    Green Planet Heating and Air - New heat pump installation in Encino, CA

    Green Planet Heating and Air

    (201 reviews)

    Good golly, am I grateful for meeting the fine folks at GREEN PLANET!…read more * OH NO! MY OLD AC WIZARD RETIRED! Long story semi-short, my AC of 26 years had been on its last legs since about 2017... I'd been postponing the inevitable with R-22 recharge + leak sealant, with service from a older fellow whom I'd had a great relationship with, for almost a decade. Between 2020 and 2025, all seemed "tolerable" with my old Payne/Carrier AC + furnace. But last fall, it was clear my system had given up the ghost... and unbeknownst to me, the fabulous older gentleman who'd been coming here off and on for years, retired and moved out of state. I needed some new AC geniuses! Let the research and bidding/quoting madness begin! * FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESSES ARE BEST! I know everyone says "go local," and avoid things (giant franchises, etc.) that rhyme with "Bosco," for such an install (as well as gear sharing the first name of a famous 1990s-era heavyweight boxer w/the last name of Lewis). I'll let you imagine how that "almost" experience went... The FAMILY-OWNED business that is GREEN PLANET not only saved me heaps, but educated me about what would truly be needed, to go the "heat pump" route (my initial intention). Given that I have ancient, single-pane windows, and am in a tricky financial spot (I can't really upgrade my insulation to seal up the home to make a heat pump be 100% effective, let alone, replace windows), I ended up going with a rock solid, super efficient, side discharge AC condenser (due to vertical clearance limitations) and a new furnace (more details below). Nice! * "OFFICE" ETTIQUETTE Anyone curious about GREEN PLANET's "office" coordination... I wrote to Jay through their website... he phoned within an hour... I explained as best I could (background / issues / wants), he made an appointment to come out on Tuesday... He was on time, inspected the premises and advised... and his entire crew was out here THE NEXT DAY, taking care of business. I've had no AC since last September. (Though I've survived in here for 4 years without it, ages ago.) And now I'm CHILLIN'!!!!! (For PARENTS: I also appreciate the fact that the crew were extra aware of their environment, given that my son was home from school, sick; they were always mindful of him, in their midst.) * SOME INSTALLATION SPECIFICS A 2-ton unit was installed, replacing/upgrading from basically what I had... and my existing ducting is still rock solid, which also saved me some cash (by not needing new ducting). A wiring upgrade to accommodate the newer, more powerful/efficient unit... and DONE deal! * THANK YOU! Giant high five to Jay, Nola, the install leader Andre, and GREEN PLANET's fabulous crew! Can't thank you enough for your kindness, thoroughness, and awareness of economics :-) Dale PS: Their T-shirts are the COOLEST! (Pun?)

    We inherited an old 2009 Trane AC unit situated on a rooftop platform that wasn't up to code. After…read moresome research, we decided to switch to a ground-mounted heat pump. Green Planet provided a very competitive quote and handled the complex installation flawlessly. The Quote: They offered a high-quality product at a reasonable price, even with the added scope of electrical work. They also handled the permit process, which was essential for our rebates. Initial Inspection: We worked with Jay, who was professional and incredibly thorough. Unlike others, he took the time to properly inspect our electrical panel, furnace, and attic space. The Process: The project took about four days total over a two-week span (two days for installation, plus one afternoon each for the HERS and City inspections). Green Planet scheduled all inspections for us, making it stress-free. Heat Pump: We got the AC Pro XB Series heat pump. Specs met all rebate requirements for max refund. Payment: The schedule was fair--a $1k deposit, 50% upon delivery, and the final balance once the unit was installed. Paperwork: They provided all paperwork necessary for heat pump rebate. Green Planet was a great choice in term of product and service, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a heat pump installation.

    I have been having issues with my HVAC for years, where there has been a musty smell, despite an…read moreannual maintenance being in place. So I decided to try a different company for this maintenance. The experience was beyond what I expected. The appointment was made with ease and all my questions were answered with patience and clarity. Robert came to do an inspection and showed me photos of the state of my system. There were areas that had clearly not been cleaned properly previously. He did a thorough inspection, and cleaning and went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable, respectful and his work ethic was excellent. I could smell the difference for the first time in years and the house finally no longer had a musty smell. It smells fresh and clean. I can't say how grateful I am. Thank you So Cal Air and THANK YOU, Robert!!!

    I had four different companies come out to provide estimates for branching off an existing HVAC…read moresystem to add a new supply vent to an interior room. Robert handled the initial evaluation and was very thorough and professional. Although So Cal Air's estimate was not the cheapest, it was the most comprehensive--including drywall patching and painting--which ultimately made me feel the most comfortable moving forward with them. Other companies either tried to upsell me on a UV lighting system or suggested opening up the entire hallway ceiling, which felt excessive for the scope of work. After accepting the estimate, there was a delay of over two weeks before I was contacted to schedule the service, and I do think communication during that time could have been improved. That said, once they reached out, they were able to schedule the work for the very next day. Victor and his crew were professional and efficient, completing the job in about half a day. They left the space clean, and the overall quality of work met my expectations. Thank you, So Cal Air!

    I've used Solenergy for a number of years for HVAC related work for my home and at a rental…read moreproperty. I've always appreciated their responsiveness, attention to detail, and reasonable rates. With the continuously increasing electricity rates by GWP, I turned to Solenergy for a rooftop solar panel quote. For a number of reasons, I did not want to lease a system and end up having another payee every month for the next 20 some years (in addition to GWP). I also didn't want someone else to "own" my roof for the life of the system, which would not be favorable if/when I chose to sell my home. Rafi, the owner, came out and took extensive measurements of my roof and noted the slopes and heights of parapet walls. My roof is quite complex as I have a 55-degree slope in some parts and "flat" portions that slope in one or up to 3 directions. I also provided him with 12-months' worth of utility bills so he could analyze my usage. The next time we met, he had calculated the number of panels I needed (37) and had superimposed them on aerial photos of my roof. Final placement though was subject to some shading/shadow analysis he said he'd have to do along with approval by the city and fire dept. His final quote included the system cost along with my expected GWP rebate and tax credit ("verify with your accountant"). I was particularly concerned about holes being made in my roof and the risk of water leaks. Rafi showed me the different types of anchors/brackets that he was going to use for the flat portions and the sloped portions of the roof. He wasn't dismissive of my concerns whatsoever and thoroughly explained how the anchors worked and why I should not worry about leaks. The quality of the parts was readily apparent to this former engineer. After approval and permits were obtained by Rafi, he began installation. It all went very smoothly. Rafi did some parts of the job by himself and brought in crew members for other aspects (wire runs and panel installs). I told him my goal was to have the install completed before January 1st. Occasionally, I would go onto the roof to check out the progress and Rafi would explain the system and what I was looking at. He completed the job in late December and the city inspector signed off and approved everything on 12/31/14! GWP installed the solar meter about 1 week later and it's been wonderful watching my GWP utility meter turn backwards (digital arrow moving towards the left)! I'm very happy with the work done by Solenergy. Rafi is very detail oriented and committed to doing a top quality job. When he couldn't work on my roof due to rain, he would make material runs and then work over the weekend (weather permitting). The heavy rains and strong winds we had this December also allowed me to see first-hand that none of the anchors caused roof leaks and the installation was rock solid - just as Rafi had assured me. The areas surrounding my house were always kept clean and tidy throughout the job. I also purchased a monitoring system that allows me to check the kWh produced during the day. Rafi delivered what he promised and I highly recommend him and Solenergy!

He was very reasonable, honest, timely, communicative, pleasant, and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better job and recommend him most highly. RG
