I had great service the first time i hired them so i bought the summer and winter service package, today a tech came to do the winter service and said " i needed a new motor, about $500.
I asked him how was that possible if I've been using my heater for the past few weeks with no problem and he said he didn't know but it wasn't working any more and the motor needed to be replaced. I insisted there was no problem with it before he got there and he said he was gonna check if maybe its something else. It worked again and he said the wires weren't installed correctly, (last

I had an issue with the thermostat I just installed and called in for same day Saturday service. Mallory was great on the phone and got me a tech in less then 3 hrs. Ardían was great! He troubleshot quickly and resolved a small wiring issue with my wiring on my roof top unit. Friendly, fast, professional and knowledgeable at a great price. Thank you Adrian for making my home cool again!

We've owned our home in La Quinta for 18 months and have had four HVAC companies (2 were during the one year home warranty period) and Priority One was the first company that didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. Our techs, Jhonatan and Christian, were polite, professional and knew what they were talking about. We signed up for their maintenance program and couldn't be happier.

These guys are the best. It's always so nice when you find someone you trust. We have been using them for a number of years now, both for AC and plumbing work. They are nice, dependable, and trustworthy.

We referred them to a neighbor who was told their HVAC unit needed to be replaced. Roy at Priority One came out and told them that the unit was getting old, but it could easily be repaired, rather than replaced. Saved them TONS of money and the unit is still functioning 3 year later.

They have serviced our aging HVAC unit for years, but it finally died on us. Priority was wonderful

We continue to be very happy with Priority One. During yesterday's visit, I besieged the rep with questions. He answered them all knowledgeably and with patience and enthusiasm. It was very helpful. He went out of his way to give me advice on taking care of my system in order to save money in the long run.

So I called them over after my AC stopped blowing cold air and he took a look at it and it said it was low on refrigerant so he put some more in and we thought it was that come a year later same problem occurs so I call all seasons ac heating and plumbing repair the first thing they do Is wash the condenser (big blowy thing outside) and just mud comes out turns out the reason it wasn’t cooling was because it was choking and now my system is way over charged and I had to deal with 4 days of a 105 degree house now granted it was my fault because I didn’t know you have to clean it but still 2

After writing my last review I received the nicest reply from Roy. He sincerely apologized for dropping the ball, was committed to making me a satisfied Priority One customer.

I immediately had an appointment for today, received numerous confirmation texts. Furthermore Adrian called me 15 minutes prior to our appointment to discuss what he was going to do today with my swamp cooler.

Adrian was awesome. He looked at the situation with my broken swamp cooler/thermostat. Gave me a rundown on what was needed, an estimate as to what I was looking at. I told him it all sounds great, let&apos

My AC stopped working on Sunday. I called Priority One and got the answering service. Within a couple of minutes, I received a call back from Jhonatan who was on another job in Palm Springs. He estimated a time he could get to me and said he would call as soon as he was finished with that job. He called within about an hour and arrived shortly after. From the minute he arrived, he was extremely professional. He kept me informed as he was diagnosing the problem. He also took pictures so I could see where the problems were. He was very respectful of my home--he wore a mask the entire time and

With the recent warm trend my AC controlling the bedrooms went out. In desperation I called every place to find a repair service ASAP. 2 companies set appointments, one of them no called no showed, the other cancelled on the day of the appointment. I called priority one and was told we will do everything to try our best to have a rep out there to see what we could do. Within 6 hours a rep had not only showed up but fixed the problem. Truly life savers. Priority One you have made a lifelong customer and I will be coming to you for all of my AC needs. Thank you so much for being professional, courteous

I believe in sticking with a business that treats me fairly and does a quality job, and after today's repairs, Priority One has made a new customer of me!

I was in need of a new plumber to service my home, and Priority One was willing to come out quite quickly.

Bob the plumber is professional, thorough, clean, neat, highly knowledgeable, and sticks to the jobs at hand.

He is also friendly, engaging, and made me feel a valued customer, not a nuisance.

He even cleaned up the standing water under my bathroom sink vanity that was there from BEFORE he arrived! Above and beyond service with

Paid $440 for 3 lbs of refrigerant and a condenser wash back on 5/11/20. A month later, 6/16/20 the AC unit is freezing up again (original reason why I called out a service by this company to begin with). I had to provide a ladder for the service technician to get up in my attic, absolutely ridiculous. I call to see what they can do since it’s only been a month and having issues, the “manager”, Louis calls me back and quotes either $275 to do a leak test which will require more refrigerant at $125 per pound. Then Louis says I should spend $8,000-10,000 on a complete new unit, without even

Priority One is amazing! Highly recommend.

During a heatwave, our AC lost power. I called this company after frantic googling while I thought I was going to die from 120+ temperatures, and they arrived the next morning. The issue was resolved in less than 30 minutes. The technician that arrived was exceptional. They saved us!

Due to the service we received prior, we called again to have our ducts inspected, as well as some other issues that were occurring. Justin advised us on what types of filters that we needed and referred us to a duct inspection (without an attic) company that could

Scott Johnson came over this morning for our yearly check up changed our filter and noticed our smoke Detector was missing
My husband took it down to replace the battery
And never got to put it back.
I told Scott about the running toilet in my sons room
It took him less than 5 min to fix it with new parts he had in his truck with no charge.
I highly recommend this company
Honestly still lives
Thanks Scott and Roy for your Amazing work and honestly

I got a call from my daughters in a panic saying mom my AC is broken
