"Great price. I am absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Carnes and Sons Air Conditioning. I needed a full system replacement in a home with a challenging setup, and after receiving multiple quotes, Carnes was the only company with the creativity, expertise, and confidence to deliver exactly what I wanted.

It's rare to find a company that combines technical skill with such a high level of customer care.

"Carnes & Sons are the best AC company I could find. I had 10 businesses quote my project but only Carnes & Sons had the right brand at the right prices. They upgraded my system with top of the line LED purifier... got it installed and working within a few days of initial contact. They helped me get through the 4th of July weekend with portable units u til they could install on Monday. That is customer service. They have my business going forward!..."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Carnes and Sons for the installation of my new HVAC system, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the initial consultation to the final installation, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer service. Plus, their pricing was very competitive, providing excellent value for the quality of service received. The team arrived on time and ready to work, demonstrating a deep knowledge of HVAC systems and a keen attention to detail. They took the time to explain the installation process, answer all my questions, and address any concerns I had. It was clear that they were not just trying to sell me a system but were genuinely invested in finding the best solution for my home. What truly set Carnes and Sons apart was their willingness to go above and beyond. They identified and resolved a few issues with my existing ductwork that I would have not thought of myself ensuring that the efficiency of the new system would be maximized. Post-installation, they followed up to ensure everything was working perfectly. Their customer service is truly top-notch, and it is refreshing to see a company that values it customers so highly and actually listens to their needs and not just trying to sell a piece of equipment. If you're in need of any HVAC services, look no further than Carnes and Sons. They have earned my trust and loyalty, and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family! Thank you Clint and everyone at Carnes and Sons, for an outstanding experience!"
