I had a great experience with Ali. He answered his phone personally, showed up exactly when he said he would, quickly diagnosed the issue with my AC unit, and had me repaired in under 45 minutes. What I appreciate most was his professionalism, fair pricing and honesty. If you're looking for someone dependable for HVAC repairs, I highly recommend Ali. - Martin Warren read more

Ali came on time and was very friendly and informative of what our problem was with our AC. He fixed it quickly and at a fair price.

Ali was excellent! He arrived right on time, quickly diagnosed the problem with my HVAC system, and repaired it professionally and efficiently. His pricing was fair, and he was knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with. I truly appreciated his prompt service and expertise. I highly recommend Ali to anyone who needs air conditioner or HVAC repair. You won't be disappointed! read more

Did great work, timely response, fair price. Called them on a Sunday and they arrived within an hour.

USE THIS COMPANY!! I got central air installed in my 1960's home by Ali and his team. Ali was communicative, honest, and had the best prices. I got the best quote from Ali and top of the line equipment. It's been a month since I got my AC system installed and it's been the best money I've spent!! According to my older family members, I saved $10,000+ by using this company. Thank you Ali, I'm glad I found a reliable and honest AC tech. read more

So glad we called ARA Heating. They responded quickly and were able to come out the same day, which was a huge relief. Ali was knowledgeable, honest, and easy to talk to--no upselling, just straightforward advice and fair pricing. We have an older unit, and he was still able to diagnose the issue and fix it on the spot. That alone says a lot. Thanks so much, Ali, for the great service. We'd absolutely recommend ARA Heating and wouldn't hesitate to call them again for any heater or AC needs. read more

We wanted our AC unit inspected, and Ali was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He was communicative and fair with his price. We are happy with his service and wanted to share with YELP'ers. read more

Great work from Ali and the Ara Team! After working with multiple other companies, I was recommended to Ali and AARA Heating and Air Conditioning. We bought a condo that had outdated HVAC, and the first few companies we paid to diagnose only tried to upsell us over and over again. Ali and his team came out to measure, ask for what our goals were, our budget, and how to make the most of the spend for both short and long term value. It took us a few months to finalize, and their team stuck with us over that time. When we were ready, they prepped their team and had the right equipment and experts there on time to quickly and effectively install everything. We switched from a 1980's condenser with hydronic heating to a fully efficient forced air heating and AC system that is quiet and effective. Through all of the installment process, which took less than one day for everything, they managed to do everything fast and effective. Thank you Ali and the Ara Heating and Air Conditioning team for helping keep my little ones happy and comfortable in their home! read more

Yes very good experience. Ali came out within 2 hours and got our system analyzed and recharged in no time. He did a thorough inspection which included the outdoor unit and the apparatus in the attic. All of this at a very, very reasonable price. Thanks Ali! Will be contacting you when that compressor goes ka-plunk! read more

Ali and his crew is fantastic to work with and I highly recommend anyone looking to upgrade to use them. We just purchased a very old home in Irvine with a dated HVAC system. Before taking on the job he carefully explained to me what needs to be done. His team put the furnace up in the attic, replaced our condenser and put in whole new ducting. His team was very professional and cleaned up the area after each working day. He also helped out immensely by removing and disposing of a 100gallon water tank from the garage. Thank you Mr. Ali !! read more

Stumbled upon Ali through Yelp and he did not disappoint. He is extremely knowledgeable and certainly knows how to tune up an HVAC system or in my case, old furnace, to a new 4th generation Google Nest Home. He was able to pinpoint and diagnose every fault and explained his process as I shadowed his work. His work is truly professional-grade. I will be calling Ali back again for all of my home needs. Thanks! read more

We lost more than $6K..Faulty workmanship in our office HVAC system. Upon inspection of a certified company we had to hired, the company found the main lines to the unit were improperly wire nutted together. One wire nut was incorrectly installed, causing the wires to overheat, catch fire, and short out the entire system's control boards. Additionally, the indoor motor's low voltage wiring was shorted, and the SAVANT thermostat was blown and shorted in two places. Both the main PC board and defrost board were also damaged, with the defrost board having a blown capacitor. We reached out to them several times with not respond. read more

