David and his team are fantastic! We were having issues with our A/C and David came out quickly to look at the problem. When a new issue popped up a few days later his team came by and resolved the issue. Professional, friendly and easy to work with. Definitely recommend.

These guys told me they replaced all the ducts and the entire system was cleaned and safe and ready to use for my newborn and toddler. We found only a day later that there were still holes in the ducts, as well as rodent feces and debris throughout. Then the owner of the company tried to intimidate me by claiming defamation. Photo and video of vents/ducts from after they told me the job was done. That are clearly accessible (hence the video). Unfortunately, the case was closed with CSLB because I did not hold the contract with Higher Ground. No other reason. They gave me other avenues to pursue my issues with David and his company. In response: David, you and your company were let in every single time you came. You came multiple times and your crew did as well. My family and I never had anything at all in your way, we gave you and the crew all the time and room to work necessary. Furthermore, Terminix and I are in great standing and they told me no work was done at the property once I left, so I guess you are lying AGAIN. IN FACT the owner was blacklisted from Terminix and can not ever call them for work at that property. As per me threatening to sue, you threatened to sue me for defamation. We never threatened any sort of lawsuit with any vendors. You lied about the state and work done, you knew the system was contaminated and as a licensed professional you are aware that an HVAC system with rodents living in it is unsafe for children and especially newborns. Still you told me to go ahead and use the system, lying that all ducts had been replaced... it doesnt matter that I did not sign the contract with you, it does not change the fact that the HVAC system was not safe to use and the work you told me was done was not actually done. You have no issues lying, putting others at risk and defaming people to further your agenda. Even your response shows how unprofessional you are. Claiming we were squatting. I was not aware that Higher Ground HVAC was a property management company. But you colluded with the owner of the property about the safety of the HVAC system so I am not surprised by your slanderous statements. Clearly, your lies know no ends. You continue to flag my reviews because you are scared of people seeing the truth. You have no moral compass and are full of lies. Your lies put my family's health at risk, including a 2 month old baby. You should be ashamed of yourself and people should be wary dealing with you.

I have used Higher Ground Heating and Air Conditioning 3 times already. They installed a new A/C unit in my upstairs, a new Furnace in my upstairs, and repaired a problem with my condenser for my lower AC unit. All three times...the service was excellent, the technicians were respectful and knowledgeable...They also responded so quickly to my calls...which I really do appreciate...I also felt the costs were fair and I won't hesitate to recommend them, or call them again should the need arise....and I like that they are local....

I contacted Higher Ground based on some recommendations from the local community Facebook pages. I’m definitely glad I went with David and his team. My entire ACA system had issues: too small of an air intake, dirty condenser system, dirty blower, and a compressor that was going out. David and his team went above and beyond in their diagnosis and repairs. They came to my house multiple times to get my AC working properly and I’m happy with the results. I will definitely be calling David again for future HVAC needs.

I have been so happy to work with David the owner of Higher Ground Heating and Air Conditioning. Our system was installed by a very nice man who was new to minisplit systems. David was able to help us get our system working, help us to understand how to properly operate our system, and plan for routine maintenance. David is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and professional. We are so grateful to have a reliable professional to care for our system.

Higher Ground is the absolute best heating and air conditioning company I have ever dealt with. No BS and they were able to fix my heater for a very fair price. I definitely recommend them!

David came to my house to troubleshoot my furnace after it stopped working. He mentioned it was "too old" to repair, claiming it was 32 years old, and recommended replacing the entire unit. When I asked if he could fix the existing unit, he refused, stating he doesn’t like to repair older equipment. Despite this, he asked me to pay a $150 diagnostic fee, even though he couldn’t provide a diagnosis. For reference, my home was built in 2006, and the furnace is only 18 years old. I had Obe and Sons come out the same day, and they had no trouble diagnosing and repairing the unit. It’s working perfectly now. I can’t speak to David’s skills when it comes to HVAC work because he refused to work on mine. However, if you’re someone looking for a quick suggestion to replace your system, he might be a good fit. But if you want someone who will explore repair options, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

David and all the guys at higher ground or on the job with a fair estimate as soon as you call with a great disposition every single time. After 10 years of dealing with this company these are the go-to people on the mountain for your heating and air conditioning needs. Thank you so much guys, I had an emergency today you arrived within 2 hours and got me back in business immediately. Big hugs
