I just purchased a home recently and the fan in my condenser unit stopped moving. I contacted Jason hoping to schedule a service appointment, and he asked me to first find out the age and the original installer of the unit from the previous owner first because it might still be under warranty. Turned out he was right! I was able to locate the company that installed my unit and they came out to fix the issue for me. Even though I did not use Jason's service, I am extremely thankful that he was so honest because I just saved hundreds of dollars. It speaks volumes about his integrity. Thank you again, Jason. read more

** YOU HAVE TO SHAME THEM INTO PULLING A PERMIT THEY SHOULD HAVE PULLED BECAUSE IT'S THE LAW!** I 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.******* read more

Central Coast Heating & Air - UNPERMITTED FURNACE! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

They could have repaired the furnace rather than saying parts were not available and suggesting a $6,000 replacement . 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. read more

Jason & his wife Shaunette are real Pros in the Heating & Air Conditioning business with their professionalism, knowledge & customer service. We got an estimate from another well known local business that was double the price for basically the same unit! His team showed up exactly on time & four of them had the whole system done & working in only 6+hours. They were very considerate of our property , cleaned everything, vacuumed & even wiped down walls before they left. The new system works beautifully & we can't recommend them enough. read more

I was so impressed with how quickly they came to give a bid on a new air-conditioning system and how quickly they put it in. Reasonable price and very nice workmanship. They were on time professional and cleaned up after themselves. read more

I can't say enough good things about Central Coast Heating & Air! Both Jason and Shawnette are very kind, helpful and caring. I called them on a Monday and by the next day they had a technician (Ivan who also was very kind and worked quickly) dispatched to disconnect our old A/C unit that no longer produced cold air. We plan to replace it once we can afford to replace the furnace as well. They really do care about their customers and make sure they check all options to find a solution that works. I highly recommend giving them a call if you need help! Quality service at a reasonable price. Thank you! read more

Central Coast Heating & Air - Old A/C unit - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

The owners Jason Frost and Shawnette and their entire crew were fantastic to deal with all through the whole project. They were very professional as well as friendly and kind to an old lady like me. They did an enormous amount of paperwork to take advantage of all the special funding and rebates I qualified for through the CHERP program. I'm so happy to have a new highly efficient heat pump heating and cooling system able to keep my little house cozy all year around. This company did such a great job and I am so grateful to finally attain my dream of going green by now having an all electric home. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Jason. I had a concern about my furnace and called him. He responded right away and offered to stop by to take a look. It was working fine and he did not bill me for his assessment. My furnace is almost 25 years old and when I need it replaced, he will be the one that I call. Really impressed with his willingness to help me and I will not forget. Thank you Jason read more

We had just a fantastic experience with Central Coast heating & Air! From the quote by Shawnette & Jason, to the install of our new A/C system, and the promptness of their service. Did exactly as they said they would do, right down to the clean up afterwards. This was the 3rd A/C system we have had installed in the 5 homes we've owned in 46 years, and Central Coast was by far the most seamless and best price install of the other 2 previous HVAC companies, by far ! Price, Service, promptness, workmanship, cleanliness, and the high quaility of equipment, makes Shawnette & Jason at Central Coast, a standout way, way above the competition. They would get a 6 star rating if it was offered. Dan & Leann G. Orcutt, CA read more

Weird company. Really nice tech came out to estimate the job. Straight forward job, replace my gas heater with a new heat pump. Never got their estimate. I texted and called twice. Wife answered the calls slurring words, confused and out of it. Mad I spent my time with them..30min estimate only during day hours, so i have to leave work, and phone calls... read more

Jason Frost and his team were awesome and did the job at amazing cost. He even appeared onsite several times during installation and kept in touch via email and phone/text. read more

