I specialize in doing A/C Repair vs Replacing equipment. I service the Greater Sacramento Area. I specialize in doing Furnace Repair vs Replacing equipment. More often when a homeowner is told they should replace their HVAC unit I'm able to repair it. Our goal is to fix your air conditioner but only if it makes sense.
To get a second opinion, give me a call. Here at Sierra Aire we don't play games. When your heater/ A/C stops working our goal is evaluate the system as a whole, make necessary repairs, and address any maintenance concerns. After doing the necessary A/C Repair we also want to educate you on what kind of preventive a/c maintenance and furnace maintenance you can do yourself in between visits.

If your air conditioner stopped working first go though this checklist before calling for A/C Repair Service. It may be something simple you can resolve. This example would be for a split system where the A/C is outside on the ground and the furnace and evaporator coil is in the house. Is this a sudden problem where the a/c was working great and now suddenly stopped cooling?
Before turning on your Air Conditioner, here are a few do it your self maintenance steps you should do. It's best to do this in the spring on a warm day before you need your A/C. With the unit turned off, wash off the outside unit coil with water. Spray water on the perimeter of the outside coil until the water draining off of the unit and its clear.
Before Having a New AC Installed You May Want To Get A Second Opinion From A Company That Only Does Repairs. Getting a second opinion before getting a new system or doing a costly repair might just save you a ton of money. Over the years I've found people often are convinced they should replace their unit well before it needs to be.
Below is a rough draft of a template I am working on to help stay balanced and organized without becoming stagnant. It's worked really well for me and my personality and I'm wondering if it could help others in the pursuit of being productive and effective in whatever you are doing in life. I've developed a very simple plan to follow for gaining control over your life and becoming your own Master.
The nice things about most modern heaters is that they do not require much maintenance. Call for professional service if you have any concerns or if it's been years since being looked at. Turn on the heater, if its the first time open some windows as the dust will burn off of the heat exchanger. Check your smoke alarms and get a good carbon monoxide detector with a digital readout.

I have used Patrick at Sierra Aire numerous times..He is very professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He not only fixes the issue but he takes the time to educate along the way about what he is doing and why. I recently put a smart thermostat in and he took the time to answer my multiple questions over the phone to help me with the install. I highly recommend Patrick and Sierra Aire!!

I have done business with Sierra Aire on a couple occasions, and have found Patrick to be courteous, and very knowledgeable. Rather that saying that your older unit is not worth fixing, he let me know what it would take to fix the one I have. In both cases I went with the repair (both were different and not related over two years apart.
If you need a unit serviced I highly recommend giving them a call.

I took a chance on this company after my air conditioner stopped working last March. We thought we would have had to buy a new one, but we thought we would try. We got help very quickly. Repair person was very helpful and knowledable and honest about everything. Since our condensor wasnt finished yet our repair lasted for the entire season, and hopefully into the next....

I've called Patrick twice and he went above and beyond both times. The first time, we called him to repair a broken A/C. He quickly made time for us, inspected the unit and patiently explained all issues to me. It's been working well ever since. The next time we called him, the unit was working fine but we thought we should do routine maintenance. He told us to save our money and instead gave us tips on what we needed to do to keep things running smoothly. I truly appreciate Patrick -- he stands out as an honest businessman who takes pride in his work.

Asked a ton of questions beforehand to make sure he understood the problem and put us in the best situation possible for repair. Another company was insisting that we needed a new AC unit and Sierra actually repaired it saving us thousands of dollars. Communicative. On time and thorough. Would recommend

I woke up to a very HOT house and didn't even know what to do. A friend at work recommended Patrick at Sierra Aire. I called him and he asked me a few questions and he said he was pretty sure what it was and told me that he had not heard from his next appt and wanted to know if I wanted him out here right away. WOW was I lucky! He was there in 30 min. And replaced 3 parts in my exterior unit and I was back in business. He also walked me through a maitanance routine for me to do on a yearly basis. He was OUTSTANDING.
A+A+A+ Thanks Again Patrick
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Could not have asked for better service from Patrick. He was on time, professional, knowledgeable and honest. He doesnt do full system installs so I didnt have to worry about him trying to sell me a whole new system. He took the time to explain the all of the details of what exactly was wrong and what he could do to address it. He was more than fair with us on pricing and ended up giving us some good advice on our system as well. It's never a good day when you have to call the AC repair guy, but if I have to again I'm going to Sierra Aire.

Patrick is prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. At our request, he performed routine maintenance without any recommended replacements to our 19-year old system as other companies have previously attempted to do in the past.

Called because I was concerned about my AC not functioning properly. Patrick called back right away, allayed my fear about the sound I heard and offered tips on maintenance and how to check if there is a real issue. I saved the number in my phone in case I have a real problem that needs addressing.

Patrick came down and checked out our A/C unit and he gave us options to fix it rather than just telling us the whole thing needs to be replaced like the other companies that I had look at it. Our unit had definitely seen better days since it's over 30+ years old but he didn't give up on it which I can appreciate. He was a total expert and a professional and I was impressed with my experience throughout. If you're looking for someone to take a look at your A/C unit, look no further and ask for Patrick. It's refreshing to see that there are still good and honest technicians out

I'm going to start this by saying Patrick should be your first call, for any hvac repairs!
Now, let me tell you why.
I was offered a "free" tune up by an in-town company here in Sac, and as I knew I was due for the work I took them up on it. The guy they sent out was professional enough (although his mask kept falling off), and explained he was going to do an inspection/tune up and then let me know the results.
He was about an hour, and at the end asked me to sit down so we could go over the results. There was something about his tone that made me think of the oil changers in the

Super knowledgeable, trustworthy, and has excellent work ethic. I really appreciate the time spent educating me on the specifics of my system. Patrick was able to explain what was important to spend money on and what wasn't. He assessed our problem quickly and accurately, even going above and beyond. I should add that his prices were very reasonable and an excellent value for the service we received.
It's obvious that his foremost priority is to do a good job and leave the customer happy. Such a relief after dealing with other guys who don't really know what they're talking

Our heater would not turn on and we called Patrick from Sierra Aire and he was able to come the same day. He explained everything very thoroughly and found the problem right away. He told us that he needed to replace the pressure switch that took about 15 minutes and my heater was up and working right away. While he was here he said he could take a look at our air conditioner and found that it needed a dual run capacitor so it would not surge the system and would run better and efficiently.
The price was not to bad and he guarantees a one-year warranty on all his parts and work. Just happy to
