Dan is simply one of the most genuine, honest and artisan craftsmen with heaters and a/c's. We've known Dan for a few years now. Prior to meeting him, we've had many encounters with sanke-oil salespeople who are invested in selling rather than solving your problem. He's been servicing our A/C and heater for a while now, and most recently he replaced both for us. The quality is top-notch, and he finished in a timely manner as perscribed. Dan is a true gentleman and man of few words, and he will present the truth both in terms of what is needed, how much it costs, and how long it would take to get it done. I wish every business owner carries the values that Dan exudes. He exudes true American value in terms of service quality and honesty. If you have issues with HVAC, call Dan and no one else. read more

Dan did an absolutely fantastic job on our project. We hired him to install a/c for our 2nd floor, since previous owners of our house had only installed it on the first floor. Dan specced out and installed a single new Mitsubishi heat pump that was capable of cooling both floors, installed new matching air handlers for both floors, ran new wiring for the 1st floor thermostat, and installed a new air return for the first floor since our existing one was undersized. This ended up being a 2w effort since Dan was short an expected helper, but he was here every day working hard and did a great job of keeping us informed of the progress. He ran into a few issues, but whenever he did he approached me with proposed solutions already in mind to get my approval. Dan was easily one of the best contractors we have ever used, and we would gladly use him again and recommend him to others. read more

Dan, the owner was fantastic ! He was able to order, and install a part for my heater within 2 days. I would highly recomment this company. His prices were very good too. read more

Needed a A/C repair and my regular, contracted service was not available for over a week. I wanted repair now. Checked reviews and called South Bay. Fortunately they just had a customer move out an A/C install and Don could come right out. After a thorough exam he diagnosed the problem (clogged condensate line) and repaired it on the spot. After clearing the problem he gave the system a complete checkup. Don Perez of South Bay Heating & Cooling is our new HVAC tesam. Great job. read more

Dan is awesome! Professional, punctual and reasonable price. I had a small job to connect wall heater to the vent on the roof. He got the part and got it done quickly. Very detailed invoice. Would def use Dan again for other needs! read more

I'd give Dan 10 stars if I could... He responded within 15 minutes of my calls... Was courteous, very informative, and did something that proves that he's not just out to make money. I've had other contractors recommend a complete control board replacement for my furnace problem and Dan initially agreed, but spent some time reviewing other possibilities. He then picked up a new board but still felt that it might not be necessary and continued to check other interlocks, such as gas valve, temperature, sensors, and pressure sensors. he was finally able to isolate the problem to the pressure sensor which he replaced instead of the entire board. this saved over $400 additional cost... That's what I call a true professional approach to troubleshooting. Hire this guy... You won't be sorry! read more

Dan installed a split Mitsubishi heat pump in my two-story house. His quote was slightly lower than two others I got, but he was located only a few miles from where I lived, and he was very highly rated on Yelp. So I went with him. Dan is a one-person operation, so the installation took almost two weeks. But he let me know this in advance. Dan was very polite and thoughtful. He did a very thorough and professional job. He cleaned up after every day of work. He also worked on Saturday. It is obvious that Dan has installed Mitsubishi heat pumps before. We are delighted with the result. read more

Daniel was super helpful and honest with fixing our old furnace. We called yesterday and he came by today (on time and with a mask). He was able to get our furnace started and up and running in just 10 minutes. And showed us how to do it ourselves. We appreciated that he was straightforward and didn't try to make a sale which we often feel pressured by in these scenarios -- to replace an old system that may or may not be working. Thank you! read more

Great quality work at a reasonable price. Very professional. I needed to replace my a/c compressor and furnace. Dan was very helpful in explaining my various options. Once I settled on a choice, we were able to schedule the installation. They even went the extra mile when one of my parts were not going to be delivered in time for the install date by driving to an alternate supplier to personally pick it up. The quality of the work was top notch and great care was taken even for the simplest of things such as wrapping insulation around the piping. I prefer to use local businesses whenever possible. I am glad I chose South Bay Heating and Cooling. read more

