Had a fabulous experience with Jake from Ecology Air Innovations. He was able to come out the next day after our air conditioning went out (it went out at night) and was able to diagnose the issue and get a new motor and came back the next day to install. He was professional and took the time to explain the issue as well as answer my questions about the unit. I will for sure be giving his contact information to anyone I know who has AC issues and heaven forbid I need another repair in the future Ecology Air will be my first and only call. read more

I decided to go with Ecology Air Innovations after my 33 old HVAC system crapped out on me. They installed a brand new Trane two stage heat pump, variable speed air handler, and all new ducts. I had been looking into Trane equipment because, while a little more expensive, I wanted to go with something reliable and Trane is one of the best. I received multiple quotes on that type of equipment and Ecology Air Innovations beat everyone else's price by a mile. Mark, the owner of the company, initially responded to my request and responded back very quickly. He came out and gave me the estimate the next day. He was very professional and helped me answer any questions I had. Three of his employees came out to do the work the next week and finished the total install in two days. They were all very professional and polite. One final thing, I received a SMUD rebate with the new install that was only good through the end of the month, and I was doing this very last minute...Mark jumped through hoops for me to make sure all of the paperwork got submitted in time so that I received the rebate. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend them! read more

Ecology Air Innovations - Trane two stage heat pump - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Elverta, California

I want to share my experience with Ecology Air. A few weeks back my heater started blowing cold air during the heating process. We turned it off and after a couple days we tried it again and it started working. So we used it and after a few days during the cold morning time it started blowing cold air again. I decided to use Yelp and search for a heating and air company to inspect and repair our system. We live in Clarksburg and it was hard to find a local company willing to drive over to our area. Ecology Air reached out to me with a simple diagnostic price and if repairs are needed the diagnostic price would be waived. They also had availability within two days. I was very happy to find someone that is willing to come inspect before the new year. Right on time I got a text saying they are on their way and the name of the person that will inspect my system. I met Jake outside as soon as he arrived and quickly he knew more about my system by just looking outside at the unit on top of the roof. He knew the brand, model and year it was built. He assured me we have a top of the line Trane A/C system for an all electric house. He went inside the house and inspected everything and started the system. It started blowing warm air again. He quickly explained how the electric heating works on these systems and what I experienced on those cold morning in the low 30s had caused the system to defrost and that's why it started blowing cold air. He stated if I waited about 5-10 minutes it would have switched back to warm air once it defrosted. He spent about 20-30 minutes educating me on how it works compared to gas heating (furnace) and walked me through how to take care of it. I was very thankful for his expertise and how he was willing to share all this information. The system has been running fine ever since and I do notice during the very cold morning it will switch to defrost and back to warm after a few minutes. He also gave me tips on how to keep it from working extra hard during the very cold nights. Just to give you more insight to why I was experiencing this for the first time, we purchased the house in 2017 and have been using the radiant heating with a boiler all these years and never used the electric system to heat the house. This is our first year because the boiler is having issues and we have plans to replace it with a new one. We like the radiant heat much better, but now I know more about our a/c and heating unit on the roof. Thanks Ecology air for helping us and sharing your expertise! Great company and great service! Highly recommend! read more

Down goes furnace ... down goes furnace!! And right before the holidays meaning my family couldn't take refuge from the cold at school or work. So, I got my system checked out and received four quotes to repair/replace my furnace/system. One of the quotes was done by Ecology co-owner Mark Gilmore who came out to my home and patiently listened while I explained my wants. He provided me a quote, explained my options, and left. No sales pressure or BS about equipment. After considering the overall age of my split-system I decided to replace the whole thing with an energy efficient system and decided to hire Ecology because they are a small, locally-owned company that installs Trane equipment (Consumer Reports lists Trane at 8/10 on reliability). Once my decision was made, Mark kicked into high-gear to help me with applying for SMUD financing and a $1500 rebate, and scheduling my install. The install was done by company co-owner Jake and their employee Nick. Talk about FAST ... they got the system installed and tested within a 6-hour timeframe. And all the while they made practically no noise and definitely did not make a mess. If you are considering repairing/replacing your system, I highly recommend calling Ecology Air Innovations. You will not be disappointed. read more

