Bertie installed our Trane HVAC in 06. Weve had routine maintenance done every 6 months since then by them. Only once did we need any kind of repair. The technicians are always honest and professional. Caleb and Kelvin did the maintenance this morning. They were extremely thourough, professional, respectful and efficient. That is why we have stayed with Bertie for over 15 years. Great job! Thank you! Christine and Tom Fox

I had a very large project all new duct work, new returns added, new Bryant System installed, moved Air Handler from inside my house to my garage it was a lot of work. My team members Danny and Marvin were fantastic, they were courteous, professional, clean, friendly and dang sure not afraid of hard work. I asked about future service I want to possibly add one more line to my laundry room and eventually a mini split to a Florida Room I plan to convert, when I get ready I will ask for Danny and Marvin specifically if that means I have to wait a few weeks then so be it. If you have a project and

Feel like was gouged out of 400 dollars to replace a simple capacitor. The technician never did any extensive diagnostic. What a scam on the price. Will be looking into a more affordable company. Oh lastly the price was increased after the repair since they "thought" I was on a maintenance contract so glad that was brought to my attention after the job was done.

After buying a brand new air conditioner from this company in 2017. We have had them out here More than 10 times for the same issue. Water continues to leak into the house. At one point we were told we needed a new condensation pump. Which we bought and paid over $400 only two years after the new system was installed. Not 10 minutes after the technician left, the drain pan was again filled with water. We have saved every work ticket since 2017 from Bertie and have approximately 13 tickets and with the $100 service charge every time they come out, plus the $400 pump cost. We have paid them over
