Aairco Air Conditioning & Heating - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - El Cajon, California

Bravo on a job well done. These guys really hustled to get my three AC casettes installed in record time. Units are a dream - whisper quiet and arctic cool. I'm in love! Thank you to Kris for being an incredible principal and bravo to the field techs Jesse and Jared for top-notch work. Very friendly, punctual, and professional crew. read more

See all

I have loved this company for years! They really helped us out last winter when our furnace just stopped working and it was COLD! That being said, I wanted to schedule them again this year. Unfortunately, they're completely unresponsive. No answer to my calls, in spite of voicemail promising response in 24 hours. I'm moving on. read more

We got our AC installed during the heatwave of Sept 2022. Competitor pricing as easily $10k more than what Aairco quoted us. We were very happy with the install and the unit we purchased. We got a furnace replaced with them too. We've had no problems!! read more

Kris and Jesse did a fantastic job getting my new system installed. Kris recommended the right system and they were able to install earlier Jan expected at fair price. Great job cleaning up also. read more

My wife and I purchased a home last fall and we called the warranty people to get our HVAC checked out. The initial contractor they sent was a scam artist and tried to hustle us to the tune of $8000! So on a referral from a friend who owns Green Guy 's Pest Control we found Aairco. They come out within 24 hours, found that it was a simple clog and fixed it and a few other things for only $179. I know it says on the yelp page Santee and El Cajon but, these guys were great and they traveled up to my house in Scripp's Ranch. I can't thank them enough! Doc- read more

Terrible owner. Takes days to get back to you and when he does, he doesnt listen to what the problem I have been having with my AC for years. Put in a faulty system and unable to do anything to fix it, expect for charge more to do other things but help detect a leak. I have reached out year after year to get this fixed and have had to just get refrigerant put in every year and my unit is 6-7 years old. I am having to now replace an AC in less than 10 years. read more

Horrible experience the day they came to look at why the AC isn't working. He didn't want to check for a leak and said we needed a new compressor. I asked him to check the leak and he gave the runaround that it's not going to work. We double checked with a family friend about what happened. He came to change a few gaskets, checked to see if there was acid in the line and there wasn't. After the gaskets changed, there were no leaks and we filled it with the coolant, now good to go! If you try this company, do your research. read more

I've used these guys twice in the last three years, and both times I was super impressed with the service. They're a lot farther away from where we live, but I had a friend that highly recommended them. After the service we got, I know why. We had a problem with the heating in our home, and they quickly fixed the problem and we're happy with the price. For some reason, after they finished, I decided to call another place just to see if they would've beaten that price. The quote they gave us was a lot more, and before I could say anymore, that company said they wouldn't be able to do it for a few more weeks at the earliest. Glad we called Aairco first! We didn't bother calling anyone else when we wanted air conditioning in our home. My wife thought it wasn't necessary to get AC, as we'd only use it a few times a year. But those few days are like living in hell, it just gets so damn hot! We went with them a few weeks ago and the same exact experience. Very professional, whether that was the person we spoke to on the phone or the person doing the actual work. The price was a bit less than we had expected to pay, which is not something you expect when work of this magnitude is being done to a two-story home. If I could give you guys six stars, I would. Thanks for such great service. read more

I contacted this company because we needed a new furnace, but then decided to also install central air in our home. I was really impressed with this company. Kris Zimmer (the owner) gave me all the information I needed to decide exactly what type of AC option to go with. He actually came out to survey the house as well. His employees were very professional and wore masks the entire time they were in our home. Phil, Jared, and Isaac did a great job installing everything and showing us how to work the new thermostat. They were all very fast, efficient, and neat. They finished within 2 days. I was so impressed with their work that I showed my neighbor who owns a local construction company and he wanted their contact information so that he can call on them for some of his clients. It was a pleasure doing business with them and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future. read more

Aairco were very professional and honest. My furnace (after 25 years) went out. Kris came out and gave an honest estimate that the main board had failed. The initial quote for the board was around 900. Kris gave me a quote for a new furnace at a VERY reasonable price. He was out the next day to install. Kris and his company are extremely reliable, honest, and trustworthily. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs assistance. read more

Two years ago we hired Kris Zimmer and his team to replace our two central air conditioners. They did a great and professional job and the estimate was the final price. Twice since then, including yesterday, we had a/c problems that were unrelated to their work. Aairco sent someone to the house the same day and resolved the problem for a minimal fee. The response and service was outstanding and a rare thing these days. I highly recommend this company. read more

