Review 1 (2017-06-13 - Rating: 5)
During a routine maintenance visit, the technician reported to me that my indoor air handler unit had not been installed correctly. He told me that my existing unit was functional but was being stressed and was not as efficient as needed for optimal air flow. He set up an appointment the same day with a sales representative and we decided to install a new air handler. An appointment was made within a week and a crew of three worked to install my unit in one day.This was a difficult and challenging install. I was pleased with the quickness and professionalism of all staff at Breezeways. My concerns were quickly and individually addressed by staff. I initiated a small additional change to the work order. No problem at all.I highly recommend Breezeways for any AC problems. I enjoyed their personal touch and consideration of my needs and concerns. They were quick, knowledgeable, experienced efficient. Great experience! -

Fantastic and timely service! Our AC went out late one evening. I called Breezeways at 6am and was greeted by a woman on the phone who took my contact info, a description of the problem, and told me the on-call technician would be in touch soon. The technician literally called me minutes later and then arrived at my home by 7am! Junior was not only extremely personable and kind and tolerant to my 2 dogs, but he found and resolved the problem in under an hour. It was a connector gone bad. Junior offered me the website coupons for discounts on service and for being a new customer, AND waived the visit fee for signing up for one of the company maintenance agreement. I did not feel that he was trying to up-sell me. This was an offer, just like any company who is trying to create and maintain business. He offered it with options, and excellent customer service - it was a no-brainer. AC is too important in AZ to NOT have a maintenance plan! Thanks so much Junior, and the team at Breezeways - this is how service SHOULD be done. -

I see this previous post I did:However, I dont know the gentleman who serviced my HVAC but was very thorough.Shawn was very thorough in his work and was very professional. He spent time with me explaining the root cause and even used color coded drawings to help me understand. He had to return because he didnt have the part, and still came by late after a long day of emergencies to get the job done on the day he committed to. Thanks Shawn! Best to you.A year later, I have to say I LOVE this place. Unprecedented customer service. Thanks to your Tanya for helping with my thermostat over the phone on a Saturday and assuring that we were comfortable. -

Breezeways is a company I would recommend to all family and friends. When I called the office a young lady named Sadie answered the phone very professional and kept a conversation going. She met all my needs and i was very satisfied. The tech Brandon was very friendly when he came to check my unit. This company is a 10/10 for me. -

Brian our Tech was very kind he called in the morning to see if I wanted some coffee. I thought that was very kind.He explained and showed me everything he was going to do. After they were done they cleaned up after themselves. Although they weren’t messy at all. We are very happy with him and the company. -

Chandler was friendly, knowledgeable and he gave me a satisfactory estimate, but the best thing was he and Ray were able to install the unit within 2 days in the 90 degree heat in a reasonable amount of time. He also gave me lots of info and the booklets. Beyond that he adjusted all of my vents which I was unable to do. I appreciate the professionalism and was very happy with my service. -

These guys are awesome. About a year ago, I called them up for some issues, and they set me up on an Energy savings agreement. A low monthly payment that guarantees 2 services a year to keep it running smooth and waive diagnostic fees for 3 years, in case anything went wrong. I strongly recommend these guys as they are honest and on time. I never had to wait past their ETA. Thank you Breezeways :) -

Ron was first rate in servicing our units during a period of Covid-19 social distancing. He was well protected as was I and we managed to keep our 2 meters in check. The service was quick, the review clearly presented, with no sales pressure. Ive always been pleased with Breezeways. -

Jordan Oliver was our technician. He arrived promptly and I noticed he sanitized, put booties and a mask on before greeting me. Jordan was very professional and and explained everything in detail regarding my two AC’s. I give this company a 10/10 for all areas of service and quality. What a great experience, especially during this time. Thank you! -

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Tonya W/ Breezeways Air Conditioning. I was in tears when we finished our call Monday morning. My AC went out Saturday and my 73 year old Uncle, with stage 4 terminal cancer is in my 90 plus degree house; Ive been worried sick. Tonya had a technician at my house within a few hours, to help get our AC issues resolved within 24 hours. She didnt stop there! While on the phone, Tonya even offered to help my daughters AC issue, checked her warranty and is got help to her and her newborn as well. This company just earned a customer and referral source for life!! Great service and genuine care for our situation. Thank you, Ray, Ron and Tonya! -

