Bill and team has always been good to us. He installed two AC units for us a while back, prices were readable and he was there to help with any follow up issue from manufacturer. Always great and easy to work with. read more

Cool Air Technologies Inc - New AC unit - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Irvine, California

Both of my air conditioning units were not cooling. I called Cool Air Tech to check the problem. The owner, Bill, came on March 20 and inspected my A/C units, including measuring the coolant pressure. I mentioned that the units might simply need additional refrigerant. After his inspection, he told me that both HVAC systems should be replaced. I explained that one of the compressors had been replaced five years ago and was still running well since last year. However, he said both units were completely out of refrigerant. Since they are older models that use R-22 Freon, he estimated it would cost at least $4,000 to refill them, with a high risk of leaks causing the refrigerant to run out again. He strongly recommended replacing both HVAC systems at a cost of around $25,000. I told him I did not have the funds and needed time to think about it. He initially charged a $160 inspection fee, but after some discussion, I paid him $120 in cash. Later that day, a friend recommended another A/C technician, H. Lee, who came to inspect the units. He found that one unit still had about 75% of its refrigerant, while the other had around 30%. In the end, I only paid to add 5.5 lbs of refrigerant. He also added EasySeal sealant to both units to help prevent leaks. Both A/C units have now been running well for over a week. Instead of replacing both systems for around $24,000, I saved approximately $21,000! Homeowners, beware: Do not rely on just one repair technician's opinion. It is wise to get a second opinion and find someone you can trust. read more

Bill and team are my family's "go to" AC repair folks in Irvine and HB. Always appreciate the quick scheduling for service and clear communication about the issue and the resolution. Thank you Bill! read more

Cool Air Tech is the most efficient and best priced service around. Bill is so friendly and makes sure to explain how to use everything and everything running smoothly. His crew that installed equipment did everything within a day and left our house very tidy and clean. Best part is there is no up sale and ALL professional service. We got quotes from 3 other places and glad we chose Cool Air, the absolute best pricing and service. read more

Bill and his crew has been taking care of me and my family for decades. Between all my family members he has installed and serviced all our AC and Heating needs at several different locations. I could not be happier with their service, the quality of the product, or their responsiveness/availability. Their expertise is second to none as whenever I have a question or issue I know they're a quick call away. Don't go anywhere else. read more

My utility bill more than doubled. Thought my dirty condenser was the. Problem. Bill showed me how to clean it but indicated that my fast running meter is likely the cause. He spent a half an hour and did not charge me for the service call. I highly recommend him. read more

I had a new AC and furnace installed with Cool Air Technologies and am very pleased with their service. Bill was honest and very informative, he described everything he'd be doing and why. The pricing was also fair and was the best price of the 3 estimates I received. And the crew that did the installation did an amazing job and were very nice, polite, and professional. I highly recommend them! read more

Bill came in the allotted time window and an evaluated my AC and came to the bottom of my problem super quick. He detected a leak and suggested to try a sealant with high success rate rather then talking me into buying a whole new system including ductwork for $30k like a different company did during last years cleaning. His approach is if it isn't broke don't fix it. What can I say, my AC is back working perfectly fine for the past week and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I highly recommend this business and will go back here when it comes time to replace my system. read more

We had our HVAC system replaced by Cool Air Technologies a few months back. Bill and his company were wonderful and provided us amazing service. Highly recommended! Adriana H. read more

My furnace stopped working and the next morning I called this company based on good reviews from people on Next Door. I called before 7AM and talked to a very polite lady who told me I would receive a call from a technician. I received a call from Bill and he was able to come out the same day. A new control board had to be ordered and I was told he'd come back the next day, telling me what the total cost would be. Bill called early the next morning, came back out, and by 11AM I had my heater working again. Bill was easy to work with, punctual, and transparent on pricing. He also gave me some good advice on replacing my forced air registers inside the house. read more

Quality work, knowledgeable and friendly people, great service and a fair price....oh yeah, and they finished the job on time as promised. My AC/Heating system died a week before I was leaving for month of business travel and didn't want to leave my family to suffer without AC. Cody & Tyler really took care of me. Of the 5 companies that came out and bid the replacement of my entire system including ductwork, they weren't the cheapest, but I thought they were the best value. I'm a picky engineer and I want things done right. I was not disappointed. The system was installed to perfection with a day to spare. Thanks guys. read more

I have known Bill and used Cool Air Technologies for my property management company for at least 10 years. They are always competitive and quick to resolve the problems. I encourage my owners and friends to call Bill! read more

Great service from Cool Air Technologies on one of the hottest day of the year. Prompt response to my call and and our A/C was back up again the same afternoon! No wonder we've been happy customers for almost 10 years! Thanks Bill! read more

My wife and I hired Bill McIntosh, who owns Cool Air Technologies, and couldn't be happier. Our old furnace and AC just got too tired. The price Bill quoted us was very fair and his crew finished on time. Their work ethic was more than satisfactory. I'm a retired contractor so these things are very important when this much work is being done at our home. We would recommend Cool Air Technologies to anybody who wants to be treated fairly.