Have used Dan's services twice so far, first for a new furnance+AC installation, and 2nd for AC repair at my 88 year old mother's house - during a heat wave. Dan's service was prompt and reasonably priced. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I got 5 bids for AC. I liked Daniel's bid because after comparing what everyone said, he offered the best solution for the price. He then installed on the scheduled day. My neighbor that knows plumbing and air commented that his job looked very good, very neat. Working with Daniel was a pleasure. And I know he worked really hard on this job and it's much appreciated. read more

My 94 yr old dad's AC unit stopped blowing cold air, so we checked with our original guy from 6 years ago who installed it, who told us we'd have to replace the whole thing at a cost of $4k. (My dad was in total shock about that, so I told the guy we will get a 2nd opinion.) - Thankfully, after doing some research, I found South Bay Heating and Cooling here on Yelp, and the company's owner Dan came by the same day I called him to give us an estimate. He told us he could actually repair the unit (no need to replace it) by installing a new capacitor and provide additional fixes to a leaked coolant chamber, recharging the capacitor, etc., and was able to finish the job the next day at a fraction of the cost of a new unit and added 2 years of warranty to the parts and labor. Dan was just really knowledgable, helpful, humble, friendly, very thorough with explaining things, and it was amazing how timely he was with his service. Very quick turnaround on this job, to our relief, as I was worried my elderly dad wouldn't have a working AC this summer. Btw, my dad has dementia and was kinda looking over Dan's shoulder now 'n then while he worked, repeating the same questions a lot, (a common issue with dementia), but I really appreciated the patience Dan showed my dad...just friendly answers to dad's questions, with no judgement or frustration. Dan is clearly a compassionate person..it was so nice that he understood my dad's issues, and I was relieved that all went well too in addition to the repair work! ;-) BIG thanks to Dan for doing such an awesome job for an affordable price! We now consider him our go-to heating/cooling pro, (and we crossed the previous guy off our list!) read more

,We had South Bay Heating and Cooling replace out Heat and Air Conditioning systems as well as all the air ducks. They were efficient, neat, and did a great job. We are so pleased that we can enjoy air conditioning is our upstairs bedrooms thanks to South Bay recommending we split upstairs and downstairs. Wish we would have done this years ago. They are reasonably priced compared to other Heating and Cooling companies. I highly recommend this company for family, friends, and anyone else. read more

Our AC stopped working during the last heat wave. We had used South Bay Heating & Cooling before so we reached out to Dan. He gave us a time and was a few minutes early. He took care of the issue quickly. Dan is very professional, does high quality work, and his rates are reasonable. read more

I have to say... They are the best! Dan is a very professional, courteous, and honest person. He installed or unit in 2016. We had some problem with it this summer and we're unable to get a hold of Dan for a few days. As soon as he realized that we trying to reach him, Dan called us, scheduled and appointment, was here on time, and took care of the issue. What's more surprising is that for two visits and some parts that he had to order, I received an invoice with no charge . Unheard of these days. Also he's very respectful of the customers time, is a clean worker, wore a mask the entire time..... Really, really good guy. Needless to say, I would ( and already have) recommend South Bay Heating and Cooling in a heartbeat. read more

Great Service, Great prices! Dan from South Bay Heating and Cooling was courteous, reliable - very professional. We had new AC/Heating units installed in our 100 year old house and he did a great job! I had never had heat or air upstairs - what a wonderful thing that is! I highly recommend Dan and his services. read more

Excellent! I highly recommend Dan! Our furnace died and I called several heating companies to see who could come help us (quickly). A recent rescheduling had opened up Dan's schedule, and he started the next day! We had heat the day after that! Dan was on time, reasonably priced and very easy to have around the house! We will definitely call him again! read more

Dan replaced my heater and ducting. His work was excellent. I highly recommend his services.

