A few weeks ago we called The Air Conditioning Guy to come to our house to repair our ac unit after our dog bit through all our wires on our unit. We were pretty nervous that we might wind out being overcharged for the repair so we chose this company based on Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed we received excellent quality service at a reasonable rate. Manuel was polite, professional, and took the time to explain how our unit works to my husband and I. He also gave us tips on how to maintain it since we just recently moved into our house. I would not hesitate to use this company again and would recommend it to friends and family. read more

Manny is a rare bird: he is pleasant, honest and genuinely interested in solving your HVAC problems. I would definitely call him for any repairs or estimates for new equipment. The only reason I didn't give him five stars is that he did not locate the freon leak in one of my A/C systems. When another repairman spotted the problem in the coil, I called Manny who was genuinely disappointed that he had not been successful and immediately RETURNED MY PAYMENT! I ask you, how many times has that happened with ANY service personnel? read more

Manny and Michael just installed a new central air conditioning system for us. We have an old home which had never had air conditioning. They were true professionals and did a wonderful job figuring out how to install the system so that it is perfect for us and our home. The price was very reasonable, they were very conscientious about disturbing us as little as possible and making sure the house was left clean at the end of the day. It was a true pleasure doing business with them and I would recommend them highly to everyone. read more

I could not recommend him enough. It was a pleasure to work with Manny. A true professional who takes pride in his work. Before you get any HVAC work done give him a call. read more

We chose this company to do a full AC maintenance based on the number of positive reviews on the yelp. Frank and Robert provided the service and they were very polite and professional. Because our compressor was very old, Frank didn't recommend us to do the full maintenance since it will do more harm. They only charged us for the basic maintenance visit. Will definite use them again for future service. read more

Manny removed and hauled away our old furnace and air conditioner, installed a new furnace and ductwork under the house, plus a new AC condenser in about a week. He was very professional, clean, and responsive to all of my questions. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great AC guy at a reasonable price. read more

After reading all the great reviews for Manny, I decided to go with him. He didn't have an opening for a week and a half, but I thought the wait may be worth it based on the positive reviews. Well, he called and was able to tend to my AC much earlier than planned. I must say, he was very friendly and professional. He conducted a thorough inspection of the entire unit (furnace and AC), and was very straightforward in listing all the problems and which ones required the least to most urgent attention. Not once did he attempt to sell me more than what was absolutely necessary. His price was reasonable and yet he still ended up giving me a small discount after gathering from my comments that we were having some tough financial times. In conclusion, Manny is honest, kind, highly professional, and well worth the wait for an appointment. I highly recommend him!! read more

The 'Air Conditioning Guy' recently installed a new furnace in our home. It was a complicated install as it was replacing a 'Gravity' heater and a smaller forced air heater. He fixed many of the heating issues we had with the old system and did just as he said he would. He is a man of his word and his work is solid, which is rare these days. Since the install we have had a couple of minor issues as to no fault of Manny, but he was extremely responsive all three times. The first time, Thanksgiving weekend, our furnace refused to fire up/go on, and Manny came out on a holiday weekend to replace a faulty thermostat (not his fault). Again on Christmas weekend we had another issue due to our fault and he returned my call within hours. If you want an 'Air' guy for your house, and don't want to get scammed you have to give Manny a try! read more

had a horrible experience with the big air conditioning repair company airtro. they went on the roof & never bothered to open the door of the unit to see what was wrong. the repair guy's footprints got within 5' to the unit & turned around. for that i got charged $75 service fee. they just kept telling me I needed to replace the unit. saw the great reviews of the air conditioning guy. emailed him & told him about my airtro experience. he came by, opened up the unit (it's an older PAYNE unit) & ran a diagnostic. he figured out the part that was the problem. since it was an older unit, he had to research the part. the next day he had a solution & fixed it. it seems like service people these days don't know how to diagnose anything. they just replace parts until it works - trial & error. it was very refreshing to find a repairman who knows the workings of an air conditioning unit & is competent enough to solve the problem. I have highly recommended him to my neighbors. read more

After my experience with Manuel, the least I can do to show my appreciation, is to write a review that reflects my great satisfaction with his services. Manuel is honest, very fair in his prices, and above all very professional. He takes pride in what he does. I contracted him to repair a furnace that was spilling carbon monoxide into the house. He came to examine the appliance, found the causes of the problem and gave me an estimate lower that the tree other estimates I had previously obtained. It was not the lower price that compelled me to decide for his services but rather the sense of trust that I had when talking to him. I felt that he would do a thorough work and I was right. He exeeded my expectastions. read more

Not sure if this is a faux pas or not, but I'm going to rate a guy who I actually didn't end up using. Manuel was super polite and came out to give me a quote on a replacement rooftop "package" gas heat and air conditioning unit. He was prompt and spent the time to look over the job carefully. He walked me through what was really needed, and why the first estimate I received (through a Home Depot affiliate) was totally bogus. He explained everything I needed and why, and at the end of the day, he gave me a comprehensive quote that looked like it would be an incredible job of high quality, giving me what I really needed. At the end of the day, the only reason I didn't go with him is because I was forced to be very price-sensitive on this job, and so I went with another amazing air conditioning guy recommended on Yelp who was willing to do a fewer number of things at a better price. But Manuel's knowledge helped me ask the right questions and figure out what I could live with, and what I could live without. read more

