As always, John delivered excellent service & results & I trust him.
Ester Kim
Ryan was great from start to finish. Easy to make and/or change your appt, confirmed, texted when on their way, and they were always within the window provided. Their timeframe windows were 2hr windows, where other places I called were 4-6hrs--one was a 12 hour window which was absurd. They diagnosed the problem, replaced the part, and did a comprehensive check of overall system and parts to double check. The only thing I wish was that the diagnostic fee was included if you accepted and had had them fix the issue. I know some places do that, but just know it's not, but it was fine. I highly recommend them!
Matt Steele
Darrin is the man. Quick and professional.
Miela Thomas
David is great. Carter and sons are super lucky to have him.
Beth Davis
Our AC unit was shaking so hard it was going to tear itself apart. Another company said they recommended replacing the entire unit, but we balked at the price of that. We called Carter and Sons for a second opinion, and they were able to replace the motor the very next day for a fraction of the price of a new unit. Darrin was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to call them for future HVAC needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Beth! We're glad you reached out for a second opinion and that we could provide a more cost-effective solution. Darrin will appreciate the kind words—we’re proud to have him on our team. Don’t hesitate to call us if you need anything in the future!

I like that they are local to Smyrna. When I called someone picked up promptly and was able to setup a convenient time for my maintenance appointment. The tech that was sent out was polite and knowledgeable and went through my system with me and provided a scorecard for how the system was. I will continue to use Carters and Sons for my HVAC Maintenance.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Theo! We’re proud to be a local Smyrna company, and we’re glad to hear our team was prompt, professional, and informative.
Shelly
I’ve worked with Carters and Sons for years. They always arrive when scheduled. They send a picture of the person doing the service so I know it’s the correct person.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shelly! We truly appreciate your continued trust in Carter & Sons HVAC. We're glad to hear that the technician photo feature helps give you peace of mind—it’s important to us that you feel confident and comfortable with our service.
Roger Hiles
I was very impressed by Carter & Sons—set up an appointment online for the next business day, Zac came promptly and was very professional and courteous. I needed a maintenance service call on my two A/C units and he did that, clearly explained the state of my system and next steps. There were text messages to alert me prior to the appointment, including one with a picture of the technician, which I appreciated having ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend this company and will use them again when I need HVAC service. Very pleased!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic review, Roger! We're thrilled to hear that Zac provided professional and courteous service. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to helping with any future HVAC needs.

My first appointment with Carter and Sons HVAC. Had appt originally scheduled for Monday. My wife and I were really burning up in our condo on Friday and my wife says "see if they can come today." I called C&S and spoke to Katie who was very friendly! Unbelievably, she worked us in on Friday between 3-5. I got home from work around 3 and waited and waited. Got to be 4:25 and I get a text from Zac saying he was on his way.
Zac got here right at 5. Very nice young man. We had a great chat while he worked on my unit. Turns out I just needed some refrigerant. Happy day! I am definitely happy I found C&S. I used Shumate for many years and they gave me great service, but I just felt like I wanted to try a new company. I know I found a great one! Thanks Zac and Katie for your great service, patience with all of my questions (Zac) and kind demeanor. I definitely recommend Carter & Sons!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Bob! It's great to hear that Katie was able to get you in on such short notice and that Zac took the time to address all your questions with a positive attitude. We will share your kind words with the team.
Leslie Riney

Super responsive and I am always pleased with the service. Highly recommend this company - thank you Adam!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your recommendation, J Free! We're glad to hear that Adam provided excellent service.
Cameren Rogers
Ain’t it always the way that your A/C decides to quit working right as it’s warming up outside? Carter & Sons literally saved our sanity by getting us back up and running after days of no air and getting up to 80 upstairs. They were available the day after I contacted them, were SO prompt (incredible!), and since the fix didn’t require any new parts, they only charged us for the visit out to our home and didn’t charge extra for our outdoor unit being on the roof. 10 out of 5 stars — we will be using them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic review, Cameren! We know how important it is to stay cool and we're happy we could provide prompt service. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate the 10 out of 5 stars!
Drew Kelly
March 2025: Carter and Sons installed a new Carrier system a few years ago. They did a great job at a very competitive price. They have serviced it twice a year since then. This visit was for a preseason tune-up. The tech arrived on time did their work efficiently, explained the bill, took my payment and left. So far, everything is working well. We appreciate their good work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Drew! We appreciate your customer loyalty.
Marcus Gramz
Our technician, Zac, arrived at our home promptly and conducted himself in a very professional manner. Not only did he diagnose the issue with our HVAC system, but he also efficiently fixed the problem, which turned out to be one of the dampers. Zac even provided us with a plan to replace the other dampers that will need replacing soon. His expertise and dedication truly make him an amazing technician and a fantastic representation of Carter & Sons. I am thrilled with the service we received and will definitely be using Carter & Sons for all of our HVAC needs in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch HVAC services!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Marcus! We’re thrilled to hear that Zac was able to diagnose and resolve the issue so efficiently. We truly appreciate your trust in us and are grateful for your recommendation.

I am so overjoyed we found Carter and Sons HVAC. We here at Gem Contractors Inc have had Carter and Sons come out twice in the last 2 months. Both times they have showed up EARLY, and saved us money! We will only be using them in the future!!

E. B.
Update: still the best! They did maintenance and were timely and communicative. Thorough and professional, can't praise them enough.

I cannot recommend them enough!!!

From Ryan's awesome service, to Dave's thorough work, and the entire staff, from installers to front desk and billing, we're communicative, friendly, and treated me like a community member, not just a customer.

The communication, timeliness, and pricing was great. Never felt pressured or like I was being upsold. Honestly good people, would definitely recommend and use them again.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the fantastic review, E.B.! It is always nice to hear our team is out that leaving a lasting impression on our customers.

Marie Holmes
I have no reservations about recommending Carter and Sons HVAC. My experience with them has always been great. I don't have to deal with an up selling session. They take care of business.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Marie! We always aim to provide honest, straightforward service without the pressure of upselling, so it's wonderful to know that resonates with you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to serve you in the future!
John Fugate
Had a very friendly and helpful technician come out to inspect and clean my system.

On the negative side, I had issues receiving a quote for some duct work. Easily and quickly scheduled someone to come out and give us a quote to redo our ducting in the house, and a very guy came and looked it over. Its been about a month with multiple reminders and we still have not received our quote. Unfortunate since we really liked the guy who came out!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about the inconvenience you encountered during the quoting process. Providing timely and reliable service is very important to us, and we regret falling short of your expectations. We’ll take this as an opportunity to review and improve our processes to ensure better communication and follow-through in the future.
