Arthur is amazing. Diagnosed the issue and fixed it timely. He was very helpful and courteous. I am going to use Tempest HVAC for our periodic maintenance going forward. Arthur is by far the best HVAC Tech I have ever used. read more

Had my warranty company send out this contractor diagnose my HVAC system. They did so incorrectly & claimed it was not up to code (3-inch vs 4-inch vent), which led to the warranty company denying service. I brought in a second opinion from a long-time licensed HVAC company, and they confirmed the system vent was properly installed for its build age and the diagnosis was incorrect. The actual issue was unrelated and much simpler. Homeowners should be aware that "not up to current code" is not the same as unsafe or non-serviceable, especially in older homes. Always get a second opinion. read more

Honest, professional service. Roland made no attempt to upsell, s rarity in this business

Scammers! Our Home Warranty sent this company out and just like all of the other reviews state they are crooks! Came out and said we needed a new blower motor which is covered but wanted $250 to clean it. We agreed at first. They said they had to order the blower motor and would be back in 1-2 days which turned into a week. One week in the sweltering Southern California heat, our house temperature was 86 degrees. They came out and put the new blower motor in and said that it was fixed. I came home and the house was still 86 degrees hours later. I called the technician directly who said to give it a day, so another night of sweltering heat. The following day the temperature got to 76 even though he set the thermostat to 65. It was no longer sweltering but definitely not working like it should. We called them back and they said we'd have to wait another 2 days. They came out yesterday which was 2 days later and said nothing was wrong and to give it another day. Today is "another day" and no air blows out at all. I called and complained to my insurance company who could not get ahold of the company and said they were sending another company out as an emergency within 24 hours. Less than an hour after that, I got an email from my insurance company stating my claim is now denied because the evaporator coil is failed. Never once was that mentioned. Yesterday there was "nothing wrong" and now that I complained and refused to pay them an extra $250 a made up diagnosis has occurred which denies my claim and cancels my insurance??? No coincidence there and there seems to be a pattern here according to these reviews. I will fight this tooth and nail! Your dishonesty is disgusting and you should be ashamed! Zero stars! Would not recommend them even for free! read more

My insurance company sent Tempest HVAC Pros to diagnose my broken AC unit, and it was terrible experience from start to finish. The two techs arrived, an older and younger. The old Technician was incredibly unfriendly and dismissive. They claimed my AC unit was not up to code and submitted a false report to my insurance company, which led to my claim being completely denied. To make matters worse, they unexpectedly demanded $250 on the spot just to bring it into "compliance". I refused to fall for it and have already requested a second opinion. Save your headache and stay miles away from this company ! read more

They showed up on time, clean, friendly, explained what was wrong and completed the job.

This is the first honest HVAC company I've dealt with. In and out in 10 minutes and also explained the reason behind the issue. The best part, the knowledge I gained from the visit. Thank you! read more

They very good professionals. Easy to schedule repair, they on time. Courteous, explaining problem, very reliable. Good price. read more

Although I've seen a few negative reviews for Tempest HVAC, I had a very positive experience with them. Arthur and his assistant were prompt, professional, and efficient. They arrived exactly when promised and diagnosed the issue--two blown capacitors--within minutes. In less than 15 minutes, they had replaced them and cold air was blowing again. Thank goodness too... it's going to be 105 degrees today! Both technicians were friendly and courteous, and they took the time to explain everything in detail. Arthur even brought me outside to show me exactly what had gone wrong and offered helpful maintenance tips to extend the life of my A/C unit. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service and highly recommend them. If you call for service, ask Nick to send Arthur--he's excellent! read more

My air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. So I filed a claim with First American Home Warranty. I continued the home warranty company since I bought my house....past 7 years! FAHW sent the repair order to Tempest HVAC Pros. Tempest were very efficient. They contacted me within 24 hours and even scheduled the appointment on 3 day Holiday weekend. Arthur and Damir just came and fixed my air conditioner within 30 minutes. One of the capacitors was not working. They had the part and didn't need to order a new one and wait. This was an awesome experience. I asked about their semi annual maintenance service and they do offer them. I'm going to sign up next week. If you want your HVAC maintained and fixed right...try Tempest HVAC pros. I had all these negative scenarios in my head due to other negative reviews but I have nothing to complain about. I give them 10 stars if I could. They were AWESOME!!!! read more

echoing all the other bad reviews, avoid this company at all costs!!! our AC stopped working due to being old aka wear & tear under our home warranty terms. so american home shield sent out these guys and after inspecting our system, the technician confirmed saying yep, we need a new ac unit. he said he would submit to our warranty company and we should hear back in a week. we just heard back and suddenly a magical missing part that nobody has ever once mentioned appeared in his report, a "filter dryer"?? and due to this our entire claim is denied! SCAM AC company working hand in hand with a SCAM home warranty company read more

