I highly recommend Advantage Air. They came out so quickly, and though I knew my ancient a/c needed to be replaced with something modern and efficient, I couldnt really afford that. Milan (the owner, who came out himself along with a great tech) figured out a way to get me up and running without using obsolete parts, and starting the path to the new machine I really need for not much more than the quopte I got a few years ago to just fix the old one. That fix would need an expensive visit EVERY year we kept it. Milan was too honorable to go that way. hE CLEARLY EXPLAINED THE OPTIONS AND THE LONG TERM COSTS ASSOCIATED SO i COULD MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. I felt sure he was telling it like it is about giving me a great deal. But curious me had to go online and check out the parts pricing anyway.. Now I know he did. In fact I'll go as far as to say Advantage air was the very model of how a growing business SHOULD run. quality work and happy customers first. Enough profit to keep the business going, but but nott gouging people just because you can get away with it. Not being greedy. Taking what you earn and needno gouging. Just an honest deal. I think everyone went away happy. So far the new (mostly) a'c is working like a charm. I can already telll its more efficient because there arent any icicles in my garage. LOL thats right the old one wasted so much cold air that it created and froze condensation on the run off pipe, which eventually built into actual Icecicles! The new one is sending the cold air where its supposed to be. Keeping US ccol. It uses less expensive freon that doesnt damage the environment like the old one did. Milan was totally professional and he was quick about getting us fixed. He bent over backwards to make sure an issue that cropped up a day or so later wanst caused by them at no charge. worried about the work, and that no errors had been made. *(My problem was totally unrelated and one of those DUH human errors. Like your phone wont work because you forgot to charge your battery). I only checked about the a/c because it was the only change made since the other worked. When you call Avantage. you get a live person who will answer your questions/ Even toss you some handy tricks that might be a soluution. Likw maybe the car wiuld run better if it had gas in it? If they can, they usually come out the same day. Even if they cant they get there fast. great time management. I cant think of anything bad to say about About advantage air unless its that they ought to expand to every service business I use. I am ffairly gulible and easy to rip off, so many contractors do. Advantage had the opportunity and chose to do a good, honest job at a great honest price instead. You dont get better than that in my book. . read more

I've always lived in homes that have Day & Night brand HVAC until I moved into my current home 15 years ago which had a Rheem HVAC already working superb, I decided that due my great satisfaction with the reliability of my Rheem units there would be no other brand in the world better for my home. It wasn't drastic but my units were about 26 years old and I happened to have on hand extra money to invest in upgrades to my home so I decided to look into a brand new Rheem HVAC for my home. I called two HVAC companies who I didn't realize at the time didn't offer Rheem, they basically told me that even though my units are running great well be on their life expectancy that my units are nothing but junk and what am I thinking for running this brand in my home. So those companies were quickly swept off of my property. So searching through the Rheem website is how I found Advantage Air, the salesman Christopher came over and didn't bad mouth my old units he told me all about what Advantage Air could do for my home. I'm very picky about upgrading and not downgrading when I do work to my home so questions started coming up, so the owner Milan came to my home and and put my fears to rest by offering me the perfect Rheem furnace for my home. After city inspectors caused the whole project to be totally replaned, tons of adjustments had to be made to make it pass inspection Milan was with me the whole way and didn't abandon me. He sent Oscar and Alex for the installation, It turned out to be a complicated installation but they took their time to carefully install the perfect system in my home. My new system is so perfect it's more then just ductwork and units, It magical all thanks to Advantage Air. If you want magic, CALL ADVANTAGE AIR!!!!!!! read more

We have a 1934 Duplex that had very old heaters(gravity) and no A/C. After this last summer we couldn't take it anymore so we decided to upgrade both units with AC and forced air heating. Looked on Yelp, AngiesList and Service Pro and got a few estimates. We were very impressed with Advantage Air from the beginning. The owner, Milan came by and looked over the house carefully. He returned with a estimate and a plan for each apartment unit and sat down with both my husband and I to review the estimate and the one from another company. Milan is just wonderful, he is a great listener and pays attention to detail. He told us about the best heating and A/C units available and had pictures of his work. He also found discounts available. His installation teams(one for each apartment unit) were absolutely great! The attic space they had to work in was so challenging sloping from 2 feet to 6 inches. They were able to get a vent to a space we thought sure would not be possible. Dio the lead on the upstairs unit was really careful and I appreciated his concern for detail. Jose was also wonderful and very professional and installed the lower units systems without a hitch. They were all neat and careful. The job was completed on time. After the installation, Milan returned to review the work, make sure we knew how to properly operate the systems and helped me fill out the rebate forms. I just can't say enough good things about this company and I highly recommend them! FYI their company has offices in Sherman Oaks and Long Beach. read more

