water spilled all over the floor
Luis D.

This is the worst experience, excuses, and solution a company can do. This company dodges question and the Carlos (owner) & Phil (administration manager) ignores your phone calls by screening them with another employee. Watch out because after they do a job (which ours was 2 months before the problem) the company tells you to put good comments on Yelp to help them out. Their work was to replace the heater and put it in the attic, put a new AC unit, new ducts, new everything and the price was adequate but it was the wrong choice (I should've gone with my first option, I should've gone with my gut feeling). Our first problem with the AC happened 2 months after the install because the AC kept turning off after 30 min and we couldn't turn it back on. We called the service number and it took time to get someone to check it out. When they showed up, they said, "it's an improper installation of a pipe because it had a clink so it needs to be replaced. It's an easy fix." Did its job the same day, fixed it, and left. A week after....again... same problem..... called again... took longer this time....showed up.... same answer... improper installation of a pipe, clink. It didn't make sense because they did that a week ago but this time they were there for 5 mins left and never came back. I think they just turned it off and on or I don't know what exactly but it worked. Another week after.... this time I get a call from my wife around 6ish (this was during the heat wave) telling me the ceiling was sagging and I needed to get home immediately. This part look at the pictures because that's what I got home too. The equipment was installed exactly where the water damage is at so they can't blame anything else caused it. I called the AC company and they told us they would go... this time the owner shows up. Looks at the equipment and said the pipe was never the problem that a piece was broken and a part needed to be replaced. The water damage though "sorry, it could be the AC but don't worry we'll fix the damage." Their solution, 1. put fans to dry the ceiling for a whole week 2. patch the wet parts with plaster 3. paint over it. That's it! They tried it and it was even worse and it damaged the ceiling even more. Water on the ceiling cannot just be painted and that's it. I asked for their insurance and they "100%" did not want me to call them. They dodged all my phone calls, emails, any type of communication hoping I would let it go. I tried many times to obtain their insurance but since they didn't, I filed a case against their contractors license. Next day, I got their insurance information :/ The ending, we're still working on our claim and it's been really long all because they don't have a California insurance company and I want to voice my situation it's been with this company, Phil, and Carlos. Carlos gave me a story about he wants to stay a small business and wants to fix it and he's happy about not getting bigger... my BS meter went off. Phil gave me the run around that the insurance company doesn't need to get into it. ***Important for everyone**** 1. Always ask for the "Certificate of Liability" and ask to put your name as the additional insured. They don't give it to you with your name on it... red flag 2. Look up the company's Bond in case you need another company fix their mess. 3. Just look for another AC company. ******************************** I explained everything exactly how it happened and pictures are my proof. Also, in the beginning of this incident Phil said he didn't care about if it got on Yelp but instead he wanted to fix everything quickly and correctly. Never happened. Their integrity is missing, trained employees missing (since everything said something that it wasn't), BS present, and they love playing Dodge ball. ***Answer to Carlos*** That is not true. Techs would come after a long time of trying to speak with someone and if I talked with someone they would just say they'd try to contact you or Phil. I adjusted my schedule to make sure the damage was fixed and that was difficult. You told me you'd do whatever needed to the ceiling. The drywall guy told me that you just wanted him to patch and paint. You changed the reason that painting would be enough and that was it. The drywall guy was very nice and is just stuck in middle when I would tell him what needed to be done. The sorry that is being posted is more like a political sorry than sincere. I still want to make sure my incident is told.

Our heater went out recently and were in dire need of replacing our wall furnace since there was a tear inside that was irreplaceable. Our home has been excruciatingly cold. I contacted multiple businesses in the area, but Specialized Heating were so on top of responding to my messages and following up with me with phone calls when they'd be coming. Their customer service was impeccable. Carlos and Lorenzo were the main people I was in contact with during the negotiations. They worked with my availability and had Tony come in early Friday morning to check out the problem. Since we had to get an entirely new furnace they said they were able to replace it the next day. With a great quote and how urgent we needed to get one up and running again we went ahead and hired them for the job same day. Saturday morning comes around and their two guys arrived earlier than their eta which was great and immediately got to tearing down and installing our new furnace straightaway. They were so efficient and professional! They were so organized and clean during the entire process. Covered our wood floors with fabric as to not mess up our floors. Answered all my questions and concerns no problem. I definitely recommend them if you need their service!! Thank you so so much Specialize Heating & A/C!!

Over the…read moreyears, I've dealt with multiple contractors, and too many of them immediately jump to recommending a full system replacement without taking the time to truly diagnose the problem. That has never been my experience with Total 1. What really sets them apart is their honesty and attention to detail. Instead of "firing the parts cannon" or condemning a perfectly serviceable unit just to make a bigger sale, they focus on finding the actual issue and fixing what truly needs to be fixed. That approach has saved me money and given me confidence that I'm getting straightforward, professional advice. Every interaction I've had with Total 1 has been positive -- they're knowledgeable, respectful of your time, and clearly care about doing the job right. It's refreshing to work with a company that prioritizes long‑term customer relationships over quick upsells. In my experience they have always been a great value. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust -- one that won't pressure you into unnecessary replacements and will take the time to explain what's really going on -- I highly recommend Total 1. They've earned my full endorsement and will continue to be my first call.

