We used Allied Aire service to repair/maintain our AC unit. it was very difficult getting any HVAC company to respond to our phone calls as we are in a severe heat wave at this time, but Allied called me back promptly and had a tech available in reasonable period of time. The tech showed up exactly on time, Richardo, and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it, all within 60 minutes. He then did a check of the entire system and made a few other maintenance recommendations. Ricardo was knowledgeable, polite and helpful. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend them. read more

I just spent $2500 fixing problems caused by the shoddy installation from Allied Aire several years ago. If you use this company, make sure that the code inspector from the city inspects the work. read more

Ended up getting 4 quotes for a new furnace & add AC to our home. Arnie was by far the most communicative and reliable of the lot and worked hard to earn our business. Allied Aire was also the only one able to get us a *significant* rebate from PG&E which ended up being even better then initially quoted which I have to admit seemed "too good to be true" when he first told me about it. All the other companies quoted much smaller rebates, but later ended up admitting they couldn't even get us that in the end. When it came to the install, the crew was totally awesome and made sure not to let out our two cats. While in the crawl space they found some rats which had decided to move in and eat our ducts! This ended up throwing the whole install up in the air as now there was no way to pass the HERS test that is required by law. Long story short, we were finally able to get rid of the rats the week before Christmas and Arnie was able to sneak us into his schedule and install new ducts so we could have heat over the holidays. Honestly, I can't image a better HVAC company then Allied Aire. My wife and I are extremely happy with our new system and the service that Arnie and his team provided. read more

I met one of their sales reps at the Berryessa Flea Market of all places. I had been considering replacing my 15 year old mismatched AC and Furnace for many years because it was an amateurish installation (AC not even bolted to anything) and the condenser was 24" for a 20" furnace. On top of that, the drain tube didn't have enough angle to properly drain water so sometimes it would plug up and spill water in my garage. This all not to mention that I believe my old AC was a SEER 8, about half or less current modern AC efficiency ratings. The XR16 I went with is a SEER 14.5 and with variable speed fan it is supposed to go up to 16 SEER. Anyway I met with Scott, their sales rep a couple of times this month (Dec) and did my own research. I decided that what I wanted was a Trane XV95 and an XR16 AC with a WiFi Thermostat. I promised not to mention the quoted price but I can say that about a year earlier I had a quote for Carrier equipment that was a couple thousand more than this quote for high-end Trane. I decided to pull the trigger and go for it as well as get all the work permitted and inspected. I also added the Air Cleaner add-on for the furnace. The XV95 is super efficient and quite and since it is so efficient, it must be vented through a PVC vent; it cannot be vented through the old metal style furnace roof vents. Allied Aire professionally capped off my old vent and ran a new one out the side of the house. It looks fine and no complaints. The furnace is so quite that it never wakes me up like my old Ruud furnace did when it came on in the middle of the night. The work was just completed as I write this and I am waiting for final inspection. After seeing their team and the work they have done, I have zero doubt that it will pass with flying colors. Oh and if you want to do inspection as I did, which I do recommend, it was an extra 700$ or so fee from the inspectors. I am super happy with the clean install and the professionalism of the team. Their work is top notch. I'm not sure how to attach a picture here but if you want one just ping me on yelp. If I were to complain about anything it was the fact that I made a deal on some equipment with the sales rep and then when the folks came they told me the Trane furnace was 40" tall and I probably didn't have enough space so I should go with a Bryant furnace. After I said I don't want to go forward with anything unless I get the equipment I wanted, then they came back and measured again and they did come up with a new solution. I honestly don't think they were jerking me around as the space was a bit tight and the new solution was to run one of the ducts to the back of a box instead of through the top. This actually worked out well and the install is near perfect as far as I can tell. They came back to seal all my registers throughout the house and now we are all set for inspection. These HVAC companies don't get a lot of business in winter time so if you want to save a few bucks, wait until then to do the work. P.S. The Trane AC unit is much larger than my last Carrier unit, do your homework on dimensions before you pic your AC. I had plenty of room but some folks may not. read more

Solid outfit! They turned my AC repair request around in 4 hours, which was great because it was HOT today. They did my original install without a hitch more than 10 years ago, and my Dad's as well 6 months before that, journeymen level service. Thanks to them my pets and I won't be roasting tonight. read more

