AC Breaker was constantly tripping. Marco was able to make it out same day to diagnose problem. I would recommend Gladstone Heating and Air Conditioning to anyone who needs a reliable and experienced HVAC Technician. Thanks Marco! read more

These guys are great. They came in at a great price and did a great job. I hired them to replace the AC for my condo and they did a great job there so naturally I hired them again for our house, which hasn't seen any major upgrades since it was built. Install went very smoothly and they installed a thermostat of my choosing, even though they mostly support nest. They even fixed an issue with my downstairs vents where they weren't getting airflow (One of the splitters came undone in a wall). Post install is where this company shined: Both the AC and Furnace went awry shortly after install. Marco came out promptly and spent a good chunk of his time investigating the AC to see what went wrong and got it working again. I did end up finding out post install that the AC cut-off box switch was failing and needed replacement. The heater had a manufacturing error where they had to reduce a part twice. Overall. Very good work at a good price and stand by their work. read more

This company is awesome with a fantastic team. I recently had Gladstone install a new HVAC system in my home and during the entire process they were professional, efficient, responsive, and highly competitive from a pricing perspective. They did so well I referred them to my daughter for a new system in her home. Mike, Marco, and Team were the best. I highly recommend them! read more

We had Gladstone out for a full HVAC system replacement, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Mike gave us a clear, honest quote and walked us through our options without any pressure. The install team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated our home with a lot of respect throughout the entire process. They kept everything clean and organized and made sure we understood the new system before they left. You can tell they specialize in installs because the workmanship and attention to detail really show. Our new AC and furnace are running perfectly, and the house feels more comfortable than ever. I highly recommend Gladstone for anyone needing a professional HVAC install or system replacement. read more

I needed an install of 3 mini splits in University City. Mike, owner of Gladstone, answered immediately, came out and assessed what we needed within a day of me contacting him and had the install all done within 2 days of me agreeing to the quote! Throughout the entire process he and his colleague Marco were responsive (within minutes of any call or text), extremely professional, completely focused on quality workmanship and I could not be more pleased. This is a team that truly understands the value of quality, transparency and professionalism. I highly recommend Gladstone for any heating/AC needs. read more

Gladstone is a great company. I needed my AC replaced in my duplex. I called them not only were they knowledgeable they had quick service and fixed my AC read more

Fair price, prompt service, quality work. I had a few companies give me the runaround with a repair/replacement of a gas wall furnace. Mike helped me sort it out fast, so I'm definitely calling them first next time. read more

Was very happy with Mike and his service ! My neighbor and I both used him . He had the best prices and I was very happy that he installed the AC instead of techs I never met . He was also very honest and didn't try to upsell . Definitely recommend! read more

Gladstone Heating & Air Conditioning - My new AC ! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - San Diego, California

Installed brand new A/C and completely updated ducting and vents. Eight months in and A/C and heat working perfectly. Highly recommend.

My install went well so I referred Gladstone to a friend. They had a terrible experience so I'm updating my review to include their issue. It is unfortunate, but it is what it is. AC Line in the roof was not to code and installed wrong, my friend had to offer to pay to have it redone correctly. AC Line was not insulated in attic. They asked not have have a Goodman, but was gave an Amana which is made by Goodman. Evaporator installed was a generic brand, not Amana. After 4 years the unit has been leaking and dying. I just can't continue to recommend Gladstone. read more

I recently bought a house with a Goodman / Amana furnace A/C. I thought I needed a reusable filter frame, but Mike set me straight. He recommended that I instead replace my return air grilles with filtered versions. So while he hasn't done any business with me yet, I was impressed with his long-term style of customer service, and he now has a new customer! read more

Had a great experience with Gladstone! Used the team for a high efficiency upgraded AC and new furnace. Mike and Marcos are experienced technicians that do amazing work at a fair price. I highly recommend Gladstone for any of your heating or AC needs. read more

