1st Choice is an outstanding company with highly competent technicians and a sound team behind them. Their ethical treatment of us as a customer was a breath of fresh air.

I would highly recommend 1st Choice for so many reasons but if I had to sum it up....price, transparency, care, and consistency. Every single one of their guys that have come out have shown that level of care which is a true testament to the values the company exemplifies.

My wife and I have a rental property and the downstairs AC unit went out in 110 temperatures. They were there right away and had it replaced on a Saturday morning. These guys were very professional, clean and reasonable. They explained everything as they went along which we appreciated. Definitely recommend!

Great service, very professional, great pricing, will definitely use their services again, definitely recommend.<br>The manager Daniel was able to fix an installation issue due to rotted wood under the faucet, and turned an install problem into a win. Thanks again Daniel.

Great group of people to work with! We received a fair price and clear communication throughout the entire process. We always knew what to expect and when, which made everything feel organized and stress free.<br><br>Although there was an issue with the roof installation that caused some internal water damage, they responded immediately. They quickly sent out a roofing company as well as painters to assess and repair the damage, and everything was handled promptly and professionally.<br><br>It’s easy to recommend a company when things go perfectly, but it says even more when a company stands behind their work and resolves issues quickly. First Choice Mechanical AC did exactly that. I would definitely use them again.

This company was efficient, professional and helpful. Price is very reasonable. They changed the RO filters and drained water heater, they even brought in my garbage cans from the street!

Jeo did an amazing job helping me understand what issues my AC hand. He didn’t try and upsell me on service I didn’t need. He was honest and straightforward with his quote. I really felt he had my best interests in mind and wasn’t trying to nickel and dime me. I feel I can trust 1st Choice with any future fixes or installations. They will be the first ones I call. Great guy, great service, and great company. Well done sir!

Excellent service, Daniel came in as my 3rd est, the first were crooks! $1,800, Daniel did it for $1,000. Perfectly installed smart toilets. I’d work with them again, anytime.

I’ve used 1st Choice twice now for my AC and heating issues and I absolutely will not use any other company. They have the knowledge, integrity, and customer service that surpasses the competition. Shout out to Tim & Manny, thank you!!

My 30 day review. So far the 5 ton a/c and air handler is working fine which any other company could have gotten and installed<br>for a lesser price. Did research on the company showing A+ rating on several sites. My bad. Paid extra thinking I was getting a premium service. Here's my story.<br>Everything started out fine they removed my old unit then the problem's started. The air handler would not fit through the access door was to long so instead of bringing it back down and disassembling it to get it to fit they tried using a pry bar a few times then decided they would bang on my rafters trying to get it to fit for approximately 20 minutes.<br>While doing so dropped a water bottle and a drill onto laundry room tile floor luckily didn't break the tile. Then while banging on the rafters they dropped a hammer and put a hole in my ceiling along with hairline cracks where wall and ceiling meet 6' and 8' long on the walls underneath where the air handler sat. Tim came out and saw what had happened and told his crew cab to take the air handler down take it apart and reassemble it in the Attic which they should have done instead of trying to force it up.<br>Tim said he would have his drywall guy come out and patch it. Two weeks later their quality control man comes out and sees the whole assuming it was patched<br>Call the office and finally got the drywall guy to come out next day and repair it.<br>Took him 2 hours.<br>When they brought me my paperwork with warranty last name was spelled wrong.<br>Also the wifi thermostat they brought out has their logo lit up on a thermostat which to me is quite annoying and locking me into their services. It's like they're advertising in my home. Asked for another thermostat without the logo along with warranty papers with the correct last name. As of 9/24 still nothing.<br>Want to help out the local company's but now having second thoughts for doing it.<br>Good luck to those reading this.<br>(Update to 3 stars.) All issues have been taken care of. Just waiting some exteneded warranty papers work.<br>4 month update still getting excessive humming / vibration noise 5 minutes after heater cycle turns on. Woke me up twice last night. Had to call technician out again<br>To see if this can be corrected. Have been at four of my neighbors houses they do not have this issue. I will leave another update later to see if this ever gets corrected. Last time out was told to much refrigerant in the system.<br>Update 2/2/26. Jeo came out to install a soundproofing blanket and a soft start unit on the heat pump. Just got rid of the humming noise I had been hearing but now in heat mode temperature will not get over 75° coming out the vent so will not warm up the house. Call in and have another technician coming out to check it again. This is getting very frustrating.<br>2/3/26 Manny the technician came out found a crossed wire causing the compressor to shut down on the soft start unit. Removed the soft start unit and installed some pabs<br>Underneath the heat pump which helped lower the humming noise. Checked the temp. Coming out indoor vents was at<br>109°. Hopefully this is it for a while.<br>Thanks Manny

