Installed new HVAC system 2022. Good communication, workers respectful and efficient and clean. The owner Chris is honest and upfront. I recommend! No issues with our system. read more

I have been a customer of Chris' for many years. He's always been super efficient, upfront with cost, professional, prompt in availability even during heat waves, and has always been correct in the repairs needed. He's friendly and informative. We have had our AC replaced (I believe 2016) along with expected maintenance on both our AC and heater over the years. This week as we hit 100+ degree weather my thermostat needed replacing as my AC wasn't turning on and it was done promptly (next day) with reasonable cost and clear explanation of the problem. Highly recommend. read more

I was in the market to install central heat and air in my 1952 home. I had received several quotes and Chris from Perfect Air was the only company that contacted me immediately. He came out and gave me an estimate within a few days. The other two companies I was referred to took several weeks to even come out and give me a quote. I was so impressed with Chris's professionalism and his promptness. His crew showed up on time and within a day and a half they were completely finished. Did a fantastic job. I could not believe the work they did and the cleanup. I cannot say enough about this company. The equipment, quality products, price, all top notch!!! read more

Got here within an hour of my call on a Saturday to fix my a/c unit. Great communication, friendly, and had it fixed shortly after he arrived. I have a newborn at home so getting this problem solved quickly was important. Thank you so much! Highly recommend. read more

The initial phone response & conversation was reassuring that's for the 1 star. Other than that, The in-person consultation Chris provides is up charged to even climbing up a ladder but not enough to take notes of the model or parts that need replacing. There was no follow up until I asked, but he ghosts you with the same cop out response as the other 1 star rating individuals say about his companies insurances does not cover multi-built units/condo. QUESTION: Chris, you did see that our building was a condo and you did ask during initial phone conversation. Why did you not say this at that point? The man knows how to charge you, but does not know how to fix HVAC. read more

Our heat hadn't been working properly and we has company staying with us in a few days so we needed it fixed quick. After getting a yelp quote I called for an appointment and they were able to fit me in the next morning! They were very helpful in letting me know what the issue was and how to properly maintain our furnace. Would definitely recommend and will use them again. read more

Incredibly fast and professional service. Chris fixed our thermostat 30 minutes after I called him. Highly recommend

Need a Heating/Air Specialist? Look no further! I called Chris on the weekend as our heater went out before Christmas...he called me back within 20 minutes and was here the same day! We needed a new circuit board for our 11 year old heater. Chris ordered it the same day and was here by 10:30 Monday with the part and had it fixed by 11am! Chris is friendly, energetic, prompt. He works quickly and came in well under his original estimate! That is service oriented! Thank you Chris for making an unexpected repair as painless as possible. Customers for life. read more

Could not not have asked for better service! Chris and his crew helped us with a new AC / Furnace install. They showed up on time, worked fast and professionally, and were attentive in answering questions from my wife and me. I highly recommend them for installs or service! read more

Chris is responsive and up front with everything. The work was done quickly and cleanly with information being supplied all along the way. Would definitely recommend and use again. read more

Perfect Air provided amazing service at an affordable cost. I called Perfect Air on a Saturday (of a holiday weekend) and had Chris out at my home Sunday morning. Chris diagnosed the issue with my AC quickly and the repair was done in less than an hour. There was no upsell or expansion of service, nor a cost supplement for weekend visit. I would recommend Perfect Air to anyone needing service from someone they can trust. read more

after speaking with the owner regarding our miscommunication, he seemed to be very concerned about our review. I don't like writing bad reviews, fortunately, this review was not based on his actual work, it was just the missing ethics during the quote process. I'd say if we could reverse time and he would have had this conversation with us back then, this review may have been about my service instead of lack thereof. At the end of the day, everyone just wants to be treated with integrity. Yelp yourself! read more

My ac unit broke and I emailed Perfect Air and he responded back quickly. Therefore I called Chris and he made an effort to come out ASAP. My parents were so thankful. He knew exactly what the issue was and was in and out with our ac working again. Thanks Chris. read more

I just had Chris from Perfect Air install a new forced-air system in my house after my floor furnace (circa 1939) stopped working for the second time in 4 years. There comes a point where you just have to stop repairing and replace - and it was time. So, I got 3 bids, did my contractor interviews and eventually settled on Perfect Air because of the enthusiastic reviews the company has here on Yelp. Frankly, I like working with companies that "get" Yelp and how powerful customer reviews are for their business. Chris definitely gets it. He also did a fantastic job on my install, which involved running the gas line up the wall and into the attic for the new unit and placing 6 ducted registers so that ALL the rooms in my house now get warm air, not just the ones closest to the floor furnace. The guys from Perfect Air were extremely respectful of my house, they put down drop cloths and managed to not break anything (more than I can say for the electricians who did my rewire a few years ago.) The work took approx 1 day and then the inspector from the City of Long Beach came the next day. Chris showed up to be here when the inspector looked at his work and he (the inspector) commented, "I've been checking this young man's work for three years now, and I'm telling you; you have a winner." So, I give Perfect Air 5 stars and tell you that I'm a very pleased customer. I also added some of the photos from my new heater install. Warmth, glorious, warmth! read more

