Very impressed with Dave. Knowledgeable, honest, thorough, efficient, and courteous. I have two old (circa 1967) forced air furnaces in my house. After we had the house fumigated this summer, SDG+E red-tagged one of them for soot/possible CO leak. I have done some maintenance on the furnaces over the years (replaced gas valves, drive belts, etc.) but figured I was in over my head on this one. Enter Dave. I was fully expecting him to tell me I had a cracked heat exchanger and the unit was shot, but after looking it over, he told me the heat exchanger was fine and the carbon was just from the pilot and not a problem. He gave it a good cleaning, taped up some joints in the plenum, fired it up, checked the flame, and measured CO in the air stream. All good. Then he volunteered to check the other one. I told him about a couple issues the other one had including an intermittent delayed ignition and sticky fan switch. The delayed ignition turned out to be a misaligned pilot, and he unstuck the fan switch. Another cleaning, some more tape and everything was good to go. Two furnaces set to rights in an hour and a half for 210 bucks. The man knows his bidness. If/when I have further HVAC issues I know who I will be calling. read more

Specialized Mechanical did a bang-up grand job of finding a difficult to diagnose problem that only happened on occasion. Dave Perez, their technician was persistent, starting the heater over and over until he got it to fail so he could determine the source of the problem. He had to order the part unfortunately, but it came quickly and he returned to get it installed right away. He is a very friendly, professional gentleman of the highest caliber. I have to say, his visit and insistence getting to the bottom of this problem was a breath of fresh air, as our insurance company had first sent Quality Mechanical who found no trouble on the first visit, but insisted it needed a $97 cleaning (not covered by insurance). On the second visit, he insisted the problem was a part that I was positive had nothing to do with the problem we were experiencing. Of course, it failed again after he left. We refused a third visit from them, paid the insurance company the deductible to send someone other than Quality, and lucked into Specialized and Dave. They have our highest recommendation.

As long as Jon is still working in HVAC, I will never ever call anyone else. Specialized Mechanical has saved me a bundle of money twice now, once for the air conditioning unit at my house and the second time for the furnace at my office. Trust me, I called several different HVAC repair companies when my air conditioning wasn't working and Jon was definitely the most prompt to return my calls and gave me by far the most reasonable price for the repair job. It's amazing that some companies can get away with charging three times the amount that Jon charges for a job that he does quickly and exceedingly well, and still be in business. I think it's pretty rare to come across such an honest person in this line of work and, as a customer, I really appreciate the fact that Jon never tries to up-sell but always tries to find you the best and most economical way of fixing something. Go with Jon of Specialized Mechanic once and I'm sure you will never need another HVAC repair company. read more

My house has been a ice locker all winter, we have had two companies out to look at the equipment. The first company that came out showed up 2 hours late and said they could not fix or work on the system but it should be replaced. Not to mention the insane cost they wanted to do the work. The second company was a bit better as they tried to fix the equipment for couple hours but no luck. I was giving up to old man winter when I checked into the Yelp site and found Specialized Mechanical. OMG I love these guys!!! The system did not have to be replace, but there were two parts to be replaced, they ordered the parts and were back in two days!! Wala we have heat again!! Jon and Dave are wonderful to work with! Excellent communication, knowledge.... and professionalism. We have found our go to guys for heating and air. Oh ya thanks for finding me a honest plumber JON!!! read more

We had four furnace repair/replacement companies come look at our gas furnace which had stopped working on Christmas Day. The first company told us it couldn't be fixed and tried to get us to sign up that day for a replacement, and the next two wanted to sell us replacements at a cost of $1500-$2000. When Jon arrived he just got to work and quickly replaced a couple of parts he thought were the culprits. While it turned out they weren't, he did find the problem ( a tiny safety device that looked like it may have been tripped because the filter was dirty) and he uninstalled the new parts and charged us only $200 for the whole repair. He said we'd likely get another 5 years out of our furnace! I would highly recommend Jon and his team as they were professional, direct, quick and honest. read more

Great company. I got lucky because I've never had a heating problem so I was taking a wild shot in the dark trying to find a good heating company to fix my heater. The same day I called they came out to my home within a couple hours and fixed the problem. They were very reasonably priced. John was very nice to work with. A couple days later my heater started acting up again and David came out and fixed it (free of charge). It was just a little adjustment that was needed. I was honestly amazed they didn't charge me again! Most companies will try and get every penny they can from you. I highly recommend this company because they are great at what they do and have a great work ethic. read more

