Quality of work varies sharply. Strong five-star reviews praise technicians like Larry and Ish for speed, expertise, and friendliness; they diagnose fast and complete jobs the same day. But multiple one-star reviews cite poor office communication, technicians unable to diagnose problems, no-shows, repeated reschedules without notice, and owner Ron's defensive handling of complaints. The company services residential and commercial work across Sanford and Central Florida. Generator and panel upgrades get brief mentions only. Home warranty customers seem particularly frustrated by delays and lack of callbacks. Staff names (Larry, Ish, Kew) appear in praise; unnamed technicians appear in complaints.