Installation #4 happened at the tail end of 2020. Quotes from competitors were a multiple of 2 to 3 times compared to the Perfect Air quote. Those quotes also came with installation timespan at 4 to 5 days. Chris visited in person and provided a written estimate within an hour. He delayed installation due to possible COVID infection within his team. I appreciate his cautious approach and focus on safety. The total installation took one and a half days. This was the most complex installation so far and the Perfect Air team was with me every step of the way providing pros and cons of various decisions. Perfect Air continues to be my top choice for HVAC installation. Many thanks for a quality job at a reasonable price. read more

Great service, professional and came on time! Also figured out how to fix our AC for a very reasonable price! Highly recommend.

Five stars is not enough for Chris!! I would give him 1000000000 stars if I could. Our air conditioner stopped working on the hottest day of the year. At night. On a Sunday. After calling 20 different places, the soonest repair we could find was a week out. I found Chris on yelp. He answered on the first ring and said he could be there at nine the next morning (which was a holiday no less!!). He was able to come even earlier and was very communicative about when he would arrive. He marched right in and diagnosed the issue without even looking - he could tell by the sound what was wrong. He had the part in his truck and fixed it in about 30 seconds. No joke. Almost immediately my air was as crisp and cold as the Swiss Alps. Chris is an angel sent from Heaven!! read more

Chris was awesome. AC broke right at the start of the Labor Day heatwave. I called him and he fit me in with my work schedule, was fast, and got my A/C up and working within a few minutes. Appreciate you coming on short notice and helping me out - will be sure to use your services in the future. read more

UPDATE: Chris thank you for your response to my review and for the additional information regarding my AC condenser and possible out of warranty replacement. I appreciate you providing this information despite my initially negative review. After conferring further, you did provide an estimate of $385 prior to beginning work - which we accepted. My apologies for this misstatement regarding your business practice. An increase of $25 over the original estimate seems reasonable to me. I will withdraw my BBB complaint. But I just can't get past the overall price. I feel taken advantage of not knowing ahead of time how much this AC service should cost. I cannot fault the service which was prompt and effective. I have revised my original review and my updated rating is based on price alone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Given the current CoViD situation, I thought I would support and go with a local small business for my recent central air conditioner service. Mistake on my part in going with Perfect Air. Chris, who I believe is the sole proprietor, responded very quickly when I filled out the service request on the website https://www.perfectair.biz/ and we quickly agreed on an appointment for the next morning, May 7, 2020. Chris told me he would charge $85 for the service call but would be credited against any work done. I was not able to be home when Chris performed the work. When he arrived Chris provided an estimate of $385 which my wife accepted, not knowing what a reasonable price for service should be. Upon completion the final price was $410 as more R410a coolant was needed than initially anticipated. I called Chris back that evening and asked if he could break down the charges. I asked him how much coolant he added to the system and all he could tell me was "a lot," and that anyone who said they actually measured how much coolant was added would be lying and that he "goes by feel." I pointed out to Chris that if I were licensed, I could purchase 25 pounds of R410a for about $200 and that meant even if used a whole canister (impossible for my 3.5 ton system - he probably needed to add only a few pounds), that he effectively charged more than $400/hour given he was there for less than 30 minutes. He became defensive and could only argue that we had already paid and that is "just the going rate." While he did get my AC blowing cold again, he charged at least double what it should have cost and took unfair financial advantage. What do you say? $410 for 1/2 hour labor and a few pounds of R410a? read more

Contacted them based on their ad that said they do emergency air conditioning repair. After I explained the problem...a faulty thermostat...they told me they don't do work on condominiums due to their lack of insurance to handle those types of buildings. It's not in their ad and this is Southern California the land of condos. read more

Super friendly but that $125 service charge was heartbreaking. He literally flipped the breaker switch and my unit was running again. I wish he would've asked us to check the breaker before scheduling the appointment but I understand this is his business. Lesson learned the hard way for new homeowners **insert sad face**. Update: So Chris, what is your standard service charge on cool non-holiday weekends? Since this is your justification for charging us $125 to flip a switch or repair our unit as you claim. read more

Tried to charge me almost 200 bucks to fix a simple electrical issue instead of a normal service call rate. He only wanted to do half of the job. What kind of service is that! Watch out, he will rip you off! Just had another company come and he charged me a diagnostic rate, which is normal. "Loose wire" is what he said. I was smart enough to not be ripped off and have this guy give me a price without looking at the problem. In his response he says my electrical was fried, but he did't even see my condenser. Don't ever do business with someone who won't diagnose the problem first and then give you a quote. I went to a different company and they came out fixed my loose wire. They even put my new wireless thermostat on. Cost me a 100 bucks. Everything is running great now. Not thanks to this guy. read more

