I think I found my new HVAC company in the South Bay. Bill responded to my phone call one day as the heater in my home was not working after the old Thermostat failed. We replaced it with a Google Nest thermostat but the problem persisted. Bill came by, inspected it, and let us know the motherboard had failed. There was no upselling and he quoted a fair price but also mentioned that due to the age of the unit, it might be a little tough to come by the parts. Sure enough, he was able to locate the part, and I gave approval to proceed. One week later he texted me to let me know the part was in his possession and if I was free that same day. He and his team came by, ran tests, even noticed that the Google thermostat was wired incorrectly, set it back properly, and then left after the system was indeed running correctly and heat was being generated. His company does accept Zelle payments and he and his team were friendly and I appreciated that they wore booties around their shoes and kept the work area clean while working and as they were leaving. If I have any further concerns in the future, Hammer HVAC is my go-to. read more

Best service. We had several air conditioning companies out. None of which could fix the problem nor did they know what the issue was. This company assessed and fixed our "thermal lockout" problem within 20 mins. Very knowledgeable. read more

I can't say enough good things about Bill and his team. They provide excellent and friendly service at a fair price. My mom's heat went out, I called Bill, he was able to come out and fix the unit right away. My mom is elderly and he was super friendly and showed her how to use the system. Thank you, Bill! read more

Excellent work ethic. Answered the phone, returned my calls, perfect work, very respectful of my home, fair and honest pricing. I am so happy to have a great A/C company now. read more

Met with Bill Hammer, Owner, of Hammer Heating and Air Conditioning. He came when he said he would. Couldn't have been more professional and honest. (key word honest). Highly recommend. Another company said I may need a new furnace. He said no. He further suggested calling the Gas Company as they will come out for free and do a free inspection. read more

We recently received service from Bil Hamner for problems with our air conditioning unit. He was prompt and efficient. Mr. Hammer isolated the problem and repaired it quickly. His communication was excellent about timing and availability for repair. We feel his service was more than reasonable and pricing very fair. We highly recommend his business. read more

Bill Hammer is a superb business owner. His company installed the HVAC units in the new construction townhomes within our neighborhood a couple years ago. We had an issue with our furnace where the burner box became faulty and prevented the heater from functioning properly. Bill was proactive about diagnosing the issue when I first contacted him. He took the initiative to contact the manufacturer and shortly obtained a new burner box (which was fortunately covered under warranty). Within a week, Bill returned and installed the new part and our furnace was back up and running. Really appreciate his customer service and how courteous and considerate he is. Before entering our home, he was prepared with shoe covers and a face mask. If we ever have HVAC issues in the future, we'll definitely be going with Hammer Heating! read more

I will have to update this review after I actually use my heater a few times, but so far 5 stars. The team ran on time, cleaned up after themselves, the heater works, and all went smooth. I was promised a new control panel, but it's the same old one. I think this was overlooked, and I didn't mention it since the old one works just fine. Bill seems very friendly and is very communicative (so important in a service based business). So far 5 stars =) read more

We installed a new heating furnace in our attic to replace an old one that stopped working. We had three contractors come out to give us quotes and Bill by far was the best option. He established a time to come to the installation and arrived promptly with a team of people ready to work. The installation for that heating took approximately six hours and when the team is finished they cleaned up everything and left the house cleaner than it was when they arrived. They set up protective paper and mats on the floor and made sure to not damage anything during the installation. There was a problem with my nest thermostat (not his fault) and Bill came back a few days later to make a slight adjustment and all is working properly. We are looking forward to having him come out later this year to do an estimate for air-conditioning installation. He was very friendly and I would definitely recommend him to do any work in your house very professional top-notch. read more

We replaced our furnace recently as a part of the big renovation. Bill is always so friendly and professional, answering any questions and concerns that we have with great honesty, no run-arounds and no up-sells. His pricing was fair and detailed, and his crew was very efficient in completing the job. Any time I have any questions, I just shoot Bill a text message and he always responds promptly and stop by when needed. It's so great having such a wonderful family business in the area that can drop by quickly when you need them. I'll be using them for many years to come. Thanks! read more

Bill and his team are top notch! I ended up getting 4 bids from highly rated companies on Yelp and Google reviews. Hammer Heating & Air stood out since they were local and had some of the best reviews in the area. Bill came out to inspect the house and review my options with me. He was on time, did not try to up sell me, answered all questions and his quote was very competitive. I am happy I choose to go with Hammer Heating and AC. Bill and his team were on time, polite, knowledgable and the communication was great. Bill was on site every day to make sure everything went perfectly. read more

