Was informed that the installer would arrive earlier, however instead of showing up at the time They changed it to, the installer showed up at the originally scheduled time. After the installer arrived, it all went as planned. Happy with my new water heater.

they were very professional in their work and the way they treated us. It took two full days to do the work and when they left the first night they completely picked up after themselves and made sure the house was actually cleaner than they found it. Everything is great and they our house no longer has hot and cold zones. I was even impressed with the fact that the salesman, Mark was very professional and when he misquoted the rebate we would receive from Carrier ABC cooling took the difference off from the total cost of the bill so the end results was still the same. My wife and I went with the best they could offer as it would add value to our house, gave us the max amount of rebates and tax breaks and would do a better job coolig the house than their other possibilities. I have used them sveral times in the past and would easily recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Installed a completely new outside and inside Heater/AC unit and moved the outside unit from th back yard to the side of the hourse so that it would be quieter. They also replaced some of the duct work that was too small, and put dampers on the ducts.

I actually thought they were incredibly professional. Both the person who actually help me set up the energy audit and the person who did the energy audit were completely professional and personable. The work for the energy audit was done really quickly with minimal disruption. They clean up after themselves. Everything was really well done.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from ABC Cooling & Heating but I haven't yet made a decision as to who I'm working with. It was for a very comprehensive job. They were going to replace all the duct work in my attic, seal all the air ventilation stuff, and re-insulate my house.

Excellent product and better than average experience with installation. The guys who actually did the work (estimator, installers) were superb; the front office staff seemed a bit less organized. But overall, I am very happy with the work performed, and my purchase.

You can feel confident that these folks know what they are doing at an affordable cost. I recommend them.
Description of Work: Inspected and serviced our AC/Heating unit: This unit is located on the roof of a condominium and access was somewhat problematic, however the technician managed to perform the work promptly and safely. The technician also inspected the ducting system for obvious leakes or breaches. He helped me understand a few things we could consider doing in order to increase efficiency especially during the hot summer months.

They did well. They did good work. They even advised me to do certain things with my water heater and so forth. They helped me to get a new water heater and they were willing to install it for me. They gave me an estimate on the water heater while they were there. It was about $1100 for the water heater and installation. They were very good.

It all started with a coupon for a AC check up back in August 2011. Tony was our first contact who was and continues to be knowledgeable, efficient and customer centric, the big 3 in our book. Whatever we've had to have repaired has always been done promptly and not excessively expensive ( two separate function motors have had to be replaced, our unit is over 15 yrs old so not surprising). The company is clearly proud of it's reputation and carefully selects its service representatives to reflect that pride. I'm pleased to be able to continue to give my business and positive reviews to ABC Cooling and Heating and expect to do so for a long time. I'm especially pleased that the unit has passed inspection and is ready for the searing heat of Fresno.
Description of Work: It's time for the annual Summer check up for our AC. We've been keeping our annual service agreement since August 2011 so we get two servicings per year as well as a discount on any necessary repairs. I called yesterday to schedule and was put down for May 7th. This morning I got a call from Tony out in the field who had some time and was in the area so wondered if I'd like to have the service done today. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Naturally I said, 'come on down' this was wonderful news as it's going to be in the 90's and up for the foreseeable future and this writer does NOT do HOT. Well needless to say I was overjoyed at getting my prepaid service done a week early and no problems found. As usual Tony, who'd been here before, was quick efficient and very pleasant, he cleaned everything out, changed our filters for us and gave the unit a clean bill of health. If you need work done to your heating/AC units don't hesitate to call this company. We've had standard wellness checks as well as major repairs done to our unit and it's always the same high level of quality service.

We came home from a vacation late at night to find that our A/C unit had gone out while we were gone. This, in the hottest part of the summer and it was stifling! I got out the phone book and called a few places but no one could come out. I didn't think about Angie's List until the next morning. Call ABC Cooling because of the great reviews. They came out within the hour!! Identified the problem, had a replacement part in the truck and quickly resolved problem. From the person who answered the phone to the service tech who responded, ABC is a professional company, which very nice people. I'm very happy with their service.

This was a challenging job to complete due to the fact that our 56 year old home has several room additions that were not adequately heated and cooled. We have never been able to fully cool our sunroom addition, and have been limiting air/heat use due to large PG&E bills. While we did get two bids that were lower, the other companies did not offer the extensive duct work replacement and similar type of electric mini-split units for our additions. We gave the price an "A" in spite of the high cost, because it's hard to put a dollar amount on a guarantee for the type of challenging job this was. (ABC guaranteed to install more ducts and/or adjust the individual air flow to each room as needed.) Our home is COMFORTABLE for the first time since we bought it 18 years ago. The units are very quiet and cool well. Since the weather has been mild, we have yet to fully use all of the units in the house, but everything has tested out well. ABC's crew spent over a week of full days to complete the job, and they were always on time, trustworthy, and hard at work. They made every effort to keep their work areas clean and communicated with us regularly. We appreciated Manuel's conscientious effort to design and install a system that best fit our home. Each stage of the work was inspected thoroughly, and improved as needed. We especially appreciated that ABC included several items and work that was not originally included in the estimate-- such as special mounting-wood work, a whole-house fan cover, and some general repairs. They also installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout our home and re-sealed the old returns. While we do feel ABC has an excellent warranty and maintenance program, we experienced some confusion initially regarding maintenance needed to retain our warranty. ABC settled the conflict to our satisfaction, and we are confident that our investment is protected. Special thanks to Mark for working with us so closely each step of the way.
Description of Work: Energy Pre/Post Audits, replacement of main heat/air unit, replacement of all duct work, installation of 2 mini-split units in home additions. (Total of 3 complete heating/air conditioning systems) The total cost of approximately 26,000 does not include a rebate of up to $3000 due from PG&E.

