Henry is your man. He is honest, fair, on time, and gives great HVAC. He worked on our Air conditioner whose fan motor died in June , repaired it the same day at a very fair price. So when our Heater stopped blowing Hot air on the first night of 40 degree Valley temps the other night, we knew Henry could help. Found the problem wiring issues, and fixed it early the next morning. Price was much, much less than a previous estimate. He's a really nice, down to earth guy, that is very trustworthy, and seems to love what he does, and does it well. read more

Nothing scarier than having your air conditioning fail in summer. Called a Active air first thing in the morning and Jeremy was able to come out that afternoon. Without a line of BS he was able to address my problem on an old unit. Unfortunately the unit will need to be replaced in a couple years but thanks to Jeremy it will live another season.

Representative called within half hour of being assigned by First American. She was very personable. Got an appointment for my air conditioner within 48 hrs. Technician was on time, identified the problem, and was able to get it back in shape in minutes. Unfortunately, his personality was not that of the rep; but he was professional, and I guess that's all that matters. A smile would help though. For that, I want to take off a half star, but I can't...LOL. read more

This company has poor service. They have cancelled and rescheduled over 3 times. If you are using a home warranty, ask to be assigned to a different contractor. read more

Poorly diagnosed problem, inadequately addressed, and shamefully left me with expensive resolutions! read more

These people came from my American Home Shield warranty. Which I have since cancelled. Thanks to the greedy folks at Active Air and Heating. They were the third contractor who finally approved the job, but then found all kinds of "non-covered" charges, which were never itemized or written. The total was some amount of $1400. Wow I can get a whole new unit and probably get it installed for that price. There should be zero modifications needed and non were explained. The old unit comes out the new unit goes in simple install. I do not appreciate being ripped off in such a manner. Shame on You!!! read more

This company came from my American Home Shield. They charged me $375 to replace capacitor and wires and then later in the day, the AC stops working completely. Then they schedule to come back a week later. 3 hours in to their 4 hours appt window they text me saying they are cancelling the appt. I've been calling them nonstop and no one even picks up the phone. Just... wow. Update: Technician came back Thursday and said the problem was actually the blower motor so he would have to come back another day to repair after he get the part. We scheduled for Tuesday, that was postponed because he could not get the part in time. So we rescheduled again to Thursday which is today. He came and then realized that the motor was the wrong part, so he would have to go pick up another one tomorrow and come back Sat. To be honest, he is trying pretty hard so I will increase the ratings after the issue is fixed. But I do think the company is pretty unreliable and seems to be overbooked routinely and as a result, the technicians are forced to cancel and reschedule appts. So I don't blame the technicians. Update: Victor was finally able to repair the issue. Office is just very unprofessional but Victor did put a lot of effort so I have adjusted the ratings. read more

LOUSY! RUDE! I make an appointment with them over a week in advance. They only have certain days where they come into my area. I take the day off from work to accomodate their wide window of when someone might actually show u[. Then they call at the last minute to cancel my appointment and want to reschedule for the next day. How many people can just tell their boss they need another day off to wait for a contractor? I cannot just do this at the last minute. And why should I have to take another day off without pay for them??? I don't care about their prior calls for the day. They need to get someone else out here, but NO. Will NEVER use these people! Only reason they were contacted was because of the home warranty. CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM!!! Ironically, I will now have to take another day off without pay to wait for another service provider. But I don't want this one - they cannot be relied on. Hope they go out of business!!! read more

Excellent customer service, especially for our service call. It's been in the triple digits the last couple days and our AC decided to break down. Of course the unit decided to do this during the first intense heatwave! It's 100° and it's 4 PM right now. Inside our house, it's 94°! Our tech was awesome and reasonably priced for the emergency service call and diagnosis. He was able to tell us the issue and give us an estimate however since we're in a rental and the issue is larger than we thought with no quick fixes, we're forced to wait and deal with the intense heat until we hear an answer! Yikes! Caring for your pets is miserable in this heat! Definitely the right company to call when you're in a terrible situation. Thank you and hopefully very soon you will be back because it is 89° in our house right now and it will be another sleepless night until then. read more

Came to evaluate, Scheduled and didn't show 3x, kept me held up with no heat for a month. Ended up not fixing anything. Unresponsive and a waste of my time. read more

Great company they have knowledgeable technician came to my house and after 2 other companies active air came out ass a second opinion they were only supposed to confirm what the other companies said wich was need the hole unit to be replaced becouse my unit will cost too much to fix but not active air they looked into it they found the issue fixed the problem same day and I had a working heater saved my family a lot of money and headaches so thank you active air for the honesty and professionalism read more

