Quick Heating Cooling
About us
My name is Prospero Cabrera, my interest in the appliances and HVAC-R business is due to my family history, in which I formally worked under. With further attraction, I decided to have a better foundation and understanding of HVAC-R by attending technical school for residential and commercial. With enough knowledge and experience, I opened my business through the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair in 1998 under the name Quick Appliance Repair. Later in 2006, I incorporated with the name Quick Appliance Service Corporation. In 2010 I passed the exam from the California Contractor State License Board Classification C-20; license #954931, allowing me to work in heating and air conditioning. I currently service residential appliances, but specialize in heating, air conditioning and refrigeration. I will continue to proceed with higher education and remain current with knowledge for the pool of my trade.

I worked directly with Prospero and all criteria were met (in my opion) that signify a high-quality professional service. He was extremely knowledgeable about the material. Laid out several options, and his plan to troubleshoot ahead of time; including the rough costs of what each step could entail. The whole process was fast and we determined that I had a couple options: refurbish, or replace. He gave me an up-front cost for out-the-door replacement. He is a Bryant dealer, so the price was for the recommended Bryant model suitable for my size house. Following this, I did my online research and reviewed another quote from a comparable provider (different brand etc.).
After we made the decision to replace, we decided to also go with Quick for the replacement. Scheduling worked out perfectly, and Prospero was able to come the next day to do the work. He said up-front that he would be there at 8AM and they would be done by 2 - and I swear my doorbell rang at 8AM, and I signed the final check at 2PM. This included clean-up, lots of questions from me, and burn-in for the new furnace - I was very pleasantly surprised.
Out-the-door pricing included:
New Furnace
New exhaust configuration
New air return config
New air filter config
New air filter
Adapt to existing heating runs
Improvement and insulation of existing plenum and ducting
Disposal of old heating unit
Clean-up (my garage was cleaner when they left than when they arrived)
I had a very good experience with Quick, and am happy to write a positive review for them.
"Hello (member name removed), I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. In 2013, my appointments were done in two hour windows. Usually, If I am done early with a job, I check in with the next appt. to let them know I can be there earlier. I do value my customers time. Thank you for your feedback."
"Hello [member name removed], Thank you for you valued business and happy holidays."
The first appointment was scheduled within 24 hours even on a holiday weekend (July 4th). The guy who came out, Mike, was very professional and friendly - and arrived within his two hour window. Overall the service from Mike was excellent, he diagnosed everything very quickly, within 20 minutes, and mentioned that he would have to come back when he had the part to fix the washer.
From there, it was a busy five days of followup for me. I have a feeling if I didn't call the next day (Tue) or follow up, Quick Appliance Service would just happily take new customers and forget about me. It took me calling a few times the next day to finally get a response that they don't have the part and would have to order it. I chose the extra expedited shipping fee, but they wouldn't set up a new appointment until the part was on hand. Ok... guaranteed 3 day shipping from Tue should arrive on Fri... I should have an appointment Fri or Sat. But no... so I called back on Fri a few times in the morning, the response was that they had to check to see if the part arrived and would call me back. No callback, I tried a few more times at 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm. I finally gave up after 6pm since I kept getting the answering machine and no one was returning my calls. I woke up early on Sat to call in right when Quick Appliance Service opened... got a live person @ 7:30 AM. They do have the part, did I get the phone message? No, checked all my messages, nothing from Quick Appliance Service. However, it looks like Mike is booked all day today (Sat), I griped a bit saying that I have been calling, and I did pay double for the 3day shipping. So the receptionist said she'd check with Mike.
30min later, I called back -- yes Mike can come out late that day. Great. He came out, fixed the washer, and order was closed.
I'm happy with the repair, I thought the repairman - Mike - was great. He even made an effort to come out late in the day, I believe I was the last service call for him that day. Good work, professional, friendly, good service from Mike.
It just seems like if I didn't keep calling for a followup that my washer wouldn't be repaired for 2-3 wks. My advice is that Quick Appliance Service is a good company, especially if they can fix the problem on the first visit, but you need to remind them if you're waiting for them to complete the service on followup visits.
