"McCullough has been a fabulous service partner of ours for many years now, but really stepped up when we were having some very challenging issues with our system.

"As usual, they were prompt, professional, courteous, and supremely competent. Ryan was neat, well equipped, and on time. Communication about the appointment and arrival was smooth and seamless. I had them install my two systems and would do so again. This is a well-run company with excellent employees!"

"They sold me a comfort package for $28 per month for a year which included biannual inspections. I sold my house and they would not transfer the package to the new owner, they would not let me transfer the package to my new house and they would not let me cancel."

"I've had experience with several A/C & Heating companies in the area that didn't meet the expectations I thought I should have experienced. But Heating and A/C with the Georgetown location has met and exceeded my expectations."
