One of my air-conditioning units stopped working, so I called a repairman I had used in the past…read more After seeming a bit unsure of the problem, he said the unit needed a new capacitor--but that did not solve it. I decided to try Kenneth's based on the excellent reviews, and I'm very glad I did. Kenneth came out, went straight to the condenser outside without needing to enter the attic, and identified the problem within about 30 seconds. He repaired it quickly and efficiently. He was so competent that I had him return a couple of weeks later to service my other units. Kenneth is extraordinarily efficient, personable, and clear in explaining both the issue and the repair. I also appreciated being able to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe in the middle of a heat wave. Highly recommended.

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.

** 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.*******

I could not have been more happy. They knocked it out quickly and got my new heater working better than it has in all the years I lived at my house. It was far less a cost than a previous bid and they did far more. Hutch did even more than they bid for. His goal was my happiness. His workers were very courteous to my wife and they left my home clean. I have already given out their phone number to friends and family. It is good to see that there are still businesses around like Hutch Heating & Air. I would definitely use them again. Kendall

By 9am no one had called me back so I called again, still no callback by 10am. Since the house was already in the low 80s inside I started looking for someone else. By the time, Hutch called me back it was 5pm and I had already gotten a diagnosis and date for a fix. I needed a new unit. I will never call Hutch Heating and Air again. I wasn't expecting instant service but I was expecting a callback in a timely manner. Oh by the way, I now have a nice cool house and a brand new go to HVAC expert.

Here's why: I was…read morehaving trouble with my AC, was making loud noises and it went out just before I was expecting a lot of guests for a summer party. I called to see if they would come out since they installed my AC unit five years ago. They said they would send someone. Well, he came out, looked over my AC unit and my central heat unit and told me that all of it was shot! Well, I found that hard to believe (I replaced the master control board 1 year ago!). so I asked another company to come look at it, who my neighbor recommended, and he was able to actually diagnose that it was the blower and the control unit for the blower that were shot. He figured the Trane AC unit was probably working fine, but needed the blower to work properly before assessing the AC Unit. Well, my AC Just needed to be cleaned!!!! as it was filthy. He ordered the blower unit and the control unit for the blower, installed them and thoroughly cleaned my AC unit which is a Trane 500 only five years old. It all works perfectly now for last 2 months for 1/10 the quote from Air Rite! Highly recommend you clean your AC unit every spring! Now to really earn the 1-star, these people sent me a bill for $175. At no point did they tell me their visit was going to be that much! I thought it was complementary since they sold me and installed the AC unit for $3000 5 years ago!!! I told them I thought it was complementary and they sent a long winded email about their time and troubles.... Well, I got a nasty email about it being overdue and since I value my credit score more than their BS, I paid them. And I am writing this brutal but factual review so others don't get burned.

Owner Rich came out for an estimate on an HVAC install. The…read moreestimate was 10K For a 1 day install: with 1 electrical and 1 Hvac. Plus a $550 permit and about $400 in materials. So, if you are an electrician for this company make sure you invoice for about $500/hr! And their HVAC guys, I think its awesome your boss pays you $500/hr. But clients beware, there is a lot of gouging going on. Usually its $150/hr for the technical. And call the suppliers, you'll see the cost of the HVAC equipment is much less than you are being quoted! And other than duct work, its an easy day or two for an install. So do the math, and don't let our community be the place where we pay $ 500/hr for electricians.

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.
