I am blown away by the professionalism and kindness of all the employees I dealt with at Basic Air. Vik was referred to me by a neighbor. He was polite on the phone, referred me to Tanya in the office, who promptly set up a same-day inspection by Moe. They checked everything out and determined all I needed was a new filter. This alone is no big deal, but they were a second opinion after Cole's Service came out to service our HVAC unit and compressor that they installed in 2018. The told me my inside unit was shot - new filter, damaged coil and damaged motherboard...blah, blah, blah...they also suggested we replace the compressor since is was old and they wouldn't warranty the inside unit running off an old compressor. Bottom line, they wanted to charge me $21K for what turned out to be unnecessary work. They saved me $21K and have earned my business and loyalty for life! read more

Basic Air installed my HVAC in 2016. I've had ZERO problems with it even though I hadn't been on top of the annual maintenance as I should've been. I want to be more systematic about the maintenance of my HVAC so I gave Basic Air a call and left a voice message for a service request. I received a call back from Tanya shortly after, and she fit me into their busy schedule and said I would receive a call 30 minutes before the technician arrived. Tanya also outlined the estimated cost for the maintenance. I received a call from Tanya the day before to let me know the time window the technician would arrive the next day. Sure enough, the next day I received a call from the technician Mo who said he would arrive in about 35-40 minutes. I can't speak highly enough about Mo's service. He was professional, thorough, and mindful. He did a great job servicing the HVAC, and now both units work and look good as new! He took great care in cleaning up after himself and was incredibly courteous throughout the process. And Tanya's quote for the service call was exactly on point! Basic Air is a family owned business run by Abraham, Hosanna, and Vic. They were a delight to work with when I had my HVAC installed, and I'm so happy to know they take great care when hiring employees like Mo and Tanya. They have set the standard for how a business should be run. I encourage anyone reading this to get their HVAC needs handled by Basic Air! P.S. I have made sure to sign up to get annual maintenance reminders from them. Basic Air is the absolute best and I couldn't imagine getting my HVAC service from anyone else. read more

A big thank you to Vik and his team. We used Basic Air to purchase a new HVAC system. They did amazing work and had great prices. Best pricing out there. Installed in one day. We had a thermostat issue and they came out the same day we called and resolved it. I highly recommend this team. read more

We were referred to this company from others in our community as we needed to replace our AC. Amazing service and quality. Fair prices. We highly recommend them for service and replacing your unit. Will also make suggestions for efficiency. read more

This is a company of excellence in everything they do. They really listen and assess the needs of their customers and serve them with great workmanship. They are clean in their work and leave the place better than they found it. They don't cut corners. They were such a blessing to our family in getting the AC installed in a reasonable time this summer. Blessings on Abraham and Hozanna and their team! read more

The Basic Air team is awesome. The crew is polite, professional, and on time. They helped us when we needed it most - after our AC broke in the middle of July Now we have fresh cool air pumping thru every vent in our home! Love this local business read more

Basic Air - Our beautiful new AC system - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

We hired this company to come do a regular maintenance on our furnace and ac unit for $250. He initially told us we should replace our condenser fan because it wasn't as fast as it should. I told him we wanted to hold off for now so we can get some quotes since it was a pricey repair. He said okay and let me know he'd just clean everything. Then he said the wires were melted and needed to be replaced. He disconnected our ac unit without asking permission. We told him that I wanted it reconnected since it's so hot and he refused stating jts a fire hazard. I understand his concern but he should not be disconnecting things without our permission. It felt like he wanted to create urgency so we would ask him to replace it right away. Now I'm scrambling to find someone who can help with the repair while we are melting in the heat. I regret hiring this company and won't be using them in the future. read more

Of course I needed semi-emergency service on the hottest day of the year! I called and requested service and BasicAir sent out an awesome technician as quickly as that day's schedule could make it happen. He arrived and had great customer service, clearly explained our issues with options for how to fix them. Great price (especially considering my emergency need). Super respectful of the property and went above and beyond cleaning up the outdoor work area before he left. Once again so pleased with the service provided by BasicAir. Highly recommend! read more

Basic Air - We were worried our new AC unit was going to block our walkway... check out this slim guy Basic Air was able to install! So cool! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

