"The thermocouple wire on my Whirlpool water heater was worn out and Frank Sanchez came over on a Sunday morning (3/23/2025) to fix it. I bought a replacement thermocouple (approx $20) the day before from a local appliance parts dealer and Frank installed it. Cost to install the new thermocouple wire was $200. Frank was knowledgeable, competent and fast and I haven't had any more problems with the water heater since then. I'm a happy customer. Thank you Frank!!!"

In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"My husband and I recently installed AC in our San Diego house. If youâ re a longtime local, you know how necessary it is these days. We struggled through the last few years with portable units which we installed in all our bedrooms, but they were bulky and loud. About 2 years ago, we started getting quotes. Every quote was between $12,000-$15,000. It was really shocking to learn how expensive air conditioning is. We were later told by a friend that the high cost is partly due to demand. We decided to save up money for it, and continued asking friends and neighbors for referrals. Finally, we were referred to Ulises Castaneda at Heating and Cooling Aid. This is Ulises' own company, and while heâ s small, heâ s extremely professional. He came out and explained why our house was not a one-size fits all solution, and recommended a mini-split system. We live in a canyon, and our house is not on flat ground all around. And the best part was his price was very competitive. We scheduled the job and over the course of 2 days they installed the system. He took care of the permits, and inspections. It was very easy. They also cleaned everything up well, and it was hard to tell they had been here. The system they installed is manufactured by Daikin, and it is unobtrusive, and very quiet. We are extremely happy with the outcome, our sleep has been fantastic, and we can highly recommend Ulises and his team."

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

Yes, a once-a-year tune-up keeps the system efficient and helps it last longer. During the visit, a technician cleans coils, checks electrical connections, and swaps or cleans the filter. Catching small issues now stops bigger, pricier failures later, so that a quick appointment saves money and stress over the life of the unit.

Changing your AC filter every 30 days is necessary to maintain optimal performance and high indoor air quality. Regular filter replacement prevents dust buildup, ensures efficient airflow, and protects the system from stress that could lead to costly repairs. This disciplined maintenance routine not only boosts energy efficiency but also prolongs the lifespan of your unit by safeguarding its critical components.

An HVAC service plan is worth the cost, especially if you forget to schedule maintenance on your own. A service plan locks in yearly (or twice-yearly) visits, allowing a professional to identify small problems early, clean key components, and maintain energy efficiency. Many plans also include minor repairs or priority scheduling, which can pay for themselves if an unexpected issue pops up.

In a pre-season service visit, your technician gives your system a top-to-bottom check before peak season hits. Expect a filter change, thermostat test, condenser-line flush, electrical-connection check, and coil cleaning. They also tighten loose parts and make minor adjustments so the unit fires up without surprises when temperatures swing. That quick tune-up cuts the risk of mid-season breakdowns and keeps energy use in line.
