I just purchased a home recently and the fan in my condenser unit stopped moving. I contacted Jason…read morehoping to schedule a service appointment, and he asked me to first find out the age and the original installer of the unit from the previous owner first because it might still be under warranty. Turned out he was right! I was able to locate the company that installed my unit and they came out to fix the issue for me. Even though I did not use Jason's service, I am extremely thankful that he was so honest because I just saved hundreds of dollars. It speaks volumes about his integrity. Thank you again, Jason.

** YOU HAVE TO SHAME THEM INTO PULLING A PERMIT THEY SHOULD HAVE PULLED BECAUSE IT'S THE LAW!**…read moreI called Yesenia at the City of Santa Maria and she said the permit was just pulled today. AFTER the install was completed and after my Yelp review. What a shady business. CENTRAL COAST HEATING & AIR DOESN'T PULL PERMITS! THAT PUTS HOMEOWNERS AT RISK! I'm extremely disappointed with Central Coast Heating & Air and feel obligated to warn other homeowners. After some red flags, I contacted the local Building Division directly and confirmed that this company did NOT pull the required permits for the work they performed. That's not a minor oversight; proper permitting is a California requirement for HVAC replacements and major installations, and it protects the homeowner, ensures inspections, and keeps insurance valid. It's in the mechanical code! Instead of being upfront or professional, they pushed ahead without following basic legal procedures. There are plenty of reputable HVAC companies on the Central Coast who actually follow code, take responsibility for their work, and don't cut corners. Unfortunately, Central Coast Heating & Air is not one of them. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want your job done legally, safely, and with integrity. UNLESS THEY SUDDENLY START PULLING PERMITS! PROTECT YOURSELVES! ******** What I didn't hear in your reply is that you pulled the required HVAC permit with the City of Santa Maria or any of the counties that you operate in. The building divisions and CSLB are on to your tactics. I am happy to remove my review if you can provide the permit # and applied and issue date that are verifiable with Building Department. Thanks in advance.*******

So, long story short, I called Zierman Plumbing after a failed attempt at having my home warranty…read morecompany respond to a claim I had made four days prior. I had an active uncontrollable leak, and the provider that the home warranty company contracted with was a non responsive zero on my problem. After they didn't respond and the home warranty company threw up their hands, telling me I had to wait until the contracted provider (All Systems Plumbing, you can see the review I left for them if you look at my other reviews) made his report to the warranty company. When it was obvious I was on my own, I made an after hours call to Zierman and explained a little about what was going on and asked for the rates etc. she put me in touch with Chico, who was on call that weekend. Chico called me right back and I explained the issue, and Chico passed on his thoughts about what I was in for, noting that he would have to take a look at what was happening to really nail down the issue. I thanked him for his candor and said I would call back to "pull the trigger" should the warranty company completely fail me. Chico gave me a follow up call the following morning, I told him I was still waiting on the warranty company but I would get back as soon as I knew something. Chico offered to call later in the afternoon to see what was up. By the time he had called in the afternoon, I was done with the warranty company and ready to move forward with paying out of pocket. Chico said he would come the following morning, (Sunday) to see what was what. Within five minutes of Chico getting here on Sunday, he correctly diagnosed that my hot water supply line to the house was the culprit and made his way under the house to see where it was leaking. Chico quickly found that a CPVC "TEE" had split and was the cause of the leak. He then related that he did not have the similar glue in fittings but did have the more expensive "Shark bite" push lock fitting that he could use to get it fixed today. I asked him what he thought would be the best for the situation and he recommended waiting until the following day and use the glue in fittings that are similar to the existing fittings. Since we could shut off the water supply, that was what we did. Chico let me know he had a couple of jobs in the AM, but would be out in the afternoon, and get the leak fixed. Sure enough, Chico called early afternoon to let me know he was on his way. When he got here, he got right to it, and within the hour he had the bad joint cut out and the replacement installed. Another way that Chico went the extra mile was he called me the following morning to ask how things were and make sure that the issue was solved. Chico was very professional and very communicative which, as a homeowner with a problem was key to putting me at ease and let me know that he appreciated my business. He of course knew of my problem with the home warranty provider and was keen on keeping me in the loop. I have used Zierman in the past for other projects at the home and will continue to use Zierman plumbing and tell anyone I know who needs a plumbing professional to give Zierman a call first. These guys are professional, attentive, and are not out to sell you the most expensive repair. Thanks Chico for helping me out when our warranty company failed us at the worst time possible.

We recently replaced our gas central heating system with a high efficiency air source heat pump…read moresystem. We got bids from two other nearby HVAC companies and Central Coast was in the middle of the pack. It turned out that the lowest price company could not find the equipment from a dealer that they had bid to us. So, we canceled their contract and went back to see if Central Coast could deliver on their proposal. There was no issue with Central Coast being able to get the equipment that they bid for our job. Central Coast was able to schedule the work at our convenience. They showed up exactly when they told us they would and completed the work in the length of time they told us it would take. We are very happy with the equipment and the installation and would recommend Central Coast to anyone. On budget. On time. No add-on costs. Excellent service.

One of my air-conditioning units stopped working, so I called a repairman I had used in the past…read more After seeming a bit unsure of the problem, he said the unit needed a new capacitor--but that did not solve it. I decided to try Kenneth's based on the excellent reviews, and I'm very glad I did. Kenneth came out, went straight to the condenser outside without needing to enter the attic, and identified the problem within about 30 seconds. He repaired it quickly and efficiently. He was so competent that I had him return a couple of weeks later to service my other units. Kenneth is extraordinarily efficient, personable, and clear in explaining both the issue and the repair. I also appreciated being able to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe in the middle of a heat wave. Highly recommended.

The central air-conditioning in my home was not working. Another company had come out a week before…read moreand added Freon. However it still was not blowing cool air. I called Jon at AMS, and he came out the next day. No surprise, there was no Freon in the unit. He added Freon and came back a couple of days later to check the pressure. Unfortunately there was not enough Freon in the system for it to operate. Clearly was a leak somewhere. He spent time in the attic and outside attempting to identify the source of the leak. Unfortunately he was not able to determine the source of the leak. He took the time to isolate each part of the system and to pressurize each part again. He returned three days later and was able to identify the source of the leak. It was in the condenser unit. Fortunately, he called the manufacturer of the unit and discovered it was still under warranty. He ordered the replacement condenser to be shipped from back east, at no cost. Once the condenser arrived at his shop, he came out to my house the next day and installed the new part, and was able to get the entire system up and running like new! Plus, the new part came with a new 10 year warranty! I would like to praise Jon for his patience and skills to isolate and determine the source of that leak. And to thank him for obtaining a new part which has a new warranty on it. Thank you Jon for your patience and skills to repair the air-conditioning unit and make my house comfortable again! I would give this contractor 10 stars if I could ! Jon at AMS is the only heating and air-conditioning service that I would call in the future!
