Richard's Heating & Air Repair, Inc., Livermore CA

Didn't advise us of the gaping hole in our crawlspace ducts while installing new AC unit
Spent a long time venting our cold air under the house.

Highly recommend - honest and competent HVAC repair!

We called Richard's Heating & Air Repair after 2 other companies. One of these companies actually caused our issue (Barker Heating and Cooling) and the other company only seemed interested in selling us a new unit (Miller's Air Conditioning and Heating) - see separate reviews about both these other companies (do not use them!).

Pete, the repair tech, quickly found that the service disconnect needed to be replaced (loose, corroded and did not have a good connection). We actually noticed this when our AC first stopped working but Miller's never mentioned it. Pete also quickly diagnosed that all our issues could be from Barker adding too much freon. He started at the beginning and diagnosed the issues in a way that made sense (we had no issue with the AC unit, had our summer pre-season maintenance performed by Barker, they added freon and changed the capacitor, then we started having issues with our AC failing as soon as the temperature outside was high 90+ degrees). Pete removed "a lot" of freon and so far our AC is working again (if this post is not edited, assume it's still working).

We are so grateful for an honest, competent HVAC repair company before we spent any more money on a problem Barker caused and Miller's failed to diagnose. Richard's charged us the least but did the best work. Richard's Heating & Air Repair will be getting our continued business, and they should get your business too!

Al and Bryce were professional and nice. Did not overcharge me or sell me something I didn’t need. Quick and easy!
