I purchased an a/c system form this company and was unhappy with the install. Three days after my unit was installed it stopped working. It took this company three days to come and fix it then three days later same thing has happened again. As I have done my research I have discovered that owner Miuchael P watkins was convicted of Sexual Assault on a minoe under the age of 16. You can verify this at the department of corrections website. Here is the link: http://www.dc.state.fl.us/InmateReleases/detail.asp?Bookmark=4&From=list&SessionID=872794946
Do not let this criminal into your home or around your children. This person is obviously scaming people. I cant believe that the state of florida would licence someone like this.

#8 UPDATE Employee
THESE ATTACKS ARE UNWARRANTED, UNMERITED AND CHILDISH
AUTHOR: JA - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 24, 2012
I Have worked for This man at (2) separate companies, on separate occasions. This appears, once again, to be just another disgruntled over-weight, uneducated, drug-addicted former employee. Anyone one with a reasonable lick of sense would know that sites like this give under-privilegded people the opportunity to express their grievance against a good man, or to pander to undisclosed loyalties, because they are too cowardly to tell him personally. It's no wonder why there are so many welfare recipients recieving benefits as a direct result of my employers hard labor. Mike is a very compassionate, well-educated and professional man, who caters to his employees needs more than I think he really should. He is more inclined to help a customer then anything else. Furthermore, the allegation that he HIT his ex-girlfiend is absurd... The charges were thrown out because the State Attorney learned that she lied, only to defruad the State of FLorida out of "relocation money," which was spent(ostensibly) on her drug habit. Concurrently, this is under review for prosecution for fraud.
If anyting wrong or unethical is occurring at his company, it is cured immediately by firing these type of employees who would promte such lies and propaganda, or anyone who would attempt harm to the General Public AT LARGE; Simultaneously, this same BREED and Caprice of person responsible for spreading these malicious character aspersions and petty sentiments against my friend and employer, without any factual basis, is A better reflection of the mentality of the post I am responding to.
It is obvious in the language used...Who are they calling"h*o's?" Sounds very uneducated...This is most definitely the caliber of person I want on on my Freinds list.

Facts Before Lies

Just for the record I do not work at Cool-aide and never have... But I do know that people need to get facts before spreading LIES, no one in Cool-aide is from Effiency Experts, they are all new TO Cool-aide. The people who work here are very friendly caring people who do care about one another and consider each other Friends/Family (as well as their customers)... I have worked in many places that the employee's get close with each other and say they are family within, it makes it more enjoyable to work together and it really does not not matter if they are really family or not. A lot of businesses are family orientated and are run by families. And as far as the owner's alleged past, I do believe he was also a teen and was acquitted of those charges. So as far as ALL of this goes...
Get Your Facts Before Spreading "LIES"

The defense from "KassHunley" is actually Kassidy Hunley , a longtime employee and accessory/accomplice of Cool-Aid/Efficiency Experts and Mike Watkins. Kassidy has no qualms about being part of Mike's criminal organization. Their office on SR44 is full of "phone h*o's" that make cold calls from copied phone books and past customers. They setup "free" service inspections to get the tech in the door..and then the tech must find or create a problem in order to "upsell" a customer or "victim". Up until recently, the installers and service techs were paid as "independant sub-contractors" in order to distance himself from any potential liabilities and avoid paying workmens comp insurance. The entire "office" is staffed by friends and family of Mike and is geared towards quick in and out scams and over-inflated pricing. Securing and depositing checks from customers is first and foremost with this outfit. Honest business practices doesn't fit into the equation. All of those in defense of this character are in fact friends,relatives,and complicit employees of this "company".

questions to ask yourself

Does anyone else find it odd that both of the posts defending this person were submitted the same day and both are in all caps? Does it make anyone else think they may have been posted by the same person? Who would call a "general manager" of a company with a very bad reputation in the area to check information on that same company and actually believe they were hearing the truth? Who was the general manager that day? LOL And if you're exonerated doesn't the Florida Department of Corrections site have to take your photo down at some point? I would think if I had been accused and convicted and incarcerated for such a crime and then later exonerated I would follow through to the best of my ability to have my name removed from the FLDOC public information that is available to anyone that searches my name.

Somehow my post got into a spot where it looks like I might have some argument with the originally posted complaint on the company here. I want to let people know first off that I meant to post this to the rebuttals posted in December 2009 defending this creep. I have some knowledge of this company through a family member and anyone who defends this dude is probably getting paid in one way or the other to do so. Either that or he has posted the rebuttals defending himself, which is what a lot of contractors who see complaints against them will do. You see it time and time again and the first clue is usually their trying to put everything off to a disgruntled employee. As far as the comments after this post, I'd like to ask if this guy has such a wonderful family life why was he arrested for smacking his wife around a couple of months before you posted this? Believe it was July 2009 and you can check it with the citrus county sheriff office website. I know there's always some kind of BS reason they give why it was Ok for them to act like that on that particular day and it's never happened before and will never happen again and so on. BS! If you believe that you're an idiot.Also if he's such a wonderful person why is another company (Cool-Aid) purporting to have bought him out and "visiting" all of his clients in the Floral City area badmouthing him and his business practices when an internet search will show that Michael P. Watkins owns both companies, uses the same phone numbers, email address and everything. Just how unscrupulous is that? Badmouth yourself because your business practices were so bad people complained, close your building and open up under another name and continue the same crappy ways over and over again. If the state of Florida were to look into it, I think they'd probably find he's done this all over the state, at least from Ocala to the west coast and as far south as Spring Hill and maybe even further. Frankly, I'm getting sick of finding information on the guy, there's that much of it.

I KNOW THE OWNER OF THIS COMPANY PERSONALLY...AND I ALSO KNOW THAT HE WAS WRONGLY CHARGED IN 1990 WHEN HE WAS 17 YEARS OLD....IN 2007 HE WAS EXONERATED BY A JUDGE IN PINELLAS COUNTY AND ALSO BY THE FDLE...THE OWNER IS A HARD-WORKING MAN, WITH A LOVELY FAMILY AND 3 CHILDREN...HE DOESNT POSE A THREAT TO ANYONE....MORE LIKELY IS THE PEOPLE THAT HE EMPLOYS THAT ARE THE ONE TO WATCH....THE OWNER IS A KIND HEARTED AND GENEROUS MAN...I THINK PEOPLE THAT SPEND THEIR DAYS DIGGING UP DIRT ON OTHER HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS AND NEED TO GET A JOB....AS IS THE SITUATION WITH THE 90 PERCENT OF THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS AREA.

SETTING THE RECORD STRIAGHT
AUTHOR: JA - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 03, 2009
THE OWNER OF EFFICIENCY EXPERTS HVAC, LLC, WAS EXONERATED IN 2007 BY BOTH
A PINELLAS COUNTY JUDGE AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
(FDLE), OF AN ALLEGED OFFENSE THAT WAS LATER DISCOVERED TO BE LARGELY
CONJECTURE (FACTUALLY UNTRUE).
A CAREFUL REVIEW OF FDLE RECORDS WILL CONFIRM THIS. IT IS ALSO NOTABLE
THAT THIS OFFENSE WAS ALLEGED IN 1990...THE OWNER OF EFFICIENCY EXPERTS
WAS 17 YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME.
THIS APPEARS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A STAB AT THE OWNER OF A VERY
REPUTABLE LOCAL COMPANY, BY A DISGRUNTLED FORMER EMPLOYEE.
