"Prompt, courteous, hard working! Called for service and they came the same day and gave me an estimate for repair and an estimate for a new furnace! I decided on a new furnace as mine was 18 years old! They came the next morning and were done within 2 hours! The thing I liked most was they didnâ t pressure me at all but waited patiently for my decision!"

"Can not imagine a better response, starting with my call for assistance, response time and how the technician, Tad methodically diagnosed the problem. We have an obscure kitchen fixture that required service in Feb 2019. Under warranty the problem was easily diagnosed by me, a problem possibly caused by me and a replacement part sent and installed by Albert Nahman team. Problem: I broke the faucet cartridge. Current Problem: restricted hot water flow in this kitchen sink only. Turns out the new cartridge part is now malfunctioning. I called and Tad arrived taking a step by step approach ruling out possible causes: a clog here or there, build up of sediment, or blockage in the lines or cartridge. The company that sells the product got on the phone with Tad and they collaborated on the problem and the tech person gave Tad one more thing to try. After the collaboration it is agreed, problem persisted and therefore that new cartridge part is now malfunctioning and will be shipped free of charge in two days. Thanks to all, who made this possible and I trust we will have Tad here again soon to finalize this fix. BTW, cost of service was less than expected given going rates for such a call lasting in excess of one hour. Another comment, spending time with Tad during the repair was a pleasure to have him explain, collaborate, listen and just chat. Questions on who to call next time, no question who I will call next time. I have read criticism of costs: In the Berkeley area "How much does it cost to hire a plumber? Some plumbers have a minimum fee for a service call. They might charge anywhere from $175-250 to come out and give you a consultation. Plumbers may give you a general service rate of $128-148 per hour when there are a lot of unknowns about a project and they aren't sure how long it will take. Some charge a flat rate for their plumbing services. For example, you may get charged $175 for a sink or drain cleaning, while toilet installation costs $500." Today costs are upfront, same as charges in Feb, $69 to arrive and assess the problem. Here in excess of one hour for $129 minus $25 coupon, total charge $173. I am ok and I expected these costs. If I was in Philly, where I grew up, I could call an uncle or cousin and get a better rate, a family rate. This is going rate for our area."

"Javier is an honest, reliable, and professional. Quickly assessed the problem; provided me all the options and reasons behind each. He was on time and even more importantly will let you know when or if he believes he is running late. Very responsive as well. Also, his prices or fees are reasonable. Generally as easy guy to work with. Will definitely use for any future HVAC needs and confident in referring him to a close friend."

"Jaime, the bid coordinator, had my wife sign a contract and acknowledge the 3-day **cooling** period. He indicated that he would have the office staff contact us to get us on the calendar. He accepted a credit card payment for the down payment. As far as I can tell, the paperwork was never turned in to scheduling as, after many days of waiting, I had to call them for an appointment. Additonally, on the day of the appointment, they were unable to find the signed contract and that had to be redone. I found the office staff professional and 5 star Pacific Coast Home Services charges a 3% or 3.5% service charge for using a credit card. I understand for a **mom-and-pop store** this might be okay, but for a company the size and scope of Pacific Coast Home Services, the service charge for credit card use is inappropriate and part of doing business. Thus, the companys Administration gets an overall rating of **2 stars** I found Justin, the Electrical Technician who did the work, **5 star**. He was professional, personable, and helpful. In total and on average, I give Pacific Coast Home Services **3 stars** I feel safe with the work they accomplished, but I would recommend getting competing quotes from other providers before deciding."

"Absolutely the best HVAC company in the area. If you are looking for a company for your HVAC needs, look no further. It is superb in every aspect: customer service, onsite specialist who did the inspection and quoting, technicians who installed the system. Their price is extremely competitive, especially for the high end systems. I was shopping for a 80% 2-stage furnace but I ended up getting a Lennox 99% variable-speed furnace because the price was too good to pass. But it is money well spent. It is so quiet and powerful. I highly recommend Air Sharks. They actually put a smile on our faces."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Millbrae, 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.
