AARD Mechanical Air Conditioning & Heating

I recently had Allan come out to perform maintenance on my AC unit and I couldn’t be happier with the service. He arrived on time, was courteous and professional throughout, and took the time to explain what he was doing at each step. The unit is running smoothly and efficiently now. It’s rare to find a technician this knowledgeable and thorough — Allan is my go-to from here on out. 10/10!

Short version: AARD is truly a one-of-a-kind, family-owned business that genuinely cares about its customers. They provide high-quality work at very reasonable rates. I was especially impressed with their communication and the level of commitment they showed throughout the entire process.Our system is finally up and running properly again, and I only wish we had chosen them as our original installer during our remodel. Instead, they came in and fixed what hadn’t been done correctly the first time. Highly recommend! Longer version: Our system had been making a strange grinding noise every time we turned on the heat, and we could never figure out where it was coming from. On top of that, it took forever for air to reach the upstairs. The company that originally installed our system came out several times but couldn’t identify the problem. After so many visits with no real answers, I lost confidence in their work. I started looking for another HVAC company and kept seeing great reviews for AARD, so I decided to give them a call. Scheduling was quick and easy, and they even offered a free inspection, which was a nice bonus. To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first and expected a quick visit followed by a sales pitch. That wasn’t the case at all. When Joshua came out, he was incredibly thorough and took the time to carefully diagnose the issue instead of rushing through the appointment. He explained what he was seeing, gave us multiple repair options, and even changed our air filter for us before leaving. The next day we received a very reasonable estimate with several options, and once we approved the work they scheduled us within a few days after confirming the parts. On the day of the repair, Allen was the technician who came out. What really impressed me was that instead of simply replacing the motor — which we initially believed was the problem — he took the time to listen to my concerns and re-evaluate everything. It turned out the issue wasn’t the motor at all, but the burner and a few other components. Even better, Allen came up with a smarter and simpler solution for reducing our zones that required less work and actually saved us money. He also coordinated with his management team to get the necessary parts the same day so the repair could be completed properly. He took his time, tested everything thoroughly, and made sure the system was running perfectly before he left. Overall, I’m incredibly impressed with the level of care and professionalism from AARD. It wasn’t just the technicians — the management team and office staff were also excellent throughout the process. It’s rare to find a company that is this responsive, honest, and focused on actually solving the problem rather than just selling a repair. I would absolutely recommend AARD to anyone looking for trustworthy HVAC service.

I recently had AARD Mechanical complete a full HVAC system replacement and ductwork redesign at our home in Placentia, and the experience from start to finish was outstanding. We installed a 5-ton AC Pro system (16 SEER2 inverter condenser with matching furnace and coil) along with a complete duct replacement that included 12 supply runs. From the beginning, AARD approached the project with a focus on overall system performance, not just equipment replacement. They took the time to explain airflow, duct sizing, and how everything would work together, which set them apart from other bids. Execution was just as strong. The crew was professional, respectful of our home, and maintained a clean and organized job site. Communication was clear throughout, and they followed through on everything that was discussed. I want to specifically recognize Tony, who demonstrated excellent customer service and real pride in his work. He took the time to answer every question I had, including detailed commissioning and system performance questions, and made sure everything was properly dialed in before completion. The final result reflects a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The pricing was also very competitive for the scope of work, which made the overall value even stronger. Overall, AARD delivered exactly what they said they would and took ownership of the project from beginning to end. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work done professionally and correctly.