What a pity. We really did like Vik. He came to our house to estimate a full replacement for our hvac and furnace. He was super nice, knowledgeable, and we really wanted to see if we could do business with them. He told me he knows we are looking to make a decision this week so he'd go back to the office and send us a quote that day. Awesome! I get nothing that day or night. No problem, I get things are busy. I follow up with a reminder text the next morning to ask about it. Vik says he's heading to the shop and he will check on it in 40 minutes. I get nothing from him. Later that afternoon , I text him again to make sure I didn't get an email yet. He told me he's working on it. Well. Nothing. No email. No text. What a shame. We really liked these guys but it seems they either have too much business or just don't want our business. read more

I am long overdue for a review for these guys! We have worked with them for almost four years now after being referred by friends. They have done our AC installation and services. I can't recommend them enough. They're so honest, reliable, and knowledgable. It's hard to know who to trust or whether someone is simply trying to upsell you based on limited knowledge, and I've never felt that way with them. They have competitive pricing and take the extra step to explain things to you so you know you are getting honest service. We had an incident over this weekend that left me panicked where our AC went out after a brief power outage, leaving our house and my 18 month old's room way too hot. We were able to manage over the weekend and they showed up at 8a Monday, fixing our unit before I even left for work. We have recommended them to several neighbors and friends who have all had equally positive experiences. Thank you Tanya, Moe, Abe, Vic and the whole Basic Air team for being so reliable! read more

Basic Air just completed a 2 day installation of a new air condoning/heating system for our house. They also replaced all the ductwork. The crew was fantastic. They were very professional and courteous. The installation brought our 39 year old house into the 21st century with technology and efficiency. Thanks Vik and the team for a great experience. read more

We are very happy with the service / installation provided by basic air. After lengthy research on heat pumps I decided on Daikin. We then researched Daikin installers in our area. From the start we felt comfortable with Basic Air. They provided a competitive quote for a well thought through configuration. The install went well and we are very happy about the unit. It is very quiet - you basically don't hear it. Abraham, Vik and Hozanna were easy to work with. read more

Basic air is amazing, and the people there are such great people and very friendly. My air conditioner stopped working and they were able to help me from start to finish. Now my home is back to being cool and comfortable again! I highly recommend anyone in need of air conditioning repair or maintenance work. read more

The HVAC unit installed is awesome!! Best air conditioner I have ever had super quiet. Super cold. I sent the following text to the owner. Abraham we are very very pleased with the system. Your guys were top notch. Very friendly and professional. They did a little extra work and said Vic said take care of us which made my wife very happy. The HVAC unit is amazing. Can't believe I have something so nice. read more

We have used Basic Air for annual service a few years now. I have always been satisfied with the thoroughness and professional attention. This year, Moe was our technician. He meticulously cleaned the A/C unit, checked the coolant and even washed outside of unit. Spick & Span it is :) Our heater in attic was also inspected and a clean filter replaced. It's such a relief to feel confident our cooling and heating units are well tuned and good to go another year. The phone staff are always polite and helpful as well. Thank you Basic Air for your quality annual service. read more

Basic Air has been most helpful to me for my air conditioning and heating needs. I just had my yearly check-up and Hadar was great in assisting me setting up a new thermostat. I know he gave me extra time and help to understand a new piece of tech in my home. Thank you Hadar and thank you to Basic Air! read more

We finally had AC put in during a home renovation while I was preggo with baby #2. We interviewed 6 companies and Basic Air had the best,honest, vibes! The other companies were trying to up-sell us on more expensive products and were virtual very pushy with signing up and wouldn't take no for an answer. I was born and raised without air-conditioning my whole life so this was new to our family. Vic, his father Abraham, mother Hosannah, Tanya, and their whole family were so wonderful to us, we felt like a part of their family! Right when they installed the AC and I first felt the cold air, I instantly felt a sigh of relief. Being pregnant in a house full of heat was very uncomfortable. We would have to stay in hotels just for the AC so my feet wouldn't swell up! We had a wall AC but it wasn't the same. Now, we are happy folks with just enough heat at night during the winter months and coolness during the hot summer months! I also referred my friends to Basic Air and they just had their AC done and are very happy D well! Thank you Basic Air ! read more