UPDATE:<br>Shortly after posting my original review, 1st Choice Mechanical reached out immediately to ensure my complete satisfaction. While a quality control follow-up is standard practice and I had simply slipped through the cracks, they took full ownership of the situation without hesitation.<br><br>A representative came out, answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and got me scheduled to repair the scuttle. The response was professional, proactive, and reassuring.<br><br>From reception to sales to the technicians, every team member I interacted with was top-notch, friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to making things right. Their willingness to listen and act quickly speaks volumes about their customer service and integrity.<br><br>I truly appreciate how seriously they take feedback and customer satisfaction, and this follow-up experience reinforced my confidence in recommending 1st Choice Mechanical.<br><br>ORIGINAL:<br>After attending a home show, I learned that 1st Choice Mechanical was offering energy audits and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. The audit itself was very informative, and I discovered that both my ducting and AC system were not compliant for the size of my home. 1st Mechanical provided a detailed quote, and after obtaining three additional quotes that were roughly half the price, I circled back to them because I was genuinely impressed by their professionalism.<br><br>I asked why their pricing was significantly higher, and they took the time to reassess the project, lowered their price, and clearly explained the differences in scope and quality between their work and that of other HVAC companies. Based on that transparency, I ultimately chose to move forward with 1st Choice Mechanical and was scheduled for the same week.<br><br>The installation team arrived on time, were friendly, and worked efficiently. They completed the entire project in one day, which was impressive. However, I was disappointed with the housekeeping and communication surrounding the work. Insulation was left in clumps throughout my xeriscaping/landscaping, and there were no preventative measures taken to protect items in my garage. My washer, dryer, bikes, TV, and other belongings were covered in insulation dust, and no cleanup was done upon their departure. While it only took me about 30 minutes to clean everything with a leaf blower and towel, I would have prepared differently had I known what to expect.<br><br>Additionally, I was told the team would only be working in the attic over the house and not the garage, and I wasn’t advised to remove or protect any attic items. When I later inspected the attic, I found a white substance on a suitcase that I was unable to remove. The only direction I was given beforehand was to move my cars out of the garage. I also noticed insulation falling out of the vents throughout the house, requiring me to remove the vent covers and vacuum them myself.<br><br>They replaced the scuttle hole as part of the project, but the workmanship there was subpar. The staples were not fully secured, the wood was already cracked, and the cover is slightly too small for the opening. Lastly, there was no follow-up from the team to check on how the project went or to address any questions or concerns. While some of these issues may be standard practice, they were not communicated to me beforehand or discussed afterward.<br><br>Based on other reviews, I am confident the ductwork itself was done properly, and I appreciate the warranty, which gives me peace of mind as we head into summer. Overall, I would recommend 1st Choice Mechanical to friends and family for their professionalism, technical knowledge, and quality of work, but I do wish there had been better communication and attention to cleanup and customer follow-up.

Daniel was a fantastic technician! He explained everything in perfect detail. He even fixed a RO faucet and wouldn't charge us. I appreciate Daniel and how his company operates.

I had a truly excellent experience with 1st Choice Mechanical, and I highly recommend this company to anyone needing HVAC service.<br><br>On November 17, 2025, the owner, Tim Rhoads, personally came to my home. From the very first meeting, Tim was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. He explained everything clearly and made me feel confident about the process.<br><br>On December 2, 2025, 1st Choice Mechanical installed my new all-electric rooftop HVAC system. The first team of technicians — Enrique, Mitch, Kevin, and Carlos — were absolutely outstanding. They were professional, respectful, polite, and highly skilled. They worked efficiently, kept me informed, and left the entire work area spotless when they were done. They also took their time teaching me how to use the Wi-Fi thermostat and made sure I understood everything before they left.<br><br>The following team of installation technicians — Thomas, Jose, and Logan — were just as impressive. Once again, I experienced the same level of courtesy, professionalism, and quality workmanship.<br><br>Finally, Nate Laidlaw, who handled the final inspection, was extremely professional and thorough. He looked over the completed project carefully and answered all of my questions with patience and clarity.<br><br>Overall, this company is awesome. 1st Choice Mechanical is not only highly professional but also kind, friendly, and honest — and that truly sets them apart. If you are unsure about what HVAC service you need or want a company you can fully trust, I strongly recommend contacting 1st Choice Mechanical, a family-owned business that genuinely cares about its customers from beginning to end.<br><br>I am extremely pleased with my new system and the outstanding service I received from everyone involved. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish!<br>We hired 1st Choice AC Repair for a full AC replacement, new ductwork, and insulation… and I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the moment they showed up, it was clear we were working with true professionals.<br>They were on time, incredibly knowledgeable, and walked us through every step so we always knew what was happening. The crew treated our home with so much respect, worked efficiently, and the quality of their workmanship is honestly next-level. Our new system runs flawlessly, the ductwork is spotless, and the insulation has already made a huge difference in how comfortable our home feels.<br>What really impressed us was their attention to detail and how committed they were to making sure everything was done perfectly. They didn’t cut corners, double-checked their work, and went above and beyond in every area. And the best part? They left our home cleaner than when they arrived — which is almost unheard of with this kind of work.<br>If you’re looking for an AC company that delivers exceptional work, communicates clearly, and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free, 1st Choice AC Repair is THE company. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!<br>Highly, highly recommend!

