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!

The crew handled it neatly and professionally. When they finished, it looked like new.

After over a month of frustration with my home warranty company and another contractor who failed to replace my AC, I contacted Rebel Air. The difference was night and day. I got on the phone with Johnny the same day I requested bids from multiple contractors, and he was super nice and professional. He gave me a quote the same day, which was impressive and a huge relief after all the back and forth I had been through with my home warranty company. The very next day, Johnny and his team were at my house at 8am with the new units for my split system, ready to install. Johnny and his team's efficiency and professionalism were top-notch, and to top it off, the price was very reasonable. I'm now enjoying cool, comfortable air at 55°F blowing through the vents, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided (I don't keep my place at 55*F, but that's the capability of the AC Johnny hooked me up with!). Rebel Air truly went above and beyond, making the whole process smooth and stress-free Highly recommend!

I was really impressed with the service I received from Golden West Heating and Cooling. I called on a Saturday afternoon after my heater had been working only intermittently for the prior few days. I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to come by within an hour or so. Don was able to figure out that the parts probably just needed a quick cleaning. He did the cleaning and now I am happy to report that the heater hasn't failed since. Not only was the price great but he gave me a lot of good information about my particular heater and how it works. While talking to him, I definitely had a feeling that he was being completely honest with me and that he really cared about treating his customers right. I planning on calling them again if I have any issues my heater or air conditioner going forward. read more

Further, because our prior HVAC technician could not fix our heater problem after 3 visits, we were recommended to replace the whole HVAC unit and the ducks. However, when Lindsey's came, they told us that we would not need to replace our HVAC system or the ducks because, after much investigation, they found that it was just a roller switch that needed to be replace and all they needed to do was to try and find that brand of switch then we should be ok. And they did it! Not only are they very experienced with the various types of heaters and AC systems, most importantly of all, this is a vey honest company!
