    Burnt board

    Our AC had gone out and Akko (Farooq) showed up almost instantly after we explained the issue. He replaced a board whose capacitor had gone out and there was some damage due to burning (see picture). He explained what the issue was and with the refrigerant being low he Ali's did a refill. While in the process he also replaced the filter free of charge. Very detail oriented and explained all steps in the troubleshooting. Great experience- I've given his contact info to my sister and neighbor that have also used his services. Overall very satisfied and a repeat customer if any HVAC issues come up.

    We decided to ditch our portable AC unit and had a mini split installed in our living room. AKKO was kind enough to explain all the details to me about the different options. He & his partner were polite, timely, professional, and kind. Our unit looks and feels great. Thanks!

    Slimline AC unit

    Farooq is responsive, professional, affordable, and has great customer service. He installed our AC unit, a Google Nest, and replaced our ducts back in winter of 2020. Come the summer, we noticed the AC unit was not working. As everyone knows, summer is incredibly busy for HVAC professionals, but Farooq was able to squeeze me in that day, determined the issue was a manufacturer error code, and was able to resolve it in a matter of a day at no extra charge! His service is impeccable, his handiwork is efficient, and he was able to get us exactly what we wanted.

    After years of enduring the summer heat with just fans, we finally gave in. Our unit was 24 years old and we had been calling companies for years trying to figure out what we could afford but was a good model with high SEER ratings.  I called Farooq on a Tuesday, he came by on Thursday. We talked about what kind of ac I wanted and he suggested an acpro Xseries condenser unit. We needed to replace the 4 ton furnace, ac condenser and 4 ton evaporator coil and all the components with it, which acpro sells as a package deal.  He ordered the package on Friday. Next Tuesday, 1 exact week later, Farooq showed up with his sidekick awesome son Joseph. They were at my house at 8am, taking apart and setting up for when the package arrived at 1030am. By 330pm, my complete installation was done.  He gave us a GREAT!! deal. I saved at least $5000 I'm sure because of all the quotes I have received over the years, especially in the last 2 months.  He did an amazing job and he's very clean! He had a recycling man come over and pickup our old unit while installing our new one. I would definitely recommend him.  Don't let his accent deter you. Ask questions and he communicates very well. Also, it's been 4 months since he installed the ac/heater unit.....and I only used the wonderful ac. I recently used the heater and it was much hotter than I expected. Worked too well! I recommend him to all my neighbors and family!

It was a Big job, and I must say the West Coast team did an excellent job. Communication was great throughout, and the entire team was a pleasure to work with.

The installation went smooth and passed all inspections with flying colors! Thank you to the West Coast Team for the Great service!

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.

Our main points of contact were Sal and Gabe, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They gave us a great price, completed the work super fast, and stayed in constant communication throughout the entire process. They made sure we were happy with every aspect of the project and went out of their way to accommodate anything we needed. Both Sal and Gabe are extremely hardworking, honest, and genuinely nice guys who are a pleasure to work with. I had a ton of questions along the way, and they always took the time to answer everything, no matter when I asked. More recently, I thought we might have had a roof leak. It turned out the issue was coming from the slab, not the roof -- but Sal and Gabe still came out immediately to help us troubleshoot. Even though it wasn't their responsibility, they went out of their way to help us figure out what was going on and what steps to take next. That kind of service is rare. I don't leave many reviews, but these guys absolutely deserve one. They are some of the nicest and hardest-working people I've dealt with, and I've already recommended them to all my neighbors. If you're looking for solar, a new roof, or air conditioning work, don't go anywhere else -- Global Heating & Air will take care of you from start to finish. We're extremely happy with everything they did.

We also got quotes from 4 other suppliers on similar systems. Global's pricing was very competitive and included several important things like permits and HERS testing. I am happy to report that things got even better. The installation team lead by Gabe was superb. Friendly, organized, and respectful. The installation was impressive in quality and the clean up each day appreciated. Every single person was engaging and had great attention to detail. We are particular with work done on our home and can't believe that our expectations were surpassed. Thanks to Sal, Gabe and the guys.

As a Realtor, I'm used to vetting contractors, so I gathered five different quotes for this project--including bids from Tytum, Progressive Heating, and Fuse AC. Airmaxx not only provided the best price quote, but their proposal was the most complete. They were the only ones who made the permitting process completely seamless, which was critical for my tight timeline. And great equipment recommendation. The Carrier 37MURA High-Efficiency Heat Pump--it's a "slim line" model, so it has a much smaller footprint than those old bulky cubes, which was perfect for my San Diego side yard. Plus, it uses variable-speed inverter technology, making it really quiet and efficient. The communication with their office was prompt and professional from the initial Yelp inquiry to the final invoice. They scheduled the work quickly, and the installation of the new Lennox furnace was fast and clean. It's rare to find a company that hits the trifecta of best price, highest quality, and fastest turnaround. I highly recommend the Airmaxx team for anyone in San Diego looking for reliable HVAC work!

But it's really rare (in my experience) when a service company not only exceeds every expectation but continues to year after year. Krystal is incredible and her attention to follow up and personal communication is the best I've experienced. My system is not new but we did have a new Ecobee thermostat installed a few years back. Huge fan of this company and I'd recommend to anyone! They installed it easily and works (worked haha) perfectly until we had an accident in the attic (by no fault of theirs) that damaged the wire leading to the thermostat. Billy shot right over and diagnosed the issue due to his electrical smarts (and that he can fit up in my attic the size of a mouse trap). Sorry Billy. With old houses and older units, like ours, sometimes rewiring can be really difficult and many times not the best solution. Which was the case in our situation. Instead, the best fix for the wiring issue, was no wiring at all. Thank you technology! Billy suggested installing a wireless remote transmitter on the furnace that could talk to my favorite Ecobee thermostat. Simple solution to an old house problem. The system is up working properly now and it was all done quickly and with no stress. How many times can you say that with a non functioning system in an old house! From the techs and their attention to detail and Krystal and her epic work and customer support, they have my business for life.

When I did have them look at the job site they did not try to upsell me or change the price that was quoted. I loved that! I hired them to install two mini-splits.

After installation they went over how to operate the systems and ensure that I was happy with everything. So glad that we found them. Thank you Gorgis!

I'm not a licensed electrician nor have any knowledge of how this job is suppose to be completed. So after having another electrician look at the job he was shocked to see the fire hazard of how it was connected for power. And mentioned how it was supposed to be connected to the breaker box. And to call them back in to complete the installation job correctly. I was to provide the materials and the technician, Najah Gorgis, was to install the mini split. but instead of explaining what he might need to connect the mini split to the breaker box (which the other electrician who advised me said was suppose to happen) Najah Gorgis asked for an extension cord and wired the unit together hap hazard resulting in outlets burning up when plugged in and causing a potential fire rather than letting me know if additional materials were needed to connect to the breaker box like it's suppose to be. Because of my lack of knowledge in this field, I'm still not sure what all was needed to do the job correctly & safely, but for the record the mini split is only 8 feet from the breaker box and would have gladly ordered or picked up whatever was needed. So in short, if you're looking for a job to be done correctly and safe, these aren't the guys. They don't have your back and will put you at risk for a fire nor will they tell you what is needed to do the job correctly. When I called them back they asked for double the amount of money initially paid for the installation to correct the problem. I'm a single woman and a disabled veteran and it's hard enough surviving in San Diego but I suppose It's a hustle and I fell in it. So not AC for the summer. Choose a better company than these guys if you want a job done safe and correct.