8/11/2016 - Update:The work to replace our thermostat was completed today and I am very satisfied with work. I would like to thank Brian for his efforts to help resolve the issue. I am once again a happy customer!==========================================================I will be looking for another company to maintain both my AC and Cooler units going forward. I have been having problem with my cooler thermostat for a couple of weeks so I called Breezeways to schedule an appointment to fix this and do my annual AC maintenance at the same time. The guy was up on the roof for maybe 10 minutes and then simply looked at the cooler thermostat for 1 minute and said it should be replaced but he did not have a unit in his truck and that he would call me back.Problems I have here:1. Does it really take only 10 minutes for a annual AC unit check. I am dubious that a thorough job was done.2. Second, the main problem for the service call was not even addressed, and now almost 2 weeks later and still no return call on when they can fix the thermostat.Too bad I cant give this review half a star or less because that is all that it merits. -

Wonderful experience at every level. Dave the salesman was professional and knowledgeable, the installers were quick and efficient. The pricing for the unit was in line with, if not less than others I had provided me quotes. When all was done, Dave came by to make sure everything was good and noted a tear in my new electronic filter and had it replaced in a timely manner. -

Workmen came to the house and were very attentive to our needs. They were especially careful about tracking dirt into the house and they cleaned up very nicely after the job was done. The whole set up was very professional. I’m happy with the results and the equipment they installed. I would recommend Breezeway’s highly -

I cant overstate the awesome service that I got and continue to get from Breezeways. Jose is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. He fully explained everything that was happening with my system and taught me how to maintain it. His experience and high level of integrity make him the best HVAC guy in Tucson. I would never work with anyone else! -

The work of Ray G was excellent! He did several things that had never been done by previous agents through the years. He explained what he was doing, and why so I could clearly understand. I would prefer Ray to all others that have been sent to my house in years past. -

The fan on our unit wouldnt shut off, even when we turned it off. When we called Breezeways, they said someone would be here between 3-5 PM. Ron was here a little before 3 and had us cooling down within 30 minutes! Ron was professional and pleasant to work with...Breezeways is always very concerned about their customers. Great company! -

They have maintained our A/C and heating for many years and replaced the units when they were no longer functional. The equipment they recommended and installed were great. They are efficient and are amazing for the price of the replacement. Their technicians are helpful, pleasant and know what they are doing. Thank you Breezeways. -
Review 21 (2019-05-09 - Rating: 5)
David Gonzalez was here for regular semi annual check on the air conditioner. He saw that the compressor and fan needed to be replaced. Indeed, the noise when the unit came on was a bit loud before. He returned today and installed the new compressor. He is personable and I enjoyed working with him. Kudos to David for doing a good job! -

Very thorough in examining the system, finding what the problem was, and offering a couple different alternatives to resolve it. A wonderful experience (other than needing to call in the first place, of course)! Very professional. We love Breezeways. Weve dealt with other companies through the years, and Breezeways BY FAR is the best! -
Review 23 (2017-05-16 - Rating: 5)
Excellent customer service from the technicians to the sales, all the way around. They all went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for our repair request which turned into a new unit purchase. They even paint matched a repair in our exterior wall which they did not have to do! Thank you and I have already recommended you to others!! -

The company called me the day before the appointment to remind me a technician would be coming the following day. The technician called me when he was on his way to my house. Rob S. wore a mask, which I appreciated. He explained what he was going to do and followed up with information about what he found. Rob S. was pleasant, personable, polite and professional. -

David Gonzalez came out and knew right away what the problem was with our AC. He knows HVACs inside and out! David is also very courteous and explains things in easy-to-understand terms. We like that he takes pictures of areas of concern on and around the unit on our roof. He not only shows them to us, he will put them in our file for future reference.As they say, a picture tells a thousand words. What a good idea!The gals in the office are also courteous and knowledge. All in all, we are very pleased with BreezeWays and recommend them highly. -

Breezeway is an excellent company to do buisness with. Not only does the company provide excellent service, but the employees are always professional and helpful. I have in fact suggested this company to others who might indicate a future need for airconditioning services. This kind of recommendation from me is rare and given only when I have confidence their experience will be positive. -

To be completely honest, if I had rated Breezeways a few years ago, it would not have been this high. But, since Junior started serving my AC unit, I have been extremely pleased. He is polite, pleasant, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things to me. He is frank about the cost (and apologetic when its high!). He also solved a problem that Ive had since the unit was installed - and I had asked every technician who came out about it. Junior was the first one to recommend a solution and I have been very happy with it.Today, I had to call for Saturday service - and much to my surprise, Junior was the person on call. He called me right back, apologized that he would not be able to get here until the afternoon, and keep me updated about his arrival time. He fixed the problem and took care of everything very professionally. -
