My A/C wasn't cooling down very well so I called /texted to make an appointment to have it checked Matthew came out and worked on it for a couple hours checking it it came down to it just needed to be cleaned im so grateful he found the problem and it was an easy fix read more

I highly recommend Ideal Air, Matthew, was great in explaining everything that was going on with my AC unit and very pleasant to work with and I can trust this company. read more

We've been using Ideal for multiple years now and will continue to recommend them to anyone needing these types of services. They've maintained our current unit well and have helped us to understand what it needs to keep going for many more years rather than treating it as disposable or pushing us to replace it. They did a big attic insulation project for us a few years ago that has completely changed our comfort in our 1950s home, 1000% worth it. They gave us lots of good advice and options for that project including correcting related/unrelated deficiencies from the prior installers. We've continued wth their plan for maintenance which has definitely been a good value for us. Matthew came out for our regular unit check this month and noted several issues that we didn't expect, but was able to address them same day very fairly, honestly, transparently. I appreciate his clear explanations of the deficiencies and the work done (with pictures!) so I don't have to get up on the roof too. It's a huge relief knowing our unit is now in good working order and not bound to fail on us in August. read more

Our A/C units are 29 years old and are starting to go out. As a result I inquired with a few HVAC companies to get quotes on a replacement of two units. Alex (owner) was incredible to work with. He came out to our property and did a full evaluation. He caught things that no one else did. One thing that stood out to me was his transparency and honesty around the setup of our systems. We have old suction lines and liquid lines that are not compatible with the new Trane units. He has a solution for that but he was the only one that mentioned this. Some of the other installers that I inquired from also quoted us on the exact same Trane unit and failed to bring this up. In fact, the other companies were going to install a Trane unit on old lines, which would cause early compressor failure and voided the warranty through Trane due to the units being installed on the wrong sized lines in the first place (verified this with Trane). Alex was patient with me through all of my questions, provided examples of what it would look like to replace the lines, and was amazing to work with. Even though we ended up going with a company that made units compatible with our old lines, I am forever grateful to Alex and Ideal Air Conditioning for saving us from dumping a bunch of money to potentially have a premature failure down the road. If replacing the lines was not mandatory, we would have chosen Ideal Air Conditioning in a heartbeat. We plan to use them in the future for all of our HVAC maintenance! read more

My husband and I first heard of Ideal A/C & Installation at the Phoenix Home Show in January when we stopped by their booth. We recently purchased a home in Phoenix and were aware that we should have our A/C units serviced in the winter. We had a good feeling from our chat with them, and booked a maintenance call. Matt serviced our A/C units and showed us the condition things were in. As new homeowners, we were unaware of how good or bad the units were, and Matt helped us see we could be running them more efficiently and safely if he made some repairs after servicing. We went ahead with the recommended fixes, and he made all the repairs while he was here. He showed us that he really cares about his customers, and took good care of us when we had a lot of questions we needed help with. A few weeks later, Brian came over to perform a home energy audit and brought to our attention some additional issues that were causing us to leak energy and money. Although it's hard to accept that there's a lot of deferred maintenance we have to spend money on, we trust the team from Ideal and appreciate their review of our home. My father was a very successful commercial HVAC salesman in another state, and I grew up in the world of air conditioner talk and spent a lot of time at his company. The team at Ideal made me feel comfortable, like I felt with my dad's employer. I recommend Ideal - Elaine, Matt and Brian are the ones we worked with and I love that I can really trust them. read more

Our AC went down in the middle of a scorching Phoeix heat wave, Ideal Air Conditioning answered our call of distress after hours. Our service tech, Robert, showed up like a valiant knight and worked hard to diagnose the issue. We have an old unit and Robert went above and beyond to find an outdated part that was needed. He kept us updated every step of the way and showed us pics of the issue. I would highly recommend Ideal Air Conditioning for all your AC needs!!! read more

Matt came out and did our yearly cooling system inspection. We have been using Ideal for years and have always received great service. They are a company who hires employees with integrity. Matt has been out to my house before, and he always does an excellent and thorough job. He found a fan motor that was not operating correctly and told me my options, he also told me what he did to test it, and showed me photos of the issue. I am very pleased with the service I get from them, and I know you will be too. read more

We've used Ideal Air several times, and Matthew continues to impress us in every visit. He recently came out to service our AC, and as always, he was efficient, communicated everything clearly, and provided fair, honest pricing. It's hard to find a company that's both reliable and trustworthy, but Ideal Air has been consistently excellent. We truly appreciate Matthew's professionalism and highly recommend him and the entire Ideal Air team for any HVAC needs! read more

