What We Fix. What We Install. What We Maintain.

AC repair, heating, installs, tune-ups, and smart thermostats — serving Raleigh and the full Triangle with same-day availability.

AC Repair

If your AC stops cooling, we come out the same day, find the problem, and tell you exactly what it is before we touch anything. No guessing, no unnecessary parts. John and Tyler have seen every common failure in Raleigh homes, from refrigerant leaks to failed capacitors, and they fix it right the first time.

Schedule Service

AC Installation

When your system is past saving, we help you pick the right replacement for your home size and budget. We're factory-authorized Trane installers, and we won't push a bigger unit than you need. Most installs are completed in a single day.

Schedule Service

Heating Repair

Furnace not keeping up? Strange sounds or smells? We diagnose heating problems thoroughly and explain what we found before any work begins. If it's a simple fix, we say so. We won't recommend a replacement just to make the ticket bigger.

Schedule Service

Heating Installation

We install furnaces and heat pumps that are sized right for your home. John's engineering background means we calculate load correctly, not just swap in whatever's on the truck. You'll know your options and the price before we start.

Schedule Service

HVAC Maintenance

A tune-up once a year keeps your system running longer and catches small problems before they become expensive ones. Tyler checks everything, cleans what needs cleaning, and gives you a plain-English summary of your system's condition. No upsell, no scare tactics.

Schedule Service

Smart Thermostat

We install and configure Nest and Ecobee thermostats. Tyler handles the wiring, walks you through the setup, and makes sure everything's talking to your system correctly. Nest Pro certified and Ecobee authorized.

SantaAir HVAC technician at work — John Tran and Tyler serve the Raleigh Triangle area

They'll Tell You Exactly What's Wrong. Then They'll Fix It.

John Tran founded SantaAir in 2016 after years learning the trade under his uncle. He brought an engineering background into a field that doesn't always use one, which shows in how he diagnoses problems. He finds the actual cause, not the most profitable one. Customers who've dealt with other HVAC companies consistently say the same thing: John is the most honest technician they've ever come across.

Tyler handles most of the day-to-day service calls. He arrives on time, explains the whole process before he starts, and runs through your options once he's found the issue. He won't push parts or upgrades you don't need. Reviews mention him by name more than any other technician in the area.

  • No upselling, ever

    We find the real problem and fix that. No inflated repair estimates, no parts you don't need.

  • Clear explanation before any work starts

    You know exactly what's wrong and what it costs before we pick up a tool.

  • Same-day service when you need it

    Most calls are handled the same day. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day.

  • Engineering-grade diagnostics

    SantaAir is fully licensed, insured, and certified by Trane, Nest, and Ecobee. NC License #34021.