I am so impressed w 1st Choice Mechanical! Jeo, their technician was incredibly smart and personable! Explained every detail so clearly and presented many options for fixing or replacing 14 year old air conditioner! We ordered!<br><br>Meanwhile, this Saturday night our air conditioner basically died. I am scheduled for my new air conditioner in 10 days--however, I sent a text Sat. evening explaining our problem. They responded quickly and said a technician would arrive Sunday morning!! And the nicest young man showed up and confirmed the unit was basically not going to give me cool air BUT they will try to get my new unit on Monday! This is unbelievable service! Could not be more pleased!!! HIGHLY recommend these folks!!<br>Today Nathan and Justin did the impossible and moved up installation 10 days earlier than planned and jumped through hurdles to make it happen! Their service and commitment to excellence are leaders in their field and, also, the nicest people you'll ever meet!

Tim and Nate are absolutely WONDERFUL! I had 4 quotes to fix the hot/cold zones in my two story house. Each vendor all came to the same conclusion; however the solutions to my problem were all different and two were boarderline fraudulent! Tim took several hours to scour over my electric bills, perform an energy audit and then explain (NOT man-splain) several options to correct the duct work in my 30yo home. Nate came next to assure the plan was feasible without damaging anything structural in my attic. To top it off I was having company in 4 days so 1st Choice arrived at 7am on the agreed work day with 6 trucks and 7 men! They worked until 9pm in order to assure everything was operational. This type of service, attention to detail and honesty is rare and I greatly appreciate the quality and value of this family run local business.

Kevin Carlos Jose & Logan did a great job installing our new A/C system. Thanks for all your hard work.

Mary Winter

I hired 1st Choice for two projects. A/C ventilation updates in the attic and a variety of plumbing fixes. The crew for the A/C ventilation project was great. Covered everything in my closet since attic access is in the closet. They put cloths on the floor to prevent tracking in dirt and cleaned up very well. The plumbing projects were replacing faucet parts, replacing leaky hose bibs and a water heater flush. Brandon was very professional, knowledgeable, and explained what he was doing. Price I noted is for both projects.

We had both our AC units break in the middle of the summer. 1st Choice immediately came out, presented multiple options and ultimately gave us the best price with an immediate installation timeline. Manny, who we worked with from start to finish is an ALL-STAR! He was able to trouble shoot some of the hiccups that presented themselves, communicated and worked late to ensure my family and I had AC in our home. He BEYOND exceeded expectations and is a true asset to the 1st Choice team!<br>Additionally, there was an unexpected error that occurred which required the ownership to get involved and, again, their execution, communication and follow up EXCEEDED expectations. I am grateful for their time and for all the hard work. I would recommend 1st Choice to anyone!<br>Thank you again to Manny and the entire team at 1st Choice!!

My A/C system had been limping along a bit, and finally died. i did an inquiry through Yelp and 1st Choice Mechanical responded right away. Jake came out and opened the unit up and documented all the issues for me (it was really quite a mess). There were several items that obviously needed replacing and a great deal of cleaning to do. The cleaning and repair was finished swiftly and the unit sounds and works so much better.<br><br>The people from 1st Choice Mechanical were all very lovely to work with and very professional. i will be happy to continue working with them in the years to come to do a better job of maintaining my system. i'm so glad i contacted 1st Choice Mechanical.

