JoEllyn5/5

I could not be happier with the service provided. The AC was not working at our condo and after a short search and reading of reviews I called Reliable. They had someone there the same day. They repaired it and for 5 weeks it worked great.

During this heat wave it failed again. I called on Saturday and again someone was there same day and for no charge as they had been there so recently.

I knew the unit was old and was ready for the news we had to replace it. They followed up with me on Sunday. I asked if he ever takes a day off but he said they wanted to be available for their customers during the heat wave. It was over 100 degrees out and we have a second floor condo so it was too hot to stay there. I expected it to be days to replace, but thanks to a cancelation for the crane needed to put the unit on the roof, it was replaced on Monday morning.

Old unit and all debris from installation was removed and everything is working great. Even deducted the full amount - parts and labor - from the first visit.

We are so grateful for the courteous, professional, and quick service. I will happily recommend them to anyone.

T5/5

Finally, a decent and honest HVAC company in San Diego! Chris and his team are amazing. They were able to help me out in this insane heat wave. I highly recommend giving them a call. You can trust them!

Rachelle5/5

I owe this review from a year ago. I called on a labor day weekend and a day later, got one of the last units that did not require an entire redo of the HVAC unit. I appreciate the owner's responsiveness and education on refrigerants and the polite and skilled workers. With this heat wave going, I believe you will do well with calling Reliable Standard. The innovair unit is smaller and quieter than the giant one that broke and more efficient.

T5/5

Chris was excellent and solved the issue right away. There is no doubt I will call them again if an issue arises with my air conditioner or heater. They keep me up to date as well on when Chris would arrive to our house. Great service!

C5/5

Yes, honest companies with integrity are still out there and this company has it. I found them through a web search when my AC stopped working and my regular HVAC company could not respond for over a week. I spoke with Chris who told me, over the phone, several things to check that would shut my AC off (any other company just makes an appt to charge you $. I was talking with a real technician who was actually trying to help me and not concentrating on their pocketbook) I had already done several of the items Chris listed off. He was kind enough to squeeze me on to their busy schedule. A few days later Sean arrived and found that my AC condensation hose was blocked. My furnace pan in the attic was filled with water which activated the kill switch to my AC unit. Sean blew out the yuks in my condensation hose and my AC is back in business. I'm saying goodbye to my old HVAC company. I found a much better company in Reliable Standard Heating & Air.

Joshua5/5

Chris is top notch! The only company out of 20+ we contacted that would come out same day in the middle of a heat wave.

Henry5/5

Went out of their way to help troubleshoot AC issue over the phone. Very knowledgable and practical and will not try to upsell you something you don't need.

Thank you Henry, it was a pleasure speaking with you

Michael5/5

During a heat wave here in San Diego we ran into hot air blowing into our house… Like most HVAC companies they were booked out a week plus but Chris and his professionalism was amazing… He was texting and providing guidance which included pictures recommendations troubleshooting, and it helped us fix our problem. Same day… Unbelievable and what a great experience we had with this company.

Always a good feeling when we're able to fix something over the phone : ). Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

JZ5/5

Alex and team are honest, competent and very friendly to work with you. He has been helping my mom and myself for multiple times. He is someone we can trust rather than other sale person which only wanted you to buy tens thousands dollars new system. Reliable Standard Heating & Air sincerely want what's best for you and your family. I trustily appreciated them.

Thank you, we are very glad to have the opportunity to serve you and your family. : )

Kate5/5

My very old AC finally stopped working. Two very well known and very large companies came out and gave me quotes to replace everything - $24000 for one and $46000 for another - because that’s what they said was necessary. I decided I needed a 3rd opinion. Called Reliable and was immediately told “sounds like you had a salesman come out.” Alex came out a couple days later and within about 2 hours my very old machine was up and running again. All of those “major issues” the first 2 companies identified were no longer an issue. My furnace was suddenly perfectly fine and my ductwork was adequate.
Honesty in a trade professional is the most important thing to me. Alex could have gone along with the other two companies and probably came in well under them and sold me a whole new system. Instead, for a tiny fraction of the cost of a new system my current one is running fine and will get me through this season at least. Knowing that you are not being taken advantage of and having a company that responds quickly is invaluable.
