Xavier V

Great service and professionalism all the way! My initial call to General was back in July when I got home and it was 89° in my house. They were able to get someone out to my home within two hours. A new capacitor was installed and the system began cooling. I was so impressed with the prompt and knowledgeable service that I took out a maintenance agreement. Last week I called for my first of two service calls and Mr. Dennis was dispatched. He saved me from some serious water damage as my A/C drain pan was about to overflow. He unclogged both drains and made sure my furnace was safe to run for the winter. I highly recommend them.

Love our new AC installation!! We’ve had monthly service for a very long time that’s always been great! They told me it’s finally time to get a new AC. The old one was on its last leg. Wish I would’ve done it sooner, because I just got in my Entergy bill and it went down $300!! So happy and grateful!!

GHAC installed my unit (replacement) originally and I have had a service contract with them for several years (thankfully they have a very professional and efficient office staff to ensue I schedule my visits timely!). My technician, Ron, is always professional, pleasant and genuinely concerned that our system runs at maximum capacity for maintaining our comfort. He always calls and arrives when scheduled, is very helpful when explaining what needs to be done and why, and always proactive to try and avoid possible "emergency" issues down the road that would keep us without our cooling system due to mechanical breakdowns. Overall we are very happy knowing Ron is taking care of our systems so our systems can take care of us.

I had 2 - 3 ton units removed and replaced. The installation crew was very professional, courteous and kept the house very clean. They put down tarps to protect the banister and stairs inside and they swept and cleaned outside. They showed up on time and even got along great with my dog. The crew members were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Great job guys! Thanks!

Good company, good people. We've been using them for 4 or 5 years. Their service techs have always been courteous, knowledgeable, and able to solve the problems we've experienced so far. When we ask questions the techs take the time to answer to our satisfaction. Just today Ron was dispatched to help us with our furnace. He explained how the furnace cycles through its startup which helped us understand what we were experiencing.
