Called this company a day prior to service for HVAC unit. Waited for service all morning, called him, but he suggested to call other contractor because he was too busy.....when I expressed my frustration for not receiving a warning for missed appointment he called me an a....hole. Do not do business with this company, it is waste of time!

Our gas furnace (Carrier Weathermaker 8000) stopped heating. The main blower still worked fine but the burners wouldn't turn on. I called Bay Air HVAC Services and they sent out a crew to work on it. The Field Specialist (Richard Aredo) did a couple checks then stated that the furnace needed a new "inducer motor assembly" and that due to the age of the furnace, these parts were no longer available. He said I had to buy a new furnace and he would give me a "special deal" of only $5,500 to do the job. I said that surely this was a very common furnace and that replacement

If you don't mind throwing your money away and to get taken advantage of, then call Richard. My 70 year old mother was his latest victim. She was so desperate to have hot water again and didn't want to wait 10-14 days for replacement parts, that she unfortunately ended up calling Bay Air HVAC. Richard gave her what she thought was a reasonable quote until he handed her the final itemized invoice. He asked that she write the check out in his name only and to her surprise, he cashed it that same day. Talk about a shady crook, she didn't even have a chance to call her bank to dispute

Do not trust! We had the following challenges: 1) tripled the quoted price last minute, 2) didn't show up to the scheduled appointment, and 3) yelled at us when we asked why they didn't show up. We scheduled an appointment between 10 AM and noon. They quoted $95 for a service call. The morning of the appointment, they called us to say that the owner had changed the price. He wanted $350 because they had not been to our house before. Since we had been waiting for the appointment and needed the work done, we reluctantly accepted. Then, they didn't show up. We called them at noon to

NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY! They cut corners and put customers' health at risk. Five years ago Richard installed a new furnace in my 94 year-old father-in-law's home. He died last year and we've been fixing up the place. I tried to locate the air filter for the furnace and couldn't so I called Bay Air and asked where the filter was located. They told me to look inside the unit on top of the blower motor. Looking in there would require dismantling several parts so I called back and they sent out a technician. He couldn't locate it either and tried to convince me someone had

I called Bay Air HVAC about getting an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioner. They sent Richard out to meet me and look at the job. I spent over 30 minutes talking to him and asking him intelligent questions because I had done my research. If he knows you are getting more than one company to bid the job, then he won't send an estimate. He tells you to just go with the other company.

Rheem water heater purchased from this outfit in March of 2019 is malfunctioning just 14 months later. I called them believing that the unit would still be under warranty and I was informed that the warranty on this $2,000.00 water heater was good for 12 months only. Furthermore, it would cost $400.00 to repair it. Really?!? Two thousand dollars for a water heater that fails right after the warranty expires! I spoke with Richard today and he was very congenial. To be clear, Bay Area HVAC is not at fault for the problems we are experiencing with the water heater.
