I own The Edge Mediterranean Grill in spring valley and had my 4 year anniversary event. My air conditioner stopped working, it's 8pm, and the only company who picked up my phone call was Briko. I called and Andrew picked up. He asked me some questions over the phone to see if he could tell me how to fix it over the phone. Unfortunately he couldn't and said he could have someone here in 30 Minutes. 20 minutes later, Edgar showed up and troubleshooted the issue. It turned out to be a fuse. He replaced it and everything started working again. What I was really impressed with this company is that they were very professional from start to finish. Edgar showed up in a professional vehicle and fully in uniform. He explained everything he was going to do. Once he found the problem, he explained that it was a simple fix and the reason the fuse blew was because the system needed to be serviced. Thank you Edgar and Andrew for saving my Event. I will be using you guys again. read more

Briko Mechanical - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - San Diego, California

Our A/C at the office all of sudden died Friday at noon and by 1 pm it was 83 In here. I called and Rami said he could be at my office around 8 am sat to take care of it since the up coming week was going to be super hot. Sat Morning he showed up, found the issue in the electrical panel, did a couple of tricks and boom it was on and running. Highly suggested that I change out the filter showed me where it was and said I could do it myself to save a couple bucks. Who else does that? I highly recommend using them! Thanks again for the awesome service on such a short notice Satmodo team read more

After calling 15 technicians on Labor Day weekend because our air conditioner broke, we were so happy that Briko could squeeze us in. The technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to resolve a wiring issue and explained in layman's terms what the issue was. Would highly recommend! read more

I had Briko replace and upgrade my main panel after calling for a plug that wasn't working we discovered my main panel was melting and not up to code. He was very clear, fair priced, and responsive. Briko did a great job and made some awesome money saving suggestions. Thank you Rami from Briko electrical! read more

I called on a Saturday afternoon because one particular circuit was intermittently not working....and it affected the kitchen and refrigerator. The tech arrived promptly the next morning, was polite and diligent in his work, even moving the refrigerator to have a look at the plug behind it. Eventually, the main culprit was a bad 20 amp single pole circuit breaker that the tech replaced with a new one. When I went to pay the bill, imagine my surprise and dismay to find an item charge of 225 dollars for a part that is a $3.85 item at Home Depot. Prices varied on different breakers, but even their most expensive breaker with a ground fault button on it was only about 40 bucks. I can see where a contractor's markup will be a somewhat higher than what a consumer will be paying for it, but not THAT much. I even remarked about the cost of the part to the tech and asked why it was so expensive. He told me that there was a built in "Company warranty" built into the price. Not sure if that covered just replacing the part or if it also covers the service call charge and labor charge. The 225 dollar breaker did not fix the problem, so I will be needing a lot more work, but now I am not confident that I will be charged fairly for it by this company. I feel like I have been taken advantage of, and should look for another company. And by the way, I called them back to tell them that the problem still existed and they recommended that i replace all the receptacles on that circuit at a cost of 30$ per receptacle. The guy on the phone said he'd see if he could get me a better price because there were so many of them. At 30 bucks a pop, and 43 receptacles, that cost should have been 1290 dollars. Well....when the guy called back, he told me they'd do all of it for 3200 dollars. Holy WTF! I guess he what he meant by "better price" was a better price for the company. read more

Briko Mechanical Called them 5 hours ago to go out to a tenants apartment. They claimed they called the tenant but could not pull up the phone number I gave them, never called me back the landlord, 5 hours later 10pm at night still no services and no answers as to why they dropped the ball. DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY if you actually need service read more

Man, I really wish I didn't have to do this, because my initial impression was so great. Our air conditioning system was turning off and on erratically, and always seemed to get worse when it was really hot. It was the weekend, and our original installer (south coast) was not available. Briko was quick to respond, reasonably priced, and the tech they sent (Rami) was very nice and seemed smart. Their diagnosis was that my thermostat was malfunctioning and I should get a new one, and if that wasn't the source of the problem, then the problem was a malfunctioning control board in the furnace, which is a warranty claim that the original installer should handle. So I ordered a new thermostat... initially it looked like it would work, but after half an hour, it reverted to the same behavior. So I uninstalled the thermostat, returned it, installed the old one myself, and called Briko again. They confirmed it had to be the control board. So I called South Coast back on Monday and they came out to look at it Tuesday. Within 10 seconds, they diagnosed the problem as a backed up drain line because there was a mechanical float switch prominently displayed on the front of the unit that floats when the line is not draining properly. This interrupts the power supply to the system and is one of the more common issues they have to deal with. So he vacuumed out the drain line, put some algae killer pills in there, and problem solved! So look, mistakes happen, and I wasn't going to post this because they were otherwise so good. But this was clearly a bad diagnosis, and they should have returned my money right away. Instead I have spent the last three weeks trying to get them to refund the money and they have not been responsive. I called them and they said send receipts. I emailed them receipts of both bills with diagnoses that make it crystal clear they were wrong. They did not respond, so I called again. They said they got it but it was being reviewed. Emailed twice since then with no response. So I had to dispute with my credit card company and write this PITA review. Sorry guys. Be more responsive to your customers next time. This issue was legit, and it really bums me out to write this. read more