I needed to replace my 15 yr gas furnace and install a new AC system + ducting. I researched for 3 months and had gotten somewhere around 8 quotes. Gladstone was not the cheapest but it was far from the most expensive ones. Mike and his crew were very professional and on time. I unfortunately (for contractors) am one of those home owners that will constantly check how well the work is done and they measured up to my standards. The crew always made sure to protect the home with plastic, blankets from scratching your floors or walls. They cleaned up at the end of each day. At the end of day 1, I went around and check all of the way they done and see if there was anything missing. I went into the attic, crawled to where the AC line exits the attic to the outside where the condenser was, I noticed the holes on the walls were not sealed. I made a mental note to ask them about it the next day. By the time I asked them, they had already sealed it up. Because of this, I feel like they did not take any shortcuts or miss the small things. It's been about 5 months with the system and everything has been great. The heater and AC works well and has kept my family comfortable! read more

Mike and his team were excellent. This was a furnace replacement. Compared to other over - priced and over - hyped local HVAC companies - Mike was fantastic. His costs were much more in line with national averages and their installation, service, communication were seamless. I would highly recommend going with Gladstone compared to some of the other big and over priced HVAC companies in San Diego. read more

My name is Ida lekaunas I live in Alpine, I called GLADSTONE for an estimate on a Whole House Fan. Mike was at my house within a couple of days. I have lived in my home for 25 years, I asked Mike if he would give me an estimate on A/C. I was impressed with Mike's professionalism, friendly, honest and to the point. Mike gave me a very reasonable estimate for A/C & Whole House Fan. I had so many questions and he answered them all and with a smile on his face. He and his crew where always on time, payed attention to detail. I am so greatfull! I would highly recommend Gladstone....note: after everything was completed, mike sent crew member Marco the next day to do extra sealing, because he saw a rodent trap, that is what I call a great company. Thank you Mike. Ida lekaunas 8/19/2023 read more

I am SO GLAD (see what I did there) that I contracted Gladstone Heating & AC replace my entire HVAC system in my two-story house. Our old system was original to our early 80s home, and was all but useless. Mike Gladstone, the owner, responded to my request for an estimate within minutes and, luckily, was able to come to our house the next day. He was the first of 3 estimates, and he gave me a more than reasonable price for what I needed. He answered all my questions and provided me with recommendations that were right for me, not sales-y or overblown. Within a week we had them contracted. Once we confirmed, we had our entire new system in a week later! Mike's team, Eric, Noel, and Marco, were unbelievable to work with. They clearly enjoy working together, and are incredibly professional, considerate, and thoughtful in your home. They answered any questions we had and worked with us to move our three senior dogs (who don't do well with disruptions to their routine) around the home and outside for their needs. They were done in 2 days. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. If you have any heating, AC, or HVAC needs, you should really consider Gladstone Heating & AC. read more

We used Gladstone to install AC in our 100 year old home which previously didn't have AC installed, it's been a dream to finally have AC for the hot SD summers. They also replaced our old heating system which had stopped working entirely. Gladstone was prompt, professional, and did a wonderful job on everything they did for us. I've been most impressed with how quickly they responded to helping troubleshoot and replace the Nest and coordinate the warranty directly with Nest when it wasn't working as it should. I text with them directly and they've been so quick to respond and help. I now recommend them to everyone looking to install AC or heat. read more

