Vader Air Conditioning & Heating Inc

They are up front, available and SMART. While they couldn’t resolve the issue I had due to my house not having the correct electrical service to support the new thermostat I wanted, they did respond to phone calls promptly, came by when asked and did everything I asked for. Would recommend in a heartbeat. You in trouble, call these guys.

These Guys Are The Greatest took care of my heating needs especially with the current weather conditions… May The Force Be With Vader Air

The LACK of professionalism, respect, and humbleness from a small business is something that is 100% intolerable when you solely rely on patrons to survive in this competitive world of owning a small business. But when it comes from a small BLACK owned business that I try to support, it’s disgusting. Phillip made my husband and I feel worthless, and unimportant simply because we weren’t at the top of his list of projects as the most profitable. I won’t go into detail because it will take me over an hour to put everything in depth, but Philip just for your «fyi, that was pathetic how you rang the doorbell, dropped off our motor in front of our door, and drove off. A face to face apology for how you talked to my husband on the phone would’ve been nice and the right thing to do. And lastly, you shouldn’t text your customers at 10pm at night after a poor lack of professionalism with us to tell me that you’re still going to charge me your ridiculous $ 85 fee… when you left my family stuck, hot, and vulnerable to all the bulls&*t you told us from last Thursday to Monday… yesterday…Couldn’t talk to us in person last night when you left our motor in front of our door, but you’ll text me about a charge. Absolutely ridiculous.

Request to install basic non digital 20.00 therm stat from home Depot. Quote $ 95.00Came late, no phone call, I called, gave me attitude, gave different price over phone ($ 285) WOW!!, I read the other great post, but read only one neg. Just my luck that’s the guy that I got. The Negative Mr. Phillips. Like the other poster said i didn’t like his vibe but maybe you will have better luck with him. Good Luck.

Had a great experience with Vadar air. The owner was the one who came out, he was such a funny, nice guy, and did a great job in fixing our condo’s air conditioner (which was still cooling but was raining water down from the access hatch when some such or other drainage pipe had slowly developed a clog. Pricing was fair, service was excellent!

Philip came to my house because we needed to install an AC/​heating system. He left and never contacted us again with a typed up proposal. Bad customer service.

Called Vader for a quote and was appalled at the lack of professionalism. Very disrespectful towards the customer. Could care less if their pricing was a little more competitive. Would rather pay more than deal with their disrespect.

I found Vader after calling a couple other places on Unilocal.The first three places could not accommodate my schedule and were very inflexible on the appointment time and window, and didn’t seem to care.
When I called Vader, Phillip was willing to come out in the evening due to my work schedule. He was extremely helpful, professional, efficient, and the pricing was fair. In the future, I will call Vader first.

I recently received service on my older forced air heater and was very pleased with the overall customer service experience.
Phillip the repairman was prompt, courteous and informative. He encouraged me to look over his shoulder as he did the inspection and repairs as I wanted to learn more about my heating system including how to change the filter. He quickly found the cause of the problem which was a small fuse and Phillip provided me with information about an additional repair that I needed — but there was no pressure.
I ended up getting the additional item repaired which was just slightly over my budget but I feel the price was fair. I would recommend this company as a reliable and fair vendor.

Called Vader Air Monday morning at 9 am had a tech at my house before 10am. The technician was fast efficient and friendly. Truly wonderful service.

I am very satisfied with their services. They are very professional and informative. I immediately noticed the improvement in my air conditioning unit. Also, the services were quick and efficient.

Vader Air did fabulous work in my home recently. I needed central air conditioning installed and a heater replaced. Phillip and his crew arrived promptly at the exact time he said he’d be there. He pulled permits for me and was there to meet the city inspector when work was completed. It only took them one day to complete the entire project. Other companies who provided bids said it would take 3 – 4 days.
One of the things I like about Phillip is that he explains everything in detail so that I was able to understand exactly what he was going to be doing. He was referred to me by a neighbor, and I’m so glad.
If you are interested in a contractor that arrives on time, does what he says he’s going to do, cleans up after himself and crew, and returns phone calls pronto – Phillip’s Vader Air is the way to go. To top it off he has a great sense of humor and is nice as can be.
Highly recommended.

