This is an old (25+ years) A/C central heat/Air unit. We had another AC specialist come out and and quot;cleanand quot; the unit - but it was not working very well and all this other provider would do is recommend a new 10,000 dollar unit be installed. So, we got a second opinion. We called Modern Air Mechanical. A serviceman came out, went on the roof and opened the unit up. He took some photos with his cell phone so that we could see what the issue was. IT WAS FILTHY!!! There had some surface cleaning done - but not what we paid those other guys to do. The other guys lied to us! The Service technician spent 2 1/2 hours taking apart and cleaning EVERY inch of this filthy unit. (the temperature was well over 100 degrees that day .In one place, under some other part that had to be removed to be cleaned properly, he found literally 4 inches of packed dust/dirt. It was blocking the air flow, and rendering this unit virtually useless. After he cleaned the unit, he turned it on. Even before recharging, the air coming from the vents inside was 30 degrees cooler than before he cleaned it! He then completed the service, and it was the coldest air I have ever felt from this unit. We use Modern Air for all of our Central Air needs. Won't go anywhere else. Oh, and when we asked if we needed a new one, like the other company was pushing? He said if we truly wanted to replace it, he would call his Sales team and set up an appointment. But really, this unit was still in fine shape.He told us he woud never presume to try and sell us something we really didn't need!
Description of Work: THOUROUGHLY cleand, inspected and recharged the A/C central unit

We chose the other company strictly based on price, solution, and financing. But the solutions proposed by Modern Air were also very good. They were very professional. We did ask around about both companies and heard nothing but good feedback. I would certainly contact Modern Air again to bid any future projects or as an option for service or maintenance.
Description of Work: Patio converted to a room by previous owner. There wasn't any heating or A/C. Had two companies come out, Modern Air being one of them. They came out, looked at our system thoroughly, and provided quotes on two options.

This is the second time I have used Modern Air. Both times they have been very professional in scheduling the appointments and the service people have shown up on time and neatly dressed. They put shoe covers on when entering the house. My HVAC unit is pretty old and I was expecting them to try to up-sell me to a new unit, but neither time did they do that. They performed the scheduled maintenance without any push to buy new products. When they checked the furnace filter this time, they told me it needed replacing and if I did that I should be good for another couple of years without further service.
Description of Work: Serviced my air conditioning & checked furnace filter.

The contractor identified that it was the thermostat and replaced it. It subsequently worked perfectly. He solved the problem while being courteous and professional and performed the service a reasonable price.

We could not have asked for more responsive and excellent service, even under adverse circustances. Highly reccommend.
Description of Work: Note: Trane is one of the product lines sold by Modern Air Mechanical Contractors. Our 12 year oid air conditioner condensor unit failed on June 28, 2011. Because of a very long and generally cool local Spring, few air conditioners in the area had been turned on for 8 or 9 months. Nearly every unit in Merced County was was started June 28th, and massive failures occured. We were unable to schedule a contractor of any sort at first. When we contacted Modern Air, they stated they could not visit until July 1. However, unlike others we had contacted, they were able to describe what the first visit would accomplish. and assured us that follow-up would be rapid and continuous. The technician arrived as scheduled at 7;30 AM, and diagnosed the problem; the unit was repairable, but no guarantee as to how long it might last could be estimated. Later in the day, a service representative arrived with alternatives and costs. We selected a new unit, which meant nearly an entire heat/cooling system. EPA standards and City Permitting were vastly changed from when we bought our home and were explained. The representative was able to schedule the work beginning immediately. The new condensor unit was installed and operating just in time for the arriving 100 degree heat; the new furnace unit was installed July 5th, and testing was completed. There were no real glitches. Work started and was completed as scheduled. The technicians were experienced, very courteous to us and coordinated the job; there was never anyone standing around idle. Cleanup was outstanding. Plants and the very adjacent vegetable garden were undisturbed in very tight proximity.

The call placed to Modern Air was as a second opinion for another company who quoted a price of 7900.00 to replace our 16 year old roof-mount unit. This man was thorough, and inspected the unit. He asked my husband about what prior work had been done. He then asked if the unit had ever been deeply cleaned. We told him the other company claimed to have cleaned it. The serviceman advised it would cost more than a basic service call, and he could not guarantee that it would fix all of the issues, but did we want it to be deep cleaned? My husband said yes, and the serviceman took 1.5 hours to take the unit apart and clean all of the crusted and PLUGGED fins! He showed each step to my husband, explaining that it didn't look like it had ever been deep cleaned. He put the unit back together, turned it on and the unit has been keeping this 1800 sq ft home cool ever since!! My husband asked what his company would charge to replace the unit for this house. The serviceman replaied, and quot;I'm not allowed to even oiffer you a quote. If you'd like to have a salesman get in contact with you, I'll arrange it. However, your unit should last several more years.and quot; This company is LEGIT!!!
Description of Work: Air conditioner was not cooling the house in 100+ degree weather
