Cool Air was easy to deal with, very personable on the phone. Air conditioner was not working and they were able to send Bill out quickly to repair it. He arrived on time and identified the problem and fixed it, without trying to sell us a new airconditioner. It was been about 3 weeks and everything is still working great. I will definitely call them again!di
Description of Work: air conditioner not working, not sure exactly what he fixed since my husband was out there with him, but I know it required freon and maybe a valve or something.

Everything went perfectly. Exceeded all my expectations.
Description of Work: Cool Air Technology showed up on time and started immediately to work. I chose the 5 Ton A/C unit and dual speed furnace. Larry did the inside work and Richard did the Condenser. We ended up having to replace the original copper tubing from the Condenser to the Evaporator. The original was too small diameter, home was built in 1964. I observed the install and it was first rate. I will make sure and tell all my friends and relatives the great experience with this installation. House gets cold really fast and heater works great. Workmanship was the best I've ever seen. I could not have done a better job myself. I will recommend Cool Air Technologies to anyone. Chuck DavisAnaheim, Ca.

We had Cool Air Tech. evaluate our old heater in a two story house, and got a bid for a new heater (with a future A/C option). The owner is very nice and professional, and seemed reliable. We found him on Angie's List and were impressed by how many reviews he has had. However, after we got a couple more bids and did research into heating systems, we found that Cool Air Tech was not as up to date as some other companies. He did not do a heat load calculation, which would have shown the 4 ton heater recommended for us was oversized. The Tempster unit he recommended is not highly rated. He is also not NATE certified or an ACCA member, which are also higher qualifications. These qualifications are not so common, but we found a couple local companies with this training who were able to appropriately size our heater, they worked with highly rated HVAC systems, and could do zone controls for our house. This will make our home MUCH more comfortable throughout the year. I think Cool Air Tech is a good company, but look further if you want a higher end system and more comfort control.

Response from Cool Air Technologies Inc
We were disappointed to receive this potentially damaging review. We have been an Angie’s List Super Service Award recipient for the last 6 consecutive years. Only 2% of contractors receive this award based on customer satisfaction. I hope that other Angie’s List clients will read the over 140 AAAAA rated reviews we have (more than ALL the other rated OC Air conditioning companies.. COMBINED) and realize your views are not that of a licensed contractor. More than likely, the views are coming from a disgruntled competitor who passed on slanted/erroneous information after our bid was given. When you called us from Oregon, we were hired to give a ductwork Inspection Report. That is what we were hired to do and that what was the work performed. Due to the age and condition of the unit, furnace replacement was recommended. We have access to every make and model unit, from high end efficiency units to a more cost effective unit suitable to tenant usage. Based on your needs, a bid was given for a rental grade unit. In all probability a competitor probably upgraded your initial decision to go with something higher end after our bid was given. Our bids/recommendation is formed from 17 years years in business, an additional 8 years in the trade, thousands of hours of intense technical training by manufacturers, SCE, The Gas Company, and numerous associations. And while our technician is NATE certified, Bill, the owner of our company has not yet attended the seminar to receive that particular certificate. A $600 course and a certificate in no way indicates lack of qualifications as you implied. Rather, credence is given in the awards received, and the reviews given by customers who have tried our service and our choice in recommended product. Had you gone with our company for your installation, we are sure that you would have been pleased…as thousands of our other customers have been. Our reputation, as well as correct, information put out there about our company is of the utmost importance to us. Also important to us, is customer satisfaction. Given that you chose another contractor, we hope that your experience with them was a good one. Thank you for giving us the initial opportunity to service you.

placing those contact points and took care of that within 15 minutes. Next Bill measured the air outflow at each Register within the house and determined that the output was good throughout. Next Bill measured the temperature differential between what was going into the unit (72) and what was coming out (52). He explained that this was a good differential and provided evidence that my unit was in good working condition. All in All, this was money worth Spent ... he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need, he showed me how to maintain my unit, and his prices were very fair. One of the best contractor experiences I have ever had.
Description of Work: Requested a service call to check A/C equipment out prior to hot summer months; Was told that Bill would be at my house between 9AM and 10AM. Bill was punctual ... called prior to arriving and showed up within appointment window. Bill listened to my concerns (i) ensure unit is working correctly, (ii) measure air outlfow at each register, and (iii) show me how to maintain unit. Bill checked out the Heater first ... showed me where the air filter is located and explained how I needed to replace on a regular basis. Bill showed me some areas of wear/tear but explained that I should watch for continued wear/tear but unit did NOT need replacement. Bill provided much needed oil/lubrication to motor ... Bill next checked out the outdoor A/C unit and noticed some significant "burn marks" at and arround some contact points. He suggested re

Called at 2:00 p.m. on Friday for service to my AC - left a message and was called back within 20 minutes. Scehdued for service between 4:00 and 6:00 pm on the same day! Tech arrived promptly at 4:00 p.m. - diagnosed and fixed my AC after discussing with me the options and costs. When he finised the repairs, he cleaned (hosed) off the outside unit, checked air flow in all my rooms, checked the temperature differential (between incomming and outgoing air), and adjusted a couple of vents to improve air flow. Very professional. Would (and will) definately use them again.

Bill showed up on time after a phone call alerting me he was on his way. Bill was personable and knowledgeable. He examined our system stem to stern. As he worked he pointed out features and possible problems in our unit. He educated me on the workings and told me things to look for and ways to save money. I come away from his visit much better able to perform simple maintenance on the compressor and inside equipment. All electrical components were working and Bill checked the input and output temps against standards. After his cleaning,adjusting and checking, the unit seemed to be cooling much better.

