I'm a realtor and refer Optimal AC to my clients often. They're a small family business which I prefer. They're always friendly, competitively priced and very knowledgeable and honest. There have been times when they're a few days out on appointments and I've had to use another company and nobody else has the same level of service and pricing as them. Highly recommended! read more

We used Optimal Air to replace our air conditioner after it broke last May. We did our homework and for multiple quotes and we were floored with the range of prices. Jim and his team gave us a variety of options and we were so happy we picked them. They were so clean and efficient. We couldn't be happier and know who will be servicing our new unit for years to come. read more

Jim and his wife are very quick to respond and schedule service. We have used them multiple times and will continue in the future. Love that they are a family run, local business. read more

I needed a new furnace and AC unit, and Optimal Air was one of the businesses I contacted. Jim's wife, Amy, was awesome and was able to squeeze in a last minute consult on our requested day. Jim came out and we were immediately impressed with his demeanor. It was like talking to a friend, and he did not come across as a sales guy. He listened to what we wanted, and explained all the options. He even measured all the registers on that day. Communication was a 10/10. His wife Amy always responded to my calls and text messages. When we received the quote, it was a lot less than we were expecting, which was a plus for us. He quoted us on an AC Pro model, but asked if he could provide a quote for an American Standard system, which he had no problem with. Ultimately, we decided to go with using AC Pro which based on his recommendation and on top of research my husband and I did on the brand. The scheduling of the work was fast, and it was scheduled the following Monday. They arrived on time and got straight to work. I'm a bit of a clean freak, so I asked that they use shoe covers if needing to step outside of the work area. Jim and his workers were respectful of my wishes, and I appreciated that they respected our home. They finished in a day and did a great job cleaning the work area. We can't wait to use the AC and heater. We're happy we hired Jim and his team for the job, and are glad to have hired a family owned business. read more

I would give this team, this company, and these people all the stars if I could! They truly deserve it. Super trustworthy, friendly, quick, and professional. We just bought our house less than a year and were faced and still dealing with many unexpected problems. Our AC broke down on an extremely hot day, and I couldn't sleep all night because it was unbearably warm. I searched all over Google, hoping to find someone I could rely on. Our house is old, and so are its systems... You get the idea. Everyone suggested we upgrade or replace things, but with a second big debt on top of the mortgage, we couldn't afford any major expenses at this difficult time. Early in the morning, I called them three times with no answer. I understood they were probably busy due to the weather. I sent a message and waited. An hour later, Amy texted me back. We had a quick conversation, and she was able to schedule an appointment within two hours. Anthony showed up, diagnosed the issue, ordered the part, and came back to replace it. What really impressed me was that they didn't even push for immediate payment! Most companies focus on money, labor costs, and profit. But this team was all about getting the job done and helping out, without pressuring me to pay right away. I was blown away by Amy's excellent customer service and Anthony's professionalism. They're truly people with hearts and minds, which is exactly what we need more of in this world. Honest, empathetic, and reasonable, they quickly earned my husband's and my trust. Wonderful experience! read more

Great service and honest. Two things to know with Optimal Ait team. I needed my furnace repaired due to issues from the previous tenants. Jim and Amy were very helpful and understanding of my situation. They never seemed to busy to answer my questions and keep me updated along the way. On top of the great service, the price definitely felt honest. Thanks for your great service. I definitely recommend! read more

Honest, reliable, and excellent from start to finish. Jim and Amy and their crew are true professionals. They saved me thousands of dollars after installing two better units than my original quote with another company. They will get all my HVAC business and every referral I can make. Thank you, Optimal Air, for an awesome job and the best service! read more

Every once in a while you run into a company that will WOW you with their services. Optimal Air Heating and Air Conditioning is one of those companies. I interviewed several HVAC companies and Optimal Air stood out for their fair pricing, outstanding communication and quick lead time. They educated us along the way to ensure we knew what to consider when making our decisions and selections. Everyone on their team truly cares about your experience as a customer. It was a no stress installation for us. Thank you Amy, Jim and team! read more

Anthony came out on a same day call the day before a holiday to fix our AC. The company was helpful, responsive and affordable. Anthony had our AC fixed within an hour. Our family is very grateful for Optimal Air saving us from the first of many hot days to come. read more

I can't say enough. Jim was out to see our 30 year old AC unit, quickly, and he very astutely found the problem and had it solved within a few minutes (with a very simple repair that had cold air blowing in our house asap). His honesty and integrity to point out the simple issue speaks volumes and I want to recommend him to anyone needing AC repairs. We were referred by a neighbor and its easy to see why 95% of their business is referral. Thank you Jim and Amy. read more

