Gary Air Service Technician, Justin N., was prompt and very knowledgeable. He replaced the needed parts and explained the damage on the old part.

Gary Air has serviced our home for more than 25 years. The technicians are knowledgeable and professional. Todays service by Cliff was no different. He even helped change the filter for my 1972 mobile home, which is very difficult to reach in the floor of my closet.
Gary Air's reply
Thank you, Pam Lester, for your loyal support over the past 25 years. We are grateful for your trust in Gary Air and glad to hear that Cliff delivered the same knowledgeable, professional HVAC service you’ve come to expect. Your note about his help with the hard to reach filter means a lot to our team. We appreciate you and are always here when you need us.

Tyler is top drawer!! For years Ive been using Ed at Gary Air and he was also fantastic. Tyler was clear and actually wanted to clean my whole floor because he thought he had tracked in some dirt. I didnt see any. But he made it very clear what I needed to do and he was efficient and I give him an a A. Thank you Gary Air.

Johnny Jones and Marquez Simpson came today for our 6 month HVAC maintenance. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, they worked efficiently to check all three units. When they were finished they gave some extra tips about using plantings outside to shade our outdoor units and help extend their lifespan. Well done to the team at Gary Air! Weve used them for years at two different homes and have never been disappointed.

John Jones didnt give up on an annoying sound, and with persistence was able to rectify the issue 100%. Just called back now, and they honored my call back from an issue 6 months ago and made it right. I am extremely grateful and dont have to sleep with the door closed!
