Report
Very professional service. Their initial inspection disclosed that our ductwork had been improperly designed which meant that we were not getting the proper volume of airflow. They fixed the problem and our house is much cooler throughout. These guys are experts, you can trust their judgment.

We have been using Gregg and his staff for almost 15 years now. Gregg is the "A/C whisperer". He knows everything about Heating and Cooling and stays on the edge of technology. I completely trust Gregg to be honest about my A/C and heating needs. I can also highly recommend getting on his service agreement. It's a small price to pay for keeping the systems operating at their peak!

Great job at our home on proposing, installing a new air conditioner, new duct work, new furnace. I was stunned to see what was in our 60s build air ducts and how decayed our insulation around the ducts was. We highly recommend Gregg and his team. They are very punctual, and when he tells you he'll be there, he's there at exactly that time.

Report
Absolutely pleased with the service I received from Gregg! Our A/C was acting up, so we scheduled an appointment. It wasn't half an hour after they arrived that the issue was resolved, including replacing a part! We were charged only for what was needed - nothing extra. No question in my mind that we will contact A-1 for all future needs with our unit.

I have used A-1 Tops Services for air conditioning and heating maintenance/repair for each one of my houses since 2004. It is nice to have a business that operates with honesty and integrity. This is sometimes hard to come by these days. A-1 Tops Services tries to diagnose the problem and then recommends the solution to fix it. No overselling or unnecessary repairs have ever been recommended. You can tell they are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they are doing! I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing A/C and/or heating repairs or maintenance.

Gregg maintained the A/C system on my old house for many years. It finally bit the dust (he did all he could short of replacing it). His install of the new system was done quickly - just in time for summer! Highly recommend for maintenance and new systems.

Gregg and his workers came out today to install an A/C & Heating System. They did a great job and were done quicker than I thought it would be. I saw pictures of how it looked after the job was done and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend them if you want a new A/C and Heating Unit.
