Nick did an excellent job. He was quick and accommodating. He explained things as he worked and provided me with pictures of the finished project.
The first time I had someone come over from Ballard to maintenance my unit was Gabe and he was so informative and nice. A year later I got the opportunity to meet Thomas and Kevin from the very second they entered my home they went right to work. Kevin showed me the inside of my unit and explained everything I was…
Technician arrived on time, very courteous and respectful. Pointed out a few issues that may need attention in the future, but not pushy.
Gabe was very nice and knowledgeable. He performed a thorough inspection of our AC and Heat unit. And gave us suggestions to improve our system functions and longevity.
The diagnosing of a problem I had with my system was done with professionalism you don’t see every day. The technician Angel really explained things in a way that was comforting and respectful and I’d refer him to anyone I know that was in need of heating and plumbing.
HVAC Technician Kevin Rivas was dus I watched to my home. He was very informative, professional, and courteous. He took the time to explain everything as well as arrived on time. Out of all of the previous GVAC companies I've dealt with in the past, Kevin made Ballard Plumbing stand out in the most positive light imaginable. Thank you, Kevin!!
Very good job, knowledge, and no pushing on items to buy.
Daniel was amazing. Great technician.
First time with Ballard, service was outstanding, tech was very thorough and explained everything well. Will definitely be a customer going forward.
Reuben, our technician, was so personable and extremely knowledgeable. We are seniors and he was able to give us A LOT of info that we could understand. (Now maintaining the info is a whole different ball game for us seniors but that’s on us! lol)
Very good experience with Angel. He was here within the time frame, kept us apprised of his progress, and did a great job. Thia is the second time he has serviced our heater/air conditioner and we couldn’t be more satisfied.
Extremely impressed with Ballards. Kevin Rivas was very accommodating and helpful. Answered my questions in depth, cared about my concerns, and performed quality work. He was super knowledgeable We have used Ballards before and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
They are always wonderful. Love them. Hard working, considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did everything they could to make sure we were happy with the job they did. Thank you so much guys
The job was done well was a little disappointed that he didn’t cover up the hole. I had already exposed it, trying to save money, but after the repair is still open.
Technician Daniel was very knowledgeable and explained in detail everything that he was doing and why he was doing it.
Your employee Angel was very professional and competent. He informed me of some needed preventive maintenance, and was able to do it on the spot. He even worked thru his lunch hour in order to complete the job. Please give him a raise and make him general manager by next week. A. Arteaga
After being recommended by 2 friends, we had Ballard service our A/C last Spring. Now in the hottest summer ever, we began hearing disturbing sounds from the system and had a tech , Angel, come out today. He was friendly, efficient and after examining and tweaking the system he did not hustle us for unneeded…

Best customer service I have ever encountered!!! They responded in less than a minute by text whenever I had ANY questions. They accommodated MY schedules. Will not hesitate to hire them in the future.
The technician was very courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. He explained everything very thoroughly so I knew what he was doing. I have used Ballards in the past and we'll continue to use them in the future without any reservation.

Ballard is the best. We have used them for years and I can’t say enough good things about them. They get the job done, they get it done right and they have excellent customer service. I have never had a problem with them and they come right away. I highly recommend them for all services that they provide.

Ryan was amazing. He got my furnace working in no time at all and then stayed longer to make sure that it was working properly. He even helped me start up my hot water heater! Thanks so much for great service!
Did a tune up of our heater for the winter. Angel was quick and professional. Love these guys.
Friendly professional and time efficient central a/c & heating maintenance.
I had a new HVAC system installed by Ballard but had never used the heater. It was starting to get a little chilly at night and I couldn’t get the heater to start. Called Ballard when they opened and they had a technician there within 2 hours. Everything was quickly reset and my heat is great!
Long over due review - Ballard has an amazing team of professionals and their customer service is exemplary. I want to say a BIG thank you to Art and Ryan for taking the time to trouble shoot and diagnose what I thought was just an issue with my AC unit, they went above and beyond to ensure my unit was working…
Daniel was very professional, polite and friendly. He answered all our questions and provided honest answers. Gave us tips on how to keep our systems running healthy. Will definitely use Ballard again!
Angel is a great asset to Ballard . As they maintain their long history of reliability.
Daniel walked me through what he was doing to perform safety tune up and did a great job! He has excellent customer service and was very helpful. Thanks Daniel!
We had our air conditioner replaced by them in 2008. Yearly we use their maintenance service and the air conditioner has performed wonderfully. Recently it needed some maintenance we called them out. they were prompt and thorough. With service like this I'm sure it will last many more years .. Our service man was Daniel and he did a wonderful job.
Professional, kind repairman. Excellent service.
Heater stopped working. Repairman came promptly. He did as much as he can to fix the problem and explained what he was doing. He did a very good job. I am Danilo Banaag 11505 Welebir st. Loma linda ca. Date of service 1/25/2022.@ 1100.
Ryan serviced my heating unit and replaced a capacitor. He explained the capacitor wasn’t performing as it should but the unit would continue to work. I opted to replace it before it totally failed. Ryan was very thorough and I did not feel pressured to replace the capacitor. Great work and friendly technician.
Ryan was very nice and did not mind me asking questions and he explained things. I asked if he could look at the AC as well and he agreed. Capacitor was not in perfect condition and he explained it as I looked it up. And dang it if he was not on pretty close on….I like honesty. He cleaned the fins changed the…
Would definitely recommend Ballard to all my friends..they do all of my work.. A+