I used South Bay Heating & Cooling twice. Dan is great to work with and on both occasions he did an outstanding job. First job was to fix duct attachment to several vents in the house as they were leaking air. They secured all duct ends to the vents boot and sealed the edges with foaming material which insured that the cool/heated air were not wasted in the crawl space. The second job was to install a duct loop solution to reduce the noise level when the furnace is running as the return was very close to the furnace. After he finished the duct work, the noise level went down from 60 dB to 45 which reduce the noise by more than half. Again the job was done on time and with high quality. read more

We have done three projects by South Bay Heating and Cooling recently: Changed our ducts in the entire house, installed a Mitsubishi mini split AC/heating, tuned up our house AC system. 1. Reasonable prices. 2. On time starting & finishing. 3. Excellent and very neat works. 4. Good customer services - came back to do the temperature balance. read more

The most deserved 5 stars I could ever give. Typically when it comes to any contractor work I'm a little cautious that somebody isn't taking me on a run for my money (home improvement, car repairs, etc.). Always a fear that someone is shooting some outrageous quote for shoddy work. My experience with Dan and South Bay Heating and Cooling was the complete opposite of what I was used to. Dan was 100% transparent with a-z of this transaction. Its been extremely cold lately, and we find out our furnace isnt working. We give Dan a call and he comes over and gives a full inspection and diagnosis of the issue. He has extensive knowledge of the failure rates of specific units, the life expectancy of each part, and a rough estimate of how much each part costs to replace. After communicating all this information to me, he gives us his expert opinion based on his findings. Cracked pipe, possibly broken gas valve, and possibly broken motherboard(all of which was shown to me and explained in detail). Suggestion was to go with the full repair which would replace the whole furnace since our furnace was beyond the normal life expectancy anyways. Was bound to fail at any time. Dan is a busy guy and has quite a lot of work on his hands but he scheduled us as soon as possible the for the following week to save us from the freezing cold. He went over the pros and cons of each option and we went with the two stage gas valve because it fits our usage habits. After just two and a half days we have our new furnace and AC replaced and working 10x better than the old one. While going through the inspection Dan also noted some problem areas, rat droppings, holes gnawed open by rats, possible areas where air leaks out and he helped us address them all! Really went above and beyond just the heating and cooling issue. After the work was complete, he went over maintenance and how to operate the new thermostat. Bottomline: really impressed with the quality of the work. Respects the house. Respects our dogs despite their feistiness. An extremely pleasant person to work with. Couldnt have asked for a smoother installation. 10/10. If you want a transparent and honest expert for the job, I would absolutely recommend Dan from South Bay Heating and Cooling! read more

I would like to add yet another GLOWING review for this company! Dan, from South Bay Heating and Cooling, came out today, after I had requested (by phone) a consult about the possibility of some work needed regarding my HVAC system. Dan arrived on time, followed the Covid-19 guidelines, and then set about checking out my concerns regarding some possible work needed connected with my HVAC system. Dan answered all of my questions in a very understandable manner. Bottom line, he indicated that in his opinion, work is really not needed at this time. He made some suggestions regarding proper maintenance of my HVAC system. He was polite, friendly, and highly professional! I absolutely see why his company has received so many 5-star reviews. Thank you, Dan and South Bay Heating and Cooling! read more

Dan showed up within 30 mins of the first call! Well guess one can call that luck but he was careful in finding and fixing the issue at hand (burnt out igniter) which luckily he even had a spare one at hand, which was great. Overall very professional and definitely would recommend. read more

Used South Bay Heating and Cooling on several occasions, from A/C repairs to wall heater furnace; professional, knowledgeable, and quality. Would highly recommend for all your heating and cooling needs. Dan is the best hands down. read more

Excellent service and professional skills. Trustworthy personality and fair pricing. Guarantees work!