I had been in my house only a couple of years but the heater did not seem to be working right despite home inspection (my general opinion of these are they are worthless) and previous HVAC guy saying it was fine. I saw Cool Air Tech on Angie's list, call them and the same day Bill came out to do inspection and evaluation of A/C and heater. Everything checked out. Bill spend a lot of time answering all my questions and explaining what he was looking for and its implications. He even gave me some tips for doing some things myself to contain costs. First visit was $175. Cannot compare to others but the profession manner, overall experience, and knowledge were worth it. Still was having issues with furnace blower continuously running. Contacted Bill the following week and described problem in better detail than before and he determine it was one of two things: blower shut off switch or control board. He recommended starting with the cheaper of the two. He ordered the part and once received installed it in timely manner. Visit 2 was $150 for parts and labor. Heater still acting up and Bill recommended changing out control board. Part was ordered and install appointment was set up. They installed the control board and tested connections. Found some issues in communications with thermostat, so they troubleshooted that and fix everything. Visit 3 was $435 for parts and labor minus the $150 from Visit 2 (since that was not the problem) so paid $285. Overall, I was thoroughly happy with Bill and Cool Air Technologies in all the jobs they provided for me. Definitely would use them again. I gave a "B" for price since I had no comparison to evaluate though I thought the price was fair.
Description of Work: Visit 1: Inspection and evaluation of A/C, furnace, ducting and registers. Visit 2: Replacement of furnace blower shut off sensor. Visit 3: Replacement of furnace control board and thermostat rewire.

We noticed that the A/C unit was leaking water into the garage when we used the A/C a lot. We called Cool Air Technologies and they sent someone to investigate. He found several problems with the unit. We could either replace just certain parts or replace the entire thing, which would last longer and be more efficient. So we decided to replace the entire unit and they gave us a good price on it. They returned in a few days and did the work promptly and without any problems. Later that week, the owner came and explained what was done and even gave us pointers on how to save on our energy expenses. We will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: A/C unit leaking all over the garage floor. We called Cool Air Technologies, and they inspected the HVAC unit, and noticed many problems with it. They recommended replacing the unit.

My furnace quit a few days before the long Thanksgiving weekend. Thankfully it turned out to be pretty nice weather! I got quotes from a couple of places; the guys at the entrance to Costco Tustin II, and I had coincidentally received a "special offer" in the mail from Home Depot the weekend before. Both of them came to the house and gave me quotes of $5000 and up. It was only then that I woke up to the fact that I should be checking on Angie's List. I went through a few and settled for trying Cool Air Technologies first. Although it was now the Friday after Thanksgiving, I decided to call. I left a message and within 30 minutes had a call back from the wife of this husband and wife owned business, saying they were out of town for the holidays, but that they'd have someone call me to set up an appointment. I then had a call later that day and scheduled an appointment for the Monday. The appointment time was left open since I was able to work from home and that would allow Bob (I think the owner's name is Bob; I'm late writing this review and can't recall for sure now) to catch up on what had come in over the weekend. After Bob arrived and went through the issue, he gave me a quote of $3200! Since he was so highly rated at Angie's List as well, why go any further, so we signed on the dotted line.Bob's installers were able to come the next day! Woohoo! Larry and Richard I think. The appointment time was for 8am and they were there at the door right on time. During the installation they encountered a couple of issues which they doggedly worked at resolving. They cut absolutely no corners. They were still finishing up after 12pm and I asked if this was going to make them late for their next appointment, to which Larry said they didn't have another appointment, that they only ever do one a day because you can never be sure how many issues you might run in to and they don't want to cut any corners to hurry up the job, nor would they want to be late for any subsequent installations.They did an excellent job of the installation and left everything clean and tidy. And the new furnace has been keeping me nice and warm now for 2 months. I recommend these guys 100%.
Description of Work: Replace old furnace that had failed with new unit. I have a 1200 sq ft two-level townhome, so the furnace is at the smaller end, with a single speed fan.

They are trustworthy. They were not trying to sell a bunch of things that we didn’t need. We would use them again in the future.

You couldn't make a better choice! The initial response was prompt and efficient. Bill the owner came to my house and determined what he would recommend. He was friendly and plain spoken like in the video. His quote was detailed and understandable. I chose his company over several others. The installation was done with top notch workmanship and attention to detail. Care was was taken to assure everything was spotless when they left. Watch the video... It doesn't exggagerate! The recommended equipment was appropriate, not oversized to a "make a buck". Larry the installer has been doing installs for this company for over 13 years and clearly knows what he is doing. He and Richard (7 year employee) were a pleasure to have in the house. Cool air has excellent reviews on Angie's List for a reason! -Scott L Newport Beach, CA

First, we would like to apologize for being late on this report; sometimes life gets in the way of best intentions. That being said, we highly recommend Cool Air Technologies. Bill and his team spent two days with us. The work was fast , clean, and courteous with a high level of attention to detail. The price quoted was the price we paid. They made sure we were thoroughly familiar with the system operations before leaving. The work they performed was so good that the city inspector commented that if all HVAC installers paid this much attention to detail, his job would be much easier. We have since had them back out for a regular maintenance system check and received the same level of excellent service. To Bill, Trish, and the Cool Air crew a very big THANK YOU!
