The online request process was straightforward and they reached out the same day to schedule a visit. I received a text when Daniel was on his way and he arrived promptly at the start of the scheduled window. Daniel really took the time to listen to what I was looking for. After checking out the house, he recommended the right mini split heat pump size, the best placement options, and suggested a few upgrades to improve efficiency and save energy. He explained everything clearly and answered all my questions without hesitation. The itemized quote was detailed and easy to understand. It included everything from the heat pump, installation (materials and electrical), attic insulation, to even a Wi-Fi adaptor so I could control the system through an app. June 6th installation was quick and smooth, and everything worked perfectly right away. The condenser unit location was inconspicuous and protected from the elements with adequate airflow access. They helped me set up the app and even built an attic enclosure over the drop down stairs. Pricing felt fair and reasonable, especially for the quality of work they delivered. During the summer peak when it was 110+ outside, I was able to keep my garage at whatever temperature I wanted, which makes it usable year round and is a game changer in Phoenix. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and communicated really well throughout the whole process. I'd definitely recommend Preferred Air to anyone looking for an honest, skilled, and fairly priced HVAC company. I'll be using them again for any future HVAC needs. read more

Preferred Air - Mitsubishi Air Handler HX Series Mini Split Heat pump 24,000 BTU/H (2 ton) - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The owner of this business started sending me unwanted correspondence on Facebook Messenger. I explained to him that I did not appreciate that type of intrusive advertising. He went on to tell me how he's booked out for 3 weeks, and he kept sending me more and more unwanted messages. He was a condescending prick the entire time I was asking him to leave me alone. He was extremely unprofessional, which leads me to believe that he's probably extremely untrustworthy. I would not allow him into my home to perform any type of service. read more

Daniel ghosted me. I don't know if he only works with Hispanics (was referred by a Hispanic), which I am not. He came out and appeared to be very knowledgeable and talked for quite a while about how to make our system better. He said he had about $900 worth of duct work to recommend and he educated us on the new inverter technology. We told him to give us the price for an inverter unit and ductwork. His price for the unit was $4000 more than the company we went with (he sells American Standard, we got a Trane for less), and his ductwork price was $1800. He also said he wasn't sure if the unit he wanted to sell us was eligible for the federal rebate. He asked that we wait a day for him to find out. We said OK and that was the last we heard from him. While waiting for the answer on the rebate I texted him a question about the system. He never replied to that either. read more

Ty and the crew at Preferred Air did an excellent job making improvements to a poorly performing duct system installed by another contractor. All of my concerns were addressed. The price was absolutely fair. Communication from everyone at Preferred Air was thorough and professional. Do not hesitate to reach out to this firm. If you are concerned about the trip charge -- don't be, it is well worth it. Their rate is highly competitive and of the several HVAC companies I've worked with in the area, nobody was as thorough with diagnosing the problem and coming up with pragmatic, data-based solutions. You may be able to find another firm who can come out for free, shoot out some ideas, and give you a low quote -- but I wouldn't trust that they are going to do the job right the first time or that they won't end up adding onto your invoice in order to complete the job. Preferred Air did excellent work, they did it right the first time, and they left the site immaculate. I'm very impressed with this firm and would highly recommend them. read more

We needed a new register/vent installed in a room in our house. They came and gave us an estimate within 24 hours of me reaching out and they got the work done a couple of days later. They did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Great customer service and great work! read more

We had a service set up for between 10am and noon. One of the "owners" arrived at 9:21, when I was leaving for work and my husband was on a presentation work call (until about 10, go figure) and instead of offering to wait or come back later he simply left. He wanted to "reschedule" requiring another day home from work when he can't make the time HE scheduled. Why bother scheduling a time if you're 1. not going to adhere to it 2. behave like a child when someone tells you only the arranged times will work. (We could not accommodate 45 mins earlier this day. And, arranged to be available during the scheduled time.) Instead of offering to wait or come back later during the planned window, he simply left stating he had a busy day. He wanted to "reschedule" requiring another day home from work when he can't make the time HE scheduled. The owner responded to my g review with lies--beware. We quickly contacted SRP and found another provider who knows how to show up at the appointed times and is respectful that all of us have busy schedules. I've never encountered someone who felt so entitled to our work time and was dismissive of a potential customer. read more

Replaced a heatpump with a new bosch 20 seer and helped correct deficiencies in previous install. Great to work with and very helpful, on-time, transparent and everything was well done. Went above and beyond installing new ecobee thermostats and improving drain system from attic. Great price and great people, thanks again! read more

