I cannot say enough good things about Greg Weiss and Advance Performance Heating and Air.
Last year in Santa Barbara our house was so horribly hot that we broke down and decided we simply had to add air conditioning. We knew it was going to be expensive, so we asked on FaceBook and around town who people might recommend. We had 8 different companies come by and quote. Greg Weiss, from Advanced Performance Heating and Air, was probably about the 5th or 6th that looked at our place and quoted.
Greg was referred by a woman I know to have very high standards of excellence, so the fact that she was raving about him, was high praise indeed. She described him as being of high integrity, so that’s what I was expecting when I booked him for a quote.
The minute I met him, I felt at ease around him, his knowledge of the job and how he was going to approach it. He didn’t try to oversell or undersell his services. He wanted to do things by the book, including a City inspection and all the legit paperwork. He was Title 24 savvy and had attended a multitude of workshops and lectures to be up to date on that. [If you don’t already know what Title 24 is, you will once you undertake something like this] Greg struck me as being very transparent and someone who would honor his word. After he left, I found myself hoping he would come in with a competitive bid because I liked everything about him and how he was going to do the job.
As luck would have it, Greg’s bid was right in the middle of the pack. I phoned him immediately to get on his calendar. We booked the job for a few weeks out. The heat wave in Santa Barbara had air conditioning companies about as busy last Summer and Fall (of 2015) as the rain gutter companies were in the Fall and Winter after all of the (overblown) El Nino rain predictions.
Greg and crew came exactly at the time they said they would and they got the job done nicely. Sometimes you don’t really know what a company is like until something goes wrong and there were a couple minor moments like that with us. One when the compressor we were ordering was suddenly completely unavailable. Greg let us know ASAP and priced a better one at a reduced price for us. It was still a tad more expensive, but we were okay with going for an even quieter model anyway. I could tell by the tone of his voice and his emails that he was more frustrated than we were that this had happened.
After all of the work had been done, we called the City to inspect and they found some minor things that would need to be corrected before they could approve all of the work he had done. Some of these predated Greg’s work, but he came out and fixed all of them anyway. Today we passed the inspection with flying colors. Both City inspectors commented about the quality of the work done and seemed almost apologetic about the correction notice.
If you’re reading this review and you’re anywhere in the area that Advanced Performance Heating and Air covers, you owe it to yourself to get Greg out to your home or business and seriously consider him for the work. He’s a stand up guy, extremely likable and easy to be around. On top of that he obviously really cares about the quality of his work. It shows.
As I said to him the last time he was here, I wish he did more than just heating and air. I’d hire him for anything he said he could do.

Honest, knowledgeable, and quick. Setting up the appointment was a snap, the contractor showed up on time and ready to go, took time to explain everything and charged what was expected. I would hire him in a heartbeat next time my A/C goes down.

My furnace was blowing cold air so I called Greg instead of other bigger companies that overcharge. Greg found the issue and he cleaned and reset everything. I was expecting a charge to have something replaced (anyone could pull the wool over eyes). He charged me for a standard service call and nothing extra. He is now my official furnace man. He also called to see if he could come out earlier so I wouldn’t have to wait until next day. Home Advisor doesn’t allow same day scheduling so I had to schedule for early the next day. Great service.

I am so impressed with Greg. He was so nice on the phone in our initial contact. I know nothing about air conditioning so I felt a bit apprehensive but even during our initial phone call Greg was so courteous and when he arrived to do the work, I knew I had made the right decision. He went straight to the issue, didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need. After he fixed the broken vent he made sure all the other vents were in working order and checked everything, I then asked him if he would replace my existing thermostat because it is so old and he did. He charged a very fair price for a new one – installed it and needless to say I am so pleased. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future if the need arises and I highly recommend this fine young man who obviously knows what he is doing. Thank you Greg.
