Heat Pumps
Report
One of the important tasks to address, as a homeowner, is finding the right Los Angeles heat pump specialist to team up with, for all of your service needs. Your heat pump is instrumental in providing you and your family with both heat and air conditioning, and you do not want to take a chance of settling for inferior workmanship.
Repairs
Report
It should come as no surprise that you are going to be in need of service for central heating repairs in Los Angeles, from time to time. No matter how high quality your heating system is, you are going to require repairs to keep it up and running. The skill level with which those repairs are handled is what is going to make all the difference.
Installation
Report
Having a quality heating system begins with the level of heating installation work you receive. The type of heating system you select is not the only factor in the equation. The bottom line is that no matter how good the system is, it will only perform to the ability in which it has been set up, dependent on the quality of the central heating installation in Los Angeles.
Heating
Report
Yes, even in the Los Angeles area, at some point you are going to need heating services. The problem is that, since this is more of a rarity, homeowners tend to get frazzled when that time comes. Do not make the mistake of panicking and calling the first name that you come across - take the time to find a reputable and established company.

John installed my new HVAC system two years ago and services it regularly now. He also services the system in my rental property. He's very responsive whenever I reach out and truly a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend him more highly. Services: Heating system installation, HVAC system maintenance

John and SoCal HVAC Specialist were fantastic. He did a thorough inspect of my old system, gave me ideas and options of how to best setup the new system. He and his team where very discreet and they cleaned up their work area. My system is working like a champ, and. I couldn't be happier with their work.

They are super responsive and professional. John was out very quickly to fix our broken AC system the same day. He made the repair very quickly, did a check of the unit for other maintenance, and gave good advice on changing our air filters. They will be my go-to for our AC system from now on! Service: A/C system repair

John is professional, knowledgeable, informative. He really seemed to care about providing us with the best service and information. However, he suggested we had a leak in our refrigerant and that it could not be fixed and he wanted to put in a new HVAC system for over $9000. We decided to get a second opinion. While it is true we have experienced a reduction in refrigerant, the other HVAC mechanic did not find any evidence of a leak in the system nor did he suggest we needed to buy a brand new system since ours seemed to be in good working order.

So while we feel that John knows his business, his recommendation to install a brand new HVAC system was not the best advice and we would urge you to always seek a second opinion to avoid unnecessary and expensive repairs suggested by this company.

John is responsive, prompt, and knowledgeable. We just moved into our new house and wanted to get a thorough look at our aging AC. He measured the performance, changed the filter, and cleaned the unit. Everything was within spec and is ready for the summer! John provided details on parts that fail first and what to look for if it misbehaves. He also had helpful suggestions on planning/researching new units.with no pressure to purchase one any time soon. Always good to budget and plan ahead!

We shopped around for several vendors to replace aging HVAC units at our home. What we liked most about Socal HVAC was their professionalism. There is nothing worse that home improvement done wrong - and it ends up costing 2x the price to fix it. We felt supremely confident in their ability to do it right the first time. And not only that, their bid was as competitive as we received. Highly recommend - 10/10.

Our HVAC system was not working. John came in, assessed the situation, identified the problem -- a blown fuse! -- fixed it, then tested it. And was out in less than an hour. A very calm, diligent problem solver and I would recommend him for any HVAC needs. Service: HVAC system maintenance

John is awesome! I called him out several years ago to help repair my AC in a condo I was living in. He just recently installed all new heating and air in my house. We reached out for an estimate months and months ago, but we weren't ready to pull the trigger just yet. But as soon as we were ready, John was too. Him and his guys showed up on time, did great work, and finished the job earlier than expected. We had reached out to other contractors who jerked us around and left us hanging, but John was always easy to reach and happy to help.

John at SoCal HVAC Specialist has years of experience, seen it all, and knows how to do things right. He did a same-day fix that kept us from sweltering, then I had him entirely replace one of my home's HVAC systems. I'm very pleased with his work. John is a nice guy and will treat you fairly.

I did not arbitrarily rate them 'Very Good' on every item but deliberately chose these rankings because they are appropriate for the service and communication provided by SoCal HVAC Specialist Heating & Air Conditioning. They did an excellent job on schedule and on budget.

Just wanted to thank John for his wonderful customer service. He was able to accommodate us and come the same day to check what was needed. He explained every thing thoroughly and made us feel secure in our decision with going with home comfort for our furnace and ducting needs. Thanks John for your professionalism, kindness, and quick service.

John Farrugia was very helpful. My husband called and John had him send a photo of our AC unit to see if he could determine the issue. John correctly identified the issue and came out within a couple of hours on Saturday during the heatwave. Fixed the issue quickly, at a low cost. He was knowledgeable and courteous. We'll certainly recommend and use again.

I'm leery of car dealers, salesmen, and any service person that comes to my home. I don't trust anyone; they have to earn it. Well, John earned my trust. His low-key demeanor got our relationship off to a good start.

Prompt, professional service at reasonable prices. I got several estimates, even some that were similar in price, but happy I went with John and SoCal HVAC Specialist to install my ductless AC mini splits. Courteous and friendly staff and very timely with the work and overall communication.

The entire process went smoothly. I was able to get an appointment quickly and was made to feel 100% confident in the work recommended. (John went through every option available and explained the pros and cons with each) The level of expertise and professionalism that was shown with John and his company is what will have me return for any future issue and recommend them to everyone/anyone that is seeking an A/C and heating company. Thanks John!

John was always pleasant, courteous, and above all, trustworthy - since I wasn't home 90% of the time. Had many estimates from sales people, who were all about sales, in my opinion. I was real impressed that John even came to do the job himself along with his crew. Whole family is happy with results. Appreciated this laid-back, yet hard-working cat!

The two words that best describe John and SoCal HVAC Specialist Heating & Air Conditioning are reliable and meticulous. We used SoCal HVAC Specialist to install a full HVAC system in our older house, and although his price wasn't the cheapest, John's attention to detail and communication about the project were top notch (and put him in a league far above some of the other contractors' estimates).

SoCal HVAC Specialist Heating & Air Conditioning installed a new central air & heating unit in our 1940's house. The house was only equipped with a swamp cooler and wall heater before the install. John is very professional, fair, and detail oriented.

We contacted several highly rated installers for our new central air system. Based on our in-depth interaction with John we went with SoCal HVAC Specialist Heating & Air Conditioning and are very happy with the system they installed.

Everything was great - John was professional and courteous every step of the way. He and crew installed the system well within the time frame he estimated, and when they left, it was like they were never there. Except that now we have a great central air conditioning and heat system! Thanks again John!
