AIR SYSTEMS A/C-HEATING AND REFRIGERATION

Air Systems A/C has saved me money in the past by offering low cost alternatives to problems that arose with my builder-installed HVAC. I have always found them to be highly responsive with quality service and products. I purchased my latest HVAC from them when the builder's HVAC died at a very reasonable price and they were able to install it the same day. I was very impressed with the quality of the installation too. The new Trane unit has saved me a substantial amount on my monthly electric bill. I highly recommend this company.

So far, we could not be happier with our choice of our new Trane Heat Pump and with choosing Air Systems to install the system.

- Why we chose the Trane XV18 (3 Ton model).

- Our house was built 34 years ago and we have been the owners for 10 years. The original two Trane heat pumps have run very well during our time but the larger unit began to leak Freon (R22) so it was time to consider a new system and given our experience with Trane reliability, the brand was high on our list.
- It has been difficult to find unbiased measures on what system is best on the web. Everyone has their opinions. We relied on the Consumer Reports reviews and found that American Standard and Trane (now owned by the same company and built in the same factory) to be rated the highest.
- We paid extra for the XV18 not only for the increased SEER efficiency but also the quiet operation and how the variable compressor and fan can precisely hold any temperature you set it to.
- NOTE: This is not an inexpensive model. We do expect a reasonable return on our investment in electric bill savings but also feel that it will be a good selling point if/when we decide to sell the house.

- Why we chose Air Systems to install our Trane System

- I read that it is prudent to get at least 3 estimates. I ended up getting 5 (with Air Systems being the last): three estimates for companies that installed Trane Systems, one that installed American Standard and one who installed American Pride (A Goodman/Amana Company)
- One of the first estimates was from Jon Wayne Service Company. Jon Wayne only installs American Pride Brand Heat Pumps. Goodman and Amana are rated pretty low in Consumer Reports but I received a “Half-Off” equipment coupon in the mail so I thought I would at least get an estimate and if the savings was significant enough, I would consider using them. They seemed thorough in checking out the house and had a very polished sales pitch but in the end, to our surprise, even with the coupon their estimate ended up being by far the highest for a similar sized system that was rated one of the lowest in reliability.
- Champion AC installs Trane systems and I noticed they had a remarkably similar sales approach to Jon Wayne (a visual tiered system that seemed to make upselling easy). The price estimate seemed high (ended up over $5,000 more than I paid to Air Systems for the exact same system). I guess high frequency radio and TV marketing and Spurs sponsorship costs a pretty penny.
- Had two other estimates. The American Standard guy never even left the ladder to look at the existing system (located in the space above our second floor kitchen) and gave me an estimate that was crazy high. The last estimate was low in price but the estimator missed a few challenges that the others pointed out with the install (size of new system would not have fit in the footprint of the old system and would require it to be completely reconfigured with new ductwork).
- I was starting to get extremely frustrated. I started to scrutinize the reviews more and really liked the honesty, responsiveness and quality of work reflected in the reviews for Air Systems. I sent a text to Air Systems and within a few minutes I received a call from Mr. Carlos Jimenez (I believe he is the Co-Owner of the company) and we scheduled a time for him to come out. Carlos came out to look at our old system and sent us estimates based on different SEER levels. The estimates were good and we felt that Mr. Jimenez showed us the pride of a business owner and not a salesman.

- In conclusion, we could not have been happier which our choice of system and the installer. The workmen were friendly, hardworking and left the house cleaner than when they came. Big enough company to be able to handle the job efficiently (they had 4 trucks at times to our house during the 2 ½ day install) but small enough to have the company owner checking in a few hours every day to make sure things were being done right.

Outstanding service from Air Systems. Beginning with David, who diagnosed the problem, to Mark, Rick and Mike who did the install of the new system in staggering heat, to Carlos who researched 5 different options for us to choose from--all were outstanding! We've used Air Systems for years for our semi-annual checkups and they'd earned our confidence when it came time to replace the unit,

One of the units was not working. They came the same day I called for service. They went above and beyond my expectations. A/C was fixed, unit was cleaned and ducts were repaired! All these services for an affordable price!

