Basic Air

The hottest day of the year and my A/​C acts up :(I called basic air and honestly there is nothing basic about them. Rosanna who took my call and even though I was irritable with too many questions was so professional and sweet, informative and understanding. She gave me prices for all the different scenarios and said that she would do her best to get someone out to me even though they were extremely busy. I got a call around 7pm saying that Abraham was on his way. Well Abraham knows his stuff. He listened to me patiently and asked several questions then got to work and in no time at all had me sorted out. Pricing is very fair and service is excellent. I’d happily refer them and will only use them for my home and businesses. Thanks guys you are the BEST!

Thank you so much for the great service. Abraham was awesome. Very professional, quick response, good communication. A/​C is back on and working great! Definitely recommended.

Basic Air — WOW thank you, I had the pleasure to work with Abraham and his crew this week installing our new central air. I have been wanting AC in our house for 3 – 4 years and finally found a company I could trust.
I had 5 companies bid on our AC due to the age and crazy layout of our house. One company never showed up, received 2 no bids, one of them a big name brand company that we all know, and the last one said they could only provide individual AC units that mount on the wall for each room for $ 40K — WOW come on.
Abraham — who has been in the business a long time and know exactly what he is doing gave me an amazing price, spent over an hour with me going over how he will make our house cool and wonderful in the hot summer months here in Costa Mesa. His team was very professional on time and did an amazing job.
If you are looking for a HV/​AC company that services Costa Mesa with great pricing and amazing service look no further Basic Air is who you need, ask for Abraham he is your man!

We just had Basic Air put an HVAC system in our new custom built home. Abraham was extremely helpful in giving us informative knowledge on the different options and systems available. Being engineers, we’re quite picky with details and systems, but he was really thorough in explaining everything and getting us the most efficient system for our home.
The crew did a great job of respecting our home during installation. They covered everything with drop cloths, wore booties when they needed to come inside and swept and cleaned up the areas they worked on before they left. Their prices are very reasonable and their quality of work, excellent. I highly recommend Basic Air for all Heating and Cooling needs… thanks.

Our AC system died last Summer during one of the hottest week. Through Home Advisor we found Basic Air and contracted with Abraham. Abraham and his workers worked from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. installing the new system. It was wonderful to have air conditioning again. We highly recommend Abraham and company, we appreciated his professionalism and hard work.

Abraham and his crew have done an awesome job for the Orange County Rescue Mission in Tustin maintaining our HVAC system since 2009. They have swapped out whole units for us, upgraded our kitchens exhaust systems, and maintain all of our walk in fridges and freezers. They also handle all of our residential units at our low income housing complexes. They are solid guys and I recommend them to everyone I know for any HVAC work they need done. Abraham is the owner and he is very hands on and professional and his crew is great.
Do yourself a favor and call these guys you won’t regret it.