Called for last minute questions/help with a home I am in the process of purchasing and Daniel was such an HUGE help with all my questions. I will definitely reach out to them for future needs. read more

Preferred Air installed a new HVAC system in my house, a Bosch high-efficiency heat pump. I am very happy with it, and would recommend Preferred Air without hesitation. Their service was very professional and at a competitive price. I had several HVAC contractors give me proposals to replace my air conditioning system, a Carrier system that was almost 20 years old. Preferred Air was the one that made me most comfortable that their solution met my needs and my budget. Daniel Hernandez was an excellent project coordinator. He went through my attic in great detail and listened to what I wanted for energy efficiency and cost. He made some suggestions, like replacing some of the ductwork with larger diameter ducts, to improve the comfort and noise of my existing AC system. I did not feel like he was trying to sell me a package, but rather that he was trying to offer me solutions that worked for my needs. The attention to detail and willingness to listen to the customer (me) were aspects that set Preferred Air's service apart from others. Daniel was able to schedule work within a few weeks, and his crew did a great job to install the Bosch system, with a minimal impact to my family. The new system is very quiet --- previously it was not easy for someone to hear what I was saying when the air conditioning was on, unless I spoke up loudly or stood nearby, because of the sound of the air flowing through the ducts. Now the AC is quiet. I am looking forward to see how much I will be saving in energy costs this summer! A big THANK YOU to the Preferred Air team!!! read more

TOTAL RIP OFF. Charged me $190 before arrival, I should have know better based on them charging me before they even showed up. Then a repair that should have been and additional $30-100 (fuses and capacitor) was quoted as an additional $330. Total rip-off. $520 to replace fuses and a capacitor is simply taking advantage of people! read more

I would definitely recommend working with Preferred Air. As a smaller company, the team at Preferred Air offers the personal service and support you want when making a large investment like a new AC. At the same time, they offer the organization and efficiency of a larger company. They were always on time and always professional. They worked with me to install a Bosch variable speed package AC (highly recommend!) and to upgrade some of my ductwork to improve airflow through the system. I really appreciated working with their rep, Ty, to understand what my options were and to find a solution that met my needs. They also provided a smooth installation experience and went above and beyond to troubleshoot a few unexpected issues. I'll be recommending Preferred Air to my family and friends. read more

This is my second review of Preferred Air! I still think they rock! My AC died! Time for a new one. They gave us a recommendation for a unit they said the owner had installed at his own home which was thousands less than other units. It was two days before they could install, however they gave us two free loaner window units which they came and set up for us in the meantime. When they came out for the install, we needed a small drywall repair which was anticipated and they had the repairman out the same day. They followed up the next day and one week later they came to the house for a follow up visit to ensure we were up and running optimally. This company was so impressive all their team members are awesome and helpful. Many years ago with my last AC install, the company that will remain nameless left a huge drywall hole and didn't patch it or have a recommendation for us. We also had issues with their company extended warranty which they stopped servicing. They sucked! Post sale support was terrible! So for a complete soup to nuts solution with top notch post sale service go to Preferred Air. You will be happy you did! read more

Most amazing air conditioning company! We've used them twice, and they have been amazing each time. Tonight our air conditioner went out when it was 110 degrees outside, I'm pregnant and cranky, and I have a one year old who is too hot to sleep. We called them and they were here in about an hour. It was fixed quickly and for an extremely reasonable price! These guys are fast, honest, and know what they're doing. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Preferred has not once let me down and I have used them for almost 4 years. We have done a full 5-ton rooftop replacement unit with them, and the workmanship was impeccable adn they did it during a heat wave. Took care of all permiting with the crane during 115 degree summer. If your AC goes out they will stop by and get you portable units if they can to make sure you are safe. Daniel and his crew are nothing short of professional and honest, they will help outline all options for units for you and there is nothing but informed pros/cons to meet your price point. Later on I had them do the mini-split in our master bedroom which has been the greatest investment we have ever made. They are prompt with scheduling, service calls and are honest. Just today I reached out to them to see if we could get a call to look at our mini-split. Daniel arrived the same day, diagnosed the problem, and was extremely thorough. I have gone with preferred every time, you get what you pay for and its quality and a forthrightness that will always keep a company like this busy. read more

Excellent and trustworthy service. I will definitely be using this company for all my air conditioning needs. Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Quoted me $625 for labor only to replace an in warranty single speed condenser fan motor avoid like the plague.

