S K Heating and Air Conditioning

Fast, professional, fair service. Saki was able to explain to me what the issue was, what needed to be done and next steps moving forward in clear, understandable language that allowed me to feel completely comfortable with the solutions provided. Would recommend to friends and family.

My heater kicked in December. I had two other HVAC guys come out and both said I needed a new heater for around $ 2,500−3,000. Saki was on vacation in Florida when I called, but took my call and had me text photos. He said something didn’t sound right and asked me to hold off two days until he returned. When he came, he spent ten minutes looking at my unit and told me he fixed it – he pulled out some installation from behind the motor and that did the trick! He didn’t even charge me for the visit, although I gladly paid him to clean and service the unit. Saki is the best. I think this may be my first Unilocal review — that’s how highly I think of him.

Great experience with Saki. Called him in the morning, problem was solved by early afternoon. He was very clear and upfront about what needed to be done, and how much it would cost. Would definitely recommend.

Came by on short notice, and got my boiler running when other contractors said it could not be done. Doesn’t try to upsell you — and explains issues clearly. Highly recommend.

Called SK in response to a furnace issue that came up in the middle of the night. Was on site 10 minutes before promised time (how often does that happen?), explained problem and solution, and completed repair within one hour. Highly recommend.
P. S. There are other companies out there that where their «protective booties» in your home!

This was the first time we’ve used S K Heating and Air, and we’re very happy with the service provided. We woke up to a cold house and found our furnace had stopped working. I gave S K Heating & Air a call and left a message to see if anyone could come out and get the furnace fixed that day. Saki gave me a call back to let me know he was fully booked (which I appreciated), but would give me a call again if something freed up.
Lucky for us, something did free up at the end of the day and Saki was able to come out to have a look. He quickly diagnosed the problem, but needed a replacement part to get it fixed up. He was able to quickly put in a part order before things closed and would return the following morning to install.
We’re very satisfied with the service from S K. The Communication was great, service was quick, and Saki was even able to show up earlier than planned. I also appreciated Saki adding labels on my furnace just to help get things identified in the future.

Saki is absolutely wonderful. Our heater was short-​cycling and kicking out a strange smell. He returned our late night call the next morning, and was at our home that afternoon. It didn’t take him long to diagnose the problem as a blocked chimney, and the smell as carbon monoxide smoke. He cleared the chimney, and then when the debris blocked the motor, he was able to clean that, rather than selling us a new motor. He was polite and professional, with very reasonable rates! We will be happy to see him twice a year to maintain our heater and air conditioner!

This was our first time using SK Heating and Air Conditioning and I am thrilled. Saki, the owner of the company, came to my home to diagnose a problem I’ve been with the heating unit and to service it as well. He took the time to explain to me how the system worked and thoroughly investigated all potential issues. The solution he proposed involved some simple fixes to my existing system instead of a complete replacement as another company suggested when they came out to look at it. He was patient in answering my questions and cleaned up everything when he was done working. On top of all that, their prices are very reasonable. I couldn’t ask for more. Very satisfied.

I called on Monday and SK came by early Tuesday morning, which allowed me to still make it to work on time. I was educated on how to use my boiler better and he ran through the different parts of the boiler. I was easily ready to have to replace the boiler, but to my excitement this was not the case. I am very happy with my experience and plan to use SK for future heating and cooling needs.

First time using S K Heating and A/​C. Had Saki out to my house today to repair an issue with my heater. He was thorough and polite, explaining everything he was doing throughout the time he was here. I was impressed with his professionalism and the speed in which he diagnosed and addressed the issue. He explained the benefits of maintaining my HVAC system, and we even scheduled a date in April for him to come do spring maintenance. The service call also wound up being somewhat more affordable than I expected. I didn’t feel like Saki was at any point trying to take advantage of me, which is a nice change. Will definitely use Saki again should I have any other issues!

HIRE SAKI!!!
This guy is about the nicest and most reasonable HVAC guy i’ve dealt with.
The fan motor on my heater broke and I got a quote from a different company of $ 1100 to put in a new one. That seemed like a high number for a fan motor so I wanted a second opinion.
Saki answered the phone right away, came to my house in under 2 hours, and quoted me LESS THAN HALF the price of the competition.
Furthermore, it was a rainy day, and he put on little booties so he didn’t track dirt into my house. I, on the other hand, threw my wet umbrella and boots on the kitchen floor… needless to say the guy cares more about your house than you do.
He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made me feel like I was dealing with a straight shooter who really cares about his clients.
I will only be using SK for all my heating and air conditioning requirements in the future.

Saki was able to come out the same day I called to fix my heater. He showed up right on time (actually a few minutes early) and was extremely professional. He explained exactly how the heater was supposed to work and what was going wrong. He replaced the broken part and did winter maintenance. He also labelled the gas and electric lines to the heater. Highly recommend calling if you have HVAC issues or need service.

