I live in Palm Desert and had been gone for a month when my air conditioning stopped working as I was due to arrive home and the temp was 112. General/Ivan came out quickly, diagnosed the problem, ordered the part. Unfortunately part took 3 days to arrive but I was given a portable unit for bedroom. As soon as part arrived Ivan returned, earlier than appointment and fixed it. he was very courteous, knowledgeable and explained everything very well to me. He was great!Thanks,Sherry G

Michael Irvin is an absolutely incredible technician who goes above and beyond to the nth degree. I got home from my daughter’s wedding to find our AC out on a 118 degree day. Michael came out and eventually determined I needed a new mother board. but the factory was saying they were backed up and it could take 6 months to get a new one. In the desert, we could be dead by then. My little 14 year old Maltese had been panting all night from the heat. Michael ripped a motherboard out of his own office to replace mine! This, after lying on the ground for hours trying to fix the unit in sizzling heat. I am so impressed with this company, and especially for this selfless man who should possibly be renamed Ghandi.

The general is our Air Conditioning, Electrical AND Plumbing Company at the Children's Discovery Museum. They are the only company we trust with the nuances of our different and aged units and various projects we have had. The General's technicians particularly Mike and Robert are extremely professional and VERY knowledgeable, so much so that we KNOW we can rely on them when needed. Thank you for being a vendor we can feel proud to recommend. We can't thank you enough.