THANK YOU!!!! I had an issue with my AC making a buzzing sound and the fan would not spin. I had another company come out. What a Nightmare! Of course they wanted me to buy a new unit from $8k-$35k. The repairs alone $1,600 with no guarantee. Needless to say I was stressed. I had read a review from that same company (Cool Air Solutions). The customer had a similar experience and stated that she contacted Optimal Air. So that's what I did. Amy was amazing! She was concerned about trying to get me taken care of given that I have both an infant and senior in my home. They were able to come out with in 2 hrs. The technicians were friendly, professional and had my air up and running within 45 minutes. With a new fan motor and capacitor (the other $1,600 estimate didn't even include the capacitor) Grand Total $400!!!! I am so GRATEFUL!!!!!!! Thank you Optimal Air!!!!!! read more

I contacted Optimal Air back in Sept 2018 to receive information and approximate pricing for relocating our AC Condenser that the builder installed next to our patio slider. I explained to Amy that our timeline to actually schedule the job would be in Nov. 2018. Amy was very professional and friendly throughout our communications to figure out the best way to schedule an appointment for Jim to visit our backyard and give me a better price quote and explanation of the work he would perform. Jim showed up promptly on the appointed date and time to provide a more definitive job bid. It was also a nice touch for Amy to leave me a message giving me an ETA of when Jim would arrive. Jim just finished the relocation project. He and his HVAC tech. were both friendly, worked neatly and in a timely manner. Jim tested my entire system to make sure it was performing in a satisfactory manner checking the rooms upstairs for the AC cooling temp. out of the ceiling registers. He patiently taught me how to clean the condenser of dirt dust with a garden hose once our landscape contractor's crew is finished with our backyard. Both Jim and Amy provide that old fashioned customer service and care coupled with honesty towards their customers. I will definitely be contacting as well as referring Optimal Air Heating & Air Conditioning whenever we need a reliable and honest HVAC service company. read more

Are you like us and just purchased a home with a 30+ year old AC unit? Well, I'm here to tell you that I was ready to replace it in its entirety within the first month of moving in thinking it would need replacing. We had only been turning on the AC at night before bed until just last week when we had a heatwave in the 100+ weather during the day. We noticed our thermostat would actually raise in temperature instead of cool our house. We would set it to 75 and it would go up to 89. Seeing as how we had just moved in we wanted to have the AC looked over, but now with the AC not working properly we had an urgency to have someone come out. My husband coordinated an appointment for today when we both would be available. They were very accommodating, and communicated with him leading up to the appointment. Jim was personable, honest, and took the time to go over what the issues might be and went over the system as a whole. Jim's level of professionalism is top notch. The business is family owned and local. It's not every day the owner is who does the service calls. We recently moved here from Chicago, our real estate agent actually recommended him. Very happy she did! My husband and I have never had an AC unit this old before. Jim answered ALL of our questions, inspected the unit inside and out, he thoroughly cleaned the furnace and the condenser, he added 3lb of coolant, he improved the existing drain with new pvc piping on the furnace. Price was 100% reasonable, his knowledge is priceless. We are hoping to get some more time out of our AC unit, Jim definitely has our business when we replace our unit. Very fortunate to have come across Jim and his company. Give him a call, you won't regret it! UPDATE: this company is so amazing that since my first review we have called Jim to help us increase airflow to our second floor. We had friends and their 6 month old baby staying with us for a month while they waited to move into their new home (they also moved from Chicago). Jim redid our ducts and installed a fan in the attic that pushes our even more cool air. Our guests are 100% comfortable and we cannot thank Optimal Air enough. We cannot stress how amazing this company is. Honest, trusting, reasonably priced, family owned and operated. Ps. Our 32yr old AC is still alive and kicking thanks to Optima Air! read more

I was referred to Jim & Amy by a neighbor and I am so glad he did. I got a reasonable quote and was impressed right away by the kindness and professionalism. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were very patient. When the team arrived right on time for our new furnace and a/c they got to work quickly and efficiently we barely knew they were here. After Jim walked me through everything and pleasantly explained the new thermostats and how to change filters and how often to keep it running well. The installers left the area cleaner than when they arrived. We could not be happier with the new system and everyone we dealt with at Optimal Air. I strongly recommend them, also they were so kind to our elderly dog. Just all around good people read more