I am requesting a refund for services that was not rendered. Active Air Heating and Cooling was a referral from American HomeSheild. When the technician came to my residence initially on 08/22/20 the technician asked me what was the problem and I told him the unit was only blowing warm air and it was not cooling. He went on the roof where the a/c unit is located to examine the unit and claimed it needed refrigerant and cleaning. He quoted me a price of $500.00, I asked him will it be any more than that amount he quoted and he said no. Although, I was little apprehensive I said yes to have the services done. They scheduled the repairs for 08/29/20. After the repairs that was done the problem still persisted so I contacted the technician and he was a little reluctant to come back out again but he did and still could not fixed the problem right away. Instead he blamed it on thermostat was not operable. So, his exact words were he would be out Saturday, September 6, 2020 sometime that morning. Around noon on that day he was to come to my home, I decided to contact the technician and the company, the technician Victor texted me back with a bunch of excuse and for as the company no response, meanwhile I am sitting in 115 degrees heat in my home. I had no money to go to a hotel to get some sort of comfort I had to endure the grueling. I did call the company again on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 after the holiday weekend and requested they refund me my money and still tell this day I have not received a response. I finally had to hire a another company to fix my problem which cost me $782.23. This was the second of three companies and technicians that came out for the same problem through American HomeShield and could not fixed the problem. By the way two of the three companies tried to sale me refrigerate instead of trying to locate and fix the problem. read more

My AC unit had a leak and as a result I couldn't use it until that was resolved. My brother who is also an AC guy couldn't come out for several days and I didn't want to wait since it was going to be another really hot week. Yelp has always been really great for referrals so when I saw that this business had great reviews, I gave them a call I was able to set up a next day morning appt. Because of the heat wave and all the calls he was getting he said that he charged a $95 fee just to come out and assess the problem and that would be waived once the work was performed. Because of all the great Yelp reviews I went ahead and set up the appt. After digging around my unit for an hour, he did not fix anything. Not only that, he completely misdiagnosed the issue. The part that really bugged me was that I asked him, based on his assessment, what options I had for repair. He told me that he would call me back in a day or two and let me know my options. He never called me back and that is completely unacceptable. My brother was finally able to make it out, took a look at the unit and was able to correctly diagnose a problem that he can't believe these guys couldn't figure out because it was literally right in front of their eyes. Now my AC works again without leaking. read more

You must be joking. For real repairs, get a real professional with skills. These clowns are filter changers. Clueless. On his cell. No answers or solutions. I would have been fine with 'bad news' but No news and then charge us and leave. Yikes! The one star is for the fact that he showed up on time which sadly is a rarity. So, I thank him for that. I have another appt. with someone else, let's hope he knows a bit more and cares at least a little about what he does. read more

A/C went out Saturday afternoon, called him that evening and he came out Sunday morning and fixed it quick! Living in the Valley without A/C is a no no for us spoiled people of So Cal and he took care of us quick! Henry explained what he fixed and charged us a fair price. Need your A/C fixed? Call this guy! read more

Thanks Yelp for helping my wife and I find another great business! Our AC unit went out Sunday and I called Active Monday morning. Henry was already on a job but said he would call after 1. He called and apologized for not being able to call back earlier. He had taken medication that was not agreeing with his stomach. He said that if he was feeling better in the evening he would call and come out. Otherwise he said he could come first thing in the morning. When I woke up this morning, I saw that I had a missed call. Henry had called me first thing this morning to see if I was available. We were finally able to coordinate and Henry came out this morning. He was professional, polite and efficient. He was able to fix the problem in no time at all and smiled the whole time. I highly recommend Active's service and Henry's expertise. read more

Thanks again to Yelp for helping us find another great business! Our AC went out this weekend (just our luck, one of the hottest of the year), but luckily we were able to get a hold of Henry on Sunday to help us out! Not only did he arrive quickly despite the numerous calls he was getting requesting his service, but he was also very courteous and friendly. Even though our condo complex is somewhat of a fortress with numerous locked gates, Henry was extremely flexible and understanding. Most importantly, he was able to help us fix the issue relatively quickly considering the amount of damage and now our AC is up and running smoothly! He even told us to call him at ANY time if we had any other issues with the AC - talk about great customer service! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Henry is awesome. We had just moved and for the life of us couldn't get our new super high tech wifi thermostat to work. After spending almost 10 hours on websites, watching youtube videos, and fruitlessly calling the 800 "help" line - with no heat the whole time i might add, we gave up on the thing and called Henry to replace it with something more user friendly. He came over same-day, installed a new, very easy to use thermostat, and gave our furnace a thorough check as well. He is not only really good at his job, he's smart, patient and kind. Our 2 year old kept following Henry around and announcing "Henry, I farted" and wouldn't drop it until Henry acknowledged him. Henry couldn't have been cooler about it! A GREAT guy, and a great person to call if your AC/Heating or thermostat craps out. read more