Allied Aire Service is a company that was referred to me by clients and I have referred many times to other clients and the feedback was always very good. Now I had occasion to use them and I am just amazed with the service I got. Jim worked on the compressor and cleaned it out completely, fixed it, helped me clean my ceiling vents and advised on how I can get clean airflow with a few inexpensive changes. Punctual, knowledgeable, neat, cleaned-up, brought all the tools needed including the right top for the hose, friendly and fast. And all that for a very good price. read more

It's hard to describe how great a job Allied Aire did installing our new furnace and air conditioning system. It was a big job, from the ducts to the ceiling returns. Every single thing that Arnie told me came to fruition ... everything on time, the technicians were terrific, everything was kept clean and tidy, my every question answered, and the finished job is as professional as it gets. The job was billed exactly as quoted. We would recommend Allied Aire to anyone, anywhere. read more

I am a general contractor and a thrifty person who does his research and contacted several top rated (Checkbook magazine and Yelp) furnace and ac firms in the San Jose - San Francisco area to look at my furnace and give me a bid for replacement if needed. Of the four companies that came out, Bob at Allied Aire was the only one who gave me the impression that he was looking out for my needs and what was best for me as opposed to what was best for the furnace company. He suggested some repairs that could be made instead of replacement and also gave me the best bid for replacement (about $1800 for replacing existing gas downdraft 15 year old unit with a similar one) if that was required . Allied Aire is also top rated (2 checks) on Checkbook magazine. read more

I have a five year old Trance furnace that recently couldnt come on. I tried calling the origanl installer but they were 3 weeks out in calls. I contacted Allied and they were out in a day and a half. The service man Bob was there on time and had fixed the probalem in about 40 minutes. Apparently the gas jets were corroded from moisture which blocked the flow of gas to some of the burners. Price was very reasonable as well. I had tried to troubleshoot this on my own but with no success. Am really glad I found these guys. read more

Called to have our Aprilaire electronic air filters yearly service. Person taking my request order was professional, knowledgeable about what type of filter we needed and quoted service charge. I requested service technician be prepared to vacuum inside of filter housing as well as installation of filter. Ed arrived, went right to work. He cleaned the entire housing, vacuumed the box, washed the housing and replaced the filter. This service was exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

I was referred by a long time client and needed an inspection of my a/c system which is very old and not working well. The original appt went well and I was very impressed with the tech. I asked for an estimate for repair and to replace. That was June 5. As of July 9, I only received 1 of the 2 estimates to replace I asked for. Nothing in writing. I've called several times, spoke to Arnie who said he'd resend a tech to get me a 2nd estimate for a ductless system. But that never happened. Allied could have just told me they did not want to do the job. Maybe they are too busy. I would not have been happy but I would have understood. But they could even extend me that courtesy. This a/c is at my business and I have insurance which might pay for either the cost of repair or replacement. The insurance co. also needed to speak with the original tech or Arnie but they also called several times and never got a return call. At this point I am moving to replace the entire system and have found another company. Allied lost my business and also the long time client who referred me. I guess business must be really good for Allied right now because they treated me like they could not give a bucket of you know whats. read more

Arnie came on time to inspect furnace and provide an estimate. Unit was delivered and installed on time and by a knowledgeable and professional staff. They had to squeeze the old furnace out of a small square opening in the attic and lift the new unit in place. They did this flawlesslessly and without any collateral damage. The brand they sell, TRANE, is highly reliable. It has been working flawlessly. read more

In 2004 we contracted with this company to install an air conditioning system. However, it was not until this year that during a renovation of our kitchen that we discovered that Allied Aire had failed to cap the condensate line and had incorrectly routed the drain in such a way that it could not drain the water. The effect of this was to dump a continuous pool of water under the house that eventually created a Stachy mold condition that required a very expensive abatement treatment. The company has repeatedly refused to stand behind their work. At first they denied that it was their work, but after sending employees out to check, admitted that some employees who no longer worked for them may have caused the problem, but that he still did not intend to reimburse us for our costs to correct the shoddy workmanship or its distartrous effects. I definitely would caution others when considering this company. read more
