Called Starnes' on-call line at 4pm on a Sunday — their tech called back within 30 minutes and walked me through troubleshooting steps. Monday at 8:30am their scheduler called proactively. Technician arrived by 10:15, house was cool by noon. Would absolutely recommend and use again.

Our unit went out and needed to be replaced. They came in quickly and even brought us a temporary AC unit until they got it replaced. Mark, Alex and Brad did a fantastic job with the change out and left the house looking better than when they arrived.

I've used Starnes for many years and have always been happy with their service. Samuel Childress recently resolved a heat pump issue — prompt, professional, and gave us helpful tips to keep the system running at its best. Thanks again Starnes and Samuel!

Out of all the technicians I've had work on my system, Jeff Haywood did more than anyone ever has to make sure it was in tip-top shape and performing exactly as it should. I'll be requesting him for my annual services going forward.