This was the second AC company assigned to me through my home warranty. I took off work and waited for my noon - 2 window. Nothing. Was told they'd arrive by 4pm. At 7:45p I called and they were still on another job. I took off work and wasted the entire day waiting, with no courtesy call saying they had been held up. As in my other review, I understand that the home warranty calls don't generate a lot of income for the companies that service them, but in my case, I wanted to buy an entire AC unit for my house (in addition to having the AC fixed in my game room.) Very poor customer service. Don't waste your time. read more

These guys are horrible. They have missed 2 appointments. Then claimed they never had an appt. they finally showed up yesterday and installed the new A/C unit only to say they don't have the right allen wrench...yes they didn't have the right tool. They said they will come tomorrow and guess what...no one showed up after I missed work. Still don't have A/C. Horrible. Has been a long time since I've had a company I don't like this much. read more

When our A/C went kaput, I found Active on Yelp and gave them a call. Henry answered the phone himself and swung by our place in a couple of hours. After finding one problem with the unit in the attic, he not only fixed it, but explained it to me thoroughly. I really appreciated him taking the time to walk me through it, as I am the kind of person who "needs to know". So great service there. But what happened next is where he really went above and beyond. Later that evening we returned home to discover that the A/C was not running again. Bummer. We tried to address the problem as Henry had instructed, but no dice. So the next morning (a Saturday no less) I gave him a ring to see if he could return. He showed up within a couple of hours and went back right back to work. After some examination and digging around in the very hot attic, he discovered the real problem: a burned out wire to the power supply. While he fixed it, I braced myself for the inevitable up charge. But when I asked him how much I owed him he said, "I'm not charging you for this visit". I pushed a bit, but he wouldn't have it. On top of it all, he's an exceptionally friendly and nice dude. So that's why my review of Active is five stars. He knows his stuff and knows how to deliver excellent service on top of it. A rare combo. I know Summer is almost over, but if you find yourself with an A/C or heating problem and you're in the Valley... this is the guy to fix it. No question. read more

You absolutely will not find a nicer guy than Henry, period. Aside from his politeness and all around great attitude... He does a fantastic job. Our 30 year old rooftop A/C unit finally bought the farm. Unfortunately, it happened on a Saturday night. But, that didn't matter to Henry... I found his yelp page and cold-called him Sunday morning and he was on our roof within 2 hours. Did I mention, it was a Sunday?! Couldn't be happier. I'm always concerned, especially in LA, finding new servicemen of any kind because of the expectation of getting screwed over somehow. With that fear, I've come to hugely appreciate the honest people out there. Henry is at the top of that list. He explained every detail to me and gave me every option available for my approval before doing the work. He goes the extra mile, does a great job, and couldn't be any nicer... You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Henry is awesome! I just bought my first home and as soon as I moved in during the LA summer heat, I learned that my AC wasn't working. I called Henry and he came over the same evening! He did an evaluation, found the problem, and came back the next morning to fix it. He took the time to explain everything he did which was great because this is the first time I've ever had AC. Henry is super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Pls don't get service here. They are fraud. Used American home shield and they came out once and said I had a blown motor. Never called to come and fix the problem even though AHS authorized to fix it. Avoided all my phone calls. How unprofessional is that. read more

Henry is amazing, very reliable and has saved our family from the valley heat all summer! Highly recommend Active and Henry.

Can't say enough good things about the team at Active. As seen here, Henry is the man who can help make everything better. After several days w/o our central AC - and tired of waiting for the other guys to "find the right parts", Henry found the right compressor, got it installed, and turned our 90 degree house back into a 75 degree home - in 1 day. Your results may vary, but you'll never know until you give them a call. Meticulous work, quick, very fair, super-friendly! Save yourself. Call them. Do it. read more

Henry came out the same day and within a few hours of calling when all the others weren't even calling me back! I even got a "go to our website and submit a request" from one vendor when I called. He is fast, friendly, and reliable. I couldn't be happier with his service and will be calling him again whenever there's a problem or for routine service. Thank you again Henry! read more

