HVAC reviews in Costa Mesa, California

From the very first conversation, my experience was fantastic. The team came out quickly to provide an estimate for a complete new HVAC system with updated ductwork, removing our old unit. They suggested a system I hadn’t considered before and explained why it was a great choice, while also offering several options and three estimates at different price points. After reviewing everything, we decided on the Bosch 2.0 heat pump and air handler they recommended. The installation began the following week, and the crew worked diligently each day until the job was complete. They were respectful of our home, moving things as necessary, and everyone on the team was a pleasure to have around. During the process, one of the crew members even took the time to give me a quick guitar lesson, which was a delightful surprise. They made what could have been a stressful and costly project much more manageable by offering competitive pricing, informing us about all available rebates, and ensuring we understood how our new system operates. Their personal touch truly made a difference. They did an excellent job and will be our go-to for any future HVAC needs. I highly recommend them!

A plumber from Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company came out to Costa Mesa this morning to help with a big water leak in the ceiling of condo unit 108. The plumber went up into the attic, carefully checked everything, and found three major leaks coming into the ceiling. He took clear photos of each problem spot and sent them to me for reference. There was also a leak along the garage roof line near unit 107, and he discovered the flashing had come apart there too. He fixed these issues quickly and has solved several leaks here before. His plumbing skills and the quality of his work are always impressive. I always ask for him when we need help with plumbing problems—he’s a true professional.

mike absolutely deserves a full 10-star rating if it was possible. i had been led to believe by another firm, which i won't name, that my ac unit was in dire condition due to a severely corroded heat exchanger. the technician even hinted at red tagging it. they suggested an expensive replacement unit which didn't sit well with me. i decided to get a second opinion and reached out to this particular ac repair service. i talked to jennifer in the office, who was excellent to work with and promptly scheduled my appointment. mike came by, quickly identified the actual issue - a faulty thermocouple - and had my old ac unit running smoothly in no time. i paid $349 for mike's service and also signed up for their maintenance plan. mike and his team lifted a significant burden off my shoulders, assuring me that my current ac unit could definitely last another season safely. i wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. they are quick, efficient ac repair professionals who are straightforward and honest. mike and the team, you have my gratitude!

I really can't express how satisfied I am with this heater repair service. A couple of years ago, I had a local competitor come to fix the garage heater. They told me it was beyond repair and finding the necessary parts would be next to impossible. They also tried to sell me a new heater that very day. Instead, I reached out to this company. One of their technicians came to my place, found the part in his truck and for just $128, my heater was up and running! It's still working perfectly! This past season, I had them back for a routine check on both my garage and house heaters. The technician discovered four large cracks in the heat exchanger in my home. I ended up replacing the furnace and AC through them. I must say, the team that worked at my place were top-notch. They were professional, attentive and friendly. They patiently answered all of my queries. Their pricing is competitive with other businesses in the market. So, for any future heater repair or HVAC related needs, they'll be my first call.

The standout attribute of both HVAC technicians was their receptiveness to feedback and their accommodating nature. They were highly responsive to my numerous inquiries, providing precise, comprehensible, and concise responses. They also readily implemented my suggestions and requests without any reluctance. Both technicians went out of their way to exceed expectations, turning the installation into a model of excellence. They ensured the cleanliness and preservation of my house, even going as far as painting exterior vents to make them less conspicuous and relocating appliances for better access to the work area. They then replaced the appliances without any additional requests from me. The technicians devoted several hours to troubleshooting a couple of challenges that arose and successfully resolved them. They also facilitated some pending adjustments to the plumbing at my request while promptly completing others. Both were very approachable and pleasant, making it easy to discuss not just the job but other topics as well. I got the impression that their main objective was to ensure my satisfaction, and considering I'm not easily impressed or satisfied, this was no small feat. I was indeed impressed with the installation of the new system by Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company, and I felt that I was treated with utmost fairness and unyielding honesty. I would wholeheartedly recommend these HVAC technicians to my friends, and I feel like I've made a couple of new friends in the process.

