Three years ago, I wrote a very negative review about Joshua, and at the time, I felt it was valid and deserved. When you make $12,000 investment, you hope that the experience will be flawless. But sometimes that's unrealistic. Life can throw out some pretty fast hard balls, and unfortunately, Joshua got hit with several at the same time when he was in the middle of our job. He has recently come back and rectified what wasn't done and has gone above and beyond making things right. I think you can feel confident that if things aren't right the first time for any reason he will do whatever it takes to fix it. I do think he's a man of integrity. read more

I will admit my last review was not nice. I won't apologize for it because it was due at the time. Im happy to say that things have changed. Josh is building his business back up and he's incredibly hardworking. He's kind and you can tell he legitimately wants to help. I can't think of a time in my life that a company not only responded to a negative review but actually did something about it to make it right. Josh did that. He went above and beyond to make sure the mini split he installed almost 8 years ago was running the best it ever has. In fact, he corrected some things that a previous company had done since he last worked on it. Definitely think he's well worth your business. read more

Joshua Young Air Conditioning - Mini Split Exterior - General Contractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've used Joshua two separate times at both of my homes. In Spring of 2020 he completely replaced my entire HVAC system, as well as most of the duct work on my previous home. In Fall of 2021 he relocated an HVAC unit and duct work at my current home. Both times he was a pleasure to work with I've dealt with so many types of contractors and specialists over the years, and there aren't any that I had a great experience with. Most ended with the job not being completed correctly, completely, or worse off than when they began. Joshua is the exception. There's a reason I hired him again when I needed more work done, and have recommended him to others. He's courteous, thorough, professional, prompt, and reliable. His work is great and he stands by it. He guides you through the process, explains costs and parameters, and responds attentively to your needs even after the job is done and he's already been paid. If you need an HVAC guy, look no further. He's your guy. read more

Joshua and his team are awesome! I used them for the first time this past summer (2018) during the middle of the 100 degree heatwave. I called several AC companies who weren't available for days but Valley Coast came out that evening to fix my AC. They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very competitive with their prices. I knew after they repaired my AC, they would be the only company I'd go to in the future. This past weekend, Joshua and his team replaced an entire AC unit at an apartment building I own. They worked Sat/Sun (some of it in the rain) to complete the job so my tenants wouldn't be without heat. Again, another great experience dealing with Joshua - I can't recommend this company enough! You will be happy you called Joshua for all your AC/Heating needs. read more

Joshua was fantastic! I needed a faulty thermostat and transformer replaced that was improperly installed from a person that shouldn't have been hired in the first place. *Ahem*. I was contacted within a few minutes of sending a message and had an appointment set up shortly thereafter. All in all, the repair took a little less than an hour. His rates are extremely reasonable, and I now have my central A/C and Heater unit back up and running. No more cold nights! Note: If I had Yelped in the beginning and gone with a professional, my life would have been less stressful. Shame on me. Shame on me.... read more

Josh replaced my unit a few months ago and has been nothing short of exemplary he was professional, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He fully explained my options and went over the pros and cons of each in an understandable and detailed way. He also checked some of the other existing hardware and wiring. It is a refreshing experience to deal with some one as honest and capable as josh in a world with an increasing number of shady businesses and individuals. I look forward to working with him for years to come read more

I own four restaurants and have dealt with 100's of repair services for everything you can imagine. But when my AC went down at my home I decided to randomly check yelp for someone local just to see what I could get. It's the best thing I ever did. Joshua the owner was prompt, knowledgeable and very efficient at analyzing the job. Getting us a fair price and then busting out the work super quick. I will definitely be using his company moving forward for all our needs and can't recommend him enough. Seriously, don't bother with other companies. Most of them are rip offs. This guys legit and has a decent soul. read more