It's HOT right now and everyone is slammed. I wanted to share a few things about Basic Air so people know who they are doing business with when they reach out. First off, my ac stopped working yesterday. I called the company who installed my unit a few years ago. They told me they could come out a week from Friday. Sorry, but I'll be dead or divorced by then. I took the appt just incase but knew i had to find another solution. I know the owners of basic air through our church and school so I called and started begging. They said they'd be out in an hour. Then, they reached out and said they had to push it back. The school and church had no air and had hundreds of kids coming to vacation Bible school this week. They pushed back all their customers to prioritize those kids above anyone else or any amount of money. This morning they called, coordinated a time, and we're here before noon. Abraham is such a good person. We chatted and the way he handles his business is old school. They do things the right way. I'm a huge proponent of quality and service and he went the extra mile. He fixed some things the other company did as shortcuts that were kinda sloppy. He took his time and was training a new team member. When you see someone train someone you know all you need to know about their business. I was truly impressed regardless of the fact that I know the company from our social circle. The ac is chilly. He told me how to maintain the unit better. I will 1,000% be calling them for regular maintenance and service so I'm never caught calling in a favor during a heat wave ever again. And I'll be referring them to everyone I know. Seriously. If you want it done right. From a family business. No short cuts. Old school. If you value quality and people who put the community above profit - these are the guys to call and the company you are looking for. read more

Basic Air - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Our new downstairs unit wasn't blowing cold. Basic Air (who recently installed) came out right on time and determined that there was a defective soldered joint within the coil in the attic unit. Under warranty, they were able to redo the joint and recharge the refrigerant (instead of ordering a new coil from the factory). We are very pleased to have our AC working and not have to wait up to four weeks to schedule a replacement in July/August. Thanks Abraham and crew!! ps- these units are fantastic too. Quiet and VERY cold. I am happy to have such efficient units at a reasonable price. Will be continuing to recommend Basic Air! read more

Thank you Basic Air for all of your hard work with our air conditioner. It all of the sudden broke and Basic Air was so kind and professional and immediately got us right in. Everyone that I delt with was so extremely kind and wanted to help us get our air running as quick as possible. read more

Vic, Miguel and the Basic Air team have worked for two days to install a new HVAC system in my Costa Mesa home addition and they also relocated the old compressor. Simply put, they work hard and do a great job. I recommend Basic Air to all my neighbors. read more

This is the ONLY Heating and Air Company I would use! From Abraham to Vik and all workers in between, they are True Professionals who care for what they do and who they work for!

Vik was great! His team did a great job! The customer service was excellent. They were very responsive, on time, and clean. Highly recommend! read more

We recently had the Basic Air team service our very old air conditioner and their service was so much more than we expected. They were so friendly and kind, they helped answer all our questions regarding our unit, replaced our filters and gave us tips on how to keep our unit running smoothly. Once we are ready to upgrade our system we will definitely be calling them for this. Whether you need a serving or a whole new unit, you will be in good hands with the folks at Basic Air. I highly recommend them! read more

This is my second time using basic air for general service prior to the upcoming summer months ahead. Their tech Angel went above and beyond his call of duty. He literally took my entire A/C unit apart and cleaned every component there was. Their prices are reasonable and the service is outstanding. He never suggested I buy something I didn't need , They are a great group of people, honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for Heating or A/C work. read more

Replaced entire ac/heating system. Worked with Vik throughout the process. He was very responsive and the price was great. A crew of 10-12 came out and completed the job in one day-asbestos removal was done prior to the install. We're very happy with our new HVAC system and would definitely recommend Basic Air. read more

Vic and his Team were awesome !!! We scheduled the abatement crew who came and did a great job removing all the 50 year old ductwork. (Other companies only quoted partial removal in their bids!) The installation of the ENTIRE system including removing the 50 year old dinosaur heater from our garage and relocating the A/C heater unit in our attic done in 2 days !!! Absolutely amazing work. These guys didn't miss a beat working tirelessly for two days !!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND BASIC AIR !!! read more

