Kao came out to repair my 18 year-old AC. What he accomplished today will extend the life of my unit, hopefully, by a lot. I am so grateful that I don't have to shell out money for a replacement, at this time. One less thing to worry about. Kao explained what was needed to be done in laypersons terms. He took the time to explain things, no fast talking, which I really appreciate. Thank you! read more

My AC was running but not cooling the house, so I called Climate Solutions. Kao was able to squeeze me in the same day, which I really appreciated. When he arrived, he put on shoe booties before entering... a small but thoughtful gesture that many contractors skip entirely. Kao quickly diagnosed the issue (a faulty capacitor) and replaced it on the spot. He was efficient, professional, and got the job done without any hassle. I'll definitely be using Climate Solutions again and highly recommend them...especially if you get Kao! read more

Kai was awesome. Returned my call within ten minutes. Got to my house within two hours. Diagnosed the problem and fixed in an hour. Warned us about a leak but said we could delay getting it replaced for a couple of years. Supplied coolant to keep with air conditioning working for a couple more years at no charge. Five stars from a boomer. read more

Hot day, came home to find the fan on our A/C unit stopped working. So we reached out to climate solutions for at minimum a diagnosis. Fortunately for us, Cal was literally finishing up a service call down the street in our neighborhood. He provided insight on what may be the issue and quickly assessed and determined we had a faulty dual capacitor. He had one in his game and within 30 minutes of calling him and fixing the unit, our house was cooling down. Thanks Cal for you professionalism. We definitely recommend and if possible, ask for Cal. read more

Climate Solutions delivered in this hot weather. The AC unit went out and we contacted Climate Solutions. Kao responded and was able to help us fix our AC the same day. Excellent service, highly recommend! read more

AC went out on 100° day. Climate Solutions came after 8pm and made necessary repairs plus additional services and AC is perfect today, just in time for our grandsons first birthday party. read more

Unlike other companies we got a quote offered work to be done just to make money. But Kao was different, he was honest, came in and checked our attic, and gave his suggestions base on his expertise in this field and did not ask for a fee, again unlike other companies have to pay $75-$125 for a quote. Thank you Kao, you earned my business and will definitely choose you for any ac/heating work on our home and our other rental properties. read more

We recently had a terrible experience with our home warranty company and the HVAC contractor they dispatched. The work that that contractor stated our system needed after doing a routine annual tune-up was that the evaporative cooler needed to be replaced; and was going to cost us over $4,500 out-of-pocket (and the home warranty was going to cover a mere $400). This work turned out to be completely unnecessary. After reading up on the reviews of that company the home warranty company dispatched, it sounded to us like it's their business motto to rip off homeowners through their home warranty companies. My instincts told me that we needed to get a second opinion after getting their "diagnosis" and quote, as well as after reading their reviews. However, our home warranty company declined our request for a second opinion. We contacted Climate Solutions for a second opinion anyway on our own. To be clear, I wanted to make sure we got a thorough inspection and an independent opinion, and not influence their opinion by sharing the diagnosis of the other contractor. So, I never told them that we were told we needed to replace the evaporative cooler. Kao came out as scheduled, and after his inspection, told us our system was just a bit low on refrigerant, but it's still functioning just fine (and it is, as we've never had any issues, and the "issue" we were told we had resulted from just a routine seasonal tune-up). We ended up saving ourselves from getting ripped off over $4,500. We also decided to be done with our home warranty company, as it is clear to us they do not properly vet their contractors, nor do they value their customers' feedback, opinion, and their best interest. We highly recommend Kao and Climate Solutions. They are reliable, trustworthy, and reasonable in their work and pricing. We will continue to use Kao's service for all our HVAC needs going forward. read more

Kao came by to service my heater, he was great at explaining why the hot air was not working and he even provided tips for me. A very nice and friendly technician. The price is reasonable and competitive as well. The best part was he got my heater working quickly and now my family can stay warm in this cold weather. I highly recommend him. read more

7/1/2022 I honestly don't know how to thank Kao for helping us (especially my son) for taking care of our ac unit... From the get go: responsive communication.. Thoroughly explains the process.. Attentive and punctual, and completely honest.. Hard working, and started the job yesterday, and finished today. Son is happy! Did the Wi-Fi upgrade so now he can control from his phone... Disregard those poor unhappy one star review-.. which I'm surprised that Yelp has not removed-( no first hand experience category)... Thank you Climate Solutions! read more

