Monarch performed the annual heating system inspection and performance. The inspection was very thorough and found no problems. Several years ago we didnt get the system serviced like we do now. We decided to have Monarch service the systems and they found cracked heat exchangers in both units that could have filled our home with deadly CO. We will always trust Monarch with all of our service needs.

TL;DR Went to Costco. Costco uses Monarch for Lennox. Bought a Monarch brand HVAC system (ducts, condenser, evaporator, heat exchanger). Great warrantee (10 yr parts, 10 yr compressor, 20yr heat exchanger, 1 year labor, 3 years preventive maintenance) 4 day turnaround from purchase to install. 5.5 hour install. Very clean and professional. You dont have to go through Costco to use Monarch.Monarch is the company contracted through Costco for HVAC services in the Central Valley from Bakersfield up to Merced extending out to SLO. They are the company that is used at the Lennox kiosk in the store. You dont have to go through Costco to use Monarch. The longest wait I had was getting the home inspection (3 weeks).The home inspection was completed by Brent. Brent did a thorough inspection of my condenser (outside) unit, registers (vents), intakes, evaporator, heat exchanger (furnace), and delivery system (ducting). Having been a HVAC tech in a past life, I had an idea of what needed to be done, but I didnt have the tools or manpower. So, I was curious to see what Brent was going to say and/or upsell since I had already conducted my own inspection.I was pleasantly surprised that Brent hit all the major areas and took pictures of the areas that I missed. My HVAC system was over 20 years old. My ducting had holes in it from other techs (electricians, cable techs, solar, whoever was in the attic) that got a little hot and created their own vent but didnt patch it up. Not only that, but there were parts where the ducts had pulled away from the joints, so there were plenty of inefficiencies. I wasnt getting between 25%-35% of the air that was supposed to be delivered to the inside of my home. Instead, I was cooling/heating my attic.When we went over the cost of a new unit, I was really surprised that Monarchs own brand was much more affordable. Its not some foreign made product, but an American made product with a great warrantee:- AC: 10 year parts and 10 year compressor- Heat: 10 year parts and 20 year heat exchanger- All: 1 year labor, plus 3 years maintenanceI decided to purchase the system that day.The system I purchased improved my units efficiency from a 5 ton 10 SEER to a 5 ton 16 SEER which should save me about 38% in energy costs.Install occurred 4 days after inspection and purchase. Install began at 7:15 AM and was completed at 12:45 PM. A total of 8 techs worked on my install. Tarps were laid throughout the house and at least three people carried large items (two carry, one guide) to ensure no walls were hit or nothing else damaged.After installation, airflow as noticeably better and operation of the system noticeably quieter. It remains to be seen how much more energy efficient the system will be.

The tech that was here seemed very honest, and showed me pictures of the unit that is on the roof. I am very pleased to know that there are good people still out there. I am grateful that I got your information, through the mail, and you are real! I am hoping that you understand how skeptical I was about Monarch, only because of so many “fly by night” businesses that end up being scam artists. I will happily refer your services to my family and friends. Thanks so much.

Fast & efficient. Polite and easy to talk to. Offered several services, but no pressure. Setting up for next appt to do further services was also easy and convenient. Used this co for several years, and will continue to use them. When you find a good A.C. service you stick with them.

Review №11

The first part of the repair was ok. It was expensive but most likely it was my fault for not servicing the system as it should have been so I am ok with that. It was what happened after the service that was the issue. Before the service the technician tested everything and found the issue. But at no point did he say that any part of the issue was caused by the thermostat. If fact he stated the thermostat was working fine before the repairs were done. After the repairs, I get a call stating that the thermostat is not working and it will be another $300.00 to replace the thermostat. When I questioned why it was not working now even though it was working before the repair the technician could not answer. I also asked him why a part that would cost at least half that $300 at home depot was costing me so much. He could not answer that either and immediately wanted to speak with his manager. I told him I would like to speak with his manager instead of him speaking to his manager. I spoke to his manager and he offered me the part at half price. I took it because I had no choice but to fix the AC or burn up. But at this point I feel like I got hustled and probably should have went with another company. I purchased the membership for discount and maintenance so I am going to give them a second chance not to hustle me or try and squeeze me for my money. I am not say do not use them as they AC is repaired. My suggestion is be careful with them and pay close attention to their work or you may end up getting hustled out of hundreds of dollars.

