Our AC unit wasn't working well so we got three quotes. George was able to come out same day to give a price and was the only one to suggest keeping the furnace as a backup to a new heat pump AC unit, as our old furnace was still working and didn't need to be removed. I'm sure this cut some costs with remove/setup, but based on some research this is ideal as the weather can get down below 40 degrees where I live. We went with GVK due to this, the fact he took the time to answer all questions thoroughly and honestly, and they were able to install the next business day; got a quote on Friday afternoon and scheduled me for Monday to install the new system. The price was also very competitive with the other options. We did have a delay in starting as they had a mix-up on install dates and had to postpone one day. However, George called and apologized and offered a discount for the mistake and to charge our current system to help keep the house cool until they came out the next day, which I think reflects how he runs a customer focused business. When he did come out that day I had more questions about the setup and based on our discussion we changed the coil for more flexibility in moving the unit in the attic one day. It was pretty clear that George runs a solid business; he double checked they left no trash after leaving, his workers made sure to set up mats everywhere they worked inside, they let us know when they would be using louder tools (as we have a baby), and they stayed until the unit was fully installed which meant they stayed pretty late. I couldn't recommend them enough. George is really easy to work with, does a great job on the customer side and also steps in to do the work himself which is all reflected in the impressive reviews he has. read more

Just had a great experience with George! He kept in constant contact with us and set proper expectations on timeline for arrival. Once here, he was able to quickly identify the issue with our furnace with the description of issue and confirmed after a quick visual inspection of the related components. He went out of his way to help describe how we could self-service the specific part (if we wanted to do so) should the same issue occur in the future - a tremendous value-add to the experience. Cost quoted for some other work was extremely reasonable as well. George was also exceptionally pleasant to ask questions of and made it clear that getting the best use out of our existing system was the top priority for him/his business. Would recommend George and GVK Heating and Air whole-heartedly. Well worth scheduling out for this level of service. read more

Our A/C went out suddenly, with only warm air blowing through the vents. That evening, I found George on Yelp, saw that he was a close neighbor, and the next morning I reached out for diagnosis and repair. I described our system's symptoms, and he let me know he suspected a capacitor issue. He worked us into his schedule and got us running the same day during the morning within two hours of us discussing the symptoms, which is already going above and beyond. We greatly appreciated this given it was in the middle of a heat wave. He also was willing to educate me when I asked elementary questions about HVAC, which I always appreciate from tradespeople. George's usual prices are a good value, being entirely fair to both parties. We'll absolutely be planning on calling GVK HVAC again for future A/C and heating needs. read more

I was referred to GVK Heating & Air by someone and I am so happy they let me know about them! My neighbor basically said "trust me this company's the best you really don't need to look elsewhere, no one can compare with prices and honesty like them" and I can say now... I 100% agree! This company is a GEM. Literal honesty and integrity in every action and communication the entire time from start to finish. George was kind, clear, and amazing to work with. Would absolutely trust anything said, and can vouch that is company is 100% reliable and knowledgeable (which is a rarity with businesses today!!!) It's such a sigh of relief when you find a good company that isn't going to overcharge you. GVK is definitely a company that does not focus on sales and instead focuses on people AND actually tells you straight up what actually needs to be fixed! (Direct and clear!) I had no stress handling this situation because George approached everything like the unit was his own, and advised us based on what he would do if he owned it and needed to fix things accordingly. He could have easily oversold or overcharged me multiple times, told me I needed to fix things, but he approached it with pure honesty and integrity and the cost was amazing compared to any other company! I was very impressed at George's openness and how he walked us through everything so we truly understood what was going on. I have his number saved in my phone and I know who to call now if my HVAC needs any sort of servicing or tune up! I don't need to look elsewhere. I really hope when others research which air conditioning company to go with, they look into this one and try it out. I have met with several companies and none out there are as honest, knowledgeable, and reliable as this one! I wish I could give six stars on Yelp that's how good this was. I really hope others find this business too! read more

GVK Heating and Air - George was the BEST and walked us through everything!!! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Poway, California