Late last year our AC/​Furnace system went out so we had a few companies come give us a quote. Among the quotes was Abraham at Basic Air. He arrived on time, and had quite a bit of knowledge of HVAC home systems, and his company seemed well equipped to handle a simple swap out of our system to a new one. He performed our home assessment by visually looking at our existing system, calculating out our house footage and listening to our concerns of the current failed system. The quote from them came back to us promptly for an entire new system, this quote was very much in our ball park of what we expected to spend. The other 2 companies we had out, 1 was much cheaper which led me to believe their work may also be cheaper, the other quote was a 2k more, but was offering another Lennox (what we had before new system). We narrowed it down to the two companies, and ultimately chose Basic Air for various reasons: price, knowledge, Unilocal reviews and personal comfort level. I was able to talk to Vik (Abraham’s son) a few times for additional questions. Vik was also very helpful and knowledgeable. One of my concerns with Basic Air was the system they would be installing as I had never heard of the brand ICP or Day and Night. I was a little Leary, however after further research and talking with Vik my fears were settled. After all, ICP makes a variety of HVAC’s under different badges AND I have always read that the installation is just as important as the name brand you choose.
So, after 15 years with Lennox HVAC system we decided to make the change and hire Basic Air. We were scheduled out about 4 days later. On the day of installation, the crew arrived a half hour early which is good, they had all the correct equipment they would be installing on the trucks. The crew of 2 quickly became a crew of 6 – 8 people, they put down drop cloths thru the house, they moved picture frames as to not damage either. Before I knew it there was quite a bit of work going on, one outside removing the unit, one in the attic dismantling the furnace, one guy making a larger opening for the larger unit to be installed in attic, one guy getting all the new equipment out of the boxes and ready for installation. They cut up the hall cealing to get the newer bigger furnace & coil. The also quickly dismantled the outside unit and the unit in our attic. Progress was moving very quickly. During removal of compressor outside of house the technician noticed a slight gas smell. He advised me the gas meter was leaking gas. I quickly called the gas company which fixed the leak. This didn’t slow the crew down much, they had leveled out my backyard a bit as the new compressor was larger, they ran the new wiring and had the outside compressor installed very nicely.
By 4:00 the team was calibrating the system while others were cleaning up. After a trip to the local shop for 2 new grates, we had a working system again. They installed dampers thru the entire system, calibrated it and had me walk around the house to verify. The system worked MUCH better than I expected. The amount of air moving in the house was much more than the previous system. After using it now for the last 3 weeks we see no adverse effects from the system, only positive effects. The house cools much quicker and each room is much more balanced with its airflow.
Thank you Basic Air for such a professional installation and a system that we are proud to own.

We were referred to Abraham and Basic Air by my brother who had his whole heating and air conditioning system replaced and they loved they work that was done. I got an immediate response to my request for an estimate and we began work within a few days. The team is super respectful, qualified and professional at what they do. Vik also offered a referral to have our water heater moved since we put the new heater in the attic. Everything was completed in 2 days and improved our system tremendously. I couldn’t believe they even lifted the A.C. condenser over a brick wall so it could be installed where I wanted it. Best team to do the job!

I am very pleased with the service and quality of the unit installed. I was concerned that my electrical bill would jump a huge amount but the 1^st month was VERY hot and humid and I decided to leave it on as much as I liked to see what the damage would be and was pleasantly surprised. Granted I live alone and only have one story but my bill only went up about $ 30. Than was without being careful at all. Their service was great. Family owned and the pride in their family company shows. They even did some repair work on a counter in the garage without even asking or charging. Terrific company!

Abraham, Vik, Hozanna and the whole team at Basic Air are wonderful! Abraham came to our home twice to do a site walk so that he could give us a fair quote. We had the original furnace in our home which was built in 1954! It wasn’t looking good, and we wanted to relocate our condenser unit from our backyard to the side of our house. We ended up having to replace our AC, furnace and ducts (and they relocated our furnace to the attic). The team that Vik brought was the most hardworking group of guys we’ve seen in a long time! They were thorough in explaining what they were working on — and when we ran into electrical issues, the referral they brought was also great. We had other quotes from other companies, both for AC/​furnace and to replace our electrical panel, and Basic Air was the most fair and reasonable, not to mention they were fast! The sent a team to do asbestos abatement on a Friday, and we had the new system installed the very next Monday and Tuesday. They made sure that electrical safety issues they found in the attic were examined by the electrician. Vik was personable and you can tell they all care about the work they are doing. The bonus — they cleaned up REALLY WELL after themselves! The house looked the way it did before they started working! I can’t say enough good things about this company. These guys are true craftsmen at their trade.

Our home had the original furnace, and no central air. The crazy temparatures lately called for a change for our family! Found BasicAir from the great Unilocal review — called and they came out to assess our needs. They provided an accurate estimate of costs, and were able to get our job on the books quickly, and completed major work in just two days. All work was clean and tidy, and they explained how everything worked once it was installed. Not having air before, we didn’t even know what to ask for! We appreciated how they offered products and services to help us understand our needs, but didn’t try to push anything we didn’t want. After this experience, I would definitely trust any recommendations this company and its employees made in order to keep the temperature in my home the way I want it. As seen by the 5 stars, our family is very happy with Basic Air as a vendor and would recommend it as a service provider to anyone seeking Heating /​Air Conditioning installation or service!

