I have been using C & I for 20 years and could not be more pleased. They have performed maintenance, repairs and installation of new HVAC systems for us. They are very responsive and show up when they say they will. They have always handled our problems and we have had no issues with any of the work they have done. The technicians are thorough and explain their work once performed. A+ company and service!

Report
C&I provides HVAC services for H&M Holdings in Frankfort KY. They respond quickly to repair and maintenance requests for both our multi-family units and our commercial properties. We are pleased with the quality of their work and they provide good solutions as some of our buildings and equipment are old and at the end of life.

Report
I've known Tim and his Dad Ken since the early 90's when I was a Mechanical Supervisor for the Fayette County School System. C&I was the contract HVAC contractor at the time. Ken came to my office one summer to show me a valve that one of his technicians had mis-plumbed that had caused a loss of much of the refrigerant in a large chiller that he had been working on. Ken informed me that he had corrected the problem and replaced the lost refrigerant at no cost to the School System.
I thanked Ken for his honesty and told him that I didn't think that I had a single contractor that would have told me the truth about this situation. When I subsequently relocated to Wild Turkey Distillery, I used C&I for all of my HVAC repair and installation that was too large for my crew to attend to. They have always been quick to respond to my calls, and have always performed quality work at a reasonable rate. I would recommend them to anyone.
