Alex came VERY promptly, knew right away what was wrong with the air conditioner and fixed it immediately and quickly for a fair price. He KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! read more

Just had Jeff B come out to diagnose and fix our AC unit. Had a previous quote that sounded suspicious so I opted for a second opinion with a BBB certified company. So happy I did because Jeff was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't try to upset anything. He took the time to explain what he was doing and and was super efficient. He ended up saving us money because the first person didn't know what he was doing or was a scam. You can't go wrong with Jeff and Airmaxx, don't bother looking for anyone else or any other company. Thanks again Jeff! Update: Jeff came out again to fix an issue that presented itself after his initial repair the next day. He responded right away and made himself available and made sure all loose ends were tied up, and that everything is working great. Ask for Jeff with Airmaxx! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again Jeff! read more

Sam came out the very next day to provide an estimate which was very fair and based on what would be best for our home. The work was scheduled quickly and the price was exactly the same as the estimate. The team arrived on time if not a little bit early....ready with protective floor mats which was especially helpful on a rainy morning. The team worked quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly to replace the ductwork, air conditioning unit and furnace. Airmaxx came recommended by a trusted neighbor and was well rated, and our experience exceeded expectations. Thank you Airmaxx for a seamless HVAC replacement! read more

I worked with Alex to install my new all electric HVAC system. It was a great experience. Although Alex might appear tough, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his business. This knowledge helped me to feel confident in his ability to get my job done in a professional and timely manner. I would definitely recommend Alex and his crew at Airmaxx for your heating and air conditioning needs. Thanks Alex for job well done and taking customer satisfaction to a whole new level!! read more

Very quick and efficient troubleshooting. Problem resolved promptly and cost effectively.

Jeffery called before hand to let me know of a cancellation, but unfortunately I had a meeting and he showed up at our scheduled appointment. I walked him through the house, showed both HVAC systems and explained what was wrong with the upstairs unit. He knew right off the bat what it was. He did a thorough inspection and sure enough he was right. He quoted me a fair price for parts, labor, and servicing of both units. I was beyond pleased with his upfront honesty and diligence to get the job done correctly and within his quoted amount. After all said and done, both are working great and he gained a new customer! 5 star read more

First of all it is rare for me to give reviews for most contractors, there is always something not quite right. I have worked a long time in remodeling construction and I just want to tell people this was the easiest, cleanest fastest and most amazing install I have ever been witness to. From the beginning visit, Alex was prompt, polite, very clear in his explanations, gave options, was not a hard sell, very informative for options about install and financing. I had many other quotes that had shorter warranties and were more money. Being a Carrier certified installer was also a bonus for me. Due to their schedule, I was able to book an install appointment next day from quote. Here is where I was blown away by their integrity and service. They showed up on time, got right to work at 8 and were completely done, cleaned up and out the door at 1pm. All other companies quoted a 3 day install for more money. Extremely professional, polite and did I say CLEAN? The demo'd the old equipment (40 year old gas furnace and AC, old rusted rigid ducting and insulation). Price out the door was demo and haul away, AC and gas furnace with higher end air filtration system that doesnt require maintenance or filters (pretty cool) tax etc etc. All for a few thousand less than the other companies and done in 5 hours instead of 3 days. I have already recommended them and given their contact info to our friend in neighborhood who is real estate agent and manager. KUDOS to Alex and his team. Thank you so very much, we are very very happy read more

No upsales attempted...just the facts for a furnace vs heat pump system. Being coastal, cooling was just need for 2-3 weeks out of the year, so went with just a single-stage Carrier furnace that had a rebate. Paying cash netted an almost 20% discount. All total...29% lower than the next lowest bid. Work start at 7:45 AM and was done before noon. read more

Calle Airmaxx for help since my AC went out during the heat wave. Alex came by and was able to figure out the problem and quickly fixed it. Since it was a quick and easy fix, he didn't charge me. I definitely recommend them and they are on top of my list to call to replace the entire AC unit. read more

My upstairs AC wasn't blowing cold air and we were burning up last night. I called several companies before reaching Airmaxx and they are the best! The first 2 companies wanted a $99 deposit before coming out, the next company said that they would have someone call me back (still waiting) and I got a vm on another. When I spoke to Airmaxx, they told me that they would be there by 2-4pm the same day. They actually showed up 30 minutes early to my delight and replaced the capacitor that was not working. Now we have cold air again. This is what customer service should be like every where. I highly recommend Airmaxx and will use them next time. read more

Our 2nd time using Airmaxx, and both times, we are very pleased. Jeff showed up earlier than quoted (within 2 hours of our call), charged our system in under an hour, and made plans for a near-term leak check and other vent upgrades. Knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to. Fair prices as well, so you really only need this one company for any HVAC issues. A+++ read more

They came out to diagnose our HVAC system and gave us a quote for exactly what was needed without any unnecessary parts or services. The other service providers were trying to sell us add-ons or pressure us into signing that same day. Airmaxx's service was top-notch, to the point, and no pressure to sign immediately. read more

Great service. On time. Thorough service. Value for money. Great advice. Service included AC and Heat. Highly recommend.