David C. Was our rep. He was awesome very personable and good attitude. He was a fast worker and we would definitely recommend him. He saved the day read more

I had a great experience with this air conditioning company. My AC went out and it was extremely hot inside my house, being the middle of June in Arizona. I was able to get a technician named Robert out to my house the next day, and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. It turned out that my unit was not able to be repaired, so I was able to quickly get financing to buy a new unit. They came out the very next day to install it. Cristian and his crew were very professional, and I'm very pleased with the job they did. I highly recommend this company. read more

I've been an Ideal Energy customer since 2018. They upgraded the ductwork and attic insulation after I first moved into my house and have been my go-to for HVAC service ever since. I have the service plan so they come to check on the system twice a year. Last night before going to bed I noticed I was much warmer than usual. Turns out the mid-tier unit that came with the house was malfunctioning. I texted the team before going to bed at 10:30pm and had a text waiting for me when I woke up at 5:56am. Matthew and Robert (in training) were at my house by 7:15 this morning. Matthew and Robert had it diagnosed after observation and several questions from me. After getting their recommendation, I authorized them moving forward to fix the problem. They pulled away at 8:53am while my family and I basked in the sweet, cool joy of a functioning AC unit. I appreciate the service plan and how quickly this issue was resolved. Highly recommend this company for top notch quality work, customer service, problem solving, and responsiveness. read more

David was communicative, honest and quick with service. Second time I've used Ideal Air and I'll continue.

I made it very clear to them that the home was a rental and I was going to pay for the inspection of the duct work. Went back and forth starting on Friday. I was told someone from the correct team would be reaching out to me as I did provide my email address and phone number. How do they respond on Tuesday, Yelp and not the email address I provided. I am not asking them or any of the other businesses that responded to do any work. Simply inspect and provide photos. The realtor agreed to this. Based on the whole experience, this company does not understand communication and comprehension of that communication. I declined other businesses based on the initial interaction with them. A decision I am now regretting. If a business can't get the steps correct from the start, what can they get correct? First impressions need to be followed up with consistency. No phone call or email though they requested the information. I did not trust the reviews given as one never should. Live and learn. I won't use yelp again for assistance as they offered a bunch of no name businesses looking for business. The responses were all AI responses and the reviews are people that are friends, relatives and so on. Maybe a few true reviews but you have to go by instinct. Update - I would not use this company. One of the "owners" called me and tried to convince me of the why's and what nots that took place. Said she would call me back after taking her dog to the vet. If you look at my social media, I am all about the animals. Several hours later, no call and to find Elena has no HVACR experience. I was played the fool but not moving forward. Elaine and Elena are one in the same. I will go with a company with real reviews by real customers and take it from there. read more

Matt did a great job diagnosing the problem, very friendly and personable. Had a new unit installed and the guys did a great job! Very happy with it. read more

I contracted with Ideal to replace my 19 year old system that was failing. Every aspect of the process was handled professionally and efficiently. Cristian, Daniel and Tony, the installation team, were great. They arrived on time, were very professional and very neat. There was no evidence that they were here post installation. Very impressive. I've dealt with many HVAC companies in the Valley and hands down Ideal was the best experience yet. I highly recommend Ideal. read more

My mother's HVAC system stopped blowing warm air this chilly morning. We contacted Ideal Air, and they sent Matthew to check it out. He discovered some leaks and faulty valves that needed replacing. Things that are above my pay grade and intelligence. All I know is that it was working when he was done, and the repair costs were manageable. Matthew was professional, efficient, and my mom is back in her happy place and comfortable. read more

First time with Ideal A/C. CJ Poole was amazing. Was able to explain things in detail and gave a lot of advice for helping with my A/C systems longevity. He was very knowledgeable and just a really nice person. read more

When I tell you that these guys are fast, I really mean like lightning fast! They started at 6:30 am and the work was completed before noon! New duct work, new vents, new rooftop a/c unit, new thermostat! Our unit is working extremely well and is very quiet! Cristian Zamora and his crew were extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They answered so many questions for us! read more

These guy's are great and knowledgeable. Solved a programming problem easily after two other companies tried to sell me a new unit. David was so kind and thourough when he came and did maintenance. He even cleaned the outside unit. No other company does that as part of maintenance. Thank you David! read more