Dont waste your time. Company owner gets mad and says he will part ways if you shop for otehr AC companies other than his. The true colors came out when we found a different company and he later asked were we going with his company. Be ware and not use this company... read more

They responded fast and came to my house on the same day I requested service on a Saturday. They didn't charge me a trip charge or extra for a Saturday call and they did an excellent job. They send you photos of their work and allow you to pay via an app. Great service. read more

Daniel was awesome! He was able to come out the next day and was able to solve our AC leak quickly and affordably. Also, unlike many AC companies I have used before, I believe Daniel was honest and gave his best price! Also, he was very patient and answered all my moms questions, and she had a lot of them.I will definitely be using Preferred Air Again! read more

Buying a air-conditioner is very scary! I did my homework! I had eight air condition companies at my house. Interviewing, pricing and asking lots of questions. Preferred air , Daniel, was who I went with. Very happy with my decision! Showed up on time, took pictures of their work, list of everything they were going to do and back to check their work. They were recommended by a friend and I highly recommend them to my family and friends. Five stars from me!! read more

We called 3 companies to come out and interview. Two of the companies wanted to charge us anywhere from $6,000 to $11,000 for unneeded work. I really liked Preferred Air and their honesty. They explained what we really needed to have done to our ducts. The other companies were twice to three times more than Preferred Air. They were really knowledgeable and worked fast. I would recommend them to any of my relatives, neighbors and whomever is reading this recommendation. read more

I called to set up an appointment when I returned home and discovered my heat wasn't working. Preferred Air came out quickly and did a great job explaining and answering my questions. It turned out it was an issue with the thermostat. Daniel was awesome and incredibly trustworthy. So happy with the service! read more

A real top-notch business -- intelligent, reliable, honest, fair, tons of integrity. I highly recommend. I chose Preferred Air among three A/C contractors because I was impressed with owner Daniel Hernandez's demonstrated knowledge, clear communication, low-pressure approach, competitive pricing (2nd lowest), and his honesty in scoping a project that was less complex (and costly) than I initially thought. Preferred Air replaced a 2-ton unit, repaired ductwork, added a new return, and replaced my water heater. They completed the project ahead of schedule, and they were honest about not needing to complete a portion of the invoice, reducing my cost by about $400. I liked the workflow app/software they used for billing and invoicing. Lastly, I thought they were to blame for a broken faucet in a bathroom. I contacted Daniel the day before Thanksgiving. He had two guys arrive at my house Thanksgiving morning to see if they could repair it. Once I spoke to them, I realized it wasn't their fault. Talk about commitment to service! read more

This is the third time I've used these guys for 2 years.! they are the greatest, the most efficient, the best of all. I have Daniel come out each time. Due to Covid, I have wanted to hug this guy, but he knows how he's helped us out. Being seniors that we are, they don't gouge you like other have tried to. They work with you. I fully recommend this company. read more

I cannot recommend Preferred Air highly enough. My husband, newborn and I just moved into a new house and thought (perhaps foolishly) that we wanted to raise the ductwork in the kitchen, living room and hallway before we settled in. I looked on Yelp and Google and had a couple of companies come in to do an estimate. Daniel (from Preferred Air) was kind, personable and upbeat. And had a great price. Personably, he was my first choice immediately. Although he recommended that we remove all our old insulation, we thought that was cost-prohibitive and so declined. Because of the mess it would make to do the demo first (even thought that would have been the easiest for them), Daniel told us they would put all the new ducts in before we ripped out the ceiling and then come back and take all the old duct work when we were done with the demolition (that was originally supposed to be done the same day per the quote) so that the home would be cleaner for our baby. They crawled through feet of insulation in an Arizona summer to complete the work. THEN when we started the demolition we realized that he was right and we really needed to remove the insulation (let's remember this is not a review of our competency as DIYers ;) we called them back. He was responsive and made a few calls to change up his schedule so they could come in just two days later and get it all taken out for us. They were here at 6:30am and worked a full day to complete it. Kind, thoughtful and hard working with a very messy job. I've told Daniel I would buy a vertical plot in San Francisco from him at this point; he was so very right about what we needed done. We are thrilled with the thought they put into our new ductwork - they laid it out much better than the old, put in an extra return and thought about the positioning of the vents carefully, which was hard because our furniture was not yet positioned so they were constantly asking about the usage of each room. Honestly, the only negative we had was that some of the sheetrock near a return air vent got broken and needs to be repaired. But the house is old and the sheetrock is not attached frequently enough to the rafters, so that might have been entirely an issue with our house that would be hard to avoid when cutting a hole in bad sheetrock. I couldn't tell you for sure. However, back to what we love about them. Additionally, they gave me a recommendation for a sheetrocker whom we love and he, in turn, recommended an amazing electrician. To us the community of craftsmen around them speaks highly of their work. Highly, highly recommend this company. If I ever have another job up their alley, I would hire them again in an instant. read more

