Hubby bought a (turned out to defective) fan motor from Amazon. He began putting it on Saturday morning Labor Day weekend. When we still didn't have air by 3 p.m., we called Air-Care Southeast, and Carl even tried talking the hubby through everything! How incredible! Who does that? Since the motor was defective, there was nothing that could be done. Rick came out at 7:30 p.m. and put in a new motor for us. Lifesaver! Very reasonable price as well. Highly, highly, recommend. They will be doing all of our A/C work from now on. THANK YOU!

I highly recommend Air-Care Southeast! Carl, Bobby and their whole team really know what they are doing and have gotten me out of several jams with my A/C and heater. A neighbor recommended them and I can see why! Top-notch people that will do a great job and very fair pricing.

I've waited awhile to make this post bc I was worn out from An overheating AC debacle. My Murphy pup is a tad hefty and it took less than an hour for her to pant so heavily, I thought she might pass out or worse. Special thanks to Carl Highfill and Air Care Southeast for doing their best to find out why fan problems persist with this unit they. installed. Carl called the company and determined the problem.

Since this was a repeat of the problem, he gave this old retired school teacher a good deal. I highly recommend Air Care and Carl! I was introduced to Carl and his company through my vet and hero, Dr. Philip Petersen! Air Care Southeast does more than AC- THE BEST!

I was introduced from a friend of mine that has used this company for a very long time and it's true, an honest company still exists. Carl, his honesty, integrity and expertise is just unheard of these day's. From start to finish with a complete A/C replacement it went very well and certainly above my expectations.

I used Air Care Southeast to replace all the plumbing in my house a few years ago and last month I had them replace my a/c and furnace. During both jobs they were very professional and provided fair bids. The workers were courteous, respectful of my home and cleaned up everything. Before I purchased the new a/c they were able to keep the old one working whenever I had issues with it. I wouldn't use anyone else for my plumbing or a/c needs.
