"Bob Jenson sent 2 installers to put in 3 more mini splits this past Monday. Tony Guardarrama and Pouria arrived on time both Monday and Tuesday. They did an excellent job and I am very satisfied. It was not an easy installation, but they somehow managed to get it all done and no messes were left behind. I wholeheartedly recommend Bob Jenson AC & Heating."

"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"Out of four estimates this was a personal experience mom and pop compared to large companies. I am sure there are strengths for all, but for me, I liked that the owner was part of the solution. As such, be took extra time, only when I asked, to explain things to me. It felt personal and more importantly, I felt like his teams work was going to be on par with what he would do in his own home. The result was probably more than I needed, as was explained, but with the owner taking the time, I bought a larger, more expensive system. That was a big step. Then came the uncertainty of the install. That's where the experience and confidence shined. Many choices all met with concern, humor and care. It is pretty rare for me, today, to feel good about service providers in my home. Mostly met with mixed results and disappointment. My opinion is that should never happen and if it does the exception rather than the fearful expectation. These folks are too notch. I would encourage you to meet Ryan, the owner and I hope you have the outstanding experience I had."

"Excellent work.. AirTime replaced all ducting in a 25 year old home, and installed three HVAC systems. At my offices they replaced all ducting in a 30 year old building, and replaced three HVAC systems. At my beach property, they replaced ducting and installed new HVAC system. And at a rental property they replaced ducts and installed a new HVAC unit. In addition, they maintain all systems. All excellent."

"These guys are the best.I'm so glad I picked Point Loma Electric and Plumbing.My Hot water tank had rusted out at the bottom and was 15 yrs old.They came right away and installed the new tank the next morning.It was for a rental and I needed super fast service and I got it! I received my senior discount and new customer discount and there was a promo in addition on the tank. I could not be more happier with this company. And let me add Robert was very courteous and professional. I will always use Them in the future for my personal property or my rentals."

"The technician arrived on time, was extremely professional and very patient taking time to answer my questions regarding what I should be doing as a homeowner to maintain my system.
He started by sticking his head in the opening of my attic to look at the ducts & assessed what could/should be replaced. Then he inspected my AC unit, assessed its age and "state", opened the electrical panel to review the wiring, checked the refrigerant/flow and explained the basics of maintenance. We ended up going inside to look at the air filter and while their he conducted a similar inspection on my furnace. While my AC was running he used a surface thermometer to read temps at several of my registers. He took the time to explain how to clean my coil with a hose from the outside of the condenser and to take care not to use too high pressure.
In the end he made suggestions feel genuine and not like some high pressure sales tactic. I had a very positive experience and when he left I was happy to leave an A+ assessment on Angies list; however, when I reviewed what was supposed to be included in the "$39 for a Spring Air-Conditioning Tune-Up" that I paid for I realized I didn't do a good job in holding him responsible for executing everything in the package.
$39 for a 20-point Spring air-conditioning tune-up
Calibrating and leveling thermostat <- Didn't need doing I guess
Cleaning filters as needed <-- COMPLETE
Lubricating and inspecting bearings for wear  <-- didn't happen (maybe it didn't need to?)
Cleaning indoor coil (if accessible) <-- don't think it was accessible
Flushing and treating condensate drain with anti-algae product  <-- didn't happen
Inspecting condenser coil  <-- didn't get opened to look at
Monitoring operating pressures of refrigerant <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting safety devices for proper operation  <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting disconnect box for proper rating and installation <-- COMPLETE
Monitoring volts and amps on fan motor <-- Not sure
Tightening all electrical connections  <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting and testing contactor for burns and/or pits  <-- INSPECTED
Inspecting electrical for exposed wiring <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting and testing capacitors <-- INSPECTED
Inspecting fan blades <-- COMPLETE
Cleaning condenser coil and removing debris <-- Didn't happen
Inspecting service valves for proper operation <-- COMPLETE
Measuring temperature difference between supply and return <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting duct work for energy loss <-- wasn't thorough
Monitoring compressor for proper amp draw, volt draw, and wiring connections <-- Not sure
Reviewing the list after he left  I wish I would've insisted a better assessment of the ducting in my attic & that they cleaned the AC condenser coil. 
I don't think there was any willful negligence on the techs part to get out of work, and ultimately I think I paid a fair price for what was completed. Even though Excel Air missed a few things from the package I would use the company again and would even recommend them to friends with the caveat to make sure you know what services are to be rendered before they arrive (and not after like I did).

"Excellent work. Far surpassed expectations. Highly competent & professional from initial analysis of multiple problems and engineered a solution followed by a fast, efficient tear-out and installation by terrific crew to final clean-up. Excellent value. Job was professionally done the way the original installing HVAC contractor should have done years ago. Highly recommended."

"Very pleased with professionalism, quality and price. James, Keith and Quincy completed Al elements of heat and air new installation on time and to specifications. They communicated with us well about every step of the process. It was nice to have someone come into the home and just complete the work without any issues. Owner Michael was very clear without sales hype. Strong background and understanding of home needs."