Can't say enough good things about Bill and Cool Air Technologies. They replaced our aging a/c unit four years ago. Bill did a great job - we referred him to our neighbors, who had an equally good experience. We needed 'emergency' repair this week and got a quick response to the message we left. No one wants to be without a/c during the heatwave and Trish and Cheryl (in the office) were very sympathetic. Although it couldn't be repaired that day, we were assured we'd be worked into the schedule. An appointment was scheduled for two days later but Bill stopped by that same day, on his way home, and fixed us up in an hour. Great service, really really great staff and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more

We called Cool Air based on a referral from a friend. They came out the same day during a heat wave and replaced our capacitor. Bill was great in educating us on how often to change the air filter and how to keep our AC unit running in tip top shape. Great service...highly recommend. read more

Full disclosure, I first found and used this wonderful AC/Heating Company when this company was highly recommended to us and had A+ Awarded , with the HIGHEST Awards on "Angie's List". At that time we had some past issues with our indoor central air heater (also used this company for yearly winter safety inspections) , this time today our outdoor AC unit was on the blink (slow R22 leak, and valve repairs, and if you have an old R22 Freon gas unit, you know or quickly find out how very, very expensive R22 Freon gas is and hard to come by. I called their office, we got a prompt appointment and gave us a time frame, and they came out right on time. . Bill McIntosh, The Owner came with a Great Co-Worker, and determine what was wrong, had the needed R22 Freon AC replacement gas & fixed my slow leak and damage valve, without any sales pressure in buying a new AC from him. Bill told us, that luckily the repair & R22 should last a few more years, then call him for a new replacement as he very good deals on AC and Heater new replacements. (Yes We Diffidently Will) Just a short note, we had another company come to our house a week prior, as the AC seemed to me to be off (without mentioning the AC/Heaters Comany's Name here, but you can look up my review on them on my Yelp Name Account reviews) Even though they were very professional over the phone and the sent out AC Tech, he price quoted a charge of over $800 dollar just to replace the R22 Freon Gas ! and over $1200.00 dollars to make the repairs and add R22 Freon Gas! WOW ! , Yikes ! Let's just say Bill & Cool Air Technologies came out, determined what was wrong and price quoted me (unless there were other found new issues during inspection) us $775.00 dollars to fix repairs and add R22 Freon gas! that's like 50% OFF !! WOW , and the AC works GREAT! . (A Happy Wife for a Happy Life) Thanks again Bill and Co Worker, & Cool Air Technologies We will defiantly use you and your company again ! The McDonnell Family read more

Trish was very pleasant and straight forward on the phone. I called on a Saturday and even though we scheduled an appt for Monday, Bill came by on the way from another appt and fixed our issue within an hour! Great friendly service and he explained some extra things about he system I didn't know about. I highly recommend them. Bill does all the work himself so it's high quality. read more

A few years ago we had Cool Air Technologies replace our heater and because they did such a nice job on that install, when it came time to add A/C they were one of the companies we asked to bid on this job. Cool Air was among the most competitive quotes we received and knowing what a great job they did on our furnace we selected them to do our A/C. They did a great job installing the unit. They were thorough and efficient. They did a quality installation. We had a small issue with the ducting in the attic and they were out the next day and went above and beyond to rectify the situation. I would highly recommend Cool Air Tech. for heating and A/C. read more

Bill and his crew installed a new Rheem gas furnace for me. They were professional, clean and completed high-quality work. They were quick, thorough and walked me through all aspects of my new system. They'll be the first I can if I need anything else. Thanks Bill and team. Much appreciated. read more

Bill the owner and Richard from Cool Air Tech are fantastic. Great Service! We have been using them since we moved to the area 2.5 years ago. Extremely knowledgeable, prompt service, great communication. Very fair and reasonable prices. I highly recommend them. We could not be happier. read more

Bill is the best. He's done several jobs for me.... All within budget with fast friendly service. The last job was a challenge.... But Bill stayed the course and went the extra mile to make sure everything was done safely and correctly. A rare find in today's business place. read more

We needed to remove our asbestos ducting and replace them with new ones. However, we had a unique setup in our house (at least to us). Therefore, we had obtained several quotes from different companies in regards to our ducting situation. Although CAT was not the cheapest, we went with them based upon the confidence of what was outlined in their proposal. CAT's crew was very prompt and courteous. It's only been a day but the AC seems to work much more efficiently! I only wish I knew about the Yelp coupon! Ha, thank you! read more

Just when I thought I was going to freeze to death, Bill came over, gave me a great price on a new, energy efficient heating system and removed all the old stuff within hours. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Cool Air! read more