I'm a new first time homeowner with a list of semi-small projects I have needed to knock out at the new house. Needless to say, I have learned what an absolute nightmare it is to find good contractors and service providers in LA who are responsive, on time, honest and transparent with pricing. It has been such a struggle that when I find good people I really try to make a point to leave a review to pay it forward. When I needed a smart thermostat installed Josh from VC came same day (within two hours) to do a minor rewire and install and was just awesome. We got to talking and he even referred me out to a trustworthy buddy of his to have some stucco work done which has now saved me an endless trail of chasing down unreliable people. Highly reco VCAC if you need this kind of work done! read more

Josh and his crew recently installed a new AC system as well as water heater for me. By far the most personable and honest guy I have had working for me at the house. They did a great job and we're very good about explaining what they were doing, and were great about giving me an accurate and realistic timeline on things. Josh is the best in town and I will trust him again with any work I need done. Thanks Josh! -RR read more

There are contractors in and out of our new home and we wanted to get a filtration system that would remove viruses from the air and help with dust in our space. There are lots of options out there, and it's kind of a significant purchase. Joshua guided us through the options and then expertly installed the one that was best for us (which actually wasn't the one we originally called about). Thanks for the advice and installation, Joshua! read more

I highly recommend this company. I called them to service our AC and came the next day. Joshua is very honest and only fixed whatever needed to be done... Nothing more. We were quoted higher at a diff company and so glad we came across Joshua's company on Yelp. Later in the week, we had problems with the AC cooling. I called Joshua and even though he had a busy day scheduled he still stopped in late at night to check. It was a thermometer issue (our fault), Joshua laughed it off and didn't charge us. Very honest and reliable. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Joshua came the same day I called. Our bedroom a/c was blowing warm air. He looked at it, give me a few options and ended up doing a whole maintenance on the air. It is now working great! Very professional and a great service! read more

The amount of rescheduling this company makes is ridiculous. Valley Coast Air Control is run by scam artists. I felt I was taken advantage of and oversold what actually was needed. They charged me in advance and rescheduled more than 15 times in a two week period. When I told them I wanted to cancel and refund me my over $1,000 they said they had an opening the next day. They promised to bring special machines that would detect any Freon leaks in my unit and would make sure everything was taken care of before the mechanic left, hence the added price. When he arrived at 6pm he took a tank of Freon unscrewed a cap filled it up and screwed it back on. He did not check for any leaks which I was promised in the scheduling not did any other maintenance on my unit. I called and requested to speak with someone who would be able to refund me the difference in the service I received vs the service I paid for and never received a call back. Due to the unprofessionalism and dishonesty I would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

Very good service. Showed up on time, professional, detailed explanation. I would recommend this ac company. read more

After a long day, Josh still came out to assess our A/C needs. As renters, the final decision isn't ours but, as a former homeowner and someone who has dealt with many contractors and small business owners, this man is the real deal. read more

After three weeks of trying to get my failing AC unit fixed, I finally got fed up with another company who shall remain nameless- Suffice to say they have 99 1-star reviews on Yelp, and for good reason. Valley Coast, on the other hand, was a total pleasure to deal with. I first called Joshua and let him know that the repairman from the other company had unplugged our rooftop AC unit, which I have no access to, and then left. He wasn't planning to come back for over a week. This is in the dead of LA summer. (Not to mention that was the third time he had come out here- the first time he knocked on the door and left without calling. The second time he said he had no ladder to climb to the roof. I later found out this was actually because he is scared of heights. I feel for ya guy, but maybe AC repair was a bad choice of profession...) At any rate, Joshua at Valley Coast was totally understanding and willing to help us out on short notice despite the fact they are already slammed this summer. He arranged with my building manager to send someone out ASAP, and that person was Kevin, who came totally prepared, was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail. He was very thorough and just a nice guy to boot. As a small business owner myself, I say this is how you run a business. They just earned themselves a lifelong customer in me, and I'll be telling my friends. A++ read more

Called josh when my house air conditioner stopped working. He was involved in a repair so he sent Don within an hour who started step one. Don returned after the coils defrosted and fixed the system But I discovered that one part of system still wasn't working. He came back the next day and found a simple battery change fixed it They only charged for a single visit at a reasonable cost. Don also explained everything he was doing. I describe their service as professional, prompt and fairly priced. I would definitely call them again read more