Don was very straight forward with what needs to be done and let me know what that entailed so I’m happy with the service so far. I’m having a AC installation technician come to do a free consultation so hopefully it’s not going to cost me a arm and a leg to do so. Steven was a good salesman, great people person. Oscar was polite and timely. He got right to work and was focused on doing so in the attic. I want to thank all the people that came and helped with installing the new AC here.

Review №14

I called for service and they had someone come out the same day! This was a “Second Opinion” as my warranty company told me yesterday that I needed a new compressor.Alejandro let me know what the issue was and exactly what he was going to do. It wasn’t the compressor, but wiring and connection seemed to be the issue. He was very efficient and I have AC again!I would highly recommend Monarch!Thank you Monarch and Alejandro for the excellent service you provide! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had Pedro as a tech today, he was very responsive and got here within the hour mark. we were called to let us know that he was going to be on the way, he conducted himself in a Professional manner and showed us some of the issues with our system and what we can do to fix it. we enjoyed having him here and we hope that he can come and service our system the winter. Today we didnt do anything but my grandma for sure was happy with the service and would like to have him back again.

Very responsive, called them for a potential duct leak under my house and they responded in less than 24 hours, found a small hole in the ducting under the house, took video of the leak and pictures of the repair to assure me they fixed it properly.

Review №28

As a tech who used to work for monarch, I can say that they are easily the most dishonest hvac company in the area. They charge way too much for parts and they train the techs how to sell stuff rather than giving them actual training on the job theyre performing. On top of that, they just lost their partnership with Costco. The techs arent bad people but the management is only concerned with making money. Id highly recommend calling another company.

Marcario came out to inspect a air conditioning unit I was experiencing problems with. He was very thorough while he was working. He inspected other areas of the hvac system including an area experiencing an electrical “error”. He helped me know if there was more going wrong other than the presenting problem. I am thankful for this as I now know some areas that need attention in the near future. He explained everything he found going on with the outside main unit and even up in the attic where ventilation, and electrical system were located. He made sure to help me understand the problem/s. He also informed me about options the company has for payment. Thank you Marcario!

Review №80

The technician, Joel, was excellent. All of the techs have been great. Their scheduling, however, is frustrating. Despite booking the warranty required semiannual service 4 months in advance, they inevitably text the day of the service to ask to postpone it. I understand outages take precedence, but it is frustrating to have this happen nearly every season. A few days warning would be reasonable given I have to hold the entire day for their unscheduled visit. THIS time, they did show up after I declined to reschedule.

Worst place ever! Very dishonest I waited over 6 months to just get regular summer tune up service and now my new unit is only 2 years old and today I got a list of things that supposedly need to be done to my unit … and I don’t know if it’s because I declined their recommendations but all of a sudden my brand new unit isn’t working and it was working completely fine before the tech arrived!!!I don’t understand….

I had a leak coming into and causing damage to the ceiling and other wood in the master bedroom closet Sam came out to check it out, and he misdiagnosed the issue. After I hired a plumber to fix the pipe in my attic which was dripping water, and he clean out the P-trap which collects condensation which was clogged, I thought it was fix. It was not, David came out today and removed the clog and inspected the system and ducts to make sure there were no further problems. I have hope that this issue is finished. I can now get the wood, dry wall, and water stains fixed next week. Good job David! Thank you!

I called this company in a panic because my home warranty refused to work with me during a heat wave when my HVAC died. Not only did they show that very afternoon, they provided clear options and had someone ready to go over what I needed the next day. Then, just two business days later, they’re at my house with a crew installing a new, larger capacity HVAC and thermostat, cleaning my ducts, and providing three years of maintenance on my new unit beyond their 10-20 year warranties on parts, unit, and labor. They were professional, incredibly nice, clearly laid out what needed to be done, and completely delivered on all promises and then some. I wholeheartedly recommend Monarch to anyone looking for new units or maintenance and am so glad that I found my way to them when I needed HVAC help.

Daniel Rodriguez came out and did a diagnostic to see why my ac had stopped working. He gave me 3 different options of repairs ranging from.just getting it running today to fixing all upcoming issues. My system is pretty old so we also wanted to see the cost of full replacement. John Amparano came out the next day and went over our replacement options and we ultimately went that route.