I hired Climate Solutions when my home's furnace stopped working in the middle of winter. As in previous years earlier, I suspected the furnace ignitor needed to be replaced. Kao S., the owner of Climate Solutions, replaced our furnace ignitor and got our home heat back to normal in no time. He provided excellent, quality work at a great price. Furthermore, Kao showed integrity and honesty by not upselling any unnecessary products or service! (A day earlier, a competing company, Atticman, gave me a price quote on a piece of binder paper of $8,100 to replace blower, inducer, 2-stage motor, etc.! The Atticman technician, Randall, also left my SmartVent filter on the floor as he hurriedly left my home when I said I wanted to think about it over the weekend before making a huge purchase.) I highly recommend Climate Solutions to all of my family and friends needing HVAC work. If you seek quality work and excellent service at a great price from an honest HVAC company, Kao's Climate Solutions is the best way to go!! read more

Kao came out, gave me a honest quote (excellent compared to some others), and got my issue resolved. My AC was leaking out the secondary drain hole meaning the primary was compromised. I could of fixed just that but my AC was 20 years old so I had him replace that as well. Everything came out nice and better than what actually came with the house. I will def be using him again for any other issues. read more

Our AC wasn't blowing cold air and we were struggling to figure out why. Kao stopped by on short notice and saw it was nothing but a tripped breaker. Few days later he stopped by again to make sure there was no problem and noticed some of our vents were not open all of the way. He took care of it. Kao treats every customer almost like family. Great service and extremely responsive! read more

Kao was quick to respond and schedule an appointment for my split AC unit. He explained everything to me and gave me maintenance tips, and the cost was very reasonable. I definitely recommend him. read more

The air conditioner at my parent's new place stopped working a few days after we moved them in. Kao got to us quickly, fixed the problem and did a thorough tune up on the AC. He also took the time to explain everything to me and what it would take to eventually replace the whole system (it's really old) without the hard up-sell! All this for a very reasonable price. There is no other company we will contact with future needs for both ourselves and my parents. Integrity is hard to find in business so we are very grateful to find it with Climate Solutions and Kao. We HIGHLY recommend. read more

Stop looking right now! Call Kao! He was super responsive, even offered to walk us through a fix over the phone. Ended up "stopping by" the day of the phone call and completely saved the day for us. Couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Did I mention the price was reasonable? Thank you Kao!! FYI, he does routine maintenance and not duct cleaning. read more

07-02-2024 Kao came by today to check our A/C it was not cold enough. He was absolutely so honest ! Turns out there is nothing wrong with our A/C it is just too small for our big house. When they built the house they did not put a thermostat for upstairs. Thank you so much we will definitely recommend him to our family and friends. read more

Just had Kao replace the coil and coolant in my parent's South Sac home. What was important, at least to me, was Kao communication. His texts and emails were timely, answered my questions within an hour the majority of the time. He was on time and was focused on the task at hand when he was on site. His price was VERY reasonable, much less than the two other estimate I received. I would hire Kao and Climate Solutions again in a heartbeat. read more

Kao is great! We have used him for many different jobs and he has always been quick to respond, reliable and honest. We will continue to use him in the future! read more

Kao was awesome to work with! He was quick on communication - whether through Yelp, text or call. He came as soon as he could during this hot summer season. Showed up on time, gave an honest assessment, had fair pricing and finish the job in the one day. AC now works and the home is cool again! Would definitely recommend to anybody who needs work done. read more

Kao installed an HVAC system in my son's house and I am very pleased with the result. Kao is professional in how he conducts business. From the moment he gives you a quote, Kao answers all questions with his knowledge and experiences. Once he is on site, he takes great care to install the equipment, getting rid of the old equipment, and cleaning up after himself. Thank you Climate Solutions! read more

I contacted 3 different companies through yelp to replace my son's HVAC. Climate Solutions was the only one who quickly set up to come the next day to give a quote. Kao, the owner gave a fair price compared to the others. He's also very reliable n prompt, always showed up on time. I'm very glad i chose him. We're very pleased with his quality of work, tidiness and responsiveness.He even went above and beyond and replaced the motor in the HVAC in the ADU and also ordered for us some vent filters all these for free. That's how nice he is. I very highly recommend Climate Solutions. I can assure you won't be disappointed. Thank you so very much Kao. read more