We purchased a central air conditioner/​heater unit from Vader and the experience and service was exceptional. Mr. Walker is knowledgeable, efficient and very professional. My husband and I are very satisfied and would highly recommend Vader Air Conditioning & Heating.
The Shabazz’

Fast, professional, attention to detail, and excellent customer service!
I recently purchased a home with a no air condition and a dysfunctional central heating unit that I was ready to replace.
I called Vader and Phillip came out same day. He diagnosed the problem and took the time to educate me on my needs. Instead of selling me a new heating unit, which I didn’t need, he and his A-​team fixed the heating unit by uninstalling it, properly re-​installing it with a filter, drip pan, and other necessary components to bring it up to code saving me several hundred dollars. In one work day they fixed the heating unit and installed a 3 ton A/​C all for a very reasonable and competitive price.
I am now sitting super cool and comfortable in my newly air conditioned home protected from the summer heat and prepared for winter. THANK YOU!!!

These guys were great. Aside from the fact that they charged me over $ 200 for a part that retails for $ 20 online. But who’s keeping track. I guess I am since I searched it.
Also, they sell you on their maintenance plan after their service.
But anyway, the guy who came out to help me with my AC was cool. He was able to sucessfully diagnose what the problem was and fix it. I have cool air now thanks to Vader.

After years of the South Bay gradually getting hotter during the dry season (thanks global warming), we decided to finally get AC.
We called around a few times, and Phillip from Vader Air had same day availability, so we had him come over for an estimate, and later an installation. He looked at my system, explained to me all the parts I needed and why, and essentially walked me through each step of the installation (I like to inquire often as to why and how a contractor is doing something).
Overall, he and his team were very knowledgeable, professional, and did not seem to mind answering all of my questions. Phillip is licensed, certified (including NEST installation, which we have now), and most importantly to me, honest.
I would definitely recommend.

It’s always hard to tell from reviews on these kind of service based businesses what you will get but we were so pleasantly surprised by how fast and affordable Vader was. Thank you Unilocal Familia for the help!
Right in the middle of the holidays we were in a pinch to get some work done on our AC units. After a quick call to Phillip, he gave a great quote and said he could be out to our house ASAP. We called around some other places but he easily beat out the rest of the bids so we scheduled him. He came over, did the job in a jiff and explained it all along the way so we knew what to watch out for in case of any problems in the future.
Hopefully we won’t need to call him out again but if we do I’d be happy to give my business to him :).

Bottom Line: exceptionally professional service and value! Would definitely call them again… and again.
Story:
My wife and I have started doing landscaping in our backyard and decided to relocate the AC unit (condenser or compressor?) in order to make more space in our small yard. I estimated that it would be an easy job and that the unit only needed to be moved about 8 feet over. This involves physically moving it, extending the electrical line, and extending/​braising 2 high pressure copper pipes.
Over the phone, Phillip gave me an estimate for $ 475 and this was the best price in town so we made an appointment for the next day. When he arrived he explained that it actually needed to be relocated 12 feet. I agreed based on logistics, regulations, etc. I was initially afraid that the cost would go up considerably. However, being the nice guy, Phillip agreed to hold to the original price even though he had to drive back to his work in order to get longer piping.
During the whole process, Phillip was very nice and accommodating. He knew that I was interested in learning about AC units and did not mind that I was «bird dogging» him the whole time. And he was kind of enough to explain every step of the process. At the end of the job, he asked me if I was satisfied and explained to me what I should be looking for to make sure that the job was done correctly.
He is extremely technical and knowledgeable. He takes great pride in his work and is not in a rush to get out of there. I would trust him to work on my house anytime. Their work also includes a 6 month warranty but I dont think I will need it.
Funny thing, his phone kept ringing and his ring tone is one of the Star Wars songs… then I finally realized why its called «Vader» AC & Heating. Haha…

Easy, fast, and personable.
We used Vader to get a 2^nd opinion after our heater broke down during the cold spell. The repairman diagnosed and fixed the problem within 10 mins! It was actually a much simpler issue than the first company diagnosed (and they wanted to charge much more $ too).
Also, Vader was able to make a same day call. Much appreciated!

Philip showed up as scheduled, spent a while telling us what we needed and explained (in a Lot of detail) the concept of air conditioning. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He also gave us good advice about how we didn’t really need to do anything besides just a general servicing for our air conditioner.
Would recommend and use again.