I was in desperate need of an AC repair today and Rami/Briko was so quick to help. He arrived within a couple hours and was able to explain and show me exactly what the problem was, as well as take care of it right away. Super kind, professional, and helpful! I'd definitely recommend Briko to anyone looking for quick reliable and trustworthy service. Thanks, Rami! read more

I called these guys on a Friday to come out and check out an electrical issue that I was having at my house and they said they would send someone out but they didn't give me a window so I called back and said they could come another day that was better for them. They said they would come Sunday morning but they never showed up and they never called. read more

I had these guys come our for a quote in replacing my electrical panel. The price was ok. Then I asked for a quote on replacing some old breakers because they were an immediate issue. The guy told me he'd get back to me in the afternoon and never did. I texted and never heard back. He seemed annoyed I didn't sign up on the spot for the panel replacement. He told me the breakers I needed replaced were extremely hard to find. I found them on amazon, has them shipped and has another electrician install in 3 days. Still haven't heard back from these guys. read more

I had a consultation appointment but no one showed up. I tried to call but the mail box was full. No one contacted me about canceling the appointment either. read more

Could not be happier. Frankly, when our AC stopped working in the middle of this heat wave, I considered abandoning my life here, changing my name to "Sue" and moving to Minnesota to start a new life. They arrived 20 minutes after we called, and our unit was fixed 20 minutes after they came. I am a very, very happy customer. read more

The heater in my home broke so I called around and the earliest any tech can come out was after New Years, until I reached out to Briko. Thank god I found this company. They were able to make it out at 9pm and fix the problem within minutes. Rick was super friendly and got my heater working. Now my family and I are not freezing! Thanks Briko read more

This company saved my life. My AC went down and I have a 9 month old baby crying. I tried to find any company to come out tonight but everyone was closed. I got so lucky that Andrew picked up. He was able to send out someone. Jesus showed up and was able to fix my AC in 30 minutes and get it working again. I recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for making my home cool again! read more

I have called them for smaller jobs, no major rewiring. But they did do some retrofitting to my condo a couple of years ago to allow for higher voltage AC unit. And it wasn't too bad at all. Not dirt cheap, but not unreasonable. This is a company with many different employees so you aren't always going to get the same guy. I keep forgetting that, and so every time I have to give the rundown of where to park and where to go. No big deal. Thank God they do awesome work. read more

I called Briko during the holiday season. They were the only company that would make the extra effort to fit me in during that time. Briko even arrived earlier than expected. I had broken my furnace while trying to install a new thermostat. Briko diagnosed the problem within seconds and was able to find that my transformer needed replacing. They took the extra time to find the more affordable part and ensured it worked. Briko then went a step further and found the wiring problem that wasn't allowing my new thermostat to function properly. After which, they explained how to resolve the problem through the most cost effective means. To top they gave me the most reasonable price I've ever received from a company. Briko truly wants to help their customers and shows it through professionalism and results. Will use again and give my highest possible recommendation. read more

When my AC wasn't cooling off well, I contacted a well-known company starts with A to inspect my unit. I was quoted $7000 for replacement and the company repair person claimed that my AC compressor was broken. My gut feeling told me that something was off. I decided to contact Briko Mechanical for second opinion. Their guy came up with a completely different opinion and determined that my AC compressor was fine and just needed refrigerant. After filling up with refrigerant, my AC is now fully functional. We are such a happy camper with Briko's professional and honest service. I will take my business with Briko again! read more

My brother found these guys after Anderson Plumbing overcharged me and could not fix the problem with my AC. So much for being in Anderson's VIP program to be qouted an outrageous new system that I did not need. I am still trying to recover a refund for a quick fix that never lowered my inside temp one degree. Anderson left my house with a check but my AC was never fixed. They came back the next day and told me I needed a new system. I will never use Anderson again. I called all the companies close to Escondido but they were booked. Of course, this was during a horrible heat wave in late July and we were desperate for the first availability for Escondido. Rami and his dad were amazingly professional. Their prices were fair and so much lower than the overated Anderson Plumbing. Overall, I am enjoying my fixed AC and I would highly recommend using these guys who are courteous and has great follow through. read more

Brikho mechanical came out today to do a regular maintenance on my AC unit. Rami was super professional and did a GREAT job. They are an honest company not looking to take advantage of you like so many others. Rami was also very communicative and willing to help me troubleshoot my issue over the phone. I will definitely be utilizing Briko again for my AC repair and maintenance. Thank you Rami!!!! read more

Super bowl Sunday and the only company that would come out on a hot evening. Called the office and they were quick to send out Edgar. 30 minutes later and my AC was working. Great company and fast response. They were especially fair with the price. I will definitely be using them again! read more

My husband contacted them about our AC unit not working and they were fast to answer. The best service I have received by far. They gave him an initial quote and ended up being more than what he originally said it was but he hindered the initial quote. Very fast and reliable!!! read more

4 quotes later and I finally got a fair company to install an air conditioning system in my house. All the other companies wanted to replace my one year old furnace but Rami said it was energy efficient and compatible with AC. He quoted me and I agreed the same day. They had 5 guys the next day to finish the install. These guys are the real deal. read more

My A/C crashed two days ago and for anyone that lives here knows the type of heat wave we are having! Not the normal humidity that beautiful San Diego experiences. I contacted Briko Mechanical and they were able to come the same day and fix our A/C. Not only were they quick but super friendly and caring. I will definitely recommend this local company to my neighbors read more
