EXCELLENT! When our heater died, we found them on Angie's List. Jeff came out very soon to give us a quote. He was very informative and professional. We had read the reviews and decided to go with them without even getting other quotes. It wasn't the lowest price around I'm sure.....but it was about what we expected, other than a couple of newer additions which I'm sure we will be happy with. 5 young men (Joaquin/Ben/Dillon/Alvaro/Allen) started the next morning! This was quicker than it might have been because it's April & not high season for worrying about heat. These men were Friendly, Informative, Efficient, Capable. I can't say enough good about them. I have a home office and an income tax business, so I was here working and they were here for 3 full days. I was Completely comfortable with them around. It was an Exceptional job done and I'm kind of going to miss them! ;-) Great Job ABC!

Oh really good, til a few days ago. They were suppose to do a semi-annual maintenance I forgot they were going to show up and they left a thing on my door, sorry we missed you. But they are great, it was my fault I dropped the ball. They do during spring for the summer and also in the fall for the winter. They are a good deal as long as everything is services. They don't charge me a fortune finding repairs which they didn't, so I think they are pretty honest. They seem efficient and confident. I am using them again in a couple of weeks.

Estimate to fix coil $1700...wow. Difficult area understood... not advised when installed that there were other choices. Also never indicated that any repairs would cost a premium. Cannot handle worrying that each time something was wrong the above charge would re-occur. Others have quoted less. Also checked neighbors who got a quote from them for $8,000 for duct work....had the work done by another company for $800.
Description of Work: Both plumbing earlier ....did not solve problem long term. Freon coil has a leak ...part under warranty.

The office staff, especially Mindy, is incredibly friendly and the technician that came to my home twice, once for the A/C and once for the heater, is really nice and knows what he is doing. I really appreciate their honesty. They've never tried to sell me something I didn't need. I understand they also provide a plumbing service. I definitely will use them in the future.

Tech was very knowledgeable and friendly. A recent roof replacement seemed to have caused some damage to the return air ducting which allowed insulation to get into the area where the A/C cooling coil is located - seriously blocking air flow. The tech thoroughly cleaned the area and tired to locate the source of problem. He could find nothing, so duct will have to be checked, requiring attic access - this will be done at a later date. Right now everything is working and no more insulation is getting into the unit. Unit was also low on freon which was resolved. One issue I have with ABC is that they are actually owned and operated by Allbritten which was not mentioned at the time I scheduled the appointment. I was a little surprised to see the Allbritten Tech show up at my door. Not sure why they are operating under two different names. Thus the "B" for professionalism.

In this Central Valley, there's nothing more terrifying than the thought of your air conditioner going on the fritz in the dead of summer. When that nightmare becomes a painful reality, AC-less victims pray that it can get fixed and it can get fixed fast. When our AC went out late one August evening, we suffered through the night and then went straight to the phone to find solutions. It was difficult to find service in our area, but ABC was on it. Originally, we were given a 1 to 5 p.m. time frame, and were elated when they called to see if they could come sooner. Once here, things were fixed very quickly. The technician, Isaac, explained everything and laid out options. He also enrolled us in bi-annual service of our heater and cooler. The price was what I expected for an air conditioner, but just having them take care of things in less than three hours from the original phone call made the greatest impression. They are good - efficient, professional and courteous. I highly recommend ABC.
Description of Work: ABC technician Isaac Flores replaced a blown capacitor in our AC unit. He also enrolled me in a bi-annual management program, in which ABC will run diagnostics on heaters and coolers.

So I bought a new Centex house 2 1/2 years ago (not a builder I recommend by the way) and last night in the middle of June my air conditioner makes a frightful noise and goes out. As I panic because I find out I am six months over my warranty I have to start hunting down a company to come out and this is like finding a needle in a haystack because there are so many. I come across ABC and see it has the highest reviews so I give it a shot. They were extremely helpful, understanding of my panic and responsive the way customer service should be. They were able to send a tech out to my house the same day (he was there within the hour!) and he was also very pleasant, informative and kept the price as reasonable as he could. An air conditioner breaking in the summer in Fresno is a serious stressful event and ABC made the entire issue so much less stressful and I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the reasonable price and very quick service. They are well worth their good rating!

Our heater (we have a combo unit) wasn't blowing hot air, so I called ABC Cooling & Heating because they had an Angie's List member coupon available and they had good reviews. I called them in the early afternoon, and by mid-afternoon they were already at my house. Very prompt. Courteous repairman, too. He was able to quickly diagnose the problem--a bad ignition module--and fix it. Seemed rather expensive to me (even after the coupon savings, the cost was $483), but then again, I don't know anything about heater repair (that's why I called these guys, after all) so I really have no frame of reference. Maybe you can use that number to determine if you think it's too expensive, or a good deal. The good news is that they let me split the payment into two checks, post-dating one for the next month, so I didn't get hit with the entire cost at once. The repairman told me that they did offer traditional financing on services costing $1,000 or more. All in all, it was a good experience, it didn't take too long, and we were happy with the job they did.

