In the same day as my initial call , they sent a technician. She was very informative, professional, and very empathetic to my budget and needs. The estimate was free and the quotes were reasonable. The next day, my ducting was replaced. Thank you One hour. I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family.
Description of Work: i needed my ducts replaced after removing rodents in my runs. They had eaten through my ducts and i needed an estimate to replace them.

Everyone from Big Air was incredibly professional. The estimator Ron was fast, friendly and responsive and was there on the first day of the install. The crew that came out was so professional. My house was spotless when they were done and the job was completed in a day and a half. I would recommend them to my Mom and she is the pickiest person I know. Thanks! Amy
Description of Work: I needed my old furnace removed and replaced and AC installed for the first time. I liked Big Air because they sell Trane units and according to my research they are the most reliable in terms of lasting and not needing repairs.

Description of Work: Installed new heating/ac system. I planned only to replace the a/c compressor. Got several estimates. The quote I received from Big Air was less than all other quotes and theirs included new heating system too. They had a little trouble finding my house but other than that, the entire job went off without a hitch. I plan to use them for service as well.

Called Thursday night when our air conditioner stopped working, message said the hours were 7 a.m to 4 p.m. Called the next morning after 7 and was told just the "guys" were there at 7 and the scheduling wasn't done until about 8:15. I called back at 8:15 and told them I wanted to see if they could come out today as I did not want to go all Labor Day weekend without air conditioning. I was told they could come out between 1 and 2 p.m. I got a call from the tech around 1 p.m. saying he was running about 30 minutes late. Then he called again at 2:30 and said it would be another 20 minutes, he was close by. He finally showed up at 4:10 and said it was our capacitor but that the office was closed and they couldn't get until Tuesday!!! Seems like something they should carry on their trucks and here we are with NO a/c all weekend. I would have called another company if they would have just been up front and told me they couldn't get out here in time. I have had this company install our air conditioner and heater, and have spent thousands with them...this is horrible customer service, especially for existing (not anymore tho) customers.

Response from Big Air Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
Sorry for delayed response. Logging on here for the first time, per the suggestion of an Angie's List rep. In researching this service call, I find that our last scheduled appointment with this customer was on 5/22/12. I do not have record in either the appointment software or our accounting software for a service call on Thursday 8/28/14. However, this customer IS one of our customers. We installed an air conditioner and coil for her in 2006 - with various service calls over the years since then. MY GUESS is, the fact that she does not show up in the system for 8/28/14 tells me, if she called us, that we DID do our very best to accommodate her with a 'rush' service call, fitting her into our day where we could get her in (not actually scheduling a time). We commonly try do this for our existing customers to provide them with faster service. We cannot bump other customers off the schedule, therefore, we tried to fit her in to an already full schedule, as time allowed. Unfortunately, the 'already scheduled calls' must have took longer than expected, preventing us from getting to her sooner (we maintain contact with the customer to let them know our ETA when this happens). It looks like we DID eventually make it to her home towards the end of the day, per Ms. Berro. Capacitors are commonly stocked on our service vans, however it's a popular part and it IS possible we ran out of our supply of capacitors that day. The Big Air office would have been open - we work until the work is done. However, the 'supply houses' close at 5pm and stay closed on holiday weekends. Since Ms. Berro does not show up in our system for 8/28/14, we also did not charge her for this diagnostic call since we couldn't help her. We're sorry we were unable to help Ms. Berro at that time. Sometimes the situation is beyond our control, especially on warm days near a holiday. We always do the best we can and we always try to take care of customers in a prompt manner. Customer service and a happy customer is our top priority.

I got 4 bids for installing a new furnace and accepted the one from Big Air because they were, by far, the lowest bidder and they would install a Trane furnace, which is the brand I wanted because I did some research and Trane was one of the best. A crew of 3 workers came on the date and time they promised and went right to work and completed the entire job by 4:30 PM, which was a little earlier than they promised. Not only was I satisfied with their work, but they did a lot of little extra things like caulk the wood stand the furnace stood on in order to keep the system well-sealed. They also blocked an area just inside the cold air return where the builder of the house forgot to enclose. Some heat had been escaping during transfer to the duct work. This had been going on during the whole time I have lived here (27 years). They did some other extra things that helped save energy, so I was 100% satisfied. All personnel in the work crew, plus Mr. Michael Santa Maria, the company president, who came over to give me their bid, were very helpful and professional and answered all my questions. I also need to mention, but I originally I went to Home Depot on another matter when I was helped by a floor man to get what I needed. I mentioned that I needed a furnace and did Home Depot do such a thing? I had gone to Lowe's and they had no one to install a new furnace. The floor worker, Brandon Marriott, gave me his business card and said someone would be contacting me soon about a bid. In a day or two I got a call from Mr. Santa Maria, and the rest is history. Perhaps having Home Depot involved in the job kept the price lower than all the others I contacted. I definitely would refer anybody to Big Air as they were super.
Description of Work: I bought an Angie's List "Special Deal" for heating and air conditioning wintertime tuneup from another company that I can't remember now (they are based in Hayward, CA). The tech came out and found a crack in the heat exchange unit and cautioned us about the possiblity of carbon monoxide poisoning. I was told not to use the furnace and to get a new one installed ASAP.

The service technicians should up on time and went straight to work. They finished the work ahead of schedule and did a great job of cleaninng up the work area after they had completed.The new A/C unit works great and we could not be happier with the work preformed.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner went out last September. We called around for estimates in May of this year. Of the people that came out they were the most professional and knowledgeable. They were the only ones that mentioned that permits would need to be pulled from the city before they could do any work. They were alos the only vendor certified to deal with asbestos so another party didn't need to be brought in to deal with the small amount of asbestos found in the duct work.We had the A/C unit and condenser replaced.

Mike, estimator/salesman/coordinator, was knowledgeable, informative and accessible throughout the job and afterwards. He had time to discuss my concerns, long after Big Air had my money. An earlier bidder strongly recommended replacing the ductwork. The estimate for that work was higher than the installed cost of the furnace. Mike didn't believe that my ductwork needed replacing, just some joint repairs, thus saving me a lot of $. The two young technicians who performed the work seemed very professional and efficiently completed the job within less than a day. The office staffer should also recieve credit. Within a couple of days, I received the permit and clear instructions to call for an inspection by the City of Concord. Yep, I recommend Big Air.
Description of Work: Replaced 42-year old central furnace with new Trane 80K-BTU, 95% efficient unit, DFA filter box ($140, incl. above) and taped leaking joints in existing ducts. I checked N/A in the above PRICE catagory, because I don't know how it compares with others. I believe that the price was reasonable.

After several false starts talking to other companies, it was a relief to talk to Big Air Heating and Air Conditioning. They were friendly, knew what was wanted and arranged to come out quickly. Their technician was punctual, professional and friendly, doing a thorough job of checking each of the four heaters for safety. I would definitely use Big Air Heating and Air Conditioning again.

The estimator came out promptly at the appointment time (a bit of a shock, given the bad experiences I have had with people coming to the house to do work), and was very informative and professional. He did a thorough inspection, and gave me an estimate for the work. I agreed; it was about as much as I had expected. The day of the install, the guys actually were a few minutes early, so more points for being on time. They did a great job, a really professional install, and thoroughly tested all the ducting as well. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Overall, it was a great experience.
Description of Work: I purchased a foreclosure property at auction, and discovered the previous tenants had removed the outside air conditioning compressor unit. Being in the eastern East Bay, A/C is practically a necessity (regularly 110 in the summer), so I went on the hunt for a contractor. While in the local hardware store getting other remodeling supplies, I was approached by one of their authorized vendors just inside the door.