My 1960 house needed a new furnace and we decided to get AC installed simultaneously. Chris gave me a very reasonable bid, and had the parts ordered the same day, with installation one week later. My house had the original, small 6 inch ducts. Chris made a big effort to put in much larger ducts to make the cooling effective. His crew did a great job working in the attic to replace all the old ducts. Chris is very mindful of customer preferences and works to make the job look nice as well as be highly functional. The new system works great and looks good. This is the second house where we used Perfect Air. That house had only a floor heater and needed a new AC/Furnace installed in the attic. Chris installed new ducts to each room and hid the unit in the attic. The system works great, so Chris knows how to plan the right size system for each house. Perfect Air does quality work. read more

Short Version: Perfect unless he has to come out again and fix his mistake. Long Version: He charged $90 to come out not $50 as advertised. He said he was squeezing me in and if I wanted the $50 deal I had to wait 1 week. Ok, I understand that. It's a business to make money. Great. He came out and said my unit wasn't wired right. For $150 (that included the $90 service call) he would fix the wiring. Good deal. Then he said I was out of refrigerant and it would be an extra $80 for a total of $230. Still fine with that. I have a friend with an HVAC company in San Diego and he said the pricing was in the ball park. I'm happy, It was a good deal. I was going to give him 5 stars. At night I tried to turn the AC off and it wouldn't turn off. I had to unplug it. I called him at 7:30, he picked up and said we would be there in the morning to fix it. Awesome! He shows up a little early, even better. He fixes the wiring and puts on HIS thermostat and tries to sell me HIS and says there was a short in the wiring and my thermostat is bad. I said fine put on my OTHER new one (both were new) and he wanted to charge $30 to put it on. Finally, he just puts on my OLD thermostat gets everything working and leaves pissed off, I'm assuming because he didn't get to charge me anything for his visit. I think the "bad wiring" was he just had my thermostat hooked up wrong. I am still giving him 3 stars because he was perfect all the way up until the end when it seems like he tried to take me for a new thermostat and charge me for fixing HIS mistake. read more

Chris was awesome. My AC stop working suddenly and having a newborn during the hot summer isn't fun. I was concern for her well-being. Lucky I was able to reach out to Chris 24/7 service. He came right away the next morning and fixed the problem. I highly recommend if your looking for a honest and fair A/C repair company. Thank you. read more

My parents have lived in their home in Anaheim for over 34 years without having the house air conditioned! For years my sister and I had urged them to spend a little money so they could be more comfortable in their home as they spend a majority of their time there. The response was always that it would cost too much to get something like that done. Their biggest "reason" for the imagined high cost is that they spend a majority of their time at home in the back room which is an add-on and assumed to cool down this room would be too much money. After playing around on the internet and specifically Yelp, I told my mom to call Perfect Air. Chris came out and did a thorough job explaining the whole process to my parents. During his evaluation process, he asked my parents about their back room as it was obvious that this was the main living area. My parents were hesitant to include this room in the bid, but when Chris showed them their total quote, my mother couldn't say yes fast enough. My father is a stickler on professionalism and timeliness. He said that Chris and his crew showed up on time, looked and acted like professional installion technicians and finished the project in the estimated timeline. It has been several months since this air conditioning installation of my parents entire home. There have been no issues. There have been no regrets. Although my parents at times might not use their new unit on warmer days, when my children and I come over to visit and state that it's a little too warm in the back room, once that switch is flipped the entire house in cooled down in SECONDS! Great job. Keep up the good work and I hope you have continued success. read more

I really appreciate the work Chris has done for us. We were having issues with our AC unit and Chris was able to give us a next day appointment. Not only that but he found a solution to our problem and within our budget. Very thankful considering summer is here. read more

**GREAT, PROMPT SERVICE, FAST AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING** I called for an AC repair first thing in the morning. The owner Chris was at my house in about an hour. He did a quick walk through, diagnosed the problem while explaining what he was doing. Chris actually had the part to get my AC working again stocked in his van. Less than 10min later, it was blowing cold. I paid the man he was gone. Total time of visit: MAAAAAYBE 20 minutes. I appreciate and will always pay for quick, prompt service. read more

I am a VERY picky person about service. When my AC died I called for several estimates. Perfect Air was friendly and competent on the phone. Service technician was on time and clean. Fixed the problem promptly. Final bill was close enough to the over-the-phone estimate (not bad considering the estimate was made based only on my description of the problem, not the technician's diagnosis). I would highly recommend them as being honest, prompt and competent. 5 stars. read more

