HVAC reviews in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've had Norman, Malik, and Jeff from a local AC repair service come to my Philadelphia home three times for maintenance on my outdated gas furnace. They've also replaced a thermostat that suddenly stopped working and another time when I noticed a dreadful odor early in the morning. Every visit, a friendly and competent professional arrived promptly. They were always glad to address my queries and worries about the ac repair. I have a service agreement for yearly upkeep and emergency calls, and I was never billed more than the contract stipulated. I strongly endorse this AC repair service! By the way, the awful smell turned out to be a skunk outside :-)

Malik, Jeff, and Diego from Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning are trustworthy, equitable, and incredibly supportive. I've gained a great deal of knowledge about air conditioning systems and heating furnaces from their team. They carry out respectable and quality work. Currently, they're diligently working on a major project at a duplex I own - installing two heating systems and a water heater - and the entire job is costing just slightly above $7k. They're using top-notch products too, including high-quality furnaces and a gas water heater. From the project managers to the HVAC system installers, I've significantly broadened my understanding of HVAC systems through this team. I appreciate their dedication and hard work!

i have been working with cabrera & sons heating & air conditioning since 2018. their first visit to my home was on a super hot day right before a party when the air conditioning stopped working. they arrived quickly and fixed the issue before anyone showed up. since then, they have come twice a year to check my units and just recently to service my furnace. they have a fantastic communication system that keeps you updated when they are on their way. the team is always clean, very careful, and they explain all your options thoroughly. during the last visit, i mentioned that maybe we should think about replacing the furnace. diego informed me that we still had plenty of good years left with the furnace and that we just needed to replace a couple of parts. i really trust these guys! we've had two other companies for our yearly inspections, and every year they tried to replace things that were often quite pricey. i never felt they were reliable, but cabrera & sons earned my trust from the very first time they came out.

We recently had a traditional 3-ton handler and a mini split system installed. Our home's layout is quite unique, and while other AC repair companies suggested we just get a bigger, higher SEER unit, the team took the time to thoroughly assess our house and existing ductwork. They pointed out that our home couldn't handle more than a 3-ton unit and offered us a great alternative. No other service providers took the time to check this during their quotes. The combination of the 3-ton handler and the mini split is performing wonderfully, keeping our home cool throughout the summer. Plus, this setup ended up costing us less than purchasing a single larger unit, and our energy bills have decreased by 35% compared to last summer! The team truly understands the science of airflow and tailored their solution to fit our specific needs at a reasonable price. The installers were punctual and friendly, and the office staff was quick to respond to our inquiries. I’m really pleased with the choice we made for our AC installation.

the technicians are friendly and knowledgeable. they quickly fixed my furnace water line. when i noticed a minor issue a few days later, i called for assistance, and a technician promptly came out to clean my drainage pipe, with no charge for the second visit. the team returned a third time and suggested i consider a new furnace. they were really helpful in guiding me through the financing process for the new furnace and ac. the installers did an amazing job. i recommend reading your paperwork carefully, as there was a misunderstanding about the financing rate. initially, they mentioned a 13% charge, but i was able to secure a 0% apr from the bank. after discussing it with them, they removed the extra charge, and everything was resolved by the end of the day. the office staff were pleasant, and the installers did great work. just make sure to review your documents to understand your payments clearly.

I've had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Diego and his team from Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning several times in the recent past. Gerald set up a dual stage furnace in our house, replacing our old single stage one, and the upgrade has been fantastic. The investment is definitely worth it! They offered competitive prices and were punctual, friendly, and clean. Gerald's work sailed through the city inspection at the first attempt, without any problems. This is crucial! In addition, Gerald put in an a/c in our house, a first for us. This was a complex task due to the construction of our house, but Diego figured out a cost-effective solution. Appreciate it! Gerald has also been on the job fixing the furnace at my rental property, and Norman went above and beyond to ensure everything was running smoothly at a reasonable cost, even handling interactions with my tenant in my absence. I always recommend these guys to my buddies!

We've been loyal customers of Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning for many years, using their services for our air conditioner, furnace, humidifier, and duct cleaning needs across several homes. Their exceptional service and top-quality products have earned our trust and loyalty. The team, including Gerald, Malik, and Norman, are always professional and reliable. They are quick to respond in emergency situations. Furthermore, we've found that their semi-annual inspections of our HVAC systems really help prevent any potential issues from escalating. Would highly recommend their AC repair services!

