"Review I left on Google. We had an amazing experience with Smart Heating and Air Conditioning. Our tech, Juan, was on time, courteous and knowledgeable. He fixed the problem quickly and offered expert assistance in setting up an ongoing maintenance plan for our 35+ year old furnace. Also, he was engaging, and focused on the customer experience. You’ve got a great employee in Juan Rodriguez Pinto. He made me want to be a recurring costumer to your business. Which, as a person who works in costumer service myself, is the highest praise I can give. In fact, the entire process for our service was seamlessly executed. From reaching out through Angi, to communications with Suzy in the office, all the way to a working furnace. It all added to a perfect customer experience. Thanks"

"We chose repair of a very old air conditioning unit due to the cost of a new unit. It is working now but we have no guarantee of for how long. Global responded quickly and repaired the unit within hours."

"Excellent customer service. Responded immediately. Sent a technician out the next day, and that tech kept me abreast of when I could expect him when there was a delay and then showed up and was incredibly kind and professional and good at his job. It was a wonderful experience."

"Highly recommend Alanis Air! I own a commercial property and when one of my tenants called about an ongoing issue, John came out and brought his team to quickly diagnose. Explained the pros and cons of repairing compared to replacing. Was genuine and gave me a price I could not pass up. Coordinated the project with the tenant and replaced the whole system smoothly with zero business interruptions. Tenants are more than satisfied with the new system and extended their lease. Excellent service, gentlemen. Thank you Alanis Air!"

"Vendor was responsive in scheduling visit.  However, they did not show up until about a couple of hours beyond a 2 hour window so ended up waiting for several hours with my tenant.  Was told coupon could not be used because there was malfunction in AC (ended up using coupon at another rental).  Did not fix problem but quoted replacement unit that turned out to be quite high.  Another vendor eventually addressed the issue by cleaning the unit.

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Berkeley, CA

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