If you're looking for an honest, professional and very reasonably priced heating/ac guy look no further. Thank you Ali for making time on a busy Friday to squeeze me in last minute into your scheduale, My AC is cooling as it should now read more

Days after I cancelled my appointment with Ali, my AC broke again. Ali was professional and gracious and scheduled me on the calendar to come out right away. He diagnosed the problem and quoted me a reasonable price. He called the manufacturer of my AC and I even heard him ask them if he orders a part and he doesn't end up needing it if he could return it. He really looks out for the customer. The part came in, he came back out right away and fixed everything. He is courteous and professional and completely trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him and refer him to anyone looking for a trustworthy HVAC repairman. read more

Excellent Service, very efficient, Very quick, Ontime and very friendly. Ali was very honest and we wish him the best. read more

ARA serviced out A/C in early July when it stopping working all of the sudden. Ali was very professional from beginning to end. Scheduling an appointment was hassle free, and he diagnosed the problem quickly and was able to get our air running in no time. His fees are fair and I recommend him highly. Thank you Ali! read more

Ali is absolutely amazing and he'll be our go to person moving forward for any HVAC issues! We've been going through so many issues with our AC for almost a month and had tried to work with two other companies before - one is demanding for additional services that are obviously not required and the other quoted us a rocket high price with possible a long lead time. It's simply a nightmare until we met Ali with ARA. He showed up perfectly on time and identified and resolved the issue right away. He also provided a lot of great information for our reference! If you're going through a nightmare with your HVAC and wanted to make sure you work with a reliable and knowledgeable technician, Ali is the guy! Thank you, Ali, for your assistance! read more

Our A/C went out in 100 degree weather about 5 PM on a Friday. I called Ali (the owner) and asked how soon can he be at our home? He said in a few minutes....Wow, I was shocked! He was able to diagnose and replace the faulty capacitor which controls the outside fan condenser which was not working after the A/C went out in a few minutes...I would have thought there is no way an A/C repairmen would respond in just minutes in this kind of extreme heat. read more

ARA installed our AC and furnace a couple of years ago for a very affordable price. Last week my nest thermostat started acting up, on an extremely hot day of 101. I called the owner/installer and he said he would drop by in an hour. Which he did. The problem was a chip on the ac unit which he replaced right away and didn't charge us a dime. Amazing person amazing service. We are so happy we picked his company to install our ac. read more

Ali at ARA has been my go-to-guy for any HVAC/AC issues since my first call and Yelp review over 7 years ago. Over the years, he has done a great job handling any minor repairs needed at my home or at my parents' home. Last week, the AC unit at my parents' home stopped working and Ali came over same day I called him. For the first time, he mentioned the 25+ year old unit finally died. He suggested replacing with a Carrier Heat Pump which I had never heard of. He gave me this serial numbers and a quote and I began immediately researching everything. Ultimately, I went with Ali and his suggestion. He quickly scheduled the work. He and his crew showed up with 2 professional-grade vans. They were on time. Their work was very clean and professionally done. He explained everything to me and I believe the price I paid was a fair one. Today, I am enjoying the cool air from my new heat pump. I will continue to call Ali at ARA for any HVAC issues. read more

quickly responded to our request. Ontime. Honest and upfront. Ordered part and communicated well regarding the costs. Fixed the issues perfectly. Recommend his business to all friends and people that looking for a great A/C services. read more

I really appreciate Ali's honesty. Any repair company can be good at what they do but it is always hard to find a company that's truly honest. I am so happy to have found Ali. We sold our home and just had a home inspection done. The inspection showed that our 4 year old AC unit wasn't reaching 20 degree differential. I don't even know what that means but Ali took his time explaining how my AC exactly works and that humidity can effect the degree differential. He carefully looked all the filter areas, opened up the ac unit, he even cleaned the inside of the unit for me. He throughly checked every single wire of the unit. I was hovering over him asking about everything he was doing. He was so honest and took his time explaining everything for me. He concluded that there's nothing wrong with my AC unit. read more

Ali is very good at fixing my AC/heater. I texted him the night before. He showed up the next afternoon. He is very knowledgeable and has good communication skills. I will recommend him to anyone. read more

