Still the best in town. Unit stopped working very late in the work day, called, they would send someone over the next morning which is normal and usually fine, but I smelled burnt metal and told them I was nervous about that. They sent someone over that night to check things out. Ordered parts and up and running in a few days. THE best place there is, no upselling, friendly and efficient as always. Thank you this time to the owner Jim, and to Crystal, Faith and Soop. read more

Required several callbacks on improper installs. I ended up fixing things myself. Rip off charges and refused to document hours worked. I would recommend only to people I hate. read more

Excellent company! I've had them put in a brand new AC unit when I replaced my Swamp Cooler with real air conditioning! Hallelujah!! AND they also put in a Mini-Split at another property. They will give you options so you get the best product for your needs at the best price! They - from the office to the guys in the field are all super nice, easy to work with, professional, knowledgeable and you should definitely hire them for All your AC needs. read more

See all

Rarely leave reviews but this was the best service experience we have had, efficient, on time, and the a/c runs better and is no longer musty. Ruben replaced the capacitator and answered all our questions. He was great, straight forward. Couldn't believe how efficient it was. Would use them again very definitely. Very good, professional, local business to support. So glad we called them read more

I thought I had a good experience but calls and emails were never returned regarding my charges. The simple problem as described by the repairman ended up costing my almost a thousand dollars. In talking with another HVAC/AC company, I believed I was over charged for a part that should have been covered under the other part I was charged for. But I don't know because as soon as I paid, I never heard from them again. Ill definitely not use them again. I don't trust them. read more

Finally, an A/C company that communicates promptly, responds promptly, and provides stellar service. My wife and I are teachers and unfortunately had to replace our A/C this summer. Every other company we called gave us outrageous estimates and left us feeling hopeless and confused. Family air came and their service guy Kurt has been nothing short of professional, prompt, considerate, and absolutely helpful in every way. Though our new A/C unit was a big financial bite for us, Family Air made came asap, did the work professionally, and still answer our calls when we have questions or concerns. Highly recommend. read more

My family has had great experiences with Family Air. Family Air has taken care of our needs every time we needed help with our HVAC system. There's no other company we go to when issues come up. I highly recommend them. read more

We are extremely happy with Jim Beard, the owner, and his team. We had two state of the art units, a 3 ton and a 4 ton, installed by only three guys, Greg, Ryan and Gerardo (all very friendly, helpful and funny) in less than 6 hours and the units are running perfectly with no problems. The units are a tight fit in their closets with just about a couple of inches of space to spare. However, these guys are attic rats, they get into places that I would never even contemplate to get it, and they do it gracefully and a with a smile. Jim knows how to pick his employees and treats them like old friends. We had a small hiccup with the rebate from TEP and Jim and Rick were there every day to make sure it happened, regardless of their additional work and time, for that we are very grateful. Jim was involved in every aspect of the job, including the all important first hour of the installation. He was very accessible and will promptly return calls, you can count on that. And his cost for the work was very competitive and fair, it beat other's estimates. I have already referred Family Air to my friends and will keep an eye for if and when they need new units installed. We also have a maintenance contract with them that the office will follow up and make the appointments as required. Now we can look forward to a cool summer, at least indoors... read more

Terrible Customer Service, Zero Response to several calls. This goes back a bit.. We purchase an HVAC system from Family Air in July of 2016, within a year we started having issues. Since then, we have had several issues including the main coil going bad. Like clockwork, every time we called Family Air--we got no call back. I would rather sleep outside for a Tucson summer than do business with this company again. Yes, it was that frustrating. P.S. If I could have submitted this review with zero stars, I would have. read more