GREAT service!!! AC went dead on Thursday... I called first thing at 8:10am on Monday (after 4th of July!), and Jon called me back at 10:45 and said he could be at our house in a half hour! Here by 11:30, out by 12:30, and we have cold air!!! Jon not only fixed our AC, but gave me tips on how to keep the house cool (reducing dust, having the fans blow air up and around, how often to change filters, etc). SO helpful, WAY more than we expected. Jon was prompt, responsive, very personable, and extremely professional. Hopefully we won't have any more problems, but if we do... I know who to call!!! THANK YOU!!! read more

This company knows customer service! Starting from the phone call to set up the appointment, to the service man "John" coming out was a complete breeze. They were willing to work within our budget and were extremely informative as far as our unit, and what exact issues we were having. Our AC is running PERFECTLY now, all thanks to John! His service, and customer skills are something to brag about! Specialized Mechanical Heat & Air is lucky to have a guy like him on their team. Thank you for the awesome service guys!! We will most certainly be using you in the future!! read more

Excellent professional service. Our heating furnace went bad. We emailed specialized mechanical. Jon promptly replied back and addressed all the questions we had. On service day, call in advance when in route and be on time. Very professional. Quickly identify the problem, fix it and charge what it should be. Best price and very reasonable. Provide advice on how to maintain heating furnace and AC. Very helpful. Will definitely refer Jon to our friends when they need HVAC repair service. Trustful. read more

This company is by far the best for HVAC service!!! They are fair in pricing and FAST!! My A/C stoped cooling in this horrible heat we've been having, so i called Specialized Mechanical to schedule a appt. I thought for sure i would have to wait a week to get service. Nope they came out the very next day!!! I was so happy and the price was extremely reasonable. They seem to be very honest and true to their work. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone in need of HVAC repair or installation. read more

Hire these people!!! After reading the positive reviews on Yelp to help me decide who to call to fix my furnace, I was thrilled to have called Specialized Mechanical. They were very quick to respond, and Dave arrived on time and identified the problem within about 30 seconds. He fixed it within about 10, and went above and beyond by checking my filters and cleaning them for me. He did an exceptional job and was very nice and friendly. I absolutely recommend Specialized Mechanical. read more

Were property manager / owners who needed a wall heater repaired in one of our units. First repair company suggested to just replace heater because it would cost to much to repair and there would be no guarantee that it would even work. We always get two to three estimates and I'm just thankful we came across Specialized Mechanical on Yelp. Jon not only repaired the heater successfully but saved us hundreds of dollars. Thanks Jon!

Jon was the ultimate in honest and knowledgeable customer service. He was at my home within two hours of calling him on a Saturday. He had already accurately diagnosed the problem over the phone. He had the part needed for a 25-year old furnace on-hand and repaired my system within 30 minutes. Very friendly, very fair pricing, very clean. There is nothing more I could ask for to increase my satisfaction. read more

My AC was down. Called a company and was told the system was too old and needed to be replaced. I call Specialized Mechanical for another opinion. Josh was wonderful. Explained what was wrong, options to fix it and then did the work. It is up and running. I understand I will need to replace it eventually, but Josh at S.A. saved me for a year or two. read more

I've had pretty much the same positive experience as others have mentioned. They take their time and work with you, they explain your options and do not upsell, they pay attention and seem to care about what they're doing, they're polite and friendly, and they seem to know their stuff. Would call them again without hesitation. read more

Holy crap it's hot!!!! These guys are truly the best. My AC went out on one of the hottest days of the year. Just my luck I had family in town for a wedding. They went super out of their way to to SAVE THE DAY! I would recommend Specialized over all the rest!!!! Thanks again guys. 5 stars!!!!!!! read more

Jon and his crew at Specialized Mechanical are great! They arrived on time and did the work they promised in a timely manner. I am completely comfortable having them in my home and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their heating or air conditioning. read more

One unit was fixed but after the tech left, the other unit stopped working. Just called and told them the issue but they insisted "they didn't do anything with the other unit" and I would have to pay full price again. Seems like quite a coincidence. read more

The customer service is excellent the team of people they have working for them are very professional. Our company has been using Specialized Mechanical for over 6 years. You won't be disappointed. AIS Enterprise, Inc. Kelly Robinson read more
