Called when my AC stopped working in August. Luckily it happened just after we had a lot of family and friends staying with us! It was a 20+ yr old unit and not working real well at this point. Arne came out quickly and determined the compressor was not turning and might be stuck. He tried to get working using a booster but that only made it work for a few seconds, then it stopped again. He recommended a new unit, which after some research seemed best option. He quoted me a very competitive price for a new 5-Ton Trane unit. His technician installed it a couple days later and it works really

I left a review for air left a year ago but it was supposed to be for air rite. Air rite does my yearly maintenance. Very professional,and everyone I've dealt with is the best.

We needed to have our AC unit serviced and called Air Rite. The woman who works in the office was attentive and kind. They were really busy because it has been so hot but she let us know the soonest they could send someone out. When the technician arrived he was kind and courteous. He went above and beyond to clean out the leaves that were in our unit and made it ready for summer. Thanks Air Rite!

Technician arrived on time, was friendly, assessed the problem quickly and made the repair. In addition to our home, Air Rite has done work for several members of my family. We have always been happy with their services. I recommend this company.

Air Rite certainly did right by me! Our 20 year old HVAC system, which had been nursed along for the last few years, finally gave up the ghost. Arne came out and assessed the situation and recommended a reasonably priced replacement system. This morning he sent his team of Cameron, Daniel, David, and Keith, and they went to work. Before 3:00 p.m. on this wickedly hot day in the North County (105°+), they got our new furnace and air conditioning units installed, up, and running. Thank you, Air Rite!

As the caretaker for a senior gentleman in Atascadero, I was concerned for his health and safety during a recent cold snap. I called Air Rite, explained the situation and they made getting my patient's needs taken care of a priority. The service technician was knowledgeable and professional, going above and beyond and taking the time to listen to my patient's own diagnosis. The heating repair was completed within an hour and the price was right. I will recommend Air Rite Heating and Cooling to both my patients and my friends.

From initial call the receptionist kept telling me have to check the schedule and get back to me. She never actually returned my call. When i hadnt heard from her by 11am each day i would call her to check in. After 4 days i was told the next day i was on the schedule for the am. Never showed. At 2pm i got a call from the service man telling me not today, maybe tomorrow have to check the schedule. I called "Air Left" at 220 pm, he could tell i was frustrated and had my AC repaired and running by 410pm. Same day.

Job was contracted in May and it is now almost October and still waiting. We have called them weekly and recently daily with the same response, "someone will be there next week". It has been months, summer months over 100 degrees, in a building with no AC. It was 103 degrees today and we had to have multiple people go home due to it being too hot inside. Terrible service (or none depending on how you look at it), no response, not worth the effort.

Great service at a great price. When my parents needed an entire new heater system Air Rite took care of it. When our heater recently went out Air Rite took care of it. Arnie came out diagnosed the problem and had us back up and running in no time. Great doing business with a small family owned business.

Highly recommend!

We contacted Air Rite for equipment repair in our business a few months back, we sit today with a unit that is still not repaired. At this point, we have contacted another company to fix any and all issues either missed or created by Air Rite.

Not only was the work not completed, the customer service is seriously lacking both in office staff and technicians. Every time I called the office, I was unable to get an actual staff member on the phone, it was always the answering service. Most times I would receive no call back, or if I did it would be days later. We called every day over the course

Of the many attempts to reach someone at this business, I get an answering service that relays a message to "one of their technicians" I have received one call back on my voicemail from Rick and called him back within 1 min; reached his answering service and again had to leave at least two additional messages to have him call me back: 2 days later. Finally he called, I answered and he proposed coming out to my house the following week on a Wed. I told him I'd confirm with my tenant and call back w/ best time. I have left four messages over a span of 5 days trying to confirm a
