So far so good. They were informative, professional, and we have cool air again on a 105-degree day. I would have liked to pay less, but LaVerne and Son seemed to be the most reasonable for the equipment and level of service they provided. They were pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 HVAC units, over a period of 3 days.

Description of Work: My home A/C system had a blockage and the TXV valve needed to be replaced. La Verne & Son was the most economical so I scheduled a time for the job. The original estimate was $600 but when the job was in progress I was told that the filter drier should be replaced at the same time. They gave me a break on the cost of the filter and the whole job was completed for $700 and the service technician was very efficient, professional and completed the job as scheduled.

Description of Work: Great company and great employees, installed a new 16seer 5ton combo unit with zoning and a swamp cooler for the garage. A little bit pricier than others that I received quotes from but when extra little things came up they didn't try to nickel and dime me to death, they just took care of it. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

it took him 5 hours. and he was more interested in trying to sell us a new AC unit then to just fix ours. We flat out told him we would NOT be buying a new unit from them, that he needed to find and fix the issues. we really got frustrated with the young fellow. but in the end he finally was able to fix the unot and get our AC working again.

Response from La Verne & Son Electrical AC
The problem Our technician found was a bad TXV. In order to replace the TXV he had to remove all the Freon from the evap. coil section, remove the TXV, install the new TXV, and remove existing filter drier and use a torch to braze in a new filter drier, pull system into a vacuum to evacuate contaminates and then recharge system with Freon. This is a very time consuming repair. The time our technician took is within the normal range of time for this type of repair. Anytime there is a major repair on a system we will offer Our Customer the option of replacing the system. If we did not offer this option and another major component were to fail shorty after the previous repair the Customer would be upset with us for not giving them all there options from the beginning. When you are working on older equipment, and major components fail, it is more likely that another major component will fail soon. Hopefully no other parts fail in this system in the near future. Thank You Rex LaVerne - Owner LaVerne & Son Electrical - A/C - Heating

Great. They are very helpful and answer all your questions.
Description of Work: The price I stated is for an annual maintenance contract I have with LaVerne and Son. The last service, they checked my heater and changed the filters in my vents. When I had a problem last April with my air conditioner, they were very responsive and came out the same day. They are great to work with and very professional.

Description of Work: My air conditioner stopped working on a Saturday in the summer of 2012. My grandchildren were staying with us, and it gets very hot here in the summer, over 100 degrees that weekend. I called LaVerne and sons on Saturday afternoon and the lady on the phone said they were booked for the rest of day, but they could be out first thing in the morning. He showed up right on time, diagnosed the problem and fixed the AC. Price was reasonable for a Sunday. He cleaned up everything, and it has worked well every since.

I could not be happier, very smooth and professional.
Description of Work: An electrical component on our air conditioner went out on an extremely hot August Saturday evening. I called up La Verne and Son about 7:30pm and was given an appointment time at 8:-9:30 sunday morning. He came at 9:15, diagnosed the problem and was on his way in 90 minutes. All things were left in better shape than they were found, clean as can be. Great job, good price for a Sunday, job well done!

They were fair and honest. They knew their business and what you needed. They didn't try to sell you anything else. They would have information on things. You can trust them.

They showed up the same day I called. Inspected my electrical box and the sauna. I was concerned I might not have enough room for another switch in my box. But they were able to find a place. They went to get some supplies, returned in a few hours and finished the job that day. They did a good - I was happy with the work.
