I finally looked elsewhere through a friend referral and found Austin and By the Book. Austin came to the same conclusion that it appeared to just need a tune-up but when that did not resolve the issue, he stuck with it and changed out the igniter. That resolved the issue and I am delighted he was able to fix it. Austin will be my first call whenever I have an HVAC issue in the future.

He works around your schedule and helps find the right products for your needs. Our AC broke during the Paso heat wave which was not optimal as any north county resident knows.

He found us a great deal and had our house back in operation within the week. If you want quality from a genuine nice guy who is honest, call by the book.

I also wanted to get it upgraded from a 100 amp to a 200 amp panel in case I wanted to add some 200v appliances down the road. I asked for a quote for both and the price difference was negligible and I went I went with the 200 amp panel. I have a stucco house which means they needed to cut out the panel and some surrounding stucco to get the old one out. Instead of hiring a stucco company to respray they trimmed the new panel out with nice trim wood and it looks great. They scheduled an appointment with me and showed up right at the beginning of my two hour time window, they got right to work and my power was off not even a full workday. They worked quick and really clean. They needed to move some items in my garage to get to the back wall and were very careful with my stuff, and placed everything back when they were finished. You'd never have known they were there. Both employees were clean and professional, very polite and easy to talk with. They came back a few days later when I was able to schedule a return visit to ask a few questions and button up a few last minute details. Each time they arrived on time and got right to work. The receptionist is very friendly and she was very helpful anytime we talked. The whole team at Alpha cleary cares and wants to do great work and I'm happy to say I feel they did for me and I would recommend them to anyone.

I called on Aaron for the third time since 2022, this time to resolve an issue with a 220v outlet…read morein the laundry room that had no power. With the help of a handyman friend, Aaron initially tried to guide me through some basic troubleshooting steps over the phone, from checking the main breaker box to inspecting the outlet. Unfortunately, we couldn't resolve the issue that way. On Sunday, I reached out to Aaron via Yelp, and he responded promptly on Monday morning to confirm if we still needed his assistance. He scheduled a one-hour time slot for later that day. Although I wasn't home when Aaron texted around 3:15 PM to let me know he was on his way, I passed along the message, and he arrived as planned. He was able to diagnose and fix the issue in under 90 minutes. Once again, he mentioned that we should consider upgrading our breaker box, noting that the solar company who installed our system hadn't done the best job with their connections. Payment was seamless and convenient. Aaron sent an online invoice, and I used Zelle to settle the amount. The next day, I had a follow-up question about the breaker box and the solar company's work. Aaron responded quickly and offered to provide additional information if needed. I truly value Aaron's services--his expertise, efficiency, and professionalism make him a great choice for any electrical work. I'll continue to rely on him for all my future electrical needs. Highly recommend! Thanks, Aaron!

I called up Aaron on short notice and needed to upgrade an electrical outlet from 15A to 20A safely for some equipment I own. Spoiler Alert: He did a fantastic job, did it quick and came over on short notice. Timing happened to be good that day and he's a go getter. I love that work ethic. What I love even more was his work product, clean, safe, professional, able to answer any questions I had politely with a genuine knowledge and passion. Mr. Henson got the job done correctly, and I now have a reliable, well price electrician in my contacts that I can trust for electrical work on the central coast. Highly recommended.