It is with great pleasure that I write this review. CJ from IDEAL AIR CONDITIONING & INSULATION was at my home in Mesa, AZ on May 6,2026 to solve our cooling problem downstairs. He was very punctual, patient, professional, very honest and extremely knowledgeable. He completed the entire trouble shooting, diagnosis & repair, (Furnace Blower wheel and Blower motor) replacement expeditiously and at a fraction of the cost from other companies- a huge savings for us and most importantly, our unit is working perfectly!!. He also offered us a very affordable ongoing maintenance package. We have lived at our home for 12 yrs as first owner, several companies have done AC maintenance and repair jobs at our home with disappointing results. IDEAL AIR-CONDITIONING is truly "ideal" from the front desk dispatch staff to the very competent technician on the job site, it was a seamless and flawless experience!. I wholeheartedly recommend IDEAL AIR CONDITIONING & INSULATION for anyone in the valley with HVAC issues who needs a highly reputable company. Thank you "IDEAL AIR" read more

The initial experience was outstanding! I had searched long and hard for a solution to my upstairs office as it was getting so hot. Ideal Air came out and gave me a quote for a mini-split AC unit. We discussed pricing and they were able to come out quickly to do the work. While they were there, they found a way to reduce the cost of the work. The work was completed, and then they asked for payment. Weeks went by with no contact and then one day they reached out requesting more money. It was never explained that everything wasn't paid in full when they came out and did the work and were now asking for $800 more. It wasn't so much that they were asking for more money (which once it was broken down, it made sense), it was their attitude and how quick they were to sending to me collections. They claimed they phoned me but I never received any calls. I told them I didn't believe I owed more money and then one day I received a notice of cancellations. It also was sent with a notice to reply by a specific date that already passed so essentially they sent me a notice to pay by a date that had already passed. I liked them at first, but wouldn't wish this company on anyone now. Side note. The crew that came out and did the work were great guys! Office admin TERRIBLE. Buyer Beware. read more

Matthew was an outstanding technician, who came in, diagnosed, remedied the situation with a quickness. He answered all my questions and concerns. Plus, showed me ( in a lack of a better term) a "good bang for my buck". If I come across anyone else that is in need of A/C servicing, I will truly recommend them to you. Thank you for a job well done! read more

Matthew and Robert came today for our annual AC tuneup. I received a call and a text to let me know they were en route. They were able to address any questions I had and make suggestions on upgrades and other services available. I would recommend Ideal Air because of their competitive pricing and professional technicians. read more

Matthew was awesome! Very professional and very nice. Explained what happened and what he'll do

I requested a maintenence check on our unit. Nixaelen was the technician. I received details on when she would arrive. She was on time, friendly, efficient and took the time to explain everything she found. She explained how things could be improved and I was provided estimates for the additional work if I wanted to have it done. No hard sell on those from the tech or the company, which I appreciated. Would definitely use them again. read more

Great service, nice people. CJ was my tech. He found problems that needed immediate attention.

Last year I replaced my home's A/C and had all the ductwork redone. Ideal Air was one of the bids I received for the work, and they were the outstanding choice for me, both in terms of price and their proposal. Ideal Air did a great job creating and executing the redesign of my home's heating and cooling system. I'm so glad I did! I don't hear my son laughing with his online friends in the middle of the night any more nor does he hear me, plus the temperature across the entire house is more even now. Just recently I had the system serviced (twice a year) by a great tech, David Clore. He was so helpful explaining exactly what he did and saw and any steps I needed to take before my next service in August. read more

David came out this week and did our regular servicing. He was super detailed and found some issues that would've caused us problems in a few months in the summer. I loved how he provided photos of my unit so I had peace of mind that everything that needed to be addressed was addressed. I've used these guys for years, fantastic service! read more

Great communication and excellent service! Thanks to David for the recent maintenance and the whole team from scheduling, service and maintenance is always professional and wonderful to work with. read more

Since we returned from a long trip, we noticed our AC unit was somehow losing its connecting to the thermostat and temps would rise dramatically. Long story short, they sent their best 'problem solver' and while it took an entire day to figure out the odd wiring issue and a failing controller board for the zoning device, they did figure it out. They ordered the parts, which arrived in just a few days, and everything is working beautifully now. We really appreciate their attention to detail - and especially Daniel M, as he solved a super complicated problem for us!!! read more

Owner Alex is extremely unprofessional and engages in unethical business practice to gaslight customers; seeking out customers to take advantage of. Shoddy workmanship and absolutely does not stand behind their work. Never honored the maintenance commitments of my purchase. Refused to address issues related to the poor quality installation which is falling apart after less than 3 years. Never accepted responsibility for installation issues from the start but instead blamed the customer. Characterized me as difficult for expecting professional installation and honoring the purchase contract. A $18,000 contract! And the gaslighting/DISRESPECT. Not sure how this company has such high reviews. Maybe he provides decent service to a certain kind of customer rather than treating all customers in a respectful and professional manner assuring all have a good experience. read more

Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation - I was told that the electrical is incorrect for the type of system Ideal installed. Gaslight response. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The service inspector was polite and thorough. Recommendations were reasonable and appreciated.