Have you ever felt the stress of your air conditioning unit breaking down during the hottest days of summer? Watching the thermostat rise while the indoor air becomes uncomfortably warm is a real concern, especially when you have a family member who needs a cool environment. Thankfully, the technician was fantastic in relieving that worry. Their prompt response was impressive, and they were friendly and reassuring, showcasing excellent skills and knowledge. My AC was back to working perfectly on the same day. I truly appreciate the outstanding service provided, especially with such a skilled technician on the team.

After trying two other plumbers, I found Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company. The plumber was fantastic—very professional and didn’t give up easily. He asked about my plumbing issue and what had already been done to fix my kitchen sink. He explained his plan, offered me options, and told me exactly what the price would be. The drain problem was tricky, which is why the other plumbers couldn’t solve it. But he stuck with it for hours and got the job done. The final cost was exactly what I was told, even though he had to work in some tough spots. He stayed polite and professional, even when the job got messy. I highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs and will call them again in the future.

My experience with this heater repair service has been outstanding, and I strongly suggest getting a quote for your full system overhaul and replacement. They exhibit utmost professionalism, punctuality, and responsiveness. Their sales representative is a heater repair specialist who is well-versed in providing accurate estimates for the ideal system for your specific home. He enlightened me about many changes in heater repair equipment due to Federal Laws intended to safeguard the Ozone layer, using cleaner Freon products and adhering to the Costa Mesa City Inspector's codes to protect our investment. From the detailed quote for the required work to the swift installation completed the day after I accepted the quote, I felt completely assured in my decision to opt for this service. Kudos to the 3-man crew who installed my system within a single day. The team was entirely devoted to the task at hand, responded to all my inquiries, respected my property, and performed a comprehensive cleanup after finishing their work. I strongly recommend this team for everything from minor heater repairs to major equipment replacements.

I had a leaky shower faucet in my kid's bathroom and called Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company in Costa Mesa. In the past, I haven't always had good luck with plumbers, so I was worried they wouldn't come out for a small job or would try to upsell me on a whole new shower system. I was really happy when they were able to send someone the same day and gave me a window between 2 and 4. They even called back later to say they could come earlier since they finished another job ahead of schedule. The plumber arrived right on time, took a quick look at my faucet, and figured out in just a few minutes that the problem was worn out washers. The service was fast, friendly, and professional. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing help.

we had a big leak when one of our pipes burst in our costa mesa home and water started spreading fast. after reaching out to a few plumbing services, we struggled to get anyone on the phone. then alex got back to us first, and even though he was really busy with a lot of calls, he still managed to fit us in. alex was super thorough, knew exactly what to do, and made us feel comfortable right away. he quickly found the problem, fixed the damaged pipes, and reassured us that everything was under control so we could start cleaning up. we’re definitely going to call him again if we need any plumbing work, and we’ll be telling our friends and family too. compared to other plumbers we’ve worked with, alex really stands out—he’s on a whole other level.

Don’t pay attention to reviews saying this plumbing service is overpriced. I’ve had three different plumbers from other companies in Costa Mesa work on my home, and this team gave me the best price along with top-notch workmanship. Their technician was really friendly, explained everything clearly, and even taught me things about my tankless water heater that I never knew before. There was a small delay in getting to my house, but they kept me updated and were professional and polite the entire time. After such a great experience, I won’t look for another plumber—this is the only plumbing company I’ll use from now on.

I had a water leak from the pipes in my basement, and the utility sink was backing up. After trying to fix it myself, I called a local plumber in Costa Mesa. They sent someone out quickly—Alex showed up within the hour. He was friendly, explained the plumbing problem clearly, and let me know exactly what he would do. Alex got straight to work and kept me updated as he investigated the issue. When he found the cause, he explained that tree roots had started to get into the sewer pipe. He called his foreman, who brought a camera to check inside the pipe and showed me what was going on. Alex finished the job, made sure everything was cleaned up, and left my basement just as tidy as it was before. Overall, it was a great experience, and I really appreciated their fast and professional plumbing service.

i called Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company to move the gas line behind my oven so it would sit flush against the wall. the person i spoke with on the phone was really friendly and helped set up an appointment fast. the plumber who came out was professional, right on time, and clearly knew a lot about plumbing work. he handled moving the gas pipe, cut into the drywall, put in an access box, and even fixed the drywall after. he worked fast, answered all my questions, and was very nice the whole time. i would definitely recommend this company for any plumbing jobs and will call again if i need more help!

