So-Cal Heating & Air

Damian came out right after the holiday to fix our furnace and did the work for a good price. Would have given him 5 stars but it appears the «business» end of things weren’t as good as the repair part of the business. His office person was away so paperwork didn’t happen smoothly. He was great at returning calls and was honest. I’ll keep him on file for the future.

I’ve used SoCal Heating & Air for more than 20 years. They installed my system at my old house; and when I remodeled a new home, they were the first subcontractor I called. Damian Ryan is honest, experienced and reliable. The advice he gave me when setting up my new heating and air unit was cost-​efficient both to purchase and to use. He can get busy sometimes… but does what he says he’s going to do when he says he’ll do it and charges a reasonable price.

It took weeks to get them to service our system and only after I made several calls. After they did the work and after balancing the air we had one room at 80 and another at 65 degrees and they failed to reset our thermostats. After several more calls to have the issues resolved Damian came over unannounced to fix the thermostats, but really he wanted payment in full for the work performed. When asked about resolving the balance, he gave a bunch of double talk, acted like he was doing us favor and said he would come back later. That was four weeks ago and many more calls to an unresponsive and unpleasant office. Insult to injury, the thermostats that he reset do not function properly. Today I gave up and called another company to fix what So-​Cal won’t.

I don’t write reviews on Unilocal very often, I’m not sure why but I just don’t take the time to write them. But honestly, it would be a crime if I didn’t this time for So-​Cal Heating and Air. I am still reeling from the awesome service I received from Damien and his crew!
Yesterday I called So-​Cal Heating and Air because the air conditioner in my workout studio just stopped working… ugh! It’s 98 degrees outside. Truly, I couldn’t believe how fast they got here. After the guys inspected the air unit on my roof, I received the bad news that the unit is over 20 years old and has just died… no chance in fixing. I was heartbroken because I can’t conduct a business in this heat without air conditioning.
Then my miracle happened… at 5:40 this morning all of a sudden I see Damien pulling up to the front of my studio with a brand new commercial air conditioner! I almost cried. Damien sent for a crane, then the crew arrived and installed this beautiful and much needed air conditioner! It is now 10:00 am and the new unit is working fabulously! Better and more efficient!
Damien and you guys, you saved my business! Thank you so very much! You are the Best!

My AC was on the fritz. First, I called someone from Angie’s List looking for a deal, but they couldn’t find the problem. Then, I remembered my sons baseball coach who owns So-​Cal Heating and Air. Damian, a true super hero of Heating and Air. He fixed my AC in the blink of an eye and was so nice and knowledgable!!! He fixed it for free and gave me a part for free as well. My only regret is I didn’t think of him first.
He really knows what he is doing and I will always call him in the future. I hope he lets me pay him. He is also an outstanding person and runs an outstanding business. He is also an awesome and positive baseball coach as well!

About a year ago, I was getting a part at a local HVAC supplier and met Damian there just by happenstance. He had overheard my questions to the representative and heard that my handyman was trying to take care of the situation and he had thought it was a fuse. As I was leaving Damian came to my car, gave me his card, and suggested my handyman videotape what he’s seeing and that he himself would be happy to help him via video chat. I couldn’t believe it. It’s so nice to meet caring people in this day and age. I took his information home. Since we didn’t end up having a way to video chat, we called Damian and he said he would come take a look. He was so impressed with my handyman and his ability that he stated that which is rare, and he said the reason the fuse blew was to protect the system and that it needed a major part. He left without charging me, saying that he would be happy to help get the part or do the work. I ended up liking his whole demeanor so well that I decided to hire him to do the job that way I would have a licensed HVAC person behind it. And I have lived happily ever after since that time… until today. The weather has been very warm lately and my AC is not keeping up with the heat. So, I called his office and spoke with Tracie. I explained my new situation and she said everyone is having this type of problem because of the humidity which is normally not an issue in Southern California. She was so nice and told me that the first thing I should try is to replace my filters and that I should see much relief from that. I certainly will try that and appreciate how helpful and knowledgeable both she and Damian have been. They’ve been so nice to work with!

So Cal Heating & Air installed a new A/​C unit in my house. Permit went smoothly. They were reliable, honest, and did a great job. Communication was excellent. Price was fair. Very happy customer.

So Cal Heating and Air did a fabulous job replacing the HVAC system in my old house. I had four bids and while they weren’t the cheapest, I was most comfortable with Damian. He came highly recommended to me and did not disappoint. The entire job was done in less time than anticipated and it works flawlessly. I would call them again in a heartbeat.

I’ve used SoCal Heating & Air for many years on different properties. He came out to my mom’s house to fix her heating unit. He was very sympathetic to my mom’s illness and did a $ 250 repair for free. You just don’t see companies do things like this anymore. Damian, the owner is a great guy! I highly recommend this company for any air conditioner + heating jobs needed!

Quick response back (considering it is the day before a holiday) and helped me diagnose the problem on the spot for our heater.
Damian was professional and got me a fair price for a part that we needed for our heater. Service and response time was very quick.
Definitely recommend him!
I posted a picture of his business card that has a more updated phone number than the one that is listed here on Unilocal

Thank you Damian for the five star service!!! You warmed our home before the storm hit!!!

We recently tore down and rebuilt a new home. Throughout the 2 l/​2 year process there are very few people I would recommend or use again. For those I did not appreciate, the will not see a post. For those such as So-​Cal Heating & Air, they will see a post thanking them for being easy to work with, providing quality service and working well with others! Thank you for a fantastic service and your great professionalism!

Damien and his crew are top-​notch! We were selling a rental property and found that the HVAC system was in terrible shape. This was a rush situation as we didn’t want to lose our buyer and Damien made it happen. A great system was installed ASAP. This was the third property that he had serviced for us and the service and support we received was really above and beyond anything that I had ever experienced. I will never use anyone again.

This locally-​owned company has been doing my heating and AC for almost 10 years. When I bought a very old house 5 years ago, they installed a new furnace and AC unit and all the ducting. It all works very well, and my friends who know about these things say what they charged me was a really good deal.
What’s been amazing about them is the customer service. They are always so friendly, helpful, and easy to contact. I have had no issues with the systems, as they still run like new, but when I have a question about how to program the thermostat, or have someone out for an annual inspection/​checkup, they are great about accommodating my schedule.
I wouldn’t call anyone else!

These guys are fast, professional, and reasonably priced. I bought a heating/​ac system and also added a «whole house fan» based on their recommendation. Good call, i never would have considered it without their counseling, which is part of their package.
Get a least 3 estimates, and if you end up picking this crew you will not regret it.