Saki was super responsive, quintessentially professional, and overall just a great person! We contacted him to service our unit for the season and he was able to fit us in within a couple of days, explained our entire system clearly and patiently, saved us from getting a plumber by fixing one of the pipes that was not properly installed, and was great company all the while.
He gave a few helpful pointers, showed us all the work that he was doing and has the best rates as compared to the other companies we called (all with good Unilocal reviews). It is no wonder why he has 5 stars across the board and we will have him back again for any of our heating and A/​C issues.
Now only if he could do electrical work, plumbing, floors, and everything else our apartment would need so we would never need to call anyone else…

We’ve had S K Heating and Air Conditioning out twice, once for our central air unit and today for our heating. We could not be happier with the service provided.
For our air conditioning, our brand new unit was having problems. It wasn’t cooling at all. Rather than schedule a few days later, Saki instead came out to our house at 7 pm to get our a/​c unit up and running.
Today, Saki came out to maintenance our heating unit. He was early! and took his time to explain exactly how our heater works, gave it a thorough cleaning, checked our thermostat, and made sure the system was running consistently before leaving.
Saki is more than happy to explain how your home’s systems work if you ask and his work is quality. I especially appreciate the fact Saki is a service provider interested in maintaining regular clientele, not turning a quick buck.

Saki is a solid professional and has met my expectations in all of our interactions. You will get him doing your repairs and no one else — I felt better about this than other HVAC companies I have used in the past. I first had him out to check both of the systems in my house and one system in my rental. On time, checked everything out, and got the electrical system parts up to par. Reasonable prices on that trip.
On another occasion, our one system was not working — I called Saki on a Sunday, got a response that day and he was out on Monday to fix the issue. I know that the price for the part was low on this occasion, but I was OK with paying based on the fact that you are getting good service, responsiveness, the institutional knowledge and professional diagnostics. Saki again visited today (next day service again) and fixed a minor issue after I had tried to fix the issue myself to no avail. I have had nightmare contractor issues in the past, and I have no problem calling Saki right away if there is an issue I am not comfortable handling. Also, if you are in the spring garden/​fairmount area, he is local to that area so it works out well logistics wise and to help a local business.

Saki is extremely professional, kind and honest. He’s happy to help you and give you the best price possible! Very thankful to have our A/​C working again!

We came back from a weekend at the beach to a house that was 95 degrees and an AC unit that was blowing hot air. I gave SK Heating and Air Conditioning a call Sunday night around 7pm and left a message. 15 minutes later Saki gave me a call back and let me know that while he didn’t have any more appointments left that night, he could be at my place at 3pm the next day.
Fastforward to Monday at 3 and Saki’s already at work, talking me through what he was doing and diagnosing the problem. Luckily, it was just the voltage regulator that was shot and Saki had one on his truck. By 3:30 he had replaced the voltage regulator and checked the coolant levels. Very reasonably priced and an all around good guy. I’ll be giving him a call in the fall for some system maintenance. Highly recommend!

I want to preface this by saying I do not write many reviews, but working with S K was such a great experience I feel compelled to write one.
My A/​C had not been working very well for the past couple of years, struggling to keep the temperature below ⁷⁶⁄₇₇ degrees which helps a little, but really is not comfortable. I know my A/​C hadn’t been serviced in seven years, so with a little trepidation I called and Saki set up a time that worked for me and a couple days later he showed up exactly when he said he would. When he arrived he wore booties over his shoes the whole time he was in my home, which is something not many contractors do and really makes a difference.
When it came to what was wrong with everything, it turns out I was low on refrigerant. Saki walked me through exactly what that meant, the issues it caused, and confirmed with me the price and made sure he had my approval before he went ahead and refilled it. In addition to the refrigerant he did a full tune up on the system, combing the fins, cleaning the compressor, really got it running well. He also informed me that there was a part that would most likely fail in a season or two, but he did not pressure me into replacing it then and there; he just told me the likelihood of it failing and the consequences of that.
All in all I can’t recommend S K highly enough.

I had a great experience with Saki of SK heating. He showed up early and got straight to work. He went through all the diagnostic steps with me and taught me everything about my AC system.
In checking the unit outside he showed me all the numbers that he was looking at and talked me through the process of diagnosing our system. I highly recommend SK to anyone that wants an honest and efficient experience. I’ll definitely be calling Saki for my maintenance work in the future.

I called S K around 11:30 am, on a Saturday. By 1:30 pm, Saki had shown up as promised, and began to diagnose the problem.
Once the faulty piece had been recognized and replaced, he pointed out a few other things that need regular attention in order to avoid costly repairs.
I appreciate the time he took to explain (and label) important parts of the unit, as well as a detailed invoice for future reference. I would recommend using SK as he is not only very professional, but knows how to explain things simply enough for even me to understand.
Summary: Very courteous, quick, efficient, and helpful.
