Ok update. This summer 2025, I made another appointment at my Boyfriends home in Paso because our…read more2 heating/AC systems were about 25 years old and needed replacement. I used them because they are in the COSTCO program so you get a huge gift card after install and city permit signs off. We are Costco executive members With the Costco program you get the top of line Lennox equipment and since we have 2 complete systems at the house this is what replaced. 2 new systems. They also upgraded the ductwork to make it run properly. We added a garage attic fan as well. We also upgraded to the WiFi thermostats you can control with the Residio app on your phone and we love them. Once it's finished an outside company comes to test system and report on airflow. The city inspector needs to see this report. When he comes so show him. Don't use the call center number. Use the local phone number I'm providing in attached photo. Paso heating was bought out by Wightens and I do not recommend that company so don't get moved over if they say they are busy. Stick with this one, it's totally worth the wait. We love our new systems and the staff at every step were great !! Highly recommend PRH&A

PR Heat & Air installed A/C for me several years ago. Until last year I had them come out…read moreregularly to service the heat unit and A/C. I was told on the phone that they couldn't service both units at that time of the year. They would have to be done separately. I called last year to try to schedule service and some kind of hokey AI "thing" answered. What a farce of a so-called conversation that was. I hung up and called a local company. This year I decided to try PR Heat & Air one more time.. The phone was never answered. I tried twice. Wow, what a horrible way to treat customers. I am doing business locally with companies my neighbors recommend.

We cannot recommend Justin Plumbing highly enough!…read more After our main water line burst, we were without water for 36 hours. We initially called another plumbing company that came out, charged us for the visit, couldn't locate the leak, and told us we'd need to hire a separate leak detection company before they could even begin repairs. Then we called Justin Plumbing, and the experience was completely different. Their consultation was free, and Justin and his crew found the leak almost immediately. They clearly explained the problem, walked us through all of our repair options, and showed us exactly what needed to be done. The repair was extensive, requiring concrete to be cut and removed before fixing the broken main water line, but they handled everything efficiently and professionally. To top it off, their quote was nearly half the price of the first company, and they completed the work much faster than we expected. Throughout the entire process, Justin and his team were honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. It's rare to find a company that combines fair pricing, excellent communication, and quality workmanship so well. If you're looking for a trustworthy plumber, Justin Plumbing is the company to call. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and would recommend them without hesitation!

Justin Jackson's plumbing company helped us out tremendously. We had called two other plumbers who…read moredidn't show and he was our last hope. We called him at the end of the business day and they showed up within thirty minutes. They were reliable and handled our plumbing issue with ease. Good people and trustworthy. Thank you so much for helping us out and for being someone we could count on!

Another company came out the next day and repaired the furnace for $130. I did appreciate CCH picking up the phone before business hours and coming out the same day though.

** 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.*******
