The company

What Superior Air is, in plain terms

Superior Air is a licensed heating and air-conditioning contractor (a corporation, not a sole proprietor) that has held California license #669421 since 1993. The license carries two classifications, C-20 (HVAC) and C-10 (Electrical), which in practice means the same crew can set the equipment and wire it. The company is bonded and carries workers’ compensation insurance, both of which the state license board verifies and publishes.

The office is on Kenamar Drive in Miramar (92121), off Miramar Road, which puts most of the county within about 35 minutes. Residential work (mainly full-system replacement, heat pumps, repair and maintenance) is the larger part of the business. Commercial work for general contractors, property managers and business owners is the other part: rooftop units, split systems, VRF and ductwork on new construction, tenant improvements and occupied buildings.

How we work

Five steps, every replacement

The sequence is the same for a condo changeout in Mission Valley and a two-system house in Scripps Ranch.

  1. 01

    Evaluation

    Measured on site

    We look at the equipment, the ducts, the electrical service and the house itself, and run a load calculation instead of copying the old tonnage.

  2. 02

    Written options

    No pressure

    Two or three options with model numbers, efficiency ratings, scope and price. You compare them at your own pace.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Usually one day

    When the job needs a permit, we pull it ourselves. Floors protected, old refrigerant recovered, new equipment set, evacuated and charged by weight.

  4. 04

    Commissioning

    Running when we go

    Airflow, temperature split, refrigerant charge and thermostat operation verified and walked through with you before we leave.

  5. 05

    Sign-off

    Documented

    On jobs that need one, we coordinate the city or county inspection and any energy-code testing, and we're there for it.

DIR registration
#100040104
Department of Industrial Relations public-works contractor registration
C-20 · Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning
The HVAC contractor classification. Covers furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductwork and ventilation: the equipment and the air distribution attached to it.
C-10 · Electrical
The electrical contractor classification. Lets our own crew run circuits, set disconnects and make equipment connections, so a heat pump conversion or a rooftop unit doesn't wait on a second contractor.
Bond, insurance and certifications
Contractor’s bond and workers’ compensation insurance on file with the CSLB. Federal law requires EPA Section 608 certification to handle refrigerant; our technicians hold it. Licensed under qualifying individual Vinod Jothilingam.

Residential and commercial

Two kinds of work, one license

Residential

Full-system replacement is the core: AC and furnace changeouts, heat pump conversions, ductwork evaluation and replacement, ductless mini-splits for additions and older homes. Repair and maintenance keep existing systems running until replacement makes sense, and we’ll tell you which one you’re looking at.

Commercial

Installation and replacement of rooftop package units, split systems, VRF/VRV and ductwork on new construction and tenant improvements, coordinated with general contractors’ schedules. Preventive-maintenance programs and repair for property managers and business owners.

Where we work

Superior Air installed a new air conditioning system at our home in San Diego, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. The team arrived on time and were able to complete the job in just a few hours. They also made sure to cover and protect our floors while they worked. Now the new AC unit runs perfectly and the house cools down much faster than before.

Chris was great. He replaced our old split system and the house is cooling much faster now. Mike on the phone was also very responsive and was able to get me a quote within an hour and took the time to explain available rebates and different replacement options.

Superior Air came out to inspect our split HVAC system after another company told us we needed a full replacement. Their technician was able to diagnose the issue and repair the system in a few hours for a fraction of the cost. Very honest company and great customer service.
