Past experience with this company has been very good. However, I purchased an AC system for $10,000+ 6 years ago; it stopped working; they came out to tell me it needed a new fan motor and they told me the equipment was not under warranty and would cost $1,000+ to replace. I complained about being sold a system with a 10-year warranty; so they checked and "discovered" that it WAS under warranty and then the replacement cost was reduced to $300+.
I still got charged a service fee to come out and tell me that the system they sold me, which turned out to be under warranty, needed to be fixed. VERY, VERY disappointed and unhappy with how they go about their business. They are great if you sign a "blank check"; very good staff -- but they have a lot of work to do to actually "take care of the customer". They seem to be lazer-focused on how to get as much $$$ out of you as possible. If you want an upgrade in value, go visit your dentist.

Sanibel Air takes care of our home on Sanibel, and I have to say they have some of the best customer service! We had asked about something for our AC unit and they took the time to explain the pros and cons and give us the information we needed to make the best decision. Very trustworthy!

Honest fair and knowledgeable. Reached out to them after another company was about to rip us financially off. Sanibel Air saved us thousands literally. They are great!

We have been customers of Sanibel Air and Electric for many years. During that time we strayed when we bought another home and needed some service on a newly installed unit from the previous owner. HUGE mistake. To put it simply the service was substandard. Instead of taking care of servicing my HVAC system, the "Tech" was trying to sell me the entire time. Will not wander again. I can be sure that we are well cared for by Sanibel Air and Electric.

I give the service tech, Tim, a 5+. He came on time, checked out the unit and replaced the Thermostate unit, which I knew as bad. The price, including installation was like the other reviewer said, about 200 I think. With the heat here I would have paid anything LOL. However, that said, I must agree that if the thermostat is onyly 30 dollars at Home Depot, the mark up seems a little excessive, But Hey, after all I am on Sanibel Island and I have to pay $6 everytime I come on the island so it is what it is. They may not be cheap but they are dependable :-

Highly recommend! I had a difficult to find and fix electrical problem that stranded my boat on the lift. These guys stayed after it until 5 on a Friday so I could get my grandkids out on the boat once before they left. They found the bad wires and figured out a way to fix it. I have always used the. For my AC and now they will be my call for electrical too.

Sanibel air and electric did both some a/c reap air and electric repair at our home. They confirmed appointments each time the day before and their guys were extremely kind and helpful. We did a halo air cleaner that is amazing as well as a WiFi thermostat too. I would recommend these fine folks - the office staff is great and a pleasure to work with as well.
