What I appreciated most was that he didn't just start replacing parts. He thoroughly diagnosed the system, explained what he was testing, and walked me through the results. He showed me that the capacitor was testing low, the contactor was worn and pitted, and even performed a megger test on the compressor to verify it was still healthy. After the repairs, he confirmed everything was working properly by showing me the compressor amperage had dropped back to normal and that the system had an 18-degree temperature split. Keon was patient with all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. He explained the pros and cons of the recommended repairs, including the hard-start kit, so I could make an informed decision instead of feeling pressured. I really appreciated his transparency and professionalism. By the time he was done, our AC was cooling properly again, and he even worked with us on the final price. If you're looking for an HVAC technician who is knowledgeable, honest, thorough, and takes the time to educate his customers, I highly recommend Keon Garcia.

When funds were tight, they suggested stopgaps to help. Because of this history, when Alex showed me that my heater was leeching carbon monoxide into my home, I knew I could trust him. While I waited for my appointment, I was provided with space heaters gratis. This IS an independently owned business, and they treat customers like family. Ozzy (Osvaldo) and Anthony installed a new heat pump and air conditioner for me last week. They were at my home three days.

Ozzy and Anthony discovered that a part of the original system was not going to work as efficiently with the new system (the dampers) given the difference in the size. Ozzy explained the difference to me, noted the cost, and the pros and cons. He didn't pressure me to upgrade the items but he made sure I had enough information to make a decision. At the end of the installation, Ozzy took the time to show me how to use the new digital thermostat controls and gave me tips on how to use the system economically. He provided me information on how to follow up if there were ever any problems. Just like other times, Vic called a few days later to see how things were going (I missed the call, but still...so so kind and thoughtful).

Last Fall (or was it the year before?) our furnace stopped working, and I called Cali HVAC for service.

He could have left it as is, since it was working, and I probably never would have known. In addition to fixing the problem pretty quickly, Oleg was also very informative and polite, answering all questions with patience and no attitudes. So, now I have moved into a new house, and even though the HVAC works, I want to have them check it out, and hopefully educate me about filters to use, what maintenance it might need, and how to make it quieter.

We live in Brentwood, Ca and have two AC units that cool different rooms of our home. Our home is 12 years old and we have had our AC units serviced whenever a problem arose. However, each time they were serviced it was a large bill for what seemed like a few minutes of work. Unfortunately, in May 2016 the AC unit that cooled the main portion of our home stopped running and I knew it would be costly! Knowing that we were only a week or two away from 100 degree plus heat spells, we had to get this repaired.. I contacted three different HVAC companies for bids. Two of these bids were in range from $13,500 to $21,000.00! Both companies told me I had to completely change out both AC units and the heating coil..Before making a decision, I contacted Fertado Heating and Air. Upon making my call, I had Jack Fertado (the owner) at my doorstep within the hour. Jack completed a through inspection of the complete system, and explained what the issue was with the system. Jack gave me a verbal estimate for parts and labor, and said he would have a written contract the next day. The following morning, I received a call from Becky (at Fertado Heating and Air) and she emailed me the contract/Bid which was exactly what I was quoted by Jack. Thanks to Jack Fertado, a new AC unit and heater coil was installed and all of the work completed in a timely and professional manner at a fraction of the cost that I was quoted by the other larger companies. It is the smaller companies like Fertado Heating and Air that have built their reputation on honesty, integrity and hardwork and continue to give their customers excellent service. To Jack Fertado and his team, thank you for the excellent service, it was appreciated and I would recommend Fertado Heating and Air to friends and family! read more

I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. First Class all the way. When my furnace went out on one of our recent cold mornings, I knew it was time to have it replaced. After all it is over twenty years old. I first met Andy, one of Fertado's techs, two years ago when he came out to do a repair. He managed to replace a couple of small parts to keep it going. I had my mother who was in poor health staying with me at that time and he was so concerned that he even came back in the evening hours to make sure that everything was still up and running the way it should. When it went out this time, I called and Becky was ready to send Jack out that very day to check things out and give me an estimate, but because of my schedule we set it up for the next day. Jack advised me on which furnace to get and had suggestions on how to keep the noise factor down since it is right in my entrance way. I was afraid that because of the holiday season, I would be out of luck until after Christmas. But that wasn't the case. They were able to get my new furnace installed within two days. So Andy was back (a top notch employee if you ask me) as punctual as usual along with Scott. They both did a fantastic job. And Jack, you should know that these are the kind of employees that you want representing your company. Thank you Fertado Heating and Air for your wonderful customer service and knowledge! read more

We installed a new HVAC system in November of 2013 and could not be more pleased with the results. We solicited bids from several companies and were astonished to see how much companies like Sears and Home Depot were charging for similiar units. Knowing that everyone in a large company needs to get a piece of the commission pie, we decided to get a bid from a local company who has been in business for many years. Fertado's bid was significantly lower. Sears wanted over $12,000 and we purchased this sytem for under $7,000. We were warned by other companies that because our home was 38 years old and had questionable duct lines, we would no doubt fail the duct test which is required post-installation by a 3rd party licensed company so we hoped the reduced cost of this unit would offset the repairs we were anticipating. Well, the duct test passed with flying colors, the HVAC system works perfectly, and we saved thousands of dollars by choosing Fertado over the "Big Boys." It is worth getting a bid from Fertado before making an important but necessary purchasing decision. Their workmen are extremely professional and efficient. Glad we chose this company!

Fertado was hired by my contractor to do HVAC and sheet metal on my new construction home in Danville. Many problems, including installing the wrong equipment, incorrectly flashing crickets, underfloor vent system non working and he still will not come back out to balance the systems (4). We recently attended mediation in an effort to resolve the many pending defects, no one from Fertado Heating & Air showed up. In my opinion, they are still making no attempt to resolve the defects and I am now taking legal action. Please do not use this contractor, as he is unwilling to resolve any problems. I will update if the situation changes....good luck. read more

I am very pleased about my recent experience with Fertado Heating & Air. After getting some pretty outrageous quotes from a few local heating and air companies I decided to give Fertado a call to see if they could take a look at my system. Not only were they fast at responding and sending a tech out but their price was fair and honest. My AC is back up and running and I couldn't be happier. It's hard to find a company with integrity and great customer service these days. I will refer everyone I know to Fertado Heating and Air because I know they'll be taken care of. read more

Wanting to be responsible, we decided to contact them for the service. When the technician arrived, the heater was working, but a few minutes later, it stopped. What a coincidence! The young technician remarked on how fortunate we were that he was there to diagnose the issue. He inquired about the age of the unit, and when we told him it was 22 years old, he said it was no surprise that it had stopped working. He proceeded to check the unit and listed several problems: it needed a new ignitor ($458), a cleaning of the blower ($510), a new blower motor ($1,100), and a new control board ($1,376). The total for all of this came to $3,444! He then suggested that instead of spending that money on repairs, we should consider investing in a completely new unit that his company could install for about $25,000. We told him we would think about it. Afterward, we decided to call Fairview Heating and Air Conditioning. They sent out Keanu, a nice, intelligent, and honest young man. We explained our issue with the heater not functioning. Keanu quickly removed the back of the unit and, within seconds, said, "I know why your unit isn't working. The gas lever is turned off!" We were shocked--how could that have happened? I immediately turned on the gas valve. When Keanu then checked out the unit, everything cycled properly and he was able to verify that everything was working normally -- just like it was before the big company's visit. Keanu was very knowlegable and explained to us -in terms we could actually understand- how our system works. Needless to say, we have found ourselves a new heating and air conditioning company!