Guys....stop searching. Use 1st Choice! We were referred to 1st Choice and are 100% satisfied!<br><br>The ease of setting up the repair online and picking my own time slot was great. Our unit ended up having a refrigerant leak. Justin showed me a video of the leak, provided options for the repair and explained the Blue Ribbon plan. The leak was repaired on the same visit and we did go with the plan! Now we have peace of mind!<br><br>Justin and Jake where our techs. They were efficient, friendly and professional. Well done!!

Outstanding plumbing expertise!!! Branden is the best plumber who will ever step foot into your house. He can handle complex problems and will not be satisfied until the job is done -and done well. We have used him for years for all plumbing needs big and small.

Our AC went out yesterday. We were worried about financing but Manny came out early even and took his time explaining our options. The gentlemen who came out today were very thorough and knowledgeable. So thankful for the help we received. God bless you guys 🤗

Their sales rep at the home show was making sexual references "Over hear size really matters" followed by we can lower you energy bill. With all the kids around there I was disgusted by how you represent your company. I will be sure to never spend money with your company, clearly your integrity is lacking.

They were very professional and gave me honest pricing for our AC repair. Really recommended you go with them if you want someone that looks out for your families safety!

My issue turned out not to be HVAC but a water leak. They coordinated with the plumber and then a water mediation company. Very smooth transactions with each contractor.

Michael Rodriguez

The 1st choice rep that has assisted us with the work needed has been very patient with us in understanding why the ducts need the attention for the h/p system needs the necessary upgraded work and the pricing I believe is reasonable doing ac work myself. Looking forward to the long time benefits.thanx for working with us and our 2 daughter's houses.

Brandon was terrific! I’m so glad they are doing plumbing now. Brandon was so nice and very professional. I love that they put the customer first! 1st Choice is always so honest! Tori is always a pleasure to work with and the owner Tim is fantastic. I wouldn’t use any other company!

Brian Smith

Jake was awesome! He took the time to explain the issue and what was being replaced and even showed me the broken pieces after he replaced them which was cool. Everything about the visit was great and I will definitely be calling 1st Choice for any future issues or concerns we have with our AC!

I had my AC go out at night, booked online which was super easy, they reached out immediately. They booked me, communication was ongoing, showed up on time and Jake was awesome. I would recommend to everyone and 1st Choice will be my go to going forward. Excellent experience!

We had such a great experience with 1st Choice from start to finish. The team immediately responded to my inquiry and was able to schedule someone the very same day—literally within just a few hours.<br><br>When Josh arrived on site, he brought a burst of positive energy. He was very knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the issue with our water heater. Even better, he was able to service it on the spot and confidently promised we’d have hot water within 45 minutes. His words did not disappoint—just as he said, the hot water was back and running!<br><br>Josh left us feeling confident in his expertise and professionalism. He was personable, relatable, knowledgeable, and fast while still delivering quality work. We were so impressed that we now want him to inspect the entire home as we continue settling in.<br><br>Thank you to Josh and the entire 1st Choice team for your promptness, professionalism, and genuine care. It’s companies like yours that make customers feel truly valued. We look forward to working with you again for future home improvements!<br><br>If you’re looking for a trusted company, please don’t hesitate to inquire today!!

We had a a full HVAC replacement with 1st Choice Mechanical in 2024. In the summer of 2025, it was discovered that the AC unit was not installed correctly by the installer, causing the pan to leak, and causing our ceiling drywall to cave in. Given that this happened, First choice was very responsive to what took place, they are currently taking care of everything that happened and have been very responsive to me and keeping me up to date with everything... The only thing I can really say is that their after hour answering service sucks, and that's putting it nicely.<br><br>Things happen in life, mistakes happen. Nobody got hurt, and 1st Choice is doing everything they can to make things right, so I can't fault them for that. I'd honestly still give them 5 stars if it wasn't for the after hours service that the owner is already scheduled to discuss with them.

1st choice was crazy fast scheduling someone to come to the house. Jeo inspected our unit and gave me a great breakdown of where the problem is, recommended a resolution and broke the cost into an easy to understand estimate.

I can't say anything about the prompt schedule of a inspection of our AC and heating to make sure everything is running smoothly. I got first rate service from Justin, he was respectful of our home and very communication on our issues and addressing the issues.

Just had some tweaks made to my system after the 1st. month.<br>The system has worked great since day one but I had some issues with these people after my initial installation caused some peripheral property damage. The problem drug on longer than I felt it should have to repair that damage. I now feel that that delay was caused by miscommunication on both our parts. That damage is now repaired. I was happy enough overall to use them again to replace my 30-year-old Water Heater that came with the house when I bought it. In doing that install everything was updated to current code. I would not hesitate to refer this company.