Excellent and thorough HVAC inspection - fast and fair priced. Solution-oriented and walked us through a wide range of options. Will do business with Manuel again! read more

Manny is a pretty honest and reliable guy who knows his stuff. I initially got his contact through Yelp, and read all of the great reviews about his service, and decided to give him a call. He's pretty booked for 3 weeks but I am glad I waited. I can't say that the problem has been fixed (since there's no way we can tell what caused the leak unless the ceiling is opened), but he offered to show up again to check for free if leaks still happen in the coming weeks. Very thorough, very professional, and very reasonable cost wise. If anything, I'd give him the benefit of doubt by calling him out to give you a free estimate. You can't lose. Chances are he will fix your problems. Highly recommended. read more

Manuel had just had surgery--and responded to my email right away anyway. He was still recuperating, so he asked if we could set a time for the following week--but also said he entirely understood if I needed heat sooner. Based on his Yelp reviews, I decided to wait. He was TOTALLY worth it! Knew how our old furnaces worked, did repairs/adjustment promptly, explained what he was doing and was very reasonably priced. Would call him again in a heartbeat, and will if we need him. My only regret: that he's not a triplet--would have hit the lotto if he had one brother who was an electrician and another who does electrical work! read more

The other reviews don't lie... Manny is truly amazing. The past 3 years, I've been using another air conditioning repair service, and each time someone from this "other" company came out, they wanted me to change a part or the whole unit. Each of the previous visit, I was told something else needed to be changed/fixed. Manny came out, figured out the root cause, fixed it, and explained everything to me as I went through my mental checklist of issues I've previously had. I had not told him exactly what to "other" guys had told me (as I think the other guys were giving me BS based on the prior visits), but he suspected issues we may have encountered as a result of his findings and he nailed it all. Either he had conspired with the prior technicians or he really knows his stuff. I'll have to say the latter of the two. After his visit, we immediately noticed the difference, and haven't had a problem since. Another plus, he uses the "square" so he takes credit/debit cards and emails your receipt to you. I highly recommend Manny. Please understand that he is a one man team, but you will not regret waiting for his service to get it done right and right the first time. read more

my central air system wasn't getting cold. i noticed the outside unit's fan wasn't turning on, but just making loud noises. the AC guy came out the next day. said a few of my capacitors were bad. now i'm living the cool life!! thanks for the quick service. read more

I had these guys come out to perform maintenance on my air conditioner and was very pleased with the level of service. They were thorough and very considerate (wearing booties when walking in the house, which was a nice touch). The only reason I'm knocking them a star is that they did a little bit of a hard sell for replacing the entire HVAC system. Since the current one is still working this seemed a bit odd. read more

This is the second time I've worked with Manuel on getting an AC system installed. Both times I've had great experiences. This time around he installed a new 2-stage, high efficiency system for me that's been working beautifully. His price was significantly lower than other quotes I received - and he didn't charge me a dime over what his quote was - even though he had to do a bit more work than expected due to the way the previous system was installed. I can't recommend Manuel (the air conditioning guy enough). Just make sure you call ahead of time because he can get booked up in the summer. read more

GREAT service. Super-reasonable, super friendly, fast and reliable. What more could you ask for? I'll DEFINITELY be a customer for all future heating/air-conditioning needs!! read more

Knowledgable,trustworthy,nice guy...fair prices...he's worth the wait...the reviews are right...he informed us all about our unit,gave suggestions,and fixed what was needed without talking us into a whole other unit...he' hardworking and honest. read more

These reviews are right on. I am not a yelp user so I was skeptical to begin with. I build properties for a living and all my AC repair guys were on vacation. I had an emergency and Manny came through. Completely professional, even wore footies inside my house, which I really appreciated. Was on time, extremely honest and about 25% to 35% less expensive than most others would charge. He completed the work the sameday when most techs tell you they need to come back in a week or two. I am very high maintance and it takes alot to impress me. I can't say enough good things about him. read more

Straight-forward and honest evaluation of my small wall unit problem, which - while for him it was a relatively small job - he treated with respect as a big problem for me. He was conscientious about keeping my house clean and the unit was promptly serviced and repaired. He charged a very reasonable price for essentially giving my unit a new lease of life AND gave me plenty of non-self-serving advice on how to avoid having to spend money on calling out any AC guy for a while. Courteous, gentlemanly, friendly, professional. What can i add to his already stellar rep? He's not just THE AC guy, Manuel is THE MAN, and I'll use no other. read more

I didn't think guys like Manuel still existed - someone who actually believes and practices the highest levels of integrity in all facets of his business. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in processing what and where the problems are in a non functioning air conditioning unit, he is very efficient in determining what's needed to make it quickly operable again. He recommends only what is needed to fix the problem and does not take advantage of the situation by trying to "sell you the farm". He is a true professional who is honest, friendly, and provides his services at a very reasonable price. While this service request was for a property in Pasadena, i am a senior, female customer who wishes he would expand his service area to include Castaic! We need someone of his caliber out here too! read more

