Miya T.

Hello, Thank you again for the response According to your response, the machine has been continuously missing parts for over three years? That seems like a highly unbelievable percentage that parts of the machine would just break without the usage of it. Your reply is very hypocritical, you have first explained that in 2019 you handed this ac system to us fully functional, even after the zones were mixed. But later on, in the reply, there was a refrigerant missing? It isn't the fact that we have to keep paying for the labor that I fear, it's the fact that you keep using excuses in your reply that contradict each other. Yet again, the machine itself has been leaking for three years. I can't seem to figure out if it was the machine's problem itself or the labor that has been continuously breaking it. And with our houses limited time using it including experiences with our other devices and electronic machines installed in our home. Our power arrangement wouldn't have affected nor harmed the ac, even if it did not to this extreme. How would the PCM board break without even any usage of the machine itself? Is it really the machines fault and not your workers, which you keep trying to make excuses for? The contract itself was another story. You had no paperwork for any of the labor nor parts you seemingly installed in. The contract that my husband signed was childish and immature. Everything was explained with absolutely zero details and was awful. Our household tried to ignore the terrible paperwork because your reviews on yelp seemed to be high (and we wanted to support smaller businesses). The English in our house isn't good, since all of the people in our house are of Chinese ethnicity. I can't help but think your workers and company are trying to take advantage of that fact. Especially since it was the first time we had received this type of service. We have shared our experience with this company online and asked for help because of our minimal knowledge of air conditioning. And the replies that we have received about your company weren't as kind as I would have hoped.

Bedrooms unit

When i started looking for a mini split AC, i explored all options from a big company to handyman with my Amazon bought unit. Ultimately, chose Sharkaire after meeting the owner. Very satisfied with the service, price and performance of these units; initially got one 1.5 installed and then another one too. Very quiet, both indoor and outdoor units (my neighbors AC makes a racket). Good cooling with very low electric usage (i did the electric consumption comparison before and after installation and usage). While i have tried it only a couple of times, the heating too seems indicate that i can stop using the central gas heater, specially since i installed solar panels. Will know during this winter.

you can see the duct tape i used on the unit.

This is my first time owning a ductless AC system so I cannot really compare it to other brands but I love this unit! I have the 12,000BTU in my master bedroom and although its only 200 square feet, I have high ceilings and I thought I could cool the master bathroom if I wished. The system is quiet (much quieter than my fans). I love the fact that its an AC, fan and Heater in one. And compared to window, wall and portable ACs, its so much more modern looking. This unit can easily cool my bedroom and bathroom in around 5 minutes. I even did a test. I turned the AC on full blast, kept the door open for around an hour and it was actually able to bring down the temperature in the adjacent room. The reason I purchased from Sharkaire is because they were only a few miles away so I could purchase directly from them and save on shipping costs. Compared to other brands sold on Amazon, Sharkaire was way cheaper. I think these units arent too popular in the US because of the hassle of installation. Sharkaire recommended an awesome installer Robert who was able to come and install everything very quickly. With these units, you really need someone who understands HVAC, electricity and has general contracting skills. Robert was all of them and his prices were reasonable. Overall I am very happy with this unit. Two slight hiccups. I noticed when I have the AC and dryer on at the same time, the fuse on other areas of the house will shut down (not a big deal, just gotta do one at a time). The power light on the interior unit will always stay on unless you unplug the unit. Since its quite close to my bed, it felt like an overpowering nightlight at night. I ended up purchasing white duct tape, making 3 layers and cutting out a rectangular shape with an Xacto knife. Now I can still see the display without it being too overbearing.

Our 30 year old HVAC (furnace/coil/condenser) was no longer working, so we needed a replacement…read morebefore the summer heat started. So I do what I always do, which is search on Yelp! I found Giant HVAC had great reviews, so requested an estimate. Joe came out and did an assessment and gave us a quote with many different options (different efficiency, different price points, different options). I got 3 other quotes and Giant's was the best in terms of price, what they were going to do, and professionalism. Once I signed the quote, they came out the next week and made quick work of the installation. Within a few hours, the new system was set up and everything worked perfectly! All throughout, Joe was communicative, professional, and extremely pleasant to work with!