My furnace stopped blowing hot air. Jake was here the next day, found the problem within 1 hour and only charged me for the service call. He checked out the unit, found the problem and explained to me the fix and what else was going on with the furnace. So glad I found them and will use them again for my maintenance, repairs, and eventual replacement. .. and I'm not in San Francisco.. South Placer County! read more

After multiple attempts to install my nest thermostat, I finally learned that a technician needed to ground my common wire. I looked on Yelp and found Ecology Air gave me a competitive quote. Mark fixed my problem immediately and gave me a great deal on a furnace tune up. What I liked most is that Mark didn't try to up sell me. He just diagnosed my furnace's condition and told me my options. Mark gave me a great deal on his services, and I'll look to him when installing a new system in a few years. Honest HVAC technicians like Mark are not easy to find! read more

My Nest thermostat suddenly stopped working. I called Ecology and the owner suggested a likely cause. He recommended a super easy and inexpensive quick fix, which got my Nest and AC working again. Most likely saved me a ton of money. I'll definitely keep them in mind for all my future AC and heating needs! read more

I needed some help with my HVAC and ductwork, i started a project on yelp where it reaches out multiple vendors. Ecology was quick enough to respond to my queries and concerns. They kind of had an idea what might be wrong when we discussed the issues with the heater. They replaced a board on heating system and it has been working fine since then. They gave some tips on improving efficiency and how to maximize the usage so that it doesn't effect the electric bill. I also plan on using ecology for the seasonal tune ups which would increase the life expectancy of the system read more

My AC condenser failed a few days ago and I had called a local Auburn company to troubleshoot and provide a repair estimate. Unfortunately, the tech sent out jumped to the conclusion the entire AC system was failed and the condenser was mechanically seized, requiring a massive investment in a whole new system. I was not confident that the system was truly dead despite its age and sent out several requests for info and Mark responded right away. He asked if the first tech had done a few other things in the troubleshooting process, none of which had been tried. Mark was very respectful and professional and was able to come over the next day to troubleshoot. Within 10 minutes, he had the system up and running again and cooling successfully. He did a great job and did not gouge me for the work. I will definitely keep him on speed dial if/when the old gal croaks on me sometime in the future! read more

Our A/C unit stopped working right in the middle of summer. Mark was super responsive and was able to come out to our home the next morning! He had our A/C working in less than 30 minutes! read more

The AC stopped working at the house and Mark was able to make a trip out to diagnose the issue and fix the issue very quickly! His pricing is also very reasonable! He's a really honest guy about the work that is needed and for that, I am grateful! I definitely will call Ecology Air if ever anything else HVAC re needs to be done! Highly recommend this company! read more

I called Ecology Air to get a second opinion diagnostic on our AC which wasn't cooling our home properly. Mark promptly came out to look at our unit and was able to diagnose it within 15 minutes. I was very impressed with Mark's professionalism and communication skills. I would call Ecology Air again in a heartbeat. Their receptionist Mariah was also really good and communicated very well on the phone. Hard to get anyone on the phone these days so the fact that they were so quick was a breath of fresh air. read more

Awesome help and service! I'm a customer for life! Mark got tight to the problem and fixed it quick and right!

These guys are pros. Very professional, friendly, fast installers. Replaced my entire HVAC and they showed up around 8am and were done with the Heater. A/C and thermostat by 1pm. Shortly after they left I got a call from their independent permit verifier and he showed up within 30 mins and cleared the duct leak and AC performance tests and I had a permit the same day. Only problem is with covid I guess the city check is on your own? Which is fine but I don't go into my attic on a ladder so I guess I'll do the city inspection when covid is resolved and the city sends people out again. Not this companies fault. Loved their vibe and work from quote to finish. I highly recommend them! read more

We are so pleased with the work Mark and company did. From the beginning, they were fast to reach out and fast to schedule. It's getting hot and we didn't want to be without air conditioning for long. Mark was honest with his estimate and provided several options. The team that came out was friendly and did a great job. They followed up after to let us know the status because we weren't home. I'd highly recommend them. read more

