Description of Work: Approved Air installed two A/C units and new grills to our pre-plumbed two-story home. Mike Gentry was prompt, courteous and professional. They did a great job at a very reasonable price. They did an excellent job of ensuring that they didn't track dirt into the house and carpet and left the garage cleaner than it was when they started. Great service at a good price; what more can you ask?

Response from Cool Air Solutions Heating and Air Conditioning
Sorry to here you were unhappy with our $89.00 diagnostic service call that we did 5 months ago. We thoroughly checked the system and it was definetely operating properly at that time. I can't fix something that isn't broken. When you emailed me last week with your complaint, I offered you a full refund, which you declined. I guess it just makes you feel better to give us a bad review instead...Oh well, as hard as we try, I guess we can't please everybody all of the time.

When I called Mike Gentry, he arrived quickly and came with all of the information I had requested. We discussed my desire for the most efficient equipment and he provided me with brochures and information about Armstrong's products. He said he could have provided ANY of the different manufacturers products, but he preferred Armstrong and I decided that their offerings were just what I needed. I asked Mike for references and he provided me with names and phone numbers of prior customers. I checked with them and found that they were very pleased with Mike's work. The job was a big one and started with asbestos removal which was handled by another company. Once that was completed, the construction began on the new attic platform, installation of the new furnace, air conditioning system, and air filter. Mike's son Kyle was his able assistant and the original estimate for a five day job was reduced to four days. Mike and Kyle arrived exactly on time each day, but worked longer than the usual 8 hours when needed. The system is operating perfectly and I would definitely recommend Approved Air Inc. to anyone who asked!
Description of Work: My elderly furnace needed replacement and I wanted an air filter and air conditioning as well as the new furnace. I had received two other quotes on the work, but Mike Gentry's conscientious explanations of all possibilities gave him the job. I purchased a new furnace, air filter and air conditioning system and had it all placed on a new platform in my attic instead of the closet in my dining room. It was a large job and the labor was performed impeccably.

When I called to make the appointment, my information was taken by a call center representative, but Mike Gentry returned the call promptly, within about 30 minutes. On the appointment day, Mike arrived a full five minutes BEFORE the window he gave me -- 8:00 to 9:00 am. This was a pleasant surprise given the number of times I've had to wait an hour or two AFTER the window with some service providers. I first went over all the issues discovered during my home inspection, and Mike was attentive and helpful in explaining what needed to be done. In fact, he went beyond the basics in re-attaching the ductwork that had come apart, and while tuning up the system he pointed out some issues that should be corrected sooner than later. He finished everything in about an hour, then prepared an itemized invoice that detailed all the work he did, the materials required, his labor charge, etc., and reviewd each section with me. Mike did a terrific job and I would not hesitate calling him again for future service to my heating/cooling system.
Description of Work: I had just bought a home in Escondido that needed some maintenance repairs to the AC system, including: reattaching ductwork in the attic; rewrapping the refrigerant line, cleaning the compressor unit, and other items. I also requested the standard system tune up for which a $75 coupon was available on Angie's List.

Mike is a small business owner with 24 years experience installing HVAC units. He impressed us with his knowledge of the field by thoroughly answering all our questions and addressing any concerns during the estimate phase in a very clear manner. He comes across as very low-key and honest. We obtained several other estimates, and another company gave us a quote very close to the one from Approved; however, that company sent us a salesman for the estimate who also tried to sell us additional equipment. Mike did not try to oversell us equipment that we did not need. He recommended the Armstrong equipment because of its excellent track record and warranty. The standard system warranty is 10 year parts, 10 years labor, 10 years on the compressor and lifetime on the heat exchanger. Since Mike would also be installing the equipment, it gave us more confidence in what to expect. He arrived at the promised time and worked hard with only a brief lunch break. When unforeseen problems occurred, he tackled them and found solutions without losing his upbeat demeanor. He had to add a pump and did not charge us extra because it had not been on the original estimate. He was very clean and left our home in the condition he found it. One year of preventive maintenance (2 visits bi-annually is also included in the total price. We are very happy with his work and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.
Description of Work: Install new 95% 60K BTU furnace (eligible for rebate from SDG&E) and 3.5 ton, 13 SEER condenser unit. Remove and recycle old furnace and A/C unit. Install new bar type air grills and thermostat.

I am very pleased with the way the work was performed. They showed up on time on the scheduled day with all of their equipment and started work right away. The work was performed professionally with no mess, no loud noise, no shouting and very courteous workers.
Description of Work: Replaced existing furnace and A/C with a new Furnace and A/C system. Checked and repaired where necessary the existing duct work. The work was performed in a professional manner, at the scheduled time and was cleaned up before they crew left. The system was fully checked out and the permit and potential SG&E refund information was given to us. I am very pleased with the quality of the work and the price.

