From the initial consultation through installation, Menooa and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They also enlarged one of my return air vents to meet the higher airflow needs of the new HVAC system. The work required widening the opening in the ceiling and installing a new return grille. The crew handled it neatly and professionally. When they finished, it looked like new. The new system is working great, airflow is noticeably improved, and the entire project was completed fast and as promised. It's not often that a major home improvement project goes this smoothly. I would recommend So Cal Air to anyone looking for HVAC installation or replacement.

I called Cold Cloud Mechanical today based on their excellent Yelp rating for two issues: a…read moresuspected freon leak in my living room mini split, and water leaking from my son's bedroom unit after about 20 minutes of use. Technician Arsen handled the bedroom unit well. He found the drain hose was clogged and mounted too low, cleaned it out, adjusted the mounting height, and confirmed it drained properly over a 2-hour test. The living room unit is where I'm disappointed. A technician from my home warranty company had already confirmed the unit, less than a year old, was completely empty of freon. Arsen couldn't initially find the leak and charged me to vacuum and recharge the system, with no warranty since the source was unconfirmed. During that process, he found the actual leak in a copper line under the house. Once identified, he refused to go into the crawl space to fix it and said no one else at the company could either. That doesn't add up: just months ago, five workers from another company spent a full week under the house for a seismic retrofit, moving freely through the entire crawl space without issue, including the area where this leak is now located. I offered to pay extra for him or anyone else to complete the repair and was still turned down. Instead, he recommended replacing the entire unit for $5,000, which doesn't make sense for a nearly-new system with one identified leak point. I'm now out the cost of a recharge that didn't fix anything and came with no warranty, and I still have to find another company willing to go under the house and finish the repair Arsen already diagnosed. I appreciate the diagnostic work, but a company that installs mini splits should have someone who can access a crawl space to tighten a fitting. Choosing an upsell over a specific, identified fix is why I can't rate this higher. Update: The owner, Alex B., responded to this review quickly and personally came out to fix the leak. He accessed the crawl space without any issue, repaired the fitting in a few minutes, vacuumed and recharged the system, and tested it to confirm stable freon levels and cold air output. It's a straightforward fix, which makes it more frustrating it wasn't handled this way from the start, but I appreciate the owner stepping in directly to make it right. Updating to 5 stars for the responsiveness and quality of the resolution.

I guess it's normal to…read moremark up prices but when you know how much these AC parts cost the prices feel kind of crazy. Ended up paying $1,300 to replace a transformer, capacitor and fuse and to hose the outside unit down with water. Also wanted to charge almost $500 to "chemical wash" the unit, which is something I know you can do yourself pretty easily. I know most places charge the same but it all feels so much like a scam when these parts are all no more than $40-$50 each max. When booking I also go left on read when messaging via Yelp and had to call 2 hours later for them to actually book and send a confirmation. Then they said the tech would text 30 minutes before arrival and they did not, and when I told them I was expecting a text heads up they said they "didn't receive these instructions".

Between…read moregetting charged $3,000 every few months for, "topping off freon" (note: my system was installed new in 2018, so I'm not even sure if freon was the refrigerant the system needed), to proposing a $20k install of a new unit while mind was under warranty (twice), to claiming that my warranty was invalid until I set up an email thread with my HVAC company and my repair team to prove that my system was under warranty, to finally claiming that the local supply shop was "out of parts" for 6 months straight (I eventually called the shop, and they confirmed that they haven't been able to get a response from the repair team.). LONG STORY SHORT, I've been through HVAC hell, and finally decided to go with a new, local company with stellar reviews that recognized my system's warranty. Mario came to inspect the system, identified the repairs that needed to be made, was in and out within 2 hours only a day after I requested service, and not even $500 later I'm enjoying a cool, air-conditioned home. Extra points for not trying to upsell me on an entirely new system (lol - happened to me twice since buying my home, neighbors actually warned me about non-local HVAC companies), AND I can safely say that when I DO eventually need a new HVAC system, I'll be going with Manny's. To the team: You are doing things right. Between your expedient responses (even when my only free time is in the evenings), your honest, transparent communication, the fact that your repair man noticed my slippers and threw on booties before coming into the house, and your prices all denote S-Tier service. I couldn't be more pleased, and you've earned a new customer for life. I will be telling all of my neighbors about your company - truly a breath of *fresh air*

Although I have used Manny's several times, I continue to be amazed at the truly superb service…read moreprovided by his highly trained technicians. In this regard, Jesus came out to look at our AC system yesterday, which has been working only intermittently. Following a very thorough diagnostic assessment of the overall unit, Jesus suggested that we hold off installing any new parts at this time, as the system is somewhat old and doesn't provide any specifics concerning what needs to be replaced. Indeed, I appreciated Jesus's honest and straightforward assessment, as opposed to relying on guesswork to resolve the problem. At this point, I expect that we will likely be replacing our aging unit sometime this year....and, without a doubt, Manny's will be the company I call to do the job. Along with providing prompt and excellent service, the three technicians I've met from his company have all been very professional, courteous, and personable. Thus, for anyone in need of AC service, Manny's should definitely be the first business to call.

Professional Contractor here:…read more There are two types of contractors out there, service/handyman contractors and new construction contractors. I want to believe these guys are good at new installs, but they were horrible at diagnosing a problem. I have a problem with my fan coil unit leaking water and shutting off. Leaving me with zero air. I told him what I believe is wrong with the Fan coil unit and other items such as possibly low 410A freon. He quickly jump on that and said " you must have low Freon and that is your problem" without addressing anything else. He then begins to tell me it's $195 per pound for Freon and $2500 to replace all my line sets. I requested he show me the readings and without surprise everything was at normal operating levels and no leak. He then said he had to call a different company to come out and diagnose the problem and they would come back another time. The line set and Freon was not the problem and they were trying to make a quick $800 and overload my system. This would result in an overloaded system and freeze up my unit. Moral of the story, I would not trust the integrity of this company. If you don't know what you are doing just be honest and say " I don't know what's wrong, I can't help you."
