We had a full HVAC installation that included removing the old units, relocating the new units from the garage to the attic, moving the thermostat, installing all new ductwork, and cleaning and replacing all vents. 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! read more

Uriel Blancas is the HVAC tech who did the spring maintenance re-check today and he did an exemplary job. 10/10, FIVE STARS IN ALL ASPECTS. 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. read more

A Solid Choice - You Can Trust These Cats! Hey, listen up Captain 619 here. I can't tell you how much bad luck I've had with contractors in San Diego County. I've taken two to court over just doing their job. But let me tell ya, this company impressed me right off the bat with their Yelp reviews. And more importantly, they sent one of their top guns, Tanner. This guy was not just any average joe; he was proficient, knowledgeable, and above all, he had integrity. That's the cornerstone of the kind of people I want to deal with. Now, let me tell you about the pricing--before I even asked, I already knew what the job should cost. Everyone else wanted to charge double or triple, but these cats came in with a fair price that was just right. I didn't have to negotiate a thing; it was perfectly fair. I can't recommend West Coast Heating, Air Conditioning, and Solar enough. Tanner showed up, and it was clear he cared about more than just a service call. If you get the chance to work with this company, don't even think about calling anybody else. You heard it from me--I'm a straight shooter. If you're lucky enough to get Tanner, you're in good hands. Capisce? read more

West Coast Heating Air Solar - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - El Cajon, California

I had a wonderful experience with West Coast Heating Air Solar. A broken AC in the thick of a San Diego fall heatwave is a rather stressful experience. My experience with West Coast was calming and reassuring. Firstly, response rate on Yelp is very quick. I called to schedule a consulting appointment when I smelled a burning smell from my AC and I saw my condenser line outside was frozen over. Chary came out for a free consultation and quickly determined my blower motor was busted and would need replacement. Fortunately, the part was covered under warranty. He was very friendly and even put on shoe covers without me needing to ask which was awesome. He walked me through what the issues were and answered my many technical questions. The initial estimate on pricing was higher than I was hoping for but I really wanted to go with West Coast for their quality and expertise. I worked with ownership to see if there was a middle ground on pricing. I was a very pleased to report they came back with a great offer and I happily accepted. I had a small hiccup in scheduling as the part took about a week to arrive but I had to call twice before I was informed that the part wouldn't arrive till later and which point they would contact me to schedule the appointment. I would have preferred a text or Yelp message letting me know the part was scheduled to arrive later that week so I wouldn't worry. Chary arrived to perform the Installation which he did very quickly within an hour. I asked Chary if he could also assist me with validating my downstairs condenser unit since it had frozen over. He took voltage measurements of my capacitor and assured me my condenser was good to go. I also added the West Coast club 1 year checkup service which comes with 2 white glove check up visits every 6 months. This activated a lifetime warranty on the part installed. I highly recommend West Coast. read more

Just had Thomas come and fix our a/c, it was making a really loud vibrating hum noise. Was able to get a same day appt for this afternoon between 2-4. Got a call just before 2 that he was on his way, very prompt. He was able to diagnose and explain the possible cause/solution....we went with the basic repair to start: new capacitor, ac renew , refrigerant charge , leak seal , and vibration pads . Total was $1844, which seemed reasonable. With that we get 2 inspections for the year - they will come out and check the heater & a/c again. Now it works great, issue resolved. read more

Very thorough and professional. No high pressure upselling. Will definitely use them for all my HVAC needs!

Jesse Wilson from West Coast Heating, Air, and Solar replaced a SolarEdge inverter at my home. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. The installation went well. Jesse noticed one of the optimizers was not working so he called SolarEdge to send a replacement. He came back to replace the optimizer. He also setup WiFi communication for monitoring. He was very helpful. read more

I had Volodymyr Maistriuk out to provide me with an opinion and quote on an HVAC mini split system. He was right on time and couldnt have been any nicer! First off, the second he walked in he put on shoe coverings and got right to work. VERY professional and extremely friendly. Far from pushy with the quote and answered all of my questions. Considering the visit and everything was at no cost, I would highly recommend having west coast out to provide their 2 cents on your HVAC setup. read more

My AC wasn't cooling and I called West Coast for assistance. I was able to get an appointment right away. My tech, Thomas A., came out and started evaluating the potential issues. While he was here, of course, the AC was cooling just fine. He suggested getting me on a maintenance plan - which I did before he left. He was friendly, knowledgeable and provided great service! read more

​Five stars for West Coast Heating Air and Solar. Chary came out to do maintenance on my HVAC system and provided absolutely excellent support. He went above and beyond to do a great job. It's hard to find this level of service, so I highly recommend them! read more

Glen and Mykola were the technicians that came to replace my furnace and install a new vent today. They were very professional, informative, and speedy.

