Best Air Duct Repair in San Diego CA

I had some problems with Ideal in the past (see 2012 review) but they have fixed some of that and I am a fan again.  Please read the following...

I have used Ideal for many years. Had the entire house re-ducted for the HVAC.  The old duct was the cardboard coated with asbestos type.  They safely (think men in bunny suites) removed the old duct, installed a new sealed and highly efficient duct system and super-insulated the attic.  Also installed a gable fan to more effectively vent the attic (I know there is controversy about these but in this case it really helps.)  They have also done plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom (new toilets, sinks, etc), appliance installation and electrical work.  In all cases they have been professional, kind and highly skilled and the price was reasonable.

Bottom line, they do quality work with professionalism, respect for you and your home, and skill.  They are flexible about prices and will work with you to help meet your budget.  I have to say that you can't go wrong with Ideal.  Pretty much when anything in the house breaks I call them!

I called to have my toilet wax ring replaced and ended up needing to have my flange replaced also. The plumber that came out had my toilet off the drain and replaced the wax ring then said he would have to come back to replace the flange so he re-set the toilet and charged me $200 to do what he called a temporary patch job. He then sent me an estimate to replace the flange and new wax ring for a little over $600, so in all he was going to charge me $800+ for a wax ring and flange replacement and he was double charging me for not fixing it correctly the first time. I didn't ask for a patch job and also don't believe it costs anywhere near $800+ to fix a toilet flange.

Bill Howe plumbing had a Manager, Scott, call me after posting the above review. Scott went over the estimate with me and said that it is what they normally charge people for that job! That is a rip off. Scott said the price should have been communicated by the office staff before they even come out to do any work. I was not informed it would cost over $200 for the wax ring and estimate, nor was i told it would be quadruple the amount to do the entire job until a later time. Scott also said a smaller company can do it for ¼ of the cost (which is exactly what it should be). They charged me $211.54 for a new wax ring patch job and my toilet still rocks side to side, and they were going to charge me $670 for a different technician to come back another day and replace the flange for a total of $881.54. They said the first guy couldn't fix it because he was in training and doesn't have the proper tools to fix it (not my problem). Also, according to Scott, the reason they are so expensive is overhead costs and you get a licensed technician to fix your problem (didn't get that). I got the guy in training, which is what Scott told me I would get with a smaller company. He said I probably wouldn't get someone that was licensed from a smaller company and they would take longer to get out to fix it (not true). I will not be using this company again in the future and I recommend you don't either.

Seriously fantastic service and overall good human beings. Immediate response, prompt arrival, good communication and best of all: HONEST!!  For starters, they come out and quote you free of charge. I asked if I could get same day service for repairs, no problem. They came out for what I thought was going to be an expensive fix. From what I described to him, he said likely minimum of $1500/3 days. After a quick inspection under the house, they thought it was going to be a leaky pipe behind wall, which was good news!  Less expensive than what I though it was. They went through pricing with me, according to the book and gave me a quote for $600 and they could be done in a day. After removing the toilet, to get to the  wall, it turned out to be a leaky toilet!!  He came out and said you just saved so much money!!, I said how!?! and he told me what they found.... SO grateful!  Will absolutely use these guys again and highly recommend.

After I talked to the office, they re-send technician to fix the issue.
Now i can properly install the stove and valve is located on right spot.
Thanks

Excellent service!
I called this company on Thursday and they came out on Friday and fixed the problem, completing it the same day.  Their quote was $1300 less than my first quote from another plumber for the issue, a tree root into the main sewer line. Alex and Ortiz were extremely friendly. And Eli worked with my payment plan.  I am extremely pleased and will definitely use them in the future if I have any other plumbing issues.

I highly recommend this company.