I installed new thermostats and tripped a fuse that I could not locate easily so I posted a request for help on Yelp. I got several responses however, Alex at Airmaxx left me a message to call him and he would help walk me through the process of locating and changing the fuse. Alex helped me on the phone for close to 60 minutes and he solved my problem! He would not take payment so I decided to write this review which I'm very pleased to provide him! Thank you Alex, for your time and expertise, your generosity is very much appreciated in a day and age we don't experience this kind of help very often! 100% RECOMMEND!!! read more

I had high hopes using this company to repair my AC unit. The yelp reviews looked great so I decided to call them. They immediately scheduled a technician to diagnose the problem the very next day since it was extremely hot during that time about 3 weeks ago. He was very professional and courteous and said I would need a whole new AC unit and that I would get a quote for replacement in 1 or 2 days. Needless to say I still haven't got a quote from them even after I reached out to them twice now. I've never had to reach out to a company to ask for business and it's just for a quote that should take only a few minutes. read more

I crossed my fingers and said a prayer a few weeks ago that my old broken-down tired Lennox would eek out another year of service but alas she just couldn't give us anymore. She was exhausted. She ran with a massive hole through her side for about the last 10 years thanks to my Boston Terrier thinking she was a toilet. I'm pretty sure the Lennox was vintage late 80's early 90's. She was an antique! A weeklong hot spell was upon us. This was on a Saturday. I called AirMaxx and Cory Edwards came by within a few hours and tried to revive the poor girl, but she just wasn't having it. She was rusted out and leaking god only knows what. She was done. There was no question in my mind I was running on Borrowed time. Cory wrote up an order for an entirely new system. He set me up with a Carrier Heat Pump and new furnace, so I have the option to heat with Electric or gas. It's all pretty cool. He scheduled my install for the very next Thursday. Just 5 days. I was so nervous something would go wrong, and it would be delayed but Thursday morning the AirMaxx team was here at 7:45 (early!!!) ready to go. They pulled that junk out of the attic, put all the new stuff in and had the old Lennox in the street (I gave it a little funeral it served me so well) in just a few hours. They were done just a little after noon. I'm very happy with the new system and the amount of energy it is saving me is shocking. I have solar but I never run negative when the A/C is running. I was negative on the power bill last month. Thanks for the great job AirMaxx. I would highly recommend you to anyone. read more

From the initial sales call to the final test and clean up these guys were amazing. I highly reccommend this company and this team. I have a two zone system, and went with the Carrier Infinity 24 system. It's a killer system! I am really pleased with the entire process! See some pics below. I had been looking for a new HVAC system for over a year, and had a couple established AC companies out to look at my system and do a quote, but neither really clicked. After doing some more looking around, reading YELP reviews, and getting a lot more educated on heat pumps, I called AirMaxx in El Cajon. I got an appt. the next day, and Sam came out. It was so clear that Sam knows HVAC inside and out. He took his time with me, answered questions, made recommendations, and then I picked out a couple products that I wanted him to quote on. He went back to his van, and in 30 minutes put together a detailed quote and presented it to us. By the time he sat down, he had all the pricing worked out, including manufacturer and government rebates. He never tried to "up sell", but was careful to recommend a system that would meet our requirements. When we asked about time to install, he'd already called around and located all the components. We signed a contract, left a deposit, and ten minutes later he calls with an install date just two weeks out. The, the next morning he called and said he'd be able to move up the date a week if we were ready for it. So our install was only about a week after we placed the order. On the day of install two trucks and six guys show up 10 minutes early, and they get out of their trucks and stuff just starts happening. I give the crew leader a tour (Vitroli??) and he discusses a few details of the install. By the time we are done with the tour, they have already laid protective cloths on the entire work path, and all the new equipment is out of trucks and being unpacked. Three guys work in the attic, and three guys work on the outside. By 10am all the old equipment is disconnected and out, and by 11:30am all the new equipment is in place. It takes about an hour to get all the fluid and electrical lines hoooked up, but by 12:30 its all hooked up. They install the thermostats and give the system a good testing, both for heat and for cool. They triple check everything, and meticulously pack up and clean. At 1:30 they are gone and I am writing this review. The entire crew was polite and easy to have in the house and yard. Very respectful. Again, I recommend this team and company. read more