We had a great experience with West Coast Heating. They came to check out our furnace ahead of the cooler months. They made some adjustments to make sure it was running as efficiently as possible and we were set. Booking was easy and communication the day of was clear. Highly recommend! read more

I had West Coast Heating Air Solar install a ductless air unit last year. The installation was fast, clean, and smooth. They also provided a complimentary service one year later, which included general maintenance and cleaning. The unit had been working great, but the day after that maintenance service, an issue came up -- the system stopped heating and cooling properly. West Coast Heating Air Solar has been phenomenal in trying to fix the problem. They've been very communicative and generous with their time while helping resolve this issue. Although the issue isn't fully resolved yet, I'm confident they will follow through. I genuinely appreciate their integrity and business ethics. It honestly feels rare in this industry. I've recommended them to family and friends, and if I ever need heating or cooling services again at my home or a future property, I would absolutely call them for installation or services based on my experience so far. read more

Good experience with West Coast for servicing a residential water heater! On the Yelp system, the main office provided a clear answer to my inquiry about whether they could work on an aging water heater as well as a competitive quote. The main office also provided good email updates about appointment status and speedy email confirmation of billing/payment status. Chary from the firm showed up on time for the appointments. On the first, he confirmed the initial quote in a no-pressure manner. He found that my water heater to be an uncommon model, so the particular replacement part was not available in his truck. The firm seems to be based closer to downtown San Diego than north county where the water heater was, and so a follow-up visit was needed after the part was obtained. In the second appointment, he replaced the aging anode rod and flushed the tank, all in an friendly, efficient manner. He clearly explained everything that he was doing. A professional firm that I would use again. read more

West Coast did a great job repairing my leaky exposed ductwork. They provided fast service (3 day total turnaround time) and gave me useful options when determining how to address the issue. Tanner was on time, friendly and communicative. He also made friends with my cat. A-1 service, and would totally hire them again. read more

I recently had Volodymyr from West Coast out to provide an HVAC estimate, and while I ultimately did not go with them this time due to pricing, I had a very positive overall experience. From the start, their process felt modern and professional with plenty of email and text notifications that kept me updated. Volodymyr came across as very knowledgeable and honest, taking the time to walk me through everything clearly. I especially appreciated the detailed quotes and pictures he provided, which made it easy to understand exactly what was being recommended. Even though I didn't move forward this round, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to West Coast again if I need HVAC work in the future. read more

I am very happy with the entire experience from West Coast Heating! We had a new furnace installed with a new intake, thermostat, new heating ducts, the works! The price was great and the job was completed in two days. And I was especially impressed with their thorough estimate and explanation of the entire process. Highly recommend this company. read more

I got multiple quotes from companies about replacing my aging furnace with a dual gas/electric system. I did not end up going with West Coast, however, they were professional, provided enough attention to detail and gave me a competitive but. more expensive offer than the one I went with. read more

A full 5 stars for Volodymyr and West Coast Heating and Air. Our AC was blowing room temp air last night during the middle of a heat wave. I called the next morning and they scheduled us for the same afternoon. As seen in many others' reviews, Volodymyr is a professional, HVAC expert. He explained what was going on as he went through the troubleshooting steps, took the time to check the entire system (not just the outdoor compressor but also the furnace/blower in the attic), and then clearly laid out several options for me to consider. Now our AC is cooling the house again. Very friendly and did not make me feel like he was rushing through everything. read more

This company is excellent. I had a heat pump hot water heater installed. Every thing about the company is top notch. Communication is excellent and I've never seen such a professional looking installed product ever! I didn't both shopping around because I know they have great prices on solar panels and heat pumps hvac. The office has long open hours and emails are replied to promptly. Just what a company should be. Thank you Vasil and team for a quality job. read more

I contacted Westcoast to overlook an AC that hadn't been serviced in a few years. We had a different company come out to overlook the outside unit before. An older Rheem unit. Sam came out and was very detail oriented with his initial inspection to ensure me I would be making the right decision. After showing me proof photos of issues and concerns with the outside unit and the furnace in the hallway, we decided to go with his recommendation. The other company didn't exactly show me what I needed to know about all the dust that was caked up inside the furnace unit and the fan and motor. Honest work from Sam. Pricing would be considered competitive considering all of his work today was labor only. He showed up promptly and communicated with me about his arrival and respected our home as I was not present(but my wife was). Sam did a full service work up minus Freon since I had Freon redone a few years back. Washed condenser coils, removed the electrical unit from the furnace, vacuumed the dust, dismantled the blower and motor, washed the housing, overlooked the condenser coils in the furnace, washed the Rheem unit after putting some condenser cleaning solution. The rest was history. We will be requesting Sam for the future as he would be familiar with our unit. Great job Westcoast HVAC. read more