We retired to rural Tucson this past year, and our AC ran just fine all through the summer. 'Went to test it out before the heat comes around this year and it wouldn't start up. The outdoor condenser fan would not come on. Now, I'm a fairly capable do-it-yourself-er. I initially suspected this could be a motor capacitor issue - since there was a hum from the unit but the fan would not start despite the fact it would spin freely with a little push (telling me the fan motor itself was an unlikely culprit). 'Was about to buy a new capacitor and swap it out, but since the AC hadn't been checked-out by a "qualified" technician since we've lived here I went in search of a good local HVAC company. Family Air was my choice after seeing how many good online reviews they had. Even more important to me is when a company actually RESPONDS to bad reviews, and these guys are awesome in this regard! I called them. My call was answered right away by a live person, Rebekah, who was smart, thorough and courteous. She said a technician could be dispatched the next morning within a two hour window. Great! Ralph arrived early in the time window after he'd called me in advance to announce his ETA. He pulled up in a nice clean work van, and was very cordial and friendly. Ralph went right to work diagnosing our system. Sure enough, my initial suspicion re the failing capacitor was spot on. But Ralph saw some other things that I was not knowledgeable about, and he readily answered my questions and provided intelligent explanations. An inquisitive customer like me can be off-putting to repair people who are incompetent or in any way dishonest. Ralph was outstanding; a five star technician in every way. I had a follow-up question after the service, and Rebekah handled it professionally and promptly. In conclusion: Outstanding office staff and A+ field technician. Cost of the service call was fair. 'Would definitely recommend! read more

With 8 rental houses to manage (6 ours; 2 other's), we need good, reliable firms to call upon. Other than reliability, we're looking for companies and people with honesty, integrity, and (of course) fair pricing. Well, we were fortunate to find an A/C company recently that fit our criteria, but these folks ain't it! A tenant contacted me, since the A/C wouldn't go below 80 degrees. I'd used Family Air on another rental with success, so called and let them know my situation. Also explained that I was looking for a reliable A/C firm to call upon when needed for rentals and our primary home. The rep seemed friendly and helpful, and we scheduled. The tech went to the home, and I spoke with him when he needed cost approval. He assured me the $200+ would take care of the problem, so the work was approved. He also mentioned how the filter was filthy, with dust and hair, so he had to replace it. I got the invoice; $17 for a filter. I spoke with the tenant who is responsible for the filters. He'd been cleaning it every two weeks, and had just changed it 3 days prior. He sent a photo of the one the tech removed, and it looked pristine. The rep said the tech should have taken a photo, but since he didn't, she'd remove the charge. I believed my tenant. He's responsible, works for an A/C company, so knows the importance of a clean filter. She removed the charge, and the total was now $216.56. The tenant let me know the temp still wouldn't go below 80 degrees. Called Family Air back and the tech was scheduled to return. At this visit, the tech said it needed a thermal expansion valve, so he needs authorization for this $700+ job. Although he initially said the first work would definitely fix the problem, I approved it after speaking with the rep. They ordered it; it would arrive "on the truck" Monday. Monday came; no TXV. No on the truck, but should be on Wednesday's truck. Meanwhile, the tenants are roasting. I was told there were portable A/C units available for loan and I'd get a call. Never happened. Now the tech is supposed to be there on Wednesday to do the fix. Since we'd waited so long, plus no part on the truck when we were told it would be, we thought we'd have priority. Nope. Got the 12-2pm slot. Now he gets on the roof and finds freezing, but it is almost 4pm (he was late). While it takes about an hour for a thaw, he cannot wait, nor return in an hour. Would he be back Thursday morning then? Nope! Friday?!? Nope! He'll be back Monday; there are others scheduled for Thursday and Friday! But we'll be his "first call" of the day. So, calling the office, I'm scrambling for the portable A/C loan they told me about, since this is another FIVE-DAY wait. They'll phone when they get one. Yep - no call on that. But - he IS scheduled for FIRST thing Monday morning, right? We're assigned the 10-2:00 slot (this is "first in line"?!?) I phone to confirm; they changed it to the 11-3pm timeframe! (Must be customers waaay more important than us!) The tenant texted at that time that when the tech was there prior, he said it was "cooling down", while it blew hot air, and that he'd left his truck parked in the middle of the street, where neighbors had to maneuver around it. Just one more thing ... The tech was to phone us when he was on the way over, so we could meet him at the property. He didn't. Once the time frame was well underway with no phone call, my husband just went over there. He found the tech walking through the house to go to the back and plug in his tool. The female tenant was working in the back yard, and had no idea he had come there, much less had come into the house; no warning! He (finally) comes and does the job, and I get the invoice, expecting $700+ (in addition to the $200+ I already paid when I was told that would definitely fix the issue). The invoice is for $1,758. Why? Well, they hadn't bothered to mention that they charge $70/pound for coolant, and they would use 15 pounds. The coolant alone was $1,050. Looking on Amazon, I see it goes for $113 for a 25# canister (so $4.52/pound). My 15 pounds cost them $67.80 or less, and they charged me $1,050. Okay, maybe they'd have to use the entire 25 pound canister to get the 15 pounds out, plus (of course) there's the expertise, etc. So, at $113 for 25 pounds, go ahead and triple, quadruple - oh heck - make it 5 times the cost. That would be $565. To be fair, I learned that others charge a lot too, one was $50 per pound. But still - Family Air charged $70. Might want to ask around for coolant charges before hiring these folks, if nothing else. They won't get any more business from us. Oh! And while we were discussing what work needed to be done and why - I could get straight through to the rep every time. Once the work was done and I wanted to talk about the charges, she absolutely would not take the phone calls. I stayed on hold 10-20 minutes some of those times I phoned. Finally gave up on her altogether. read more