Had an issue with my furnace. Alex at Airmaxx gave me a quote that was fair and a lot lower than another place. He fixed it and all was well...until it wasn't. The issue came back a few days later and a different guy at Airmaxx came and found a new issue. Now, there was a problem between Airmaxx and myself at first. This was the same issue but now it required a different part than before. I asked for a discount, reduced rate, anything as a show of good faith since it was the same issue. I shouldn't have to pay full price for labor twice. The guy said no. BUT, Alex reached out to me afterward and wanted to make it right. He agreed I shouldn't have had to pay full price, twice. He offered to replace it for free. I told him I had no problem paying but perhaps at just a reduced rate. He said no. He'll do it for free. Moral of the story is Alex and Airmaxx really care about customer service. They'll make sure the issue is fixed and that the customer is satisfied. It took some extra communication on my part but it got done. read more

Alex came out this morning and had my mom's AC fixed in 15 minutes. It was a fairly inexpensive and a simple fix and we are grateful for Alex's friendliness and honesty. Just yesterday I had another company come out for the same issue and they told me the AC was shot and needed to be replaced for over $16k. I'm so glad I decided to have Airmaxx come out and take a look as well. read more

Short notice repair needed. Spoke to owner 6pm Friday evening and they had a technician at the property by 8:00am Saturday. Broke down the situation clearly making it clear that the troubleshooting / repair would go sequentially in an ever increasing cost, with quotes, with the probability being the least expensive repair would address the leaking water from the AC system. They got it, repair took less than an hour and AC up and running. Price was very reasonable especially given the response time, it being a weekend repair and technician also concerned of forecasted San Diego weather 24 hours later. Recommend. read more

Our entire HVAC system went down after SDG&E had some trouble updating the powerlines. Unfortunately, it was during the middle of the summer in the midst of a heat wave as it goes. Immediately upon reporting that the AC was down to our landlord, she gave them a call and Cory Edwards came out the next day. He worked his magic in a very tight stuffy attic, all the while exchanging stories from this here inquisitive tenant haha. Really appreciate this company and their employees. Cory did an excellent job was very prompt and fixed the issue on site. I will surely be using them in the future, and I would encourage others to do the same as well. Thank you Cory and the Airmaxx team! read more

They responded very quickly on a Saturday evening and were out the next morning to fix my a/c. Sam was super knowledgeable and thorough. Great work! read more

AirMaxx installed my Ecobee thermostat back in July 2023. The install rate was fair and they did an excellent install and helped with the set up. The thermostat stopped working December 2023 and Alex was super fast to have Alejandro the service tech at my home that morning. He found the thermostat had failed. Alejandro came back that afternoon and helped with the replacement and to make sure everything was working. I highly recommend AirMaxx and will call them first with any HVAC needs. Thank you Alex and team! read more

Airmaxx - Ecobee Thermostat - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - El Cajon, California

Alex is amazing!!!! My heater was not working. We spoke over the phone and with his help, he determined it was just a wiring issue that could be fixed easily. He walked me through the steps and in less than 10 minutes my heater was fixed. Most A/C repair companies would have charged hundred of dollars to make a visit and fix this. I know, I've been there before but Alex was friendly enough to help find out the problem and actually spend time on the phone on a Sunday with me and help me fix the small wiring issue. I can't say thank you enough to Alex for helping me out in this situation. If I ever need my A/C repaired in the future, I will definitely contact him again. read more

I have to get better at finishing reviews in a timely manner. Having said that, the service and experience I received from Airmaxx was stellar! So towards the end of last summer, my thermostat (an older Ecobee that came with the condo when I purchased it in 2017) decided to stop working. This was during the time when it seemed like it was ridiculously hotter than usual. My wife, little Junie (our dog) and I tried to roll with the heat for as long as we could, but finally broke down and decided we had to do something about the situation. That's where Airmaxx comes swooping in to the rescue. I believe I corresponded with them initially through Yelp, and was very pleased to hear back and find out that they were able to see me on the Saturday which was only several days out! I told them that I had my own equipment I purchased off Amazon, and they said no problem. The weather was crazy hot so I knew that they were extremely busy. Come Saturday, the tech came out on time. Unfortunately I forgot the gentleman's name, but he was great in all aspects. Friendly but doesn't talk your ear off, very very skilled at his craft of HVAC and electronics. He ran some tests using a multimeter to confirm that the Ecobee was the issue, and then proceeded to uninstall it, mount a new supplied mounting plate, and install/configure our new Google Nest thermostat. I want to say he was in and out in no more than 30 minutes. It's been six months since Airmaxx came through and both heat and a/c are working flawlessly. After I had a bad experience with the last HVAC company I used, this was definitely a breath of fresh air and a company I would wholeheartedly recommend! Thank you Airmaxx and to the gentleman who provided great service to us. read more