Vik was great to work with because he was exceedingly patient with us during our decision making process. The crew was phenomenal and installation was incredibly fast as soon as materials were ready. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase and that everything worked perfectly. Thank you Basic Air! You get what you pay for and this company is worth every penny. read more

OUTSTANDING COMPANY!!!"OUTSTANDING WORK!!! OUTSTANDING PEOPLE!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A SPECIAL RATING FOR PEOPLE/WORKERS WHO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND AND DELIVER, I WOULD GIVE 10 STARS TO BASIC AIR, INC. I can't say enough about Abraham, Vik, Hosanna, and everyone at Basic Air. We replaced our dinosaur heater and added A/C unit to our house. They were knowledgeable, easy to work with and patient. We had electrical problems with our old house and Abraham actually called his electrician to fix the issue and did not even charge for the extra work & time, even tho it was not their fault. Any other company would have charged us for the extra time and work, not Honest Abe :-) FANTASTIC ALL AROUND!!!! read more

OH MY GOSH... this father-son-owned company is wonderful! We echo Joe S. as we too had the abatement crew remove all asbestos in the attic (not even mentioned by the other companies from which we received quotes). The crew that worked for two days replacing all ductwork and removing huge gas heater from the garage were a delight: friendly, clean, polite and had a good time together. It made for quite a pleasant two days. We had to have our electrical panel updated...Vic had just the right person...drywall/touch up work was also a referral from Vic: Albert Martinez whose work is admirable. Clients are considered family...it doesn't get better than that! read more

I made an appointment with Basic air for a standard service call for my moms condo. Abraham Called and confirmed the day of. He showed up on time and was very friendly. He not only went through and ran the system , he also went step by step with me showing me what he was looking for but also what I should look for. After a thorough check of my moms system He determined the system was working fine. He made a few suggestions to make it run more efficient. When all was said and done he said there was no charge and was glad he could help. I cannot praise him enough. I have my own business and work with other contractors. Though I did not have a HVAC guy , I can say I do now. I only wish there were an available 10 stars to give. Dave Newport Beach read more

We had a new heating and air system installed in our house last week, everything about the process was seamless and professional! The crew showed up on time, wore masks and took extra steps to keep my house clean during the installation. They completed the job in two days and did a phenomenal job. They even went above and beyond adding lights in my attic and building a platform for the units and my storage boxes. Highly recommend! read more

Basic Air - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Abraham was referred to us by our neighbor who used him like ten years ago and to this day still remembered all of the team members names and went on and ON and ON about their ethics and quality of work. What she was describing was hard to believe.... until we met Abraham and his son Vic. They are top notch professionals. They show up on time, they provide professional photos of their previous work so we felt so comfortable with what they were describing to us about all of the work needed to be done. Their prices are fair and extremely reasonable for the amount of work involved. They showed up the first day with an army of pros. They masked our house off and were so respectful and quite as we are working from home. What is amazing to me is how each person did their part. We were blown away they showed up right at 8:00am- and by 9:00am they had SO much work done!!! They worked tirelessly until the entire job was done in one day. They went above and so far beyond our expectations I wish I would have known about them years ago. We put off getting an AC installed and replacing our furnace because it was "a lot of work" and we just didn't know anyone who made us feel comfortable enough to drop thousands of dollars and put it in right. Now we are SO excited to tell all of our neighbors about Basic Air. When they finished the entire job in one day... which I was never expecting I would have been fine with a few days... but because of the entire experience and how easy it was and how great of a job they did... I cried. Years of being SO HOT in this house with no AC and BAMMMMM- they had it all finished. Wow. They installed a gorgeous SMART Nest thermostat in our home and Ryan spent as long as needed helping my husband and I figure it out and set it up to our phones. This crew of over 8 guys also left our home SO clean! You would think that many people in and out would be a huge mess- that's what we thought and working from home I was so nervous of all the disruption... NOPE. They put down tarps with rubber backs so they don't move and it kept all of the dirt and mess out of our home. They vacuumed all throughout the job and when they left we were 100% at peace and shocked! Please call Abraham and the same feeling you can share with your family. We will always consider these guys friends and family. We would do anything for them. They have NO competition- trust me we called so many places over the years - do not waste your time. Call Abraham and get the AC installed, fixed, finished whatever is needed he can do it and make it easy. Don't waste any more time! Get the work done right! Be comfortable this summer in your house with a brand new AC or have him fix the one you have! Call them! read more

