"We just had a new HVAC system installed in our home in Aliso Viejo. The contractor was Cool Air Technologies, Bill McIntosh, (714)863-0626. We were very impressed with the new unit put in the attic and back yard, the workmanship, the professionalism, the quick response time to get our appointment, the testing of the new units before they left, the lessons for us on how to use it, and the complete clean up and hauling every piece of the old unit away when they left. They even installed new air vents/registers in every room and air filters! Very impressive and highly recommended to everyone! [*** Link removed ***]"

"My least favorite part of owning a home is paying for it. That's probably true for most people, but I find it very difficult to part with a dollar. For that reason, about 10 years ago, when my air conditioning died, I told my family we were going to live without it - I grew up without air conditioning and did just fine. About 2 years ago, the furnace started to give us a little trouble as well, and this year, before the winter started in earnest, it died too. Both systems dated to 1977 (I bought the house in 2005). As soon as the cold weather kicked in this past year, I knew I was going to have to have everything replaced. The extreme cold this year, plus the unreasonably hot summer in 2022...well, it was time to fix things. I got on Angie's list to find some contractors. I stuck with people with 5 stars (or as close as possible) and over 100 reviews, and had about 8 different outfits come by to look at the job and give me bids. It took a while, but when you are looking to have to spend 25-30,000 dollars, you want to make sure it doesn't go to waste. I found that, even with 5 stars, a company might not be too impressive when they come by to look at a job. One company tried to hard sell me with fancy brochures and pressure tactics. Another opened up our discussion by saying that he "refuses to pull permits - it saves us both money," and that he insisted on installing a furnace that did not comply with county emissions standards, because "it'll be nothing but problems if you follow the rules." Gustavo, from GC Heating and Cooling, struck me as a cut above the rest of the guys that showed up. First off, the first thing he wanted to do was see the current system himself, despite being the owner of the company and not a young man. He and I climbed into the attic - the fact that he invited me to check it out was cool - and after he saw everything, we sat down to talk. He was patient and kind - I felt like he was excited about doing the job, excited about how he could improve the situation of our house, and he wanted to communicate that excitement to me. I told him what we wanted to do, and he gave me several options to accomplish the goal - of course, as a professional with a college degree in mechanical engineering, he had an opinion about which was the best option for us, but (and this is a testament to his honesty) crucially, his "best" option was not the most expensive option. After we were done talking, he gave me a very fair price (I base my opinion on the other estimates I got), told me that no matter what happened on the job he would not increase the price, and told me to call him if I liked what he had to say. Let me make this long story a little bit longer - I chose Gustavo to get the job done, and I'm grateful to him and his crew for getting the job done in as excellent and efficient a manner as I could have hoped. His crew is clean and polite, and they work quietly and quickly, always cleaning up after themselves. Any time I pointed out a problem, they fixed it. Any time I had a question, they answered it. To be honest, these guys were so cool, it made me not want to go to work on the Friday they started the job so I could work with them and maybe learn something! They wrapped up a full HVAC job, removing all of the old equipment and installing the new, in a 2400 square foot house, in two and a half days. The whole time, Gustavo was running the show, keeping tabs on his guys, making sure things were running smoothly, and always answering all of my questions. On the final walk though for the job, when everything was done, he was still excited about the work, showing me all the different stuff he and his crew had done. Believe me, I was glad to shake the guy's hand and thank him and his team for a job well done. Gustavo's secret, if you ask me? He likes people, and he likes helping them out. He's got a lot of energy, and he directs it in a very positive way. All of that, and he's an expert in his craft. My recommendation to you, dear reader, is: hire Gustavo for your HVAC needs. I'm sure glad I did!"

"Joseph Rand was my technician. He did an excellent job of listening to what I wanted and then going above and beyond in providing what I asked for. I wanted to proactively replace my 23 year old water heater. With his guidance I ended up with a solid dependable water heater expertly installed. He clearly explained various water heater attributes and warranty options. His attention to detail was evident in his clean up and checking of fixtures before leaving."

"Very in detail description of what needed to get done and the why behind it. Awesome job, professional, answered every question on why my central AC was strong on first floor but very weak in second floor. Air handler moved from bottom floor to upstairs attic, higher capacity central AC and all ducts changed. Beautiful work done in 3 days with detailed report of what was done. Fair price for the job done. Before and after."

"After recovering from a horrendous experience with Service Champions (NEVER EVER call them), I got several other quotes to completely replace my old AC system. Brandon and HD had the most competitive quote, great reviews and were very personable and professional. They installed entire new system and did a great job in a timely manner. I highly recommend!"

"We had Temp Air install our AC unit. The best decision we ever made. They were fast, reliable and dependable. Excellent customer service, did a phenomenal job. After a couple of years something was going on with our unit, I called them and immediately they send out a technician Juan, who was phenomenal. He explained what the issue was and resolved it asap! Highly recommend this company!"

"Absolutely pleased with the work done by Ionel. You could tell that he was very experienced with HVAC right away and was honest about our old unit. Installation was quick, clean, and professionally done. Would highly recommend."

"Very knowledgeable, professional, and great customer service! Penguin, serviced our central AC & Heat and they explained everything to us before performing the work. They also replaced our moldy insulation in our attic. They packed and transported the old moldy insulations, ensuring that the mold does not spread, and they left our house free of any mess. I'd recommend Penguin Heating and Air to anybody in need of AC/Heat service, repair, or installation."
