They performed an inspection, found the problem, and fixed it right away. What I really appreciated was that they also checked the ventilation system and honestly told me that it was clean and didn't need to be serviced. My original request was about the heating not working, but they actually did a bit more by checking everything and even replacing the filters. It was refreshing to see that they didn't try to upsell unnecessary services, which I truly appreciated. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

Until very recently I had been very pleased with Kilowatt. However, I've learned that Dean has sold…read morethe business and retired and my interactions so far after that have not been satisfactory. Less than two years ago, we spent over $14,000 on Kilowatt rewiring our house, that is after we spent over $30,000 with them for a new air conditioner and they did really great work. One of the things they installed were wired smoke detectors with 10 year batteries. This was their choice not ours. One of them started going bad recently, going off with an error message that I could reset but which would go off again within 24 hours. I called Kilowatt about it and it took several days but one of the men who installed it came out on a Monday with the wrong equipment. He said he would return the next day. He didn't. When he hadn't arrived by the following Friday, I called Kilowatt and after a long wait for someone to answer the call, I was told someone would call me the next Monday with how much it would cost; I was expecting it to be replaced for free. However, no one did and another week went by before I called them. In the meantime, I had been forced to remove the smoke detector since it kept going off. I found out this past mid-week that their solution would be to charge me over $300 to have someone come out and replace it. That was not a satisfactory answer and not something I would have expected from Kilowatt when Dean was running it. We've been customers for over a decade, they've installed two units for us in that time but for the first time I felt more like a number on a ledger rather than an appreciated long time customer.

I woke up one Sunday morning to a nightmare scenario: something in my attic was leaking directly…read moreinto my kitchen. I assumed it was the AC unit sitting right above it, so I contacted Pioneers in a mild panic. They quickly put me in touch with Tomer, who showed up that same afternoon to take a look. From the moment he arrived, Tomer was calm, kind, and completely professional, which is exactly what you want when you're stressed about water dripping through your ceiling. He diagnosed the problem efficiently: our AC drip pan had overflowed due to a clogged drain pipe. He walked us through everything as he went, answering every question we threw at him without making us feel like we were slowing him down. He needed a couple of additional parts he didn't have on hand, so he promised to return Monday morning to finish the job. And he did, right on time. When yet another part turned out to be needed mid-repair, he didn't reschedule or leave us hanging. He went out, got it himself, and came straight back to finish what he started. No drama, no delays. While he was up in the attic, he also flagged some rat droppings and other pest concerns. But not in a pushy, upsell-y way, but just as a heads-up. "Here's what I'm seeing, I can get you a quote if you want." Refreshingly straightforward. Tomer turned a stressful Sunday emergency into a resolved problem by Monday afternoon. Thanks Pioneers H&A!

I hope others will still consider giving them a chance, and if issues arise, I'd recommend reaching out directly to discuss possible resolution.

I came across an offer from an affiliate of Home Depot for an AC tune-up for $8.88. Thought it was…read morea great bargain, and I'm sure many of you would too. So I'm going to give you a forewarning, it's a classic bait-and-switch (i.e get your foot in the door and then upsell). I was recommended a hard-start kit (aka compressor saver) and an air purification system. The cost? $1,800+. I told the tech that that's a bit steep for me, so he said, how much could you afford? I said maybe closer to $1,500. The tech called his manager and inform me that they would do it for that price. Initially, I was happy to receive a 20% discount. That is of course, until I googled the PlasmaPure 600 Series and the hard-start kit they sold me after the technician left, and discovered I paid $1,200+ for 2 hours of labor. This was back in June 2025. Give or take 10 months later, my air conditioner stopped working. Normally, I don't turn the AC on during the winter season, but as luck would have it, Los Angeles is having record breaking heat. I haven't used the AC for several months, and I only had a tuneup a few months before that. So I called the same company to determine why my AC wasn't working (hoping that they would stand behind their work). Upon opening the equipment, the hard-start kit they installed in June had exploded. The cause, according to their tech, was that my AC compressor was grounded. The good news? Because my Lennox unit was less than 10 years old, it's still under warranty. The cost to install and repair it? Over $5,000...yikes! :-z But the $88 you paid us today to inspect the unit will go towards the cost of the installation. That's how they get you by the way, by offering you a lower inspection charge. Since this company pulled a fast one on me last time, I decided to get a second opinion. I called Around the Clock considering it was them who initially installed my Lennox unit. They sent Oleg Stopsky out the very same day (I should mention that the other company took over a week to schedule a tech to come out). He confirmed that the compressor is in fact grounded. But because I'm a repeat customer, the cost of labor would be less than 1/3rd of what this other company quoted me. Additionally, the $125 I paid to have them come out to inspect, would be discounted from my total cost. I wanted to get a 3rd opinion just to make sure. I hate to say it, but when you're a solo female, you can easily get duped. When it comes to mechanical stuff, most technicians just assume you don't know any better...and in my case, it's somewhat true. That's why finding an honest company is so important. I contacted a company that was affiliated with Costco. They said they would give me a complimentary inspection. They too said that the unit was under warranty but their quote to repair was more than double of what Around the Clock offered me. I was glad that Around the Clock was the lowest because they were the most expedient and pleasant to work with. So as soon as Lennox sent Around the Clock the compressor, the contactor, and the capacitor, they scheduled Oleg to come out the very next day. I felt really bad because my AC is located on the roof of my building and we had record breaking heat today. But despite the unbearable heat, he remained jovial throughout. He did a superb job and was kind enough to install a permanent dryer filter when he learned that I had weak lungs. And just to show how honest they are, I asked Oleg if I should install a hard-start kit as recommended by the last technician, (because the previous one they installed in June exploded), he told me no. That since we replaced both the capacitor and the contactor (which were also under warranty), it's no longer necessary. This is probably why he's been with this company for over 25 years...because he's honest. I also like that I'm supporting a Ukrainian business. No more paying technicians from multiple companies to come out and inspect in the future. My HVAC company of choice is now Around the Clock. I'm so relieved to have air conditioning again...hallelujah!!

I had four different companies come out to provide estimates for branching off an existing HVAC…read moresystem to add a new supply vent to an interior room. Robert handled the initial evaluation and was very thorough and professional. Although So Cal Air's estimate was not the cheapest, it was the most comprehensive--including drywall patching and painting--which ultimately made me feel the most comfortable moving forward with them. Other companies either tried to upsell me on a UV lighting system or suggested opening up the entire hallway ceiling, which felt excessive for the scope of work. After accepting the estimate, there was a delay of over two weeks before I was contacted to schedule the service, and I do think communication during that time could have been improved. That said, once they reached out, they were able to schedule the work for the very next day. Victor and his crew were professional and efficient, completing the job in about half a day. They left the space clean, and the overall quality of work met my expectations. Thank you, So Cal Air!

I would highly recommend So Cal Air to anyone looking for honest, thorough HVAC service. This is…read morethe second time I've used them this year, and I couldn't be happier. Last month, they fixed a relay switch that -- with some adjustments -- started working again. The technician noted the part in case the problem returned, rather than just replacing it outright. I was happy they saved me the unnecessary expense AND conveniently noted the part so I could just call if it happened again. Since that first visit went so well, I scheduled my yearly spring maintenance with them. I always have my HVAC serviced every March, but I can say that David (I think it was David) did a noticeably more thorough job than I've experienced in past years. This appointment reinforced what I already thought - that I would certainly reach out to So Cal Air for any HVAC issues I have again. Fingers crossed I don't though!
