I am a senior with a kitty and we find it harder and harder each year to tolerate heat. Richard arrived Monday and was so kind. He was very thorough and diagnosed the problem (electrical) almost immediately. He was extremely knowledgeable and seemed very skilled. I also felt very comfortable asking him questions which is really important to me. I learned so much! In very little time, I was up and running! 1st Choice installed my AC unit several years ago. I was so impressed even then with their technicians. From signing the contract for the work, from start to finish! I think their amazing customer reviews speak for themselves!

I would like to give a special shout out to Anthony and the entire team for their exceptional…read moreservice! Anthony was able to quickly diagnose our AC system and have it up and running in less than 10 minutes, which was truly impressive. Not only did Anthony resolve the issue efficiently, but he also saved my parents a significant amount of money. A previous company had quoted us $7,000 for a repair on a part that turned out to not even be the problem. Thanks to Anthony's expertise, we only spent a fraction of that cost on the actual repair. What sets this company apart is their honesty and the high level of training their technicians possess. As customers, that is truly all we can ask for. I highly recommend this team and will not hesitate to call them again for any future needs. Keep up the outstanding work!

So being CONSIDERATE, I messaged these guys on Yelp from a laptop to provide them an alternate number in case they needed to reach out. The message comes back as they had an emergency schedule issue... So would I have known about this if I didn't reach out? Would I have just been waiting at home for nothing? Photos show a bunch of people that work for the company, and not ONE can come out for a set appointment? I'm giving an freebie star because I know I'm also pissed about my phone and upcoming busy schedule. But this is why I PLAN things out and have backup plans.

TLDR: Suspicious about a quote I had received from Big Wave for $3,123 in repairs to my blower I…read morereached out to Shawn Lambert HVAC for a second opinion. I had troubleshot past the capacitor (good), and Big Wave recommended replacement of circuit card, fan, motor, and igniter. Why would all of those items break simultaneously, and parts would take 3 weeks to arrive. I called Shawn Labert and they weren't able to schedule me until the following week. Shawn called me back immediately and remarked that since I had already taken the trouble to check the capacitor, replacement of the control card should be well within my ability. He even suggested ordering one from Amazon which I had assumed was only available from an HVAC supplier. Finally, he even offered to be available to answer any technical questions I had. His encouragement was all I needed! I found a replacement card on Amazon sold by Rheem for $151. It arrived the following afternoon. That night I installed it within 30 minutes, and my blower roared to life! I literally saved $3,000 and 3 weeks of living in a hot house. In the future, I'll call Shawn Lambert if I need HVAC support.

A few days ago, we experienced a power outage, and my air conditioner stopped blowing air. After…read morereading several reviews, I decided to have this company come and check my unit. I was informed that the diagnostic fee would be $89, which would be credited toward any necessary repairs or services. Devin came out to assess the situation. He discovered that a fuse was burned and replaced it. He also checked the AC capacitor and noted that it should be within 5% of 12.5 volts, but it was slightly lower, so he recommended replacing it. He quoted me $169 for the service and the capacitor. While checking the unit, he mentioned that another capacitor on the roof also needed to be replaced, quoting $285 for that part. Additionally, he clarified that the $169 service fee did not include the cost of the indoor capacitor, which would be an extra $165. I found this pricing quite unusual and expressed my concern, to which he replied that these parts are generally expensive. The total came to $589, but Devin said he provided a discount, bringing it down to $500. I asked him to leave the old capacitors for me to inspect. After doing some research online, I found that one capacitor was priced under $20 and the other slightly above that amount. I have included pictures for your reference. Essentially, the initial issue was a burnt fuse, and the two capacitors were replaced because they were old and potentially damaging to the unit in the future. However, the pricing for these parts feels dishonest. I had read many positive reviews about this company, particularly praising Shawn's honesty, so I am left feeling disappointed. It's disheartening to think that in our community, some may take advantage of others simply because they can. I believe we should treat each other with respect and integrity, especially when it comes to services we provide and receive. Unfortunately, my experience here has led me to feel that my trust was misplaced. I would not recommend this company; integrity is not something you can sell.

The entire system indeed, needed replacement! Capistrano Air came in at an honest quote and it was quite a bit less than a prior company's estimate, yet Capo. Air would be providing us with top-of-the- line equipment! Installation was scheduled and took place in less than a week. Shane and his crew were punctual, immediately set to work on removing the old, large heating system and outdoor unit, and worked tirelessly all day! We were constantly informed of each step - where the routing of tubing within the garage would be placed with attachment to the outside unit, and where its' location had to be, etc.. At completion, the system was tested, along with our Venstar thermostat - all functioned perfectly, and the property was left in impeccable condition! We HIGHLY recommend Capistrano Air for their honesty, pricing, punctuality and communication. Many thanks to Matt and Shane for having such a great company and crew!!

Everything was resolved quickly and instead of charging me a good amount for a one time service, they offered a twice a year tune up plan for less, and would include this visit as covered.

Above and beyond my expectations and the service was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Great experience overall!

I had low expectations as my previous technician with a different company from last year barely did anything and did not even check our drain line inside the home. McShane was our technician and he's the reason I'm even leaving a 5 star review. He explained what he was doing and answered all my questions. He was respectful of the property, used shoe covers before entering, and asked permission before moving things around. You notice those little things when you've had a bad experience in the past. I would say the value is also worth it. It was $85 for the tune-up. I was obviously looking for something cheaper but you get what you pay for. Overall great service!! This company will now be my go-to for my HVAC needs!

I'm SO glad to have finally found a HVAC company that I can truly trust!.....that's very honest,…read moreprofessional, fair, and do their work like a true expert. Why? To cut a long story short, I have not had good experiences with HVAC companies in the past where they try to scare you into paying for overpriced (and unnecessary) replacement parts, expensive service plans, and then end up doing shoddy work. This was why my AC never cooled like it was supposed to.....for the last 6 or 7 years! Until now. I had read through all the reviews on Yelp for a HVAC company I could trust, and finally narrowed my choices down to Stanley at Irvine AC. I emailed the company about what I needed done....that is, AC was not cooling as it should, and to have my themostat replaced to a smart one. The response was quick and detailed....and surprised me as it was on a weekend and I didn't expect any reply till the following work week. Anyway, I later learned that it was Stanely himself who responded to my email, informing me what he would do, what it would cost, and even made several suggestions on thermostats for me to consider over the rest of the weekend....I really appreciated that. Anyway, Stanley texted me 20-30 minutes before ETA...nice....and arrived on time. He nicely greeted me, came prepared with his bag of tools,and a fully equipped van, and was even respectful enough to have brought shoe covers so as not to dirty our floors.....very good impression made so far. Stanley went to the AC unit outside to do his diagnosis and some time later came back to tell me what he found and made suggestions to fix the problem. It seemed the capacitor the previous HVAC tech installed was an unapproved model, and they had left the gas caps off, which is why the AC's freon had been leaking all these years, making the air in my home not cool. OMG! I couldn't believe it....finally, a solution! Stanley then gave us a breakdown as to what everything would cost, and I was pleasantly surprised it sounded very fair (compare to my neighbor who recently had his AC serviced). He also told us what we did and didn't need, never tried to upsell me into expensive parts and services, and definitely didn't try to sell me some overpriced service plan. Just simple, honest, friendly and fair expert service...that's it. During Stanley's time at our home, we chatted about this and that, and this gave me even more confidence in his abilities, his personality, and his character.....not only is he a true expert in what he does, he's a good, honest, and affable person, and as far as I am concerned, this is exactly what I been looking for for so long.