Very good experience with Family Air, who I hired to come and clean/maintain my HVAC, which hadn't received any maintenance for a few years. The tech was easy to work with and friendly, and was very thorough, pointing out his findings (which were thankfully that everything was running well) and making suggestions to ensure reliable operation. Good stuff, I recommend giving them a call! read more

These folks are the absolute BEST. Another perfect job, this time a new a/c that quickly became the install from hell. Through all the various difficulties in this very tight space (package unit in a condo), the team was always pleasant, professional & competent. Kevin is excellent - extremely knowledgeable, very professional & proficient, fast, and takes the time to answer questions. A great tech with a great company. I have dealt with them for many years and they never fail to perform & live up to expectations. read more

The owner of Family Air contacted me and that space where I didn't hear from them Jim the owner was having some health issues. I can totally understand that having had health issues myself. Jim is a great guy and has a real good sense of humor. He has been working hard to figure out why the unit I purchased is not behaving efficiently. We are suspecting it was the thermostat. They replaced that and I'm awaiting the bill to see if there is any change and Jim is working with the manufacturer, American Standard studying data from the unit to see what is going on? I changed my rating of Family Air to a 5 star rating because I think they deserve it. Everyone in his company has been very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful to us in our purchase, installation, and trouble shooting of the unit. I really do recommend Family Air now. Thanks Jim. read more

Kurt came out to give estimate. Great guy! Price was very competitive and job was completed way ahead of schedule. Workers did a great job and were both clean and professional. Highly recommend Family Air read more

Very happy with our new unit replacement so far. Customer service was great, and all work was completed as scheduled. Keep up the great work Family Air! read more

They scheduled an installation quote appointment for this morning (9/18/17) between 8 and 10 last Thursday. At 10 am, the person calls my husband to let him know he's still an hour away from coming. After being in a house without AC for going on 14 days, this says to me "I don't care enough about you to be on time to my appointments." I feel like if I accepted their bid, they aren't going to care enough to be on time to do the installation either. Also, I left a message (last Monday about 4:50 PM) to have them call me but I never heard from them. I don't know what those people who had someone call them after their posted hours mean that someone called back. I live in 3 points too and it's hard to get anyone to come out our way to help us. All my experiences with this company are one star and don't bother. read more

We had a new split air put in my craft room and could not seem to get it to work. Mike, the technician drove out this morning. It is working wonderful after he explained a few things to us. This company goes above and beyond what is expected and we will sing their praises hither and yon. read more

I spoke with David and Steve while they were out working. They were super friendly, professional and helped answer some questions I had about my heating unit. I will definitely be calling Family Air when I need maintenance or work done on my unit! Great job guys! read more

Family AIr was quickly and informatively responsive to our questions about establishing an annual HVAC checkup contract. The owner provided the information and the office followed up to set up the onsite visit promptly. This is a professional shop and their price is reasonable for the competence they offer! Kurt is the person to ask for because he know the equipment and how it is correctly installed. You may have to follow up but the company is ethical and committed to strong customer service. read more

So it's 107*F in Green Valley AZ and the AC quits...oh happy day. I call these folks late in the afternoon and they say we will be there tomorrow morning with help. Sure enough, by 11AM a guy was on my roof. He worked up there for a full hour and bingo...in 20 minutes later the inhouse temp dropped four degrees. He had found a bad electrical connection caused by a failed part and he had a new one in his van. A hundred and sixty buck later he was on his way and I had a cool house again. Fast-efficient and I really appreciated him explaining what he found in detail. Second time they have saved the day and the cost was less than I expected. Don't use anyone else!!! read more

