10 stars. Eric saved the day. My AC went out and I was really stressed, but he responded quickly, was honest and affordable, and very meticulous with his work. Everything is running perfectly again. Highly recommend.

Eric did an amazing job with my ac unit. We lost power to our unit last night and we were in desperate need of a repair. Eric arrived on scene and was able to diagnose and fix the problem in under an hour. Trustworthy HVAC technician with great pricing in the local community 5/5 recommendation.

Eric is the best at what he does. He is the only one who doesn’t try to up sale you on a new unit. I had multiple people come out and everyone either tried to get me to buy a new units since something with the coils was bad. So I called HVAC Penguin, he came took a look and noticed it was an easy fix. He fixed the issue in a day, just in time for the warmer days we are getting. I highly recommend him and if you are having problems with your ac don’t hesitate to reach out. He won’t try to sell you what you don’t need like other companies will try to.
