Arrived in their time window. Two person crew which were professional, clean, and friendly. They wore masks without being asked. One of the two men had been to our home before. They replaced the A/C air filter and did a complete check up. Will use Central City when our almost 20 year old AC dies. Highly recommended. Linda and her people will take good care of you.

Great service. If your AC goes out on a hot summer day, Central City will get you back up and running fast. Central City is a small company that gives personalized service. Their design and installation services are state of the art. I have been a Central City customer for 20 years. So if you need a new system, call them.

Since buying my 1938 cottage in 1997, Central City Air has been my exclusive provider of HVAC service. In each of the very few times that I have called them, their personnel always have been friendly, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and very effective in resolving any situation in a timely and affordable manner.

We've used Central City Air for many years, and have been happy with their work and their customer service. On Wednesday night, our AC stopped working. I called the next morning (July 4th) and left a message. I got a call back Friday morning early. The technician came to our home that afternoon, told us we would need a new unit. It would be installed the following Monday. In the meantime, it's sweltering and miserable.

The owner called me Friday afternoon, and drove out to our home to bring us some portable AC units. What a difference! We are cool and comfortable while we wait for our new unit to be installed. This is outstanding customer service! We definitely recommend Central City Air to our friends and neighbors.
