I had very good experiences with So Cal Air and definitely recommend them…read more Both the business and the construction parts of the job went smoothly. Communication was good. They helped me understand options and worked with me on what I wanted. They did what they said they would do. They were flexible and took the time to finesse the work where it was needed. Good quality work. Permits went fine, and everything passed the first time. My 1930 property has a 2-story duplex and a house. I live in one unit and have renters in the other units. I talked to several companies about the work. So Cal Air was more responsive than other companies. Menooa was very knowledgeable and helpful during the first meeting, offering me options. Their proposal was competitive with other proposals. They helped me understand options and were flexible, and worked with me through the installation of what I wanted. They installed 3 separate systems for me, one system for each unit. Each system had 3 zones. I've had many repairs to my property over the years, and the details matter to me. I wanted to hide the lines as much as practical, preserve the architectural look. My contractor handled the electrical installation and opened and repaired the drywall after the lines were installed. SoCal Air worked well with my contractor. Renovation of older construction is often complicated and takes extra effort. We had to come up with some creative solutions, and SoCal Air did a great job! My units were installed above doors and windows. My contractor modified the living room cove ceilings so the indoor units would fit close to the ceiling. So Cal Air did everything else. Everything fits great and looks great! I appreciated that Manooa gave good recommendations to steer me away from difficulties, but he also listened to me and headed my wishes when it mattered to me. So Cal Air handled the permits for the heat pumps. The installation passed the LA Building and Safety inspections with no issues. The work was finished late summer, early fall of 2025, after the heat, but in time for winter. Heating worked great in winter. We had a chance to use the cooling during a recent heat wave, and it worked great! I bought the heat pumps primarily for cooling, since the apartments had only heating and had never had cooling before. The units work great! The temperature stays very comfortable. Everything is very quiet. I barely know they are on, except when I open the door and am shocked by how hot it is outside. My tenants gave me positive feedback and have been very happy with the heat pumps. My property still looks like 1930, but it doesn't feel like 1930 anymore! I am very happy with their work and the results. I've recommended So Cal Air to several friends.

I recently had So Cal Air replace my entire HVAC system, including both the outdoor unit and the…read moreindoor air handler. I could not be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation through installation, Menooa and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They also enlarged one of my return air vents to meet the higher airflow needs of the new HVAC system. The work required widening the opening in the ceiling and installing a new return grille. The crew handled it neatly and professionally. When they finished, it looked like new. The new system is working great, airflow is noticeably improved, and the entire project was completed fast and as promised. It's not often that a major home improvement project goes this smoothly. I would recommend So Cal Air to anyone looking for HVAC installation or replacement.

After being seriously unimpressed by another company, we had Lions…read morecome out to give us an estimate on a new HVAC system after our 20 year old system finally expired. Shay was extremely thorough in his inspection and called out the best possible system improvements we could do for our old home, including brand new attic insulation and duct work. He was extremely patient and helpful while we worked on the financing of such a big but important home improvement process and was there to answer questions/concerns every step of the way. When we finally were able to hit the green light on the project, no time was wasted. Shay scheduled all the work (including a crane!) for the following week and the incredible team completed it all in 3 days time. Huge shout out to the entire team including Adonis that absolutely killed it with cleaning up the attic and installing new insulation, and Kamo and team with the intricate HVAC electrical work and overall installation. The entire crew killed it and can't beat a 12 year warranty on such a big purchase.

Today, during his day off, he made an exception to come early in the morning to do a complete HVAC cleaning, and finished an hour earlier than anticipated. Jorge - you're the best my friend.

This is a second update to my initial review regarding the Gross Negligence and Code Violations by…read moreSouthwest Heating and Air Conditioning (CA License #1007813), now complete with extensive photo documentation. This update is to further document and clarify the significantly poor HVAC installation performed by Southwest Heating and Air Conditioning during the summer of 2021 at my residence. A comprehensive inspection by a licensed and reputable HVAC firm has confirmed the following serious safety violations and breaches of California Mechanical, Electrical, and Building Codes resulting from Southwest's substandard and negligent work: Documented Violations: 1. Bypassed Safety Controls, creating a substantial risk of fire, explosion, and system failure. 2. Improper Electrical Wiring within the burner box, posing a direct fire hazard. 3. Improper Condensate Drainage, which resulted in significant water intrusion and structural water damage to the property. 4. Undersized Return Ducting, creating airflow restriction, energy inefficiency, and potential for equipment overheating. 5. Improper Duct Layout and Disconnected Supply Vents, severely impacting system performance and overall safety. Applicable Code Violations: The above findings constitute violations of the following codes and standards: * California Mechanical Code (CMC): §§301.0, 303.1, 310.1, 310.4, 601.2, 603.1 * California Electrical Code (CEC): §§110.3(B), 110.12(A), 300.4 * California Building Code (CBC): §1202.2 * Health & Safety Code (HSC): §17920.3 * Title 24 (Energy Code) - various provisions governing duct sizing, energy efficiency, and safety compliance. Financial Impact: * Water damage remediation paid by AAA Home Insurance: approximately $30,000 * Out-of-pocket costs to remove and replace the hazardous HVAC installation: approximately $17,000 Regulatory Action and Bond Claim: * A formal investigation is currently underway by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), which has been provided with extensive documentation, including inspection reports, photographic evidence, and video footage. * Upon contacting Southwest's bond provider, no rebuttal or denial of the identified violations was issued, further confirming the legitimacy of the claims. Given the egregious nature of these violations and the demonstrated pattern of disregard for safety, code compliance, and consumer protection, I strongly caution any individual or organization against contracting with Southwest Heating and Air Conditioning. The risk posed to property, life, and legal liability is substantial and well-documented.