We had an AC unit installed two years ago by a company that went out of business shortly after the installation. At the one-year mark, we contacted 1st Choice Mechanical Cooling and Heating for a yearly service. The technician who came out was knowledgeable, complimented the installation of the ducts, furnace, and outside unit, and assured us there were no concerns.<br><br>This year, at the two-year mark, we scheduled another yearly service with 1st Choice. However, the new technician gave us a very different assessment. He advised that about 50% of our ducts were not properly sealed, found tape covering an important section of the furnace (which he replaced with screws, warning of potential carbon monoxide risks), and noted that the outside unit was using excess energy, causing it to start and stop harshly. He then provided a list of costly repair and maintenance options.<br><br>Because this diagnosis completely contradicted what we were told the year prior, I contacted 1st Choice and explained the situation. I asked that another technician inspect the unit for confirmation and was told by the representative that a supervisor would call me back immediately and that the inspection would be free of charge. While they did waive the fee, no one has followed up with me, nor has there been any concern or effort to resolve this issue.<br><br>From my experience, it feels as though the company would rather ignore the matter than ensure their technicians are providing consistent and reliable service to their customers.

I just had my quality control inspection, and Josh looked at everything with a critical eye and committed to rectify some additional items that were not done 100% to his satisfaction. The QC concept is unique from my experience with other contractors, and it was refreshing to have an honest assessment of the items that could be further tweaked to ensure the A/C system is working optimally.

Our air conditioner was blowing the breaker, and Jeo came out to check on the system. Turned out to be a bad capacitor, which Jeo replaced and got the system up and running. The true reason for the five star review is that Jeo went above and beyond to assess the health and any issues with the system, and then explained the results to me. Learned a lot, including how to use our three zone system most efficiently.<br><br>As a public service I want to mention that a capacitor failure at the condenser is VERY common. If you’re handy, and not pressured for an immediate fix, consider replacing the capacitor as a first line of repair. It will cost about $30 for the part from Amazon. We paid over $500 for this service, which is inline with what other HVAC companies charge- within the last year we’ve had about four friends with this issue, and the cap replacement was $550-$600

When our a/c went out overnight, Jake came over within an hour of my call. He diagnosed the problem and was able to get the system up and running within a few hours! He was very professional, knowledgeable and it was great that he had the parts needed in his truck! Will definitely use again.

1st Choice exceeded my expectations in terms of knowledge and professionalism across every aspect of my project. They found and fixed my a/c and insulation issues. Ricky, specifically, can teach a master class on this topic. You can believe, they are my first call for any future needs. I highly recommend them and will continue to refer them to anyone needing cooling or heating services.

They came right out, diagnosed, and worked with us to get the timing of the replacement and our budget to align. The install was super smooth. Really appreciate their quick response and installation experience.

Excellent professional service! Jake did a great job of troubleshooting and repairing my AC unit. He was very knowledgeable,kind and pleasant.

This is a great company. We had an annual service done and the technician was outstanding! Not only did he give us a pre call, he walked us through everything he did. Notified us of some potential future problems that could happen based on the information that he collected during the service. I really don't think this group of people are trying to sell you stuff you don’t need, they honestly just want the best for you and your unit.

I'm very impressed with 1st Choice Mechanical! I came across their Instagram post and quickly obtained an online quote. Within just a few minutes, I received a phone call from Ethan, who promptly scheduled my free estimate for the next morning. He was very courteous.<br><br>Today, Jeo Gonzalez arrived on time. He explained everything in detail and took photos of the unit so I could see its condition. He provided me with several options, spoke very highly of the company, and expressed confidence in its promises and integrity. Jeo was both professional and courteous. Thank you, Jeo!<br><br>This is a great company to work with, and they also offer a veteran discount.

He is a very certious young man. He is welcome to come back and work here again . Thank you for your service.

I've gone through over a dozen different HVAC companies being in the real estate industry and owning a management company and hands down 1st Choice Mechanical is THE BEST IN ARIZONA! I'm super critical when it comes to trades and it takes a lot to impress me however they've exceeded my expectations in every way. Most recently I had an AC go out at a rental this past weekend at midnight (in July), so I shot them a message thinking I'd hear back the following morning or Monday. Sure enough, they got right back to me and their technician Spencer (shout out to him) actually drove out there and took care of it at 1am. I continue to be impressed by them every time they come out and they have earned a client for life. I've met most or all of their techs and every one of them is professional, communicates well, and are all very knowledgeable. They're always up front and honest and their pricing is very fair. I will be referring all my clients and business to them. Thank you 1st Choice for everything!!! (And no, they didn't pay me for this review)

Great service! Both Jeo and Preston are professional, timely, and proficient! We’ve called on 1st Choice a couple of times and each time they were able to come out the same day. Important in Phoenix heat! We highly recommend the company, specifically Jeo & Preston! Nice work, gentlemen!!!

