Our Customers Say it Best:
These are not fabricated reviews. These are real Google reviews from real customers!
“Our 1950 house didn’t have central air conditioning. Once we decided to remedy the situation, Andy Bobo from CMR promptly came out and conducted an estimate. He scheduled install within a week and was very responsive (even texting me directly with updates).
During the installation, the power went out for the whole neighborhood. This meant they couldn't complete the job...on the hottest day on record this summer! Andy called me immediately and told me to text him when the power came on. When the power came back-he sent someone, after hours, to complete the job within an hour!
We would definitely recommend CMR. All their employees were professional and kind. Great customer service and results. Thank you!”

“Andy, the owner and Charlie, the main service guy are an absolute pleasure to work with and extremely honest!!! I have Bryant 90 plus. The furnace was less than 10 years old and they found out that I was having a heat exchanger problem. They were able to replace it under the warranty where another competitor was trying to charge me $700 bucks! These guys are TOP SHELF!!!”
