HR Manager is completely amoral and unprofessional, how she is allowed to work as a 'HR Manager' I do not know, she treats most of the employees appallingly and this is probably the reason for the high turnover in staff. Think carefully about taking a job here as you may regret it. Not a nice place to work, very tight knit and cannot trust most of the staff as they will talk behind your back and make you feel completely uncomfortable and push you out so you leave. Completely unprofessional company - would not recommend!

We're over the moon with our new heating and hot water system. Howard and Liam or (Chisel) and (Ham) as they were affectionately known for the 3 days they were here, couldn't have done a better job! They were very professional and went out of their way to please us and our German Shepard dog. They battled thru snow to get to us, tbh a lot wouldn't have traveled to the middle of the North Yorkshire moors from Hull in the conditions they did and we are extremely grateful they did and didn't leave us without heating. We would definitely recommend them. Nothing was too much trouble. Great job lads n thank you Stormie, Mark and Ziri

Right from the very first phone call with Dean, we have been very very pleased with everything Airco have done. Dean was very helpful and professional from first contact to completion. Everyone involved from Shane who came to do our survey and check we were happy with the install, through to John and his team who installed our new heating system, they were all very helpful and professional and I would recommend to anyone.

I have to say that these folks are brilliant! We were provided a costing from another company and some advice, and as you do - we got an alternative comparison. We saved a fortune as the other company advised our system could not be repaired as parts are not available. They said we needed an expensive replacement and the bill ran into almost 5K - Airco came, Dan was a great lad, really personable and knew his stuff - his team were equally great too and everything about them from the first impressions right through to the final job was great. Paul Baker was the final guy here and was also professional and personable.

Will use again without hesitation. I know these boys are not the cheapest albeit in this case they did save us money. But I have total confidence that they will give the right advice, provide a great service and be a pleasure to deal with. Keep it up guys Mark Nicholson Harvey George Ltd.