Mike was very professional throughout the entire project. The removal and installation was efficient and very well done, a neat clean professional job. Although it is June and we don't need heat or air at this time the system tested good, we are pleased and would/do recommend Mike and Approved Air.

Just got off the phone with Mike. He was extremely willing to give his professional opinion and wealth of knowledge on furnace heaters to me, even though he wasn't going to be making any sale with me. I told him up front that I suspected that I'd been taken advantage of by a sneaky tenant and the unit was already purchased. It was also the very end of the day and I am really grateful that he took a few extra minutes after 5:00 to make sure I had all my questions answered. Had I been on top of this problem, I could have saved 6 to $700 with better quality and longer warranties... <: [ I would definitely call him first, next time!

My phone inquiry was answered in a very timely manner, Mike Gentry was punctual for the appointment and very personable; overall it was a very pleasant visit.
Description of Work: I asked Mike Gentry to come evaluate my downstairs heater because it failed to turn back on after I had changed the filter and because prior to changing the filter I had detected a burning scent when the heater was on. He immediately found the simple reason my heater had not turned back on, tested my heater, and gave me tips on maintaining the heater. He also offered me a service for my 2 zone heater and 2 zone a/c q 6 months that sounded ideal for me; the service would then include the service call that he made today (since the fix was very simple). He proceeded to check out the heater in the attic and clean the filter for me; he discussed his findings, but did not feel any repairs were needed at this time. We discussed my a/c in the attic and we planned for him to call me prior to the summer season to have my a/c serviced (included in the above fee, except for any repairs that may be needed). I feel I am in good hands and have less to worry about now that I will have him evaluating my systems prior to the beginning of each season.

Mike, (owner), was very thorough in explaining what he felt I needed to do to replace the old system. He was very patient as I had 2 other vendors bid on this job and answered other questions that came up and as I researched the topic more. Approved had the most competitive bid and I felt 'good' about working with Mike from the outset. He was on time for the estimate call as well as all 3 days he worked, (BTW, the coldest days of the year!!). He put down drop cloths, put on booties and cleaned up each day. I would recommend Approved Air to anyone.
Description of Work: I had my 20 year old furnace and A/C replaced with a high efficiency 2 stage gas, variable fan Armstrong Furnace and A/C with 3 zones.

Mike is excellent! He's knowledgeable, helpful, personable and determined to do a superior job. He presented his bid, based on our needs, made recommendations, and provided us with firm prices. He kept in touch and sent along additional rebate and tax credit information, and answered every single one (and there were many) of our questions. We chose Mike from among 5 bids; his was second lowest but had the best warranties, plus it had Mike who seemed to care very much about providing excellent service. Mike and his son Kyle worked diligently to get the job done quickly and cleanly and with minimum interruption. Mike worked with us to get the downstairs unit vented correctly, but still the way we preferred, he moved the gas line in the attic to make the units more accessible there, straightened out duct work, all extra work for him at no cost to us. He came back to help me with rebate paperwork, took our old units to the recycler and sent us that paperwork as well. We would use Approved Air again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Mike!
Description of Work: Mike installed two new gas furnaces and two new a/c units, plus two air cleaners, to replace our old units. He found tax credits and rebates to help with the cost, knocking about $3000 off the above total, then helped with the rebate/tax credit paperwork, and recycled our old units.

Cool Air Solutions was excellent. Justin was great to work with. I interviewed 4 contractors (all with an A+ BBB rating), but he was the only one that really listened to my needs. He set up a system based on our usage, but provided options if we wanted to take advantage of other features. He was also helped us take advantage of the rebates being offered, including manufacturer rebates. I felt he was very honest and trustworthy. He was quick to respond to my MANY questions. The pricing was very reasonable, and the installation crew was great as well. I wish all contractors were this easy to work with. I am more than happy to recommend Cool Air Solutions to anyone that needs a new HVAC system, and I won't hesitate to call them in the future for service.

Mike (the owner) was great. He was right on schedule in all our appointments. He explained the options very well. His price was very reasonable (the lowest of 3 estimates). This is a family business so he had his son help him. He was able to begin and complete the whole job within a week of signing the estimate. The entire job took two full days. My installation was a little tricky as the furnace was in my attic and the attic access was too small. So he had to cut a larger access into my ceiling to get the new furnace in. He finished out the new attic access with molding and painted it with paint I provided so you wouldn't know it was a new access. Everything he did was neat and clean. And the new furnace is great, especially compared to what I had. Haven't used the air conditioner yet, but we did test it out and it gets cold really fast. I will be using it a lot in the summer. I highly recommend Approved Air.
Description of Work: Approved Air installed a new 5 Ton Furnace plus a 5 Ton Air Conditioner in my house. I previously had a 4 Ton Furnace (which was too small for my house) and had no air conditioning.