We contacted multiple heating and air-conditioning companies to have our HVAC and IQair purifying system inspected to make sure they are both working properly here on the central coast. We are putting the property on the market and needed to make sure the air-conditioning system was working properly since we don't use it very often here in Arroyo Grande. Also, we wanted a brand new nest digital thermostat installed prior to the interior being repainted. All I can say is wow! This company is a husband and wife team who very responsive with excellent customer service and they get the job done. We will definitely be recommending and using them again in the future if the need arises. read more

Central Coast Heating & Air - Brand new nest thermostat! Installed right when we needed it before the painter arrived to repaint the interior. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

I had to have an old wall heater replaced. This company went totally above board to make sure I was happy with their work. Because I was without heat in cold weather, they changed their schedule so they could come out the following day to install the heater. I am just totally impressed with them and their work ethic. They arrived promptly and got the job completed very quick and their pricing was very reasonable too. I would definitely call them again if another problem arose and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done. read more

Jason, Shawnette, Michael, Ivan and the team came through again and went above and beyond expectations. I cannot stress enough how great this company is. They're friendly, professional and courteous. Do yourself a favor and just schedule them! Thanks again! read more

During the most recent heat wave, we discovered that our central AC unit was not blowing cold air and was tripping the electrical breaker. Rooms were approaching 86 degrees, and opening windows at night was not cutting it! On a Saturday morning, we called Jason, and he walked us through some basic troubleshooting steps over the phone. After determining that our compressor was dead, he took some information about what kind of AC unit we had and made some calls. He called back to inform us that it would cost almost as much to replace the compressor as the entire AC unit. Not only that, but no AC units were available anywhere locally during the peak of the summer! Jason thought "outside of the box" and was able to re-purpose a new AC unit fitting our specs ,that was waiting for installation at a different local business (who wouldn't need that unit for several more weeks). He and his colleague arrived an hour later. They removed the old AC unit, installed the new AC unit, and we were up and running about 2 hours later with our house cooling off quickly and quietly. He also gave us a small discount which we appreciated greatly, given the unplanned nature of the cost. We will call them again if/when we need service or assistance with our heating or air conditioning. Great service! read more

I can't say enough good things about Central Coast Heating & Air. This company is owned by a husband and wife duo and they are caring and compassionate people. They were genuine with every interaction and whenever I spoke with Shawnette I truly felt heard. Her husband, Jason, was very knowledgeable and straight to the point in a good way. They were able to get a crew out right away and replaced our 35 year old furnace that hasn't been used in over 2 years due to the bad ducts and age of the furnace. Their crew was very friendly and professional, cleaning up after themselves. They were very reasonable with their prices and put up with me asking a whole bunch of questions! Save yourself the yelp research and just contact Shawnette & Jason for your HVAC needs! read more

We love our new heat pump and A/C! They did a great job installing it. They were great to work with. We interviewed several HVAC companies and they all said very negative things about the ducting in our house and this company made everything work without changing the ducting. The A/C and the heating work great. We love controlling it all from our phone. read more

Jason the owner and Tracy his assistant solved our problem immediately. Both were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company. I am telling all my friends. read more

Jason and his team installed our air conditioning unit today. They did a fantastic job and they are extremely professional, polite, worked in a timely matter... but not rushed. I highly recommend them for any heating or air conditioning needs. They also cleaned up extremely well when they were done. I got multiple quotes and I have to say Jason was reasonably priced (if not below) than some of the other companies that didn't seem to be as good. I would give them a 10 out of 10! Zero complaints. read more

Very helpful and helped solve my problem over the phone without even having a technician come out. Excellent service and would definitely work with them again. read more

Jason and his team are AWESOME....and I can't thank them enough for the unbelievable job they did installing heat, air, and new ducting under my home. They worked diligently, and were so professional and courteous. I honestly don't think there is another HVAC company that could have accomplished what they did for me. Without reservation, I give them my highest recommendation and my deepest gratitude!! read more

