We have Sunshine also. I was super impressed with their warranty work.

We use them for our annual service and are happy. But make no mistake they are also trying to sell whatever Mold/algae/mildew reducing system they can. But they do it in a no pressure way. They inform you what is available and let you decide if you want to bite. Then they go about their business.

When we bought our first house in 2018, our realtor suggested Frostys. Husband loves their service. Now in our second home, still use them.

Not sure what they were charging before, but their bi-annual maintenance fee is the same as our service “back home”.

I believe what might be happening is everyone's costs are rising and the need to service 2X a year the types of HVAC systems that we have here in the Villages is probably not necessary. Many HVAC companies are dropping this service unless you have a special situation or demand it. In fact, I don't want them putting gauges on my AC unit 2X a year since everytime they do that, a small amount of refrigerant is lost. Over many years, you possibly could loose enough refrigerant to make your system run less efficiently. Yearly service is enough. Also, as we discussed before, the service is to make sure your indoor and outdoor coils are clean and to do some checks in an attempt to prevent failures. Here in the Villages, the indoor and outdoor coils will not need cleaning more than yearly and 2X a year service isn't going to prevent any more failures than yearly. That said, Munns prides itself in servicing the customer so with the tremendous growth here in the Villages they probably don't have enough techs to do service 2x per year and they need to raise rates because of rising costs.

Very well said.
Also, I feel Your HVAC system is one of the important appliances in our houses.

BTW, I'm a fan of Munn's service, once a year I get mine serviced
and always in the winter, (off season).

And Munn's is a very good company just might not be the cheapest anymore and that's fine if you are happy with the service. I use Sunshine and yes their yearly service costs a little more too but i'm fine with that because I'm satisified with their work and never have to worry.

We have been spoiled by Chuck Farrell and his employees. We were customers since 2015, but with our move south of 44 he doesn’t have the staff to continue south. He strongly recommended Kalos. We used then at one of our rentals and were very happy

Last year our A/C quit working and called Munns. It was a Wednesday in October at approximately 1100 am and had to leave a message because no one answered the phone. Still to this day they haven't returned our call. At 300pm we call FL HVAC Services and they were at our house within an hour. Our A/C needed a part they didn't have in stock, and they drove to Jacksonville to get the part the next morning. The supply house in Orlando also was out of stock. Our A/C was running that afternoon. The price was very
reasonable and they are very honest. They also do our checkup now and its 99 dollars. Once again, I think it's very reasonable...
