Los Angeles Ductwork Replacment

Charlie came to the house, inspected the ductwork. Much of it was improperly installed - his opinion was in line with that of a previous mold inspector that had come to the house. Charlie had an associate who custom fabricates and installs ductwork come that afternoon to give us a quote and he started the same day. Came back on a saturday to finish and Charlie was there on Tuesday morning. The crew were quick, efficient, and apparently pretty effective. Very happy with the experience.

Mr. Kappl was recommended by my electrician. I checked on Angie's list to verify that Kappl Heating and Air was a good company. I had him come out to give me an estimate to replace my old ductwork. He was friendly, knowledgeable, discussed various options to improve air quality in our home, and sent an estimate by email detailing the work to be completed and the materials that would be used. Of the three estimates I received from companies, Mr. Kappl's was not the least expensive, but his attention to important factors, (sealing all air vents and other openings, cleaning crawlspace and box under hvac unit, and using high grade materials) was impressive. One company quoted twice as much money for the same work and materials, and the other company was $400.00 under Mr. Kappl"s quote, but offered no detail as to the work he would do or what materials would be used. The best part was when Mr. Kappl's workers came to do the job. Sergio and Dylan were on time, very personable, answered my many questions throughout the two days of worK, took great care to keep all work areas clean each day. They worked efficiently, and made sure the heat/air unit was usable after the first day so that we would not be without heat for the next day. They took pictures of the old ducting in the attic, and discussed the amount of rodent damage and rat droppings in the ducts. They recommended we find a company to seal up entry holes in attic and crawlspace so that rodents would not begin to chew our new ducting. All the old ducting was carefully wrapped and removed from our house. I was very pleased with the quality of work by Kappl Heating and Air Conditioning, the boss, workers, and office staff. I will definitely use them in the future. They are honest, eager to please, and do fine work.

Upon moving into our new home, we noticed that all of the supply registers and adjacent walls had been blackened by the air that had come through over time. Additionally, we had seen the prior owner?s utility bills, and knew they were very high. An insulation contractor, upon seeing the attic, suggested that we might want to replace the ductwork in the attic instead of sealing it. We became concerned that we might have asbestos in the ducts, and had lived in the house for 3 weeks without daring to turn on the A/C. I received three referrals, but chose Banner Heating and Air Conditioning because I learned the owner, Abbey Borghei, has an engineering background and 30 years of experience in this field, in addition to a stellar reputation. I already had high expectations, but Abbey exceeded them because of his integrity, consulting skills, professionalism, and his attention to detail and quality. He personally supervises each job, and took the time to review the work with us after it was completed, showing us the new features and calling attention to any small compromises made, asking us was that acceptable or did we want them to take an alternative route. He made sure we understood what is required to maintain our systems and air quality, so that we avoid future problems. We thought we didn?t have an air filter, because there was nothing behind our return register except dirty plenum, but Abbey found it underneath the furnace, which helped explain why it had not been changed in a year. He moved it from that difficult-to-access place to a much more convenient location inside the return register. I had a thermostat from my prior home, something I had bought on Amazon that turned out not to be easy to install, and Abbey took the time to figure out how to make it work in our new home ? free of charge. Abbey is a good listener and took note of our priorities. He is one of those rare contractors who can place himself in the buyer?s shoes and present a comprehensive solution, making many suggestions consistent with our goals and priorities, and providing referrals to other contractors we might want to use. I learned a lot of valuable things about my house from Abbey, and now we have peace of mind, as well as cool air, when we turn on the A/C.

He told me I needed approximately $3000 of new ductwork and could not perform any work. I had a second opinion who said my air ducts were fine and did not need replacing or cleaning.

The original estimate was done professionally; my follow up questions and concerns were addressed quickly and professionally. The job was completed within the time specified and was again done professionally. I highly recommend this firm. I would use them again.

I've lived in my modular home for 10 years now and felt it needed to be done. The former owners had never done anything and I could see dirt, and some junk whenever I took off the covers and looked into the air ducts. I was so pleased with the service. They did a very professional job of cleaning and sanitizing all my ductwork. Just made me feel better knowing I wasn't breathing air that had come through dirty filthy ductwork.

Despite the work not being done, my experience was excellent. I would definitely refer people to Air Duct Professionals.

Great job from inspection and quote process to work done. Gary understood what we wanted and made sure we received a full inspection and quote for our best interest (and future upgrades) as well as specific quote for exactly what we asked for, which was only replacement ductwork. I am happy to know what other things we can do to improve our home without pressure to do it all right now. I feel this adds to professionalism with understanding of budgets and priorities. The materials and work quality are stellar.

We had an excellent rapport and they did a great job in installing the ductwork. Very little ductwork can be seen in the house! They were very considerate of our time and space. Victor established good working conditions from the very beginning working with his men. Yuri was always very helpful and accomodating in setting up the contract and going according to our wishes. he installed a 2 zone Wi-Fi system that allows us to control each floor individually. After a month of the system, we are very happy with the results. They did the work inside of a week, sometimes working well into the evening to get the electronic system working just right. We found Yuri highly recommended through Angies and would also recommend UMC to anyone else.

I needed to replace my 25 year-old heater when it stopped working. I got several bids and after asking enough questions about the work needed to be done and heaters in general, I realized that most of the bids were in the ball-park money wise. I chose Westside Heating and Air Conditioning for two reasons ~ 1. The owner of the company, Ron Winkelman, came to my house and took the time to explain completely how the installation process would be done. He answered my many questions so that I could understand everything and be comfortable with my decision. He was thorough and knew what he was talking about. 2. The fact that his company is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau (which I check whenever making decisions involving who I deal with!) The first day he sent out an employee to start the removal of most of the old system and followed up on the second day with a full crew including his partner, Mike Kerr, to install the new heater and ductwork. Everyone was very professional and I hardly knew that they were working in my home to complete the job. They were courteous, efficient and knowledgeable in every aspect. When the job was done, they took the time to show me how to operate the new system. They cleaned up and removed all of the remnants of the old system. The new heater has worked great throughout the winter and was much quieter than the old system which was an unexpected bonus! Plus, they had included a great new air filter that keeps the house much "fresher". What a great experience! I should have done this years ago. Thank You Westside!