RELIABILITY, REASONABLE and TRUSTWORTHY! These words came to mind when I crossed path with Advantage Air in Long Beach during my desperate moment when I needed help to deal with my broken down heating-air conditioning unit and worried about repair cost. Advantage Air sent Juan Espinoza who I thought is a Yelp celebrity here in Long Beach, California based on the reviews. He is very efficient, professional, and knowledgeable. He helped me understand and took away the mystery of maintaining my heating-air conditioning unit. After he did the repairs to my unit, I began to understand why. He thoroughly checked the unit, explained the situation, gave me my options and costs, and did all the repairs including tune up. Advantage Air office staff, Kayla, is amazing in helping and setting up my repair appointment. She kept me posted with the repair guy's arrival; and later, she even gave me the option for an earlier appointment when an opening became available. Just like Juan, Kayla is very efficient, professional, and knowledgeable. They are both great assets to their company. I was apprehensive when I was scouting around for repair service; but after experiencing the service from Advantage Air, my fear went away. I hope more companies and employees follow the footsteps of Advantage Air and I hope Advantage Air continue to maintain this. It is not easy to find good contractor or service provider; I found one here. Thank you very much again. I will always HIGHLY recommend, actually I have recommended, Advantage Air. read more

I was referred to Advantage Air/Milan Chawla by a friend of a friend. It's funny, but whenever I have someone come to my house for repairs on anything, I usually feel like I may be taken for a ride because I know nothing about "insert system here." Not only did Milan send out a technician to diagnose my AC problem, but he actually showed up himself because he happened to be in the area and wanted to ensure that the job was done right and I was satisfied with the service. Milan and his tech took the time to explain to me how the system works, in detail, and why they were taking the steps they were taking to fix the problem. I not only ended up feeling like they were troubleshooting the exact problem in the most efficient way possible, but that I got a great deal on the solution (re-charge of my refrigerant). He understood my exact needs (not wanting to put in a new system although I probably need it) and worked toward a fix that will prolong my 20 year old AC unit. He also told me what I need to do to maintain the system properly, which admittedly, I have not done (even close) in six years living there. It was a bit like the dentist getting on my about not flossing...not pleasant to hear, but what I needed to hear and do. Thanks Milan and Ronnie!!! read more

My dad's AC went out and he called his regular AC people, who came and looked and said they would get back to him with an estimate. They never called him back. They still haven't called him back. A good AC guy is hard to fine. This company was referred to me by a friend. My dad is recovering from knee surgery and is stuck in the house and we needed someone reliable and quick. I called Advantage Air and they were so professional and kind. The crew came out right away and gave us a great deal. People were working on it right away; they worked all day completely replacing the unit, in and out of the attic, and finished by 3PM. We had cold air right away. They set us up with an eco friendly unit that does not make a lot of noise (actually no noise) and that will save us a lot of money. The workers were fast, friendly, and completely competent. They showed us how the previous AC had not only been improperly serviced, but was actually a fire hazard. I have gone through a lot of handymen and workers in my day and these guys are the real deal. It was one of the smoothest transactions I have ever had. I wish everyone I dealt with could be this competent! I HIGHLY recommend Advantage Air. They are honest, knowledgeable, and affordable. 5 stars! read more

I needed a part replaced on my furnace. Brenda is courteous and professional. She spent extra time with me to find a date that worked best because my work schedule is not flexible. She responds in a timely manner which is much appreciated. I had my HVAC installed by Advantage Air and have the annual tune-ups. Jorge checked to see if my part was still under warranty and replaced my dual pressure switch quickly. He sent a text on his ETA, arrived on time, and showed respect for my home (He always wore his shoe covers.) BUT, one of the main reasons why I stay with Advantage Air is because of Milan. He called me when the repair had to be rescheduled. He looked out for my best interests in order to protect my health when his repair guy was unexpectedly not feeling well the day he was supposed to arrive. I appreciate his concern for the health of his customers. Most of the time, I do not receive calls from the owners of the company, so it meant a lot that Milan personally took the time to call me. He also helped me with a stressful home repair that was not related to my HVAC. The extra time and advice he gave me shows that he cares about his customers. read more

I was referred to Advantage Air by a family member who's opinion I trust greatly. My 35+yr old furnace was at the end of it's life and needed to be replaced. I can say with total assurance that Advantage Air's service was 100% consistent with all the reviews and ratings that appeared here on Yelp (which I of course checked before agreeing to the work). The installers were polite, clean, thorough, and walked me through nearly every step of what was being done as they were installing. The head installer Jose went above and beyond the scope work and deep cleaned my AC coil box (which after removing my old furnace, he saw to be extremely dirty and rusted inside). I couldn't afford to replace my AC at the time, but it the guys serviced it up well enough to hopefully get me a few extra years. My new furnace is working GREAT! It heats the house terrifically. I definitely would recommend Advantage with no hesitation. Having dealt with plenty of contractors over time, I'd say that Advantage Air presents a good model on what it means to provide quality and service to people!!! read more

