electrician, heating & air conditioning/hvac, plumbing, water heater repair
+ 2 moreThis company is very competent. They have their own specialists for all the installations. The job was done in a timely professional manner. I am very pleased with the installation and the functioning of this water heater. I have also used Around the Clock for my central air system installation and have a maintenance plan with them- they are reliable, competent, and their prices are competitive and fair.
Description of Work: Installation of Noritz tankless water heater. A prefilter, new piping, and a new electrical outlet were also required for the water heater.

+ -1 moreThey are wonderful. We spent $600 or $700 during the first time and then the second time it was $100. They were here when they said they were going to be here. They were clean and honest. They were smart. They knew exactly what they were doing. There was no lying. They came and just did a great job. They did it neatly too. There was nothing that we thought that they could improve on. We would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We have used Around The Clock Heating & Air Conditioning Inc twice. We used them once last year this time and then once about 6 months ago.

Starting with the initial quote, Michael was very professional, answered all my questions, and a pleasure to do business with. The men who installed the system were very professional, polite and thorough. I would highly recommend this company for their professionalism, promptness and very high customer service.

heating & air conditioning/hvac
+ -1 moreI thought my heater wasn't working, after several hours the house did not get warmer even though I could feel "luke warm" air coming from the vents. I had used this company before to replace the AC condenser and was very happy with their work. When I called them again, Erick, came over and the heater was working properly. He didn't charge me for a service fee, which was really appreciated. The heater now seems to be fine, so hopefully it was just a fluke that it did not work the first time I tried it. If not, I would definitely call them back to make any repairs.
Description of Work: No work was required

+ -1 moreHe replaced the unit. 5 weeks later I had a home inspector who represented buyers on my home write in his report that the new condenser unit was leaking air and needed to be corrected. Alex was called out again and extensively sealed the unit, something he didn't do or mention the first time. While he was out this time, Alex mentioned that because the unit was a retrofit, there would always be some air leakage. If I hadn't had the buyer's inspection of the unit, I would have never known there was a problem. This should have been done correctly the first time.
Description of Work: My AC lines were freezing up and wasn't cooling on a very hot day. Alex came out and diagnosed the problem - my evaporator unit needed to be replaced.

They were very professional and punctual. They did a clean job. I will certainly call them again in the future. I have an annual contract with them.

Description of Work: Our ac failed. No air was coming out. I called them at 4pm and they setup an appt for the next day. They arrived at the time they promised. Found the ac's capactor had failed. He relaced it, check coolant level, cleaned out filter. Everything worked great. He taught me about my air filter housing and how to replace and what to buy, showed me how the ac and the furnace work together/share components and helped me understand my system better. I was so happy with them I setup my regular maintenance with them (new home owner, havnt set it up yet)

electrician, heating & air conditioning/hvac
+ 0 moreThe electrician, Oleg, was very friendly and professional. He even fixed two problems which were unrelated to the electrical upgrade. The electrical passed on the first inspection. Oleg is an independent electrical contractor. His phone number is 310-500-9193. Al Uchitel of Around the Clock was very professional. The air conditioner/heater failed the first inspection because an existing vent contained asbestos. Even though he had already been paid, Al promptly removed the asbestos and installed a new vent. The unit then passed inspection. I am very satisfied with Around the Clock.

+ -1 moreExcellent service from start to finish. Michael, the area sales manager, was very thorough and did not try to oversell. Brought up points that I had not thought about, but were very reasonable suggestions. Suggested we increase from 2 to 4 zones to deal with the very warm/cold older sections of our home and the less used upstairs section of the house. He made clear exactly what was to be done. Worked to maximize rebates vs total cost of system. Installers were very efficient with minimal disruption to our lifestyle and cleanliness. Excellent job. Al, the owner, came on the first day to discuss installation plan with installers and supervised the 3 day installation process. On the last day, he came to explain how to work the thermostats. He is very patient and takes time to answer all questions. After everyone had left, my cat was missing. I called frantically called Al and he called his installers to ask if they had seen her. She reappeared from deep within the attic after 2 hours. The next day, Al called to ask if we had found the cat. I was very impressed with Al's concern and customer support!! Enjoying our A/C system during these hot San Fernando valley summer days. The four zones are great and are thankful Michael suggested it. Great referral from Costco and Angie's list. Would highly recommend Around the Clock.
Description of Work: New Lennox furnace and 5 ton Lennoxa/c unit. Old ducts removed and replaced with new ducts. Changed our 2 zone system to 4 zones. Installed system in our 2 story 2400 sq foot house

+ -1 moreThey went to my rental property the same day I called, which was greatly appreciated considering it's been over 100 degrees for days and other AC companies were too busy for same day service. Alex called to tell me the fuse was blown and he could replace the fuse for $130 or replace the whole electrical box with a non-fuse type for $320. Their regular service call is $65, which is reasonable, and which gets applied to the total if work is done. I thought $130 was bit high to replace a $10 part, but because the weather is so hot, I agreed. I then remembered the Angie's List coupon for $20 off and called the office to make sure they would honor the coupon. I was told that the coupon HAD been applied, and that the cost was actually $150 minus the $20. When I expressed my displeasure at the cost for such a minor repair, the woman in the office agreed to charge me $130 minus the $20 coupon for a total of $110. Considering that some other companies charge $100 just to come out, $110 for the work done is reasonable. So, wherease the cost started out high, the final charge was very reasonable and I appreciate the added discount.
Description of Work: The AC wasn't working at all, not even the fan. They came out same day and replaced a blown fuse.