Airmaxx - Excellent service from Airmaxx! Junie approved! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - El Cajon, California

I was calling around to different companies to try to find someone who could come out the next day (Sunday). I called Airmaxx, and they didn't answer, and because it was 3pm, I didn't leave a message because I was in a hurry to call other places before everyone closed for the day. 11 minutes later, they called me back because they had missed my call. That was a very good business move, because it made me choose to go with these guys. The next morning, technician Sam came out. He was on time, very knowledgeable, very friendly, worked efficiently and was done with the job within the appointment window. I hope I never again need emergency/urgent service, but I will definitely use Airmaxx again and have already recommend them to others. read more

Very Fast, Professional and honest. They were able to come out within in a few hours, diagnose the problem and do what was needed to get the unit running within an hour. The service professional made suggestions of future maintenance and items, but there was no upsell or marketing. read more

When I was shopping around for a new mini split. Amongst all the companies I ended up choosing AirMaxx because of the value and knowledge they showed me during one of the visits I had. Gilbert was very knowledgeable, laid out the plans, and made recommendations based on what I needed. Unlike the other companies that just took pictures and left after 3 mins (happened twice), Gilbert took his time and explained all the questions I had. After that I reviewed the various offers. I was impressed by his visit and choose Airmaxx because of the professionalism Gilbert showed me and the great value of the proposal that was presented to me compared to the other companies. The installation went great, and now I have an incredible upgrade to my AC. Thanks Gilbert and Airmaxx! read more

AC failed on the hottest week of the year... Had 1 company come out and they were super professional, knowledgeable, friendly and great customer service. They did a whole diag, checking voltage, fuses, check the board, camera peeping through the furnace, etc.; couldn't resolve. Provided a quote for a traditional 2 stage and to replace attic ducts and insulation. Wanted a second opinion. Called Airmaxx, and fortunately for me, Alex was 10 minutes away from my location. Upon arrive, from a distance, looked at the furnace, and knew exactly what the issue was, and in 5 minutes, cold air. Asked if I wanted to talk to his rep about a new system. Wasn't pushy or anything. I said yes even though I didn't have to since it was fixed but the system is the original when the house was built. It didn't hurt to get a quote. Met with Bradley, straight up, nice and chill person. They provided a quote for a 2 stage hybrid system (heat pump + furnace), and to replace my ducts to R6 in the attic (not the insulation), and rewired and moved my thermostat to a new location. Overall fantastic service. Nit picking, suggestion for an even better customer experience 1) Provide a little more communication around time when the crew was expected to come. 2) A little more time toward clean up of debris at the end and be a bit more careful on removing ducts and equipment (marked up the paint on wall) but am very thankful to the entire team, speed, and overall process. Couldn't be any happier with the new system, quality and value Airmaxx and team provided. read more

Ozzy troubleshot and repaired my FAU with a new transformer (This is after I had messed everything up with trying to add a new thermostat and not following the directions.) He was very prompt, honest and professional. He even added a fuse to my unit because it is an older model that did not come with a fuse. I highly recommend this company. read more

Another great experience with AirMaxx. On the hottest day of the year to date, our AC unit was not pumping out cold air. Gilbert with AirMaxx arrived the next day. He quickly assessed the situation which was actually quite a simple fix. We were Gilbert's 11th call of the day, and we just want to shout out how kind, informative, and professional he was - especially for going on a 12+ hour day. Thank you, Gilbert and AirMaxx! read more

Very responsive and had reasonable pricing. They were super communicative and had everything repaired the same day.

They solved my heating problem in the same day. Highly communicative and efficient. Would definitely recommend to anyone; they provide high value work read more

Great service. They respond fast and the technician was really nice. Highly recommend!!

We'll, I can't imagine a more positive experience to a scary situation! It's Saturday, and the A/C has not been cooling well for a couple of days while we've been out of town. Our Ecobee thermostat sent me an alert saying the temp is going up even though the setpoint is lower. I call Airmaxx at 11:45AM and our tech Ryan was in the area and able to come right away. By 12:05 he sends me a picture of the A/C electrical panel that was actively burning (picture below)! Even though the system is older, he knew he could replace the panel, capacitor and refill the Freon for $850, so he went right to work! Now I KNOW all the fantastic YELP reviews are legit! These guys really are honest and do an amazing job! Ryan is the BEST! When the system finally needs to be replaced - I know who to call! read more
