During the Install
Joe P.

I got a call from my tenant at 8:00 AM on a Saturday saying they smelled smoke coming from the heating ducts, obviously this got my attention. Free Air Mechanical was referred to me by a work acquaintance so I looked them up on Yelp to see what others had to say. Needless to say I called Free Air within about 5 minutes of reading the reviews. I wish all referrals were as spot on as this one was. I called Free Air at about 8:30 and Peter (Petko) picked up the phone and was able to get out there the same morning. This immediately put my tenant at ease knowing we took this seriously. Unfortunately I didn't get good news but that had nothing to do with Petko's service. He gave me the options available to me and the approximate price it would take to fix it, and let me tell you, this was not an easy fix. The unit was on a raised platform 10 feet in the air. Petko had the knowledge and expertise to take the existing unit down so work could be done on the platform and put the new unit up in the same spot. Needless to say this was more than a 1 day job. We had a rainy spell during this time and Petko assured me the work would be done rain or shine, and true to his word that was in fact the case. When it came time to install the new unit I went to the house to see the progress and let me tell you, nothing lined up perfectly as the new unit had different ducting ports. I have been around for a while and can appreciate the true craftsman when I see one and Petko is in fact not only a Journeyman in his field but he is a Craftsman extraordinaire. He made the needed ducting BY HAND! With only a hand held sheet metal bending tool. It truly was a treat to watch someone that really knows what they are doing. Since Petko and his company Free Air Mechanical were referred to me and he did such an outstanding job I can't help but write him a review and hope that you, as did I give his company a call for any HVAC needs.

Slim condenser unit installed. Photo taken approx 6 months after installation, still looks great!

See all

Petkov and his sons are professional and courteous. They refilled my Freon and installed a smart thermostat. I highly recommend!

As a Realtor, I'm used to vetting contractors, so I gathered five different quotes for this project--including bids from Tytum, Progressive Heating, and Fuse AC. Airmaxx not only provided the best price quote, but their proposal was the most complete. They were the only ones who made the permitting process completely seamless, which was critical for my tight timeline. And great equipment recommendation. The Carrier 37MURA High-Efficiency Heat Pump--it's a "slim line" model, so it has a much smaller footprint than those old bulky cubes, which was perfect for my San Diego side yard. Plus, it uses variable-speed inverter technology, making it really quiet and efficient. The communication with their office was prompt and professional from the initial Yelp inquiry to the final invoice. They scheduled the work quickly, and the installation of the new Lennox furnace was fast and clean. It's rare to find a company that hits the trifecta of best price, highest quality, and fastest turnaround. I highly recommend the Airmaxx team for anyone in San Diego looking for reliable HVAC work!

They arrived right on time at exactly 9:00 AM, and from start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and incredibly thorough. What really stood out was how they walked me through every step of the process, making sure I understood what was happening and why. They nailed every detail with care and precision, and it's clear they take pride in their work. To me, the most important qualities in any company are trust, honesty, and peace of mind -- and they delivered all three. When the job was done, I felt 100% confident everything had been done right. This team will absolutely be my go-to HVAC company moving forward. Thank you for the awesome work, fellas! Glen and Dmytro

The heat pump gave us air conditioning in addition to heat - a welcome bonus. Recently, we started hearing a whistling sound and worried that a bearing or other component was going bad. Max Air came out, examined the system top-to-bottom and determined that the ductwork in our house was too small and that the force of air through the ducts caused the whistling. They adjusted the fan to blow more gently and that took care of the whistling. Max Air could have told us we need to replace all ductwork. Instead they found an easy and practical solution for us. We highly recommend them.

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.