We called 3 companies for bids on adding A/C to our central heating system. Shawnette was pleasant on the phone and scheduled for an estimate. From the moment Jason walked into the house, we knew this was the company we were going to work with. Just simple, old fashioned, honesty was what won us over. There were no sales gimmicks or pitches. There was no, "let me call my manager for a discount" kind of stuff. Just here what you have, here's what you need, here's what it costs. They were quick to answer any questions we had prior to install. On the day of installation, they showed up when they said they would be here. One crew, one company took care of every aspect of the job They did it right the first time exactly as promised. Did I mention that they were also by far the lowest bid as well!?!? I would gladly recommend Central Coast Heating & Air for all of your HVAC needs! read more

Trustworthy and so very helpful. He went out of his way to help diagnose our unit. We will be using them when we're ready to replace our unit. read more

Called about vent cleaning and air conditioning service. After explaining my concerns to Jason, he told me no service was needed at this time! Told how to know when service was required. Awesome! read more

Very responsive. Great follow through. Live their motto of quality service. Knowledgable and professional.

You found the best...Do not look any further for your heating needs! Shawnette, Jason, Tracy and their crew were professional, prompt, kind and courteous. Locally owned and operated, we were impressed with their knowledge and customer service. Everything was top notch! Our mom's furnace was 38 years old and they replaced it in a jiffy for a fair price! I highly recommend! read more

We wanted to replace our HVAC with a Heat Pump. Also, we were interested in receiving state and county rebates. The owners were very helpful throughout the entire process. As a result, we got ~ 50% discount. We are very pleased with the owners, the new unit and the installation. read more

A furnace is a large purchase so I got three quotes, and decided to go with Central Coast Heating & Air for a few reasons. When I called Shawnette was very responsive, personable and knowledgeable. Her husband Jason was out shortly and recommended the best furnace for my situation, not trying to up sell me for something I didn't really need. He too was very professional and answered any and all questions. For Install, he and two other great guys showed up (Anthony and and ?) in a couple hours the old furnace was out of the attic and the new one was installed. Everything was cleaned up and the furnace for the first time was sized properly for the house. What more can you ask for, outstanding service, professional and outgoing staff, a fair price, responsiveness to questions and calls and just good people. I am happy with my furnace and service and am glad I purchased from them, you will be as well. read more

We called Central Coast Heating & Air because our wall heater wasn't turning on and he came out same day, within just a few hours after calling, and checked out the heater. Unfortunately, parts aren't available and the heater needs to be replaced if it keeps acting up, but he did get the heat on today and we'll see how much longer we can get out of it until it has to be replaced. I was prepared to pay the service charge, but he insisted there was no charge because there was nothing he could do and he just stopped by between other jobs.. but he came out same day, told us what was going on, and what the solution was, which is all we could have asked for. We would still be freezing and scratching our heads without him. We would definitely recommend and will call again when it's time to get a replacement. read more

I called received a called back within the hour. I thought great so far! I explained I needed an exhaust fan installed in my bathroom. Jason said It would be cheaper if you called a handyman. I mentioned I was sick of having a handyman come over, making mistakes & not completing the work. I wanted someone who had a contractor license. He sent someone over they took all the information and would send me an email with the estimate. Jason had mention it might be $1800.00. I just wanted it done the right way. Well it's been two weeks no email! no estimate....still waiting! read more

Super responsive and eager to provide quality service. They have been very professional, from Shawnette to Jason to the guys doing the work. Clean and quick installation done immediately while we were spending a brief amount of time at our vacation home. Great communication and quality furnace and thermostat. I tried contacting a couple other outfits with zero response. We didn't get bids from anyone else but it did seem pricey, then again everything is pricey now, right? I didn't really care because no matter what, their service is totally worth it. read more

Shawnette and Jason were so responsive and helpful, I was utterly amazed! After dealing with a home warranty program of installing a heater a year ago, they guided me in replacing the previously installed heater that was not functioning and after several failed repair attempts from another company. Their team came out replaced the heater and answered all my questions that day too. The installers heard my concerns and responded to all my questions respectfully. Communication was easy between the office and installers. I was able to get on the schedule before Christmas and within the week of my contacting Central Coast Heating and Air. It was so nice to have a true functioning heater! Thank you Shawnette, Jason, and Central Coast Heating and Air! read more

