    The central air system Fred installed 3 years ago blew the capacitor and quit a few weeks apart for…read morethree times. Fred said it was normal and charged for the house call to replace the capacitor the first 2 time, but stopped returning my calls after the second time. I called another service and was told AC was much bigger than needed, and I needed to replace the duct system to accommodate the System- this cost about $5000. The system came with a 5 year warranty, but doesn't cover installer's miscalculation. I am stuck with the choice of replacing the central air or duct system only 3 years after spending the big $ for a new system. Don't use them.

    I was referred to Fred by a friend. Boy was I glad I found him. Although a little late in the year,…read moresummer heat started pretty intensely and we knew we had to get a new HVAC system in place. Like in many trades, it was difficult to a find professional who was responsive and could show up on time for the initial inspection. Granted, this in itself must be difficult for HVAC business owners to accomplish when the heat is on and calls are coming in from everywhere. We had seven people show up. Of the seven, only four delivered a bid. Fred was not the cheapest, but he also did not quote a ridiculous sky-high number. Remember, quality doesnt come cheap. Fred won my confidence since the beginning. He answered all the questions I asked without hesitation. He tells me he has been in the trade for 20-plus years, and I believe him. He is knowledgeable and confident. Perhaps what I liked most was his "can-do" attitude. He was able to schedule the work in just a few days. At the time of install Fred showed up with a big crew, 6-8 people and everyone was ready to go. Fred walked the property handing out instructions and promptly let everyone get to their assigned tasks. I have to say, I have rarely seen a team that is as well synchronized and overall efficient as Fred's team is. I dont mind that they were finished with the project earlier that I anticipated. I prefer it that way! At completion, everything was spot free. (Fred's son was here, and he kept reminding everyone to clean as they kept moving) I was outside briefly and I heard Fred showing his teenage son how to do certain things. That was what motived me further to write a great review. School is out, why not have you kid tag along with you? I appreciate when parents worry about keeping their kids close, and they show them what hard work looks like. I could not be happier with the results. I am writing this review in a cool home with a smile on my face. I am sure the new system is built well, but only time I will tell. For now, Fred will receive nothing but good recommendations from me!!

    I came across an offer from an affiliate of Home Depot for an AC tune-up for $8.88. Thought it was…read morea great bargain, and I'm sure many of you would too. So I'm going to give you a forewarning, it's a classic bait-and-switch (i.e get your foot in the door and then upsell). I was recommended a hard-start kit (aka compressor saver) and an air purification system. The cost? $1,800+. I told the tech that that's a bit steep for me, so he said, how much could you afford? I said maybe closer to $1,500. The tech called his manager and inform me that they would do it for that price. Initially, I was happy to receive a 20% discount. That is of course, until I googled the PlasmaPure 600 Series and the hard-start kit they sold me after the technician left, and discovered I paid $1,200+ for 2 hours of labor. This was back in June 2025. Give or take 10 months later, my air conditioner stopped working. Normally, I don't turn the AC on during the winter season, but as luck would have it, Los Angeles is having record breaking heat. I haven't used the AC for several months, and I only had a tuneup a few months before that. So I called the same company to determine why my AC wasn't working (hoping that they would stand behind their work). Upon opening the equipment, the hard-start kit they installed in June had exploded. The cause, according to their tech, was that my AC compressor was grounded. The good news? Because my Lennox unit was less than 10 years old, it's still under warranty. The cost to install and repair it? Over $5,000...yikes! :-z But the $88 you paid us today to inspect the unit will go towards the cost of the installation. That's how they get you by the way, by offering you a lower inspection charge. Since this company pulled a fast one on me last time, I decided to get a second opinion. I called Around the Clock considering it was them who initially installed my Lennox unit. They sent Oleg Stopsky out the very same day (I should mention that the other company took over a week to schedule a tech to come out). He confirmed that the compressor is in fact grounded. But because I'm a repeat customer, the cost of labor would be less than 1/3rd of what this other company quoted me. Additionally, the $125 I paid to have them come out to inspect, would be discounted from my total cost. I wanted to get a 3rd opinion just to make sure. I hate to say it, but when you're a solo female, you can easily get duped. When it comes to mechanical stuff, most technicians just assume you don't know any better...and in my case, it's somewhat true. That's why finding an honest company is so important. I contacted a company that was affiliated with Costco. They said they would give me a complimentary inspection. They too said that the unit was under warranty but their quote to repair was more than double of what Around the Clock offered me. I was glad that Around the Clock was the lowest because they were the most expedient and pleasant to work with. So as soon as Lennox sent Around the Clock the compressor, the contactor, and the capacitor, they scheduled Oleg to come out the very next day. I felt really bad because my AC is located on the roof of my building and we had record breaking heat today. But despite the unbearable heat, he remained jovial throughout. He did a superb job and was kind enough to install a permanent dryer filter when he learned that I had weak lungs. And just to show how honest they are, I asked Oleg if I should install a hard-start kit as recommended by the last technician, (because the previous one they installed in June exploded), he told me no. That since we replaced both the capacitor and the contactor (which were also under warranty), it's no longer necessary. This is probably why he's been with this company for over 25 years...because he's honest. I also like that I'm supporting a Ukrainian business. No more paying technicians from multiple companies to come out and inspect in the future. My HVAC company of choice is now Around the Clock. I'm so relieved to have air conditioning again...hallelujah!!

This time we chose an all-electric Heat Pump and will not be burning Natural Gas to heat our house anymore. They are based locally and have been in business for over 26 years. They sold us our old system and we had another positive experience this time, as I'm sure you will too if you are thinking of switching to a Heat Pump I recommend these good people. If you are a Costco member there are occasionally incentives offered as high as 15% of the purchase price in addition to other incentives available for a limited time that help offset the price of a new system. Thank you Around the Clock.

    Oscar and his team installed a new unit 2 1/2 years ago that recently failed under a five year…read morewarranty. In spite of the reluctance of the manufacturer to replace the unit, even after Oscar had replaced several parts at his expense, Oscar continued to work with them until the manufacturer finally agreed to provide a new unit. It has now been installed and is working well. It would be difficult or impossible to find a firm as tenacious and willing to work in the customer's best interests, and in such good spirits.

    We ended up hiring AC Kings for two new projects: (1) to perform routine maintenance on all our…read moreexisting mini-split units, and (2) to replace our very, very old living-room mini-split AC with a new Daikin unit. As expected, their work on both projects was top-notch. Oscar and Karina continued to be highly professional and friendly, and everyone on the crew who came to help on both projects were also super friendly and respectful (including of people, our dogs + cats, and in general the space around our house), and from what I could tell they were very diligent and thorough. Re: the new unit: We've been using it now almost daily for about a month, now that the Valley summer is here. The unit has been working phenomenally and without a problem. I have a good sense of how much this work should cost based on recent estimates I got on another mini-split, so I believe that AC Kings' quote + bill was market competitive. But to be honest (and maybe I'll regret saying this out loud), I would probably pay just a little extra for Oscar's expertise and detail-oriented work. It's clear he knows his stuff. To support this last point, I should note that technically AC Kings came by a THIRD time to our house--on accident, because they were helping out my neighbor (who also said their work was excellent). I asked Oscar and his crew to check out an electrical problem we seemed to be having with our old mini-split. He did so and then didn't charge me for it. Can't recommend AC Kings enough.