They had a number of employees, and I thought they communicated well with my husband and myself, so their communication skills were good. They were respectful. They did jobs, but they were not intrusive. The house was kept cleaner than I thought it could be. The work was of good quality, except for one subcontractor, and they didn’t do anything really to correct it on site. It was not a big deal, but they were concerned that I felt that the subcontractor was not adequate, so they showed their concern in the matter.

Dave, and ALL of the crew, were FANTASTIC! We have dealt with a lot of different 'service' type of people lately and if half of them were as punctual, honest and up front as this group we would be completely stress free in taking care of our home. The audit was done, Dave came and presented the findings of that audit and went over every single aspect of it. There were three proposals submitted to us, and Dave explained each of these proposal in full detail along with the approx benefits of each. He even advised us as to what products we may not benefit from at this time. There was never any guess work. We did, however, continue to do our research to make sure everything he told us was correct. After the job was completed two other companies were required to do a walk through audit to make sure the work was done correctly. Because of the two additional audits, including one from our local energy company, we received a higher rebate than ABC initially projected. I would work with this company again in a heartbeat, and will call them first when we need anything done with our HVAC unit or other items in the home that they work with.
Description of Work: Dave came over to present the program and gave us an idea of what types of services they offered. Randy then came later to do the assessment and audit. This audit took about 4 hours for our home. Dave then came back and presented us with the findings and three separate proposals, with 'ala carte' options, if you will. The work was scheduled and completed in the time they estimated, which took 4 days. Dave then came back to do a follow up and Randy came back and did a re-inspection (the same inspection the did before the audit) to show us the differences. Dave followed up a week or so later with a 'map' showing the improvements in the home.

They spent some time with me. They gave me lots of options on units and were able to give me the pros and cons on each type. They even helped me do the PG (Pacific Gas and Electric) rebates. I did some comparison with prices with three different companies. They seemed to have the most competitive price.

Our AC froze up on an early October Friday evening. Fortunately it was not a typical very hot period. I sent out four e-mails to local HVAC contractors that Saturday morning. The following Monday at 8:00 am I received a call from ABC Cooling & Heating and we set up an appointment for that Tuesday afternoon. As it turned out they were the only company to respond to my e-mails. Their rep. Dave Guerra arrived at our home right on time with all the information needed to select replacement units. The furnace needed to be replaced to accomodate the larger coil for the new 2 stage AC I wanted for the efficiency (I confirmed this was necessary with an acquaitance in the commercial HVAC field). Dave also made sure that the new HVAC combo qualified for the Federal and State energy rebates. The installation crew was here the following week and the total project completed in four days despite having to work around a previously scheduled pool contractor resurfacing our pool and a solar panel installation (by another company) going on at the same time. There were several glitches that are not unusual with a project this size, but they were corrected immediately including a service call the evening that project was completed. A follow up visit to balance the air flow to all the rooms was performed. I was not happy with the new thermostat and it was repalced with a more advanced one at no extra cost.
Description of Work: Replaced original AC, Furnace, and Humidifier (all approximately 10 years old) with new energy efficient units

I get Groupon emails regularly, when I saw the special price for an A/C tune up I jumped at it. I checked ABC out and they appeared to have a good reputation. The thought of even one day without A/C in a Fresno Summer was terrifying. They did have to reschedule once, but called me as soon as they realized the technician wouldn't make it at the appointed time. I wasn't upset since it had been over 100 degrees for several days and I figured they must have been hammered with emergency calls, they kept us informed right up to the time he rolled up to the curb. The Technician was very polite and professional. As novices to A/C issues he could have hit us with all sorts of things, but told us our unit was very good and only needed a small part which was about $100. if we did it right then. The Technician admitted there was no way to tell if it would burn out in a day or next summer but it read that it was weak and if we waited the service call and part could end up two or three times that amount. We did it right then since he was already there and did I mention Fresno in Summer the sun sits right on your front lawn! He even checked out our ducts at no additional charge because we mentioned two rooms that didn't cool well. We will be using them again for the Autumn tune up for the heater. I recommend them absolutely!
Description of Work: Cleaned out the A/C unit on our roof. Then took all sorts of readings (not sure what since we were on the ground watching) Found only one capacitor that was weak. The technician said it was working but likely to quit before the end of the season. So gave us the option to replace on the spot for $100. or wait for it to blow out and set up an appointment but that would cost at least $300. for a service call. We opted for immediate replacement. We mentioned to him that two of our bedrooms stay about 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house so he offered to check out the ducting to see if there was blockage. Turned out the people we got the house from had had some shoddy ducting done at some point leaving two bedrooms with almost no air. Overall, he said there was little to be done short of redoing the whole thing and that would be too expensive. Dad had seen evidence of the work but wasn't sure till ABC confirmed it. We will be using them for the Winter tune up of the heating system. Very impressed with the professionalism and cordiality of the field personnel.