They are the best in town and the most honest. I had other companies telling me I needed a new unit. So I called Janice and she sent out someone to give us second opinion. It turns out the other company was not doing there job the coils were dirty and a bearing was going out. it is fixed and running like a champ. My house is cool and we are very happy with the honesty and service we received. They even called last night to check on if we were happy. I give The Air Conditioning Guy 5 stars plus. Thank you for great service. read more

We called in the middle of a heatwave, Manuel was ontime for the estimate, ontime to begin the job and professional in every way. He acquired an upgraded condenser in order to meet his install promise and did not change his price. Honorable, reliable, professional. We're extremely happy that we met Manuel, and recommend him highly. read more

Manny was great! I have an old AC unit and I know it needs to be replaced, just don't have an extra 3K to do it right now. Manny explained my options to me, I decided on a repair job. He fixed the unit in about an hour and bought me some time to save up for a new AC unit. Very reasonable price too! read more

Manuel's guy was prompt in responding to my request for service. He showed up the very next day to fix my furnace issues.

He's no longer in business? Just tried this guy's phone number and it's no longer in service.

I never fill out one of these before. Like most of us, I rely on how many stars and how good of reviews they get before calling them for service. In the end, I feel I still got screwed. I called to have them check on my AC. I think the guy that I talked to was Robert. He said I had to do a leak test that's gonna cost me over $500, then we can fix it after that. After the test he recommended to get a new unit because the leak was in the coil plus the existing unit was old already. I told him to give me one day to think about it because it's gonna cost me $7000 to replace the unit. I asked a friend of mine who worked as residential manager and referred me to one of his business clients. The next morning he came by and checked on it, he said it was fixable and started repairing it. At the end of the day, the whole thing only costed me $400. Compared to $7000, I'll take the earlier anytime. I really didn't want to do this review but I feel I was being cheated for $500 and it made me not believe all those excellent reviews out there. In the end I still have count on word of mouth from trusted friends and family. I hope this may help. read more

This "kudo" is waaaaaaaaaay overdue--sorry Mike. It all started when Frank visited first back at the end of November and had to tell me the vent in my wall heater needed to be replaced. I was really shocked/upset/overwhelmed at how much it would cost . . . and Frank seemed genuinely sorry to have to tell me the cost. Installing a new vent is obviously no easy task. Then Mike arrives at the scheduled time--even calling me in advance to let me know they were coming. VERY long story short--my old house was NOT being cooperative to simply replace the vent. Mike worked HARD and LONG that day, and eventually was able to get it installed. BUT he wasn't quite sure due to the complications he had--and left me his phone number to call him if my heater was again, not working! My appointment was on a Saturday . . . on Sunday morning, unfortunately my heater proceeded not to work again. So I reluctantly called Mike (mind you, this was on a Sunday) and informed him. He said he would be at my place the next day. Again, he spent time struggling with the old vent--trying to replace it with the new vent. After all that time and effort, I had to end up installing the vent on TOP of my roof, as there was a construction problem in the wall that prevented a new vent to be installed. Again, he spent SEVERAL hours on this 2nd appointment. I was absolutely impressed with all his time, effort, and I'm sure his frustration. He is absolutely the "go to" guy . . . I'm also absolutely impressed with the entire company. read more

Manny is the best!!! I highly recommend Manny!!!!! He is absolutely the best! We have been having trouble for over a year now with our unit! All last summer our unit gave us issues! It was blowing hot air instead of cool air so we had called the company that originally installed it (Grangers- I would never use Grangers ever again!!!) but they never figured out what was wrong with it. They came at least 5 times last summer but they kept saying the unit was running fine and didn't We had a new compressor put in along with a bunch of other new parts but the issue kept happening. We decided this year we would go with Manny and we are so glad we did! He made sure to explain everything! He discovered that the other company did all of the duct work wrong (i.e. Wrong size of the duct and vents as well as not strapping down the ducts so they were moving all over the place). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MANNY!!!! He is on time and gives you a fantastic price! Since we obviously need the duct work fixed we asked Manny for a quote and the price he gave us was WAY CHEAPER then the quote Grangers gave us last year. He makes sure to keep the area clean and is very thorough! I am telling you he is the best there is! We will definitely be using him again! Thank you so much Manny! read more

If you don't know why your air conditioner is blowing hot air instead of cold, Manuel is the man to call. After a month of hot weather, we finally broke down and turned on the air. Five minutes later, it was hotter than when we started. Having never had central air conditioning before, and with no clue regarding who to call, we turned to Yelp. Manuel had a lot of outstanding reviews, so we decided to try him. It took a couple of days to get a return call, which initially gave us pause, but we have since learned that Manuel is a one man operation and he is really busy because he is really good. He analyzed the problem methodically, patiently and good-humoredly explained what he was doing and why, and was up-front and clear about how much it would cost. As he says, he is not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but we think he offers great value for the money. He knows what he is doing and is prompt and a really nice guy to boot. Manuel solved our air conditioning issue and my husband is back to being blissfully cool while I search for my sweater... read more