I waited until the next morning since it was 10:00pm and called them. They quoted me a price, but when they got here I told the serviceman what was wrong and he confirmed it. I was then charged $300.00 to have the part replaced. I looked online and found the average price was $75.00. I called the Mgr. about the difference in over the phone price vs what I was charged and that I had my unit serviced by them every six months and my unit is only 8 years old and I thought the price was a little out of line. To paraphrase him I was told I got the better price. They do not charge a service call fee, but they make up for it on parts.
Description of Work: I was out of town for a week, and when I returned I found out my A/C had quit. I had ABC Cooling servicing my A/C for a few years and I called PG&E first and they told me that a capacitor went out.

They are very courteous, polite, and professional. I appreciated they followed up with me to confirm the appointment the day before and also when the technician was en route to my house (this morning). The price was very reasonable, and there was no pressure to buy or fix/replace anything that may or may not need it. Also, there was no extra charge for them to drive from Fresno to Fowler which I greatly appreciated! Everything was working fine, and it was my first service call for my heater since it is fairly new. I went ahead and signed up for their maintenance plan (Guardian Plan) that includes a visit for performing annual maintenance on both the heater and the A/C in the following spring (May 2014), as I was impressed with their service. The technician, Tony, had been to my condominium complex before, so he is familiar with the HVAC equipment here. I am definitely more than satisfied with the service I received.

When they came out here to give me an estimate, they told me that they did not do just insulation. Basically what happened was when I told them what I need over the phone, they told me that the could definitely do that. Then they sent out their sales guys who did all these test and tried to sell me this huge package. They then told me that can't do the work that I were requesting from them. I feel like they were a scam and I thought they were deceitful. They should have been honest with me when I first called so that they didn't waste my time.

Response from ABC Cooling & Heating
Thanks so much for the feedback. We have looked into this as well as gathered some facts. The service you are speaking of was actually done back in July of 2012, not June 2013. The initial request was an estimate for insulation. We sent a representative (Mark) out to survey your home to explain what type of services we offer. Mark explained to your husband from the very beginning that we were not an insulation contractor but that we do insulation as part of a complete home performance package. Mark explained to your husband that if he was only looking to “blow insulation in” we were not the right company. He also explained that we start by doing a comprehensive energy audit to determine where your home uses and loses energy. Your husband said he wasn’t sure that he would be interested in doing any of the upgrades but was curious how the home would test and agreed to pay $150 to have the energy audit done. We returned a few days later, completed the audit, prepared a report, returned and presented 3 different energy upgrade packages to him. The house actually tested quite well and none of the upgrades we recommended were urgent. He decided to pass on any of the recommendations at the time. About a month later we received a call to repair a water leak on your air conditioner…we provided same day service and it was just a minor drain issue. We strive to provide the best service possible and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you still are not satisfied with our service, and feel that you did not get what you wanted and what you paid for, we will be more than willing to send you a full refund of $150 if you call or email us at 292-9240 or daveg@abccooling.com. ~Andrea ABC Cooling & Heating 292-9240 www.abccooling.com

Our AC went out after 5pm on a weekday. Called ABC and they said someone would be out between 6 and 9pm. He actually showed up 15 MINUTES AFTER WE CALLED!!! Totally amazing! Our repairman was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and neat (he had to get in attic through our master closet and put a cloth over our clothing). He located the problem immediately and had the AC back on within 1/2 hour! Couldn't be happier! We liked them so much we signed up for their service contract for a year.....that's how much we confidence we have in them. We have moved around a lot for work and have lots of experience with household repairs etc. Trust me when I tell you this company is GOOD....highly recommend. Thank you ABC!!!

[member name removed], Thank you so much for your kind review. We did install your heating and air unit a few years back, but I think it was another company that did this service for you last month. We don't have anything in our system saying we went out to your home recently. There is another company in Fresno called ABC Air Conditioning. The owner of this company does do service work. Our owner doesn't work in the field at all. Again, thanks for making the effort to leave this review, but the rightful recipient of this review would probably really love to hear your kind words, and we would feel badly taking a compliment that wasn't meant for us. ~Andrea ABC Cooling & Heating 292-9240 www.abccooling.com

I called several Heating and Cooling repair businesses after 5 pm on a Saturday, after our heat pump quit. It was 105 that day. Left messages and only ABC returned my call about an hour later and said they could have a repair man out the next morning Sunday. He was here on time , very professional and freindly. Completed work quickly and fair price. I would definitely recommend ABC Heating and Cooling .... great job.