We hired GVK to install a 4 ton variable speed AC unit at our home right at the tail end of summer 2024. We also received quotes at that time from other large companies that are commonly recommended. The quote from GVK was very competitive with the others, and they offered the best labor warranty. Our experience dealing with the owner, George, could not have been better. He listened to what we wanted, gave us honest suggestions on which unit to go with without trying to upsell us on anything (it was my request to go with variable speed over traditional single stage. George only gave us the pros and cons of each type of unit without pushing us in any particular direction), and kept up fantastic communication throughout the whole process. He was also there personally doing the work during the actual install. We were so happy with everything that we gave George a sizeable cash tip in an envelope. He actually called us once he got home and opened the envelope to make sure we meant to give him as much as we did! My impression of George is that he's a very honest person who takes a lot of pride in providing a high quality service. It's been about two years since the installation, and everything has been wonderful. A few weeks ago, we reached out to GVK to perform a routine checkup of the unit. George showed up later that same evening to perform the checkup himself, despite the summer rush. read more

GVK just replaced my 25+ year old central HVAC with brand new heat pump system. Moved indoor equipment from the closet to the attic, installed variable speed heat pump and installed brand new ducking all in 2 days. George is very knowledgeable honest and detail oriented. Being contractor myself I've very impressed with his customer service and work ethic. read more

George and his team are amazing. He is concerned with what's best for his clients as opposed to what's the most profitable for his company. He does not upsell or pressure you into doing work that's not necessary. I had a problem with my HVAC blower motor. He could have easily recommended I replace my system that's over 25 years old. Instead he found a replacement part and did the repair within 24hrs. I absolutely recommend him and his company, you will not be disappointed. We'll definitely be using them in the future for some planned upgrades. read more

I had to replace my 30 year old HVAC system and was looking for reliable technicians. After several home inspections, I was impressed by none other than George's GVK. He fixed our water leak on his first appointment without any charge after working on it for more than an hour. That impressed be to go forward with HVAC replacement without any doubt. From start to finish with many hiccups during the process they were professional. I am glad to get the replacement done by GVK and would recommend to my friends and relatives. read more

GVK and George are great. Very professional quality work. Would 100% recommend. Candice Gleeson read more

Our furnace went out and GVK was able to come out within 24 hours to get us back up and running.

George is great. I am a individual property owner with just a few rental units and have been using GVK for several years. He has done a half a dozen jobs for me and I have had an excellent experience each and every time. He is timely, professional, thorough, and will make sure things are done right. Strong recommendation... read more

George and his team were super kind and helpful! They spent a lot of time and care ensuring our issues with our AC were resolved.

Absolutely the best. I would trust George for any job. (1) He replied fast on a Yelp inquiry. (2) He understood the job and gave a rough estimate. This is what set him apart from everyone else. All the other companies give you useless responses "Call us for a quote" which tells me they either didn't read the description or don't care. I specifically discard responses like that and look for guys like George that READ, UNDERSTOOD, and replied thoughtfully. When someone does that, you know you've got the right guy. Also (3) He was in and out in about 30 minutes. He knew exactly what actions to take and zipped through it like he's done it hundreds of times, before. ...because he probably has. Absolutely no flaws on the work, everything is level and looks good. You'd swear that thermostat was always there. (4) Friendly. He appreciates customers. I can't tell you how many times I've hired a guy who just comes to the site grumpy and tired of customers, but not George. Such a good attitude. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. read more

Highly recommend George! They did a fantastic job on my AC. This is the second house I've had them work on, and they are consistently great. Efficient, fair pricing, and excellent results. 5 stars! read more

What a great company! Our HVAC heater system was short cycling during freezing weather and no other company could confidently determine the source of the problem. Two other companies wanted to install a new system costing thousands of dollars. George repaired it for under $600! It is working beautifully now. George, the owner is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, polite, communicated clearly, was very fair in his pricing, and left the work area perfectly clean. Highly recommend! Thank you George. read more

We used GVK to replace an undersized a/c compressor back in 2022 - great pricing, flawless install, and just wonderful, straight-shooting company. When it stopped cooling this year, I reached out to have George take a look - we already knew we had an ancient furnace/blower that was nearing a need for replacement and old, inefficient ducting, and it turned out, our ancient a/c coil was also leaking refrigerant. I had looked around at furnace pricing already, and I knew we wanted GVK to do that replacement already, so we went ahead and had them replace everything, including all of our old ducts. Another flawless experience. Great pricing and install - the system works great, and our attic actually looks orderly! I cannot recommend GVK highly enough. This is a small, family-owned company that knows their stuff and truly cares about making sure your system is in optimal shape. Thanks, George!! read more

Excellent service by George and his team. Timely follow up appointment and overall excellent customer service. Highly recommend him.

