleshoot and have everything running and my guests cool and comfortable within an hour. Highly recommend
Charlie is a great guy and I will use him always if I need a AC man thanks Charlie
Charles is smart fast and on time! He fixed without a big bill and extensive time. If you want honest individual he is the man to come too. I highly recommend Charles for your HVAC needs.
Amazing work! The AC was turning on, but not blowing cold air. Charlie came out on a Saturday and had us back up and running in no time!!! Thank you Charlie!!!
Essential Air came out the same day. He promptly examined the unit, located the problem (the fan broke), WENT STRAIGHT TO THE SUPPLIER AND CAME BACK WITH THE NEW FAN IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES. And fixed our A/C. Best A/C contractor experience we've had since moving to Florida.
I was actually on hold with another company when I saw Charlie’s reviews. I hung up with them & called him instead. Glad I did! The A/C at the rental property I was staying at was turning on, but the air was not cold. Charlie was able to come by the next morning. The system was low on refrigerant. He explained that there’s likely a leak in the system and it’d be most cost effective to just replace the system. But since we are just here another couple weeks, he was able to refill the refrigerant (for a charge) to hold us over until the landlord decides what she wants to do. Thank you, Charlie!
Charlie was AWESOME. Came out within the hour. Explained what he was checking and doing the entire time. Gave me options on how we can fix the problem and saved this baking girl's family from enduring another hot night of baking!! Cold air never felt more sweet!! Temp has already dropped 6°!!!!
It is so refreshing to hire a knowledgeable professional who doesn't try to take advantage of you. Small business with very big value! Charlie has my business from now on!
I quoted several contractors and ultimately decided to work with Charlie at Essential Air. In addition to having a GREAT quote, I felt most comfortable with him. He relocated two Heat Pumps from the rear of my house to the side of my house. He also arranged an electrician to install two new disconnects. He was very flexible and accommodating. Wish all contractors were as easy to work with.
My minisplit was freezing at the head unit inside and in the lines at the condenser outside. I called and Charlie was able to come the same day (we’re in January, mind you, it’s technically the slow season). He checked the level of refrigerant and showed me it was a pound low. He filled it and then used a gauge to check for leaks outside and inside at the head unit. Charlie is a great contractor because he’s professional, friendly, competent, and charges reasonable fees. I’m so happy to find a contractor who knows how to deal with customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again.