I hired Same Day thru Home Depot to replace/supplement inadequate heating and air conditioning duct work.  Basically they came in and fixed another company's shoddy work that I had paid for several years ago. What a difference! These guys were amazing. From the estimator Jeff C. to the installers, everything was first class and professional.  Jeff Freedman and Jamie were the technicians and kept me informed  of every step. It was a 3-Day job during our latest heat wave. They would telephone when they were on their way, showed up masked, and vacuumed before they left. Aside from the consideration and professionalism they showed, they clearly knew what they were doing. I now have an efficient, quiet, and comfortable working system.  Same Day orchestrated a permit with the county as well as a HERS test. They made it easy for me. I was absolutely impressed at the work ethic of this team, especially Jeff Freedman.  Jeff made it clear that he wanted me to be satisfied with the finished product at completion and I am. I highly recommend this company.

Brandon was awesome! I needed someone to come out and scope a 50+ year old sewer line for a client with only day or two notice and Brandon was on time, courteous, clean, and meticulous. Highly recommend and will be using him for our own home needs from now on. Note- even though the lines had cracks they will not have to dig up the lines to repair, which is awesome. Thanks Brandon!

I had a problem with my air conditioner freezing over.  I read on-line that it could be due to a lack of coolant (go figure).  

Based on Yelp reviews, I called up Thompson Heating and AC and made an appointment.  Garrett showed up.  I explained the problem to him and he said he'd check it out rather than just proceeding on what I'd told him - this is a really good practice if you actually want to fix the problem.

Sure enough the pressure was low.  Before he charged it, he told me that it was an old system (25 years old) and may still have a leak, albeit a slow leak.  He laid out the options in simple language and the risks/costs associated with each option.  I chose to charge the system.

If there is a leak, they'll be at the top of the list for replacing the unit.  

Bottom line:  friendly, professional, and knowledgeable for a decent price.

Highly recommended.

Don't make MY mistake.... call Jerry FIRST!

I came home after 11pm to my pool fill valve broken and water overflowing for over a mile! After calling ANOTHER plumber (24 hour emergency) I finally saw him arrive after 2:30am. He informed me that he didn't have the parts to fix it, but that for over $500 he could CAP the valve and send me a quote for him to return and fix it... I knew this price was insane, so I declined the service and was charged $206 just for him arriving (smelling like booze) over 2 hours after I called...

Next morning my wife found Jerry's on yelp and he was quick to say he could help me. Jerry came quickly and FIXED my broken valve for $225 and was friendly and understanding. I WISH I had gone with him first! A job that cost me $431 could have cost me only $225 WITHOUTthe headache and lack of sleep!

Jerry is a good man and I will continue to use his company for any of my plumbing needs and would recommend him to everyone I know!

I wrote a one-star review earlier today because of back-to-back late and/or rescheduled service calls. I'd like to amend my earlier review because Erin, the public relations manager called me immediately after reading my review and apologized for both instances. She said that kind of service was unacceptable and shouldn't have happened and she refunded the fee I had already paid for my yearly VIP membership! Very few companies will go that far, and I appreciate it very much. Raul, the technician who came to check my air conditioner today, did an excellent job on the yearly maintenance and he included an upgrade for no charge, as instructed by Erin. 5 stars for both Erin and Raul and for the company as well. My faith has been restored!

I am impressed with the response we received. I feel we have now found a reliable and trusty plumber. We have had them back to our home again and experience was great, and happy with the service. Will have them back again soon for added services. Would recommend

THA Plumbing Heaing & Air Inc. is the BEST! Hektor & Mathew are honest and very responsive. THA replaced my broken AC Unit just in time for summer. Ismael and Luis installed my new AC unit, they were quick and finished everything same day. Plus their pricing was very competitive. Very good experience, Thank you THA!

We had an air conditioner/ furnace installed today and everything went perfect. Nick and Jeff provided us with exceptional service with our new Lennox System.  We would highly recommend them should you need a system for your home,  contact Nick for a home assessment of your system needs.  We believe you will be highly satisfied that you did.
