Westside Heating & Air Conditioning

I can't say a single bad thing about the experience--Ron was honest, diligent, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. His team that did the installation were polite, friendly, and very efficient. The overall experience was really pleasant and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

It was a great experience. Ron is very experienced, although somewhat cautious, which isn't a bad thing by any means. He assessed my needs including measuring the room and we explored several possible sites for the external unit. I called twice more with further questions and he even came out a second time. Mike his partner, showed up early in the morning of the install - looked carefully at the issues involved, solved or talked through with his helper all the possible problems and then set to work. They were efficient and fast, and finished that same day. They also did a good job of clean up. Ron recommended an electrician he uses on most of his work, Lyle Garcia of Garcia Electrical. He was also very good and very experienced. I will use Lyle now as my go to electrician. Overall, they get my highest rating.

Went extremely well as noted above.

Westside did a great job. Clearly have years of experience installing new HVAC systems.Terrific communication (quick response via phone and email), punctual, and genuinely concerned about utilizing the proper HVAC equipment/system for the size of my condo unit. Would definitely recommend. Will definitely use them to service the new HVAC system.

Westside Heating and AC was really great to work with from the first conversation about the work. I spoke to Ron about replacing our existing AC unit, which was really loud, large and didn't work well. He gave me options for replacement, was very patient explaining the differences in the units, etc. They came out to our house, looked over what we had and gave us a very complete bid and timeline. When it came time to do the work, the guys that showed up were really great. They communicated well, were very courteous and took care moving equipment through the house. Honestly, I was really happy to have a couple of guys who spoke English well doing the work. We've had various things done around here, and often have had some difficulty communicating with the the people who were doing the work. They got the job done on time, on budget and we're very happy with our new system. Great experience... I highly recommend Westside Heating and Air Conditioning.

the man was very friendly when he arrived the a/c had been giving me problems. He got straight to work and got the job done really fast and fixed the problem. He said he had to replace a broken capacitor and now the a/c works great its going to be a relaxing summer.

They were very professional and efficient. Explained what I needed and why. Submitted information for my review before determining what type of unit was needed.

Mike was prompt, courteous, and very professional. Our A/C suddenly became ineffective at cooling the air, and he came by the next day with a fast solution.

Basically all the reviews about westside are true. I had already meet with two other contractors but once I read all the reviews I new I had to give Westside a shot and I?m very happy I did. Mike, Ron and the whole team at Westside went out of their way to make sure everything was done the way it should be. They are extremely efficient and once decisions were made and permits were pulled everything moved along very fast. If you do your research before you get a system installed you will ultimately come to the conclusion that its not so much the equipment but its the people that install the system that is really important. I feel My system was installed the way it should be and that if any problems should arise Westside would always stand behind their work. Their pricing was very fair and feel they went out of their way to save me money when possible. If you have any heating or A/C needs I would definitely recommend them.

The entire process went really smoothly. After consulting Angie's List for recommended HVAC companies, we contacted Ron at Westside Heating & Cooling. Ron called us back quickly, came over and took a look at our newly-purchased house, and then gave us an estimate with different options--that way, we could decide exactly how much of the existing equipment we wanted to replace and how much we wanted to spend. After discussing the various options, we decided to replace the two existing HVAC units and replace the ductwork in the house (the house was built as a "spec home", and was almost 15 years old, so the existing units were pretty low-grade and the ductwork was old and dirty). Installation went well, as did the City inspection of the units. After the installation was finished, Ron has called me a couple of times, to make sure that we were happy with the work and happy with the new systems. I would highly recommend this company.

