Climatech Hvac Services Inc

Climatech Hvac Services Inc performs HVAC work in Oxnard, CA. Their calls often come through home warranty providers and focus on air conditioning units. Technicians handle pressure checks on outdoor equipment, refrigerant recharges, coil part replacements, capacitor swaps, and attempts to clear condensate drains. Customers reach them for system repairs when issues like warm air output or suspected leaks appear.

Reviewers describe repeated problems during these warranty visits. One customer waited three hours past the scheduled time only to see the technician skip leak checks and push for a recharge on a system already serviced two years earlier. Another noted technicians who skipped introductions, claimed to clean and adjust the unit, then left it blowing warm air because a fuse remained loose. A third waited months for an evaporator coil part that never arrived until a different company took over the job. Minor fixes like capacitors went smoother for some, yet others faced high charges for alternative refrigerants and refusals to use the correct type or adjust oil as needed.

Work patterns show up in how calls unfold. Response times include long delays on arrival, and follow-up communication leaves customers making extra warranty calls after fixes fail. Pricing draws complaints when technicians quote expensive refrigerant without allowing customer supply or completing required steps like oil changes. Service stays tied to warranty assignments rather than direct scheduling, with some proposals including work that later proved unnecessary.

“Extremely disappointing experience with Climatech through our American Home Shield claim. The technician arrived approximately 3 hours late. After arriving, he did not perform any leak diagnostics on our AC system. No electronic leak detection, no nitrogen pressure testing, no UV dye testing — he simply connected gauges to the outdoor unit, checked the pressures, and immediately concluded that we just needed expensive refrigerant recharge. What was especially concerning is that we clearly explained the system had already been recharged with refrigerant just about 2 years ago, which should reasonably raise concern about a possible leak or underlying system issue. Despite this, no actual effort was made to diagnose WHY refrigerant may be low. The technician also gave several inaccurate and misleading explanations regarding refrigerant recovery and reuse that were inconsistent with EPA and industry-standard HVAC procedures. Overall, the visit felt rushed, unprofessional, and focused on upselling refrigerant charges rather than properly diagnosing the problem. We now have to escalate the case and request a second opinion because we do not feel confident in the quality of the inspection provided. Would not recommend based on this experience.”

“If I could give them zero I would. I was assigned Climatech through my home warranty company. The guys came out and when they arrived, they never introduced themselves. They went right into the back yard. They claimed they cleaned the unit and made necessary adjustments. The same night after Climatech left, when I went to put the AC on, the unit was blowing warm air. I had to call the home warranty again, pay another dispatch fee. I requested a new company to service call. When the new company came out, they discovered the fuse wasn't plugged it!. Imagine that!! This company is not honest!! Save your money and time and go with a different company for your AC needs.”

“Am sad I couldn't give them a 0 stars. These were the pros hired via AHS( another scammer), when we had our HVAC repaired. They made us wait on a EVAP coil part endlessly. For almost 5 months, they kept saying part was back ordered. AHS was absolutely worse in helping us out or hiring another technician to perform a second check. Now, we have another pro come and check and the part is ordered within 4-5 days.”

“For minor repairs like capacitors they are great. Called through Home Warranty on a few occasions. Other AC companies may do the same thing but they wanted to fill up my R-22 units with R407 for $160/lb. R407 is only $15 per lb and they will not let you provide your own refrigerant and will not do the necessary service if you don't buy their over priced (and in this case wrong) refrigerant. They also stated they would not change the compressor to POE oil as required in a R-22 to R407 conversion. They can still buy R-22 for $60 per lb so why not just use the correct refrigerant if they are charging the same price for all refrigerants?”

“Got stuck with these guys on an American home shield service call for a leaky condensate pan… Terrible… , the technicians didn’t seem to give a damn about anything… Made a half ass attempt to unclog… Told me I should get a plumber to unplug the pipe in the bathroom… Then they left… then when they put in their proposal to AHS, it was gonna cost me 3500 bucks to do crap that didn’t need to be done…They were rude. They didn’t seem to care… Do yourself a favor go anywhere else”
