Based on recommendations here we called up Fred with Rumba Air to do a small minspilt\/ductless installation. Initially, he was fantastic — very professional and seemed very fair. He also drew up some very detailed plans. BUT, when the time came for the project, he increased the price by over 30%. When I (gently) pointed this out to him and asked if there was something I was missing, he became VERY belligerent. He also gave a series of confused and improbable explanations for the increase (for instance, he cited the increase in the cost of copper. But the project only entailed about 15 feet of copper tubing). In the end, we went our seperate ways.<\/p>\n
I can HIGHLY recommend the guy we found to replace Freed — Chris Cosentino. He is very knowledgeable, charged a better price than Fred, and has a great personality — laid back but with a great attention to detail. His contact info: mastersmindhvac@gmail.com
