Our a/c systems is about 14 years old. We have needed service on our 2 condensers about every 2 years. We decided not to live in fear any longer - time to replace them. We have used Better Air Systems for our service work and were always pleased. Having them replace the condensers left us with as good of an experience you would want after having major work done on your home. Mike (owner) checks all the boxes: knowledgeable, explains things well, is on-time, spotless work area, high quality materials, attention to details, VERY fair fee. read more

Better Air Systems - Burning lint. Fire hazard - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

How often do you see a contractor come to your home after hours on Memorial Day to fix your leaking air conditioner? I called several places around 5pm Memorial Day when my husband noticed a bad leak when the AC turned on. I didn't think anyone would be able to make it, but sure enough after getting my message, Mike calls me back around 730pm the same day and tells me he can come by. Thirty minutes later he was over with his lovely wife and worked on our unit for close to 2 hours. Our AC was up and running in no time! To top it off, the next day he texts, checking in to see how the unit is working! We've never had a contractor do that. We are so grateful for Mike's help and him going above and beyond! read more

Mike is very knowledgeable and professional. He knows his stuff!!! His estimate was thorough and fair which we appreciated as we had to get a new system. We would recommend him to any of our family or friends. read more

Mind blown! I was referred to Mike through my neighborhood web page as he was highly rated. I decided to reach out for service on my heating system. After leaving a voice message, I received a call back within 30min. I gave him a description of the problem and he said, in order to best serve me and save time he can walk me through troubleshooting. It worked! He said, when appropriate, if he can help people walk through their problems, he can train them on simple fixes and provide more time to people in need. This company has great values, is trust worthy, and ran by a man with a genuine interest in serving the community. read more

Mike came out on an urgent basis when our A/C went out. He quickly diagnosed the problem, researched how to find hard-to-find parts and is now preparing an estimate for us. He's professional, knows his stuff and understands the importance of customer service. read more

Mike was excellent! He arrived on time, fixed the problem without upcharging, and went on his merry way. As a real estate agent finding reliable contractors that don't gouge is extremely important to the success of my business. I will definitely add Better Air System to my list of trusted service providers. read more

They did not respond immediately, but the results were worth the small delay. The came to my place a couple hours after we spoke on the phone and within a few minutes diagnosed the issue as a dirty switch due to some ants. Quick fix and a very very reasonable price. No upsell. Good honest people. Glad to be a reference! read more

Mike had our AC up and running in no time. Great service and value. He also gave me some pointers on how to keep the interior and exterior units running. I'll definitely be using Better Air Systems for all our HVAC needs!! Jason (San Elijo Hills) read more

Great service and communication. Kept me informed the whole time. Very fair pricing. The work was done quickly and cleanly. I'd hire him immediately if I were you. read more

Strongest possible recommendation! I contacted "Better" late in the day yesterday, figuring I would get help in the morning. Mike messaged me back and said he could stop by "after hours" to check out my HVAC. He and his wife showed up around 8pm and he asked me for details about the problem...AND LISTENED!!!! I knew enough about the problem to help him quickly figure out that the capacitor on the fan motor was shot. Mike dug right in, headlamp on, and made the repair. Then we talked about disc golf for a while. Bottom line - I had cool air in my house 24 hours before I had hoped I would. Great service - support Mike and his family with your business! read more

Mike from Better Air Systems did a great job. He responded quickly and was at our house within 48 hours. I don't know anything about HVAC systems and Mike was straight about the issue we had. He only needed to replace two small parts and some wire. Our AC is working great again. Mike's a straight shooter and I'd highly recommend him. read more

Mike and his team installed a AC unit in my condo. Him and his team were professional, fast, and wonderful. They were willing to answer any questions and had very good communication. The install looks clean and I probably have the best installed AC in my area. If you need anything HVAC I highly recommend Better Air as they are Honest, professional, and worth every penny. read more

I turned on my AC for the first time this season and it was not cooling. I called Mike and he came out the same morning. He replaced the part and had the system cooling again within 30 minutes all at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Better Air Systems to anyone needing their system repaired. read more

One day our thermostat just stopped working... the joys of home ownership... yay. Thankfully Yelp came to the rescue and I was able to find Mike from Better Air Systems. He came the same day and although he was working on another project earlier that day, he sent my husband multiple texts saying he was still planning to come and to "keep the faith" which was pretty funny. He even called first to see if he could help my husband just troubleshoot it over the phone. Unfortunately this needed a professional, so he did make it by to help us fix. Great guy and price was reasonable! Thanks, Mike! Would definitely recommend his services! read more

Mike was very responsive, easy to schedule and incredibly thorough! VERY knowledgeable! Highly recommend! Especially in a pinch!

Had Mike come out to check and configure an AC system and heat pump installed by another installer that was ignoring me after their bad install. Mike made sure to call me back in 30 minutes and had me scheduled the very next day. He took his time to ask what was the make, model and problems. By the time Mike showed up the next day, he already had the problem figured out. He took a look, spoke with me and realized that the installer doubled the fan speed resulting in an inefficient system that was not cooling the house down. 30 minutes later, the house was cool, dry and much more comfortable. Other AC companies are not even returning phone calls during this heat wave - Mike makes it a point to take care of those that will support him for a very long time. Great guy and absolutely great customer service and technical depth. read more

Can't thank you enough for your prompt response to our request. Out heater works great now! Very professional and kind. We will do business again if needed. Thanks again read more

My furnace went out on Thanksgiving. Of all the places I called, he was the only one who picked up the phone. He let me know all my options (repair, replace, etc..) and provided all the information I needed to make a decision. When I decided, he gave me a really good deal that didn't break my budget. A month later, my heating is the best I have had. Very grateful for his help. read more

Mike fixed my AC right up. Fixed it fast and with expertise. Perfect skill and customer service.