I would not recommend Tempest HVAC Pros based on my experience. I was referred to them through my home warranty company. A technician named Ash came to my home and immediately mentioned he was covering outside his usual territory and seemed unwilling to be there. He diagnosed the issue as needing refrigerant, which is what I originally expected to be addressed. However, instead of focusing on the refrigerant issue, his report to the home warranty company included unrelated concerns such as the unit allegedly not being strapped or bolted correctly to the concrete. Because of his report, the warranty company ultimately denied the repair. It's as though he went out of his way to ensure it would not be repaired. I was surprised by this outcome, so I contacted Tempest HVAC Pros directly and spoke with Nick. I explained the situation and asked if there was anything they could do to help resolve the issue. He said he would think about it and call me back, but I never received a follow-up. Overall, my experience with Tempest felt unprofessional and unhelpful, and it left me in a difficult position. I appealed the home warranties decision and they sent another repair technician from a different company, and they could not have been more lovely and fixed it right away. read more

Tempest was assigned by my home warranty company. They reached out quickly and offered an appt for the next day. They showed up early in the time window they provided and the service technician got to work quickly and fixed our AC. Super happy with the service, their timeliness and how nice they were! read more

Our AC broke down right in the middle of a summer heat wave, and I could not have asked for a better experience with this HVAC company. From the moment I called, they were quick, professional, and cared about getting our home cool again with honesty and great customer service. read more

We needed a second opinion on our HVAC and problems we've been having with its efficiency across the rooms. We got an appointment right away, they arrived on time on the day of the appointment, and were very professional. They explained the problems with the system, potential solutions, less expensive alternatives, and were very thorough. They were very honest with their explanation about what was causing the issue and honest about pros and cons for each solution suggested. I highly recommend them. read more

american home shield warranty ( there aint nuthn AMERICAN about anything !) sent this group out to review my AC making loud noises and using too much energy. They guy soent 11 minutes wven after i gave home water and gatorade and then tells me - the system is fine. I can clean it for $300....!! What ? You checked nothing. Didnt even look at the electrical or combo furnace. $125 for 12 min. Unreal!! Not impressed w eaither Tempest or Home warranty - total sham for Both !! Find someone else who is from tge local area and country. American home shield warranty also is an AI SHAM !! im calling AMEX to reverse $$$ read more

I called out Tempest to help with a client selling their condo unit. The HVAC system was not blowing out cold air. I called Tempest to hopefully get someone out quick. Nick was able to get someone scheduled for the next day. Sergio came out diagnosed the issue and started work on fixing it. He needed to pick up a new fan motor and came out the next day in the rain and lighting, replaced the fan motor and got it working. Now this 30 year old unit is blowing out cold air like it was brand new! I highly recommend Tempest! read more

The technicians were hired by First American Home Warranty as a service request. The technicians called quickly to schedule the appointment and showed up on time. During their short visit they did not communicate with us at all. They walked in asked about the location of the unit and that was all the communication we received. They did not tell us what was happening to the unit or invite us to look nor did they even provide us with any type of estimate. We asked for a phone number to reach the technician and they told us to call the office which we did and there was never any attempt to reply. Then overall communication was very unprofessional and I personally would not hire them if it was my choice. read more

Their customer service is horrible. Nick screamed at me and said I was hearing noises when he had a tech come and turned the unit on and Arman said that should not happen for a brand new unit. I was freezing for a week because they didn't come because of weather. The tech who came said he could of turned off the ac because it was not stopping even turning it off from the inside. He said he could of turned it off from the inside. He should never get any jobs. Horrid with everything. I would give it a minus zero. I even think they put a refurbished unit instead of a new one. Nick said that the city inspector came today and it passed inspection. I didn't see anybody go up the roof and I don't know how they got in without me opening the gate. I live in a gated complex. It's very fishy with everything they do. read more

