Old school. Respectful. Handy. Fred has visited twice for separate HVAC issues, heat and AC. Shows up, takes shoes off before coming in, has no issues showing you specifically what the technical issue is so you can understand it in layman's terms. Guy may be a little long in the tooth but he can crawl into the tiniest of openings in attics or basements to get to the source. Keeps his word and doesn't try and "hard sell". read more

I live in an apartment building and the property owners chose this business to fix my AC. They were the kindest people (even offered to take his shoes off before coming inside!) and were so efficient. My AC was up and running within 30 minutes. While I did not have a choice in hiring this team, I'm glad that my building's owner did. read more

First of all, Fred the owner is a really really nice guy. Had a good conversation with him. He was called since my AHS warranty contracts with him. But the issue was with my AC never got resolved. I specifically told him it was the wires but nope, didn't listen. And I had to pay for the freon for around $800. But still, I hoped that the issue was fixed. Now I have to call someone else since my AC still hasn't worked. read more

Nick Tech is AMAZING!!!! They were contacted by my home warranty company to FIX what South Placer Heating and Air messed up. Nick Tech was here just a few minutes and my AC has been blowing cold all summer longer and I couldn't be more grateful for the quick response and call to action. Definitely make sure you let your home warranty company you want Nick Tech and DO NOT let them assign you South Placer Heating and Air read more

Awesome service and quick resolution....Fred was great! American Home Shield assigned us South Placer Heating and Air, their tech was assigned 3 days later, didn't call ahead, was rude and condescending to my girlfriend, and left saying he couldn't find any trouble. I called AHS and demanded to have another vendor assigned, and they assigned Nick Tech. I received a call the next morning, and Fred accommodated our urgent need into his busy schedule...with politeness and professionalism....and got our AC fixed quickly! Thank you for finally giving us a good home warranty experience, and for your excellent customer service. read more

Called him on 4/30 and he told me he could come out on 5/5 for routine maintenance on my AC unit. He told me to text him the time and my address. Never replied to my text and never showed up. Tried calling again and did not get an answer. I'll be going elsewhere. read more

Not a customer, but still had a bad experience with them. My son is handicapped and we parked in a handicap spot at Costco. When we returned to our car, they parked in the "no parking" zone next to our vehicle So close to us that we couldn't open those doors. Fortunately, my son is not wheelchair bound and we have no need for a ramp, but there are plenty of people who are and their inconsideration for the disabled could cause someone major issues. Their business will never be welcomed into our home. read more

I truly can't say enough good things I have experienced with this company . I had stellar service at 100% , and a very satisfied customer! The owner actually takes the time to show ME of all people how to avoid the chances of him coming back again with a tutorial of keeping my AC unit clean and free of debris with my garden hose! I'm sorry to say that I've not had that happen before! Now I'm the pro and tell my husband that I know how! We had the pleasure of having a second service request for our furnace recently, and I received fast,reliable, and exceptional service once again! Thank you Nick Tech, for your honest and genuine business practices! Truly hard to find by in this day of age! Oh and my AC blows harder now with the furnace replacement! Bonus!!! read more

Honest and got the job done right - after two earlier contractors failed us. For example, South Placer Heating & Air really steered us wrong, "fixing" and charging us for stuff that did not fix the primary, critical issue of a leaking (!) AC unit, that was putting our home in danger of serious water damage. I pressed our Home Warranty company, American Home Shield, to provide a more reputable option and was fortunate to have Nick Tech assigned. You can feel confident in your decision to go with them. read more

I had to withdraw 5 star rating due to I had Hvac service done this year, this time I went with a different Hvac company because I noticed after Fred came and replaced compressor, the entire summer last year unit would never sufficiently cool down home in heat of day nor turn off just kept running. So I called love and care Hvac and they signed off on work. I explained to them the same as written above and gave top rating, but still unit kept running then of course winter came and unit off till now! and when I had service champions come do summer tune up they immediately located the issue after their diagnostics. Turns out Fred did not fill the unit up correctly with freon. I am sure he did that to cut corners due to AHS sent him to do the work. I even gave fred 150 dollars for the freon he did put in!( under the table). Seems like AHS uses unethical companies to do the work for their clients who have their Home Warranty Plan. I will switch to Select asap. I reported to AHS, that I had to spend another 345 in freon which should have been done correctly with Fred/ Nick tech Hvac . The thing is this Fred U placed my new compressor in danger by under filling it. You know that would cause unit to work harder! but that was not important, the customer. AHS I lost faith in your insurance coverage due to the people you contract with. I will be switching to Select Home warranty asap! Trust is everything!!!!!! read more

Fred does a good job. Old school style dude with a van but knows whats going on. Diagnosed a leak quickly added the refrigerant and was on his way. Came back a couple days later to add easy seal. It helps to double confirm with him and remind him the day of. But all and all a good experience. read more

A/C went down on Sunday night and Monday morning, Fred's company Nick Tech was assigned by American Home Shield. He came out Tuesday (earlier than expected) and quickly diagnosed the faulty fan motor. Although he wasn't sure at the time how long to get the new motor, he surprised me 24 hours later by showing up after a full day's work to get my A/C working again. Hallelujah! Experienced, knowledgable (mech and elec engineering degrees) and trustworthy. I have no hesitation recommending Nick Tech. Fred cares. That's what it comes down to. read more