Absolutely fantastic service from George and his team. He came with the attitude 'why fix something that's not broken?' which meant he wanted to FIX what was broken rather than throw out the baby with the bathwater and replace a bunch of things that were not. It took persistence and a few visits but he fixed everything and got the two furnaces in the house "running like new" in his words. Based on my experience I would recommend him to anyone. Hire him. You will not be sorry. read more

This will be our second review of GVK. George and his team did a great job for us back in 2020. We recently had some issues with the AC. George came out to diagnose the problem, and some time later, he returned to make sure everything was working well. We greatly appreciate his follow up to make sure everything was good. Thank you George. read more

Had a very good experience with GVK. Here's why I chose them: - honest and professional work - been in business for over 10 years - very knowledgeable about air conditioning - competitive prices - reliable and trustworthy - easy to work with and flexible - best warranty I've seen in labor I had them install 2 ACs in one home and another 4 ACs on others. Would highly recommend them and use them again. read more

George was quick to respond to my service request and was able to provide an appointment right away. He was kind, courteous and most of all HONEST with his assessment of the heater and AC, which didn't need repair when we thought it did because the previous person that looked at it turned everything off. The system is old so as soon as it actually breaks down we will not hesitate to call George and his company!!!! I highly recommend this company! Look no further, call George! read more

George came to take a look at my AC after I had a shock earlier with a company telling me I needed a new coil and condenser at $5,000. He was very professional and even removed his shoes so he didn't track anything into the house. He got to work, found a clogged filter, clogged pipe, a hose needing a clamp. Just some general maintenance. He checked the outside unit which was fine. Made it out the door for $165! In fact, I dont think I would let anyone but George work on my AC ever again. The whole time he is working he educates you and explains what you can do to fix things yourself. Reasonably priced, honest, such a breath of fresh air. He also offers a military discount! Thank you!! read more

GVK Heating and Air - Checking the AC - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Poway, California

Absolute lifesaver. Our A/C unit went out during the heat wave and other highly rated companies were booked out too far in advance. George made time to come out much sooner and it's lucky he did- there was a big block of ice formed in the furnace area of the A/C and it just started leaking into the wood and dry wall. Luckily George was able to remove it before any serious damage occurred and his team came by a few days later to install the new unit. He gave me different choices and didn't try to upsell me. I also got a good deal. Hopefully there won't be any more HVAC problems but I will be calling him if needed. Super friendly and communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend. read more

George is very honest & expert HVAC Tech. He charge only $440.00 for Repair mini window split AC. another famous company charge $4,650.00 for service, for visit only without service $225.00 or install New AC start $10K. He is very honest to customer. He said that the unit still good, only need tighten the nut & replace hose. Another famous company forced me to replace with new AC unit which price min $10K for unknow brand. They said that the unit system didn't have parts for replacement. I'll use him for my rental property. high recommended to use honest HVAC Tech. read more

George was fantastic to work with - good communication, responsive to texts and emails. He was knowledgeable about what he does and eager to teach. I felt no pressure from him at all and he actually encouraged getting more bids. He was personable, professional and really conveyed kindness. He serviced my air conditioner units - recharged and fixed some broken PVC pipe. He shared all the testing results and I am confident I'm ready for summer. Highly recommended! read more

I chose this company for a new mini-split installation. They were available for a consult immediately, and price matched down to beat my lowest offer. They got the work done in a half-day the very next day. The unit is working flawlessly in my wife's home office. We are both very happy. They install AC Pro units (a Lennox subsidiary I've learned) and it is great so far. I will update if any issues. They did offer to install a Daikin if I wanted to, but because of parts replacement and supply chain issues with non-local companies, we went with AC Pro. read more

My 3rd time working with GVK. This time, replacement of my mom's 35+ year old furnace and thermostat, plus brand new AC. Once again, fast and competitive rates and excellent service! I really appreciate the package discount, plus additional discount for not using credit card. The team is respectful, professional, showed me all the work when completed, and left work areas top top clean. System is running great. Very very pleased. read more

