My AC unit outside was malfunctioning and the connections were frosted over which was a sign of bad news. We found the "Cool Connections" business card and gave Joe a call. He immediately came over and assessed the problem, and explained it to me in detail, gave me several options and fixed it. I was impressed by his vast knowledge of HVAC equipment for a guy so young. My wife and I have total confidence in his abilities to remedy any given situation. My unit upstairs was pretty old and almost obsolete and the evaporator coils were toast! Once again "Cool Connections" came to my rescue and saved the day. Now I keep his business card on the fridge with the rest of my honey-do lists!
