We used Munn's and were very satisfied. Professional installers and fair pricing.

Munns technicians are installing a new system for me as I type this.

I have never hired them, I’ve only heard stories of customers being overcharged. Check out NextDoor.

Thank you for your time!

We’ve used Apex in two homes and have been very satisfied. Excellent service and fair pricing.

I have heard good things about the Good Guys, but they are not listed as an authorized Carrier dealer or installer. So, how do they install a new Carrier system and service the 5-year labor and 10-year parts warranty? I would ask that question before I hired them to install a new HVAC system.

Seniors against crime. Unfortunately, what they do is not a crime.

Run in the opposite direction to anyone but them! Terrible reputation.
We've been with SunKool for all our HVAC needs for 21 years and 3 homes. Excellent service, highly recommend.
Also, Mike Scott has been very reliable for various plumbing issues.
Best of luck!

I had Kiley and Sons and they were bought out by Frank Gay and I had a garbage stoppage. I tried everything, even took plumbing apart and no stoppage there. Called Gary, his guy came and filled up sink with water and a plunger and it cleared. The Bill - $250.00. Enough said, I will never call them again.

I'm not sure that there is another company with as many negative reviews as this one .. Get three other estimates and then run away..

Mike&Silvia 12-10-2024 04:05 AM

Never Frank Gay!

From my personal experience, and that of many others who have expressed their displeasure with Frank Gay on this site, I would NEVER consider hiring them.

No experience with Frank Gay directly but have read the negative here. I used Kalos for an HVAC in my garage after getting estimates from an independent contractor, Munns and M&S. Kalos was not the lowest but was far lower than M&S and Munns. I have seen Kalos work on friend's homes and the price was slightly higher than an independent contractor. I went with a company I felt would be around if I need services. They did great work and did the work as they said they would with permits, etc. completed.

Not only would I not use Gay's services, I change channel every time I hear their super annoying ads.

Will that change the quality of their work?

DoreenH 12-10-2024 07:50 AM

Stay away from Frank Gay. They are not well organized and don't do the best work.

New Furnace Regulations
 
From what I have been told first hand from a furnace rep, it all starts with a new type of Freon. Then, new Freon detecting sensors within the air handler/furnace that when activated will shut down the furnace until the detected leak is fixed, winter or summer.

How old is the furnace? is it gas or electric? It may still be in warranty. What did they say was wrong with it?

Always get a second estimate. I called Guy once for a toilet problem and there estimate was twice that of Mike Scott. beware.

Nansim 12-10-2024 11:27 AM

As soon as the commercial starts I turn the radio off.

Sunshine installed our Carrier in August. Cost much much less than Munns.

If I needed a new system, I would get 3 quotes and negotiate with Munn's if they were a lot higher. I would be willing to pay more for Munn's, but not much, much more. I think they are better situated for handling warranty work because of their relationship with the Villages builders.