I'm updating my previous review from a few years back. I had a company come out to Philadelphia to replace two roof vent caps on my HVAC system. I contacted them on a Monday, and by Tuesday, Gerald and Jeff had provided me with an estimate and completed the installation on the same day. I've engaged their services three times now and have been consistently satisfied. Their pricing is reasonable, and I've found them to be reliable. In addition to this, I had them re-pipe my home boiler system that was having several issues and leaking water in my crawl space. Since their repairs, the boiler has been functioning flawlessly. I've hired them twice and both experiences have been outstanding. I would recommend this HVAC company based on my positive experiences. Their pricing is competitive and fair.

Amazing company! I can't express how great this experience was. From the initial estimate to the installation of two Trane heat pump systems with new line sets and smart thermostats, everything was fantastic. One unit was installed in a crawl space. The pricing was the best I found among all the quotes I received. The quality of the installation was top-notch, far exceeding any previous experiences I've had. Jeff was exceptional to work with and went above and beyond to include the installation of two requested easy trap systems and a supply duct. I will definitely turn to Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning for all my future HVAC needs and I highly recommend them!

We had a really good experience with our plumber in Philadelphia. After talking to a few companies, we chose them because Malik answered all our questions with great patience and professionalism. Malik arranged for Jeff to come to our house within the hour to check out our plumbing problem. We had some big leaks from the bathroom down through the kitchen ceiling, and there were already holes in the ceiling. I was worried the repairs would cost a fortune, but Malik called us back quickly with a very fair and reasonable price for everything—finding and fixing the leaks, plus replacing our toilet and vanity. We agreed on the price and set up the job for the next day. Jeff arrived right on time and wore a mask the whole time. He handled everything, from buying the materials to doing all the repairs and installing the new fixtures. I was most concerned about the mess, but Jeff cleaned up so well—he took out all the old stuff, including the toilet and vanity, and even the boxes from the new ones. All we had to do was a quick sweep and wipe down, which was much less than we expected since other companies told us we’d have to handle the trash ourselves. When Jeff finished, he told us to call right away if we noticed any leaks, but everything worked perfectly. The only call I made was to say thank you! From start to finish, it was a great experience and the work was done really well. We definitely recommend their plumbing services to anyone in Philadelphia. If we ever need a plumber again, we’ll be calling them for sure!

We had a plumbing problem not too long ago and needed help fast. After talking to friends and family, I decided to call a local plumbing company in Philadelphia. I spoke with Gerald, who answered all our questions and was very helpful. We really needed someone for leak detection. We’re so glad we made the call! The team is family-owned and local, very friendly and worked quickly. They even came over right after the holidays to help us out. It was a big decision since we needed to repipe our whole house, but with help from Diego and his son, the work was finished quickly. We had water back in just a day and a half. We really appreciate the great job they did and highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!

My old furnace was in rough shape and posed a risk because when the pilot light went out, gas was leaking into the basement. My brother reached out for an estimate, and since the technician was nearby, he came to provide an estimate on the same day. This was during a busy time for heating companies, yet he had an opening the following week to install a new, highly efficient furnace. I'm really happy with the work that Gerald and his team did to get my furnace running smoothly, especially at this time of year. I feel so much safer now, as it vents through a PVC pipe outside, eliminating any worries.

I would like to share that several months down the line, our furnace is still functioning at peak performance. After the initial diagnostic, Norman, our technician, was quick to order the necessary parts and returned to replace the motor as soon as they arrived, with only a minor delay due to pandemic-related shipping issues. Despite this, we felt our thermostat was not functioning properly, and Malik was promptly sent to make the necessary adjustments. Following these adjustments, we were visited by a representative from Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning who came to inspect the work done and discuss the procedures with us. This interaction assured us that we will be using their services for any future furnace issues. The team's knowledge and skill are impressive, and they are all wonderful individuals. We were thoroughly pleased with their exceptional furnace repair service in Philadelphia.

Norman, my heater repair consultant, gave an excellent initial assessment for my old furnace replacement. He was highly skilled and I never felt like I was being sold anything unnecessary. On the day of replacement, my technicians Malik and Diego were punctual and extremely professional. They did a fantastic job replacing my old furnace with a high efficiency model, a task that certainly wasn't easy! They were able to fit the new furnace into the same spot and did an impressive job on my new external vent. They took the time to explain everything about my furnace, filter, and new humidifier before handling the paperwork and payment. Norman even made a point to check in on Malik and Diego during the installation day and brought a warm blanket for me, which was a thoughtful gesture! I'm a satisfied customer and I'm convinced that the cozy club membership at Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning will be worth the investment. I would definitely recommend them if you need any heating or cooling services.

after getting three different estimates to have my septic tank pumped, i was surprised at how expensive the other plumbers were. when i called this plumbing service in philadelphia, their prices were much more fair and straightforward. the person i spoke with on the phone was very polite and answered all my questions, making the process easy to understand. they even scheduled a same-day visit to my home. gerald was the plumber who arrived, and he was just as friendly and helpful in person. he explained everything he found with my septic system and made sure i understood what needed to be done. gerald went the extra mile to fix a couple of issues that popped up while he was working, and i really appreciated his honesty and attention to detail. to top it off, they didn’t charge extra for the additional work and even gave me a discount on the final bill. overall, i was very impressed with the quality of their plumbing service and the reasonable cost. i definitely recommend them to anyone in philadelphia needing reliable and honest plumbers. i’ll be calling them again in the future!