Met with Ron (co owner) who explained the different types of systems and made recommendations that exactly fit our needs and budget. He made several recommendations regarding a system that is quiet which was a major concern for us. Mike (co owner) and crew arrived as promised and completed the entire job in one day. Electric was installed the next day and Mike returned the next day to fine tune the system and show us how it works. Mike kept us informed as to what they were doing. The crew worked professionally and left the house cleaner than when they arrived. The system has performed better than our expectations. Westside is family owned and been in business for many years. They are proud of their reputation and work hard to maintain it. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Responsive, low pressure bid for the job. Quick and easy to schedule. Fast, professional installation with no mess. Matt, who led the crew doing installation was happy to answer my detailed questions and review all of his team's work with me. Electrical work was not included in the quote but coordinated by Westside with a great electrician, Lyle Garcia, who works with the Westside team. Garcia provided a few additional on-the-spot services for me at very reasonable cost.

Told me that it did not need refrigerant ( this is often where air con service companies can rip you off). Was punctual and clean.

I originally called Westside, to address a fan that wouldn't turn off, and my system was evaluated and recommendations made. I had three proposals from other providers, but Ron's proposal was not only less expensive but addressed issues of reducing the requirement for energy usage, and assuring that the system addressed all my concerns and provided the coverage I needed. They arrived exactly on time completed the work in exactly the time that was estimated. They cleaned up so that everything was clean and tidy when they left. I highly recommend Ron, John and Westside to anyone who needs to replace a heating and air-conditioning system.

So quick so easy. Kathy was really great maneuvering things so I got a convenient appointment time next day. Mike showed up early, was polite and professional and lightening fast. From my first inquiry on Angie's List to a fixed HVAC was basically the interval between dinner on Wednesday evening and breakfast in Thursday morning. Impressive. Nice work gang.

My experience with Ron (co-owner) and his team was fantastic. It began with Ron visiting my home and thoroughly inspecting the existing system that I had at the time. Ron made the necessary calculations and provided me a variety of options, each of which he explained at a level that made sense to me (I am not a heating-A/C expert). He was clearly more knowledgeable about creating efficient zoned heating than the others I interviewed for the job, and his cost was reasonable. It took two days to install the system, just as he predicted, and the cost was exactly as he had bid it. Mike (co-owner) headed the installation team and was fantastic. The team arrived on time and great care was taken to protect my carpets, walls, etc. There was no subcontracting of any of the work. The installation team also included Matt (Ron?s son) and Jay. Mike made sure that I understood how to use the wireless digital controls and answered all of my questions. I also appreciated the follow-up calls that I received, checking to ensure that I was content with everything, which I certainly was (and am). While I am two years late in writing this review, it has given me two years to experience the system they installed and report here that it has performed flawlessly. Before the system was installed, the main floor was always 3-5 degrees cooler than the top floor. Now both floors are efficiently maintained at the same temperature (they are on different zones and so have individual controls). In addition, my daughter?s room is on a zone by itself, which allows her to independently control the room temperature with her own wireless digital thermostat. Her room is not large and I have noticed no appreciable gas cost increase due to her keeping the room very warm all year round. The heater, combined with the Harmony Zoning System, is automatically used in a very intelligent/efficient manner. In addition, it is a much quieter heater than I had previously. Lastly, the wireless digital thermostats are simple to use but powerful in the flexibility they provide. In summary, Westside Heating & A/C are consummate professionals who provide phenomenal service at a reasonable cost. If you want a zoned system that efficiently maintains your entire home at a uniform temperature, or wildly different if you so choose, I highly recommend that you look no further, Ron and his team are the answer.

He was excellent, knowledgeable and efficient.

Ron came out promptly and looked at our system. He gave us several options and detailed the costs of each. He seemed very experienced and knowledgeable. We liked the fact that this was a local business (also a family business) with long-time employees; licensed, insured, and bonded; and had received very good reviews on Angie's List. We felt confident in Ron's recommendations re: the type of heating system for our home. When we agreed to purchase the system, Ron scheduled the installation. Mike, Matt, and Jay came out for the installation. They were prompt, professional, and accommodating. They trained us on the operation of the new system and answered all of our questions. Ron handled the permit process professionally and the job passed inspection very smoothly. We highly recommend the team at Westside Heating.

