"Pacific Coast Home Services charged me $450.00 on May 10th to have my Air Conditioner repaired. On July 1st when the heat wave hit San Jose my air conditioner did not work. Pacific Coast did not stand by their GUARANTEE and I had to call another company to do the repairs. Thankfully, they were an honest company and made the repairs. Pacific Coast Home Services consisted of their salesman wanting to sell me a maintenance agreement for $900 ... I should have realized at that point he was not interested in fixing my problem and asked him to leave my house !!! He did remove a few leaves from the air conditioner and clipped a few nips off a bush nearby ... there was no repair done for his billing me $450.00. I am 92 years old and feel this was ELDER ABUSE !!! DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY!!!"

"What: NOT Plumbing. Electrical wiring for/and installation of flood lights above garage door, side walkway to backyard, and backyard. Also installed porch light. Pros: On time, courteous Comments: Backyard floodlight was on all day & all night and on the same electrical source of the lights in the laundry room light and side walkway to backyard. The only way to turn it off was to turn off the electrical switch in the box, which turned off all 3 lights mentioned above. The flood lights were supposed to be on, with a timer, only during dark hours, but either it was on all night because they tied it to the laundry & walkway "wire" or electrical switch, OR they didn't put it on timer, or some other reason. They sent another team out to fix the issue within the next few weeks. Recommendation: Buy your own light fixture, inform YOU want to pick and have them install. Otherwise, they go with their own vendor and the alternative did not look anything like the style we wanted."

M & M HVAC MAINTENANCE & MECHANICAL INC is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Alex is the best! Our 25 year-old AC doesn't cool down our house at all so we were looking to replace the whole system including the whole AC Unit and Furnace. After going through quite a few quotes most of them said they can't fit a 3.5 ton machine in my attic since they said there wasn't enough crawling some for them, and Alex's crew was the only ones that could do it with a very reasonable price. He gave us a detailed quote which includes parts, labor and permit. Alex's crew was very professional and efficient at the job. We could see the crew was experienced and knew what they were doing. They took good care of our house and laid the clean cloth on our second floor carpet so nothing got dirty. They cleaned up very thoroughly after their day ends so we never had to clean up afterwards. Work lasted for three days and they were on track for the whole job. After work was done, Alex also came by after a few days to finish the paint jobs in my exterior AC ducts and the hole in my wall where the old controller was. Alex also filled up the permit application to the city with HERS test also included in his quote. Alex came by after the project when the city inspector was here (he made the appointment for us as well). Inspector only spent like 5 minutes in total and said the work in Attic was perfect. Alex basically took care of everything so we did not have to do anything except signing off to the city as homeowners. Our overall experience with Alex is perfect. He is knowledgeable and patient, and he did not bother to come by multiple times to finish the permit with city. We are definitely referring Alex and his crew to our friends if they need any help with an AC contractor."

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An AC capacitor provides the electrical energy needed to start and run your air conditioner's motors. It stores and releases electricity to keep the compressor and fans running smoothly. Without a functioning capacitor, your AC unit may not start or operate efficiently. If you notice problems with your AC unit, contact a professional to diagnose the problem and see if you need to replace your AC capacitor.

AC capacitors last between five and 15 years, with an average lifespan of ten years. Environmental conditions and system usage can affect their lifespan. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your capacitor. When your replacement capacitor is installed, be sure to ask your AC technician about best practices for maintenance and ongoing service to keep your unit in good condition for as long as possible.

While you might save between $60 and $200 by replacing the capacitor yourself, it's not recommended unless you have electrical expertise and proper safety equipment. Replacing a capacitor involves risks like electric shock and potential damage to your AC unit. It's safer to hire a certified HVAC technician who ensures safe and accurate installation.

It's safest to have a qualified technician inspect your AC capacitor. If you decide to look at it yourself after turning off all power, you can carefully remove the front panel and check the capacitor for any visible issues. However, handling electrical components carries risks, so professional inspection is recommended.