My insurance company had Tempest HVAC come down to check on my AC, the guy came down and do the diagnostic and said nothing was wrong, just need to clear the fence around my Hvac to increase air flow into the system and it will fix the problem. So I listened and destroyed the fence around it. However, the problem persisted and my Hvac still shut off on its own. I hired someone else to come down for a diagnostic with my own money, and they said my Hvac has low in coolant and its capacitator is weak, perhaps needs replacement. Yet, this company told my insurance company that nothing was wrong. Now, I'm trying to contact them to return and fix my Hvac, I cannot reach them. Bad service! Don't hire them! read more

TL:DR Avoid Tempest HVAC Pros at all costs! My review: I wish I could give Tempest HVAC Pros zero stars. What started out promising quickly turned into one of the worst experiences I've had with a vendor. Within an hour of being assigned my case by First American Home Warranty, I received a text from Nick offering an appointment for the next day (Saturday). Unfortunately, I was swamped with work and couldn't respond right away. They texted again and followed up with a call to get me scheduled. I appreciated their persistence, but that's where the positives end. The technician was scheduled to come between 1pm and 5pm. By 4:40pm, I hadn't heard anything, so I reached out. They told me the tech was running late but on the way. He finally arrived after 5pm. The technician asked what was going on, and I tried to explain, especially given the numerous issues I've had with the unit over the last year. Instead of listening, he dismissed me. He took a few photos of the unit's manufacturer sticker inside and outside but didn't actually inspect anything in detail. When I asked if he found anything or could fix the problem, he said he was only sent to take measurements and that I needed to call the office for the report in about 30 minutes. Of course, by then, the office was closed. The real nightmare began on Monday when I received an email from my home warranty company saying my claim was not only denied but that tehy will no longer cover my A/C because Tempest HVAC Pros reported that I was "missing a part." I tried contacting Tempest for an explanation, but the same company that was so quick to answer my calls earlier in the process was now ghosting me. They recognized my number but refused to answer or return my calls. When I finally got through, they claimed they didn't have a report and that they just relayed what their technician told them. When I asked what that was, they said they couldn't tell me. Meanwhile, my home warranty company insists that Tempest does have a detailed report and that they need to provide it to me. Despite that, Tempest is refusing to tell me any details, give me a report and/or even answer/return my calls at this point. So here I am, with an AC unit that still doesn't work, a denied claim, no future coverage for my A/C and no information. I've already paid for the claim, and now I'm out even more money trying to find another vendor to fix this issue--oh, and did I mention it's been 100º all week? Tempest HVAC Pros' lack of communication, refusal to provide any explanation, and blatant disregard for my calls is egregious. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the California Department of Insurance, Claims Service Bureau. I sincerely hope no one else has to endure the poor level of service I received. Avoid this company at all costs. read more

If I could give these liars a negative ZERO I would! My home warranty company sent these shady losers out to assess my air condition unit and not only did he not assess it , but straight out LIED about his findings causing my claim to be denied. They probably think because it's so hot right now it would make me call them to replace it. NEVER! I wouldn't go this company my rustiest penny! This company is trash and should NOT BE TRUSTED! read more

I have never dealt with a more dishonest company IN MY LIFE. They sent a technician, Edo, to my home through my home warranty company. He did not look at my AC at all. I have him on video refusing to look at it and then he just left but not before trying to upsell me to an AC cleaning. I refused. Then he turned around and told my home warranty company that I needed a cleaning, again, without every looking at my unit, and now the home warranty is saying I have to have a cleaning done before they will service my unit again. DO NOT USE THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. They are scam artists. I can see though other reviews here that they tried the same thing. read more

