Best Air Duct Installation in Phoenix AZ

We are new to the Phoenix area so we asked friends who they would recommend, we got a couple of names and choose Larson. It was a VERY good choice. The tech who came (Chase) was very good, friendly and informed us of what he was checking and why. He had a recommendation that at this time he was not pushy about doing it, so we have time to research the item.

We will be using them again.

We have had our reverse osmosis and water softener for five years with great service all the way through. we recently needed new filters. Paul, at  their I-17 location spent all the time in the world answering our questions about testing the water, how to check if the filter needs to be changed, what else should be changed since it is 5 years old, how to do it. He did not try to sell any replacements unless we asked about them and them helped us determine if it was time, offered to let us bring our water samples and he would test them for free and we could see the results on his meter. Any associate we have worked with gives us the same satisfied results each time we call them with a question, need or problem.

As a follow on to Stepheni M.'s review, I wish I could give Hays 6 stars.  From design, estimation, through installation, setup and finally follow-up, everyone and everything exceeded expectations.  We were treated beyond what they said in the video advertisement.  We replaced 2 almost 20 year old 10 SEER mixed parts (mostly Trane, some Payne) systems with 2, 16 SEER Trane systems and then had them blow in more attic insulation, put some transom vents for air return in rooms where the doors are almost always closed, and add a supply register in a room that needed one.  When I say replace, I mean replace; they also said our plenums were way undersized so they replaced those too and what they said they were so spot on.  These units blow so much more cool air all through out the whole house so much better - they don't short cycle like our old system did, which was leaving hot spots (and probably higher electric bills).  So it was much more than just replacing old with new, they made sure that our system as a whole was operating better.  I'm convinced now that while some companies may be able to install new A/C and furnace units, but can they make sure everything is working well together like Hays did, that to me is a huge differentiator.  We found Hays based completely on web reviews and am so glad we did.  BTW, our OCD dog AJ already misses the guys!!!!

The technician Randy showed up to my home in less than an hour and it was a simple fix due to a wiring malfunction. He didnt try and up sell, he was in and out in less than 30 mins. Very satisfied and will defiantly use Arizona Experts in the future.

A+ service

Great service! We have asked The Dukes to come out to our resident twice for repairs of our A/C units. The service representative Dustin was professional, courteous, and honest. The office is quick to respond to service calls and communication about arrival time was clear. We plan on using this company again in the future and would highly recommend them.

Outstanding company with wonderful service!  Our A/C broke in early August 2021 and our home warranty couldn't find a contracted tech that could come out quickly enough, so the home warranty allowed me to find a local vendor.  Bumblebee happened to be the ONLY company, of the first five that I called, willing to work with the warranty company on getting paid for the service call.  
Bumblebee's tech, Krys determined our old A/C unit needed work beyond a simple fix.  The tech contacted our home warranty company and recommended the unit be replaced.  I'll skip the back and forth between our home warranty, Bumblebee and myself, but suffice it to say, our home warranty never intended to offer to pay for replacement of the unit and replacing the compressor would have taken several weeks, due to shortages.
Keep in mind, the early August temps were around 110 degrees with high humidity and we have a 2.5 year old.
Without asking, Bumblebee stepped in to help my family, during the hellish bout of hot weather.  The owner, Lisa, offered to provide 2 portable A/C units and I set those up in our baby's bedroom and in our bedroom.  Now, we didn't have to stay at a hotel!  
Flash forward to about a week later and I was getting nowhere with the home warranty deciding on how they wanted to proceed with a solution.  I purchased a new unit from Bumblebee and they happily replaced the old unit with a new one in a matter of a day and a half.  Krys reconnected our smart thermostat and we're happily enjoying nice indoor weather again!
Thank you to Bumblebee's entire staff that I have worked with: Krys, Lisa, Nicole and Jim.  You were all so friendly and thoughtful!

*Tip*
Put money aside for any home repair or maintenance issues.  I found out the hard (and very hot) way that our home warranty is only going to replace the unit if it's beyond repair i.e. the coils fail on the unit.  The warranty company will simply continue to charge you your annual fee and service call fee to put band aids on your A/C unit or other major appliance.  Add to that the shortage in A/C units and components and I think we would have waited several weeks before our warranty company would have been able to fix our aging unit.

We are so incredibly happy with our experience with Ideal. We renovated our 1954 ranch style block home about 1.5 years ago, which included adding all new ducting and new AC unit. Ideal did not do that work, our general contractor did. We noticed when we moved back in that the AC was VERY loud. Well, then we didn't use it from November - April and forgot about the noise. We turned on our AC again for this summer and were blown away by how loud it was. We had to turn on captions on the TV because it was so loud and it was really affecting our quality of life. I couldn't even hear my husband talking if he was 6 ft from me. We decided to call Ideal to come take a look.

They were very quick to send a tech out who pretty quickly diagnosed our issue as a high static pressure problem - essentially, our new AC unit was way too powerful for the one air return vent we had and it was like our AC unit was trying to drink an extra thick milkshake through a straw to get air returned. We then had the audit/sales guy come out who confirmed the problem as well as some additional technical stuff I don't remember. He presented us with 3 solutions at different price points, which I really appreciated. The no interest financing option allowed us to get this project done ASAP.

The work crew arrived right on time and provided us two phone calls on their way - which seems like not a lot to ask for but wow so refreshing! The crew got along great and went right to work. We could hear them problem solving as they figured out how the heck to fix all our issues and install a second air return while navigating a small old 1950s attic with zero crawl space. The guys managed to fix our issues and install a second air return and we literally can barely even tell our AC is on now. We went from jet engine comparable noise to barely any noise. So thankful for this competent company and for how quick and creatively they were able to solve our problem!