Ryan and Nick definitely deserve a shoutout!! They were amazing! They arrived right on time, and had to install my HVAC before the rains arrived. They were professional, accommodating, and great at improvising, when I failed to have additional shingles for my roof! They made a special trip to pick out shingles that would match, and even offered to come back and revise after I get the special order shingles that are the same as my roof. They made a great team, and installed the HVAC unit, replaced my old thermostat, sealed all of the ducts, and even replaced some batteries for me (that was out of the kindness of their hearts) - made sure the system was running, and working correctly before they left, and made sure I had no other concerns before they packed up. They are always welcome at my home!! Great workmanship, and great personalities!! Thanks Guys!! read more

Our heater crapped out on us right before the cold weather came. Ecology air was quick to respond and were able to service our heater no problem. Very professional! Thank you Ecology!! read more

Mark is a true professional. Helped with the full replacement of my old 4 ton, 1 stage, 1 zone, system in my 3400 sq. foot 2 story home. We ended up going with a 5 ton, 2 stage, 2 zone system. His honesty and direct approach was incredibly professional. I will be recommending his company to my clients. read more

My son's air conditioning was turning on but not blowing out cold air. The house temperature was over 85 degrees. I called Ecology Air Innovations and they were able to get us in on their first available appointment. It was a simple fix of just doing some clean up maintenance and it's as good as new. I would highly recommend them to service friends and family. Great service and good value. read more

This is a really really late review and I was looking through my messages and remembered these guys are awesome. I had them replace my entire hvac system when I bought a fixer upper house. A couple years later, I had another company to just do maintenance on the AC and the technician actually asked me who installed my entire hvac system bc it was installed really well... I didn't know if I should've told him but I think that's a compliment ? I highly recommend this company read more

I came home on Sunday night from a trip and my A/C was not working as it should. The house wouldn't cool down at all. I came to Yelp to find someone and Ecology came up first. They were right down the road so that was a definite plus. Regrettably, I couldn't be seen on Monday, but Jake came by first thing on Tuesday morning. Ever had your car doing weird noises and you go to the mechanic and you can't reproduce the problem? Yep - that's what happened. My A/C was working the way it should. But that didn't stop Jake from exhausting all possibilities and checking every single thing from top to bottom. As I hovered nearby asking endless questions, Jake patiently answered my questions and explained items in a way that still respected me. He talked to me and never at me. In other words, I never felt that I was being mansplained to. Integrity is a big thing for me. When I asked Jake if I paid by check, card, or how that would work, he paused. He felt bad charging me for not finding any problem at all. I happily paid my bill (particularly with the knowledge that they were the most reasonably priced of anyone around) and Jake let me know that if there's a problem to call - we're just around the corner. I'm grateful to have found an honest and kind company to work with for my A/C needs. read more

Both Mark and Jake were professional and friendly, the work was diagnosed and repaired timely and efficiently. I appreciated that they addressed all my concerns and corrected them. The part I needed was covered under warranty so the repairs weren't as expensive as I thought, they gave great advice for saving money in the future and I definitely recommend using Ecology Air Innovations. read more

They have always been extremely responsive. Same day service even when they told me they were booked!

I actually had a Trane system installed by them 3 years ago and they were excellently priced! They've graciously even come back to check out a few things in the attic for me at no charge, turns out it wasn't even related to the HVAC system. I recommend these guys to pretty much everyone because of their top tier service and responsiveness to my concerns. The system still works great and I'll be getting serviced by then regularly. read more

Saved my wife and I from the Memorial Weekend heat wave! Mark came and fixed our AC unit in less than 10 minutes. Thanks again Mark!

Had a diagnostic scheduled for our AC unit hopefully it wasn't going to be totally out of our budget. They came out and told us what needed to eventually be done and fixed what was needed for now at least. We are going to be looking into a total replacement with the financing offer. Would definitely recommend them for all needs. read more

Our heater stopped working on the first really cold night of the season and Jake came out quickly to try to fix it. It did fix it for a couple days but there was more wrong with the furnace than initially discovered so Mark came out a couple days later and figured out what it was and was also able to squeeze us in the next day to fix it. I have two toddlers who's rooms get very cold so it was so amazing that he was able to squeeze us in so quickly. Everything works great now and Jake and Marc were both very pleasant and friendly. We will be using them for any other heating/air issues in the future! read more

Requested a ac tune up. Scheduled just a few days later. Tech showed up right on time! Only $29 . There was one recommendation I plan to complete soon but never felt pressured. Would def recommend read more