Excellent service! Justin was our tech and did such a fantastic job! We will be using them again for any of our AC needs. The reason for the call was a clogged condensation line. I called multiple HVAC companies and 1st mechanical stood out as the best. Thank you so so much for getting to me quickly and efficiently and being reasonably priced!

Dean is heaven sent to us. He did a thorough check on our AC. He explained very well the current condition of our unit and gave us several options. My wife and I felt the professionalism and sincerity from Dean and the company that he is representing, 1st Choice Mechanical. We truly trust this company from the very first time we did transaction with them through Dean.

1st Choice Mechanical does amazing work. They're always friendly and do professional work on everything from preventative maintenance, to clerical work like scheduling and billing, to major repairs and now we just got a brand new unit installed. We're always happy with the level of work they do. Been using them for 4 years now and I'm glad we finally have a team that we'll use for as long as we live in Az. They're the best.

Last year I had another company come out twice, but they couldn’t find the root cause of my AC problem or clearly explain what was wrong. Spencer from 1st Choice Mechanical quickly identified the real issue and explained everything in detail so I could understand. I really appreciate his thoroughness and clear communication. Highly recommended!

Preston did an excellent job explaining how our system worked (to the point of drawing pictures!). He serviced the unit and checked everything out in the attic (again, including pics so we could see what he was talking about.) Superior communication, service & timely! Highly recommend this company

Kevin and Carlos did an amazing job, super clean, respectful and communicated exceptionally well during the installation process. They arrived on time, worked hard all day in the 105+ degree heat (and in the attic). I was very impressed with how clean they worked protecting the work area. We would recommend them highly.<br><br>Update: We had a little issue the day after installation (4th of July) where I couldn’t get the system to cool (my wife was on a zoom call in the room and had to retreat to another room). I messed around with it trying to figure it out without the operating/instruction manual. I messaged for help and they responded quickly, I also requested the manual (numerous times) to try and troubleshoot on my own. They promptly scheduled me for the afternoon of the following day. No mention of manual.<br><br>The following morning I messed around with it for a bit and got it running. The issue was more than likely user error (hence the request for the manual). I messaged them once I got it going so they wouldn’t have to waste a trip, also requesting a manual again. GHOSTED.<br><br>By the way, they never responded to us about canceling the appointment but I guess they got it because no one showed up. From a company using the latest system of multiple text messages and emails I find this worry some.<br><br>5 stars for Kevin and Carlo’s the install team<br>2 stars for customer care on the sales/logistics/customer care.<br><br>Crossing my fingers that after spending 5k for a system we aren’t in for a frustrating (3 year) warranty period.

Jeo was very thorough, professional and considerate. He went over everything and with photos and explained as he went through each one. He wore booties every time he came in as well. Overall really great experience!

I came home from vacation to a broken AC, within an hour of me calling 1st choice a technician named Jeo showed up. He was extremely professional and efficient and had my AC up and running in no time. The honesty, transparency, and integrity this company stands for is unmatched! Would highly recommend!

Jeo is AMAZING! No lie one of the best experiences i have had with someone. Very friendly and got right to root of the issue. I didnt have cash and i offered to tip him via Venmo and he wouldn't allow me. Great guy, great company. Got here in less than 1 hour to fix our AC

Dean came out to service our AC unit and he was amazing! From the moment he arrived, he was punctual, professional, and clearly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the issue in a way that was easy to understand, and he worked efficiently to find a solution to get everything back up and running. Would highly recommend!

We were impressed with the quick appointment time since our a/c had malfunctioned on a hot day. Jake was knowledgeable and answered our questions after his inspection. Maybe a little hard sell but he knew his stuff

Honest, professional, knowledgeable.. All around great company. This is the 4th company we’ve had come out in the last few months, each company came out a few times, so it’s been quite the fiasco with several days spent in 85+ degrees inside on the days that it’s been exceptionally hot out. These guys actually spent the extra time here to figure it out and they offer a guarantee on our contract so if their replacement does not fix the issue they will put our family into a hotel until they do. They’re also considerably cheaper than other companies and they broke down the issue for us so that we could understand what was happening. Professional and polite when in our home as well. Very happy with Manny, his apprentice, and 1st Choice Mechanical. Thank you!

