He didn't have much starting capital, but he did have one priceless guiding principle.

Today Econo West Heating & Air Conditioning has grown to a crew of 20 employees, some of whom have been with the company for over 10 years. Growing the company has allowed Kerr to provide superior workmanship and service to a larger customer base, while continuing to uphold the company's founding ideals of honest, personalized service that meets the unique needs of each customer.

There is a lot that went wrong in 2020. Calling EconoWest wasn't one of them.

We recently purchased our home, and my fiance had some concerns about the forced air furnace. We scheduled an appointment with EconoWest to have the unit cleaned and evaluated for safety. Dave arrived on time, and followed a strict COVID protocol showing us his body temperature and maintaining proper social distancing. He quickly determined that there was nothing wrong with unit - it was perfectly clean, and in proper working condition. Similar to other reviewers, he refused to not only charge us but he

I contacted Econo West based on the Google Reviews for routine servicing of our gas heater -- and everyone was correct! Their technician, Guillermo, was outstanding! He noticed that a condenser was leaking inside the heater -- and drove all the way to Oxnard & back to obtain & install the new part. Guillermo was very knowledgeable about heaters, and thoroughly explained what the problem was & how he would fix it. Kudos for a job well done!

Our very old electric forced air heater quit one cold evening. I called Econo West, and their office staff were great. I scheduled an appointment and their guy never showed. I called him and he apologized and said he'd be back the next day in a two hour window. He never showed again!!

I ended up giving these guys a 1 star review and called the next contractor.

Then, thanks to Yelp, the front office called and said their owner David Kerr was going to make a personal visit at the time of my choosing. We set up the visit, Dave called and came out. He's wonderful! He was amazed that our

Great experience! They fixed the wall heater quickly, were upfront about the problem, and very fair! I property manage for a few buildings and will definitely be using them again. They've earned my business and trust. Thank you!

They set up an appt. convenient for me. When Dave came out he was fantastic. He gave me honest options and tried the least expensive option first. He kept in contact with me and was very up front and explained everything and took the time to answer all my questions. The crew he sent out to replace my unit was fantastic as well. They made what was a stressful situation for me almost painless. Dave even checked in with me days later to make sure everything was working right and if I had any issues. Great customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Great experience. I will

A prior company took a look at our furnace and said we needed a new one ($3500). I called Econo West and two other companies for second opinions re cost for replacement. Econo West was the first to respond (one gave me an estimate over the phone for about the same and the other never called back). Dave from Econo West came over and took a look. He determined pretty quickly that there was no need to replace. Instead, he fixed the problem in 5 minutes and gave me instructions on how to seal a couple things myself. I'm so appreciative; he saved me $3500. He also gave me an estimate for replacement

I can recommend Econowest Heating and Air without any reservations at all. I can personally attest to the fact they provide fast, efficient customer service. They are very eager to earn a customer's trust and future business as well.

Dave, the owner is quick to respond to any and all comments or concerns you may have. And his team will stay on site until the problem is addressed and solved. Their rates are competitive and provide quality work. I had them out recently to work on my estate home and was quite pleased with the results of their service. I will recommend them to anyone that needs

Econo West was extremely professional and the price that they told me was the best price out of all the bids. The final job was a total success and done ahead of time.
