What our clients say

Denise Milner

Prompt friendly service. After a bad experience with another local a/c company, we contacted Chilled Heat for a repair job. The service tech turned up as scheduled and had the problem solved within 20 minutes (previous company hadn't fixed it in more than six months). Both the tech and admin staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Eric Yeoman

We had this team replace our main unit, insurance job, & install a unit in our bedroom. They have a great attitude & the 2 techs. were polite & friendly & very professional. They did very good & neat work. They even cleaned up, very rare these days. I absolutely recommend these guys. Thank you. Eric & Lyn, Buxton Qld.
