Michael came to my home to complete my furnace tune up. He was very thorough and took his time. He explained everything he saw and explained tests he ran. Pacaire really has the secret sauce when it comes to hiring great technicians. Very polite and talented at their trade.

Appointment was easy to book for next day. Technicians arrived on time and in clean uniforms. Both people were very friendly and personable. Though it took quite a while to diagnose the problem they were able to provide a temporary fix until parts could be ordered and installed. While I wish that there fees were less, they were not unfair.

Cody and Blas replaced air ducts, installed new vents, and removed 40 yr old heater. They will be back to install the new heater in the near future, purposely delayed at my request. They were courteous, answered any questions I had, kept the work area clean, an all around exceptional experience so far. Thank you Pac Aire!!

I received several bids to install a new heat pump system in my home. I selected Pacific Aire’s bid due to their knowledge, equipment recommendations and pricing. Their techs arrived on time, cleaned up at the end of every day and did a terrific installation job. In particular, I want to thank Robert F, David P, Robert R, Daniel D and Tyler C. They all went the extra mile to make sure that I was happy with their work. Highly recommended.

Pacific Aire installed our old HVAC system back in 2008, and finding our AC failing during the recent heat wave, we knew who to contact. Once again Pacific Aire did a wonderful job. From testing our old system to installing the new, they've been wonderful. Great office staff, salesman and installation crew. Thank you Daniel, Robert R., Tyler, Cvavhyzin, Robert F., Adrian and Albino for doing a great job. I highly recommend Pacific Aire.
