"Sean was great about repairing my disconnected dryer air duct having to go into the crawl space and figure out what was going on. I'm glad he was able to get it done very quickly as well. He also had a very good attitude about doing the work."

"We had our tankless water heater drained - annual maintenance. They show up when they say they will and do it right the first time. In the past we've had issues with AC's, plumbing and more. Evey time they've exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend them for any heating, AC or plumbing. We've used them for well over 20 years and wouldn't want anyone else. They are the best."

"Michael, James, Keith were all GREAT! I received about 5 estimates for replacing an original 32 year old split level Rheem system. Oasis was neither the least expensive but certainly not the most expensive. They have only been in business a short while but I took a chance with them and they delivered! Prompt, flexible pricing, clean work, friendly. A complete system including duct work and I hardly even knew they were here working. I whole heartedly recommend these guys! (And I do not write reviews!)"

"I emailed HomeAdvisor for a AC repair at about 11pm last night. In the morning I had 3 companies sent to me by HA. I read the reviews and emailed 2. They both got back to me right away, one couldnâ t get to me until next Tuesday, the other called me at 7:45am and asked me what type of problem we were experiencing and that they could be at the house between 8:30-9:30am...that same morning! We said come on down and they were there at about 8:45, completed the repair and checked the system and gone in an hour. The cost was very reasonable. We would hire them again! Thanks Tom!"

"We recently had Same Day Heating and Air Conditioning come to our house to inspect our furnaces before turning the furnaces on during the cooler winter months and they discovered that both units had gas leaks. The system is 20 years old so it wasnâ t a complete surprise although we had hoped to put off replacing them for about 1-2 years. The technician/ inspector was knowledgeable, thorough and professional in showing us pictures of the worn, damaged furnaces (2). He explained the options for repairs and replacement as well as pricing considerations. In the end we decided to have them install 2 new furnaces and 2 new heat pumps to replace our old AC units. The installation was scheduled and completed within a short time frame and done with as little disruption to our home and family as possible. Efficient and neat in their work, I can happily recommend Same Day Heating and AC. I am very reassured knowing that my furnaces and heat pumps can effectively and safely heat and cool our home for our family. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to protecting your family."

"Did a great job...it was a very long day from start to finish however. They did a great job of keeping everything as clean as they could since our attic access was in the master closet! Yikes! Really made a difference and our house stayed much cooler with the fan and new insulation!"

"Up front summary - I found Carini Heating and Air Conditioning to be very courteous, very professional and very expensive! I used a $69 Angie's List deal to have Carini visit my home for an Air Conditioning Tune-Up. I recommend this service as San Diego begins to reach high temperatures and increased running of AC. Carini Service Technician Anthony D. arrived on time for the scheduled appointment. Anthony immediately impressed me with his courtesy, professional knowledge and desire to educate me (the customer) on AC system operation. Anthony had a complete set of AC diagnostic tools. He quickly identified the AC system was not cooling properly due to insufficient levels of R-22 freon. This didn't surprise me as it had been a few years since freon had been added. What did surprise me was Carini's high prices quoted to fill the refrigerant: $215 for the first pound and $89 for each subsequent pound. Also surprising is that Carini only charges in full pounds. Therefore if you require 1.2 pounds you are charged for two pounds... I really do not understand this pricing policy. I approved the service as I didn't want to make another service call. Anthony added the refrigerant and now our AC unit cools much more efficiently. Kudos to Anthony D. for very professional service but some negative marks to Carini for a prohibitively expensive pricing policy."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are many recognizable symptoms of AC compressor failure. They include loud banging noises, hot air being continually circulated in your home despite running the AC at full blast, uneven airflow and cooling, and electrical issues like constant surges due to the compressor working overtime. While some of these symptoms, like uneven cooling, can have other root causes, they are common indicators of compressor problems.

If there’s a freon leak in your home’s AC unit, it will cause the system to work overtime to cool the house. That issue will result in higher energy bills and it will take much longer for cool air to disperse throughout the home. If your system has a freon leak during the summer, it can make hot days miserable. That’s why it’s important to hire an HVAC professional to resolve a freon leak as quickly as possible.

Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

Most experts recommend getting three to five HVAC quotes from licensed, insured, reputable local heating and cooling companies. Getting multiple detailed HVAC quotes (but not too many) lets you compare the equipment, services, and prices of several contractors without being overwhelmed by options. It can also let you see if one contractor’s prices are much higher or lower than the others and give you a chance to ask for clarification. That way, you can weed out any contractors who aren’t providing quality services or materials and find the company that best meets your budget, quality requirements, and long-term goals.