If you are looking for honest, genius, master HVAC installer/technician's, look no further, these are the guys. They do great work, I had my ducts replaced with the proper sizes and boy was the job done right. They are tidy as well and considerate of other technicians that may need to get in the attic, perfectionists one might say. I had 4 companies come out to diagnose my situation, I can clearly see that most companies will try to sell you extra crap you don't need, these guys are not about that. They are there to help you, not put you in debt. I highly recommend hiring them, they will not disappoint. I plan to hire them for all my upcoming projects and will recommend them to all my family. Cheers! read more

They did an outstanding job very professional shows up on job site on time ... no hidden fees , Mike explained all the details before the job started and kept us updated with the progress the entire time... job site is cleaned up every day and they make sure that your house is in order before they leave the site.... we are very pleased with our new system it works just as promised nice and quiet and it keeps us warm at night and cool during the daytime .. if I could only give them a ten star rating I would read more

I live in a 3 story townhome and our AC condenser is in the attic. One day the condensation pan overflowed and water spilled over and I was only able to know something happened because the water made a water spot on the ceiling. I wanted to contact a local company who had experience in working on units like mine so I went with these guys. They were responsive and were available the next day. The technicians that cam by were professional and thorough. They not only fixed the problem but they made adjustment to ensure that it doesn't happen again. They also opened up the condenser to do an inspection to make sure that it was functioning properly. They took the time to explain what was happening (the gist of it was that initial installation could have been done better). I found their rates reasonable and I would work with them again. read more

AMAZING! HONEST! KNOWLEDGEABLE! FAIR! What more can I say. Emailed an inquiry to several businesses Mike responded within minutes. Scheduled a visit to better assess the problem for the next day and although he was unable to help with his services he was able to help in MANY other ways ! He could have easily provided some services that would not have solved our problem but he didn't. Knowledge is power and he is extremely knowledgeable and honest. He offered recommendations for other avenues to explore to try and resolve our problem. Thank you Mike for Your honesty and knowledge. read more

What can I say about Mike. He truly knows what he's doing when it comes to HVAC and is honestly one of the best contractors I've had the pleasure to work with. My AC system was super messed up so I had to re-duct the whole house as well as install a new air handler and condenser unit. The system works like a charm and Mike is super communicative when it comes to what he and his team are doing as well as any issues that they may find/come across during the install. Even better, Mike has come back several times on occasion when I had issues with the new system. He takes pride in his work and it shows with everything that's he's done so far for me. I will recommend him all day long. Great job Mike and thanks for the new system! read more

It's refreshing in today's world to get someone who is a personable human being when you call a company number. It's even better when that person is willing and able to come help fix your problem and fix it quickly and for a reasonable price. read more

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this company. All of us in San Diego (especially inland) know that being without air conditioning is the worst and many companies have to set appointments two or three days out. None of us want to be miserable on 95+ degree days. The owner was incredibly timely in responding to my messages, was quick to come out and diagnose the issue with our air conditioning, and was super patient when explaining what the problem was. It ended up being that a circuit had been tripped, which is why our air conditioning was on but wasn't actually cooling. He was so good with my dogs too! I'm so happy about that because we had been having improvements made in the home and the people we'd had out weren't nice to them at all. He gave them lots of scratches and didn't mind them being out in the house. read more

Our AC stopped working yesterday. I called several places and left messages. No responses. Today I started calling around again. The earliest possible appt I could get was for Tuesday. Then I got Michael with Better Air Systems. He said he could be here in an hour.....and he was. He showed up with Tanya. Both were very nice & professional and got right to work. They discovered they needed a part. They went to Escondido to grab the part and come back within an hour. After returning, he put the part in and had our unit working in no time! It's nice & cool in our house now. I can't recommend them highly enough! I wish all service was this good! read more

After speaking on the phone with Mike, I felt very relieved and confident he was going to solve our issue. I am writing this review without even having him out to the house yet. His willingness to explain our system and how it should work was very direct and thorough! I'm looking forward to writing up the result of our A/C system after it's been converted to a "Better Air System"! read more

Mike is amazing! Honest, thoughtful and reliable. He came and did a thuroigh assessment of my AC units, diagnosed and fix the problem. Looking forward to doing business again. Thanks Mike!! read more

I can't not begin to explain how outstanding Better Air Systems is. They came out immediately after calling and even worked with me over the phone to ensure he knew exactly what the problem was to judge how serious it was. 5 STARS! read more

Mike was so quick to respond to my AC repair on a day when it was 113 in Escondido. From the time I requested his quote to the time he was in my home fixing the problem it was less than an hour. Mind you, this was all after hours on Labor Day weekend! Truly grateful for people who work hard and are willing to go above and beyond. Would highly recommend Mike to anyone needing AC repair. His pricing was also more affordable than the many others I called. Thank you Mike!! read more

How wonderful to find an honest, competent and pleasant airco expert. Mike came to the house almost immediately and got the job done in record time. Very nice guy and very fair rates. 2 thumbs up. Mike is the real deal. So rare these days. read more

I was drawn in by all of the positive reviews, and they did not disappoint. Friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable. Mike also gave me some instructions on how to maintain my unit. If I have any future HVAC challenges, Better Air Systems will be my go-to. read more

Responded promptly to my request. It was urgent so Mike squeezed the diagnostic in in between his other jobs and then worked with my home warranty company (even though he's not one of their contractors) to get everything fixed. Would definitely call them again. read more