Awesome service! My new AC company for life! They came to my rescue when my AC went out a few days ago. They were my second opinion appointment after a bigger company "overlooked" the minor issue that needed fixed and tried to convince me to spend 15K on a new system. Mark identified my issue in less than 15 minutes and it only cost me $250. As a newer homeowner I am happy that I was referred to a honest company like Ecology Air Innovations. I am so grateful for Mark and Ecology Air Innovations. read more

Mark was able to come out the same day and helped with our home AC unit; it was only blowing in warm air and the outside fan unit wasn't spinning. Thankfully it was a quick and easy fix. If we run into any problems again, I will definitely reach out to him. read more

My complete experience with Eco went well above expectations. They responded quickly to the Yelp request and we were able to schedule a visit the next day. Mark text me that he was running early and we set up an earlier appointment. He quickly identified the issue and we were on our way. I can't say enough about Mark the technician. Clearly he had extensive technical abilities along with outstanding communication and customer skills. I have complete confidence in Eco and Mark and would use or recommend their service in the future. read more

Recently bought this house and needed to replace my HVAC ASAP. Received a response very quickly and set up appt for quote within days. Had a great feeling about the co-owner and paid more than another company because of that feeling. Trust worthy ans honest - key characteristics all companies should exhibit. On the day of install, guys were here on time, they quickly got to work and did an amazing job. Really good people to work with. Definitely recommend read more

I contacted Ecology via Yelp, explained the issue and scheduled a diagnostic visit. Mark arrived within the scheduled time and quickly resolved the issue with my heating system. The house call was also affordable. Great customer service! read more

Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Took the time to thoroughly explain what was causing the a/c system to fail and presented several options for a fix. Rates were reasonable and the work was performed on the same service call. These guys seemed honest and straightforward. I will use them in the future, including when it's time to replace my HVAC system. read more

Our AC went out on one of the hottest days yet! I messaged a few businesses on Sunday evening and I received an appointment the very next day for this business. I was impressed because usually appointments that quick are not available when it's hot and in the middle of summer! Ee had an appointment between 1-3pm, and Mark hit me up around noon that he was available even sooner and was 10 minutes away. He had a mask, which was much appreciated! He came by and within about 10-15 minutes was able to determine the unit needed a new capacitor. Pricing was fair, $200 to change the capacitor. He educated me on average life of unit and capacitors and made recommendations on thermostats, how to get discounts, whole house fans, and more. It was a very pleasant and refreshing customer service experience. Thank you, Mark! read more

I am a repeat customer but until now I have never left a review. It is supposed to be 111 degrees today so I appreciate them squeezing me into their schedule as you can imagine. A couple of things that keeps me calling these guys is that there is not BS with them. I have been in construction for 30 years and I can tell when someone is trying to pull a fast one on me. There are many tells that give it away. These guys are straight up and genuine. They want your future business and they are willing to do the quick fix now and give you and honest assessment of your system so that when it does need to be replaced you will trust them to get the job done. The other thing I like about these guys is in their name... They are innovaters. Today they didn't have the exact part needed to replace bad one... So they made one onsite. They have my business. I trust them read more

Wow, great service and great price. They are thorough, explained all my options. Showed up on time and replaced HVAC. These guys are pro's. Highly recommended. read more

Quick response and quick fix. Did not take advantage or overcharge. Appreciated cost effective diagnostic fee.

I had a problem with my furnace, it was not turning on. I tried to find a HVAC repair services in yelp and tried to get a quote from Mark. He could charge me $49 for diagnostic and even more for service. But he sent me a message with possible cause. I tried his recommendation and I fixed it myself. He share his knowledge with me for free. Two thumbs up. :) Thank you Mark read more

Another firm came to service my Hvac cooling unit that wasn't working right and the tech said the unit was fine and that my problem was that I had single pane windows. I have dual pane windows. Obviously I needed another Hvac company so I called Ecology who had put one of those amazing internet connected thermostats on for me. Mark Gilmore came out and quickly diagnosed I needed a new unit so yesterday they were out and installed a really nice Lenox system that's doing a much better job of cooling the house. The install crew was professional and worked hard in the heat to get my unit in. If you are in need of Hvac work you will be making the right choice to call Mark at Ecology. read more
