I won't use any other A/C service. Independent Air technicians let me know when they are on their way and arrive on time, are professional, do a thorough cleaning and inspection, and I've not had any issues since I signed up for their biannual servicing. My usual technician, Jerry, is knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to have around. They are tops in my book!

Jerry came over within an hour of calling. Turns out it was somewhat easy to fix. I neglected maintenance and got what we deserved. He didn't pass judgement! Lol. Just cleaned it all out and got our house cool again.

I give Independent Air my highest recommendation. Tech. Kori arrived early for my appointment and displayed superior knowledge regarding the problem with my air conditioner. He did a very thorough job and thanks to his hard work my ac is running great. He also advised me what to do if I had any future problems. I am also very pleased that I chose Independent Air and will certainly use this company in the future. Workmanship was A+ and at a reasonable rate.

Recommend them ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. Great service & employees, Enesto was excellent as well as the other young man, sorry, didn't get his name. Pete has been our AC guy for over 40 years.

I want to say thank you to everyone I spoke with and worked with at Independent AC. I just started a new job on Monday after being out of work for 4+ months and my AC decided to go out on Sunday before my first day of work. I called in on Tuesday and they didn't have an appointment in the morning until the next Tuesday, but when I told the sweet person on the phone my AC was not working, she made some calls and said someone would come out that night after I got off work at 6:30 pm. Joe came and provided me with a quote and explained what needed to be done after I got off work.

I accepted the proposal on Wednesday and they made an appointment to do the replacement on Friday morning. Reinier Perez and Ernesto Galindo came out to remove the old AC unit and install the new unit along with Pete was there with he jackhammer bright and early. I was working from home at my new job while they were doing all the hot, dirty work outside. I know I left off a couple of names, but thank you to everyone on the phones, quotes, sales, and the install team.

We have done business with Independent Air as they were the company that had installed the AC unit prior to our purchasing our home. We have been extremely pleased with their service. We had a problem one night after 8pm. We called and a service person arrived at our door in less than 30 minutes. I can not say enough good about independent air and especially Cory who works with this company. He is exceptional.

Wonderful job, Earnesto showed up on time and did an amazing job on our AC. He was able to make recommendations for us and install a much better float switch that was needed for our system. Excellent workmanship, and very professional. He truly performed the cleaning and maintenance on our system as if it was his own. I highly recommend and we will be calling on Independent Air Conditioning Inc for all of our future maintenance and AC needs. Thank you

Best air conditioning company I have ever used! (I've owned my home for 30 years). Joe, the owner, is always there when you need him, and I can't say enough nice things about Corey, the technician! The office staff are so friendly and I guess the best part is how knowledgeable everyone at Independent Air are. You will always get a human when you call, or on a very rare occasion, an immediate call back. I will never use anyone else and I highly recommend them to all who need a trustworthy, dependable air conditioning service!

After I purchased my home a few years ago I wanted to get the AC serviced. I asked a friend who suggested Independent Air. Glad he did because Independent is a local I believe family owned reliable company. From scheduling to the tech everyone seems attentive and willing to help. I would 100% recommended to anyone. Best service related company I've ever dealt with

The only ac company that actually took into account size of house, how many windows, and sun exposure of house when replacing ac instead of just sq footage. Does very thorough yearly maintenance. Service tech. Corey is terrific. Service: Heating maintenance

Independent Air is the best. Have been using them for years. Always responsive and reasonably priced. Wouldn't call anyone else. Corey, one of their employees, is great!

Jerry's a wonderful technician(as are all the technicians)! With that said, Independent Air as a whole is always a great company to do business with. Their attention to detail, and knowledgeable staff make every interaction and appointment a pleasure. Courteous, clean and very respectful. Highly recommended!

During my annual service I ordered an Ecobee thermostat that was installed quickly and the technician showed me how to set the app on my phone. Several days later I was out of town and received an alert that there was an issue with the temperature in my house, so I called and Joe had a technician at my house that afternoon who diagnosed the problem and got my old unit up and running like new. I came home from vacation to a nice cool house thanks to Joe and his excellent professional staff!

Our technician Koa did a fantastic job on the maintenance of both AC units. They are honest, reliable and are overall just great people. I have used other companies in the past and not had the same level of customer service or confidence in the work as I do with Independent Air.

