Our neighbors used Mels for routine service and were super happy, so we tried them. The Technician was very knowledgeable, serviced the unit put new filters in the house, and was very polite and professional. We will definitely use them again. It was so nice to know our unit is working well. The price was fair.

I called Mel’s because our AC quit in 100 degree weather. They scheduled me for service that same day between 11:00-1:00. They texted me that they were on their way. Alfred one of their technicians showed up at 11:00, he was very professional and knowledgeable. He was very polite and got straight to work on our AC. He found the problem and fixed it. We were so pleased. They were prompt and charged a reasonable price. I would recommend them highly. We plan to use them for all our HVAC needs in the future.
