First Choice has installed new air conditioning on both of my two rental units. They are always on time. Their technicians are very professional and friendly. The owner has come out twice to make sure the project will b e complete smoothly. Prior to purchasing a new A/C unit from First Choice, we had tenants come out and the A/C failed. First Choice sent out a technician that afternoon and figured out a work around until we could get the new unit installed. We nothing but good things to say about this company. read more

First Choice installed a new Amana HVAC system in 2018. We have had their annual service plan since purchase. Techs come out in spring (AC) and fall (heat) and service the system. Every visit has been professional and technicians arrive as scheduled or call to announce ETA. Company has been outstanding regarding service and communication. read more

We had our HVAC totally replaced by First Choice a few years ago after our system went down. They got it working but due to its age they suggested it was not efficient and likely will continue to require major service. Now our system is amazing, efficient and keeps our home super cool during the hottest summer months. The quality of their workmanship, products, support and service are absolutely the best. Their pricing is fair and they are very reasonable to work with. One of the best in the industry. Very customer focused. We also signed up on their service plan meaning their techs come out twice a year to inspect, change filters and tune up the entire HVAC system to ensure it is operating optimally. The follow up and attention to detail they provide is industry leading and they will always be our first choice for our HVAC. read more

Called this company at 8am on a Sunday and they sent someone out by 11am. The tech arrived early and had our a/c working in less than an hour! We were extremely happy with the service and how fast they came out! We actually got a call after to make sure we were satisfied! I highly recommend them! We bought a service contract on the spot because we were so satisfied! read more

We have used First Choice for our HVAC needs in LaQuinta for about 8 years. They are very responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. Price for the service is exceptionally good! I will always use First Choice for my Heating and Air Conditioning needs! read more

5 star service all around!! Called today hoping to get same day service and luckily they had a cancellation and got me in! The lady who took my info and appt was so kind and welcoming. Eduardo was the service tech who arrived. He was very polite and professional. Appreciated he even brought his own shoe covers to wear before entering my home. He was quick to diagnose and gave me so much helpful information! He was not pushy with any extra services and only charged me for the filters he replaced! I was so impressed with this company I felt compelled to write this review right away! Will definitely use them again for all my air conditioning/ heating services!! Thank you! read more

First Choice AC has been servicing my home for over two years. Twice a year, their technicians come out and do a thorough inspection on my HVAC system. They are prompt, courteous and a very professional company. I would highly recommend them. read more

I have used First Choice for quite a while a few years and won't use anyone else. Never a problem with setting up my annual service and like clock work a technician arrives as promised. I get a diagnosis of my system with the annual service sent to email and if a part is failing the technician will let me know without paying a service call. There may be other companies offering special prices but there is no better honest professional company than First Choice. read more

First Choice AC has an incredible team of technicians. Atilla, the owner, it's very professional and has a great staff. A recent thermostat issue was addressed immediately, and a very professional manner, and the problem was resolved after a problematic issue. They have the highest standards and very well trained technicians. Recommend this great company. Five star service. read more

I have been a customer of First Choice A/C & Heating since October 2022, at least. From Marisa in the office to Carlos, the tech that comes to my home, I have found their customer service to be top notch. Mostly, Carlos comes twice a year to complete the annual maintenance of the furnace and AC unit. However, the most recent visit was due to the AC not working right at the first heat wave of the year, of course. Carlos was here the next day to diagnose the issue. He ordered the part and had the AC operating as normal within 1 business day. I have always found Carlos to be professional, respectful and knowledgeable. I feel very comfortable with him in my home. I work from home, so usually when he is here I shut my office door so I can work - - I totally trust him in my home without me feeling a need to babysit. First Choice A/C & Heating - my go to! read more