I highly recommend Family Air. I can't say enough wonderful things about this company. My a/c was freezing up and not working. Another company came to the house and told me I would need a new A/C unit and that my current A/C was completely broken. I called Family Air and Greg F came to the house and completely checked everything. The unit was not broken and was completely fine except for two minor things that the previous company did not even check for. all for a lot less than what the previous company quoted for a "band aid fix" Why am I telling this story? Because sadly there a lot unscrupulous companies out there and buyer beware. Family Air has a customer for life because of their professionalism and fair prices. My family and I are so grateful. read more

In the heat wave of spring we came home to an inside heatwave, calling one of the services that heavily advertise, we arranged for them to come out the next afternoon, upon inspection of our HVAC he immediately diagnosed the problem a stuck valve, he then called his boss to see if the part was available, but then suddenly reversed his initial replace the valve with we would need to replace the whole HVAC system (he had just told us the system was in great shape except the valve) when we asked if the valve could just be replaced he said yes for $2500, but they wouldn't guarantee their work, so we paid for his service call, and said we would think about replacement, he then pulled out numerous brochures quoted us a $12,000 replacement cost, and for $3000 more a solar unit that would cut our monthly bills down quite a bit, we thanked him and said we would be in touch. The next day my husband was reliving the story when a coworker said "hey call Family Air, they have worked on our family's system and they are great, very reliable and fare prices. I called Family Air, they sent Ken H. out, he immediately diagnosed the stuck valve, said our unit was in good shape, he got the valve unstuck, recharged it for us to get it through the heat wave, said this should hold it through summer, but recommended we replace the valve in the fall, the quote for parts and labor around $1000. Here we are in fall, made it through the heat, called Family Air, the quote was $1072.00, Ken came out replaced the valve, serviced our system, said we should be good to go. I will recommend them to anyone that will listen, they are friendly, professional, and fare on their pricing. The other guys were just upscale upscale upscale, no thanks, they advertise that they are veteran owned and friendly to veterans, but I found them not so honest. THANK YOU FAMILY AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I found out several things during our search for a new AC/Heating system: 1. Everyone, and I mean, everyone (friends, family, co-workers, mail carriers, bank tellers) recommends their AC guy. 2. You must be a direct descendant of royalty to get one of these AC guys to work on a Labor Day weekend... even if it's Tucson and your AC is out. 3. When your AC is out, any chocolate item in your house should be refrigerated. We decided on Family Air for replacement of our unit. Jim and Bill were great throughout the process. I felt we received quality work and did not feel gouged by the price. read more

The story is one I'm sure you are all familiar with. You move into a new house and immediately something goes wrong. For us it was the fan on one of our AC units on a SUNDAY! We called around and Family Air was available. The rate was very reasonable, time and a half for a weekend ($127/hr) and they even offered a Raytheon discount. We were told that the technician would be out in about three hours. Sure enough at 2.5 hours we received a call from our technician, Todd, letting us know he was 20 minutes away. This may seem like a little thing, but knowing that your AC is only 20 minutes away from getting fixed is such a relaxing feeling. Todd was polite, knowledgeable, and there maybe 30 minutes before we had nice cool air. I would highly recommend Family Air to anyone asking! read more

Our AC stopped on Thursday night. We called the people who installed it 4 yrs ago since parts are still under warranty (Chas Roberts) on Friday. They didn't come out until Saturday and said it was the blower motor and would cost $304 to replace. I confirmed I just had to pay labor and they said yes. That seemed awfully expensive to me. They said someone would call me to setup the install if they didn't have my size motor. 3 days later and still no call. So I turned to Yelp and saw that Family Air had some good reviews. I called them and asked about the install cost. They said it should take less than 2 hours and less than $200. Jim was very professional and straightforward. I set up the install with them as I had to wait for the part. 8-10 was the time. Jim called me just after 8 to let me know his guy was sick and that he would be doing the install himself. He arrived a few minutes later and was done not long after. He was very courteous and helpful. He didn't try to sell me anything else or price gouge me. I ended up paying less than 1/3 the price Chas Roberts quoted and received 10 times the customer service! I couldn't have asked for a better person or company to help us out! I will recommend Family Air to everyone I know and will 100% use them again in the future when needed! Thank you Jim and Family Air for restoring my faith that there are good people and companies who care about the customer! ! read more