We recently had a fantastic experience with a local plumber in Costa Mesa. We called in the morning because our kitchen sink was badly clogged, and nothing we tried at home worked. The plumber arrived by noon, which was super fast. He carefully checked out our whole plumbing setup to make sure he knew exactly where the blockage might go once it was cleared. Using his plumbing snake, he quickly removed all the built-up gunk from our pipes. He also took the time to explain some helpful tips on how to prevent future clogs and made sure our dishwasher was draining the right way before leaving. We were really relieved to have the problem fixed so quickly by a true professional. Highly recommend their services for any plumbing needs in Costa Mesa!

we had water coming up through our hardwood floors and needed a plumber fast. carter & sons heating & ac company was not our first choice, but they will be from now on. after not hearing back from another company, i called them on a monday morning and got a call back within a few hours saying someone could come by around noon. around noon, one of their plumbers showed up, found the leak quickly, and fixed it right away. he also recommended a restoration service to help dry out the water damage, which was really helpful. i was so happy with the repair that i called them again for pipe replacement and toilet installation. i’ll definitely call them for any plumbing work i need in the future. excellent service and quick response!

When my previous plumber retired, I called Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company for help with a small kitchen sink job. They fixed it quickly and did a great job. I also thought about getting more plumbing work done under the sink, but after talking it over, I decided to wait. Later, I needed a new garbage disposal. I wanted a different model than what they usually use, so I bought it myself. The install cost a bit more, which made sense since they only did the labor. After that, I needed a new toilet put in. They moved it from my garage and installed better flanges and pipes than what came in the box. I’m happy with their work and plan to call them again when I replace my other toilets.

Here's the rewritten review following your requirements: I had an appointment with Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company for several plumbing repairs throughout my home in Costa Mesa, mostly focusing on fixing toilets. The plumber arrived on time, was very professional, and completed all the work as promised. After the visit, I noticed a couple of small issues—like a slow-draining sink in the master bathroom and a fill valve that was left in the tub. I reached out, and they were quick to respond, very courteous, and apologetic for any inconvenience. They returned promptly, fixed all the issues, and even took care of a few extra items that weren’t addressed the first time. I really appreciate their professionalism and dedication to making things right. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services!

i had a great experience with my plumbing repair today. i called in the morning to get a quote for replacing a shower valve and trim. they told me a plumber could come between noon and 2pm, but they actually arrived before 11am, which was a nice surprise. the technician, , checked out the job and explained that their company offers a flat rate, which was better than what i’ve seen from others. after talking to the office, gave me a quote and was able to come back and finish the work the same day, all within about three hours. was very efficient, did a thorough job, and made sure to answer all my questions about the work. everything was cleaned up after, so i didn’t have to worry about any mess. i highly recommend them to anyone who needs help with plumbing issues.

We’ve used Carter & Sons Heating & AC Company for several years, and every time has been a great experience. Their plumbers arrive on time and pay close attention to detail with every job. They handle regular plumbing maintenance for our home, respond quickly to emergency leaks, and have even done new pipe installations during a big remodel. One time, a plumber helped us troubleshoot a plumbing issue over the phone late at night before a holiday weekend, and they have always replied fast to our weekend service calls. Problems don’t happen often, but when they do, we know we can rely on them for help. This is a true family-run plumbing business—always kind and professional. We wouldn’t go to anyone else for our plumbing needs.

We hired a plumbing company after getting quotes from three other plumbers for a whole house repipe, a new water heater, and replacing a big section of old cast iron pipes under the bathrooms. This company stood out because they listened carefully to our concerns, answered every question in detail, and helped us choose the best products for our home. They were patient and never pushed us away from using permits, which we appreciated. Their pricing was fair, and they worked with us on any changes to the project, always respecting our budget. We also used their financing option, which made the whole process smoother and gave us more flexibility with our choices. Throughout the project, we mainly worked with . and . from their crew. They put in long hours and made sure everything was finished on time, even when unexpected issues came up. They were professional, friendly, and kept us updated every step of the way. If any problems popped up, they took care of them right away. We’re very happy with the work and plan to hire them again soon for more plumbing jobs around the house. Highly recommend!
