Alan G.

Had over 9 bids for HVAC. The owner, Chad, came and did the quote himself (of the other 8 only one other owner came). I prefer to do business with small business because the bigger companies always pass on overhead to the consumer. His install team were professional. The install took longer than expected due to attic space issues but he didn't come back and try to up the price. Communication was great. When he found an issue he promptly notified me and gave me different options on how to proceed. Recommending this company to our neighbors who are searching for an HVAC company.

Carter replaced the furnace and installed new duct work in our house; the work was done quickly at a reasonable price and we are very happy.

The team did an amazing job. They installed an all new system, new ductwork and worked their butts off. Highly recommend them.

Doorbell rang at 1 on the dot, and Chad who was masked and very respectful, asked a few questions.

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. We had a couple of other companies provide quotes, and West Coast beat them all! They were reliable, professional, and affordable. The installation went smooth and passed all inspections with flying colors! Thank you to the West Coast Team for the Great service!

Uriel Blancas is the HVAC tech who did the spring maintenance re-check today and he did an…read moreexemplary job. 10/10, FIVE STARS IN ALL ASPECTS. 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.

Best Value, Fast Service, and Professional! I recently hired…read moreAirmaxx to install a new HVAC system at a property in Carmel Valley, and they exceeded every expectation. 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!

They have since refunded me my money. Ken was professional and courteous. His prompt communication was appreciated.

Another bidder did not bring any diagnostic equipment, but was very ready to come back to repair or replace the ac and would at that time inspect the furnace. His bid for replacing the ac did not even mention the need for permits. And then, there's Straight Shooter. They were already my service company and at check up time, Rich was concerned about the refrigerant level. He asked to come back on a warmer day to be sure the cold had not given a false reading. Rich also suggested it was time to find out if the aging system needed replacement due to some others signs. I asked him to arrange that, so Scott came the same day Rich returned. At that time, a crack was found in the furnace heat exchanger. Also, it was determined the ac refrigerant loss was so significant, repair would be too costly, especially for the ac's age. Scott kindly spent enough time with me explaining options that I had clarity about them. Just a few days later Eric, Dillon and Forest installed a heat pump that does both jobs! I am well pleased. The Straight Shooter Company IS a straight shooter!

For the past 8 years, we've had an ongoing issue with our AC that we never fully understood or knew…read morehow to fix. We honestly thought it might end up being something major and were very hesitant to start the process of getting it fixed not knowing what it would cost or entail. We've had a few other companies come out over the years but they were unable to figure out what was causing our problem to begin with, and quickly brushed us off. David and his team came out to assess the issue and were able to fix it so quickly, which is a true testament to their expertise. We also greatly appreciated their honesty and integrity. They focused on fixing the actual issue and making sure everything was working properly before they left. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it in the future. The whole experience was smooth, straightforward, and incredibly reassuring. After dealing with this mystery issue for 8 years, it's such a relief to finally have it resolved. If you're looking for an HVAC company that is honest, skilled, and truly looking out for their customers, I can't recommend them highly enough. We will absolutely be calling them again for any future HVAC needs. Thank you David and team for the fantastic service!!!

Above and beyond with professionalism, communication, repair work, anticipation of future maintenance to keep the system healthy. I will be reaching out to them for maintenance/etc from here on and bragging about them to family and friends.
