Punbar Air

From the inspection to installation, the unit was installed professionally and with extreme care.

Outstanding company! The owners are mechanical engineers and were able to figure out why a unit previously installed by another contractor caused mold in my ductwork. They completed a Manual J calculation report that indicated the unit was too large, and they replaced the unit. Previously, this contractor identified that the static pressure on both of my HVAC units was too high and appropriate adjustments were made. All employees are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and extremely helpful. Hands down, this is the best HVAC contractor I have ever worked with.

Marco and Hector did a great job. They were thorough, professional, courteous, and explained everything they did to inspect both of my furnaces. Punbar is by far the best HVAC contractor I have ever worked with.

Over the past nine years I had fifteen AC vendors with fancy advertising fail to fix condensation in the cramped attic and unbalanced air flow in the house. I spent lots of money on small fixes and one large - a brand new HVAC. Still, trouble continued with the dripping water, mildew, and mold. Punbar's team came here on the recommendation of a home inspector and studied the problem with technical measurements like no one else ever did before. Their complete renovation and reinstallation solution seems to be working very fine after six weeks. Thanks Punbar.

Great! I have three AC Units on my house, all were 11+ years old. I had issues with one early in the summer, then came home to find that a second one had gone kaput. I had conversations with three different providers, and ultimately I chose to go with Punbar to replace all three units. Ronald answered all my questions, made some good suggestions, and during all our conversations never pressured me to make one choice or another. He was matter of fact and honest about the limitations what we could do to improve the circulation in the house. His team was able to replace all three units in one day (albeit a long day!) and the were neat, tidy, cleaned up and picked up well, including when one of the workers accidentally put his foot through the ceiling. While they had to come back to repair the ceiling, again, it was done very well and the drywall person cleaned up the work area very well. The pricing was good, (of the the three quotes I had, Punbar was the middle price) and they worked to get all the rebates possible at the time, further reducing my cost. I would highly recommend them.

I could not ask for faster or more professional service. Knowledgeable technicians and a great manager who worked and helped install an entirety new Trane AC system at my home. I’ve strongly recommended them to both neighbors and friends.

This company is awesome - they were able to fix all of the problems caused by my prior HVAC contractor and make recommendations for improved airflow in my home. Everyone working for Punbar Air was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and able to explain things in an easy to understand manner. I will hire this company for all future HVAC work in my home.

They showed up on time, excellent communication throughout the process. They looked everything over, it's in good shape, but they had some recommendations. Having some additional work done. I was considering a mini-split, but their recommendations will save me about $3,000. I'm a fan!

Ronald and his team are pro’s. Responsive, clean, punctual, fair and knowledgeable. 100% trust.

I call in the morning to get an estimate for a condenser replacement, and after reviewing the options with Ronald Amaya I made a decision for a trane 16 seer condenser. They brought it to my home that same morning and then came back in the afternoon to install it before the end of the day. After seeing their job I realized how flawed was the previous installation, they corrected a lot of the issues the previous installer had not paid attention to. The fact that two mechanical engineers were in charge of installing the unit gave me reassurance that the job was done up to very high professional standards. The gave me a lot of general advice on how to maintain and use the equipment and when they left everything was in good condition. They took care of registering the unit and send me the certificate of extended warranty. Will definitely use again for future needs and I highly recommend them.

These guys were excellent from the beginning. I had other estimates but these guys spent several hours analyzing, calculating, and developing the best solution for my heat problem. I highly recommend and I will be using them for all my AC needs in the future. Feel free to contact me personally for a recommendation, Sharon with Smart Meals Approved, LLC.

Very well. The tech was very knowledgeable and thorough. He calmed my concerns about mold or anything else.

Great. Very responsive, punctual and addressed all my questions. Suggested solutions to my issues that met my needs and my budget. I will continue to do business with them.

