In two days, Elias and his crew took out My old furnace and installed a new furnace and air-conditioning with new ductwork all through the attic. It was amazing. It still is amazing. Elias went over and above because he didn’t leave my house till almost 6 o’clock in the evening making sure everything was working correctly. Very good work.

5/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They gave us an appointment window of 8:30–10:00 AM, and the technician arrived right on time, which I highly appreciated! Joby (Technician #2) greeted me with such a sunny attitude that it completely set a positive mood for the day. He worked incredibly fast and didn't mind my three dogs barking from the bedrooms at all. If anything, he actually stopped to help set them at ease. He finished the work within 15 minutes and patiently waited for my husband to handle the payment. He also proactively offered to check our heating and kindly advised us to pay via check instead of a credit card to help us avoid extra processing fees. Joby was professional, helpful, and kind. Frankly, when our AC finally kicks the bucket, we will absolutely be calling them back!

Tech #2 came to our home today to diagnose and repair our compressor, which was working intermittently. He was professional, efficient and friendly. He diagnosed the problem in a matter of minutes and replaced the faulty run/start capacitor. He also took the time to show me how to properly clean the condenser. Thank you so much! We'll be using West Coast Air Conditioning next time we need service or repair!

Tech #2 did an excellent job repairing my air conditioning unit! He was courteous, professional, and a pleasure to have in my home. I especially appreciated his friendly personality and great sense of humor while he worked through the issues with the unit. My 20-year-old AC unit had been having intermittent problems blowing cold air. The compressor needed some attention, but he was able to give it a much-needed jump start and get it running again. While I know I’ll eventually need to replace the unit, this repair gives me some much-needed time to plan for that expense. I’m very grateful for his expertise and the care he put into the repair. I’ll definitely be contacting them when it’s time for a new AC unit. Highly recommend!