Stop! If you're looking for top quality in performance, value and supreme customer service in A/C & heating you're done searching. I along with my neighbor have used their services for a number of years and I can't say enough good things about them. Starting with the professionalism from the moment you call that extends to every technician that comes out to service your unit. Marissa handles a lot of the office functions and will ensure you will not feel like a number, but that your issue will be addressed as soon as possible! Always willing to help and has great personable skills. Knowledgeable the team aspect is seen as she interacts with the technicians your issue to prepare them to meet with you. As a woman home owner it's nice to know that you will get a pic emailed to you with a nice intro from the technician along with a call and text that they are in route. Reminder texts re: your appointment is part of the process and they also enter your home covering their feet. Carlos is my maintenance technician who I have requested, however this last visit he was on vacation and I met others that came for an issue I was having with my air. You know you picked the right company when your selected favorite is out on vacation and find out other technicians are just as professional, knowledgeable and worked for hours trying to find the issue then concluding that they would replace the part that was under warranty and on another day with another crew honored that by working from 8am to 7pm! Only leaving to replace a cracked board which they say was under warranty too! How often do you find a reputable company with technicians that do that! The owner Atila did come by a few days later because I had an issue with my heating element and he installed the part. Long story short, all is working great and resolved by a small company that believes in taking care of their customers, providing the best work which is evident because they don't stand for anything less and an owner that understands how important it is to hire top quality personable technicians. So what are you waiting for? read more

Excellent customer service from this company out of the gate.. Had great experience from Michelle that did my scheduling to Eduardo that came and did my maintenance.. Got a call first thing in AM that he was on his way and explained everything to me of what was done and any recommendations that was needed.. Never tried to sell me anything I didn't need.. Very reasonable price for their maintenance.. Wish I could give them a higher than a 5 *. Rating.. read more

Noel and Alex C came out this morning to get my home up and running. What I really appreciated was how Noel walked me through EVERY THING as he did it. I learned a ton about ac units! He was helpful to a degree First Choice goes into my contacts as my "First Choice" for my HVAC system. I'll be contacting the office to get the routine maint package. They had great communication with the appointment, called when they were on their way, arrived on time, fair pricing, outstanding service on site. I can't say enough about this experience! OUTSTANDING!! read more

Team is always awesome! They came out multiple times to try and help me with my AC. Their teams are always very professional.

We've used First Choice A/C for three years. They've done all our regular seasonal check-ups. That was until today. I had just returned from an out-of-town trip only to find our house was 91 degrees. Obviously something was very wrong. As it was a Sunday, I was hesitant to place a request for repair expecting the up charge service call price would be through the roof. I spoke with Natasha who assured me that the price would be the same as what it would be for regular M-F business hours call. I was certain that due to the high temperature today, that First Choice would be slammed with other people calling. Lucky for me, I was able to get an appointment for the same day. Natasha stayed in communication with me. She advised that the technician scheduled to do our service was still working on an earlier call, but that she had scheduled another technician who had previously serviced our A/C. I was delighted at this level of service and communication! Our technician-Carlos-was quick to examine the situation. He provided two suggestions for repair and went over both alternatives and answered questions clearly. He set to work (did I mention the temperature is 106 today?) and about an hour later, our A/C was back up and running and cooling us off! One additional thing I appreciate is that First Choice equips their technicians with tablets so they can reference work previously completed. Really helpful. One final shout-out to Service Technician Carlos: Super professional, knowledgeable, respectful and polite. He's an asset to First Choice. Net Net: First Choice gets a very hearty thumbs up from us. We would not hesitate to recommend them. A solid Five Star experience. Many thanks! read more

Great company and right down the street from us in Palm Desert. They responded to my Yelp request in an hour or so and set me up with an appointment to check our heater in two days. Got text messages and a phone call when the tech was on his way. Carlos was great. Went through our heater to make sure everything was in order, then turned to our thermostat. Yes, it was all on me :) I had installed a new thermostat, but didn't go deep into the settings. Carlos whipped through 10 or so screens to get it set up and the heater came on. We bought the checkup package for a year. $120 to come out in the spring to check the AC, then return next fall to check the heater. I feel secure. read more

I've been using First Choice for many years. I manage 20 properties and have found them to be very honest... that is the most important thing to me. I want to be confident that they are repairing my unit and not making things up just for the money. I call them for all repairs and services on all 20 properties. They also go out of their way to be as loyal to me as I am to them with quick responses. Thank you. Barbara. read more

First time had them. Huge panic a/c total broke down on weekend-they were open-got appt in 4 hours. Military discount-total fixed whole central a/c-outside and inside. Well done-will use from now on Get checkup every year before summer starts read more

They are always on time, honest and trustworthy. Will continue to use in the future.

