The quote was fair. Many other contractors hike their prices in Bakersfield during the summer. Hillcrest did not. They gave a fair estimate - much less then the other contractors. Did the replacement quick and easy within a morning. They had the crane on site when they said, got the old unit off the roof and then replaced with the new unit. They also replaced the thermostat with a wi-fi unit so the temp can be changed remotely. The only issue was the unit they quoted was a low end model so we requested a more efficient, high end unit that handles the Bakersfield hot summer nicely.
Description of Work: Replaced old HVAC system on roof with new HVAC.

Got three bids for our HVAC. The bid was the most reasonable but do your homework on the unit quoted as it was a low end model and we wanted a reliable system. We told them the equipment we wanted and they installed quickly with great service from Quinn.

It took only an hour to fix but charged us for the time he spent driving around town looking for the parts that he needed to fix the problem. Next time I will look for someone much more reasonably priced. $165 for first hour, then $110 for ever hour after that in just labor alone... Professional, curtious, prompt, but expensive...
Description of Work: He fixed an electrical boiler.

They always come out promptly. They always have someone at my house in far less than 24 hours. They are timely, prompt and come with their trucks well equipted. If there is something they need, they come back quickly. Their pricing is reasonable. They are kind from the get go and until completion.
Description of Work: They service my HVAC unit regularly.

I'm disappointed that they charged me for a second service call and annoyed that the system went out right after they came to perform a system check up. Additionally it isn't very professional not to know the correct measurements for filters.
Description of Work: I had just moved in to a new house and my electric bills seemed high. I called Hillcrest to come perform a general efficiency check on the entire A/C system. They arrive on time and are friendly and punctual. They check the system and make a few minor adjustments and charge me approx: $215. They also recommend I change my air filters and give me the measurements for the filters I need. About 36 hours after this service, my entire A/C system stops working completely. They came back out and changed out a solenoid and charged me another $150 for parts and the service call. They were not on-time (about 90 minutes late) for the second service call. Furthermore the measurements they gave me for one of the filters were incorrect which cost me an extra $15 and a second trip to Home Depot

I spent about $56 on the job. My dad had used them for years. So, he recommended them to me when I moved back. They are usually very prompt. If I call up to set up a service, they usually send somebody within the next couple of days. They provide great service. Their prices are competitive. They always do a good job; they are very thorough. They set up the time when they come out and they are punctual. I will be calling them again shortly.
Description of Work: I use Hillcrest Air twice a year for seasonal servicing for my air conditioning unit and furnace. The last time they came out was six months ago.

I use them because my dad used them for years. The technicians are punctual and easy to get hold of. I would say the price is reasonable, they are all about the same but I wish it were cheaper. They do offer a deal where if you pay one year in advance then you get a little bit of a discount. There was one time that a technician came out and told me I needed to have a wire repaired and I thought the estimate was a bit expensive and looking at it myself it didn't look like it was an urgent need.
Description of Work: Hillcrest Air does my seasonal AC and furnace inspections.

I called the company to have a condensation leak checked. The next day, technician inspected my HVAC equipment and we discussed options. I was told that a sales representative would quote me prices, for the options discussed. A sales representative, Todd, came to my house a few days later and we went over everything. Todd was very considerate of the cost for the various options and even suggested that I could verify what he was saying, with my own independent research. I agreed to have to work done. The quote was amended with a few more details. The work was completed to my complete satisfaction in less than one day. The technicians were well groomed and friendly. I would not hesitate to have them do work for me in the future.
Description of Work: Replacement of existing evaporator coil and condenser (split system). Installation of 16 inch damper. Installation of secondary condensate pan.