I requested an estimate for HVAC system replacement. Great customer service from the technician. They listened to what I was looking and tried to stay within my budget. Unfortunately while very competitive I went with a lower estimate. I would recommend Climate Solutions for your HVAC service. read more

Fast response time easily scheduled. Repairman was quick to identify the issue was able to make the repair and provided insight into the system. A pleasant experience reasonably priced. read more

To whom may concern, I had my commercial AC unit evaluated with the previous technician due to a blowout fuse, a week later another blowout fuse; technician recommendation is that I needed a new fan motor. Okay I have no problem paying $750 for a replacement with 6 months warranty parts and labor. As my gut feeling tells me I needed a second opinion on this matter that I'm no expert in. I decided to send out a quote through Yelp with my recommendation ( replacement fan motor, " Total Cost " ) every company wanted their inspection cost $60-$90 before hands on. Kao from Climate Solutions was straight forward, "yes I can do it tomorrow for a flat rate of $725." with... ( warranty 5 years parts & 5 years labor ) which every company wanted 3 months or 6 months on the labor & parts warranty. After trouble shooting my unit he stated that my unit had a weak capacitor and some of the connectors screws were loose due the years of heat climate. Capacitor replacement and tighten up the connectors screws of the fraction of the cost I would've spend on a replacement fan motor, very pleased. After the work was done I felt my gut did the right thing! Always go with your gut feeling! Should you have any questions, you may contact Kao Saphanh @ ( 916 ) 760-8027 Thank you Kao S! Sincerely, - Mr. Thao read more

Kao installed a mini-split on a room in our house that gets pounded with sunlight from spring to fall and barely gets any air conditioning because of the way the ducts in the home are installed. He did a great job, was priced very fairly, returned the work areas to pre-work conditions, and even took a look at my current HVAC system for the rest of the house as an early tune-up for summer. I got three quotes for the work. Kao originally came in a little above my lowest quote but he met their price. I chose him not just because of the price, but because, of all the people who came out, he was the one who seemed to put the most thought into how the system installation would work. It was not straightforward because, unfortunately, my electrical panel is on the opposite side of the room from the house. He is now my go-to for HVAC issues. Hands down. read more

Kao is great. I was surprised he reached out after hours as we noticed our heater was not working late one evening. With a toddler in the house it was important for me to have a warmed house. Kao came out the next day and quickly diagnosed the problem. He was very clear on the work he was going to perform and luckily found it was a small part and not a major one that needed to be replaced (a relay vs the vlower/motor being out). He explained the warranty through him on the part and work he performed. We are very happy with Kaos work! Will work with him again in the future. read more

Kao is really knowledgeable and trustworthy. Very responsive. I highly recommend Climate Solutions for any hvac issues.

Kao is an HVAC super hero! My igniter stopped working on what seemed like the coldest night of the year. With a toddler sleeping in his crib, as the temps continued to drop, my anxiety was through the roof. We bundled up, made it through the night and made several calls the next morning based on Yelp reviews. Most companies were closed or simply didn't have time for us. We were lucky to find that Climate Solutions had time to see us later that same day. Kao came out within a few hours, resolved my issue within mins of getting on the roof & was honest about the cause/what I needed do next. He took the time to come out, get my heat working again, & explain everything - the same day - despite being a big 49er fan and knowing they would be playing in their biggest game in years during my scheduled appointment. Btw... just moments after we wrapped up our transaction, the Niners scored a TD on their first drive. Kao is Magic. read more

Amazing quality. Kao is extremely personable as well. He explained what was wrong with our gas heater and fixed it at a reasonable value. I thought it would be a lot more and felt bad using the Yelp coupon. He wouldn't let me charge myself more because it was worth more than what I saved. Sounds odd but it was worth every penny. Even came with a 5 year warranty. Thank goodness for people like Kao. Please support Climate Solutions they will be my go to technicians in the future as well. read more