My experience with Fuse Service has been nothing short of excellent! I chose Fuse Service because…read moreof the Company's positive reviews across several platforms, particularly on Yelp. I had an older furnace that stopped working, and I knew it was a relatively simple fix. However, I anticipated potential issues with upgrading safety features using replaceable parts due to the furnace's age. I spoke with Michael, the owner of Fuse Service, by phone and explained my situation. He arranged for a technician to come out right away, and throughout my interactions with the Company, the communication has been outstanding--worthy of five stars in today's world! The technician arrived on time and, according to my tenant, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Once the technician determined the problem, Michael called me with an update and sent two very detailed and clearly worded estimates. I never felt pressured to replace the furnace, even though I knew it was only a matter of time before I would need to. Having done my research, I had an idea of how much a new furnace would cost, including installation. I was very relieved to find that Fuse Services offered a very fair price for a new unit, which ultimately made the most sense for me. My next concern was ensuring my tenants wouldn't be without heat for a few days, so I wanted the process to move forward quickly. Michael was able to start the installation that same day, and they completed the entire job by the end of the day. What impressed me even more was that the technician who installed the unit was not only very knowledgeable, but he also left no mess behind. I see why Fuse Services has such a high rating. I highly recommend this Company!!

They were super thorough in their in-person visit and caught a few things that other companies did not notice. For that, I was sure these guys knew what they were doing. They installed a mini split 18k btu in my home and were done in a day. No harm no foul. They offer peace of mind with their warranties and as of now everything works great.

They did a great job during the install and even reran some ductwork that was not done properly. Jose communicates well, does not try to upsell you but most importantly he does quality work. I highly recommend him for all of your HVAC needs.

I assumed it was the AC unit sitting right above it, so I contacted Pioneers in a mild panic. They quickly put me in touch with Tomer, who showed up that same afternoon to take a look. From the moment he arrived, Tomer was calm, kind, and completely professional, which is exactly what you want when you're stressed about water dripping through your ceiling. He diagnosed the problem efficiently: our AC drip pan had overflowed due to a clogged drain pipe. He walked us through everything as he went, answering every question we threw at him without making us feel like we were slowing him down. He needed a couple of additional parts he didn't have on hand, so he promised to return Monday morning to finish the job. And he did, right on time. When yet another part turned out to be needed mid-repair, he didn't reschedule or leave us hanging. He went out, got it himself, and came straight back to finish what he started. No drama, no delays. While he was up in the attic, he also flagged some rat droppings and other pest concerns. But not in a pushy, upsell-y way, but just as a heads-up. "Here's what I'm seeing, I can get you a quote if you want." Refreshingly straightforward. Tomer turned a stressful Sunday emergency into a resolved problem by Monday afternoon. Thanks Pioneers H&A!

First of all, I have never, ever written a negative review. Please look at my profile for proof…read more I had a really regrettable experience with Air Elite Heating and Cooling--would strong suggest not using this business for any kind of product install. I paid $11,000 for a job that really is substandard. 1. Danny came to do my quote and was very nice, but when actual installation came he was not onsite. A very young and inexperienced guy installed the units basically in the middle of the wall. I was not consulted asked before the guy tore huge fist size holes in my wall that are in no way standard placement for mini splits. The guy moved the unit, I had to pay for the walls to be repaired and repainted! 2. The condenser was placed on the ground in the driveway. Again--I was never consulted about where it was to be installed. It should have been installed on the side of the house--it limits the function of my driveway forever. I cannot get my recycling/trash out if I am parked in my own driveway. 3. The drains that were placed on the outer wall of my house were installed so poorly that they constantly fall off. They were not adhered at all. When I put them back up, they are fitted so shoddily that they cannot be secured. Every time I pick them up and try to reassemble them--I can see how jankily they were put together. One of them is now cracked and water is spewing all over my wall. For nearly $11K spent, I feel really taken advantage of and bad about the integrity of their work. I contacted them in advance of this review with all of these points--they never responded.