Wow -- I've never been so impressed with such a quick response for heater repair (or really for any other service)! Our heater broke down during a major cold spell in Philadelphia, and it was after 5 when we noticed the issue. The weather forecast was predicting a chill in the 20s that night! I discovered Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning online and made a call, thinking I would just leave a message and hopefully receive service the following day. To my surprise, Malik answered the call, and informed me he could be there the very same night! They operate until midnight, 7 days a week, without any additional charges for 'after hours' service! I was genuinely amazed -- this is exactly the kind of customer service all companies should provide, but this was my first encounter with a repair company delivering such a service. When Malik arrived, he immediately identified the issue, had all the necessary parts on hand to fix it right away, and even kindly offered to inspect our other heaters to ensure they were operating correctly. Undoubtedly the finest heater repair service I've ever received! After years of using a different local company and having to wait days for service, I'm thrilled I chose Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning this time. From now on, they are the only ones I'll ever rely on for heater repair.

i would recommend Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning to anyone who needs a trustworthy and skilled plumber. we had a leak under the kitchen sink and our usual plumber wasn't available for weeks. i called and jeff answered, letting me know someone could stop by that same day to take a look at our plumbing issue. norman showed up around 5 pm, clearly explained what was wrong, and we talked about the best way to fix it. he offered to get the needed parts for us and made sure to find the finishes we wanted. everything was finished quickly and i had a great experience working with jeff, norman, and the owner. their customer service is really impressive and they go the extra mile. if you need plumbing help, you should definitely give them a call.

Malik is a fantastic plumber. When the main drain from my house in Philadelphia broke, he came out right away and replaced it all in just one day. He also used his excavator to remove some tree stumps and dug a drainage ditch I needed. Malik did a lot of extra plumbing work for me, and the price was very fair—not expensive at all. Thanks to him, I got everything fixed up and saved a lot of money. I will definitely call this team for any plumbing needs in the future. Great crew and wonderful service. I'm really impressed!

Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning is truly remarkable! Diego, who we dealt with, was professional, approachable, and offered fair pricing. His team of six were efficient, friendly, professional, and extremely precise. They installed our split system with two AC's and two furnaces in an impressively short amount of time. The crew was always ready to answer any questions we had about the installation process, making us feel comfortable throughout the entire procedure. This has been the best encounter we've ever had with any contractor. We chose to replace our systems after 20 years. Although they were still functioning, they weren't very efficient. I would recommend being proactive and not waiting until your AC stops working during a heatwave. My wise wife was the driving force behind this decision, proving the saying true - a cool wife leads to a happy life! I would highly recommend Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning.

Update: I had a fantastic experience with the AC repair service! A technician named Jeff helped me identify a gas leak in my furnace. He showed me exactly where the leak was occurring and explained everything clearly, even using photos from his computer. He was very friendly and took the time to go over my repair options, helping me save on costs. I feel so much safer now that he cut off the gas to the furnace until the necessary parts can be replaced. I've always received excellent service, and I truly appreciate Jeff's assistance! Another technician, Diego, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable during his visit. He worked diligently and made sure everything was in top shape with my plumbing and fixtures. I know I can count on him for any future issues. I also want to mention how pleased I was with the tune-up of my furnace and air conditioner. A technician named Gerald was recommended to me, and he did an outstanding job! I feel much more at ease knowing my system is running efficiently and will be professionally maintained from now on. Gerald is not just skilled; he’s also very approachable and happy to answer any questions. I wholeheartedly recommend both Diego and Gerald for any repair needs!

We are extremely satisfied with the products, service, and value we received from Cabrera & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning. Recently, we upgraded our HVAC system by replacing our old evaporative cooler with a new model, and the price was significantly better than what other companies offered (in fact, one competitor suggested Cabrera & Sons!). We were so happy with that experience that we decided to replace our boiler with them as well. Once again, it was a fantastic experience! Jeff provided us with an excellent price, the installation went smoothly and stayed on schedule, and the new unit is outstanding. The quality is high, the products are fantastic, the service is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. We couldn't be more pleased!
