Courteous and polite, explained what he was doing and why. Explained other irritant aspects of how the AC worked and even cleaned it off before leaving.

A & H Heating
5.0
The job was fairly difficult, and they handled it perfectly. The new furnace is in a different location than the old one. Also the A/C unit is in a different location. Other remodeling was being done (new roof, etc) so they had to return a number of times. The AC unit was installed 6 months after the furnace.

He was honest and on time. He couldn't have been better. He fixed the small problem with my a/c for no charge. I would use him again.

Stewart Heating Air & Plumbing Inc

He checked out what he could. Tested the temperature coming from the vents. I can't comment on the quality except to say he said to call back if we had an issue. We have not used the A/C since his visit.

Excellent-- we have no complaints at all - - They even provided free a portable room air conditioner unit to help us because we had to wait a few days on a waiting list- this company was so good it was in demand and we were put on a short waiting list

This company was pleasure to work with. They made contact with me on Monday and was out to my house the next day to access my heating and AC needs. Rudy V. went over my replacment options. I added that I also wanted two zones and Nest thermostats. Thursday they installed the furnace and air conditioner. We had the heater ready to use that same night! Friday was just a few hours of welding and trying up the air conditioner. They were very fast, neat and professional.

TFF HVAC SHEETMETAL
5.0
They installed the A/C and furnace promptly. Running the lines from the garage of my townhouse through the crawl space to the front outside A/C unit was difficult, but they did a neat and professional job of it. The installers knew what they were doing. The A/C and furnace passed the City of San Jose permit inspection with NO deficiencies - great job TFF.

Bell Brothers Plumbing Heating & Air
5.0
We were super-pleased with ABC. Our air conditioner unexpectedly stopped working last night. We called ABC just before 8pm and were able to schedule a service call for this morning. The tech (Bill Sweeney) came out this morning, diagnosed the issue and made the repair - all before 11am. Many thanks to ABC and Bill! We will definitely be repeat customers should we run into any issues in the future!

Air Assurance
5.0
They went on to work on an A/C that was causing the problem, replaced a part and that apparently came loose, and they had to go back a week later because the A/C went out again, but, they did not charge me for that because it was a defect in the work they had done, so, I was pleased with that. I have got the report on one of the maintenance visits and I have not got the report on the other, although I was told it was scheduled, so, I need to check on that. I like the contracts and that saves a lot of problems.

A & H Heating

Excellent!! That's all folks. Also completed HERS inspection and obtained permit for me. As bonus replaced and installed smoke/fire detectors and the Co units. Dale and crew also installed new furnace and A/C at our home in Los Gatos in 1993. Excellent then as well.

Duerr Heating & Air Conditioning
5.0
I have used them in the past too. They are reliable; if I am in a jam, they will come out even on Sundays. They are very friendly, and the price is right. I even got a Christmas card from them. The last time around, they came out for free because they had come out before to check the unit and then they came back for another adjustment. I would definitely use them again in the future. I found them as a result of a recommendation from a friend of mine, and I would recommend them to anybody that would ask for a recommendation.

Kelly Plumbing & Heating
5.0
Very nice and polite service person, attentive to needs and cleanliness. He did not try to up-sell and did not do a service that was not necessary. He arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and did an additional vent trap cleaning that I did not know about. He tested everything before leaving. I do wish to add that the senior discount is 5%, not 10% as indicated on list.

Kelly Plumbing & Heating
5.0
Our air conditioner stopped working a few days before some predicted very hot weather. With a baby and 3 adults in the house we wanted it fixed before the heat arrived. We called another AC company and they weren't able to help right away or give a definite time they could get to our job. After reading reviews in Angie's List and on-line, we called Kelly's Plumbing. They answered the phone right away and scheduled the repair for that afternoon. The repairman arrived at the promised time and promptly inspected the central AC unit and determined that the condenser was leaking and had tripped a fuse, which were both repaired on the spot. When we bought the house, the AC was not working and the AC technician who came then replaced a blown fuse, but apparently did not determine the cause of the blown fuse. We were very impressed with Kelly's Plumbing and plan to use them for both heating and cooling (and plumbing) needs in the future.

He quickly diagnosed the problem as a bad contactor, had one on the truck and replaced it. The A/C is now working like a charm.

A & H Heating
4.0
I called A &H because my A/C used to start whenever the thermostat kicked in and started the heat. I left them a message over the weekend. They returned my call promptly on Monday and gave an appointment for a couple of days later. They showed up on time, checked the thermostat and the furnace and AC and determined that there was likely some shorted wiring. They turned the AC power off and made another appointment for 2 weeks later to fix the wiring. On the day of the appt. they called in the morning and left a message saying they were going to come in earlier than the original appt. After the technicians got there, they had to remove the thermostat, go into the attic and replace the wiring. It took them a while but they charged us for only 2 hours (including the original visit). The only negative was that one of the technicians was somewhat sloppy when re-installing the thermostat and made a bigger hole in the dry wall than before. They had to caulk it up.

AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning Co
5.0
For 2-3 years we had noticed that our house did not cool down adequately on hot days. After a recent hot spell, we decided to call an HVAC company to check it out. After finding AAA on Angies List, we made an appointment. On the day of the appointment, Monty arrived on time. He checked out the system, and told us that the refrigerant was low, and that this was probably the cause of our cooling problem. This made sense, and we asked him to service the unit. Within an hour, the refrigerant was recharged. From then on, we have noticed a big improvement in the AC, and it appears our problem is fixed.

Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar
5.0
Technician provided a quality service. He explained everything he would be doing and went over everything after the job. He was efficient and minimally invasive. At the end of the service, he also let me know what I could/should be doing to avoid any problems with both the furnace and the AC. He also provided information and deals for yearly maintenance which we will sign up for. Considering he came on a rainy day and was cheerful about working on the AC outside, a really great technician! Would definitely use/recommend them!

Diablo Valley Comfort Systems
3.0
The technician checked out my A/C and did a tune up on it. He advised that the unit "might" have a small leak based on the low level of freon inside, but he wasn't able to locate a leak. He stated that I should probably replace my unit since it was old and having this problem, but he also advised that we could try filling it with freon to see if that would work. He added the freon and it worked well for about a week and then stopped cooling the house. I contacted the company again and they advised that I should replace the entire unit. The A/C unit is over 20 years old so that is probably the best solution, but I wish the tech had used his expertise and advised me NOT to go ahead with the freon. I ended up wasting $300.

Air Conditioning Repair Near You

Four Main Types of Air Conditioners

Any air conditioning system can stop working, but the costs associated with the types vary widely. Your central air conditioner is probably one of these types:

  • Split system — Two components (one outside, one inside)
  • Heat pump — An energy efficient alternative that also provides heat
  • Packaged central air conditioner — One unit contains the evaporator, condenser and compressor
  • Ductless mini-split system — This requires no expensive ductwork

Tips for Hiring Air Conditioning Equipment Repair Near You

Only heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians should service your central air conditioner, regardless of type.

A good A/C repair tech near you will:

  • Assess the system
  • Isolate the repair problem

  • Make the repair
  • Ensure the entire system is working

Hiring reliable contractors and avoiding scams is easy when you read free reviews. Be sure to follow up on the background of the company. Air conditioner equipment is expensive to buy and expensive to service, so save money by doing your homework with this list of air conditioner repair service near you.