Absolutely,Responsibly,Amazingly (ARA) or I just say (ALI). I can not say enough good things about Ali. Ali's knowledge,expertise and diagnostic skills are above and beyond the competition. This review is NOT being written by a program but by a 76 year old guy. I am convinced that the problems that came up last year and new ones this year would not have been solved by a lot of other companies.You can not replicate what Ali knows without being out in the real world working on all kinds of equipment and willing to go the extra mile to solve the issue. Do your self a favor and let Ali help you. Andy D read more

We called Ali late on a Friday night (9pm) and he came out early Saturday morning - totally saved us before an open house. Will definitely recommend him Thanks Ali! read more

I called some other company and they never showed up or called. The Service provided by ARA was very quick and efficient! Worth every penny! Highly recommended! read more

My husband found this company on yelp and saw all the great reviews and got in contact with someone to schedule an appointment. We wanted help with the negative air flow in our house and they said they could definitely help with that. My husband scheduled a date and time for someone to come out and no one showed and never heard from anyone. If they didn't have the time to come out on the date scheduled they could've just let us know in the beginning instead of just not showing at all. read more

Very professional and helpful. Would highly recommend! Came to clean my ac and did a great job.

Had an appointment scheduled, zero follow up while we've been without AC. No accountability, look elsewhere.

ARA Heating and Air conditioning arrived within 1 hour of my calling the company. Ali immediately diagnosed the problem. He was able to go out that afternoon and pick up the necessary parts, return to my residence, and fix the furnace. He was pleasure to do business with, and I would recommend him and his company to all. read more

Extremely expensive, quick response time. Called Ali and he came within one hour to replace ICM271 control board and Honeywell T6 Pro thermostat. The control board sells for $51.90 at Walmart, the thermostat is $60.00 at Hone Depot. Ari charged me a total of $690.00 for these two parts and simple installation that took him well less than one hour. A very expensive lesson learned. read more

I am writing my review a few months after the owner came by to replace our heating thermostat, so I don't remember his name, only that he is the owner. He did a great, superior job. 5-start quality. And he is a wonderfully accommodating guy. It was a great blessing to find him via Yelp reviews. The only reason I hesitate to write this review is that, if my 5-start review convinces you to use him, he may not be available the next time I need him. He really is great. read more

After suddenly experiencing malfunctioning air conditioning in our home I actually saw the ARA truck while walking. I made a call and Ali, the owner, told me to expect him in approximately 2 hours. Like clockwork he arrived and within 2 minutes after hearing of the issue, he identified to problem, had the replacement part and was able to resolve the problem within 30 minutes. Excellent service provided by a true knowledgeable professional. I'm very happy to reccommend ARI and regret it has taken me several months to submit this review. read more

Two years ago Ali came and fixed my ac. He came again yesterday because excessive water was coming out of my secondary water line of the ac unit and that is only an emergency if the primary line is clogged. He unclogged it and raised my water pipes that has gotten sagged over time. That fixed the problem. Price was reasonable and he never up-sell you for anything you don't need. I totally trust Ali! Give him a call guys! read more

Our old Bryant heater went out the week of Christmas and we couldn't get someone to repair it until we got ahold of ARA. Ali came out the same day and had the replacement part on hand in his big van. He repaired it quickly and professionally. He's a great part of the Irvine Community. read more

We greatly appreciate the service we received from Ali. He was able to quickly diagnose our problem, clearly communicate the repair process, and fix our AC. The price was good and he did not try to talk us into buying a whole new AC. In addition, he called us back promptly and was able to provide service within a couple of days. He was professional and we are grateful to have an AC repair specialist we can trust. read more

Had my air conditioner repaired and everything is in good working order. They had the truck in and out in two days.

Who you gonna call when you need someone to fix your air conditioner in the middle of a heatwave? Charlie and ARA Heating and Air Conditioning. Charlie returned our call promptly, arrived on time, masked and shoes covered up, identified the issue right away, and double-checked everything. He replaced the capacitor for us and advised us on proper maintenance habits. He took the time to explain everything, was polite, knowledgeable, and super friendly to our shihtzu. He seemed genuine and professional. The fees were reasonable compared to our last company. Our unit is on the way out and when it does go caput, we won't hesitate to call them back. A++ for service and at this moment I'm enjoying the comfort of a working AC while the heatwave continues. Thanks Charlie, et al!! read more
