Jeremy (one of the J's in J&J) was friendly, outgoing, on time (or called/texted with updated arrival times), and knowledgeable. His prices were competitive. An interesting tidbit of information about him is that he is a certified chimney sweep as well! Who knew that was a thing? I will definitely call J&J again should I need help with my furnace or AC.

Jeremy came out and cleaned my fireplace insert, so it now looks almost new. He told me what I could do to make it work better for me, and he also checked out my heating system, including inserting a new filter. Jeremy is one of the nicest service providers that I've ever had at my house! Given that I am in the process of collecting bids for my kitchen and bath remodel, Jeremy also provided me with the names of contractors whom he recommends and has worked with. He will be following up with a quote for the additional heating system and fireplace insert work. If you need anything done to do with HVAC or a gas fireplace insert, look no further and call J & J now!

After reporting a furnace issue (ignitor continually activating after burner was ignited and blower…read morerunning) to my home warranty company, they sent a contractor technician. He diagnosed that the blower needed to be replaced. (I am a certified aero engineer, so am familiar with ignition and burner systems) When questioned about the continuously activating ignitor, he indicated that the continuously running ignitor was "normal." When I sowed him online that the continuously activating ignitor was not normal and could be dangerous, he didn't 52 minutes researching Google on his cell phone and did not change his diagnosis or estimate fir cleaning the fan and replacing the blower that was working fir an additional $240 over the warranty's initial service fee. I called highly recommended Air Systems Solutions in Ventura, CA who arranged for a technician visit the next day. He was very courteous and did a very thorough job and replaced the ignition panel. Aside from the part itself, the service fee was less than half of the original contractor's estimate. Highly recommend work from Air Systems Solutions in Ventura CA.

His office managers were always very communicative to schedule a time for Brad to gauge the scope of work.

His pricing was fair, and he even recommended an asbestos removal company - which his team coordinated the work for, taking the burden off me. Overall, Home Furnace Co is a great local SB company, and Brad is a stand up owner that you can rely on. I'll continue to use them as my as my furnace needs arise, and I'd recommend you do the same!

What impressed me most was their honesty. We were preparing ourselves for the possibility of a full system replacement, but instead of recommending the most expensive option, they replaced a few key parts and got our system running like new. That kind of integrity is hard to find. Their team went above and beyond every step of the way, and we couldn't be more grateful--especially with pets, kids, and extended family at home and temperatures climbing. If you're looking for an HVAC company that's responsive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely focused on solving the problem, Hilo Aire is the best in the Santa Clarita Valley. Highly recommend! Would give them extra stars on this review if possible!!! No brainer!

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.
