Recommended Customer Reviews

Rex was on time, knowledge, fixed my AC issues, didn't break the bank, and departed with my satisfaction. Call them for your AC repair needs.

I found LaVerne & Sons on Yelp. They had good reviews, and I needed an electrician to install 2 GFI outlets in our rental property. When I called and explained what I needed, the receptionist was courteous and explained I would save money if I purchased my own GFIs. I scheduled and they came out on time. I received the bill for $255. I called and asked the tenant how long they were there. The tenant explained it took them approximately 30 minutes to install the GFI.
Long story short
They charged $25 per GFI. I take responsibility for that because life got busy and I forgot to buy them. BUT $25 each!!!!
Then $180 charge for labor. When I asked why, they explained they had to go to the store and buy GFIs. I would think GFIs and receptacles would be an item they would keep stocked. Anyways great customer service horrible prices. They weren't willing to forgive the $90 charge for labor in which they were probably driving to Floyd's to buy the GFI that only cost $10 at the most. No thank you... I'll take my business elsewhere.

On 7 March 2018 they put in a new air conditioner for me. Chris, Rex and the other employees did an awesome job in a professional and positive manner. It was great to be treated as a valued customer.

We were having an electrical issue that needed prompt attention. Unfortunately it was a Saturday and very short notice. I found La Verne & Son on Yelp and saw they were available 24/7.
I called at 9:30am and Christina found someone who would be there between 11-1.
Rex and his son came around 11. The electrical problem was fixed in about 15 minutes.
Very professional company and I will definitely be calling them if I need any more work done in the future.

Our air conditioner from Laverne and Sons has not been working, we can set to 60° and it never drops below 93° in our home. Mind you its been mostly triple digits the last few weeks. Our air conditioner is still under warranty and is plenty big for our small home. So, their first service guy comes out about 4 hours late and tells us he changed the coil outside and that it's fixed. Definitely was not! Called them back, and was told unfortunately they do not do warranty work on the weekends. Second time same service guy, tells us nothing is wrong with it, and we just have ""too much stuff"" in our home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Definitely don't have too much stuff! My husband then checks and sees that both the indoor and outdoor coils are frozen. We take pictures and call again. I get a call from the office this morning telling me they are sending out a new service guy between 3-5pm, for a new set of eyes, and when I told her ""I thought your guy just gave us a new coil"" she said very snotty ""he replaced a wire and fixed it that's why the coils are freezing"". And here it is 4:17pm and we just received another call stating they are not coming because we need to leave the air off for a full 2 days to defrost the coils. If we run the air we can get the house to 93° , when we leave it off like we did all night and all day today it stays in the triple digits. And now they won't even answer our calls. We have 3 asthmatic people in the home, one of which is an infant, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT OK. NOT HOW YOU RUN A BUISNESS, OR TAKE CARE OF WARRANTIES! DO NOT DO BUISNESS WITH THIS COMPANY!

These guys are the best! I called them after having issues with my home warranty contractor and they answered after 7:30pm on a Friday and had someone there to fix it 1st thing the next morning. The tech was very friendly and explained everything. I will never call anyone else for my AC maintenance and repair.

Rex LaVerne and his crew were stellar in installing our new ac/heating system! They were very professional, helpful, and thorough, leaving no doubt we were in very capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure they left everything in pristine condition!

Ruben saved the day. Our ac was not working, Ruben came in diagnosed the problem and got us back in comfort. Our attic had to be 110+ degrees and he was always smiling. Thank you Ruben.

My 10-month old puppy chewed out the cables from the AC unit outside and shorted out a circuit. The technician, Ruben, was very effective on the diagnosis and repair of all the affected components. He was professional, proper and polite. I had some concerns with the price of the job, but Rex, the owner explained things to me to my satisfaction. I felt nothing but honesty and integrity from this company. They puppy-proof all the cables and fixed my AC just in time for the 112 degree weather coming up. Thank you!

Laverne & Son has taken care of my 22 year old HVAC for several years now. Ray did a great job of keeping it going. When the compressor finally went out I bought a new system. With temperatures over a hundred degrees all week I had to go to a hotel. Several installs were already scheduled for that week so the owner, Rex, put in the unit himself. He worked with his son to get it done in one day instead of the usual two days. I really appreciated him going the extra mile to help me and my family!
