Questions

Do you cover all of Pine Island and Matlacha?

Yes, including ZIPs 33922, 33956. The company that calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.

How fast can someone come out?

It depends on the day and the season, and right after a storm it can take longer. Say in your request if the house has no cooling and someone at home is elderly or unwell, and ask the company what they can do.

Do I get a price first?

Yes. The technician diagnoses the problem and gives you a price before starting any repair. Ask what the diagnostic or trip fee is when you book.
