Hillary Gage says, "My AC unit went out during one of San Diego's hottest weeks and we were definitely feeling it at the house. I tinkered around with it and tried my best to troubleshoot, but to no avail. I got in touch with Straight Shooter and they sent a tech (Nick) out the next day to assess the problem. He initially diagnosed that the issue was a faulty thermostat as there was no power going from the controller to the unit. He installed a new Ecobee smart thermostat for me (which I love and completely recommend). After that, the unit started right back up. And you would think the story ends, there, but no, there was another issue yet to be discovered. Nick noticed that the air above the fan on the unit was really just ambient temperature, when it should be warmer than the air around it. He checked the coolant pressure on the unit and discovered it was completely empty. He then started taking off the cooling line housing that runs up the side of the house and into the attic and saw that the coolant was leaking out. I had just had the roof on the house redone earlier in the week and the AC went out while the roofers were working on it. Nick climbed up into the attic and discovered that the roofers had accidentally shot a nail through my cooling line, causing the AC to shut down. He took pictures, documented everything, and talked me through all the troubleshooting steps he had taken so I knew what was going on and how to explain it. He then encouraged me to reach out to the roofing company to see if it was something they would be willing to fix. I did just that and the roofing company sent their HVAC tech the next day to correct the problem. Nick was thorough, he was professional, and his attention to detail and documentation of his findings helped me explain the issue to the roofing company who fixed the problem at not extra charge to me. Nick was awesome and so is Straight Shooter. Fantastic customer service and expertise in their field. I will absolutely reach out to them in the future for any HVAC repairs or maintenance that I require."See more

Susie S. says, "So far so good, this company literally contacted me within moments of my completing the form. I met up with 2 representatives, one for electrical and one for hvac. I was highly impressed with both of the men, who were friendly, helpful, obviously knew what they were speaking about, and answered all of my questions. This customer service right up front was the thing that helped me decide to do business with this company. So I hired for both electrical and hvac."See more

Walter Deal says, "Bob Jenson has serviced our heating/AC system for about 10 years, including replacing a mini-split heat pump system several years ago. Weve also subscribed to their Maintenance Program during the period theyve been servicing our system. Weve always been pleased with their work theyre on time, courteous, and thorough.Let me give one recent example. Our main AC system stopped working one evening only warm air coming out the vents. I called Bob Jenson on the 24-hour number, and they gave me an appointment the next day (try doing that with any AC company on one of the hottest days of the summer if you dont have a Maintenance Program or equivalent). Brian came out, and diagnosed the problem as a bad start capacitor. He said someone would bring a capacitor from their warehouse, and he would wait for it to arrive and then install it. It turned out they didnt have the right capacitor in stock. Brian then went on his own to a supply house, bought the capacitor, returned to our house, and installed it and all is cool. My guess is that most technicians working for most companies would have said they would be back another day with the right capacitor, and would have left us to swelter. I consider Brians effort to be well beyond the call of duty, and exemplifies the service weve received from Bob Jenson."See more

Kate C. says, "As a commercial contracting company, we often face unexpected challenges that require immediate attention. Recently, we encountered a last-minute issue at a job site for one of our valued clients. John Padilla Plumbing came through for us in a big way, responding to our call immediately and agreeing to come out on short notice--on a Saturday, no less. From the very first interaction, their communication was exemplary. We received an email with a picture of the technician, Anthony who would be arriving, which added a personal and professional touch. The technician Anthony called us while en route and again before leaving the site after the repair was completed, ensuring we were informed every step of the way. In our line of work, we collaborate with plumbing companies daily, and I can confidently say that John Padilla Plumbing stands out from the rest. The quality of their service, the professionalism of their team, and their ability to get the job done right--especially under tight deadlines--are second to none. If you're looking for top-notch service from a company that knows how to deliver, look no further than John Padilla Plumbing. They have earned our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be working with them again in the future."See more

