Avram Heating & Air Conditioning operates out of Wickliffe, OH and is listed on Google Maps under that address and phone number. The business appears to be managed by Dan (Daniel) Avram, who has been identified as the owner in multiple sources. The Google Maps listing is active and not marked as closed. There is only one review available, posted in 2016, which praises Dan Avram for fast, reasonably priced service and recommends the business. No scam reports, negative news, or unresolved complaints were found in public searches, BBB, or news outlets. The business lacks a dedicated website or social profiles, and there is limited recent customer feedback, which makes it harder to judge current performance or reputation. There are also no trademark conflicts or evidence of legal disputes. Overall, Avram Heating & Air Conditioning appears to be a real, long-standing local business, but its small digital footprint and scarcity of reviews mean you should proceed with normal caution for small contractors.