I saw all the amazing 5 star reviews for True Blue and noticed a common theme. Honest, fair, professional, informative, nice, competitive pricing. All 100+ very positive reviews and not a single negative review. As we all know, that's essentially nonexistent when dealing with the public in any capacity, particularly when it comes to the HVAC service industry. I gave them a call to schedule an estimate. Lisa answered and was amazing with accommodating my schedule and with all subsequent correspondence. Shane came out a couple days later, educated me on the new systems, patiently answered all my questions and took his time explaining in detail my options (I ended up going with the Bosch/heat pump. Quietest compressor I've ever witnessed). Shane sent over a quote that was less than another quote I had received and with many more upgraded options including a $2K federal tax credit. Much more overall value for my money. Shane's crew (Kevin, Rudy & Brandon) came out on the scheduled date and time and handled business to perfection. Removed my old stuff, installed the new equipment and made sure everything was working flawlessly before leaving that same day. The enter process was seamless. Like so many others, I can't recommend Shane and True Blue Heating & Air Conditioning enough for anyone looking to replace their HVAC system. There aren't many small, family owned businesses like this one any more.

I am sharing this review to help other homeowners know what to check after having a new HVAC system…read moreinstalled. NexGen installed my system about one year ago. When the air conditioning stopped working, they told me the circuit board needed replacement. They said the part was under warranty, but I would still pay approximately $500 for the technician. I then spent nearly two months without working AC while waiting for this supposed repair. I finally called Southwest Heating & Air Conditioning for a second opinion. They came out, identified the actual problems, and restored the AC during the same visit--without replacing the circuit board NexGen said I needed. Southwest's written inspection documented several serious concerns with the original installation: * The system had been installed without an air filter. * The filter housing had been taped completely shut. * There were multiple wiring problems, including the system being wired incorrectly. * The plenum was leaking. * The ductwork was not adequately sized for the five-ton system. * A wireless sensor should have been installed on the third floor to help regulate airflow. * Additional repairs are still needed for the system to operate as it should. My advice to other homeowners: Do not assume an expensive part is the problem or wait for months without AC. Get a second opinion and ask the technician to check the filter housing, wiring, plenum, duct sizing, airflow, and sensors--especially after a new installation. I also had a similar pricing experience with NexGen's plumbing department. They quoted approximately $4,600 for work that another licensed company completed for about $860. After an incorrect diagnosis, two months without AC, poor communication, installation concerns, and extremely high pricing, I cannot recommend NexGen. I was also advised to report this matter to the California Contractors State License Board.

Other companies were giving me long waiting windows on when they might show up. I also love that she was able to give me an upfront price on servicing my two units!! Daniel and Eric were the two technicians that came out to service my units. Daniel was very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I explained the situation with the units and he was confident that he would fix the situation.

His confidence put me at ease as I was stressing so much about this mold situation. Daniel and Eric were very professional and we were able to get the job done and had my units looking brand new! They made sure there was no mess left behind and the areas that they serviced were clean. They showed up on time and actually a couple minutes early, which was a great surprise.

They provided white glove service from quotation all the way through installation. I was simple to book a same day inspection and quote request for a new HVAC unit online. The repair technician Angel Perez was just that, an absolute angel. He was unbelievably kind and knowledgeable. After meeting with him and hearing him speak to other members of the company over the phone, I knew this was a special company. The employees spoke to each other like family. Once I submitted my signed contact online, Angel thanked me for choosing them and welcomed me to the family. Contract provides excellent warranty on parts and labor. Unit included install of ecobee smart thermostat, which I am in love with! Not sure how I got by all this time without one. By far the best quoted price out of the four I received. On the day of installation I received a text update with a photo and name of the lead installation technician Jon Neves. He and his team arrived right now time and finished the work exactly at their provided estimated completion time. The team placed a mat by the front door entrance to my house, which was a very nice touch, covered carpeted areas where they would be walking. After the job was complete they vacuumed their work space and it was like they weren't even in the house. The group of guys working in the installation took great care in everything they did. My installation required a crane to get the unit on top of my house and The Purple Crane was in and out quickly. The crane didn't disrupt my neighbors or even the trash service that morning. The crane was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend Steve's 5 Star Service. They offer a service membership for less than $20 a month to handle HVAC tune ups, water heater flushes, and any service needs. You read that correctly, they also do plumbing! They will now be my go to for any plumbing needs. I'm due for a new water heater and I will be contacting them in the near future to handle my replacement. Steve's 5 Star Service took such great care of my baby girl and I during the heat. They were urgent to get us some reprieve from the heat and cool air into our home again. They are the nicest group of people I've ever hired. True to their word, take great pride in their work, take respectful care of their customers and provide easy breezey service. Shout out to the wonderful team that assist me on this project: Angel Perez, Jon Neves, Brad, Javier and The Purple Crane. Thank you thank you! I cannot thank you all enough! It was a pleasure working with you. Breana Cumberland Smith Chino, CA
