In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"My husband and I recently installed AC in our San Diego house. If youâ re a longtime local, you know how necessary it is these days. We struggled through the last few years with portable units which we installed in all our bedrooms, but they were bulky and loud. About 2 years ago, we started getting quotes. Every quote was between $12,000-$15,000. It was really shocking to learn how expensive air conditioning is. We were later told by a friend that the high cost is partly due to demand. We decided to save up money for it, and continued asking friends and neighbors for referrals. Finally, we were referred to Ulises Castaneda at Heating and Cooling Aid. This is Ulises' own company, and while heâ s small, heâ s extremely professional. He came out and explained why our house was not a one-size fits all solution, and recommended a mini-split system. We live in a canyon, and our house is not on flat ground all around. And the best part was his price was very competitive. We scheduled the job and over the course of 2 days they installed the system. He took care of the permits, and inspections. It was very easy. They also cleaned everything up well, and it was hard to tell they had been here. The system they installed is manufactured by Daikin, and it is unobtrusive, and very quiet. We are extremely happy with the outcome, our sleep has been fantastic, and we can highly recommend Ulises and his team."

"The thermocouple wire on my Whirlpool water heater was worn out and Frank Sanchez came over on a Sunday morning (3/23/2025) to fix it. I bought a replacement thermocouple (approx $20) the day before from a local appliance parts dealer and Frank installed it. Cost to install the new thermocouple wire was $200. Frank was knowledgeable, competent and fast and I haven't had any more problems with the water heater since then. I'm a happy customer. Thank you Frank!!!"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An evaporator coil is a crucial component of your air conditioning system, responsible for cooling the air inside your home. It absorbs heat from the indoor air, allowing the system to blow cool air through your vents. Keeping your AC well-maintained helps it run efficiently and can save you money on energy bills.

AC condensers can present a variety of common problems, including dirt and debris accumulation, drain blockages, and water leaks. Leaking refrigerant, faulty electrical components, damaged coils, and burnt-out motors can indicate more complex repair needs.

Some of these issues can be easily fixed, while others may require a total unit replacement. For the most accurate assessment, contact an AC contractor in your area.

The AC coils typically last the lifetime of your system, ranging from 10 to 20 years, depending on factors such as maintenance, quality, and other variables. Have your AC condenser coils inspected and cleaned periodically to maximize their lifespan and optimize cooling performance. Ask your HVAC pro for recommendations on how to stay on top of all critical AC maintenance.

Home warranties cover AC coils when the policy explicitly protects key HVAC components. This means that if an AC coil fails under the scope of your warranty, repair or replacement expenses are covered. Your warranty documentation confirms whether coil repairs are included, and manufacturer warranties protect both the AC condenser and its coils. It is important to review your contract details to know your exact coverage.

Warning signs that your AC condenser is failing include noticeable fluid leaks and loud, unusual noises. These indicators confirm that the condenser is under stress and its performance is compromised. Decreased cooling efficiency, uneven indoor temperatures, and increased energy consumption further signal that the unit is deteriorating. Recognizing these signs ensures you engage a professional for a thorough evaluation and prompt repair.
