WOW! FIVE STAR SERVICE here on Labor Day, no less!…read more On Sunday, Labor Day weekend, our central air just shut off and the thermostat went dark during the as-advertised heatwave. I called my regular HVAC folks who are an hour south of us. I really like them and they've been great. They returned my voicemail, a few hours later, but the news wasn't good. Even after calling guys in from vacation, they just couldn't get to me. And, of course, we had some dear friends from out of town spending a rare weekend in our home. So, I poured through Yelp, Google, and my own address book and reached out on Sunday to anyone and everyone HVAC I knew. Couldn't locate a soul that could come out while we sweltered. A tech from our regular company was kind enough to text me some possible solutions, which we tried to no avail. We needed a tech at the house to troubleshoot. Around 5pm, Tony, the owner of Beyond Heating & Air texted me. I don't remember how I'd gotten his number, but I'd called and left a VM. Tony texted to say he'd just landed on the East Coast and apologized for taking so long to get back to me. He was warm and friendly, but the news was the same. They didn't have anyone on call who could get to me and generously recommended two larger competitors in town. I texted back the next morning and thanked him for the referral. In reply, he said he'd ask and see if one of his techs, Greg, might be willing to take another call on Labor Day Monday. "I can't promise anything. I apologize again. I know it's a heat wave." Within about 10 minutes, we got a call from Greg who was on his way over! Under promise, over deliver. Definitely one of the best ways to make a customer happy and not let their expectations exceed what you can meet. We were a little ecstatic. Greg came and conquered. Within a half hour or less, he'd figured out what he suspected was the problem, and turned out he was right. There was a condensation drain pan that had become clogged and caused auto-shutoff to kill power to the thermostat. He cleaned and tested and will return tomorrow with a small part and our home is now getting cool again. The best part about this whole experience is people. It seems clear to me, that Tony really believes in customer service. He cared about someone he'd never met, someone he'd never worked with. Just a name, just a voicemail. He was an outstanding communicator from the time he was back in cell range. Greg was affable, knowledgeable, and it was a relief to have an expert there so we could stop guessing about what was wrong and how long it was going to take to repair. Nobody loves having to pay holiday rates for a service call, but we're so grateful to have our house at a reasonable temperature again, we'll gladly do so. At first I thought the company name was kind of funny. I chuckled and thought, "What is BEYOND heating and air?" Haha. But now I know. It's PEOPLE. It's people you can count on who really seem to care about people like us who need them. It's an attitude. It's a work ethic. It's the standard of excellence they approach their work with. It's above and beyond the call of duty. You can guess who we'll call the next time we need help. We're beyond happy we found them. Thanks, guys. ~

I hired Anacapa Plumbing for a residential plumbing project at my property, and unfortunately my…read moreexperience was very disappointing in the areas of management, scheduling, communication, and billing. To start, the work was scheduled to begin on a Monday between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. I already was not thrilled with such a large arrival window, but I accepted it. What was not acceptable was that no one showed up and no one called. I rearranged my morning and ended up being late to my own job for no reason. There were also repeated communication failures during the project. At one point, I was told the water would be shut off on a Monday, so I had my renters make plans to be away so they would not be inconvenienced by having no water. Monday came and went, and the water was never shut off. Apparently their plans had changed, but no one communicated that to us. When they finally did shut the water off, it was handled in a way that created a completely unnecessary burden. On one occasion, the guest house was without water all day and overnight. On a different day, the main house was also without water all day and overnight. In my opinion, this was avoidable. I had already run the main line to both houses. They only needed to run piping from those lines to the water heaters. That work should have been staged so everything else was prepped first, with the final tie-ins done once the glue had cured, keeping the water interruption to maybe an hour or two. Instead, two families were significantly inconvenienced, and the attitude I got was that this was standard and no big deal. Another issue was professionalism on site. One of the workers was loudly yelling and swearing in the crawlspace, including repeated profanity. This was not a vacant construction site. This is a home where people live. I was grateful my wife and kids were not around to hear it. After the plumbing work was completed, I finished enclosing the relocated washer and dryer area by framing, insulating, and drywalling the space. When I finally hooked up the machines and ran a load of laundry, the room flooded because water backed up and poured out of the in-wall washing machine drain. I called Anacapa Plumbing, and since this happened just a couple of days after they finished the job, I expected a prompt and professional response. I was told someone would come that afternoon. No one came. Then I was told they would send someone the next day. A plumber eventually came while I was at work, stayed about an hour, and left without any communication. Hours later, I still had no idea whether the problem had been fixed or whether it was safe to use the washing machine. I had to call and leave a message to find out. Later I was told it was okay to use, followed by a $270 bill for that visit. The billing was another major issue. The original estimate was around $15,000. The final bill came in at about $20,000, plus the additional $270. That is roughly a 25% increase with no meaningful communication, warning, or explanation during the job. In fairness, I did add a small amount to the scope by having them run about 25 feet of hot and cold PEX with two shutoff valves, but I do not believe that justifies an extra $5,000. For context, I am a General Contractor and have been for 18 years. I often try out subcontractors on my own properties before using them on residential client projects. Anacapa Plumbing was one of several companies recommended to me locally. Based on this experience, I would not use them again, and I would not recommend them to others. P.S. Thorn was nice and a good worker.