I had a new A/C installed by ideal. They sent over two outstanding installers Eric Arreola & Brando Gonzalez. They were very professional and used a lot of care installing the new unit. Before they departed they made sure all the operations of the unit were in order . Awesome techs read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation is hands down one of the BEST small businesses I've ever had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of phenomenal. Elaine and Dainiel M. were absolute rockstars. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but they genuinely care about their customers. They took their time walking me through every step of the process, answering all my questions with patience and transparency. You can tell right away that this isn't just a job for them they take real pride in the quality of their work. What stood out the most was how thorough they were. They didn't just breeze through the job to get it done; they made sure every detail was handled with precision and care. They treated my small business like it was their own, and that level of respect and dedication is so rare these days. You don't find service like this often. Ideal Air is the kind of business you want in your corner honest, hardworking, and deeply committed to doing things right the first time. I can't recommend them enough. Seriously, if you need HVAC or insulation work done, don't even think twice. Call Ideal Air. Elaine and Dainiel will take amazing care of you! read more

Been a very satisfied customer for many years. Professional, efficient, knowledgeable staff and top quality service. Matt Burden has been our tech for the past few years and is stellar. We've used Ideal for new installs, upgrades , general equipment service and all have been great. read more

Unfortunately our 16 year old air conditioner units were approaching the end of life despite several recent summer repairs, and the south facing rooms were extremely hot during the summer despite window shades. After obtaining a few insulation evaluations it was clear the home also could use more insulation due to contraction of old attic cellulose, plus new a/c units. Although we have had great service from other air conditioner companies we decided to go with Ideal based on the listing on the manufacturer's web site of local installation companies trained and certified for installation of our brand, plus their experience with insulation, and excellent reviews. We contacted Ideal and Ryan came out for a site visit, spent a lot of time answering questions, did not appear rushed, provided quotes including rebate discounts for several options and followed up with us. We decided to opt for the new a/c system and bringing our insulation to meet the R38 standard. Cristian Z and his excellent team removed the old units and installed the new heat pumps with environmentally friendly refrigerant, and installed new attic exchangers, over two days. Cellulose insulation was added on a third day. As mentioned in other reviews, the cost was expensive, especially because of the units we chose, but the work was extremely professional done by an obviously experienced and personable team who used modern equipment to protect the outside units from the extreme sunshine, heat and surge protection. They made necessary changes to the circuit box going over the changes at the end. Cristian took time to go over management of the units using our thermostats. It's a fact of life that in order to live in the Phoenix area good air conditioning and insulation are needed in the summers. My experience with Ideal for installation of new air conditioning units, and insulation, was excellent supporting the numerous other five star reviews. Obviously each situation will vary depending on budget and needs, but if your a/c is in need of replacement the team from Ideal that installed our new higher tech units demonstrated why they have such great reviews and are listed as recommended installers by our manufacturer. I highly recommend Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation. read more

5 Stars to David Coyle. He was very professional throughout the maintenance work on my Bosch heat pump and I finally understand Merv ratings and filter change frequency. Dave then earned extra credit by retrieving my dog after he escaped during a Fed Ex delivery. Thanks, Dave I hope to see you again. read more

Ideal Air Conditioning is very professional, efficient, knowledgeable and great service. Nixaelen was my technician. She came over for a routine check of my air conditioner. She was on time, very friendly and knowledgeable. She did a thorough inspection and found problems with my air conditioner, which was no doubt, due to its age. She was able to explain what the system needed in terms I could understand and was very thorough. Thank you very much for your and your staff's efficiency. Received the estimate and pictures by email, in no time at all. Great work. Yes! I would refer your business to others! read more

David did a great job installing my soft start system. Fast and efficient. Great customer service!

Your first contact is likely with Elaine @ the office: friendly, courteous and helpful :-) So are their techs: Matt and Nixa have both been to my home "to take care of business"; which they did with professional efficiency. I would strongly recommend IDEAL AIR for your HVAC installation and/or maintenance needs. My unit is now equipped with a new battery and Inrush Kit which reduces the amount of time it takes my 10 year-old Trane AC to start...Cool! :-) read more