I cannot overstate how great it was to work with Basic Air! Our brand-spanking new HVAC system (furnace, a/c compressor, and ducts) is up and running, and we couldn't be happier with the customer service and treatment we received. Abraham gave us an honest assessment of what we needed, an incredibly fair/generous quote on the project, and the feeling that we could call him with anything. Hosanna ran point from the office and was always accessible and communicative! Abraham and his team were surgical. They quoted me 2 days and it took 1.5. They were all great workers and took extraordinary care of our house the whole time. Even now that the project is done, I feel super at ease knowing that Abraham and his team are available whenever I need them if I have any issues whatsoever. Our house stays super warm in the cold winter mornings and comfortably cool during these heat waves. I can't recommend them enough for anyone considering a new furnace or air conditioner. read more

Life changing!! We were literally sleeping with 3 fans in our room when I finally convinced my husband that we needed a/c. I called about 6 companies for an estimate, but when I met Vik from Basic Air, I just had good vibes and didn't feel like I was being sold something. The quote was very detailed and I knew everything I was getting. There was no "upselling", everything we needed was in one quote. We needed to replace our dinosaur furnace and move it into the attic, replace all the duct work, upgrade our electric panel, and find a place to put the unit. When Vik and his crew of 10 showed up (on a 90 degree day) they were all smiles and worked liked a well oiled machine. It was a very impressive scene. By the next day, we were able to hit "cool" in our house and had immediate relief. Vik stopped by to explain the best uses of the system and we learned how to cool the house before we come home on our phone, or how to fan the house when we had a house full of guests. When we received out electric bill, I was prepared for a scare, but because Basic Air put in a large system that didn't have to work at full capacity, it was only about 25% higher (not triple as I expected). I thank Vik, Abraham, and the entire family at Basic Air for changing my quality of life and working in an honest and efficient way. read more

Vic and his entire crew was very professional and easy to work with from start to finish. The crew was very clean working on site and completely cleaned after every day. They even finished a day early. I highly recommend this company. I will never use anyone else. Thank you for the GREAT AC!!! read more

UPDATE- On 4/3/22, SC Edison's transformer had blown, causing our AC equipment to burn out. I called Vik on 4/4 and in 2 hours, Ryan from Basic Air showed up to troubleshoot the problem. The transformer, thermostat, motherboard and internal fan were burnt out. Ryan buttoned everything up and said he would come back once the parts could be ordered, which he warned us could take a few days dur to availability. The next day on 4/5, to our surprise, Tonya from Basic Air called and said Ryan was on his way with the parts. Ryan repaired or replaced all of the parts required and tested our system. Everything was back in good working order! We could not have been more pleased with Vik, Ryan, Abe and Tonya's assistance and professionalism in getting our system operational in such record time. Basic Air is outstanding, I don't believe we would have received such great service anywhere else. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, BASIC AIR! read more

A++. Had A/C installed in our house recently. Met with Vik and he explained everything that was going to be done and some recommendations he had. Very knowledgable and professional. I have done most of the reno work on my house myself so I am pretty picky about contractors but man these guys killed it! I could tell right away they were legit. The crew was awesome. I have a pregnant wife at home as well as two young dogs. They were very accommodating and polite. After the install was done we did a walk through and there wasn't one wire/hose out of place. They had moved the heater from the main floor to the attic and it was totally dialed. Again, very professional, You could tell they had pride in their work and it shows. 12/10. If you need A/C / HVAC these are the guys to do it! Thanks basic air! read more

Vik and the crew at Basic Air were the absolute best. True professionals. I would recommend them to anyone especially my friends and family. They did a superb job installing a new HVAC system for my home. They took care of every detail. New vents, ducting, abatement, new thermostat. Great customer service!! read more

Abraham and his team are outstanding. Their work was thorough and were willing to answer all questions. I highly recommend Basic Air for furnace work. read more