We had the pleasure of using the expertise of Aairco for a repair on our home AC unit. We were prepared to be told that we needed a new unit but were very surprised to find out it was only a loose wire. The technician replaced the wire and only charged us a service call. They also installed a new unit in a rental I own. The install took the promised 2 days and the workers communicated with us on the progress continually. They were efficient and seem to enjoy their work. Their bid was in the lower range of the 5 bids I received, but my decision was primarily based on the honesty they displayed at our residence. I will always be happy to recommend Aairco and to use them exclusively on any HAVAC work that needs to be done. THANKS AAIRCO Sincerely, Nance Hayman read more

We are very pleased with the service of Aairco. They came right after I called and installed a new furnace shortly thereafter. They cleaned and checked my other furnace. Very professional and accommodating. read more

Phil just came out and serviced my AC and heating units. He was very thorough with the cleaning of the units. He was patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I would recommend Aairco to anyone looking for reliable service. read more

We had a problem with our air-conditioning unit. We called Aairco, and Jeff came out within hours, fixed our unit quickly and at a very fair price. Thank you, Jeff and Aairco!!! We will be using you in the future and recommending you to all our friends and family!!! read more

After shopping around for the best price I decided to go with Aairco even though they were not the least expensive. I was very pleased by the whole experience and they did a great job with installing my new A/C and Heater. Highly recommend them read more

This is the second time Aairco has been to my home in a couple of years. The first time my ac wasn't working. They serviced it, added coolant and got my very old ac unit working well again. This time they came for a service check on both my furnace and A/C. Jeff took pictures of what he found in the attic (leaks) and fixed it up so both the heat and a/c will work more efficiently. I am very impressed with their work, fair pricing, and promptness. Aairco does not come in and pressure you into buying new, expensive stuff. Good work, good people, good company! read more

A really great service from the tech. I received a military discount. All our systems checked out perfectly. But will be calling them back for all the service checks. Give them a chance to earn your trust. Jeff was the tech he was great and informative about our systems. read more

We live in Lakeside.We had an Ac ,Furnace & air Purifier installed. We are 100% very pleased with Jeff, Khrystyn & Daniel.They were all very professional from the start to the end.no matter how many questions we had.They went beyond the call of duty. I would defently go with Aairco if you need an Ac or Furnace. My friend referred me to Airco . We are so grateful.We had many different company's out for estimates they were not very honest and the prices were redicious. Aairco is very fair.Thanks again March 28, 2019 read more

This is the business to call!!!! And ask for Lincoln. My worst case scenario happened. Moved into my new place during the hottest weekend of the year. I mean it was 100 and lava outside for 5 days straight. Anyway, I go to turn on the A/C that night. I can hear the fan blowing but 2 hours later it is still 91 degrees inside. My dogs are having fits and getting overheating. I am melting away like an Indiana Jones bad guy. NIGHTMARE!!! The next morning the owners call around and around and around. Every company is booked till Wednesday. HELLO!! It is going to be 100 and lava again and this is Sunday. I know it's the weekend but jeez this is an EMERGENCY!! UGH!! I feel a temper tantrum coming on!! They finally contact Aairco. Their response is that they can get a technician to the house in 40 minutes. WHAT!!! I almost jumped for joy when I found out. Their technician Lincoln was an awesome guy. The owner took him through and by the time I got home, the A/C was pumping out gloriously cool air. I don't even think it took the full 40 minutes for him to get there. Lincoln was fast and personable. The freon was low. There was nothing else that needed fixing but he checked anyway. Lincoln admitted that they were swamped but he managed to squeeze us in. Now that is how you run a business. I will definitely be using this company again! read more

Since our A/C system stopped cooling, AAIRCO came out and suggested filling our A/C with refrigerant for $700+ as the least expensive short term option. I had them do that only for it to stop cooling again in one month. I had another company do a leak check for $260 and they identified the leak in the coil in our attic. I finally had the coil replaced for around $2000. Thanks to AAIRCO I am out of pocket $700 unnecessarily and I really would like my money back. Their recommendation from the outset should have been to do a leak check. read more

Our landlord had one choice when it came to installing a new forced air heated in the house we rent and that choice was Aairco. Lincoln came in the morning and by just afternoon he had installed the new heater, disposed of the old one into his truck and replaced the exhaust vent from the heater. Lincoln was friendly, personable and with the utmost professionalism performed all the tasks necessary to keep our house warm for the rest of the winter and many more to come. Thank you very much for your service and we will be looking to Aairco in the future for our HVAC needs. read more

What a RIPOFF! I just purchased a home. My heater wouldn't turn on. I told him the thermostat was replaced. He said the transformer was bad and he had one the truck. About 20 minutes later, Lincoln said it's all done, here's the bill. $500.00. An electrician friend had told me there $40 max. He wouldn't give me my old transformer. What a ripoff. read more