Everything you expect from a professional and well-run company. They answered the phone, answered my questions, suggested a course of action, and then performed the work in a timely manner and for a reasonable price. My housekeeping company will now start referring First Choice to our 500+ clients when any of them require HVAC service. Thank you! read more

This is our first summer in the Desert, and wouldn't you know it, one of our AC units went down on a 117 degree August day. Because we just bought this home, we had a home warranty so I called them first. They were of little to no help and said the soonest they could send a vendor would be 48 hours out. We have a dog fighting leukemia and is super sensitive to heat, so this wasn't going to work. I went to Yelp and found that First Choice was the best reviewed company and gave them a call. They said they could get someone out the same day. Thank goodness! I received a text message letting me know when the technician was on his way, and there was a link I could choose if I wanted to find out more about him before he arrived. Silvester arrived on time, provided excellent communication and within 30 minutes he had replaced our capacitor and the house was back to cooling mode. I had a lot of questions about the condition of these 15 year old AC units (we have three) and Silvester patiently provided options and suggestions for transitioning to newer units, and let me ask a ton of questions. I am so grateful to have found this company, and cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Had split system installed in garage. Some difficulty getting app to work. Atilla the owner came out twice to help me work through it and resolve issues. Called a year later for service problem and they had technician scheduled within an hour on a Friday night. Turned out problem was "user" error. My goof. Always very friendly and patient. Unit works great. Would use no one else to service my HVAC. read more

From start to finish they were easy to work with, communicative and helpful. Marissa made the estimate process and scheduling the installation easy and I appreciate the level of professionalism. Instal was on time, clean and efficient. No one wants to have to replace their HVAC equipment in summer, but these guys made it as painless as possible. read more

Awesome job on my installation, these guys did a great job and didn't try to rip me off or overcharge me. Thanks so much y'all! I called two other plumbing services and I was overcharged. y 3 times the amount by Hammer plumbing, I was sick to my stomach. Horrible service and priced me so high because he said I can afford it! I went somewhere else instead. read more

I have to give my priase to Atila who came to my request when my AC was not working. He scheduled me in on a Saturday last minute. He fixed the problem and the cost was super reasonable....I paid for the part and then 99 dollars for the service. When leaving he noticed the thermastat was not working right and he then rushed to the office to get me a new one, even though it was quite late by that time. My AC works so much better now and I am very happy with this company and with the service Atila offered! read more

These guys are awesome. Used them for a complete AC replacement a few years ago, just had them come service and repair one of my units that went out in the 122-degree heat. Always professional, great to deal with, and get it done right. Can't recommend highly enough. There are lots of AC companies in the desert, it's so nice to find one that's professional, friendly, capable, and fantastically competent! I'm definitely a fan (pun intended!). read more

We've recently benefited from Silvester and Carlos' professional ministrations; both guys knowledgeable and able to temporarily resurrect an ailing AC. Because they do not work with our home-warranty company, we then had to seek intervention with one who does and secured a discounted replacement unit after much Sturm und Drang. As a Realtor, I'm always seeking reliable vendors and have added First Choice to my preferred list. read more

We needed a Nest thermostat installed. First choice responded quickly with a very fair estimate. They had flexibility in scheduling. The technician was on time and very professional. He had to climb to the roof to access the furnace and he did it willingly. He discovered that we had some excess/useless wires connecting to our old thermostat and he took the initiative to remove them when he could have left them to save time and we'd have no idea. The final price was the same as quoted, despite the extra effort. Highly recommend this company. read more

I was out of town and my elderly mother was home and the AC shut down. I was quite concerned and contacted first choice on Sunday. the receptionist was so kind and helpful and got a technician to come within the hour. I was rushing home from the airport and he arrived 20 mins before me and got to work. Turns out it was a simple fix but Eduardo took the time to check everything and go over the best ways for me to maintain my system. I can't tell you how pleased i was with this company and will continue to use them and refer them to any and everybody. thank you Eduardo for everything. and thank you first choice. read more

Highest quality service. Very competitive in pricing. Extremely satisfied with the company and attention to detail.