1st Choice just installed a new HVAC system and I could not be more pleased with the service. EVERYONE from Tori in the office, whom I have decided to adopt as my grand daughter, to Brendan and Eric that installed the system, have been truly fabulous. The communication, follow up, timeliness and genuine care for me as a customer was simply outstanding. Their work ethic and respect was beyond…as in how things should always be when in the customer service industry. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and this company. Thank you does not do justice, but THANK YOU!!! You have a customer for life.

I was impressed with the service and professionalism from 1st Choice Mechanical. Preston and Jake were very knowledgeable, polite and professional. Their service was far above the past three companies I used for air conditioning service. I highly recommend 1st Choice Mechanical and plan to use them annually for service moving forward. Thank you!

I'm glad I went with 1st Choice Mechanical services. They were fast, very professional and skilled at what they do. There was no sugar coating as far as my quote went and had great prices for all services. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

These guys are a GOD send. I had an issue with my AC and they came out on the same day. That right there is amazing. When they came out, they took the time to review my unit and went over everything step by step. They were very knowledgeable. They also checked my thermostat inside and went to the attic to make sure my system was working well in there. I honestly could not have asked for a better company and I’m so glad I picked 1st Choice Mechanical. They got everything straightened out and my AC unit is in tip top shape. No tricks, no secret fees or miscellaneous costs. I know exactly what I need to do for maintenance going forward. I’m a 1st time homeowner so all this stuff is new and scary to me. They really took their time to explain everything to me and I’m so appreciative. I’ll definitely recommend them to everyone. They really care about their customers and the service they do

I had 1st Choice Mechanical out for my summer AC tune-up, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The technician was prompt, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They were thorough and efficient, making sure my system is running smoothly and ready for the hot months ahead. It’s always a relief to work with a company that’s honest, dependable, and truly cares about customer satisfaction. Highly recommend 1st Choice Mechanical for any HVAC needs!

Spencer was fantastic! He worked closely with us, pointing out everything that needed repair, and then discussed costs with us. So far, the experience has been great.<br><br>Update review during the work and after:<br><br>There were a few instances of miscommunication and minor hiccups, but I still want to give them credit. They listened to my concerns and made the necessary adjustments.<br><br>Although the initial estimate had some miscommunication, they remained proactive after I expressed my concerns. Multiple people called to speak with me, which showed that they genuinely cared about my feedback.<br><br>Cool thermostat!! See photo.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE: This company has had strong presence of advertising is my neighborhood in recent months (west valley/Glendale, AZ). So I though I would give them a try.. I called and set a appointment to have them give me a quote on some AC duct work in the attic. At first, it was great work customer service and they scheduled me quick. I was eager to work with them. Then I received a call back from there manager Torrey. She asked me how old my units are. I told her they where three years old. She then said, why don't call you call the company that installed them". I stated i couldn't because there out of business. I stated to her that my units where functional it was duct work that I needed work on. She then stated that she would call be back and that she needs to speak to the owner. Five minutes later I got a call back and they stated there declining my business. I asked " why aren't you a AC company. She stated they don't want to take any liabilities. I believe this is a very small company that chooses the work they would like to perform and not here to serve my great community/neighborhood. Possible start up company that's just in the service world to make a buck.. or they just want to install new units for you.. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. I will not refer this company to family, friends and neighbors.

Working with 1st Choice on a full HVAC replacement was a fantastic experience start to finish. Everyone on the team was exceptional and skilled. The estimator was honest, courteous and professional. He smelled and fixed a gas leak I didn't even notice due to my allergies. Their pricing is reasonable, they were patient and held pricing for us. They installed everything as promised. The installers exceeded my expectations in every way. They were on-time, courteous, professional, quick, quiet, finished the project early, and cleaned up everything as promised. I am impressed by everyone I encountered at this company. They came back to do a post install test and made special accommodations for me whenever I needed them. I highly recommend them on any HVAC project or repair you may have. A shout out to Preston and Nathan for their patience, knowledge and skill. Thank you!

This was our second time having 1st Choice Mechanical out for an AC tuneup, and we’re happy with our choice.<br>Very impressed with Preston. He was very knowledgeable and showed me the ins-and-outs of the AC unit and how it should run properly. He opened the thing up and really gave it a much needed deep clean.<br><br>Will hire again for future needs.

Jeo was great. He went up on the roof and saw a problem with the switch. He changed it out, and now the unit is running better. Thank you for coming out so quickly.