Our ancient (1952) furnace quit and probably wasn't worth the danger etc. involved in repairing it. After talking/having inspections from several companies, we chanced upon Advantage Air. Unlike some other companies, Milan made an appointment to inspect and actually showed up on time. He took a careful look at our situation and explained what needed to be done and why. He then made an installation appointment. His technicians, the splendid Carlos and Ernie, showed up on time and went swiftly to work. Carlos consulted us as needed and explained what he needed to know lucidly and politely. They cleaned up every day so we were not forced to put up with a big mess. They completed the job as scheduled! Milan continued be helpful and arranged for the disposal of our old monster of a furnace. The whole business was accomplished with dispatch and remarkably little suffering on our part. We were greatly relieved by the speed and ease with which Milan, Carlos, and Ernie completed this project. They merit their 5 star rating! M. Schaeffer Mar Vista read more

The company I work for had been using a company for our air conditioning needs for several years. Even after spending thousands of dollars, they were never able to figure out what the cause of our ongoing problems were. Apparently, they were tired of trying because eventually they wouldn't show up as scheduled or simply wouldn't return our calls anymore. I decided to look on Yelp for another company in hopes to find a solution to our continuous unsolved problems. I called Advantage Air because of their great reviews. They sent Juan out that same day & I went over all of our issues with him. He knew exactly what our problems were & what he needed to do to fix them. The next day he came back with all the supplies & fixed everything. We are extremely happy with the service he provided us & will continue to use Advantage Air for all of our A/C & Heating needs in the future. As well as, referring them to everyone we know. Thank you Juan for the great service & attitude. read more

We had a major leak in our AC and of course if happened during a heat wave. Advantage Air was really courteous on the phone and worked with us to make an appointment that fit with my schedule. The tech provided a thorough assessment of the situation which involved a choice between a costly repair or a new unit. The owner Milan was able to come out within a few hours to explain my options. He was professional, knowledgeable and took his time to explain the options in detail even though it was late in the day. They were able to come out at 8am the next morning to do an install. Due to the challenging nature of the leak our install took two days and they were totally on top of it. I had a business trip and Milan followed up by phone to keep me apprised of the situation. I really appreciated the diligence in taking care of our issue. Milan was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend his company. read more

I started my journey to replace a thermostat. When i realized it was a little over my head i headed to Yelp to find a company to assist. Found advantage air and many positive reviews. I called at about 5 or 6 and the receptionist answered quickly and asked to call me back as she was on the other line. I was contacted back within 10 minutes and an appointment was scheduled for the next day. After some issues due to the old thermostat being installed differently than most newer thermostats a part that was not ordered was needed. This issue was resolved quickly and a new appointment was set. Juan was extremely professional in his work ethic. He ensured to clean up any mess that was made and walked me through the operation of the new unit. I was very happy with the level of service i received from Juan. Would say that they have earned my business for any future needs and my recommendation. read more

Based on BBB and Yelp I made an appointment with Advantage Air today. They were prompt, courteous and very helpful answering my many questions. My AC was running fine; I just wanted a check of the charge. Juan E. offered a more detailed service, but I keep my system up pretty well myself, so I passed. Juan went beyond what was required and cheerfully mentioned I could add a booster (assist start cap) to my unit to help with compressor start-up and extend its life. He was suggesting I could do it as we had talked about me recently replacing the Run Cap. I asked if he had one that he could install for me (I'm lazy), and in a few minutes, he had it in and had cleaned up my coils and unit. I highly recommend these folks and will use them the next time - and there will be a next time with my old unit - I need repair or a newer installation. If you are lucky, you'll get Juan E. as your Tech. read more

Not knowing where to turn when we had issues with controlling heating and cooling in our two-story home, we received quotes from a number of local companies, but nobody was quite like Milan and Advantage Air. Milan was professional and followed up with the most competitive and comprehensive estimate. The way he and his team explained what needed to be done was like drawing a picture in crayon for those of us that are not Engineers. It's amazing how understanding the scope of the work trumps price when making a decision to move forward on a project. When it came to the work, Danny and Jose were true professionals. They were so quiet (although they were carrying large pieces of equipment through the house), it was hard to believe that they were working in our attic the whole time. They were thorough, clean and took the time to explain the entire system before leaving. read more
