Heating & Air Conditioning / HVAC near Foothill Ranch

“Poor HVAC experience with White Mechanical I had two HVAC Lennox Signature series units, and all my ducts were replaced by White Mechanical in 2021, who were the authorized installer for Costco at the time. My experience with them has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Last year, both my thermostats needed replacement due to a factory defect, and the technician who came over was unprofessional, making several comments about not being paid enough. While I ignored this at the time, it should have been a red flag. I also requested two additional ducts for far-away rooms, for which they quoted an exorbitant $2,300. After reaching out to Lennox, they recommended another company who did the same work for just $1,000—a clear indication that White Mechanical’s pricing was inflated. Fast forward to last week when my downstairs AC stopped working. The same technician returned and blamed me for not cleaning the overflow pipe, which I do annually. After he left, the system worked briefly and then failed again. They charged me $89 for this so-called "maintenance," despite it being under warranty. This charge was only refunded after I disputed it with Steve, their Residential Manager. A second technician identified the real issue—a faulty circuit breaker. Shockingly, White Mechanical claims they do not replace the circuit breaker when installing a new HVAC system, even though their proposal stated all electrical parts would be new. They quoted $590 for the breaker replacement, which is outrageous. A loose circuit breaker can be a source of an electrical fire. As an electrical engineer, I knew this was a rip-off and I declined the service. I purchased the same breaker for $19 from Home Depot and replaced it myself in 20 minutes. Quotes from licensed electricians in this area confirmed that the job were in the range of $75 to $130. Although the diagnostic fee was refunded, I later received an email from Steve stating that White Mechanical would no longer service my home, likely because I refused to be extorted. I will happily take my business elsewhere and advise others to do the same. In conclusion, White Mechanical overcharges and employs technicians who are not fully trained. I plan to report my experience to Lennox, Costco, and the State Licensing Board. While Costco is a great company, using their third-party vendors like White Mechanical can lead to being taken advantage of. I urge others to be cautious of this company and seek out alternative authorized service providers.“

“Our AC would not go on, and it was Labor day so after calling some companies and finding out they weren't even open we called Air Care. They were open for business and thankfully so because it was over 90f! Air Care was very friendly and assured us they'd be over within a couple of hours. Jack, the mechanic from Air Care called in less than 2 hours and confidently told us he'd be over in 20 minutes to get the AC working for us (Thanks Jack)! Long story short, yes Jack was here and yes he kept his word!! He had our system running again and even gave us a huge discount for being a veteran!! Thanks again Jack for your help and reliability along with great customer service and thank you Air Care for being there when you were desperately needed. We highly recommend Air Care for all the above reasons.“

“They were very professional and did a thorough assessment first. This helped us diagnosed an issue with our house which had bothered us since we bought it 7 years earlier. They installed the new system within a day of hard work and we are extremely happy with the results :-)“

“Lewis Air was amazing. Quick and detailed review of our home with various quote options. Once we selected our needs the team was able to schedule our installation within days. Really great crew that showed up! Thank you, Niko M. And the whole Lewis Air crew.“

“Chad showed up on time, happy to help. He and his helper checked out the problem and made sure the system was up and running. I cannot recommend them enough.Service: A/C system maintenance“

“Jon Parent and Michael (Tech) are real Professionals and I am so happy to work with them! Bravo Zulu!“

“I just had my air conditioner fixed and it is running wonderfully!!! I called and spoke to Bernie and told him my issues this past Saturday morning. He came by earlier in the day and he was able to diagnose the problem immediately. Bernie was very professional and friendly and he showed me exactly what was wrong and that he would be able to replace the furnace blower motor. Bernie gave me a great price for the replacement and we set up a date for him to come by. Bernie was kind enough to come by at 7am this morning to fix the blower motor before the heat arrived. I truly appreciate everything that he did and I would definitely recommend you give Bernie from Icee hot air conditioning and heating a call if you have any issues with your air conditioner. It definitely helps that Bernie is available both Saturday and Sunday as you never know when your air conditioner will stop working. Thank you very much again Bernie!!!“

“Sergei did a greate job explaining the options. He had the best price and best solution for problem. I decided to get the Full variable system and been very happy with it.

He is honest and price was very competitive.“

“Awesome service .. Behshad came in and fixed the issue with our AC unit in no time and the charges were much lower than the competition!!!! 5 star service“

“2-Year Update - System was installed two years ago and is still working great. Just had them out for the annual service/tune up and everything is in good shape. Appreciated the great customer service and attention to detail. Thanks again for a great installation.“

“If you're in the Orange County area, call these guys! We've been using JL Quality Heating and Air for a few years now and they keep our older HVAC unit running throughout the year. I have found them to be very responsive, they always provide a high degree of customer service, and I think they are very trustworthy and competitive.