Daniel @ Preferred Air was recommended to us by local friends. We have two units on the house, one which needed complete replacement, as well as servicing the other one. We had 5-6 estimates from many other places but everyone wanted to sell us Trane units, and pricing was all about the same but really high in the $6500 range for replacement unit and service on existing. Daniel came out, asked a TON of questions, did a very thorough investigation of both units and gave us many options we could pick from based on price and performance. All in, we spent about $1500 less than we would have with some of the more well known or "big guys" and the service was 150% amazing. The workmanship this company does is top notch, the photograph everything when they're done, and they stand behind all the work they do. We have a very "organically grown" flat-roof house, with quite a few odd things, but Daniel and team did a great job of fixing existing deficiencies and did a really nice job on the new install on the roof. Can't say enough good things about this company, call them! read more

Very fast in responding through yelp and arrived quickly! AC broke overnight and Preferred Air came out on a Sunday morning and had it back up and running within an hour. Daniel was extremely polite and always made me aware of cost before doing any repairs. Prices were super competitive and Daniel was extremely honest. Will definitely use again especially when I need to replace the whole unit. Also appreciated that Preferred Air was all electronic and no paper garbage. Thank you! read more

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I came home at 6pm and found that the A/C was not working, fan was just blowing out hot air. Requested quotes for help and Preferred Air was quick to respond. They were able to send Daniel over for diagnostic. He arrived about an hour later, discovered the issue, fixed it, put everything back together and we had cold area blowing again before 8:30pm! A God-sent! THANK YOU! read more

We highly recommend Preferred Air! We recently purchased a 25-year-old home in Goodyear. The home inspector said that the air conditioner needed a tune-up so we had two companies come out. Fernando of Preferred Air was recommended by a neighbor. He did a thorough job tuning it up as best he could yet didn't try to sell us a new system (like the other company did). He suggested that we might need to replace it within the year, however. His professionalism and hard work convinced us that we should go ahead and replace it before summer began. The quoted price was better than we expected for American-made products. Preferred Air is employee owned and they really take pride in their work. They installed our new cooling and heating units, redid the duct work to make it more efficient, removed the old units and ducting, and they upgraded the thermostat. Now all our rooms are equally cool. After it ran for a couple of weeks, Fernando came back to make sure it was running properly. We couldn't be happier! read more

We got a few quotes with other companies to get our downstairs unit replaced, but I just felt like I couldn't trust them for whatever reason. From the moment I met Daniel I felt like I could trust him and that he was going to go above and beyond, and he and his guys really did!! Not only were they one of the most reasonable, but their work was impeccable! If you are on the fence on who to go with for your AC needs, give Preferred Air a chance to show you their amazing work! I plan on referring them to anyone I can and in the future we are getting another unit replaced . read more

Our air conditioner went out on a Friday evening before a three-day weekend. But, lucky for me and my family, Daniel from Preferred Air came out within an hour at 8:30 p.m. and got it fixed quickly and for a very reasonable price. Plus he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend them. read more

I found Preferred Air on Yelp while I was in need of a new heat pump ac unit and I'm so thankful I did. Now I don't want to waste anymore time leaving my own 5 star review!! Daniel is awesome and so is his entire crew. When Daniel came out he asked questions and learned what was important to me and what I was looking for, which I liked!! After his assessment, he showed me pictures, gave me all my options in terms that I could understand, along with any recommendations he may have and let me make my own decisions. There was no fast talk or hard selling. He's just a personable, friendly and genuine person who loves what he does. I trust him and definitely recommend him. Daniel and his crew got the new system installed right away and even finished early. They are true professionals. read more

We recently had Preferred Air replace both of our HVAC systems. From the time Daniel came to provide the initial quote, through the installation and follow up to ensure the system was functioning as we had expected, he was professional, courteous, and thorough. Since we've lived in our home, we've had about 6 to 7 different companies come to work on the units at various times and none of them seemed to be too concerned that they were doing the job correctly. Daniel and the team at Preferred check their work and double-check to ensure they have done the best installation possible. Also, they cleaned up after themselves and checked with us to ensure we were satisfied with the cleanup! Again, in our experience, that is a rare occurrence for any contractor. All of these things have made us dedicated Preferred Air customers. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a replacement unit! read more
