I would agree with everyone's positive comments about Gundlach's. I DISAGREE with Giovanni's review below. David Gallegos is a unapologetic racist online. That is NOT the kind of representation Gundlach's needs servicing its clients around Cali. Please fire this person immediately, or you're losing my business and many more black folks too! Despicable!

AC went out, first guy came took out my delay, disconnected the kickstart from its own capacitor, never questioned why kickstart has it's own capacitor, just went ahead did it anyway, got it running for a week, down again, new tech came, says it's the kickstart, Replaced a $40 part for $260, which only took 15 minutes to replace, horrible. this was a mistake on my part, a week later, AC down again.
Another tech came, ohhh it's a bad capacitor! We'll why didn't they figure that out in the first place. I think all these guys do is replace parts, I don't think they do any real solid technical diagnosis of the system, I fear that I will see them again next week. They're good at replacing parts which I can do but I'm looking for real professionals who can do solid AC work, find causes and understanding different types of systems. Gundlach techs are nothing but cookie cutter parts replacer company.

A tech went out August 2022 to check a 2.5 ton AC unit. They have specials of $49.00 for a diagnostic but they will also charge you for $49.00 for a trip charge which I didn't know you. It's deceitful. The tech informed me that the freon charge will be close to $1000.00. That is crazy price for a freon. Then the tech told me to replace the 2.5 ton unit will cost $20,000. I called Gundlach and according to her, the tech spent 1 hour just to check the freon line in and out.
The tech never spent an hour. It only took 15 minutes plus our conversation in total. The should be at least be considerate. This just made it impossible for me to do anything with it. There might be a freon leak so it's useless just to pump in. Be careful with Gundlach and look somewhere else before calling this Company. I will never ever use them again.

The Customer service here is fantastic! We had worked with a previous company that was telling us we needed a new unit after only being 3 years old, decided to call these guys for a 2nd opinion and so glad we did! They saved us thousands and were reliable and friendly. Jose was our tech and he explained everything he did and why which made me feel so much better. Fast, friendly, and reliable! Highly recommend

Don't do it. They set up high cost maintenance service plans, never seem to have right size filters (wouldn't that seem to be important for the service profile at some point?- the don't stock that size in my van gets old). Service guys are really nice, but office is a NIGHTMARE. Rude when you make any inquiry. They will keep billing you even when they haven't contacted you to schedule.
So scammy. When I inquired about my elderly parents billing the told me to mind my own business. I personally find that really unethical. Very disappointing. I really like to support small local companies.