The bottom line: Bill Hammer gives you options, answers questions, says what he will do, and then does it. No surprises, no arguments, straight up excellent service and delivery with excellent communication. A completely refreshing experience. We arrived home after a winter vacation to find an ice cold house and that our 35+ year old furnace was DOA. After some minor attempts to resuscitate, we called Hammer Heating and Air Conditioning, leaving a message with our predicament. Bill Hammer, the owner, called back that afternoon and again at what was clearly the end of his work day and agreed to swing by the next day to see what could be done. The next morning he gave us a call and asked if he could drop by in about an hour...which he did. He quickly assessed the situation and gave us two options: repair or replace. He was up front about the risks of either approach as well as the costs. He made recommendations regarding limited improvements possible with the existing ducting and thermostat location. Later that night he emailed a proposal. The next day (a weekend) we reviewed the proposal and did our own research. Bill answered our email questions thoroughly and promptly over the weekend and left us feeling well informed and prepared to make the final decision. We chose to replace the old furnace and qualified our purchase model based on our own research and Bill's competent advice. The following Monday, Bill and his crew arrived at the agreed time and removed the old furnace and thoroughly cleaned the area of old insulation and debris in preparation for installation of the new furnace the next day. The next day, Bill and his crew again arrived on time and installed the new furnace. Part of our agreed plan was to relocate the thermostat to address prior inefficiencies in heat distribution as well as support future installation of AC. Bill and his crew were professional, clean, polite, and did an excellent job in the installation of new insulation and exhaust ducting. They left the installation location cleaner than it was prior to the installation. We are now enjoying our new furnace during these chill days of winter. Thank you Bill Hammer and your team. read more

This company did a great job assessing our furnace, trying to repair it and then explaining the issues to my insurance company. Everyone that came to work on it was polite and masked which made us feel more comfortable. In the end, we ended up having to replace our furnace and we took the opportunity to install air at the same time. Bill Hammer explained everything in detail to us, kept us informed on every step and kept his commitments. The job took about 3 days altogether. It was a great experience, thank you Bill and team read more

First two years ago my furnace starting to act up. I searched internet and selected Bill Hammer because he is local North Redondo Beach and reviews were fantastic. All good reviews are totally correct. Bill came promptly and he quickly fixed my Furnace. However he told me I should replace because it is going to die soon. Well he was right, but I waited. It died this past week and Bill and his crew came replaced Furnace and all Ducts. When bill says he will be there to work, he is always on time. He let's you know all through the work what is going on. He is a true professional and his crew as well. He sticks to his quote of the work. You can trust Bill to do a great job. I highly recommend Mr. Hammer. Thank you Bill Hammer. 12/10/2020 read more

We had an older furnace, and some of our rooms weren't getting sufficient heating. In addition, we wanted to get AC installed into the house. So we engaged 4 contractors and Bill came out on top. Bill and team delivered on everything they outlined. Went over timeline given furnace was larger and had to move some items, like gas line within the attic. Overall took 3.5 days, getting a new furnace, all new vents/pipes etc., along with new AC. Bill was very responsive, thorough and clean, and helped explain steps. Overall would highly recommend him. read more

We recently contacted with Hammer for our condo in the Manhattan Beach Village. I'll cut to the chase. Bill was quick, efficient, reliable and professional. His price was fair and the work was excellent. I highly recommend Hammer Heating and Air read more

This is a great family business. Bill, his son, and the rest of his crew were great to work with and I got the system I needed based on home size and comfort needs. Bill was honest and didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. He took the time to show and explain everything as things were installed and in place. We replaced an old furnace, duct work, added a new duct for a large kitchen+living with vaulted ceilings, and placed the AC compressor outside on our balcony. Everything was done to code and passed city inspection. Highly recommend Bill Hammer! read more

Bill (the owner) came within 15 minutes after calling him and quickly identified issue with our furnance motor and fixed it on the spot. He had a replacement part in his truck. So, he fixed the issue within 20 minutes and great service and the cost was super genuine. read more

These guys are the best! We recently had some problems with our a/c unit and it was during a heat wave. We looked on the neighborhood app NextDoor, saw the great reviews, and decided to give them a call. We're glad we did! Bill, the owner, called back promptly and even though he was swamped with other service calls, he came by our house later that day to diagnose the problem. He ordered the part we needed and he and his team came back within a few days to repair our a/c unit. We've since called back and were helped by Danny with ordering and installing a complicated filter for our unit as well. He was helpful, always on time and really nice to deal with. Bill, Danny and and the whole team are professional, prompt, and do great work at a fair price. We're happy we can count on Hammer whenever we need them. If you're looking for an awesome heating and a/c repair company, give them a call. read more