My AC stopped working at 5.45pm Friday evening, and with temperatures of 115 F, I called around to try and get someone to come an fix my AC immediately. I called other prominent AC companies in the desert and they wanted to charge me twice the price for a service call to come at around 11pm that night! I called First Choice AC company. The customer service rep over the phone was very friend and helpful. She showed that she cared about the situation I was in. She mentioned that someone could come within the hour, and at half the service call pricing of the other companies. The price was fair. In less than 30 minutes, the service tech Silvester called me, saying that he was 5-10 minutes away. He came very quickly, he was very professional, explaining what he would do to diagnose the problem. In short, he fixed the problem, and explained other issues that I may wish to fix to lengthen the life of the AC. Additionally, he noticed my air filter was dirty, so he fixed my AC, changed my AC filter in less than an hour! So within 1 and 1/2 hours from my initial phone call to First Choice AC, my AC was back working! After the job was completed, Silvester went through exactly what was repair, the job that he did. They sent me an email with the invoice and also a chart and photos detailing the details of the repair. Great for my records! The Staff and Silvester were friendly and very professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend this AC company for fair pricing, fast and efficient and professional service! Thank you! read more

So it's Thursday evening our AC is starting to really not push out cold air so I reached out to First Choice AC and first off Marissa the office manager was so accommodating and was able to get somebody out this evening It has only been two hours since my first contact and Julian has already been out assessed the issue provided us all the information and was able to fix the problem I highly recommend this company from the first phone call until Julian left I couldn't of asked for anything more so call first choice when you have an AC issue also Julian did not do any type of upsell or anything just fix the issue and called it a day Thank you First Choice AC read more

I want to take a minute and write a review on First Choice A/C and Heating because I have been thoroughly impressed with their service!! First of all very responsive to my request to have a tune up on my A/C They we're able to schedule it the same week which was unexpected Then they sent out Carlos my technician and I can't say enough about how courteous and professional he was He was efficient with his time and very patient when explaining what needed to be done From the first call talking to Michelle to schedule to the care that Carlos provided I am sold!!! I have found my company and I recommend you give them a call They are truly first rate and will be my First Choice from here on out Thank you so much read more

over a month with 4 appts misdiagnosed every time, expects me to pay for parts that weren't bad to begin with I refused so Robby said I was intimidating his employees. Robby never showed up himself only sent inexperienced techs and never fixed the A/C. This A/C unit is 2 yrs old. An owner should backup his employees if they are not able to fix it . Imop. read more

This review is WAY overdue. First Choice has been my trusty HVAC service for years, ever since my a/c konked out over a Fourth of July weekend and they were able to install a new compressor in one day, for many hundreds of dollars less than my then-existing service (the one with the military name). Last year I had First Choice replace the whole aging HVAC system and I'm very happy with their quality work. It's a smallish company so you tend to see the same techs over time, and they're all prompt, efficient, and friendly. Highly recommended. read more

I had an emergency with my AC not working and saw the good reviews on First Choice and decided to give them a call. I was not disappointed. Their employee Julien showed up promptly as scheduled, and after trying to fix the motor on the fan, we decided we would need a new one. He went out of his way to get me one quickly in the 110 degree heat, and within a few hours my AC was back working better than ever. What a life saver First choice turned out to be, if you have a problem with your AC, do as I did and call First Choice right away and I guarantee you will be as happy with the results as I was. read more

WOW...Not sure why anyone would give them 5 stars because they did not earn that from me. I told the repair person that it might be a fuse on my AC unit. Turns out he didn't even check that first and came back with another repair for almost $400/ Afterwards he tells me that there was a bad fuse...no kidding...Like I said. Not sure he knew what he was doing and just started replacing things. Now he wants another $110 to pop in a $8.10 fuse...WTF...I feel like this is senior abuse! Let's take advantage of the old people. I happen to be in cancer treatment and had to allow this abuse because it was late and had to have AC when it was over 100 degrees outside this evening. SHAME ON FIRST CHOICE...it will never my first choice ever again...and I share a lot. read more

I called First Choice on the recommendation of my neighbor. So glad I did. I could not be more impressed with the response I got. They were on time, explained everything to me, were obviously well trained, and were super friendly. I am so glad I found this company! read more

In the midst of an unusual heat wave when our AC stopped working they were the 1st business that popped up on Yelp. Impressed by the very bubbly woman (Marisa?) who answered the phone. We got a technician out later that afternoon/ evening. Carlos was great. He fixed the problem & cleaned the unit. He even gave us a 1st Responder discount (I am a RN) when my husband asked! I would definitely call them again & I would recommend them in a heart beat. read more

Marissa was very helpful and schedule an appointment right away, tech guy was punctual and was very helpful finding the issue with our AC unit. And got the AC cooling again. Very happy with the service. read more