This is a long overdue review. I've been using Kao's service for the rentals I manage in Elk Grove since 2019. The first service I got from Kao was for an AC condenser replacement. The old condenser was ruined by dog pees and deemed unrepairable by all the HVAC companies that came to give me a quote. Kao gave one of the most competitive quotes and did a fast excellent job, with which he also offered many years of warranty plus annual tune-ups. He also took time to give me valuable advice regarding how to maintain the unit and avoid issues down the line. Since then, he has been my go-to guy for HVAC issues in the area, ranging from tuneups to repairs to full replacement. He never upsold and has always been giving honest opinions on what repairs are absolutely necessary and what are nice to have. His price has been very reasonable also. Great communications as well. He kept me informed every step in the process. When he says he's gonna be there to get your issue taken care of within this arrival time window, rest assured he's gonna show up and get to work as promised! read more

Very professional and thorough with the cleaning service. From start to finish, service was good! Tech arrived on time and gave a courtesy call upon arrival. Tech laid out a protective tarp to protect all flooring while he worked and cleaned up/ vacuumed after the service was completed to be sure the area was left clean of any dirt or debris from vents. I would highly recommend this company. read more

I wanted to wait a couple of weeks before posting a review, so I was certain our unit was functioning properly. We had an old furnace replaced. Our unit was old, 25+ years and stopped working. Kao is amazing! He's responsive, prompt and ensures all your questions are answered. We received numerous quotes and Climate Solutions' prices beat the competition. His partner Jun is just as amazing. I work from home and he advised of everything he would be doing and tried to accommodate me, even though they were working for me. Great service!!! We were also remodeling our bathroom and had multiple deliveries while they were working. Jun helped move the boxes from the garage into the house. I'll DEFINITELY use Climate Solutions for any future needs, thanks Kao!! read more

Asked for service %0 response - yeah nope.... Complete wase of time renews re false...

Great Service! Had the guys out to do general maintenance on our roof AC/furnace combo and perform a vent cleaning. It was unfortunately one of the days we had 105+ weather; the team showed ip and did the maintenance bright and early to get the roof work out of the way before it got too hot. Vent cleaning took about 3 hours for 15 vents and 2 returns. The systems was definitely dirty!! post cleaning i have no complaints at all!! the AC works better and the air feels more clean. cannot wait to see how much better the furnace works this winter! we will definitely be using them again next year for the yearly service. read more

I initially reached out to Kao when our furnace stopped blowing hot air but he wasn't going to be avaible for a few days so I ended up going with another company that was able to make it out sooner. The gentleman that came from Jaguar heating and air was very professional and was able to quickly diagnose the problem. We were told the draft motor was stuck but he was able to get it to work again.. However, he did let us know there's no telling when it will happen again.. But because he didn't have the part on hand we opt to not replace it at that time.. The qoute that was given was $840.. As expected it stopped working again within a few weeks.. Because I wanted to support Asian owned small businesses I decided to reach out to Kao again.. He responded promptly and came out within two days.. The part was stuck and it took longer than anticipated but as soon as he was able to get the part off, the rest of it was done pretty quick.. Cost out the door including part and labor came to $475.. Kao kindly explained that it was because the particular brand of our furnace didn't require the entire housing to be replace and that we only needed to replace the motor itself.. I'm glad we had Climate Solution come out instead of the previous company.... Kao provided honest and great service.. I definitely recommend using Climate Solutions and will definitely be recommending them to family, friends and clients who are in need of HVAC services. Thank you so much for being efficient and honest Kao! We appreciate you... read more

I should have posted this review a lot sooner than now. Kao came out promptly with an estimate, and was willing to work with us on the unit to be replaced. He showed up on time and was a true professional. Our home A/C has never worked this good before! And my SMUD bill went down with the new unit! I would recommend Kao and Climate Solutions to anyone needing work on their system. Thank You Kao! read more

Kao was running late but he called to let me know. My AC was blowing hot air at the worst time of the week when we hit 100 degrees. My house temperature was 92 degrees!!!! Kao came and turned on my AC and checked my breakers since my AC unit did not turn on, and the only thing wrong was that the fuse/breakers for my unit blew out because of the hot weather. I am very glad that Kao was thorough in checking what needs to be done and even checked my vents and suggested better ones that I can buy at Home Depot. He changed the fuses and had my AC running. I will definitely recommend Kao for any HVAC issues. read more
