First off, let me just make sure I mention that Aaron M. went above and beyond to make sure my ac/heater were working right before the homeowner inspection. So originally, it was just going to be a typical yearly maintenance and I had looked up on Thumbtack to find a company that can come out asap to get it out of the way. Straight Shooter reached out promptly and got the appointment for next day. Aaron came out and inspected the attic. He was very honest and not trying to upsell me and gave me different options to go about it. I truly appreciate Aaron for speaking to my realtor afterward to get her thoughts on what she and I should do. The fact he was happily to explained it again to my realtor as well is appreciated. The price he gave us was beyond reasonable!! Can't put a price on making sure your home is safe. Especially with smaller children Straight Shooter was able to get their guys to come out the day after. I'm still trying to wrap my head how that evaporator coil was able to get up in the attic with that small space. Lol but they did it!! But they came across a problem and Aaron literally came out at 7pm that evening for two hours to try to figure it out. I have a 2 story home and two separate ac thermostat that control upstairs and downstairs. Aaron apologize that he would get one of his guy to come out Monday at the earliest at 7am to get this taken care of and sure enough, they did!! Aaron and his guy Scott got it knocked out in an hour!!! Side note: Aaron made sure that my daughter and I would have heater working upstairs for the weekend since it has been super cold at night. I truly appreciate a company that goes above and beyond for their customer!! Would definitely recommend Straight Shooter for all your HVAC needs

I believe we found Straight Shooter on social media. We met with Michael A. for an initial quote. He was very friendly and is a professed Christian. The installers, Luis, Oscar, and Chuck arrived right on time in the morning. We were anticipating them to be here all day, but they were finished hours earlier than expected. They were knowledgeable, friendly and answered all of our questions we had during the installation. I loved that they were considerate and put covers on their shoes when they came into our home. They gave us an overview of the system, how to use the thermostat which after one day, was very simple to use. The house feels so much better with the new system. I would absolutely recommend Straight Shooter for your HVAC needs!!!!

The straight shooter team made the whole installation process of our splits super easy from start to finish. I reached out to straight shooter on a Monday describing what I was looking for and Carlos came by the next morning to look at the task at hand. He was super helpful on giving his recommendations for placement of splits in our rooms and what kinds are best. He was able to give me a quote the same day which was very competitive to the other offers I was given. I was so happy with the price we decided to move forward with the work the next day. Kenny Oscar and chuck did an amazing job with the installation. They were in and out in one days work and they installed 3 splits in our house and whatever the work that goes with all that on the outside of the house too. There was no mess left behind and everything works great. Highly recommend them!

I needed a solution on how i could re-route the duct work in my kitchen ceiling so I could eliminate my ceiling soffit and install ceiling cabinets. The situation was challenging due to the direction of the ceiling joists and location of where the ducting dropped down from the second story. Straight Shooter came through for me by rerouting the ductwork to go through my hallway ceiling and then also installing new vents in the kitchen and room next to it. They did great work for a great price. I would highly recommend.

It was a Big job, and I must say the West Coast team did an excellent job. Communication was great throughout, and the entire team was a pleasure to work with. We had a couple of other companies provide quotes, and West Coast beat them all! They were reliable, professional, and affordable. The installation went smooth and passed all inspections with flying colors! Thank you to the West Coast Team for the Great service!

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.

As a Realtor, I'm used to vetting contractors, so I gathered five different quotes for this project--including bids from Tytum, Progressive Heating, and Fuse AC. Airmaxx not only provided the best price quote, but their proposal was the most complete. They were the only ones who made the permitting process completely seamless, which was critical for my tight timeline. And great equipment recommendation. The Carrier 37MURA High-Efficiency Heat Pump--it's a "slim line" model, so it has a much smaller footprint than those old bulky cubes, which was perfect for my San Diego side yard. Plus, it uses variable-speed inverter technology, making it really quiet and efficient. The communication with their office was prompt and professional from the initial Yelp inquiry to the final invoice. They scheduled the work quickly, and the installation of the new Lennox furnace was fast and clean. It's rare to find a company that hits the trifecta of best price, highest quality, and fastest turnaround. I highly recommend the Airmaxx team for anyone in San Diego looking for reliable HVAC work!

We honestly thought it might end up being something major and were very hesitant to start the process of getting it fixed not knowing what it would cost or entail. We've had a few other companies come out over the years but they were unable to figure out what was causing our problem to begin with, and quickly brushed us off. David and his team came out to assess the issue and were able to fix it so quickly, which is a true testament to their expertise. We also greatly appreciated their honesty and integrity. They focused on fixing the actual issue and making sure everything was working properly before they left. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it in the future. The whole experience was smooth, straightforward, and incredibly reassuring. After dealing with this mystery issue for 8 years, it's such a relief to finally have it resolved. If you're looking for an HVAC company that is honest, skilled, and truly looking out for their customers, I can't recommend them highly enough. We will absolutely be calling them again for any future HVAC needs. Thank you David and team for the fantastic service!!!

But it's really rare (in my experience) when a service company not only exceeds every expectation but continues to year after year. Krystal is incredible and her attention to follow up and personal communication is the best I've experienced. My system is not new but we did have a new Ecobee thermostat installed a few years back. Huge fan of this company and I'd recommend to anyone! They installed it easily and works (worked haha) perfectly until we had an accident in the attic (by no fault of theirs) that damaged the wire leading to the thermostat. Billy shot right over and diagnosed the issue due to his electrical smarts (and that he can fit up in my attic the size of a mouse trap). Sorry Billy. With old houses and older units, like ours, sometimes rewiring can be really difficult and many times not the best solution. Which was the case in our situation. Instead, the best fix for the wiring issue, was no wiring at all. Thank you technology! Billy suggested installing a wireless remote transmitter on the furnace that could talk to my favorite Ecobee thermostat. Simple solution to an old house problem. The system is up working properly now and it was all done quickly and with no stress. How many times can you say that with a non functioning system in an old house! From the techs and their attention to detail and Krystal and her epic work and customer support, they have my business for life.