They keep my system going when we need it most -- especially this morning when they showed up at 7am to get my HVAC operating again after it stopped working over the weekend in triple-digit temperatures! When a repair is all that's required they're not trying to sell new installations or replacements instead. However...they were my parent's top choice when it came time to replace their HVAC system a few years back and they did beautiful work providing a custom solution that was exactly what my Dad was looking for and at a great price!“

“Excellent Customer Service! The owner Chad was responsive and helped us try to fix it over the phone and when that was not possible sent Rene to our home who was able to find the problem and fixed it immediately reinstating our cool air!
Highly recommend!!“

“This is my second time using AAD cleaning and after they leave I’m always so grateful they have come. They walk me through everything, show me the good and the bad and they do a thorough job. I love that they use a HEPA filter and they put pads down around their work. They are friendly and prompt. Highly recommend!“

“Finally, I have found the perfect plumbing company! Extremely professional from the moment I spoke to Jesse with his awesome customer service, to the excellent plumber that did the plumbing work on my rental property. Very professional, very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them, and will definitely use them again in the future.“

“Nick was very quick and responsive to our request for service. We are extremely pleased with his work which included replacement of our entire HVAC system including the AC condenser and furnace. Nick is knowledgeable regarding his trade and takes the time to explain how the HVAC system works before proceeding with the job. He makes himself availble for follow up questions after the job is done. His employees were respectful to our property and took extra time to clean the work area once their work was completed. His pricing is fair and well within the industry standards. We feel Nick was honest and straightforward during this process. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality work and positive interaction.“

“I have to start by saying I'm so impressed with this company ! They are BY FAR the best! I was looking for a new air conditioner/furnace/thermostat because my system stopped working after 27 years in the dead of heat. I knew it was time. It's stressful too . I was deciding between a Lennox or what Iv had 27 years with no issues which was Carrier. I did research , Lennox parts are hard to get so I read reviews on this company who installs Carrier after getting two other quotes we went with Mission Viejo heating and air. The other people who came out were not personable and didn't answer my questions and tried upselling me on something I didn't truly need. John came out he was great! He answered all my questions gave me his cell and even saw something the other two people didn't . The day of service which was today , Leo and Jackson came out early on time ready to get started and did everything efficiently and in a timely fashion also answering my questions. This team is personable respectful and great to do business with ! I highly recommend them you can trust they will get the job done. they also help get the inspections. Thankyou guys for doing a great job !“

“Our Comfort Cool 2.0 whole house fan has saved us the past 10 years living without AC. With our addition of AC with remodel we plan to continue use of whole house fan to keep us comfortable when weather permits.“

“Ben was very helpful and professional in servicing my mini-split unit. A lot of other AC companies would not service mini-splits other than their own brands. I would use Airotech again.“

“Trustworthy, honest, dependable, and provides great communication! We’ve used this company for both our heating and air conditioner needs. Highly recommend without reservation!“

“We had a completely new heatpump HVAC system and ductwork installed. Peter was very courteous, listened to all concerns and requests, gave us the most competitive quote and worked with us throughout the project. Any issues and adjustments were addressed promptly and fair.
His crew , Gus and Edgar, were really great to work with. They kept everything clean, were respectful, answered all questions and made small adjustments as needed.

We are very happy that both the HERS test and city inspection passed on first attempt and without findings.

The new system is very quiet, and moves a lot of clean air throughout the house.
And the last gas bill dropped to under $20!

We look forward to working with Peter on future system service.

Give this small local company an opportunity to bid on your project and you will be happy.“

“Absolutely awesome! One phone call and they were out in an hr!

We had an issue with our nest thermostat battery dying and the tech from Phoenix Air fixed it in no time flat, it was wired incorrectly. While he was here he took a look at our filter and said it was time to change it, when I said we had some he changed it for me, tested everything and was out.

It was the best AC/Heating service call I have ever experienced hands down. From scheduling to the service call it was great. If you need help with your system, make the call to Phoenix AC and you will be glad you did!“

“Apex is a five star operation. They sell top notch equipment, and their service is excellent. I ended up using Apex to install two HVAC systems, and I’m so glad I used them. Their bid was very competitive, but most of all, I felt pretty good about working with a Johnny who is a great guy. The systems are terrific, the installation was done well, and the follow up service has been fantastic. Can’t say enough good stuff about them.“

“The customer service from the HVAC company was outstanding. They took the time to explain the different options, and the installation team was courteous and knowledgeable. Our home is now more comfortable than ever“

“Very pleased with the in office meeting with Manager last week to answer my questions and schedule a service appointment. Service Tech Jorge was very professional, listened well, explained his findings well, and made recommendations.“

“I had an experience with Rescue O.C. Air Conditioning & Heating Repairs! When my heating system stopped working I was really worried. Needed help away. Their team came to my aid quickly and efficiently resolved the problem making my home warm and cozy again in a jiffy. What impressed me more was their professionalism and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. They even followed up afterwards to make sure everything was functioning perfectly. I can confidently say that Rescue O.C. Air Conditioning & Heating Repairs is the choice in town for heating repairs. They will definitely be my choice, from now on!“

“I can't thank enough for Bill and his team for delivering exceptional service. After calling for quotes from different companies to purchase a new A/C, Bill explained every little detail what kind of A/C will benefit me in terms of the initial cost and maintenance in the long run, and I decided to go with cool Air Technologies. Again, thank you all for what you do! I would definitely recommend them in a heartbeat.“