Westside plumbing and heating replaced my old wall heater. I checked Angies list and found them. They were a local company that had great reviews. I agree with the reviews. I got the estimate the same day I called. Two days later they came and did the work. Excellent in all aspects. I will definitely call again as I know I will also need plumbing work in the future. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!

First in a nutshell (more detailed review below.) Mike came on time, performed the task flawlessly, his technical skills were obvious, the best I have seen (I am an engineer.) He also noticed a broken PVC condensate pipe, which he replaced and repaired at no charge. He left the place clean and tidy both inside and out. I would recommend him heartily, and we will use his services in the future. We asked for three other estimates, they all would have replaced the ducts (all the ducts, in and outside the house!) Of course this is a very expensive job. None of the others measured airflow in the existing ducts. Mike knew how to do this and actually drilled two holes (one in the source and one in the return ducts) and by measuring the temperature difference he could measure the airflow. This is good technical knowhow. Instead of replacing all the ducts, he proposed installing dampers in various ducts to make the air go where it was not going before. This was a much less expensive fix both in parts and labor. He saved us thousands of dollars. He was very honest with us and did not fix what did not need fixing. For example, he did not replace the AC/heating unit because he estimated it may live for a few more years. It is clear he wanted to do the best work for a reasonable expense. His company gets my highest rating: A+++.

Family run business, showed on time, professional, worked steadily until job was done including cleaned up. Just in time for a cold spell.

AC would not work. I phoned Westside Heating & AC, explained the problem and provided my contact. Kathy(?), in the office, politely informed me she would try to take care of me today. Within thirty-nine minutes, Mike rang and assured me he would arrive shortly. Twenty minutes later Mike arrived. With 25 plus years experience under his belt, Mike wasted no time getting busy. He swiftly began troubleshooting. Tools in hand he found no power to the unit. I walked him to the circuit breakers and he flipped the breaker. Power to the unit was restored, fan blew, but no cool air. Not yet. Mike wisely retrieved his gauges and checked the FREON PESSURE. The gauges registered 500psi! Optimum should be between 200psi and 290psi. The jackasses who previously serviced the unit, not having Mike's 25 plus years of experience, failed to thoroughly inspect the unit and thereby foolishly raised the freon to dangerous levels putting the compressor, unit, and home in jeopardy. As Mike deftly corrected their amateur error he explained the unit was not functioning as a direct result of its freon level hovering at 500psi. Normal level restored. Mike checked and re-checked his work, the unit and the accompanying furnace, return and filter inside. Throughout the restoration we talked shop and had a couple laughs without Mike breaking his stride. Real pro. Mike gathered his equipment. I paid Mike. Mike drove away. Job well done.

FANTASTIC. I'm a general contractor myself, and I've used other heating and air guys, but Ron and his guys are the best. The other folks I've used always come with complaints (it heats unevenly, it doesn't cool adequately, it makes noise, etc.). They always have call-backs. But not so with Ron and his guys. If Ron says this is what you need, and this is what we're going to do for the dollars, then its gonna work, first time and every time. The last two jobs I had, I had bids from 5 HVAC companies each, and Ron's prices are just shy of the average. He's not the cheapest and he's far from the most expensive. I've hired the cheapest (they come with problems). Ron's crew shows up on time, installs the system properly, they have all the parts to do the job, they work clean, they're all professional and respectful of the people and property, and the system works. I've never had a complaint about his work. I'm done horsing around with others. Ron's my guy from now on. . (period)

Very professional, knew the product well, and did exactly what they proposed to do. Work was done excellently, area was cleaned up well afterwards. My questions were answered promptly, and follow up was quick. They even did more work than was on the proposal without charge. I was very impressed with the care and attention I received. I was going to use another angie list service provider until Westside came to provide an estimate. It was no question after I met with them, who I was going to use. So glad I chose Westside.

Very smooth operation. No fuss...no trouble..no drama. Total pros.