Prompt, Professional and fairly priced

I was looking for a HVAC company that would replace my 24 year old 10 SEER RUUD system, 13 year old 13 SEER Amana/Goodson system, coils and two 24 year old furnaces. Also, I was certain that I did not have enough returns or supplies. The first four HVAC companies (all experienced and reputable companies) I called to come out, look at my systems, and give me an estimate just wanted to replace my existing systems. They did not think I needed any returns, supplies, or improved duct work even after I told them by my calculations I did (yes, I did my own amateur Manual D calculations). None of the four companies did any testing, they just eyeballed it. I got the feeling they did what was easy for them and their crews. I think all four of these companies would have done a decent job of just replacing my systems (or I wouldn't of called them) but I wanted more and expected more for the money they would make off me. I kept going and called PUNBAR. I found them on Angies list and read the reviews. I looked at Homeadvisor.com and read those reviews. I read their website and discovered that this company seemed to care about the design and layout of your entire HVAC system, so I called them. I am very glad I did. Ronald Amaya, one of the owners, and Hector, an experienced member of the crew came to give look at my system and give me an estimate. They checked my system inside and out. They were in my hot attic for a long while in order to perform static pressure tests on my systems to verify problems with my return and supplies. They do this for everyone because I did not ask them to do it, After they were done testing, Ronald sat down with me and we went over the results which confirmed what I already thought, that my systems were under returned, poorly supplied, with leaky old, tangled duct work. My home was built in 1993 before they cared much about such things. He showed me his pricing which is broken down into five plans from basic to platinum. No pressure of any kind regarding what plan I wanted. I will tell you that their basic plan estimate which would replace just the two HVAC systems was LOWER IN PRICE than any of the four other estimates I received. If I wanted two new systems only, I would have chose PUNBAR anyway. I decided on the gold plan, which was a lot of money, and I did think long and hard about it, but in the end I decided it was worth the extra money to have correctly designed, and installed system that provided a balanced , comfortable and efficient home environment. We plan to stay in our home at least 10 more years. My wife and I have no regrets (my wife was included in all discussions and decisions). The installation went flawlessly. Ronald was detail oriented and meticulous. Ronald and his crew were on time and ready to everyday. He paid attention to every code, and process. For example, since I was going from R22 to R410a refrigerant the system is suppose to be pressure tested and flushed of any R22 traces, but many HVAC companies do not mention this or do it thinking it unnecessary and it costs them a few more bucks. You should see my attic, the ducts are stretched, hung and run as efficiently as possible to their destinations, which was not easy considering the design of my attic. Truly a work of art. My 16 SEER Trane condensers outside are properly spaced and on new higher pads because we possibly flood here in Houston (not my home luckily). The outside lines and dryers from the condensers going into my home are insulated and wrapped to perfection. I have never seen anything like it. I am not kidding. It is beautiful work. Details, I care about them and PUNBAR does too. Diego, another owner came out to look over the job and to help install the Nest thermostats. They ran a fifth wire from the systems in the attic to the thermostat rather than use the work around. I have all new high efficiency ceiling vents properly aligned to efficiently cool each room. Ronald had a company do a duct blast test to isolate duct leaks and whether the the total leak percentage was acceptable for a home built in 1993. He came back again (I always called to set up the appointment they did not just show up) to balance the dampers and vents by doing a duct blow test to document the CFM coming out of each vent (not the same as a duct blast test). He put in larger size ducts to make sure the supplies were getting sufficient CFMs (cubic feet per minute of air flow). He sealed as best he could the using closed cell foam the cracks in my antiquated downstairs return which was made of duct board (not solid metal or flex material). There was no way to replace it without tearing out drywall. The kicker, I have a free 6 month check up and free labor on warrantied work for the next 4 years. The Trane warranty is for 10 years on parts. PUNBAR filed the registration documents for me in order to receive the 10 year warranty instead of the 5 years if you do not register the installation. They will be doing all my routine servicing as well but after the 6 month free one I will pay the normal service rate. If you are not getting the education, options and detailed work described above from your HVAC company giving you a new system estimate or servicing your already existing system then do yourself a favor and call PUNBAR.

A/C went down at evening with temperatures in the high 80s in Houston, TX. Called them and they came in less than 30 minutes!!! The capacitor in one of the units was damaged and they replaced it literally in 10 minutes!!! Awesome super fast service.

Very knowledgeable folks. They answer all your questions. Gave me a phone consultation before and clarify the service to be performed. Overall very happy. Will hire again

It went very well. They did everything as they promised. It passed City inspection without any issues. It’s an expensive project (no getting around that) but their prices were very fair.

It went great - Ronald and his A/C guy were fast, efficient and so professional. He provided me with solid estimates for various levels of service and let me know what to expect in advance. Once we agreed on the service level, he was quick to schedule the work and completed it that day. He followed up with data to review so that I could see the work he did and how it affected my air conditioning system performance.

Replaced furnace same day and worked late into the night. Above and beyond what i expected. I really appreciate Ronald and his team for their advice and speed.

Perfect, no nonsense installation of two UV lights in the plenum of the A/C unit. I have a mold allergy and needed an installation of the UC light to ensure that the vent air is clean. Ron Amaya did the installation. Excellent, prompt, fast, professional service, thankfully with no high pressure sales for services that weren't needed. Great job!

The service call went well. He showed up right on time, but I was delayed getting home, so he waited for me for about 15 minutes. The furnace check went fine and he also recommended getting a carbon monoxide detector in my attic where both my furnace and hot water heater are located. Then we discussed some other options for balancing the temperature between upstairs and downstairs since I only have one unit for my whole house. Afterwards, he emailed me some information on what we discussed. I thought he was very thorough and informative!

Very well. Punbar pros were very thorough and timely with their work.

Excellent work from the team that came on-site. Very knowledgeable and customer focused. They took the time to explain everything they were doing and why. I received detailed reports after visit. Our AC is performing better as a result and our comfort has improved. Best value. Service exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

Very well and I would use him again, if needed.
