Replacement motor with wires covered with electrical tape
shannon r.

On October 10, two technicians from Vader came as a part of the ac optimization program from ladwp. At this time my 5 year old air conditional was completely functional, it just seemed like a great program. They installed a Nest thermostat and then began working on the air conditioner outside. They told us that our capacitor would fail soon and needed to be replaced but a rebate would help with the expense. They then told us that we had too much coolant and we'd have to pay for the disposal of it. Then they told us that they made a mistake and messed up the math and that we didn't have enough coolant. Then they told us that our motor was blowing in the wrong direction. They got motor out of the truck and wired it. They wired it with the wires outside of the unit. We didn't like the wires outside of the unit, and asked that they come back to fix it. The fix was to cover the wires in electrical tape. We left town for 5 days and when we returned, the air conditioner completely stopped working over the course of the next 4 days. 3 guys from Vader came next. They then told us that our condenser was broken but would be covered by warranty except for labor. 3 days later, we decided to have a completely different air conditioner company come in. They re-wired the motor and within 45 minutes our air conditioner was working again. That technician commented that the exposed coils outside of the unit should have been fixed by Vader too. At no point did I disagree with Vader's technicians about what needed to be done. I simply trusted them. I was looking at about a $500 condenser repair that was resolved by re-wiring and $80 in 45min. I couldn't tell you if any of this was accidental or deliberate, but it's what happened to us. I disregarded the occasional negative yelp review and now I wish I didn't. Happens to all of us. /////////////////////////// update: Vader has refunded us their charges in full as well as the additional cost we paid to have the secondary technician to fix our unit.

Ray, Keith and Ava.

My longtime HVAC service company went under recently, so I had to find a new, hopefully long-term,…read moreservice and repair business for my HVAC needs. After a quick search on Yelp, I found this company and they were literally walking distance from me in Lawndale. I figured I'd give them a shot. And so glad I did. Greg was very flexible in working w/my schedule and we figured out a date and time to come out and take look at my furnace that kept cutting out. During the visit he was very friendly and polite and most importantly, super thorough evaluating and repairing my unit. He showed me pictures he took and everything he diagnosed, fixed the immediate issues and made recommendations that weren't urgent, but to keep an eye on for next time. I couldn't have been more pleased. I feel very "comfortable" Controlled Comfort is my new long-term HVAC maintenance and repair service.

I received quotes from 5 different companies for and went with Greg because of his clearly deep…read moreexperience and reasonable price. After initially wanting individual mini splits, he convinced me on the merits of a central heat pump system. Im glad I went that direction and we are very happy with the performance of the AC Pro system he installed. I was pleasantly surprised also at the quality of his team and the attention to detail with the ducting, vent locations, and exterior unit install. I would highly recommend Controlled Comfort to anyone looking for a high quality, affordable HVAC solution.

Although I have used Manny's several times, I continue to be amazed at the truly superb service…read moreprovided by his highly trained technicians. In this regard, Jesus came out to look at our AC system yesterday, which has been working only intermittently. Following a very thorough diagnostic assessment of the overall unit, Jesus suggested that we hold off installing any new parts at this time, as the system is somewhat old and doesn't provide any specifics concerning what needs to be replaced. Indeed, I appreciated Jesus's honest and straightforward assessment, as opposed to relying on guesswork to resolve the problem. At this point, I expect that we will likely be replacing our aging unit sometime this year....and, without a doubt, Manny's will be the company I call to do the job. Along with providing prompt and excellent service, the three technicians I've met from his company have all been very professional, courteous, and personable. Thus, for anyone in need of AC service, Manny's should definitely be the first business to call.

Called them on Saturday to unclog a slow running drain in my bathtub that was spitting out sewage…read morewhen I had the adjacent sink on. I asked for a video/camera analysis which was part of their special of $57. The plumber came a little late and tried to unclog it by snaking it, but instead made it worse as more sewage backed up and now no longer drains. He wanted to charge me $600 for a video analysis for Tuesday. So I'm supposed to wait for the analysis and pay more than what the special advertised. I didn't want to agree to that, so he left my tub worse that before (see pic). When I complained to the service line, they said they would have a supervisor come and do the camera video analysis for free on Monday. I took the afternoon off from work and waited for them to come between 2-4 pm. When no one showed up at 330 pm, I called the main number. They said the appointment got moved back to 430-630 pm and claimed that I got a text/call, which I never did. I asked for a supervisor to call back. The plumber from Saturday called and asked if I wanted to go ahead and do what he recommended. I told him I called and did not want to pay $600 that he quoted and that the company said the camera service would be no charge. Don't know why he called me as it seemed that the company staff don't talk to each other. The supervisor eventually called me back, and after some discussion, he said that he couldn't do a video analysis without a cleanout access, which the plumber never said and which I couldn't find. It was bad enough that things are worse for my tub drain, the sewer smell now permeates my house air, and I lost hours of wages from work taking the afternoon off. But what I don't understand is 1) why did the plumber offer a video analysis when the supervisor said it couldn't be done without a cleanout (which he couldn't find), 2) why did he not offer the analysis to be done on Saturday when he was at my place, 3) why did he quote me $600 both on Saturday and Monday evening after the company said the video analysis would be no charge, 4) why did they not tell me about the delay and instead claim that I got a text/call notification, and 5) after the discussion without resolution for today, why did the supervisor not make any earnest attempt to come and resolve things?