This guy's install new ac at my house, cause damage to the ceiling and attic access, Abraham see with his own eyes the damage and he decided to deny,need to wait like 3 weeks for repairs, third party company perform this job Charlie did great job, the 2 young guy's who install the attic ac was very frustrated because the old unit was more big they decided to cut the unit in pieces (all good with this) but I don't know why one of them decided to dismantle the new unit as well, the new one is more smaller than the older and fit good,the guy was pulling like crazy power cables, I asked him why, he said I need to do this,finally he destroyed. I'm not sure if there's broken cables tied with some tape, to me just to make more light weight maybe was to heavy for them, also I offered my help to lift up the unit, the unit is about 70 to 90 pounds maybe, I lift the unit in the ground by my self with 2 surgery in my shoulder.<br>Don't trust about the arrival time, arrival time was at 12pm and arrived around 5pm, I waiting until 7pm and I decided to leave my house open until they finish up the installation, they promised to replace all the batteries from smoke alarm, I asked already again and no one responded.<br>At the same time I was placed one appointment to my other property just for AC unit maintenance my unit was working perfectly before when the gentleman comes down from the roof he showed me a free quote for over 3 thousand dollars, I refused to go forward with this very bad repairs, my AC unit is working well until now a little noise after the maintenance but working condition, I got the special price for ac maintenance almost $20 and the lady by phone call trying to charge $80.<br>I'm not recommended this Facebook AC company, the trick in Facebook page is different from reality.<br>The Gentleman who attended first time at my house he is very professional that's why I decided to sign in the contract for replace the AC unit, also Sr thank you for your Military service, honestly the only person in the company with professional knowledge from maybe 7 people I dealing with.<br>I just hope my new AC continue working fine same with my other property AC .<br><br>You guys asked me for honestly review.

1st Choice Mechanical continues to provide timely and efficient service. James and Anders worked continuously all day on AC unit replacement. They did an amazing job on the installation and were completely professional. 5-star service!

James Frye, Andres Nevarez, Brody Dalton and Loagan Hainline. Best install crew I've ever encountered. Really thinking about adopting these guy. Young, full of hustle, they did a fantastic and complete job installing 2 units. Answered all of my questions throughout the day and in my opinion went above and beyond. Looking forward to future projects I have in mind. Thanks Manny for the initial assessment.

Was quoted 19k for a new unit. 1st call I made to a competitor for a second opinion was $7800. 1st choice called me the next day to follow up. I told them their price was too high. They then offered to drop the price to $10500. I declined. If they would have quoted $10500 to begin with and not tried to gouge me I would have hired them. Because of their attempted price gouging I went with king mechanical and got my unit replaced for $7800.

Let me first start off by saying I appreciate everyone at first choice for taking care of my father and installing two new AC units. Special thanks to Tori for handling all the finance questions for myself on behalf of my father. Big shout out to Dustin and James who worked all day to handle the installation of a huge job. (Sorry if i got the names wrong). It's not easy to please my father, but he was very pleased with the great customer service and installation he received. I have been using first choice for my personal home for two years and referred 1st choice to my father because I knew that the service would be great. I highly recommend first choice, a family own business who service is excellent. Thanks again for taking care of pops. He can now sleep well.

My name is Kim and Over the years I have had several AC companies look at my air conditioning unit and fill it with Freon or tell me that the Freon SR22 would no longer be available and the ONLY option was to replace the unit. I had someone refill the Freon in 2020 and they said that I had a small leak and the coil pans were rusted. I had two separate technicians, this month that added more Freon and told me that the pans were rusty and that I apparently had a big leak in the coil’s… when 1st Choice Mechanical was recommended to me by my son-in-law, Tim came out and did a full assessment and provided a video and pictures of what it looked like in my attic. He explained every option possible for me to repair or replace my air conditioning unit and at the time my home was 88° and had been that way for about a week. Tim suggested replacing the unit, repairing the unit, financing the cost, and several other options. I chose to finance the replacement of the coils where the leak was. The pricing was extremely reasonable. I had no idea that the pans were rusted to this extent. It looked absolutely disgusting and I am so disappointed that no one ever explained the extent of the damage that had taken place in my attic. Tim and Brandon arrived early in the morning and went to work. They checked in with me throughout the entire process. They shop vac’d my carpet and stairs, they wore foot coverings, they were so kind and professional. OMG! This company is amazing and should be on CNN HEROES… I felt so blessed to have them do the repair and I am so thankful to my son in law for the referral. Do not waste your time calling any other company because I can guarantee you that no one is as good or professional, friendly, expedient or experienced as 1st Choice Mechanical
