had them come out do fix my washer machine. I was fortunate the part I needed was on the truck because the office did not relay the model number to the tech. The service tech was friendly and did a great job. I would not hesitate to use them again
Description of Work: I needed a new lid connector that triggers the washer to start when the lid is closed. I was lucky the tech had the part since he did not know what model I had. However, he found the problem, had the part, took the washer apart. replaced the part, and tightened the hinges on the lid.

Installation went great, all was done in one day. They had to come back to fix a minor problem because of a new San Diego County Code change enacted in 2010. Not as neat cleaning up as I had hoped, small scaps left, though this involved just a few minutes of me sweeping up. Generally I would rate them a solid B+. Also they had the BEST price, by thousands less, and helped guide me to get the full Federal/State tax credits of 2010. Which saved me $2500 off of my $5000 installation costs!
Description of Work: Install a completely new Trane Heating and Air Conditioning system.

I have clearstory windows on the second floor in the middle of the roof that would interfere with the usual solar panels. They came up with some german panels that had an inverter on every panel. So, if some panels were shaded it did not downgrade the rest of the panels....
Description of Work: These people offered answered solar problems (in advance) that none of the other 3 companies I interviewed came up with. They seem to (one and all) be hard working and straight foreward. I was so happy with the work they did on my solar system, last year that when my fridge died I called for an assement and was told to bury it and not be lured into expensive repairs on an old fridge. The tech also told me what to look for in a new fridge. I felt they truly had my interests at heart. louellawiseman@earthlink.net

Working with Leo on the plan of work went well. We went through a couple of iterations on the plan, and he was very responsive and energetic. The installation did not go well. We had agreed to move the furnace from the dining room to the area where the water heater was installed. We had to replace the water heater with a tankless water heater - that was done well. When the heater/AC was to be installed, the workers swarmed in. Our house is concrete block, and the workers did not protect the bamboo floors properly when they created the new duct accesses. Concrete bits were everywhere, ground into the flooring. The crew had no supervisory contact for us, and only one spoke even rudimentary English, so concerns expressed by my husband were brushed aside. The worst part - they said they could not install the furnace where Leo and we had agreed! By the time they let us know, they had already installed the furnace in the wrong place - back in the dining room. As it was not as agreed, Leo came over to review. They did end up moving the furnace to the correct location, but now we have holes in the interior ceiling where they had cut through for the A/C, the roof leaks when it where they did not properly patch, and there is still damage to the flooring. The A/C unit is outside balanced on a few bricks, instead of being on the concrete pad or other solid platform where we expected them to place it. The water heater will not produce hot water unless the flow rate is twice what the manufacturers specification calls for. When Leo came out, he said there is nothing they can do about it.
Description of Work: Moved and replaced heater, added air conditioner, replaced some ducting, added some ducting, and replaced water heater with tankless water heater.

We liked the person they sent out. He was real friendly and he seemed to know what he was doing. He offered us two options on whether to replace the whole thing or try to fix it. We went with trying to fix it. There was a warranty for two months and it broke the day after the warranty ended and they really wouldn't do anything about it. It turned out that it was something different but they wouldn't even listen about fixing it. They were like you are over the warranty and we said it was just by a day but that didn't matter. The person that came out was really good but we didn't like that they didn't even want to talk about it so we went with somebody else because if that was how they were going to honor their warranty just by a day over without even saying something like they would give us 15 percent off or anything The thing they did fix was okay but we didn't know that at the time. We would probably not use them again.
Description of Work: We used West Coast Appliance Services because our heater was broken and they replaced something on it.

Dealing with this company has been the worst experience we have ever had, as home owners (24yrs). The employees were dishonest, arrogant,inept,belligerent and downright menacing. In fact, my husband had to insist that one of the workman never return to our home.We paid for a wellknown furnace AND thermostat (Trane) but ended up with an off-brand thermostat installed, with no explanation, as of yet. We are still dealing with this and it's been months since the process started.

The man--Alexander I believe-- knew the machine well, and did help scrape off accumulated hard water deposits on the filters, etc. He said that by bypassing the malfunctioning switch, this was just a temporary fix. The only thing I object to is that he didn't explain the final bill, i.e. how the $29 service call became an $85 bill when no parts were replaced. Still, labor is not cheap and it could have been much more with some sort of shyster outfit. The company seems reputable and I was just glad to get the dishwasher going again!
Description of Work: He temporarily fixed valve or water pump problem by bypassing switch and jump-starting straight through electric line. Found hard water deposits on filters and other parts throughout machine. Told me to forget about fixing the machine next time, best to buy a new machine. He did help scrape off some of the white crud that had accumulated from hard water, but did not explain the bill when it was time to pay. The call-out was supposed to be $29. but the bill was nearly 3 times that, without explanation, and no new parts were installed. The guy knew appliances but I still don't know why the bill was so high in the end.

The price didn't include the rebates from the manufacturer and the state. They were really good about coming out and gave us the quote right away. We are looking at other quotes and they keep calling. It is a little irritating because they keep calling and calling. They are a little pushy. Other than that they were fine. We are still considering using them but we are still getting quotes.

Fantastic! I waited a year before providing this feedback so that I had the opportunity to experience the new Zoned HVAC through both the summer AC and winter Heating. We really researched the manufacturers and installers acutely before finally choosing the CARRIER units and choosing WEST COAST to install. It couldn't have gone better and the units are working superbly. I will always have a zoned system in the future... really saves money. The West Coast representative, Yuri, has great controll over the guys who work for the company and was overseeing the work both in person and by phone the entire time. The native language of the workers was a little difficult to get accustomed to, but in no way did it hender their performance. They provided outstanding work performance. They only stopped to eat briefly, here on the jobsite with fresh food brought from home. You just don't see that kind of dedication these days.
Description of Work: Complete removal of old HVAC systems (2) and install of new Carrier HVAC units, including duct cleaning and/or replacement where necessary. Additionally, we had the entire home properly Zoned, so any room can be isolated for heating or air conditioning without spending money to feed the entire house. Especially helpful if you are working on a room that is open to the outside (i.e. window replacement, etc.) and still have comfort to the rooms that are being used.

I will definitely call the again next time I need an appliance repaired. I called for repair and they were there the very next day. Their repairman (Gary) was not only prompt and arrived in the middle of my 2 hour time window, he called on his way to give me 20 minutes of warning he would be there soon. He made very reasonable recommendations for the work to be accomplished, was able to repair it within an hour at my home, and was very upfront and honest about his suggestions to repair or replace should his inspection have gone a certain way. He was friendly and easy-going, and even cleaned my floors before he left! I'd recommend them to others for sure and will be using them again in the future.

The technician arrived shortly after I phoned on a weekend. He was professional and took time to explain the problems the washer was having and what could be done to fix them. There was a $20 service charge which was applied toward the repair charge. There was no additional fee for weekend or same day service. Overall, I was very pleased and would recommend them.

The serviceman came within a few hours of our call. The refrigerator was not working and the freezer compartment had completely defrosted. He fixed the problem but did not offer or leave behind the parts he replaced. Within 24 hours, the problem reoccurred, and he had to return to replace some wiring which had subsequently shorted out and prevented the fan motor from running. He did not charge for the return visit and came back at short notice. On future visits, I would ask to be given the parts replaced to ensure that the correct parts were replaced.