New whole house air conditioner and furnace installed and working beautifully! Vic and his team were timely and professional. They exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. Couldn’t be more pleased and grateful for the work they did.

Abraham is knowledgeable, professional, and fair. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Basic Air. So nice to work with a man who owns his own business. He truely cares about his customers. Wonderful!

Of course my A/​C dies on one of the hottest days of the year. I called five different companies and none of them could come check out our A/​C for at least a week. Yikes!
I gave Basic Air a call and they had someone in the area who came out that evening! Abraham told us it was a basic repair, and fixed our A/​C within the hour. He and his co-​worker were straightforward and helpful. Plus the price was completely reasonable. We would definitely use him again!

Don’t use Basic Air… unless you want highly competent, skilled, and honest service. If you do, don’t waste time calling around. Basic Air is busy, a sign of good work and good reputation. I had used two other air conditioning services before I found BasicAir and spent lots of money without the problem being solved. At the first visit Abraham and his Basic crew knew immediately what was wrong and what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate that was quite reasonable. The work was fairly extensive involving cutting out sections of plasterboard but when Miguel and Albert had finished the air conditioner functioned and the walls looked like new. Basic Air is professional, attentive to details, and masters at what they do.

Wow, I am so happy with Basic Air. I called a bunch of companies to get an estimate when our AC went out, and they were all booked for the week. I called Basic Air and they came the same day! And they stayed until my AC was working great. They knew what they were doing and were very professional. And the best part – the price was unbelievably good. I would have expected to pay a lot more, but was pleasantly surprised. These guys are great!
I’m definaty saving their number.

I I call Abraham to give me an estimate first of all One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet very pleasant. He gave me a bid for brand new system so I went with him: What a job :)) very qualified to say the leasthey he was very polite and concerned the meanwhile of my home and spoke with his employees with dignity and respect hopefully I don’t need an update But Abrahams my man thanks Abraham

Over 5 years ago we moved into a house in Mission Viejo that had no central air and the original 1970 furnace and asbestos duct work. Shortly after moving in the furnace broke. We chose to use Basic Air because Abraham was responsive, fairly priced and showed real interest and understanding of our situation. We didn’t have the money and weren’t ready to replace the furnace, duct work and install a new AC unit, but we needed heat and had to replace the old, crushed asbestos duct work. We wanted a simple, cheap temporary solution until we could afford to do everything we wanted.
Abraham gave us sound advice to help us choose the right unit. He and his team properly disposed of the old asbestos duct work and quickly installed the new stuff. They made sure we understood how to use it, and even took care of a few odds and ends that had nothing to do with the job. Great experience.
So when it came time to upgrade to central air, we knew who to call. And again, Abe gave us good advice on what to install, and where. And again the price was reasonable, the work was done well and they did the job in one day! And again they took care of a few odds and ends that were out of scope for the project.
Relationships matter. Abe and his team understand this, and you can tell by the way they do business. Highly recommended.

I moved into my home and the HVAC system was 15 years old. I needed to switch it all out and replace ducts as well. Basic Air came out and took care of everything at a very competitive rate! Best of all, I did not have to check on anything. The system was fully operational, and there was no debris or construction waste left after they were done! A very professional crew, courteous and above all efficient! Would recommend to all of my friends, family and clients!

My family and I decided to go ahead with the installation of central air for our home this summer and chose Basic Air to install this into our home. Their service and professionalism are second to none. They made sure that the job was done with passion and care for our home and belongings. The routine mess that was created from this type of job was cleaned up almost as it was created much to the delight of my wife. They removed our old system so I we didn’t have to. They made sure the job was done efficiently and professionally as possible. Very pleased.
Most of all, since we had the system installed, our house has been so much cooler and we have been able to enjoy sleep during a warm summer. Now that the days are a little bit cooler, we have turned on the heater and WOW, we can only leave it on for a couple minutes because it pumps out so much warm air which is nice because it helps with the energy bills.
Abraham, Vik and their team are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to install central air into their home.