Air System is a wonderful company. Mark is great. Very professional & friendly. The whole crew is this way. I wouldn't hesitate recommending them.

I have been using Air Systems for 9yrs and they are the best. They keep my equipment maintained throughout the year, the technicians are very thorugh when providing service to 2 units. Anita in the office is great at accommodating my crazy schedule, thanks guys

Air Systems replaced my entire HVAC system with a new Trane system. The installation process went very well. The technicians were polite, clean, and professional. The system has worked very well and I have signed up for the bi-annual preventative maintenance program that Air Systems offers, so that the new system continues to perform at its best. I would recommend this company to anyone who asks. In fact, I already have!

I obtained 4 proposals to have my complete A/C heating system replaced. Air Systems was selected based on a clear scope of work and the best value.

From start to finish, every aspect of the job deserves 5 stars. A very experienced crew with a great attitude completed the job in top fashion.

Carlos Jiminez ensured I received a quality job and his communication was top shelf.

Most importantly, you can trust Air Systems and Carlos Jiminez!

FINALLY!!! Air conditioning and heating companies are a dime a dozen here in San Antonio so you really have to do your due diligence in finding the right company you can trust with fair pricing and great service. Well, Air Systems is the one to go with. Trust me, I've called around and worked with numerous companies since living in my home for the past 10 years. The thing you cherish the most in your home during Texas summers is your air conditioning system and that it is working properly but unfortunately ours gave out. Supposedly, the outside unit was leaking and the indoor unit coil gave out at the same time. I spent a week with a leaking non working unit trying to get different opinions in diagnosis since I was told two different things by different companies. Every two days I had to get it recharged with freon. Every year or every other year it seemed something would go wrong with our AC so I got fed up and decided to bite the bullet and get a whole new complete system. So, I shopped around for pricing. I received or asked for five different bids from different companies and the price range varied greatly. It's amazing the price differences or quotes you can get from all these companies. Basically, they can all charge whatever they want and its up to us as a consumer to do our research. Be wary for the companies that only work with one brand and recommend that brand only. A good company will not only be willing but familiar in working with all brands and not push a particular brand for you to purchase. Im sure the ones that do get a discount or kick back for selling that brand but dont usually pass that discount to the consumer. Finally, I was tired of calling around and having specialists from different companies come by my house and give me different prices and recommend their brands so I made one last call. As luck would have it I called Air systems. Spoke with Mr. Jimenez and explained my situation and frustration and he came by on a Sunday morning since I couldnt wait any longer. He listened to my situation and I explained to him what I wanted. He didnt try to upsell me or push me with a certain brand. He was professional and told me he would email me a quote in a couple hours which he did. I read his reviews and they were spot on. His price for a new TRANE heating and cooling system outbid everyone by a mile. His crew came by a couple days later and installed everything. It is working like a champ. Mr. Jimenez and his crew are the best!! Very professional, knowledgeable, great prices compared to most, honest, prompt, and not pushy. All my calls or texts were answered in a timely manner and they left my house clean and picked up after themselves. No need for anyone to go elsewhere for your ac and heating needs because Air Systems is the business you can trust. My wife and I are very very happy with our new system and very happy that we no longer have to look around for a trustworthy company. I dont usually rave or rant on reviews but I felt it necessary to give Air Systems kudos and a FIVE star recommendation to everyone.

The technician, David, was extremely kind and more than professional. He was more than happy to answer our questions and address our concerns. In the situation where a part needed to be replaced in our air conditioning unit, he asked for permission prior to continuing with the labor and even showed us the part and why it needed to be replaced.
My only possible complaint would be the arrival time of the technicians; they were running a few hours behind schedule. However, they maintained contact with us throughout the day so we were able to adjust our schedule. Also, I suppose, this is an especially busy time of the year for HVAC now that it's heating up.
Overall, I suspect we will continue to call Air Systems for all of our air conditioning and heating needs.