We have received fabulous service and support with Independent Air with Joe and Pete Leto. We moved from California to Florida 7 years ago and found out how important great service and support for your HVAC system is here. We tried several companies and were underwhelmed until we found Independent Air. What a difference it makes to have them take care of all of our HVAC needs.

They are always there for us and everyone from the home office to the field personnel to management are a joy to work with. We highly recommend them to you and all your friends!

We have dealt with Independent Air for many years and have always been very well satisfied with their work. Our service each year has been with well qualified service men who are ready to answer any questions we might have. Thank you gentlemen for great and reasonable service. It has been another year and the service has remained the same, excellent. We have always been completely satisfied with the work that was done and will always call them for any service we need.

We have been dealing with Independent Air for the past 15 years and am so fortunate for the honesty and quality of service they have provided for all of my HVAC needs. I always refer them to anyone who mentions a problem with their AC unit. Pete and Joe are truly two of the nicest people to know and make it very clear of their intent for your satisfaction with their service.

I have been fortunate to have Corey as my service tech for the past couple years and praise him as well. He is personable, professional and honest and seems to fit in well with the Independent Air model of customer service.

Amazing company! I have been with them ever since I relocated into my current residence and I have not been disappointed. Everyone from Joe to Marlena to Shakori have been absolutely incredible. They are reasonably priced and I have yet to see customer service like theirs. The techs are knowledgeable, punctual and thorough. I would recommend this team without hesitation.

I wholeheartedly recommend these folks to anyone that wants quality workmanship at a fair price! Two of my neighbors recommended them to us and I can't be happier with the excellent work they did! Kori arrived on time and did a thorough cleaning of my air conditioning system. He did a great job and didn't cut any corners, nor did he try to upsell me like all the other A/C technicians/salesmen from other companies did in the past.

There are a lot of A/C companies that are doing shoddy work, this is definitely NOT one of them. Independent Air does excellent work and they are very down to earth honest people. There were several problems with our A/C the right way, took their time with the repairs and made sure everything was right before they left. Trust me, they pointed out lots of things that the prior company supposedly had done, that had not been completed.

If you are not sure which company to use, try these guys, I am sure you will be very happy. They have fully earned my trust and I a plan to be a customer for life! A++ rating from me.

This Company is Fantastic. Cory the Tech explained to me what I did to clear the drain in Valencia Lakes was great and that I Must put water in the drain line after vacuuming the line, otherwise I had an air lock which would back up the water. I like their honesty and it is a learning experience for me. Also they have installed my HVAC about 4 years ago and it performs flawlessly. If your looking for your AC needs, this Company is it, bar none.

I've had Independent Air maintain and replace my HVAC for 10 years. Every single time they are on time, effective and efficient. Yesterday was my summer maintenance visit. Corey explains what he's doing and why. The replacement unit is now 5 years old. When it replaced the previous unit that was 10 years old, my electric bill was cut in half. I highly recommend Independent Air!

Just purchased a new Bryant Heat Pump through Independent Air. Joe Leto provided research to suggest the best options and prices. He met with me to thoroughly review these options and answered all my questions. Installation went very well with a return visit by the installation crew the following week to insure everything was satisfactory and making final adjustments.

We had another company out and they recommended that we replace our system or part of it after they cleaned it. I decided to ask a Property Manager that handles many properties and they recommended Independent Air.

Was having problems with elderly parents AC. Called another company first and they failed to diagnose problem. They said I needed new AC. Called Independent AC they came out and in short time found cause of the problem fixed it and the AC has been working fine now more than one year later.

Independent air replaced our entire air-conditioning unit, inside and out. We like many things about them. Their promptness, the high quality of their work, and their pleasant personal service.

Absolutely the best A/C company I've encountered in the Tampa area! Not only did they show-up on time, the service tech was extremely professional and did a thorough service without trash-talking other companies or trying to up-charge me on frivolous services. From the pleasant, straight-forward discussion with the lady at the office to set-up the appointment and her follow-up reminder call to the the tech doing exactly what the TECO HVAC maintenance program called for at the exact price as quoted over the phone, I was very impressed with Independent Air and will highly recommend them to friends and family!

If you want prompt, professional service by people who really seem to know what they are doing, this is the company for you. Our AC stopped working in 95 degree weather. Originally, had another local company come out to do the repair.

Had to relate what a great company this is to all that are looking for AC repair. We initially had another company come & do an estimate, and found it unreasonably high. They also attempted to up-sell us into replacing the whole system.