Terrible service. Look elsewhere! I'm a former HVAC technician so I know what to look for and expect. As soon as the tech showed up dragging his feet with no customer service skills, I knew I was going to get a Mickey Mouse job. Scheduled a Spring AC tuneup through my home warranty, which clearly outlines everything that the service entails. I recently hurt my back so I was happy about the fact that they would wash my condenser coils for me as I do every year (and would do for my former customers). Tech stated he doesn't do that, although I showed him the paperwork that clearly states that's part of the service I PAID for. He replied by saying "I've done hundreds of AC tune ups and never cleaned the coils". Great, so now the company admittedly has been scamming homeowners for who knows how long? No problem, I'll call my warranty office and let them know of the situation. They inform me that the tech is in the WRONG and would like to speak to him. I try to hand him the phone, he refuses to speak, and tells me to inform them they need to contact his office, not him. LOL. Of course, the website states it's a family business, so it's probably his cousin Amir on the other end of the phone. I asked him if he's going to replace my filter with the one I bought? He says it's clean and there's no need. Looking at my cameras he never opened the door in my hallway to check! The paperwork says that they will check the amperage my blower is pulling but how could he have checked without opening my hvac unit in the hallway? Keep in mind I used to replace blower motors when I was a tech. At this point im over it and just want him gone. Since I paid $85 through my warranty I'll just have them send another company out, but if I had hired these guys directly things would have ended differently. Now I'm wondering what he even did. I went outside to check his work at the AC unit where you're supposed to inspect refrigerant levels with a calibrated machine. Part of this is connecting a temp reader to your cold and hot lines. I know from former experience that you're supposed to abrade your line with an abrasive cloth to get a proper reading. No surprise, no marks of any kind to indicate he did the inspection. The nuts that you would unscrew in order to plug in the machine were still dirty and untouched! Unfortunately for this guy, he came to the house of a homeowner that is well informed. Now he's off in Palmdale ripping who knows how many people off. I hate scam artists. Stay away! I'll post an update if this company decides to hold themselves accountable, but I doubt it. Bloods thicker than water. "Bad for business bro" read more

Tempest HVAC Pros - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

We have a warranty though First American and called them when our AC started blowing warm air. They sent Tempest HVAC and Arthur and his assistant figured out we only needed freon. They were professional and efficient. read more

Was assigned this company by my home warranty plan. Overall was a pleasant experience with taking a look at the HVAC system since the system would over heat and shut down on hot days above 100 degrees. The techs came out here quickly, diagnosed, and fixed the issue with one visit. So far the air conditioner has been working for a week following their repair with weather daily above 100 degrees no problem. I guess there was built up pressure. Pros: Quick service appointments Good customer service Techs explain issues Quality Repairs Cons: None read more

Rude, arrogant, fraudulent. They did not provide a service and instead submitted a false report. They were at the house for less than a couple minutes, didn't take out any tools, etc. Stay away if you can. read more

Repair was requested through American Home Shield warranty. Technician arrived promptly and informed me that AC needed new motor. He also said that the unit needed maintenance/ cleaning which isn't covered by warranty (I did not agree to have this service done). Service was scheduled for 2 days later and upon completion of service he claimed that he had done maintenance/ cleaning and proceeded to charge for $250 for said service. He never confirmed with me upon arrival what service he was going to perform. Additionally, he was being dishonest because the condenser had already been cleaned the day before so there was no need to clean it again. read more

Tempest responded promptly to my request for service and Sergio explained we needed to wait for a new part. We scheduled a return visit but when I was unable to keep it, Sergio found a way to proceed anyway which was very helpful (so I didn't have to wait longer for my heat). Communication from the office (Nick) was excellent. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Our AC Unit went out. We contacted AHS and they sent over Tempest HVAC to assess the unit. The rep stayed for approximately 10 minutes. He climbed on the ladder and had my mother in law hold the attic door open for him while he "looked" at the unit. He didn't go into the attic to diagnose the issue. He reported the motor was regular wear and tear and was not covered by AHS. If AHS assigns Tempest HVAC, ask for a different company. read more

Tempest was called to investigate and repair a condenser which was not starting up. Arthur arrived at the property before me and I directed him to the side yard as I made my way over. By the time I got there (10-15 mins), Arthur had already diagnosed and fixed the issue. There are plenty of HVAC service providers these days, so finding one that is both skilled and has amazing customer service is challenging. I'll be using Tempest for all my future needs and I can't recommend Arthur and team more! 5 stars all around. read more

AHS sent them to repair my furnace. Technician showed experience by repairing the control board instead of just ordering a replacement. That would have taken two weeks to get it installed and it's winter and cold and not worth the wait. read more