Very happy with installation of a new thermostat. Quick to respond and service was perfect. Was able to diagnose the issue we were having with our heater and get us in on his busy schedule the same day. Appreciate your help! read more

Joshua was a nice person to meet and very attentive with his job and most importantly he was honest. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and will call him again. read more

What a great experience, which is so infrequently the case with last minute repair needs! Of course, on cue, our AC went out on the hottest day of the year. We called the company who had previously been doing the work and they were closed, and my husband decided to look on yelp and came across Valley Coast Air Control. Josh said he would be here in a few hours and he sure was! Then away he went on beginning his diagnostic. To my surprise, after about 30 minutes, the air kicked back on without us having to buy any new parts and wait a week to be serviced. He really troubleshooted the system thoroughly to find the problem and wasted no time. He then made recommendations as to how we should move forward with continued maintenance and offered several solutions, walking us through each one objectively. It is clear that Josh understands his trade very well, he cares deeply about his customer's needs, and simply wants to leave each job better than when he came. What a refreshing experience! We are so grateful!! Thank you so much Josh. read more

Technician came out for an estimate. He was on time and matched the best quote I had after I told him I wanted to work with him since he seemed a lot more professional and service oriented. He completed the repairs and had most parts in his truck and had his crew deliver rest on same day so he can finish all work. read more

Josh came out today (on a Saturday with very little notice no less) to fix my Central AC system. He's incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and got the job done very quickly. He was exactly on time and was super efficient. Highly recommend him for your HVAC needs! read more

Joshua, the owner, did a full AC replacement in my home back in October, 2015. He did an absolutely amazing job! The price he quoted me was VERY FAIR, lower than all of the other estimates I received, except one, which his matched. When he first came out to give me an estimate, he actually offered to look at my current AC (which hadn't worked in two years) to see if he could maybe fix it, instead of a full replacement. That alone was amazing. He wasn't out to sell me something I didn't need! (This is a RARE find in LA!). His assessment concurred with previous evaluations I had. He was so knowledgeable about how HVAC works, and explained everything to me in detail. His approach to selling me a new AC was way more professional, honest, and skilled, than all of the other estimates I previously received combined (I had three). Watching him install the unit was amazing. He worked until it was perfect, and did everything in his power to make my experience good. (At the time, he had worked for another HVAC company, which as it turns out is a horrible company, and the only thing that saved me was Joshua.) When this company dropped the ball, Joshua stepped in and took care of everything, literally! He really did an amazing job. I highly recommend Valley Coast Air Control. Joshua is extremely skilled at his craft; more knowledgeable than anyone I've met in the field, is patient as he takes his time to explain everything and answer questions, and is proactive. Did I mention HONEST?! His company will be my HVAC company from here on forward. When you find a service company in LA that is honest, skilled, patient, proactive, and timely, you hold on to them! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! 10++ stars! read more

Joshua is great. He is responsive, prompt, extremely communicative, and honest. He showed up after an hour of calling on a Saturday when our heat went out, and was very consultative throughout the process. read more

Joshua and his team did an outstanding job diagnosing and fixing my HVAC troubles. He troubleshot my problems within minutes and was able to complete the project quickly at a fair price. Joshua and his team was very professional and respectful and I would definitely recommend Valley Coast to anyone with A/C or genre HVAC issues. read more

Joshua was super easy to communicate and get an appointment with and gave me a reasonable quote for the work I needed on my HVAC system in my condo. He's very professional, friendly, and very willing to answer any questions and explain how everything works and what needs to be done. Highly recommend! read more

We had Joshua out recently to service our AC because it had broken down a few weekends ago. It was a quick repair and nothing major he said so he didn't charge much. He was able to repair it same day with parts he had on his truck. His warranty is for one year. He even discounted me for being a teacher what I thought was amazing. I'm going to be recommending his company now to my all my friends and co-workers. read more

