Irvine Air

I recently worked with Amin and his team to complete a major upgrade: replacing a 24-year-old AC and gas furnace system, plus a separate ADU unit, with two new heat pumps. It was a big project, and I had a fantastic experience from start to finish.

Amin was great to work with—he was incredibly patient with my questions and helped me navigate the options. He ensured we selected units that met my specific preferences for refrigerant and low noise levels, while also qualifying for federal tax credits. On top of the expert guidance, his pricing was very reasonable and competitive.

The installation crew was professional and did a great job. We ran into a few unforeseen issues during the process, but Amin and the team explained everything clearly and resolved the situations perfectly. They always kept me in the loop and explained the solutions and options. Some of the solutions required electrical work and painting, but Amin even went above and beyond by referring contractors to help who also had fair and competitive pricing. I highly recommend Amin and Irvine Air!

So much to say about Irvine Air, the crew, staff and the owner, Amin. Amazing service, like the kind you used to get back in the day when polite and courteous communication along with quick responses to questions clearly explained mattered. I feel the company through Amin and Roya went above and beyond to explain everything they were doing and that they were going to be doing. They were easy to work with and discuss all matters of the installation and equipment to be used in great detail before anything was purchased or set in motion for installation.

I came across Irvine Air after contacting up to 15 companies to replace an HVAC system with a heat pump model as part of the rather complicated HEEHRA program offering significant rebate for qualified new, efficient heat pump systems. Amin is an amazing guy who is of good heart in general and of great mind on all matters HVAC regarding home and business systems. He's always polite and authentically with you in the moment as indicated by his often good vibes and great smile. He got back to me in a timely manner after leaving a message for them regarding our needs and intentions. He gave me a ball park estimate over the phone after we discussed makes and models and some of the insider knowledge he has about different systems and their claimed and actual capabilities, reliability and their expected performance as related to all others in the marketplace.

His price was significantly better than any others I contacted and his vibe and tone indicated the most trustworthy of any of the other companies that I contacted. On that alone I felt we were getting the best deal possible since the person I trusted the most gave the more thorough and complete information at the best price for equipment and installation.

Going through the entire process of researching equipment that qualified for the program, turning in all needed documents, purchasing the HVAC system, the installation and the submission of final documents was a chore to say the least but the whole team at Irvine Air was always on top of things and ready to move the process along in an efficient way. By the end of the deal the rebate check was issued from the State and everything worked out smoothly with good feelings and well wishes.

The most important thing to take away from this review is that the HVAC installation industry is rather dodgy at best. It has become known as an environment of pitfalls and traps all around. In that environment, Amin and the people at Irvine Air are honest and trustworthy. That is the equivalent of finding gold in this industry and it is not something to overlook or incorrectly weigh as a variable when comparing HVAC companies.

If you can trust the company you go with then even if unforeseen problems come up, what you will have is a company that will give you an honest account and not take advantage of the situation or leave you high and dry. This matters immensely for big projects and investments like HVAC systems. For our experience, it was all very positive as we worked together and navigated the requirements of the program and installed a system that will save money and likely be around at the family home for decades to come.

I came to Amin after another company quoted me a price that seemed way too high for a replacement part. I ordered the part myself (for a fraction of the price), and Amin had no issues with installing it. He was also able to get the official version of that part for almost the same price, but much better warranty.

His colleague installed it super quickly, and explained all the questions I had for them. Both were great communicators. And all of this arranged within a few days! Their knowledge of the system, fast workmanship, and flexibility in how the installation was done, gave me great confidence that we got a high quality installation for a fair price.

It was fun to be able to speak Dutch with Amin--we discovered we grew up in the same region of the Netherlands. Groetjes!

Our 20 year old A/C units were getting hard to repair and I was not looking forward to dealing with A/C sales folk that represent the major brands. I looked up local Irvine Air.
Amin was so helpful in explaining how the newer A/C units were quieter with their smart inverter design. He pointed us towards the Brand that has the best customer response.
In less than 2 weeks we had 2 units installed in our 2 story house, and we're Cool again..! They had to cut our old units up for removal from the attic, and finished the job in just 2 days. ThankYou Amin..!
