Our place is ten years old and one Sunday it seemed that the a/c ran constantly.

It seems that there's a blockage in the pipes under the house and we should consider having this fixed for about $2500!!!!

We told him that we would think about it as he said this will run ok for awhile. When someone quotes that much, one seeks a second opinion, yes? But of course. I checked out TOTV as to who seemed to be highly recommended and it happened to be Chuck Farrell - 352.516.0192

We called him early evening and said he would be over as soon as he finished a job in about an hour. By this time it was 9 pm and on a Sunday. What a guy!!

We told him the whole story and he checked the system out and said it seems to be running just fine. He couldn't imagine anything getting into the piping under the house and suggested to wait as long as it was running fine now. He didn't charge us anything for the call, however, if I ever do need the service, he's the one who will get our business.

Now, there's a real fair, ethical very pleasant guy. What a pleasure to deal with someone so honest. This happened about four months ago and the a/c has been ok. Chuck also said that if something does go wrong, there's no way that it's going to cost you big bucks. I then told him that I should get a maintenance contract with him. He said that he doesn't believe in contracts as they're nothing but moneymakers and it's better and less money for his customers to be charged each individual call for general maintenance or if and when whatever problems arise.

There are a number of peeps here in TV that can confirm this man's honesty and integrity by just reading the threads written about Chuck Farrell.

Hope this helps.....barb1191
