Purchased a changeout RUUD system in 2015 from SA Specialties. Very good price as replacement for original system. Fast and seamless installation. Company dropped price of system 6 months later and I decided to replace my other system although it was still working. Had...

More than met expectations
In July, 2018, SA Specialties came out and installed an inside and outside 16 sear unit. I had a couple of questions due to an issue just hours after installation, but the service tech came after hours that day and immediately solved the issue. They have different finance plans with zero interest which was extremely helpful. The salesman came out and gave me his advice for a new unit for my size home. He followed up with me a couple times after the unit was installed. A city rebate was issued less than a month and my utility bill went down due to the efficiency of the model I selected. Now here we are at the end of November, and I am so happy with the AC/Heat unit that I would definitely recommend SA Specialties

Under 2 years and several warranty calls already
It's been almost a month since our last warranty call and so far so good (this time). The guys they had install our unit are no longer with them I would hope. Senior techs had to come out and fix their screw up on the install. The original guys also replaced the ducts & added insulation in the attic, of which I would love to get a 2nd opinion on since it was the same 3 as the original install, all stumbling over one another like a clown comedy show. Our advice: Keep up with purchasing your yearly maintentance agreement with them, you'll probably need it even before you pay off your unit if you financed. We would never recommend them and have already needed a plumbing call but wouldn't dare call S.A. Specialties. The girls on the phone are one of the few positive experiences. So for that, we thank you.

Service Contractor Oscar
I was very pleased with Oscar the service contrsctor today. He came out and replaced the motor on the outside unit. And the motor was covered under the warranty too. I had no problems with him today. He was very polite and was very professionally today too. I am very pleased with everyone at SA SPECIALTIES Everytime I call the company the staff in the office are always friendly and polite and professionally to me over the phone. I would highly recommend SA SPECIALTIES them to anyone who is in need of a new A/C UNIT. So, if anyone is looking for a new A/C inside and outside this is the best company to get from. I give them A+++++ AND A 4STAR *****

SA Specialties - Air Conditioner Repair Review from San Antonio, Texas
Paid small fortune for a Lenox Brand New A/C system Worked great for 1 yr Now not working! So called company they sent A tech he said turn off and leave off for THE WHOLE NIGHT (Sweat to death in other words) Because he sd system completely frozen up w/3 inches of ice and would take at least 8 hrs to defrost and had to stay that way so they could diagnose problem the next morning So called company and spoke to Jim and asked if they had loaner portable a/c units for this type of situation Of course he sd not authorized to offer any thing like that.... The owner though was in his nice cool home with my money so what the hey! No skin off his back.... So finally next day another tech came and sd had some kind of a bad valve and said he fixed He was here for at least 3hrs But also had to correct another unrelated issue So the unit worked for 3 whole days and BAM it started again today.... Called company and was impressed that they had a tech here within the hour..... (Same one that fixed) BUT! He looked at everything and said could find NO PROBLEMS!!!! In the meantime my thermostat is set on 70 and it is 76 and rising in my house with 58 percent humidity!!! No problem my butt! So this thing will probably get to 80 or more degrees in my house tonight while owner stays cool in his house I know things can go wrong but when you pay a LOT of money for something that does not work then the company should have some type of loaner units To ensure customer is comfortable until they can figure out what is going on!! Tried to add photo of thermostat but this site could not get it Terri Reagan

S.A. Specialty AC Rips Customers Off
Beware of this air conditioning company! We did our due diligence getting written bids from several HVAC companies in town, S.A. Specialty came in with what we thought was a very fair price. The contract stipulated the equipment and we were told that it was all inclusive for changing out our existing heat and air unit. On installation day, everything was fine until they removed our old system and took it out to the driveway. Suddenly they wanted to add on charges for all sorts of things that were supposed to be included. It's over 90 degrees outside and my old system worked fine. They blackmailed us into paying over $1000 in "extras". They told us that they would let us out of our contract if we wanted, but they would charge $1275 to reinstall our old system. It's a holiday weekend and we could not get anyone else to come out and install the old system. We gave in and paid their "extras", however we want to warn anyone else about these crooks! Their "contract" is worthless.

I highly recommend SA Specialties. I bought a new central unit (5 ton) They are honest, friendly, and fast.
although we ran into some communication problems due to scheduling Jim,
crystal,Rubi,and Connie never gave up excellent customer service and feed back. Thank you so much guys...we love you guys.
We had our system installed a little over a year, We are vary happy with our new unit. On install Day the crew that was sent out was professional, clean, and courteous.
Vary Knowledgeable, answered all my questions, they explained how the system worked explained the t-stat to me.
I will recommend this company to everyone. THANK YOU SO MUCH S.A SPECIALTIES WE ABSOLUTLY LOVE YOU.
I think it's suspicious that Champion AC has advertisements all over this page.
Our new unit was installed less than 60 days ago and still under warranty. I come home to a hot house and its 100+ outside.
Called after hours and they were at dinner but did call me back. No emergency service calls are made after hours.
I have to wait until tomorrow. Not happy about this at all.
just wanted to clear the air but i had a complete change out at my house, and i had no problems at all the the install went well, the crew that went out are vary professional and clean. everything that they stated on the contract was exactlly what they said, i would recommend this company to all family and friends. it's been over a year, and im vary happy with my new system....
THIS COMPLAINT IS TOTAL FABRICATION.MY COMPANY WOULD NEVER CHARGE MORE AT THE TIME OF INSTALL.ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CAN BE DIRECTED TO JIM @ 658-****
Your company sucks!!!!!
From operators to owners!!!!!!
You did come out to my place yesterday and installed a unit. The unit froze when you'll left.
Came back to today and said our line is clogged and you cant do anything for you call that professional. I'm filing a complaint with the bbb.