They installed a new heater/AC unit about three years ago. Very responsive and they always provided with answers to my questions.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. I submitted my request for a quote on Yelp and within 2 mins I got a response back. I was able to schedule an evaluation within a day. I was given a variety of dates and times that would work for me. George is incredibly friendly and respectful. No one has ever offered to remove their shoes before entering our home. I had floor protectors down but he was so kind to avoid walking on our carpet with his shoes. He always asked permission to access different items. He showed me exactly what was wrong and where. He didn't hide anything. He was very honest with us and gave us a great estimate same day and an invoice right away via text. Everything went so smooth! The replacement work is going to cost us and it's a very fair estimate. We will definitely have George come back to install the replacement of our systems for sure. Excellent service! Highly recommend! read more

we were so totally satisfied with all the work George did for us, he is an expert with heating and a/c....so knowledgeable...so considerate...on time... and very fair in his pricing...he was there for any question or input...can so very highly recommend him. George Krivoshey 619-277-6279 read more

I couldn't be happier with the service from GVK Heating and Air! I needed to replace my air conditioner and from start to finish, George demonstrated incredible professionalism and reliability and was friendly and approachable. Before the installation, he took time to explain what he was gong to do and after the installation he told me how the unit worked in-depth, which was incredibly helpful. He was transparent with pricing and offered extremely reasonable rates. It was very clear that it was important to him that his service is high quality. That can sometimes get lost with bigger companies. I feel I can trust him not only with installation but also with future maintenance. It's so refreshing to work with a someone who truly cares about his customers. Highly recommended! read more

Punctual, good communication, excellent value! Had George come by for an annual furnace and A/C PM and he exceeded my expectations.

Highly recommend this company. They were referred to us by our friends who were very pleased with their service. We're so happy we used them. My Brother-in-law does heating and air on the east coast. I sent him all my estimates. He told me to go with GVK, they had the best price and equipment. I really liked George, very informative, explained everything he was doing. They are very clean and professional and finish work in a timely manner. I will refer this company to all my friends. Thanks again George! Patti S. read more

He came he saw and he fixed my issue. Same day fix, very efficient, very knowledgeable. Good dude

I had my AC stop working this summer during a heat wave. I first had another AC company come out and they quoted me multiple thousands in costs to repair and address issues. I didn't trust the feedback from the first company so I reached out to GVK to get a second opinion. George was responsive and fixed my issue in one quick visit for a few hundred $ rather than thousands. He also gave me an honest assessment of the quote I had previously received and some guidance on future maintenance. It has been two months since his visit and everything is working as it should. Although it was just one repair,. I would recommend George and I will use him again when I have an AC/Heating issue. He seemed trustworthy and committed to doing a good job and ensuring I was satisfied with his work. read more

I've been a customer of GVK Heating and air conditioning for many years. George is honest, dependable and very knowledgeable of our air conditioners. He is the only one I call whenever we have an issue with our Ac's. We had a furnace issue and George fixed it. I highly recommend George and GVK company! read more

George and his team are very professional! They know their trade extremely well. He was able to help troubleshoot our AC problem right away and fix it on the same visit. The "other company" actually recommended that I go find an electrician to repair the electrical panel... I am so glad that we found George, and he was able to fit us in his busy schedule. Thank you so much! read more

We couldn't be happier with GVK Heating & Air. They installed a new heater and A/C in our 68-year-old home. They were prompt, conscientious and courteous. The price was fair, and there was no extra cost when we asked them to come back out and re-route the electrical for cosmetic reasons. Moreover, after the condenser had been installed on the garage roof it was less than aesthetic from the street. Again at no extra cost, GVK built the lattice enclosure shown in the caption, and painted it to match the house. We could not be more pleased with the service we received from GVK, (George Krivoshey, owner). read more

We had concerns about loud noises from the compressor of our aging AC unit and called GVK. George was able to come out the same morning and gave the system a thorough check. The verdict ended up being that, though the system is old, it is still in a usable state and no repairs needed. No charge. Thanks a lot for your help. We will certainly use GVK when the time comes to install a replacement. read more