We recently had three estimates to install a central heating air unit installed. Two of which were about equal in estimate and one that was way over the top. We have lived in our home in Los Osos for over 40 years WITHOUT central heating. We finally decided we deserved a warmer home for the winter months. We chose Central Coast Heating and air based on the dealings we had with Mike who came and gave us an estimate that we thought was reasonable and in addition from a recommendation by a friend who had used Central Coast air and heating and was so happy she had chosen them for the work she had done. My wife suffers from an immune compromised illness that requires clean air and living areas. The workers left our home cleaner than before they came. We highly recommend them. read more

If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy and customer focused, family-owned business, look no further!  I can't recommend Central Coast Heating & Air enough.  Last week, my 35-year-old furnace went out.  I went straight to Yelp and Central Coast Heating & Air immediately stood out due to all the positive reviews.   I called the office and spoke with Shawnette (who is amazing!), and within 2 hours Jason arrived to evaluate my furnace.  We quickly decided replacing the old furnace was the most cost effective.    The next day the two-man crew arrived as scheduled.  Both team members were extremely professional, friendly and took time to answer my questions.  Jason arrived to check on the work and within 3 hours my new furnace was installed.  Crew worked efficiently, they left the job site clean and took the time to explain the new system.   The level of customer service we received is hard to find these days.  This is a local business you should support.  Great owners, truly great people, and a truly great experience.  Thank you Shawnette, Jason and crew, you really are amazing people! read more

We used Central Coast to add central AC to our existing central HVAC system. Everyone, from Jason, who estimated our project, to Shawnee, who scheduled the job, to the installation crew were top notch. The crew, in particular was friendly, professional, neat, and worked in the attic on a very hot day without complaint. Everyone was pleasant, communicated quietly, and with a minimum of disruption to our daily living. The results were great and we are thoroughly enjoying a cooler house. I would recommend them for any job without reservation. read more

We thought that our furnace had failed and called Central Coast Heating and Air. Jason came to house and diagnosed it as a minor thermostat problem and fixed it on the spot and no charge. Then since he was already at the house we requested a quote on replacing a 30+ year old furnace. He gave us a very reasonable quote. I would recommend this company. read more

I highly recommend Central Coast Heating and Air. Jason gave us a second opinion on a quote from another HVAC company. He was extremely professional, courteous and HONEST. He quickly solved the minor issue with our heating at no cost. He saved us from very costly, extensive (and unnecessary) work. We will definitely be calling on Central Coast Heating and Air for all future HVAC needs. read more

The excellent rating at Yelp is why I called Central Coast Heating. But It was my conversation with Shawnette that made me decide to make an appointment. She was friendly and funny and honest. Within a half hour of making the phone call Jason arrived to check out my furnace that I thought was due for servicing. He tested it, told me it was working fine and nothing was needed. He then told me to keep my check. Will I call them when things go wrong? You bet I will. Would I recommend them to friends? Absolutely. Honesty, friendliness, and kindness sets Central Coast Heating apart. Thank you Jason and Shawnette! read more

So glad we called Central Coast Heating & Air! Jason and his team installed a new A/C system for us and we couldn't be happier. We called two other places that quoted us much higher and couldn't get to the job as fast. Central Coast Heating & Air was able to schedule us quickly and the quote they provided was very reasonable. Highly recommended their service! read more

I seldom write reviews but after my experience with Central Coast Heating and Air, I have to give them an EXCELLENT rating. Jason was on time and went right to work. He was extremely knowledgeable and efficient and completed my project without delay. Jason' wife and boss was delightful to deal with. I will use Central Coast for all my heating repairs in the future. Steve Scully, Arroyo Grande read more