There on time.  Fairly priced.  Good people.  Young man named Drew was kind and professional.  I recommend to anyone

I get my AC checked out every year before summer and have used many different companies to take care of this task. I have to say, I have saved 1st Choice Mechanical in my contacts on my phone after today's visit. Tim showed up right on time, kept me in the loop as to what he and his trainee were doing and even showed me some tips to keep my unit running efficiently (no other company I have used have done that). They were courteous and covid safe. No mess after their work, it's like they weren't even here! I will definitely call on them again for next years service or any service in between! Great family owned business! Thanks again! Cheers!

Great experience with Gladiate air conditioning. I had an appointment for a routine maintenance appointment. Gabe was great; very honest, knowledgeable and efficient. He found an issue with my air conditioner that could have given out in the middle of the summer and fixed it on the spot. I have been dealing with service people for quite some time now and this is a very good company, highly recommend!!!!

I called David because the AC guy our contractor hired did a really poor job running new ductwork to our Master Bedroom. David was responsive and immediately knew how to fix the problem. On the day of our appointment, he was a bit under the weather but still made it a priority to make it happen. He did a great job and is just a great person in general. He has even been responsive to my questions after the job was finished. I highly recommend Biltmore Mechanical.

I was so happy with the work performed by Fidel. A real life saver and true professional. Thank you so much for taking great care of us in our time of need. We are cozy and comfortable thanks to you.

They were fast, friendly and professional. I felt like they gave a fair assessment of the issue and the options I had to remedy.

Tom was excellent and super patient with me. I called them out to find and change a filter in my salon and it ended up being 3 filters that would need changing and they were all on the roof Oi! Tom was patient while I contacted the landlord and got key codes etc. Not once did I feel like he was annoyed with me. Turns out that the landlord had changed the filters a week before (so stupid) so we Tom was very fair with his charge and I am glad to have an AC company I can trust.

Tracy was very prompt and found some issues during a routine HVAC inspection and tune-up on two of my properties recently. Explained what was wrong. The bills were very reasonable. He is my go-to HVAC man for all my properties now.

Hands down, The. Best.

Our 15 year old Trane unit died yesterday. With the house at 87' at around 5PM we called for service and were told Josh would be there between 7 and 9AM the next day. Josh appeared at 7 and diagnosed the unit as needing replacement and after a short call with Brian, we'd arranged for purchase and install of the new Trane TODAY!

Vince the foreman was amazing.  Excellent service - was kind, fast and helpful with updates. By 1:20 this afternoon, the house was cooling off and the new unit was running. We cannot say enough good things about this company as well as each person we interacted with. A wonderful experience, these guys did great work, were thoughtful, courteous and respectful of us and the property. A five-star experience.

One month ago Matthew and his associate Aaron arrived first thing in the morning to install a ductless a/c and heating unit in my 720 sq. ft. garage in Scottsdale.  The goal was to reduce the 110F+ furnace temperatures inside during summer to make the space a usable workshop and to reduce heat damage to the many rubber parts in my old machines.  Matthew helped me spec the appropriate unit and also advised on insulation issues.  The work was completed by the evening.

This was a 'turnkey' installation, meaning that M&R Refrigeration did all the procurement, installation and related electrical work.  I procured attic insulation separately and insulated the insides of the garage doors myself.

The whole experience showed this contractor to be of the highest integrity and skill.  Pricing was fair and competitive. Everything was done exactly as promised, with strict compliance with the timetable.  There was no damage to exterior stucco or internal drywall. Communication was clear and the pre-inspection process was done carefully to ensure that there were no surprises when it came to installation.

It is 100F outside as I write, and I am returning to the garage in a few minutes to turn some wrenches in 76F comfort.

M&R's work comes with a 10 year hardware and a 10 year labor warranty.

I recommend M&R Refrigeration without any reservations.

Contacted to troubleshoot a recent installation. Came out next day. Charlie was detailed orientated and communicated in layman's terms. Reviewed everything and more while resolving the issue. Would highly recommend.

Howard Air is like dealing with a Used Car Sale Person. They will tell you everything you want to hear as they gouge you on products you don't need. The following happen with my estimates and follow up questions I had for Howard Air.
Was told I needed both my condenser pads replaced at $125 each for $250. As they weren't level and would void the warranty. I followed up in email on why they needed to replace. The sales person said because they will crack with the new system. So which was it? Actually all that needed to be done was level the new unit on the condenser pad.
I have two Nest thermostats, was told there not compatible to the Trane unit. That I would need two new thermostats at $500 each for $1,000. When I emailed the sale's person his response was it would void the warranty by Trane. I contacted Trane customer service and was told it would NOT void the warranty. The Nest are compatible for two stage A/C units. Once agin the sale person forgets the reason why he's taking advantage of you at your home estimates and follow up email question.
Howard Air wanted to charge $176, for dry wall repair for removing the trim for attic access. That insert for the attic is one piece that come's out and goes back in. But they wanted to gauge me for another $176, for something I didn't need.
I asked for a break out on the estimate for all charges, which they refused to do. They give 10 year labor warranty, which I wanted to know what that cost was.
They offer 72 months 0%interest, which is nice for $302 per month. I asked if they could take $900 off the estimate. Which they agreed at 36 months for 0% interest at $580 per month. WOW $900 less and they change the financing so greatly. Reminds you of what a Used Car Sale's Person does.
Howard Air is not there to help the customer, only to make all $$$$ they can from you the customer.
If you want a company with INTEGRITY, call someone else!