We had a 25-year-old air conditioner outdoor unit that went out during the worst part of the summer heat. Mike responded immediately the night I made the inquiry through Yelp. He showed up the next day. We needed an entirely new system with a new furnace and ductwork in the attic (our house is 60 years old). Mike seemed trustworthy (he is), but I wanted a second opinion. I got two more quotes, and they all corroborated that we needed an entirely new system, but their quotes were higher, and I didn't get the same sense of transparency that I had when Mike ran me through things. Mike and Marco were great. You can tell Mike takes pride in what he does, and he is an expert in this stuff. They kept the house clean when they removed everything. They were communicative and responsive. They walked me through the Nest app setup, and everything is working great. One final note. I woke up this morning and went out back to my garden by the new AC unit. I had a nuclear meltdown when I saw mud splattered all over the house and the new AC unit. I screamed at my wife and growled like a bear when my toddler wanted to come outside to see what was causing daddy to lose his ish. I thought a pipe had burst in our irrigation, but I couldn't find anything. I was supposed to drive my kids out to Ramona for their childcare. I screamed at my wife, "I can't take them! I need to figure this out!!!" My daughter started crying, and my infant son started and was about to weep as I slammed the door to head back into the garden, leaving my poor wife with two kids and a 90-minute round trip drive in the middle of her workday. I frantically called Mike as of course I wanted to blame someone for this disaster. He answered the phone, and I wasn't able to explain the situation very well. He said, "send me a picture so I can see what's going on." I didn't have time. I was in total survival mode. I started digging frantically to try to find the busted pipe. I couldn't find anything. I was on the verge of rage crying and trying to undo the very fabric of the universe when I heard someone outside my gate. It was Mike. I was no longer alone in this radically unjust universe. He came into the backyard and started looking around. For a minute he was confused too. We were trying to figure out what was going on. I was staring at the bog in my garden when I noticed Mike looking over the fence. He said, "Hey man, I think your neighbor's sprinkler pipe is broken." I climbed my daughter's red and blue plastic slide to peer over the fence, and sure enough, a tube had disconnected, and the water had been pumping over the fence into our yard causing the mud to go all over everything and creating the fire swamp in my garden. My joy was so great I almost started weeping. It wasn't a broken pipe in my yard. It wasn't Mike's fault. We now had a solution to this most difficult of problems. Mike grabbed our hose and showed me how to clean off the outdoor unit in situations like these. The mud was not a problem for the unit. He washed the mud off our house, told me to reach out if I needed anything in the future, and then walked out of the backyard like an angel who has accomplished his work on Earth. It was almost hard to look directly at his back. It seemed to be shining in the San Diego sun as he walked away. I have some pretty serious work to do to save my marriage, but had Mike not shown up, I would have been divorced by lunchtime. I can't recommend Gladstone highly enough. Customer service is not the word for it. Customer salvation more like it. Thanks Mike. Appreciate ya. read more

I needed to replace a 30 year old gas furnace. I talked to several companies but part of the problem was the reps were salesman and several times told me things that were problematic. One of them recommended a design feature that could have led to carbon monoxide problems. Another recommended a giant fresh air return grill that would have had blank wall space behind it. When Mike came, I knew I was talking to someone who had expert knowledge and I felt confident in his ability to both advise and install. So far the furnace has been running well and several balance and circulation problems are much improved. In retrospect I might have gone with a quieter model/brand, but it works just fine and I would do it again. read more

Mike gave us a good estimate on an HVAC replacement. He was responsive, punctual, and informative.

Gladstone is a terrific company. Mike, the owner, was prompt for our scheduled time to complete an estimate. He was patient with my endless questions about a new HVAC system and extremely knowledgeable. The estimate can back at a price lower than his competitors with the same or better equipment. I have no hesitation in recommending this company read more

I had air conditioning installed and after four bids, they had the best price, with high ratings on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau. The staff was courteous, professional, on-time, on-budget and clean-cut. No surprises. They left the place clean when they finished. The owner was on-site both days. I did this in fall, because they are very busy during the hotter months. I am all about the small business owner, without the middle man. This is a quality company. I was not home while they were working and I felt comfortable with their staff being in my home. I told Mike, the owner, that is is refreshing to do business with the type of people who you would like to invite over for Thanksgiving. read more

I love companies that give referrals even if they don't do the job. It shows integrity. Mike was super friendly when I called and gave me the 411 on what is fair charges for having someone come to fix an central AC capacitor ($130-150), and texted me one of his contact's info right away. He even suggested that I text back photos to help the process and get a more specific quote. That's just excellent service if you're not even getting the business for yourself. It's a great learning experience because last time someone charged me $400. So it's nice to know there are some decent professionals in this industry who aren't trying to get over on customers. read more

Mike is so knowledgeable and kind! I was referred to this company by a friend (who had a bunch of people come out for her issue, and Gladstone was the best by far), and Mike spent 20 minutes on the phone with me discussing my issue EVEN though his company didn't do the type of work I needed. He set me up with a understanding of what may need to be done, and why, then offered to refer me to someone he knows and trusts who does that type of work. I will 100% come to him when it's time to change out my heating and A/C system! Kind, honest people are hard to come by, but Mike and Gladstone are one of the good ones! Also, being a woman, contractors sometimes treat me like an idiot, but I never got that vibe from Mike--not even for a second. So especially if you're a woman who has trouble being treated with respect by other companies, I highly recommend this team. read more