Before the cleaning, the unit was pretty dusty, and there were stains in the toilet and kitchen that I had personally tried to remove for months. I tried a lot of things but just couldn't get those annoying stains off. A few days before my move-out, I decided to call MasterCare and schedule their cleaning service. The service was excellent. They sent a 2-person cleaning team, and the total cleaning took about 4 hours. They magically cleaned the stains that I couldn't manage to remove after months of effort (seriously, I don't know how they did it lol) They cleaned inside the windows, oven, closets, floors, ceilings, and even areas like behind the refrigerator. Everything was cleaned very thoroughly. After they finished, they asked me to check the unit to make sure everything looked good. When I checked, the floor was clean like a mirror(literally reflective lmao see photo I attached) (no exaggeration). The communication with the cleaning team was also very smooth. They were friendly, professional, and did an excellent job, honestly better than I expected. Given the quality of work they did, I think the price is very reasonable. (Some random and weird thoughts: I'm a CS student doing research in AI and robotics, and watching them clean actually made me think that it would be pretty hard to design a robot or RL algorithm that could match their level of cleaning expertise lol +1 point to the human team) After the cleaning, my property managers inspected the unit and said it looked great, so it seems like I'll be getting my full deposit back, which I'm very happy about. I also had great communication with Linda, the company's manager. She is efficient, responsive, and professional, and the whole communication process was very smooth. I enjoyed communicating with her. So, if you live in Isla Vista or near UCSB and need a move-out cleaning, I personally recommend MasterCare

McCormack Heating & Air Conditioning installed my new furnace three years ago, and I was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and the exceptional quality of their work. From start to finish, they delivered top-notch service, ensuring everything was installed perfectly and functioning efficiently. Based on my experience, I can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of heating and air conditioning services. Recently, I received a notice from the city of Santa Barbara regarding an issue with the paperwork for my furnace. This was entirely the city's issue, not McCormack's. Despite having no obligation to assist, McCormack Heating & Air Conditioning went above and beyond to resolve the issue on my behalf. Their willingness to step in and handle a situation that wasn't their responsibility speaks volumes about their integrity, dedication to customer service, and commitment to excellence. I cannot praise McCormack Heating & Air Conditioning enough! If you're looking for a company that stands behind their work and truly cares about their customers, look no further.

I run a business that requires windows to stay closed for client privacy, and a comfortable, quiet environment is non-negotiable. Bill was fully aware of this. Because of the broken promises, I've been forced to buy several devices just to keep the room tolerable. They're loud, disruptive to my clients, and eating into my business. I've sent him multiple messages trying to get this resolved. He told me he'd replace the thermostat, told me he'd fix the vent, told me the new system would take care of everything.