Fred was the 2nd company assigned to my AC problem by AHS. The first company told me I needed a new AC. Fred was professional and very informative in regards to the problems occurring with my AC. He added some cooling agent and went through some other trouble shooting issues in my attic. My AC is running at 100%. I recommend Fred and Nick Tech for anyone having issues or need yearly maintenance on their AC. Thanks again Fred read more

Like other reviews, American Home Shield assigned us South Placer Heating and Air first. My ( tenant's ) heater went out during a cold snap, on a Sunday morning! Having a three week old baby, I needed to get them their heater fixed FAST. The AHS expedited time frame for a response is 4 hours (btw), and I independently called SPH&A for those 4 hours!! (Their website says they are a 24-7 company - Never got a hold of anyone. ) Finally got AHS to change companies and got a hold of Nick Tech. Fred told us he'd be there Monday afternoon by 3, which was very reasonable, it already being Sunday at 4 p.m. He got there Monday MORNING! He then ordered the needed parts, fixed it on Wednesday. There is no way I'm using anyone else ever! Thank you Fred! read more

My AC went down on Saturday night and got in touch with American Home Shield and they sent me to Placer Heating and Air, but they couldn't be here until Tuesday of next week. So back to AHS and they sent Nick Tech. They were coming tomorrow between 2:00 - 4:00 and that was fine. However, he called and was just 2 streets over and came by and fixed the AC. He was awesome and I highly recommend this company. read more

Repeat customers here! Fred is timely, honest, hard working and knowledgeable. Prices are far more reasonable than several other companies that tried to price gouge us numerous times! He does his best to repair over replace when possible. read more

Absolutely great service, efficient fast and priced fairly to repair my air conditioning. Highly recommend.

Fred is my favorite A/C and Heating guy. He has been to my house for various reasons over the past 4 years. He knows his stuff. Fred has saved me thousand of dollars by being honest and affordable. In turn I have referred him to many many of my friends and family. Thanks Fred!! read more

Fred showed up on time. Installed the light without any issues. He was friendly and cleaned up afterwards. A+ in my book. Hard to find quality work these days. Thanks again Fred. read more

Super impressed with this company and Fred! After a nightmare experience with Hoyt Mechanical yesterday, it was a huge relief to be greeted by a friendly and professional tech! He took the time to explain the problem and fixed it super fast without needing any parts, as I had previously been told by the other company that we needed a new circuit board. Fred was awesome and just a nice, friendly and honest guy! Highly recommend this company!! read more

Wonderful! After dealing with 2 other companies Nick Tech was like a breath of fresh air! Came and diagnosed the problem and as soon as the home warranty company approved everything he was back out and installed our new unit. Everything works great! Thank you! read more

American Home Shield assigned Nick Tech to me for my heating/ac duct problems. He called me promptly and told me that he hadn't had a vacation in 10 years and also had a family thing that he wanted to go to and asked if I would wait about 2 weeks for him to get back. He said that he would call me on Nov. 13th and that I would be the first customer that he would see on the 14th. He sounded sincere so after talking with my wife, we decided to give him the necessary time and wait for him to get back. Well, today is November 18th and still NO CALL. I called AHS to advise them of the problem. While I was on the phone, the customer service rep called Nick Tech and 'lo and behold' he was in town and said that he would come out today at 3:00. Sorry Nick Tech. You have been cancelled. Your credibility is shot and I would not trust you to come into my home (if you showed up). read more

Great work. Woke up to a broken heater and called our home warranty company for service. Nick called right away (a Saturday) and made an appointment for 30 mins later. Seriously? Why can't all companies respond like this. He checked out the system and fixed the issues within an hour. So happy- professional, friendly, prompt, and honest. Everything I could ask from a business. read more

Highly reccomend this company. Fred was immediately available to answer my call and fit me and my broken HVAC into his busy schedule. Repaired it on Friday evening at 8:00 pm after a full day of work. I had asked him to replace my thermostat outside of the Home Warranty repair work, which he easily obliged. The unit is working better than ever before and couldn't be more pleased with his professional service. Will defintely use him for any future HVAC needs. read more

OMG! Nick Tech will get all my business...cannot say enough good things. Another company was assigned the work order by my American Home Shield. They came to diagnose, said I was 3 pounds low on Freon, next guy comes out without leak testing the system and charged it with 2 pounds Freon. I kept saying, "It's still blowing hot air" they assured me it was fixed. I called AHS again, they called the first company "Allright Mechanical" they declined the work order and opened the door for Nick Tech to be assigned for free. Fred A. called me an hour later, made an appointment for Monday, he ended up calling me on Saturday to tell me they had time to come look at it that day. They quickly found the system had NO Freon in it, it was all over my roof. They said they would send the diagnosis to AHS and get authorization to repair. I didn't hear from AHS and tried to call them on my way home from work, when I got home Fred from Nick Tech was on my roof getting the job done! Needless to say I now have AC. He also noticed a connect wire was fried and very loose, he repaired that too! BONUS: I didn't have to pay for the Freon or repair because it was a "Second Opinion" , but if I had to pay Nick Tech for the Freon they only charge $30.00 per pound. I will not be renewing my Home Warranty with AHS. But I will call Nick Tech for any future Electrical, Mechanical, Heating and Cooling!!!! read more
