I like this air conditioning company because they're honest and tell it like it is. I've had other a/c companies try to persuade me into their 2 year preventive maintenance contracts but this company did the exact opposite.
First of all I know that preventive maintenance contracts are bogus based on my own past experience with them. But I asked the technician if he believed in preventive maintenance. He basically said no and went on to explain that all electrical and mechanical things break eventually, and that preventive maintenance is good for some things like automobiles, but that preventive maintenance for air conditioners is nothing more than filler work for ac technicians during the spring and the fall (their slowest times of the seasons), and that most technicians are paid commissions not only on the sale of a preventive maintenance contract but also on the bogus problems that they will undoubtedly find (to fatten their wallet) when they come out twice a year to check your a/c unit.
From experience I can say and believe me, there's a reason that all of these air conditioning companies want a preventative maintenance contract with you. And it's not to save you money.
He also stated that its not a bad idea to have your unit checked at least one time if you've never had it checked because you don't know if the past occupant ever changed or had an air filter installed and you want to make sure that your coils are clean for efficiency purposes. After you've had it checked it's better to leave it alone and just change the air filter every month. He also said that air conditioners work very much like refrigerators and refrigerators hardly ever break down and never require any preventive maintenance other than cleaning out the coils from time to time. This totally made sense to me.
Its hard to find a company that goes against the grain to do what is right for the customers best interest. I won't do business with anyone else when it comes to air conditioning and I just wanted to thank them for being who they are.

My A/C wasn't blowing cool, so I called at 7:00 am on a Friday. He showed up at 8:30 (when he said he would BTW) the same day! Added freon, and didn't try any hard sell tactics. Would highly recommend his services.

Delivered on his Promises

I saw Bradley's company in a comparison against most all the other Hvac companies in my area... while others sounded good, I was not impressed with what customers wrote about their service and fairness on pricing.... I think Bradley is extremely honest and you really do get pricing that is half of the other HVAC companies... Nice! Bradley is also the owner which I like. Nothing like dealing directly with the person that owns the business that you are buying from!!

We have two air conditioning units in our home, and every year before the hot weather hits we like to get our air conditioning units serviced to make sure they are working in the most optimum condition.

I called Brad early sunday AM. By 10:00 AM, the air was cold and I was relieved not to have a ridiculous bill. I have had some bad experiences with AC companies in the past but his timeliness, friendly manner, and fair prices were a huge relief. Brad's my AC guy from now on... thanks Brad!

Found my AC guy! Thanks
by John Shumway
(Queen Creek, AZ)
I do IT consulting on my own so I thought that there must be smaller companies with hard working honest guys around that do AC work. Google brought up Bradley's web page, and actually read the testimonials and thought I would give him a shot. Bradley came and diagnosed the problem to be a motor, he spent an hour making sure, and returned after obtaining the part and finishing up the other work he had scheduled that day which ended up being 11:00pm to replace it so my family could get some sleep. NO WAY would a large company have come that late, at least not without extreemly heavy fees. Thanks for the fair price and Excellent service!

Excellent Service and Knowledge

I live in California and own a rental in Mesa, Az. I have used Brad as my A/C guy for a few years now because he is always there when I need him and I feel that he is honest and upfront with all details of the job. He knows A/C repair very well and gets right to the problem. Being from out-of-state I feel vulnerable to unreputable servicemen. I feel lucky to have found Brad.

Brad is the AC expert that I rely on for all repairs and questions. In fact, we are buying a new A/C unit through Brad and he will be installing it this month! I recommend him to all of our friends. He is honest, extremely knowledgeable and reliable. He comes when you need him and you can always bank on what he tells you!

Having a rental property in Gilbert Arizona while living in Houston Texas requires reliable contractors that you can depend on for servicing. A/C Handyman has filled this requirement beyond expectations. One phone call is all it takes and you know that you don't have to worry about constant followup. Bradley will see to it that the problem is analyzed, reported back to you and repaired as required professionally. I highly recommend their service.
