One of my air-conditioning units stopped working, so I called a repairman I had used in the past…read more After seeming a bit unsure of the problem, he said the unit needed a new capacitor--but that did not solve it. I decided to try Kenneth's based on the excellent reviews, and I'm very glad I did. Kenneth came out, went straight to the condenser outside without needing to enter the attic, and identified the problem within about 30 seconds. He repaired it quickly and efficiently. He was so competent that I had him return a couple of weeks later to service my other units. Kenneth is extraordinarily efficient, personable, and clear in explaining both the issue and the repair. I also appreciated being able to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe in the middle of a heat wave. Highly recommended.

Scam. Dont trust them. My AC broke and my usual HVAC guy couldn't come out same day, so I thought…read moreI'd give Bee Right There a shot. They quoted me $3000 for a basic job on an almost brand new system. I smelled a rat, so sent them packing. A few days later my usual HVAC guy fixed the problem in under an hour for $750. Steer clear unless you like throwing your money away. Update 8/10: Michael, thanks for your comment. To clarify, your technician offered me two options - recharge the unit for $2000 or fix the leak and recharge for $3000. The HVAC company that quoted me $750 fixed the leak and recharged the system. I just received the invoice today for that work and it had been adjusted down to $675 because they didn't use as much refrigerant as expected. If there's something I'm missing about your $3000 quote that justifies a 4X multiple, please let me know.

** YOU HAVE TO SHAME THEM INTO PULLING A PERMIT THEY SHOULD HAVE PULLED BECAUSE IT'S THE LAW!**…read moreI called Yesenia at the City of Santa Maria and she said the permit was just pulled today. AFTER the install was completed and after my Yelp review. What a shady business. CENTRAL COAST HEATING & AIR DOESN'T PULL PERMITS! THAT PUTS HOMEOWNERS AT RISK! I'm extremely disappointed with Central Coast Heating & Air and feel obligated to warn other homeowners. After some red flags, I contacted the local Building Division directly and confirmed that this company did NOT pull the required permits for the work they performed. That's not a minor oversight; proper permitting is a California requirement for HVAC replacements and major installations, and it protects the homeowner, ensures inspections, and keeps insurance valid. It's in the mechanical code! Instead of being upfront or professional, they pushed ahead without following basic legal procedures. There are plenty of reputable HVAC companies on the Central Coast who actually follow code, take responsibility for their work, and don't cut corners. Unfortunately, Central Coast Heating & Air is not one of them. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want your job done legally, safely, and with integrity. UNLESS THEY SUDDENLY START PULLING PERMITS! PROTECT YOURSELVES! ******** What I didn't hear in your reply is that you pulled the required HVAC permit with the City of Santa Maria or any of the counties that you operate in. The building divisions and CSLB are on to your tactics. I am happy to remove my review if you can provide the permit # and applied and issue date that are verifiable with Building Department. Thanks in advance.*******

Ok update. This summer 2025, I made another appointment at my Boyfriends home in Paso because our…read more2 heating/AC systems were about 25 years old and needed replacement. I used them because they are in the COSTCO program so you get a huge gift card after install and city permit signs off. We are Costco executive members With the Costco program you get the top of line Lennox equipment and since we have 2 complete systems at the house this is what replaced. 2 new systems. They also upgraded the ductwork to make it run properly. We added a garage attic fan as well. We also upgraded to the WiFi thermostats you can control with the Residio app on your phone and we love them. Once it's finished an outside company comes to test system and report on airflow. The city inspector needs to see this report. When he comes so show him. Don't use the call center number. Use the local phone number I'm providing in attached photo. Paso heating was bought out by Wightens and I do not recommend that company so don't get moved over if they say they are busy. Stick with this one, it's totally worth the wait.