I really can't say anything bad about this company. Joshua knows his trade and is informative and professional. After he came out to asses our ac issue he explained what needed to be done and gave us a fair quote. He even came out on the 4th of July to add coolant while we waited for our service repair just a couple days later... who does that on a holiday!! Thanks Joshua.. AC working great now read more

Josh is awesome. Super responsive on the phone (answered immediately, and gave me a call 30 minutes in advance of arrival like his said he would) and more importantly, made it out to repair my AC on short notice and on a hot Saturday afternoon. Thank you, thank you! Very happy customer. read more

Josh just finished installing a mini-split AC/heater in my guest house. He was very professional, prompt and considerate. He finished the job before New Year's even though others may not have due to the holidays. It's obvious he's very knowledgeable and experienced but still reasonably priced. I definitely will use his company again and already have plans for future work. read more

I got a referral from my neighbor Michelle to use their services, after she told me about Joshua and his company. Valley Coast Air Control installed her A.C. system 3 years ago, and Michelle could not stop raving and ranting about how professional and reliable the service was. I decided to use their services after speaking with their lead, Sergio who was very courteous, reliable and professional. It was not difficult to get in touch with them and have their service men come out to inspect my residence when they said they would. They kept to their word. They were also very honest and told me my options and also stated that they were not the cheapest but not he most expensive, but somewhere in the middle. Their professionalism and quality of work and efficiency goes beyond words spoken, and I am one very happy customer. Not to mention I got a lot of perks thrown in, here and there! I would strongly recommend their services to my friends and neighbors. Sergio was very pleasant to deal with, and so were Santiago and Kevin. Great customer service and great quality of work you can trust! Thank You Valley Cost Air Control for coming out on a hot summer day!!! read more

Josh was professional and accommodating on the phone and arrived even before the estimated time. They were honest and efficient and had the problem fixed in no time. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Joshua come out on time the same day I inquired and he knows his stuff. He identified the issue in less than 5 min and fixed it in another five. Great guy with knowledge and very friendly to work with. Will definitely recommend. read more

I had two of my mini split units down in my rental units as the temperatures were nearing 90. I had purchased an investment property that was "newly renovated" and the previous owner had not installed the units properly. Valley Coast told me why the issues were and 2 options to take. They were able to get out there right away started the work on the 1st unit, and get to the 2nd one once the tenants were available. Theu worked on a payment schedule and great with follow up as the work was being done. Thanks so much! It's been 2 months now, and everything is running perfectly! read more

The response time was very prompt and Joshua was able to come by the next day to diagnose my furnace. He was very professional, quick and was able to give me a fair price on replacing the blower motor. Highly recommend! read more

Prompt arrival and thorough evaluation. He was very nice and took the time to explain the issues.

This was great service. My air conditioner started blowing warm air during a heat wave and I called Valley Coast Air. They scheduled me immediately. There was a slight delay and I had to go to work - so Josh rescheduled me at a convenient time for me later the same day - and was waiting for me when I got home. He found the problem immediately and fixed it for a fair price. Perfect service and a great result. I highly recommend Valley Coast Air Control. read more

Joshua is THE BEST! Super nice, service is prompt and they were so accommodating in the office making the appointment. When Joshua came out I had been without heat for the Christmas weekend and feared my old clunker furnace/air conditioner had finally bit the dust. He took a look, fixed it, explained the problem, and warned me of potential issues with especially old furnaces. I wasn't pressured in any way, but he did assure me that whenever I was ready, he would make me a great offer on a new one, then didn't even charge for the repair!!! CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!! A Gazillion Stars! I will definitely be buying my next unit from him!! read more

Valley coast air control the best option for new systems or repairs. If your tired on being taken advantage of I highly recommend giving them a call. Joshua young is a great service tech and a very good person. He is my guy for all my HVAC needs. I had three other companies out and he was the only one honest and fully explained everything. read more

Really cool guy. Definitely knowledgeable on his services and will recommend valuable advice for a longer lifespan of your AC unit. Got everything running back in 2 days, but that's also considering he had to take one of our parts to his shop to repair it. Overall, great service and would highly recommend him. read more