Worst company ever experienced.The practices they did wasn't good and insufficient systems. Didn't have the correct parts but they hacked it to somehow make it work. HACKS!!!! For sure will need to be services sooner then later. Owner n was good and did his best but supervisors and leads half assed the job. Didn't care how just make it work. New company definitely will go thru some growing pains read more

A little bummed I called this business because our A/C stopped working during the recent heat wave here in San Diego. A very personable and nice gentleman answered the phone and I needed a part. He said he did not have it at his exact location however if I came to it him he would send me to a supply warehouse to pick it up. He said $50 for the part. Sounded good until I happened across another A/C place in El Cajon and they said the part is $20. I feel that he was definitely taking advantage by offering to send me to another supplier and keep a 250% markup on the part. I can see doing 20, even 25% but $30 and I had to drive to go get it from his supplier? With the heat being over 100 degrees and people losing their homes to fire in our community over the last few days I feel this is unethical. But I have the choice not to buy and I did not so I guess it all worked out. read more

What service!! Felt very comfortable having workers put in an air conditioning unit in my house. Friendly and outgoing. They explained what they were doing every step of the way!! I would highly recommend this company!! read more

I called the company to service my air conditioning and Kristen was able to get a tech out quickly. Jeff serviced my air conditioner/heater, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly I will use this company from now on. No sales pitch to upgrade my old unit. It is refreshing when a company doesnt pressure you for unnecessary purchases. Thanks Jeff and thank you Aairco! read more

Very courteous and professional. Lincoln did an outstanding job cleaning both my heating and AC coils for a very reasonable price. We would definitely recommend these guys over any company that First American Homebuyers recommends. read more

These guys provide good and reasonable service and aren't too expensive for what they do. They are also easy to work with and friendly.

Daniel with Aairco just repaired the heating unit so we now have heat!! It's the end of December and cold so a prompt response was so appreciated. I called Aairco first thing in the morning and Daniel was here around eight. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Aairco and Daniel any time! read more

Zero stars if possible. As a CEO of a healthcare organization, we depend on our plant companies to provide quick and effective service. Airco provided neither and was less than apologetic, rather aloof and full of excuses. Their lack of expertise in fixing a residential AC and lack of quality parts vendors, left our company and patients in a poor predicament for two weeks. The problem was solved in less than an hour by their competitors. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

Just had a problem with our electronic air filter (that another company had really messed up some years ago). We called Aairco and they came out right away, diagnosed the problem and ordered a new electronic air filter and installed it. Their serviceman Lincoln has been terrific, does a great job, and leaves everything clean. Aairco has also done a great job of installation and maintenance on our furnace. Wouldn't use any other company! read more

Waited all day for an appointment with this company because my air conditioner is not working and it's 90° outside. 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment they called and canceled and said they will have to reschedule because they're busy in La Jolla. Poor scheduling and last minute cancellations are inexcusable. They need to remember that their customers have jobs too and can't take off time just to have to reschedule for another day and miss more work. Terrible customer service! read more

Aairco just completed a rather difficult furnace installation for us. They completed the installation in a professional manner with friendly and helpful technicians. We could not be more happy and satisfied. I recommend Aairco as an outstanding vendor. read more

Just had a mini split installed , the process was very fast and the guys did a great job keeping everything clean in the area they were working in. Right after the unit was installed it was making a clicking sound , Lincoln came right back and fixed it the same day. Now we have a super quiet and efficient heating/cooling system in our space! read more

On time. Very friendly and knowledgeable tech. Had our furnace working in under an hour. First had AirMaxx come out. They wanted to replace the circuit board and charge $486. Aairco determined that it was the gas valve. It works great now and cost $200 for time and parts. Very reasonable! read more

$400-$500 to gas a mini split a/c unit. rip off. got it done and gauranteed for $100.

Our AC went out -- we live in Jamul -- and the late August temps were in the mid-90. The "big AC repair companies" said it would take from a week to two weeks to get a repairman out. In some cases if I wanted to pay "emergency (evening/night rates) of over $200 per hour they would come out within a day. Aairco was able to schedule an appointment within two days. The repairman -- Lincoln - was superb. He quickly determined the problem and the unit was repaired within 15 minutes! I am extremely pleased with the service and would recommend Aairco. read more

We have used Aairco on 2 recent occasions to repair units at our investment properties. Chris was very, very responsive and handled one of the repairs within 24 hours of our call! And it was July! The price for the work was fair, the work was excellent, and service was outstanding. 5 stars! read more