We had Mike replace our heating system 6 years ago. It worked great with no problems. Recently, we decided to add AC. We contacted Mike and received a very competitive quote. As expected, Mike was professional and efficient. He responded immediately to all of my questions and requests. His crew, Marco, Noel and Eric were reliable and effective. Marco explained everything we needed to know. He even helped us fix a light fixture for an unrelated job! We highly recommend Mike for your HVAC needs. read more

5 solid stars all the way. I got 3 quotes and their quote was a little cheaper than the others and they had good reviews. I got a new AC, furnace and ducting. Form the start the owner Mike was extremely thorough, informative, friendly and professional. The installers were professional and friendly and kept everything very clean while working. They did a great job. Overall I am extremely happy I chose them for the work. read more

We had our central heat and air completely replaced by Gladstone. They were easy to work with and did great job. We got three bids and Gladstone came in with one of the lower prices. We were so happy with their work we had them install a mini split in our garage and have referred them to several friends. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this company and their employees! We just had them replace our heating/ac and they were great! They were fast, clean, attentive to our requests and went over and above with thoughtful additions to make it better for us in the future including adding an outlet and light in the under area of our house where the vents and equipment are located! Thanks to Noel, Marco and Erick who were amazing! read more

I own a property with two very old houses on it. When the 35 year old furnace failed in one of them, Mike came out and and gave me a great quote to not only replace the existing central heating, but also one to add on central AC. I chose the second option. A few days later, he and his crew showed up and tore the old system out, then put in the new system in a very difficult spot (attic with a narrow access opening) and created a pad for the AC external unit too. A few days later, the 59 year old furnace in the other house failed (as Murphy's Law predicted it would) and I called Mike, who came out again in a few days and was able to replace it with a new furnace in one day (no upgrade to AC on that unit). I cannot be happier with the professionalism and skill that Mike, Marco, and the others displayed during all the requisite work. They charged a competitive price but had a can-do attitude when a few obstacles cropped up, which they steamrollered over. If I ever decide to up the second house to AC, I will be calling on them to do the work, no question at all. read more

Gladstone Heating and Air Condition understands customer services! From beginning to end, their communication and professionalism was second to none. In addition, they are very competitive on price. They are extremely easy to work with and followed through on everything promised. Pick up the phone and give Mike G. a call. You will not be disappointed. read more

I wanted to write a review because of the excellent advice Mike gave me on the phone about my Google Next. Although he was not able to actually send someone out because they don't do maintenance work, he stayed on the phone with me and patiently answered all my questions, and referred me to someone that could. That is just great customer service and a decent individual. Thanks Mike!! read more

If you want it done right, the first time, with the utmost professionalism from bid to close, call Gladstone. In October 2015 I had a complete overhaul of my HVAC system. Mike and his team removed my huge, old, 1970s furnace from my tiny attic. And that was the easy part! The crawl space up there is not even high enough for a 5'4" person (me) to stand up. My house had never had A/C so we needed all new ducting and vents; getting into the tiny space was nothing short or a miracle and Mike's team handled it...even when I asked for a vent in my Master Bathroom, which was seemingly impossible at first glance. He had to deal with the city who gave him all sorts of issues, but he handled everything. 18 months later (March 2017) we wanted to install a ductless unit in our Granny Flat. Mike was in and out in half a day and it looks amazing! I cannot say enough great things about Mike, his team, his business, his prices, and his professionalism. I would never call anyone else! p.s. I used HERO. I would not have been able to do this work on my home without the HERO program, so I am thrilled that Gladstone is a contractor with HERO. read more

We are very happy with the work and treatment we received from Mike and his team. Mike provided us with a complete and fair estimate. He answered all of our questions, explained the system and completed the installation in a timely manner. The team he brought with him were professional, courteous, clean cut- and just really nice guys. We highly recommend Mike and his team. read more

Hired Steve for a small Job. He was punctual, respectful and was reasonably priced. I recommend Gladstone for future AC and heat jobs.

It has been two years since Mike and his crew came to our home and set up our central air (and heating). As I write this review on a hot, muggy June evening, I am so grateful and relieved that I let my wife talk me into this investment. Looking back, Mike and his guys exhibited top-notch professionalism, courtesy, and communication. They patiently answered all of my questions and presented excellent cost-saving options, without ever being pushy. This is a local option that I would strongly encourage anyone in the market to consider. read more

Gladstone heating and air is a great company to work with. They got back to me right away and informed me of my ac options. Will definitely use them again. read more