Called Perfect Air and spoke to Chris. Not only was he short and rude, he refused service. What ever happen to customer service?? Regardless of what a the workload may be its is highly important a business ensures they maintain good customer service. read more

Perfect Air is the best heating and air conditioning business I have ever worked with. New purchase, repair or maintenance. They are simply the best and I have been using them and referring friends and family to them for over a decade now. Christopher the owner is 100% reliable and fair. He and his team go the extra mile to insure the highest degree of quality and extremely competitive pricing. These are your guys for everything heating and air conditioning. read more

Perfect Air is GREAT! I needed to get my AC/Furnace serviced. Chris was on time and quickly figured out what needed to be done. He didn't try to snow me and up-sell me something I didn't need. I highly recommend Perfect Air to provide a good value and good service. If you don't want a song and dance, but want high quality and reasonably priced service then you want Perfect Air. I have no doubt by my experience today that if I needed a new AC / Furnace, then Perfect Air would be where I'd go for no nonsense good service. Steve C. Aliso Viejo, CA read more

I called Chris at 6am on a Sunday because my A/C unit went out the night before (during a pretty good heat wave, no less). He called me back within about half an hour, showed up that morning, exactly when he said he would, diagnosed the problem, had the part on his truck, and made the repairs in a timely fashion. He was respectful, gave me some additional advice, and the job was done at a very fair price. I was hoping for a quick solution by an experienced HVAC company and Chris really delivered. Will recommend and use again! read more

Chris from Perfect Air came out to our house because our AC is under-performing, not cooling enough. He was only here about 15 minutes and checked out our AC when he said he didn't know what was wrong. Although he didn't charge us for the service call it would have been nice had he fixed the problem. I called another company who said our system was leaking coolant and the installer (not Perfect Air) used the wrong type solder which is why it is leaking. While he was here Chris did say he did not have time for this (visit)! Thanks Chris read more

When you need to call a HVAC company, call Chris at Perfect Air. He's fair, reasonable, knowledgeable and upfront. This review is long overdue but here's the skinny. Last summer, Aug 2014, our 25 year old AC condenser was crapping out and with two little girls could not afford to be without AC during those hot summer days. Went to yelp and found Perfect Air open on Sunday. Called Chris and came out same day to do an estimate. We talked for about an hour about all my options and his opinion on what's best for our home. Also told us about an industry wide issue going on at the time with TXV evaporators. He left and I called around to compare quotes. Price was fair and best part was Chris would have system installed in two days where bigger companies were booked up for weeks due to summer heat. In two days our brand new AC system was in and our girls were happy not having to sweat at night. Fast forward to last week. We were having issues with our AC not being able to cool the house down past 81. I called Chris on Tuesday and he said he was available on Friday so I said see you then. Chris called back a few hours later and said he could come out tomorrow if I'm free. I said sure! Chris was on time and started doing some tests while talking to Rudd customer service. They figured out it was the same evaporator issues that happened last summer so Chris injected AC Renew into the system as it's the recommended fix rather then replacing the TXV. 8 hours later it looks like my AC system is back to normal. Thank you Chris for being reliable, honest and trustworthy. Our family thanks you for working so hard to make customers happy. read more

Can't say enough good things about this company, and Chris. My ac shut off about two years ago during the busy season. He talked me through what to do to fix the problem over the phone, which worked....saving me at least a hundred dollars. He then came out the next morning on his own time and dime to make sure it was working correctly. I had another issue with my ac and apart from other companies, Chris responded right away and was able to come by the next morning, after again, talking me through some common problems and easy fixes, which unfortunately didn't work. He showed up on time and figured the problem out immediately. Chris is very knowledgeable,friendly, quick and fair. read more

Talk about no BS! Chris was very professional and prompt. Ran me through a few questions as to my issues with the AC unit. Showed up with parts in hand, fixed my AC! Now family is back in cool air and happy. I could not have been happier with this level of service. Thank you Chris! read more

Chris was helpful, knowledgeable, and flexible. He is clearly dedicated to ensuring his customers are satisfied and their systems are safe and efficient. I had a problem with my wall furnace. He went out of his way to meet my availability, fixed the problem, and took extra steps to realign the burners so they delivered a clean flame. I will definitely contact Perfect Air the next time I have heater issue, or if I decide to upgrade my system. read more

My A/C in my home quit working. I called Chris at 7:30am and he was at my house on time by 9:30am. He quickly fixed my ac by relplacing the capacitor which he had on his truck. $220 total for service call and repair. I'll use perfect air again. Thanks Chris! read more

Of course our ac unit died on the hottest day of the year so far and our insured vendor doesn't open on weekends. Chris answered the phone both late Friday night and early Monday morning. After trying our insured vendor 12 times with no answer during working hours, I called Chris and asked if he could help. He worked me in and was informative professional and helpful. I would recommend this company for any and all AC related issues. read more