Called when I realized our AC was not working to full capacity. They came that day! Chris, the technician, was terrific. I trust him. Explanations clear, no scare tactics. Chris ended up running late, but came anyway, and worked at our place from 5:30 to 7. The only down side was that they had to do another visit to check out the second unit -- and charged for the service call. But overall, the price was very fair, and the repair excellent. I'll be calling them for annual checkups on our system, for sure. Best I've found. read more

Family air is one of the first companies I called when I moved to town and have not regretted it. They have done service work, installed a mini split, moved a different mini split and now waiting for a quote to run new duct work and unit on new construction. So, yes, we've used them more than once. What I love most, is every one of the guys they have sent out to our home has been polite, accommodating and CLEAN CUT, (not looking like they just escaped prison) which is a huge deal for us and that's getting harder and harder to come by these days. The service they provide is exceptional. To those that take time to read reviews of companies before hiring, you won't be disappointed when choosing Family Air. read more

If the tech showed up on the day I was told this would've been a 5 star review. That didn't happen. I gave them 2 stars because once the tech showed up, he did the job much faster and cheaper than expected. I needed my mini-splits repaired and set an appointment. The tech showed up between the hours I was told and called when he was on his way. It turned out that it was going to take 6 hours so I had to schedule the work the next week. I had to take the day off because of the length of the work. He was to show up between 8 and 10:00 am on a Friday. I would get a call when he was on the way over. 10:00 came and went without a call. I called at 10:30, and after I was on hold, I was told he was having vehicle problems but should be there in about 45-50 minutes. I asked that someone call me if something happens and there would be a delay. 11:20 came and went without a call. I call and was told she thought the problem was solved and someone should be there by 12:30. 12:30 came and went and no call. I call and was told he wasn't coming and I could have the next available tech who was then in Sahuarita-an hour drive away. Or I could have the tech come out tomorrow at 8:00 am. I took the later. I can't believe I didn't get one single call and that they didn't know enough that I wasn't get a tech that day and I could've gone into work. On Saturday, he did show up and did a great job. Like I wrote, he was able to do the job in under 2 hours and one-third of the estimate. He was professional and courteous. If it was on Friday only I'd give them 5 stars. read more

First off Family Air offered the best price for what I needed from many different offers. The owner himself came to my house for the estimate. Second the service installation, a complete air conditioner replacement, was completed when they said it would be. The repairmen were professional and friendly. Third the quality manager called me after installation to check on the work and to help with any questions that arose. There were some minor issues that he fixed for us. He was very professional and very friendly also. I very much appreciated the attention to service that we received, I doubt many other companies would have gone that extra step. He gave us some useful information related to upkeep and care also. For anyone needing air conditioner service/repair/installation I would highly recommend Family Air. read more

My A/C went out Tuesday evening, too late to call. I called Wednesday at 9:00 am and was told they couldn't come until Thursday between noon and 4:pm. I was okay with that because of the yelp rating. The technician called at 11:00 and showed up at noon as planned. After looking the unit over, the technician told me that there was two leaks and that a two foot piece of line along with a service port and filter would need to be replaced. He took my information and said I would receive a quote by email. I waited for the quote until the following Wednesday. At that time I called and asked about the quote, the person who answered the phone said it wasn't ready yet. I decided I couldn't wait and called another company. That company sent a technician out that evening. That technician found and fixed the leak that evening. As the repairs were being finished, Family Air called to say my quote had been sent to my email. However, the quote never showed up. I feel like the Family Air tech didn't know what he was doing and must not have done the quote correctly. Because of the apparent lack of experience and no follow up, I can only give one star. read more

I frantically called around 4 pm and spoke to Jim at Family A/C. He told me that they could squeeze me in and sure enough, he arrived in about 30 minutes. He popped the cover off and showed me the melted capacitor. After a quick fix, he wrote up the invoice and off her went (repair was under $200. Considering the last place we used charged about $350.00 for the same repair and took a few hours to respond, I will be recommending this place to anyone in Tucson! Dan read more