Very pleased with the service from Bill and his crew. I shopped around and believe not only did I get the best price but also service to install a new ac and heating system in my home this past summer (2017). Bill is prompt and knowledgeable, no fuss. When my ac went down due to a loose wire after several months, he quickly came out and fixed it and replaced my filter at no cost. Very satisfied with my new ac system and their service! read more

When it came time to replace my aging AC system installed by a larger, non-local firm 19 years ago, I decided I wanted to go local. I gave 3 different vendors a shot, and Bill was far away the most knowledgable and professional of the bunch. His estimate covered every aspect of the install, and wasn't vague or misleading like some others. Not only that but he temporarily fixed my old AC AT NO COST so it could work during the heat wave until he had time to install my new system. The last company used to charge me $100s for the same repair. Finally, he thought enough of the project in advance to make sure it was a ONE DAY install. He always answers his phone or calls you back quickly. Because he was backed up with work and install was going to be a week later than he hoped (but not promised), he even gave me a significant discount without me asking. This is a man I hope to do business with for many, many years to come. P.S. This is not a "manufactured" review.....I am VERY particular about who I choose to favorably review, and Bill didn't even ASK me to do a Yelp review like many businesses do today. read more

The heater of my rental property stopped working. Based on the good reviews I saw on Yelp, I asked Hammer Plumbing to repair the heater and did not negotiate the price with Hammer Plumbing. After the job is done, I checked on the price of the part that was replaced. It turned out that Hammer Plumbing overcharged me 3X+ times. I do not feel that Hammer Plumbing is as good and honest as the reviews suggested. I think the good reviews were manufactured. read more

Great service to check out my furnace. Friendly, very responsive and neighborly. Looking forward to using them in the future.

I'll repeat what others have said about Bill: Bill is honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable and reliable. I found Bill here on Yelp. My forced air furnace went into a mode where it was continuously pumping out unheated air. The blower would not shut off no mater what I did, and no hot air would come out of the registers. Bill responded to my telephone call quickly. Luckily, he had an opening in his schedule on the next day. Bill arrived the next day as planned and completed the service call for a very reasonable price. By the time he left, the heater was working the way it normally worked. As an aside... I explained to Bill that my forced air furnace has never worked extremely well. Bill walked throughout my place checking duct work, register location, heat output - he gave me a number of suggestions including: - better registers (I could install or he could do it - my choice), - managing the thermostat in a slightly different way that would make it easier for the furnace to bring room temp up. He said - your furnace is not what I'd have recommended for a new installation (it's slightly under powered), but it's in now and it seems to be operating correctly. Why don't you see if you can optimize it's performance using my suggestions. If you're not happy afterwards, call me back and we'll talk about installing a unit with a little more heating capacity. No pressure, honest and informative. read more

Even though Danny and his colleague had a full day's schedule, they showed up on the same day to inspect the issue with my central heating unit's air ducts. Danny and his colleague then consulted me on the what need to be done and suggested the most cost effective way to address the problem. To save me money, Danny made extra trips to look for the parts that I needed. Danny and his team was able to complete all of the repairs in one day. Compared to some of the other heating/air professionals, I found Danny's team to be courteous, timely and experts in their field. Thank you. Jim read more

My wife and I were extremely impressed with Hammer Heating. Bill Hammer (the owner) came out very quickly for an initial central heating estimate, and gave us a very reasonable quote for central heat + removal of an original floor furnace. He was able to squeeze us in within a week, and his crew took 3 days for a single story home. Each day they laid down plastic to minimize the dust/dirt, and cleaned up at the end of each day. What impressed me was that Bill worked closely with the crew each day at our home, and discussed their daily progress with us. At the end of the job, he did a walk through, and made sure the heat was being distributed properly and that the water heater was turned back on. I also liked the fact that no payment was due until the job was done, and we were satisfied with the work. I would use him again if we ever put in an A/C, or need our heating serviced. read more

I've been using Hammer Heating & Air Conditioning for years and they never disappoint me. Our heater broke last night and called their main line today, and Bill was over within an hour. He quickly knew the problem and had it fixed within 30 minutes. The cost was reasonable too. I highly recommend them. read more

Professional, found the problem right away. This heater was installed by another company and after one year had the same problem, but for some reason that company and another did not find the problem and would install a part, the heater would work and then in a year it did it again. the old company came out again and said my new heater was not sufficiently circulating the air, so he needed to install a vacuum control module on furnace and a new vent system was also replaced. So now Hammer installed a new control board that showed that it was over heating and when they were here the heater went on, but after they left it went off again, but I expressed I wanted him to order a new board, which he did and called me to let me know when he would receive it, the cost and when he could install it and he was here the day he said he would be. read more