heating & air conditioning/hvac
+ -1 moreMy experience was fine in the original installation. However, they did not properly install the back split unit which led to it ceasing to work before three years had passed.. The company spokesperson ( the woman answering the phones) has a very thick accent and pretended not to understand me except when it was time to state they needed to replace the unit due to a rat eating through the wiring. This was not the case. Many companies do not stock split units and hire outside contractors to install them. This company took a very large check from me but I never saw the owner look at the work once the air conditioning and heating units were installed.
Description of Work: When I bought my home, I hired Around The Clock to put in split unit air conditioning and heating throughout my home and remove the old system. It was very costly and worked fine for about 2.5 years. At that point, my back unit was not functioning properly, no cold or hot air was coming out. Around the Clock promptly sent someone out to fix it and the cost was around 250.00. A few months later, the unit again stopped working. I called the company and they quickly sent out a man promptly to assess the situation. My warranty was finished. Their repair man stated that a rat had chewed through the rubber and metal and the unit had to be replaced. Cost was over 4,000. I then called to speak to management and was never allowed to speak to anyone but the woman answering the phones. She told me that it was not their fault and that machines fail and this failure was due to a rat. She stated that it was not fixable and I would have to buy a new one. Repeatedly, I asked to speak to the owner but she refused to put him on the phone and he did not return phone messages I left after hours. I spoke with my handy man about the problem. He has a friend who works for an air conditioning company and said his friend would have a look. This repair man said the unit had been improperly installed and that the cords were not properly insulated and just were sun burned . For a total of 300.00, the repair man replaced the tubing and wires that were laying on the ground and put a bracket on the wall to raise i off the ground where it had been laying. My repair man fixed the unit to perfect working order The story the repairman from Around The Clock gave was untrue and had I not looked into it further, would have replaced an entire air conditioning unit that is built to last 20 years. I could never recommend this company. They do not stand behind their work, they make it impossible to speak to persons in authority once they have your big money and the woman running the phones is rude and combative.

The office staff that I had to contact to schedule the appointment was very professional as well. I enjoyed working with them and I also enjoyed their service. I would recommend them.

+ -1 moreThe outdoor compressor unit of our central AC system suddenly began humming loudly but not operating, so that only warm air was recirculating in the house each time the thermostat turned the system on. We suspected (correctly, as it turned out) that the capacitor needed replacement. I called Around the Clock at 7:30 a.m. and they offered to come out as early as 9 the same day; they were also happy to come later, and the repair person (Eric) arrived on schedule in the middle of the two-hour window. He diagnosed the problem and replaced the capacitor, which he had on the truck. He also honored the $20 Angie's List coupon for the repair. Clearly, $255 (of which $65 was for the service call) is expensive for this service; as others have pointed out, a capacitor is an inexpensive part. However, we had purchased our house with an older, unfamiliar AC system already installed, and I'm content to pay extra for this service at least once if it means having working AC courteously and competently repaired almost instantly, especially in the middle of a heatwave. A less honest vendor might have tried to sell us a new motor unit, which was not necessary, but nothing of the kind happened here. Also, both the telephone scheduler and Eric the technician were extremely helpful and courteous (and even had a sense of humor). The AC is working perfectly again. All in all, this was a decent experience, and I would use Around the Clock again.

+ -1 moreFantastic! They were able to be at my house within 2 hours of my call. My AC was blowing hot air. The line to the AC unit was frozen. He told me my fan wasn't working and replaced the part immediately, then he told me I needed freon. He said that my unit was not up to code (no surprise, previous owner did all work himself) and that it was missing a whole part up in the attic, the "pan" for when the unit doesn't work. Kind of like a backup. He quoted me a price for that and came back on a Sunday to install it. I inquired about a screw that was missing from the filter cover. He said it would be hard to find and drilled another hole and added a new screw! He even reattached my AC control unit to my wall because it was falling off - at no extra cost. FANTASTIC! The items that I was charged for seemed pricey but I really trusted this guy (I'm 6 months pregnant and was alone at the time). He worked quickly, happily, and honestly. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Replaced fan power, added 3lbs freon and added backup pan for future outages.

+ -1 moreThe total time less than 10 minutes. The capacitor cost a little less than $40 online ( this approximate amount from a number of sources)--I found this out after he left. I think we were charged too much for a less than ten minute switch-out of a faulty capacitor --$265 (and that after applying the $20 coupon we had from Angie's list). If the part was only $40 and the cost for the trip $65 I would have expected a $105 bill or less, not $285 (or $265 with coupon).
Description of Work: Our AC unit was not functioning--just blowing hot air. We contacted the company based on the good ratings on Angie's List. They said they would charge a $65 charge to come out and that that amount would be incorporated into the total bill for whatever services they might perform. They came promptly the next morning. The Tech determined that a 55 microfarad capacitor on the AC unit was bad and replaced it and then he checked if the freon level was ok--it was.