After having four different companies come out to evaluate the issue, Volod stood out by far. He was the only one who clearly identified the real problem without any runaround or unnecessary upselling. His honesty and expertise were immediately evident. Volod is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and straightforward -- exactly the kind of technician you hope to get. What really impressed me was how responsive and communicative he was throughout the process. Every question I had was answered quickly, and he kept me fully informed every step of the way. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing the job right and making sure the customer understands what's going on. It truly doesn't get better. The company is lucky to have someone like Volod on the team -- I hope they recognize his value and keep him around. I highly recommend asking for him specifically. read more

My AC unit has been down for about 3 weeks after having 2 other AC companies troubleshoot it and it was still down. It wasn't until I called West Coast Heating in El Cajon, which was recommended from one of the AC companies that couldn't fix it. My technician was JON LUKE GARRABRANT, this guy spent 30mins troubleshooting the system and came up with the solution right away. While the prior AC companies replaced my thermostat which amount to no effect. JON showed up and said my old thermostat is working fine and that the issue was in my TRANE unit communication board. JON was not only professional and honest but incredibly knowledgeable. He explained every detail of what he was doing, that level of transparency made it easy for me to sign up to be a member of their maintenance service plan. You have definitely earned a loyal customer here today. Thank you for going above and beyond, JON. read more

I called West Coast Heating to look into an AC leak. They're technically the 4th opinion I've requested for this issue. The tech, Uriel, stood out from other techs in terms of professionalism and thoroughness. His initial inspection took twice as long and covered far more ground than the other techs I'd seen. He documented everything, photos, logs, readings, and notes. And this was all sent to me in a clear, detailed report that I used as reference to make a decision. As I write this review a month later, I can still easily find the records. As an engineer, I gravitate towards evidence and a clear rationale so I could not resist asking a lot of questions, which Uriel handled very well. He showed solid working knowledge and real world experience. He knew his stuff and gave confident, grounded answers with unnecessary guesswork. For example, he said "this is a common failure point but we won't know for sure without a leak test". In contrast, other techs would be overly confident or absolute, saying that I needed to replace either the condenser or the whole thing. That kind of honesty/straight-shooter-ness was refreshing to see and builds trust. We ended up doing the dye test and identified the issue, a faulty valve stem. It was a $150 fix, which is a huge relief compared to the gnarlier suggestion from others. I am glad I didn't go with the earlier HVAC techs and waited for West Coast Heating. read more

Had a new AC unit with mini split system installed, and company has been very helpful getting it resolved. Great service and management is very responsive to any concerns. I am planning to use them for my solar needs as well. read more

The inspection went well. The technician was able to provide me with a very thorough analysis of what my problem actually was, he was very honest and told me my ducts were in bad shape, anyone saying just a cleaning is trying to pull one over on me. He recommended a replacement, which I ultimately went with. They scheduled my work about two weeks later because my job wasn't an emergency, I could still cool the house (summertime). They were not the cheapest, but for the price it was very high quality duct work plus a new warranty on my ducts. The payment process was easy too, I put a deposit on my credit card to start work and they gave me to option to pay the rest the same card automatically after they completed the work. If I ever need HVAC services in the future, I would absolutely hire them again. read more

They were great!!! Excellent knowledge and customer service. Went above and beyond what was requested to help me.

I can't say enough great things about Wes, our technician who came out to diagnose a persistent issue with our A/C unit. Over the course of two days, Wes was the quintessential professional: punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and exceptionally thorough in his work. He conducted a comprehensive battery of tests and diagnostics, patiently explaining every step of the process. What truly impressed me was his dedication to finding the root cause of the problem, not just treating a symptom. He took the time to walk me through his findings, presenting clear and honest options without any pressure. His expertise and transparent communication gave me complete confidence that we were in the best possible hands. Because of the outstanding service and peace of mind Wes provided, this company has truly earned my business for life. I will be recommending them without hesitation to friends, family, and neighbors. If you need A/C work done, ask for Wes--you won't be disappointed! read more

When we saw water leaking onto our garage floor from what looked to be our HVAC unit we wanted help ASAP. I called after regular hours and got an appointment for the next day, after the first company I called couldn't fit me in till The next week.

After moving into our condo, I tried to change the filter in our furnace. Unfortunately, the previous owner had some work done on the condensation trap and it was right in front of the filter opening so that I couldn't remove the filter. West Coast Heating sent Sam out the same day and cut the old filter out and replaced it with a better one that was more flexible and could be manipulated enough to install it. Sam was patient and explained everything clearly and completely. West Coast Heating was prompt in responding and helpful without trying to push other services on me. Sam did explain their maintenance program but in a very nice, non-pushy way which I so appreciated. Thank you read more