Our furnace stopped working and after calling about sixteen folks only to be greeted with either voice mail or a "we can come by in three weeks", I stumbled upon South Bay Heating and Cooking. Dan actually picked up the phone when I called (something that is increasingly rare) and said he could be there in forty minutes. He showed up exactly when he said he would (in fact a few minutes earlier). After inspecting the furnace and taking it apart, he identified the core problem (a broken part). Dan took the time to explain the exact issue. He needed to order the replacement part, which sous take s day, and said he could come once he got it to finish the job. The following day he arrived (again early!) and about half an hour later we had heat in our house. Dan was the consummate professional, identified the core issues, and never once tried to upsell me on anything I didn't need. What more can you ask for? Overall it was a superlative experience. Dan really came through when we were in a bind. My only hesitancy in writing a five star review is that if I have any future issues and call Dan, I want him to be available! read more

AC started blowing warm air on a warm Friday night. Called/emailed South Bay and Dan came out the next morning. Quickly diagnosed the capacitor issue and replaced it. Problem solved. Back to enjoying the weekend. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fast response. A well deserved 5 star. read more

Thumbs up for Dan! I called for the AC tuneup. He fixed a few small things and charged a very reasonable price. He is very laid back. Will certainly recommend to others and hire for future projects. Thank you! read more

Dan from South Bay Heating and Cooling was referred to us by our neighbors. He installed a new furnace at our house in 2018. His charges was reasonable and the work was superb. We hired him to install a heating and cooling system for my parents' house and a rental house. We highly recommend his service. read more

When it comes to new HVAC installation, my priorities were HVAC brand(reputation of quality, durability, warranty, etc), performance of Air Conditioner, cost of installation and the contractor(quality of installation and workmanship). I met with 7 different contractors with four different brands(Carrier, Bryant, Mitsubishi, Lennox) and I picked Dan Perez with Bryant unit. Dan met or exceeded my expectations on all aspects especially on the installation quality and his workmanship. In my opinion, the most important aspect of the AC installation is selecting the right contractor. read more

This is the second time we have used South Bay Heating and Cooling. I am giving the highest recommendation for Dan. He is easy to get a hold of, clean, took pictures of what he was talking about and was very knowledgeable. Nothing like getting a true professional to handle something like your homes heating system. You will not be disappointed. read more

Very helpful. Have been consistently using them since 2006. Dan will carefully diagnose the problem and explain everything (if you want to know). Fixed both A/C and furnace problems over the years. Dan will also explain how to help make your equipment last longer (filters, cleaning, etc ...), and what to expect. read more

AC failed, covered with ice. Called them in the morning and they came out right after lunch. Fixed it in 30 min at a really reasonable price. read more

We may have been one of Dan's first reviews and continue to be faithful customers. He always does a great job!

Daniel from South Bay came the day after we called. Other A/C repair places we called couldn't come for a week during the heat wave. He was on time, had the part we needed and quickly did the repair. It was a lifesaver. read more

Dan is my go to guy for all my and my clients' HVAC needs. I found him when I was doing a major remodeling and wanted to move our furnace upstairs in the attic. I interviewed about 10 businesses. Dan striked me as honest, fair, trustworthy, reliable and he turned out to be all of these and more. He pulled the permit, he had his team suited up in the right gears for the work. They cleaned up and we passed the air pressure test in one try. Because Dan did the work, I never have to worry about it not working correctly and when I had questions, he was always available to answer or come over to check. Dan should be your HVAC guy too. read more

I'm looking at the reviews on the sidebar...who is K B.? Because that's exactly what I was going to write! So to keep it short, I agree with K B.! Dan, you deserve all the accolades I'm seeing here on Yelp. read more

Very easy to schedule online - with immediate follow-up with available openings. Dan arrived early! Very polite, friendly and attentive to details (showed up with booties on!) He assessed the situation and made a quick fix. Very much appreciated on a hot day. Will definitely use South Bay Heating and Cooling again, if needed. read more

My furnace wouldn't turn on Monday night. I called Dan the next morning, and he was able to come out less than 2 hours later. He diagnosed the problems and let me know what they were but pointed out that the furnace was over 30 years old and would likely to have other failures. He presented all of the options clearly and worked with my constrained schedule to get it replaced by the end of the week. He was professional to work with. I've already recommended him to a friend and would call him if I ever wanted to add AC or other improvements to my system. read more
