Heating & Air Conditioning / HVAC near San Pedro

“We had a new HVAC system installed in 2020, and since it was installed the heater rarely worked--the original installer couldn't figure it out, nor could 3 other HVAC companies we had look at it over the years. Apparently our furnace is an Ultra-Low Nox system and they're very finicky. Urso Air was recommended to us and the person on the phone was very knowledgeable about these systems and sent Ryan out to take a look. He identified the issue, replaced a part under its warranty and now our heater works. Ryan and the folks at the office were professional, easy to talk to and engage with, which is rare these days. We are extremely satisfied with their work and will call them in the future if we need more help with our temperamental furnace!“

“We have been wanting to get a new heating system for our home. Our niece recently had her system upgraded and she was very pleased with Total Home Environmental service. We decided to contact them and they explained all our options. We decided to not only get a new heating system but added air conditioning as well. Sure glad we did as I never realized how the temperature in your home can affect other areas of your life. It seems we are sleeping better because of the controlled temperature. The whole experience was very positive from the planning to the actual installation. Definitely would recommend this company for any service/installation you are considering.“

“Very reliable service! I'm not big on tech stuff, but they really took the time to explain in layman's terms what my options are and I'm positive I made the best choice. Prices are great, too. Thank you ✨ I'll be calling back next time for maintenance“

“With the warmer weather, we switched to AC mode for the first time after installing our new HVAC system by 74 degrees. Unfortunately, the air out of the vents was not cool. Flavio was assigned to come to troubleshoot and repair our AC. He was very methodical in checking out various aspects and through his expertise, he found that our condensate drain was clogged. As a result, the safety switch shut down the cooling operation. He quickly unclogged the drains and meticulously cleaned it out, and our system was up and running! A few comments about Flavio…He is extremely smart, and very professional. He is so polite and takes the time to patiently answer my questions. I am extremely happy with his service. He gained my trust. I wish everyone who does work on our house would be like him!! He is undoubtedly a major asset to 74 Degrees!“

“Their upkeep on the heating system is perfect. They pay great attention to the little things and always do the job right the first time. I highly recommend them for maintaining your heating system!“

“P&M Mechanical installed a new Central Air System in my historic Craftsman Bungalow. The whole process was exceptional from the beginning. They listened to my concerns and came up with a system that was exactly what I wanted. The installation was amazing considering the lath and plaster ceilings they had to deal with. Juan and Daniel, the installers, were very detailed and made sure every was done properly. I have worked with many contractors and I can say this was one of my best experiences.“

“Ryan of Novak Mechanical was referred to me by a good friend and installed a Slimline (R410A) AC unit for us about 8-9 years ago. Installation was done well and we had no issues until the Saturday of a hot 4th of July weekend when the unit stopped cooling.

I figured it would be an easy fix and reached out to NexGen because they were able to guarantee me an early morning appointment on Monday (and I wasn't sure if Ryan's team would be able to come out so quickly, given he's got a smaller crew and it was in the middle of summer). WHAT A BIG MISTAKE!!!

Long story short: NexGen told me my compressor and some other parts were bad, that because our existing AC unit (R410A) was being phased out and there was only a limited supply of the compressors available and that it would take up to 3 months to get an available unit. They then quoted me a price of nearly $11K for parts and labor (again, just to repair my 10 yr old unit). The NexGen rep (and his parts guy who was on the phone) then tried to persuade me that it made a lot more sense for me to simply by an entirely new unit at a cost of approximately $15K for parts and labor because I'd be getting an entirely new unit (instead of a partially repaired unit).

None of this made a lot of sense to me so I finally came to my senses and reached out to Novak Mechanical. Ryan called me back almost immediately, agreed that what I was told by NexGen didn't make sense, and that he would have one of his crews come out the next day to assess the situation. Jose and his partner arrived the next day on time and, WITHIN 5 MINUTES, had diagnosed the problem, replaced a part that connects to/boosts the compressor, and had our AC unit up and running cranking out cold air. In other words, there was absolutely nothing wrong with our compressor, as the NexGen rep alleged. Total cost for parts and labor to Novak: $375!!

Jose also looked at my furnace in the attic which the NexGen rep said also was in need of several repairs (costing upwards of $5K). Jose confirmed that the furnace looked good and no parts were in need of repair.

The bottom line: Novak was in and out within 30 minutes, fixed our issue, and their price was exceptionally reasonable. These guys are great/efficient at what they do, their rates are very reasonable, and, most importantly, they are honest and trustworthy and aren't going to try to scam you or upsell you. So, do yourself a favor next time you have any HVAC issues: call Ryan at Novak Mechanical first!

And never never ever risk getting scammed by NexGen!!! I didn't do my homework before reaching out to them, thinking my repair was an easy fix and that a larger company like NexGen would perhaps be able to accommodate me more quickly after a hot holiday weekend. As it turns out, it was an easy fix but I was shocked at how blatantly the NexGen folks tried to scam me out of in excess of $10K. So, if you are even considering using NexGen, do yourself a favor first and read all of the awful reviews on Google, Yelp, and the BBB about how deceptive and slick their practices are, all in the name of trying to upsell their customers!!!“