OMG!!! WE CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY!!! We needed our a/c duct work in our entry hall replaced like ASAP. They came out with in an hour and a half. They manufactured the duct work the next day and came out to install it. We were quoted one price but they got the work done faster that they realized, so it was cheaper than the original quote!!!! THAT NEVER HAPPENDS!! WE WILL USE THEM AGAIN. AND WILL REFER ALL OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO THEM. They also called to ask if they could come early.....WHAT? THAT NEVER HAPPENDS EITHER. We are so IMPRESSED with this company. We can't believe the outstanding service!! Thank you ! read more

I first contacted Family Air when our A/C went out at the end of May 2019. Their technician, Greg diagnosed the problem and said we needed a new compressor. We had FA install a 'new' compressor at a cost of almost $4000.00. One year later (6/15/2020) once again the A/C stopped working. Family Air diagnosed the problem as a bad condenser fan motor - $625.00. Now this year (7/2021) ONCE AGAIN the A/C stopped working. Family Air said we needed a new compressor for a cost of $3500. Seriously? Normally an A/C compressor will last at least 12 to 15 years. How is it possible that our supposedly new compressor failed in just two years? We waited for over two weeks in 100 degree weather for an answer from the owner and the office manager to finally tell us there was no warranty or guarantee on the 'new' compressor they installed just two years ago. I definitely cannot recommend Family Air since they have no ethics, and apparently care nothing for their customer's comfort nor loyalty. Other HVAC accompanies described Family Air's treatment as criminal and unethical. Please do yoursel, your house and your bank account a favor and AVOID THIS COMPANY! read more

After reading many reviews on Yelp for various companies, big and small, I decided Family air would be my best bet. I have a 19 year old unit that in all honesty has not been well maintained over the years. As it has gotten older it has had trouble keeping up in ther hot/ humid summer months. The Family Air technician looked things over, found the unit was low on freon, added a couple pounds and gave me the option to add a dye to help detect a leak if there is one. I was surprised that the dye was more expensive than the freon, but figured it would be worth it if it helps keep this old unit working a little longer. I've read about and heard so many stories of companies immediately claiming older units can't or shouldn't be fixed and trying to push a new unit on people and was so grateful Family Air didn't do that! I know my days are numbered with this unit and when it finally does give out on me, Family Air will be doing the replacement! Until then I know I can count on them to help me keep this thing running as long as possible. read more

I wish every maintenance company was like this one. It's probably a sad comment that the thing that blows me way about Family Air is that they schedule appointments quickly, phone if they're running late, and nearly always show up on time. Oh yes, they also fixed a furnace problem another company had created. It did take two visits, and I paid for two service calls, but it was a complicated problem and at the time of the second visit I thought I'd be looking at a costly repair, so I'm very happy with how things turned out. Highly recommended. read more

This company is top notch. Kirk, the Salesman, to the installation technicians, James and Steve, were all very professional, friendly and thorough. The quality assurance manager even showed up to see how things were going. The salesman gave us several options and pricing and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Thank you Family Air for our new AC unit. I would highly recommend you to anyone. read more

Great family company. Very close team that are prompt, fair and professional! Anything Air or ventilation related, call these guys first! I had all of my bathroom vents replaced as the ones that Richmond, the home builder, install are junk. Very reasonable for all the parts and labor. read more

Initially scheduled vent cleaning which was thorough and affordable. They checked our furnace as part of the service and were concerned about the CO level. Required to have it checked by our home insurance choice of contractors and they agreed but came in with a higher bid and I had to chase the information down from this second contractor. Pleased to get to go back to Family Air for the new furnace (which was only slightly more than fixing the 20 year old one) Polite, timely service with excellent communication!!! Have recommended to friends and would use again in the future!!!!! read more

I have several high-end vacation homes that I manage for out-of-state clients. I use two different air conditioning companies currently. But I felt I needed to comment on Family Air. There is never a doubt in my mind that they are honest and fair. I've been doing this business for over 25 years, I have grown a sixth sense with respect to being ripped off or at the very least being taken advantage of. I never feel like I need to double check anything they find regarding needed repairs. I have worked with the routine service techs and the new equipment installation techs and have had several conversations with the owner of the company, I feel very confident that my clients are being well taken care of when they're on the job. read more