I'm not sure how Henry has so many 5 star reviews. Recently our air conditioning failed on the day it was 117 degrees in the valley. Needless to say, it was hard to get anyone out to do repairs. I couldn't get my regular and trusted A/C company because they were booked solid. Henry had so many good reviews so I called. He works on his own schedule mostly alone so you have no control over when he comes. You are at the mercy of his schedule until the work is done. Not very customer friendly. He tells you he MAY come back later in the day then never comes or calls. He replaced the air and got it running after about a week, but told me I needed better insulation, a secondary drainage line and repairs on the first drainage line. But he said don't call me for at least a week. One week later the air stopped working. He came back and replaced the blower and charged me $50. Shouldn't he have checked the blower before? I then called the following week to schedule the remainder of the work and HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I have since had my trusted company come and inspect his work. They said he did a half ass job, did not tell me that things were not up to code, and that he overcharged me for mediocre equipment. He left the job incomplete. DON'T CALL HENRY. read more

Henry and I chatted about olives while he took a break from diagnosing our HVAC issue to have his partner fetch some more repair bits from the van. Once he figured it out, the fix went in and we verified that we were indeed not going to melt in this valley summer heat today. Did I mention I went from calling him to enjoying cold air in about an hour and a half? I won't guarantee timeliness for him since it's his schedule and subject to who knows what, but our home didn't even get a chance to start baking us due to his quick response and action, and all before what most consider normal business hours. We'll rest easy, both for the cool air and for knowing a kind professional who enjoys a good side chat is out there and can bring it back again at a reasonable price if we need him to. read more

It's Sunday, it's 4 pm, and it's un-freakinbelievably hot. The temperature in my house has crept up to 89 degrees. I called Henry (thanks to Yelp) and he was SO polite and helpful. Turns out he was done for the day but made his way over to me anyhow. Within 20 minutes of arriving, my air conditioning was working again. Hallelujah! Thank you Henry! read more

Our A/C went out at 10:00pm here in Studio City during one of the worst heat waves. I called Henry at 9:00am the next morning and he was here within 45 minutes! Within 30 minutes he was on the roof of our two-story building, switched out a burnt capacitor and presto the AC was back up and running! This was an urgent situation for us as it was over 104 today and we have two 15 year old cats and two small chihuahuas we needed to keep cool. I will be forever grateful for Henry dropping everything to come to our rescue and for a very reasonable price. read more

The hottest week of the year. 100+ every day. Every other AC repair place in the city said it'd be at least a week before they could service our broken roof unit. These guys showed up bright and early the next day, smiling and efficient, and fixed it in no time. A+ service. Highly recommended. read more

Henry at Active is the best! Came within an hour on a Saturday that is sure do be over 90 degrees! Diagnosed and fixed the issue promptly. Fair pricing too! I am also in the service industry so I know these guys are more than fair! Don't call anyone until you've called Henry! read more

Henry was amazing! Our A/C went out and we have small animals that need to be temperature controlled, so my husband and I were freaking out. I called 12 different companies, and he was the only one who came out same day. He walked me through every step of what he was doing and showed me all of the readings. He put in a pound of freon. I knew what my neighbor had paid with a different company, and Henry was more competitively priced. It took him under an hour. He was also extremely friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Henry was very friendly, efficient, professional and descriptive. He went out of his way to help us replace a filter and he fixed our heater within hours of being called for the job. Of course our heater went out on the coldest night in Los Angeles but we were only cold for a bit thanks to Active AC And Heater Repairn! read more

They came over to my house and fixed my A/C in less than an hour!!! Very friendly and reasonably priced! Great work! I will be referring them to my clients in the future! read more

New Years Eve our Heater went out! I called several companies that were reviewed by Yelpers and Henry was the only one who answered his phone. He was too booked to help me then so we suffered for three days but since he was so nice on the phone and the fact that he answered his phone we arranged to have him come look at it on the fourth day and he came out and found the problem, a burned out motor, took it out and got back at the end of the day and the heat was on at 7 pm! He's an honest guy and he won't say something he isn't sure of. He asks for a pretty high fee to check out the problem but subtracts it from the bill if you use him for the work. The total was very reasonable. Definitely would recommend him. read more

Had a leak. They came, they figured out the problem and then they fixed it. The AC worked great. About a month later my AC went out. I called the guys back up. They came back the next day and discovered that the AC worked fine and the only problem was that I blew a fuse. I should have checked. The guys were really cool about it and didn't charge me for the visit on my stupidity. Highly recommend. read more

Henry at Active AC rescued me in the middle of a heat wave. The service was great. He worked with me to figure out a solution that worked for my budget. Highly recommend. read more

Charlie and Jeremy from Active A/C rescued us in the middle of a long heatwave. Charlie was so knowledgeable and patient explaining our complicated situation and gave us a variety of solutions. He came at the end of his very long day when the house wouldn't cool down. The team is so customer service-oriented, friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend these guys and will be having Charlie back to check our system before winter comes! read more