I can't begin to express how pleased I am to have found Optimal Air. Jim is very knowledgeable, and professional. Compared to previous vendors who came before and quoted me, Optimal Air gave me the absolute best and fair quote! No upselling tactics or sales pitches! I intend to do business with them for all my cooling and heating needs moving forward. read more

Optimal Air & Heating recently did Maitenance on my 2 furnaces and installed 2 drain pans under the cooling coils in case I ever had any issues with leaking water. I'm very pleased with the install and the through job they did! Thanks again Amy for the terrific follow up and to Anthony and Brennan for doing excellent work! read more

Jim just came and serviced our system. 1- He came a day EARLIER than scheduled. 2- They were honest and said that the original problem I thought I had didn't need to be fixed so I should save my money. 3- When a second problem showed up, they put me right back on the schedule and came a day earlier than planned. 4- Very reasonable and thorough. Jim took a lot of time to fix the problem and was happy to explain it all to me afterwards. 5- Jim was very polite and respectful to my 5 year old when he had to request he move his fort so that he could set up his ladder Great neighborhood company, happy to recommend Optimal Heating & Air Conditioning. read more

We had our heater exhaust fan replaced by this company and they did and outstanding job. Very professional and honest.

Replied to request for quote right away. They were able to come over after finishing the job they were on at the time. Very courteous and assessed problem right away. Price was fair. read more

I don't often leave reviews but the outstanding service I received today has prompted me to do so. Jim was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He came out to do a routine tune-up on my furnace and AC and I am thoroughly impressed. He explained everything really well and never pressured me to pay for extra work. He and his employee worked diligently to get my 32 year old unit operating at full capacity. The service was a fair price and I am extremely grateful that our friend referred him to us because he provided top notch service. Amy was great with communication reminding us the day prior and notifying me when Jim was getting close. We will not only request his services again in the future (reference the 32 year old unit) but we will happily refer him to friends as well. Awesome work and service, 10/10 would recommend! read more

Jim and Amy are awesome! I found them after getting some ridiculous quotes to install a wall unit in my garage. Jim came out and charged a very fair price. We have been loyal customers ever since. I highly recommend this very honest and family owned company. read more

On this occasion, my HVAC system required maintenance/repair, Amy was able to get me help the same day during a 100* heatwave in the area, Anthony arrived to diagnosis the problem and quickly found the issue and repaired it. I have used this Company in the past for both service and instillation, they are professional, knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. I will rely on Amy & Jim for all my HVAC issues in the future. Thanks Anthony! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this business! Amy is efficient, friendly and responds to requests promptly. She is thoughtful and keeps you updated when technicians will be arriving and answers all of your questions. We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jim and Anthony on two separate occasions. They are both kind, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, respectful of our home by putting on shoe covers, vacuuming and cleaning up after they have done work and explaining exactly what they are doing. Their prices were significantly lower than other quotes we received and we trust them tremendously. They were able to get our AC up and running again in only 20 minutes and saved us thousands on a new unit. They will not charge you for unnecessary repairs like some companies do. If you need an honest, hard working, family run business look no further, Optimal Air Heating and Air Conditioning is the only one you'll need, literally OPTIMAL! read more

Optimalair is FANTASTIC! Jim was so helpful from the start of the process through to the end. He explained all of our options and went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. I cannot recommend them enough!! read more

This company provided excellent customer service and Amy responded to all of my questions quickly. I contacted many other companies about my HVAC and Optimal gave me the most feedback and speedy responses. They do not pressure you into anything. They are honest and they care about their customers. Getting a quote was really easy for me. All I had to do was message them on yelp. They can message you back via yelp, email, text or call. They customer service and speedy responses will go a long ways if you ever have and problems with your HVAC system. I will definitely keep them in mind for any future needs. Thank you for everything Optimal Air! 5 stars hands down. read more

Jim and Amy were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and honest. Jim came and fixed my ac within a day even though they were all booked. I will definitely have their service again for any ac/heating issues or ac installation in future. read more

Absolutely the most honest and helpful A/C & heating company ever! I called in a panic with 100* weather outside and two A/C units down. After telling Amy that I have 4 kids and 4 dogs, she immediately came to my rescue despite being booked for 2 weeks out! I will definitely be using them and inky them again!! read more

Jim Bob - Dale Nix did not lie! Your company was fast, efficient and courteous. The greatest customer service. Thank you so much for your follow-up calls. read more