After 26 years, we decided to replace our central air conditioning. After making several unproductive calls to other services, I happened upon Cool Air on the internet. They installed our new compressor (Rheem) and we were totally pleased with the service. Both the technician and the office staff I dealt with were very pleasant and had a "can do" attitude. They came to install the new unit within a week and only took a few hours to get the job done. PERFECT! read more

Good Guy, Family owned business run by an efficient husband and wife team. I used Bill on a simple furnace/AC tune up and he did a great job. He went above and beyond to make sure things worked. I'll use him again. My wife and I are Realtors and are very particular about who we use. read more

When my air conditioner broke down I panicked. My wife and I don't handle being hot well, so we needed someone to get the job done right. I remembered a friend of mine who had recently gotten a full air conditioning system installed in his house so I gave him a call. He said it had been installed by Bill McIntosh, owner of Cool Air Technologies. He had been very happy with the service and price, and his system worked great. I immediately got on the phone and gave them a call. They were a pleasure to deal with on the phone and the great service continued when Bill showed up at my door. He was friendly and professional, and it seemed like he had our air conditioning blowing cool air again in no time. I was also VERY pleased with the price. For great, affordable service, I don't think you can do any better. I have recommended Bill to all my friends and family, and those who have needed him have been as happy as I was with the service they received. Thanks, Bill!!! read more

Sorry Bill but I'm not a competitor. I am a real customer that you installed the aforementioned system in 2003. My wife and I live in a town house off of beach and Garfield. I notice all the awards you sited on your response were 2006 and beyond. Perhaps you learned something post 2003. All I know is that I asked you on numerous occasions to make this "right". Certainly it's not an unreasonable expectation to have a central air systems last more than 1 1/2 years. This review is honest and truthful. read more

This company is awesome. Professional, reliable, and true experts. I had interactions with the owner, Bill, and two of his installers, Larry and Richard. They were great to work with. Not the cheapest bid that I received, but very fair!!!!! Thorough, diligent, clean, and friendly. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Cool Air Technologies was great! Very friendly staff-- Bill and his wife were excellent! We had received another estimate from a different company to service the AC on our new house. Glad we trusted our instincts to get a second opinion from Bill at Cool Air Tech as we would have had unnecessary work done as well as paid way too much. Bill and his staff answered all my questions regarding my AC and even were able to find a creative way to get on the roof of my abnormally tall house (other companies couldn't find a way) Would highly recommend Cool Air Technologies! read more

Bill and his crew were fantastic. They came in, removed and replaced our old air ducts, installed and moved our thermostat, replaced our old vents, installed a new compressor, and replaced the coil and the coil housing. They were on time, were done in less than two days, and totally cleaned up after themselves. And, we thought the price was more than fair! read more

Bill is my go-to technician for HVAC repair. He was referred to me in 2014 by a VERY picky friend-the best kind of recommendation. I was converting my residence to a rental and my then-34 year old A/C system was leaking coolant. Bill suggested a fix that was about 1/10 the cost of a new system. He said he wasn't sure if it would work; if it didn't, I would have to invest in a new system, and the price of the fix would be deducted. Since I was doing an entire rehab, saving the cost of a new system was very appealing. The fix worked. Recently, there was an issue with the thermostat, and Bill promptly replaced it. By the way, the 2014 fix to the A/C unit still works. Of course, I still need a new system. I'm looking to change it out this summer and Bill will be the one replacing it. He's honest, explains things well and discusses alternatives. It's important to have service people on my team that I can trust and have confidence in. I also believe in patronizing small businesses whenever possible. Last, but not least, Trish, who answers the phone, is very pleasant and accommodating, which is always a plus. :) read more

Cool air was good to me. I had a gas leak problem that they helped me sort through. After getting the run around from different plumbers, Cool Air was able to help me find the problem and quickly solve it. They replaced my old furnace (gas leak that other co couldn't find) and got the job done quickly, efficiently and professionally. They did a great job. I will definitely call Cool Air with future A/C and heating needs. read more

The service was very quick and professional. They got to me within a day and the price was very reasonable. I will use them exclusively from now on. read more

Bill first came out to our home when we bought it over two years ago to inspect our furnace from 1967. After a cleaning and inspection, he told us it was good to go for at least another year...he was right! He could have easily sold us a whole new system, but instead gave us good advice and customer service. One year later when it was time to fire up the furnace again it was acting funny. Bill came out, ran the same tests and we decided it was time to upgrade. His crew is fast, efficient and courteous. They treated my home with the kind of care they use in their own. A few days ago the furnace was not turning on. He came out the same day I called and discovered a case of user error. My bad. I was ready to pay for the service call since the furnace had been installed over a year ago...but he called it close enough to be covered and didn't charge me. Professional and honest, from beginning to end! I would recommend them to anyone! read more
