Eskimo 24 Hour A/C & Refrigeration

This business is a rip-​off and extremely shady. Charges people twice as much if not more than other A/​C businesses in the area. Stay Away!

I’ve had a bunch of issues with my a/​c unit spanning back for the last year. I wasn’t thrilled with my other servicer (who happened to go out of business) so I gave Eskimo a call. Couldn’t get a tech out in the evening even though advertised as 24 hour. Understandable though.
The next day I have an «after hours» visit at 5:00 to have a tech come check out my HVAC unit. I’m told there is a freon leak in the coils and I need freon added. $ 400 later for two pounds of freon… that’s fine. I expected to pay a decent amount for after hours. I ask for a quote for a new unit to get the ball rolling and rid myself of the headache that has been my old unit. The quote comes rolling in… about 2 grand more than any other estimate I’ve gotten from numerous other qualified and reputable companies. $ 5200 for a basic 14 SEER rated unit for a small town home. Unbelievable. I’ve had other quotes for $ 4200, 3750, and $ 3200. Amazing the differences across the board.
When I emailed Damien to discuss the rationale for the high number I was given a dismissive response. No explanation or counter offer. Stupid me for trying to give them a second chance. Really disappointed in their lack of professionalism. I find it disappointing when rumors of shadiness hold true.

I was taken for a ride. As an electrician I work around and have met many different technicians in every field of construction. Eskimo is by far the shadiest «professionals» I have ever allowed in to my home. I had an issue with my AC blowing warm. They came out, charged $ 250 to fix it, no problem. 2 weeks later, same problem, $ 400,good as new! Now, a month later, guess what?! Yes! Same issue. Now you would think a «professional» company would say «lets take a look for free” not «its a holiday weekend, it’ll be double unless you wait until Tuesday «. I show my dissatisfaction as any normal person who paid $ 650 for 2 visits would and I get attitude from this guy Damien?! The nerve, go with a real, professional company. You might have more issues than you started with if you call these guys. Just say NO to Eskimo.