I'm going to make this simple and straight to the point. I had another company come out and give me an estimate on my air conditioning problem. They quoted me $4,600 to repair. Jim from Optimal Air came out, assessed the situation and fixed the problem. He charged me $780.00 for the whole job and was extremely professional. Amy, who answered the phone was knowledgeable and kept me informed when Jim was going to arrive. They made my wife and I very comfortable and followed Covid-19 safety protocols. We really appreciated that. This was not a company that low-balls on pricing. Optimal Air was a knowledgeable and honest company that takes pride in helping their customers by doing the right thing. There are a lot of other companies that will gouge on the pricing and even then, not provide the quality service we received. This was the first time we've called Optimal Air but they treated us like family. We will never call anyone else. We feel lucky to have found them. read more

Optimal Air was recommended to me by a neighbor when my A/C suddenly went out a few days before we had a planned trip. I got several estimates and they beat everyone by several thousand dollars and were able to get the new condenser installed within the week. I like that they are a smaller company, with the wife taking the calls and her husband and another technician doing the work, I feel that must cut down on the overhead, which they pass on to the customer with an amazing price. I will definitely call on them again when our other unit goes out. read more

I had central air conditioning installed by Jim Laymon and was impressed with his service! He was professional, polite and very congenial. His work amazed me bc tricky components entered the situation and he knew exactly how to fix them. It was installed and running within several hours and my husband and I finally got a great nights sleep! I recommend Jim and his worker 100% of awesomeness! Thank you Jim for your outstanding service! Much appreciated! read more

Had a great experience with Optimal Air! Our air conditioner went out Sunday night and we were able to get in contact with Amy first thing Monday am. She was extremely helpful in getting us a prompt appointment. Her husband Jim came out the same day and was able to fix our air conditioner in no time. He was extremely professional, fast and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and will be using them in the future. read more

We have been so impressed with the prompt and professional service with Optimal Air. We have used them twice and have been very happy with their communication. They are friendly, honest and reasonable! read more

I can not find enough positive accolades to use in my review here. Jim and Amy are the absolute best of the best! When I called, Amy was so helpful over the phone and gave me options of what to try to get my condenser unit to function in the meantime until Jim could come out. Both Jim and Amy took their time to talk to me and explain things (even my annoying questions) thoroughly! My appointment was set right away for a few days out, as it is a busy time of year. Jim was kind enough to squeeze me into his schedule sooner. Jim completed all work and then tested the system to be sure it was working properly, and did not rush or do things half way. Jim and his assistant were even kind enough to change out my filters and check my system for me.. This company is honest, kind, professional, reasonable, and shows the utmost of integrity! I did not feel uncomfortable in my own home, or pressured to try to buy something that I did not need, like I have with other companies. They went above and beyond for me, and I am so grateful to have found my new heating and air company! read more

My AC is over 20 years old and starting to show its age. Jim from Optimal Air came out to take a look. I was really impressed with his honesty. Rather than trying to sell me a new system, Jim took the time to see what he could do to give my AC a few more years of service. He explained everything up front and gave me several options. AC works GREAT. When the time comes to replace my AC, I will definitely call Optimal Air. read more

Amazing service, I can't express how happy I am with Jim and Amy. They were very friendly and knowledgeable, they went above and beyond for me and my family to come out (and work with my crazy schedule) and help us with the problem we were having. I highly recommend their company. Very honest and they really took the time to help me understand, 5 stars isn't enough for this company. read more

Excellent customer service! Our AC unit hadn't died completely, but was not performing as well as usual and I noticed Ice on the line going into the unit outside. I googled a bit first and cleaned my filter (which was pretty bad), but since it was going to be 100+ the next day I figured I should also get someone out to look at it. I called a few different people who either were not open yet or were already booked for the day, then I called Optimal and spoke with Amy. She was very knowledgeable and basically told me that I cleaning the filter had probably solved the issue and I should watch it for the day and save myself the service call fee. To clarify, though, it wasn't a blow off call. She was very re-assuring and kept my information in case things didn't go well and I needed them to come out later in the day. That evening the system had, in fact, performed well all day so I called her back to let her know. Again, very polite and sounded like she genuinely cared that it was working well. Fast forward to the next day and she texted me to check in and confirm that things were still working. How awesome is that!!! Definitely a level of service I am not used to and not the typical HVAC experience. If you have anything wrong with your AC and you are in their service area, I'd definitely call them first. I will from now on. read more

I had Optimal out to move my ac unit around to the side of my house. They had great communication from start to finish. They arrived on time, explained everything well and thoroughly checked my unit before they moved it. They explained how to maintain my unit without needing a service call. I am very pleased with the work they did and how polite and friendly they were. I felt very comfortable having them in my home. I highly recommend them for your ac and heating needs. read more