It's been 4 years since Joe and his team installed my AC system, and the system has been wrought…read morewith issues within the first few months. Issues include: -- The AC was poorly installed to the point where refrigerant was leaking and needed to be refilled within the first year of installation. Four years later, it's required at least 4 refrigerant refills, in which refills should only happen once every 5-10 years. -- Joe himself has been a snake oil salesman who claims to "take pride" in his team's work, but gave me the runaround about him being too busy to visit the first time I shared concerns about the first signs of the AC not working. Then, in my frustration and leaving poor Yelp and Google reviews, you can see his defensiveness and trying to blame me (the customer) about the all the issues I experienced stemming from this crap AC installation. -- In seeking a more permanent fix over the past few months, I've met with at least a half dozen HVAC contractors, and every single (6+) technician proactively and independently commented at how poorly installed this system was, and every single one of them had serious questions about why or how this job was completed. Not one of them was surprised that I had issues with the AC starting within year one, but was surprised at how unaccountable Giant AC has been. -- Giant AC left so many holes in the walls that created a rat infestation in my attic and crawlspace that cost thousands to fix (and before Joe tries to defend himself and blame me, the exterminator clearly pointed to the areas where Giant AC left gaping holes at the root cause to this infestation). -- The AC wire coverings are completely mismatched and very ugly (see pictures). This visually represents how shoddy of quality and care Giant AC sets as the standard. Unfortunately, Giant HVAC did such a bad job that there are not only leaks across multiple lines, it's also reeking with other hardware issues (e.g., condensers are messed up). And now I'm left with two options (based on various independent HVAC contractors): -- spend thousands to do a complete quality check, rebuilding the HVAC lines, and replace various components, and only be given a 50/50 chance this will permanently fix the issue, OR -- completely replacing the HVAC system installed by Joe and his team after only 4 years of installation. As you seriously consider an HVAC contractor and spending $10000s, I highly encourage you to consider my experience and look for a different contractor.

Years ago the apartment complex I lived at contracted Calvey to install mini-split A/C in the…read moreapartment I was in. The install was amazing quality! So much so that it gave me the confidence to buy my first home without A/C because I knew I could just call Calvey. A few years later I did just that. Damn, it's been a couple of months now and I've been able to control the climate of my entire house from my phone, optimizing the temperature and sometimes making it as low as 66F to just enjoy the air being crisp. The install has been fantastic quality and the crew listened to everything I wanted every step of the way. They mounted rat spikes where I wanted, they put the lines and the units exactly where I asked and I've had no issues at all. I truly believe with home price comparisons in my area that I made money off of the install because it increased my home value. My golden retriever is happy, I am 100% happy and I will see you guys again next home upgrade. :)

Quite unimpressed. Called and spoke to their receptionist girl, who was ok, seems to not know much,…read moredeflects questions and avoids clear answers, but that's not the problem. I send plans and followed up more than twice with direct emails and voicemails. Nothing. No call, no text, no email. No response at all. Clowns! Maybe they're too busy filming awful commercials lol... call them and that's what you'll be paying for! These guys may be ok, but I'll never know and I'll never call them again because they're very unprofessional. They misrepresent 'free estimates'... liars. Find someone else is my recommendation! Bad service, zero communication. FAIL.

The installation process was super smooth, Eugene was very knowledgeable and explained the details and where the lines would be run.

I am very impressed with his skills and attention to detail and would definitely use Fuse again for service in the future!

Both Azamat and Elmar were respectful, honest, professional, and hardworking throughout the entire project. They worked efficiently, kept the disruption to a minimum, and made sure the installation was completed properly and with great attention to detail. I was especially impressed with their customer service. The following day, Azamat stopped by specifically to help us get our water heater back up and running, since we were unfamiliar with its operation and didn't know how to ignite it. We really appreciated that he took the time to come back and help us, even though it was a simple follow-up. Overall, the quality of their work and the level of service made us feel that the project was absolutely worth the money. We really appreciate the work Azamat and Elmar did and would be happy to recommend them.