From Thumbtack Customer

The Right Choice Heating and Air
The Right Choice Heating and Air
I’m sharing this review in the hopes of helping others avoid the excessive expense and frustration I encountered with a simple air conditioning maintenance call. In the end of September, one of two Water Source Heat Pump Units in my condominium went out. I put in a simple maintenance request in Thumbtack and got three quick responses. The first bid was from Right Choice Heating and Air, and it ended up being the lowest bid of the three at $75. The low bid coupled with their positive reviews on Thumbtack led me to select Right Choice Heating and Air to help me get my air conditioner up and running. Scheduling was relatively easy. I spoke with Jasmine who helped me schedule for a time when I could take off from work for an extended lunch in order to meet the technician at my condo. Jasmine explained the technician would need two hours just in case repairs were necessary. We scheduled 1200-1400 on Thursday, 29 Sep 16, and I requested that the technician arrive as close to 1200 as possible so I could get back to work if it ended up being a quick fix. At 1130 Thursday morning I had a voice message from Andrew saying their technician Adam would be at my condo at approximately 1200. Adam ended up arriving at 1240, and immediately asked me if security would be available to give him access to the roof. I had checked with the Smart Corner condominiums HOA, and they assured me the technician wouldn’t need access because the water source heat pumps are located within the condominiums. Adam was frustrated with that answer, arguing that he had been to Smart Corner previously and couldn’t fix the problem because the owner didn’t get “security” to give him access to the roof. Frustrated with my HOA, I called my representative back and said they were wrong and Adam would need access to the roof. They politely explained Adam was wrong, and asked to speak with him. I handed him the phone and he verified the same. In the end the HOA was correct and Adam didn’t need access to the roof, but I never got an explanation as to why he was confused and why we needed to cause drama with my HOA. By approximately 1250, Adam was on his ladder looking above the ceiling tiles at the air conditioning unit. By approximately 1310 he determined he needed a part from his truck. I asked if he had figured out what was wrong, and he said it was a failed capacitor. Even with the unnecessary argument he prompted between me and my HOA when I thought he was correct, I was happy Adam had a quick fix. He came back upstairs with the new capacitor, swapped it out, and was finished and checking the temperature of the cool air coming out of the vents by 1330. This is where things went downhill quickly. He said the charge for the repair would be $249. After passing out and coming back to, I asked him how much the capacitor cost. He said it was $179. He didn’t know it at the time, but he left the new capacitor’s package on my counter when he went to get his ladder and I had quickly done a price check on it. I Googled the new part (Mars Motor Run Capacitor #14281) and found many companies selling it. The two cheapest were $27.67 at PlumbersStock.com and $32.65 at Ferguson.com. I politely said that was quite the markup, and that the Thumbtack quote said, “Our service charge is $75 per unit, for a full diagnostic inspection on the centralized system. If you choose to have us do the repair, however, we will credit the $75 service charge back to you in full toward the cost of the repair.” I was confused as to how I ended up with a $30 capacitor and one hour of a technician’s time for $249. He was very polite, and said he could ask his manager, “if there is anything he can do.” At 1340, exactly one hour after Adam arrived, I followed him down to his van where he began to fill out the invoice. As promised, he called his manager Steve, who said told him the best he could do was a $20 discount for a final price of $229. After hanging up, Adam made me feel better by saying at least it isn’t a heat wave. During a heat wave we charge $350 for this type of call. Bottom line, the entire experience was shady. It’s a pretty simple ploy when you think about it: Give the consumer the lowest bid possible to hook them in, and then charge them 332% more than your initial estimate. And if they think it’s too expensive, have the technician call the manager to give them an 8% discount. I’m uploading a pdf copy of my invoice showing a $229 charge for “Parts: Capacitor”, as well as a picture of the packaging of the new Mars motor run capacitor. Hire this company at your own risk, and get ready to pay way more than you think you will for the service call.
