All Power Services

This review specifically reflects the Electrician (Tim) they sent out to us. We needed a fast turnaround and All Power accommodated us which was good. They sent out an electrician (Tim) to look at our HVAC and electric panels. Tim arrived an hour late. After introductions, he entered the house walked into the kitchen and started to undo the belt on his pants. Creepy, I know. My Fiancée offered him the use of the bathroom, but he ignored her as he slipped a meter holster onto his belt and then put it back on.
He looked at the HVAC and panels. I shadowed him asking questions. He told me that because I was asking questions, he would not be able to take notes. I asked him if that would be a problem, he said no. For some reason I let myself believe him.
The Zinsco electric panel we need replaced was in the kitchen. When he looked at it and removed the cover he noted issues with it and stated that it needed to be replaced. When re-​attaching the cover he decided to add some screws to secure it better, so he found wood screws and drilled them into metal stripping it completely. It is now impossible to remove without cutting into the wall.
He looked at an outlet near the sink and noted that it needed to be GFCI. Then when re-​attaching, he cracked it.
He noted numerous issues regarding grounding and other GFCI circuits. I asked about fixing the Mastik on the roof, as well as replacing some circuits on the main panel for safety. He agreed. I told him that we didn’t want to replace the panel, he agreed.
When he delivered his report (an hour before my deadline) he didn’t include about 75% of what we talked about. Furthermore, he gave an estimate for replacing the back panel which we specifically stated we did NOT want to do.
As this inspection was part of our contingencies for a home purchase, his poor demeanor, lack of professionalism and horrendous listening skills were reflected in his report making it barely useful. Even our realtor and her firm were upset about how this all happened. If this is reflective of how other employees at All Power are, they should be seen as highly rated and one could assume that they are only so because of gaming Unilocal.

Rob Tardi came out to the business I work at in Los Angeles. We were having trouble with our air conditioner and it was hotter than heck. We were all sweltering in the office.
I called All Power Services. We were quickly booked an appointment by Marilyn at the front desk (who’s a doll) and Rob came out to save the day. He worked fast, thoroughly, and professionally. He completely repaired the A/​C and put in a new, easy to use thermostat. He showed me and my co-worker’s how to operate it and answered any questions we had.
The A/​C has been working perfectly ever since and we’ve been nicely cooled off during the hot days and comfortably warmed up during the cold days.
His pricing is EXTREMELY reasonable and he is hands down the best A/​C/​heating/​HVAC/​General Contractor guy around.
I wouldn’t call anyone else to assist my workplace. Also, if I ever need anything on my personal residence I will definitely be calling him.
Highly recommend. Don’t pay attention to those few 1 star reviews. He’s a legitimate, hard working, honest and competent person.
Try him out and see for yourself!

I’m completely satisfied with the furnace they installed in my home. I did some research and their pricing was more than fair. They were pleasant and responsive to all my questions and needs. I will certainly continue to use All Power for my HVAC needs!

I am very surprised at anything less than 5 STARS for Rob Tardi and All Power Services. Rob and his team are some of the best tradespeople (if not the best) we’ve ever had in our home. Rob delivered exactly what was promised in the time it was promised for the amount estimated! And we have now had our A/​C unit for almost a year and are thrilled with the way it is working to cool our home.
Not only that, but Rob himself is a wonderful trustworthy and very hardworking person who you want to do business with. I highly recommend All Power Services for any kind of HVAC work in the Los Angeles Area! Thanks Rob for your service. Go Canada!

We had all power services do an inspection on our house when we bought it. Their service was fine.
We chose to use them to address some of the problems identified (faulty sub panels). We had numerous issues. To start, Rob does not do the electrical work. He subcontracts it to other electricians, but does not seem to communicate well with them. Instead of a relatively straightforward update of the sub panels, we ended up with a multi-​day project, holes in the exterior of the house (with rain on the way!!) and had loose ends that weren’t tied up for 2 weeks after the project.
I had the work inspected by other reputable electricians and it seems to be safe, etc.
Rob never gave us a heads up about the scope of the project, never asked before knocking holes in our walls, and seemed incredulous that I would have wanted advance notice to set up a contractor to repair the work etc. We were left scrambling and adding significant cost to the project. I also told Rob that I wanted to be there for all work and they sent the electrician out to finish some work without my consent or advance notice.
Unilocal and Angie’s List are filled with people with great ratings. Don’t waste your time with All Power Services and save yourself some headaches.

If length of time dealing with someone counts for anything, I can tell you that I’ve been using Rob Tardi and All Power Services for over 20 years and have NEVER been disappointed with the service or professionalism of him or his staff. Given that at one point, we had a large ranch with multiple electrical and AC issues – all of which he addressed quickly and well – we’ve had to deal with more complex issues than many people.
The work that he did to get our large koi pond working again and the recent work on our townhome were, as usual, excellent! I have done surveys for his office manager on all recent jobs and have recommended him to others, without hesitation. And for the record, I used to work in construction of expensive homes, used many sub-​contractors over the years, and know something about the business – the good, the bad, the ugly – and All Power Services rate high with me!

I would stay far away. As far as I am concerned, this man is a scam artist. He strapped up my ducts for me lying and saying this would be the fix for my system that was damaged by another contractor. Knowing I was vulnerable, he lied and said the only fix would be to spend another $ 7200 for a new unit on top of the $ 2100 I already paid. I dealt with experts and they said that a new system was not needed. I got the problem fixed for less than half or what he tried to rip me off for. I trusted this man because he has a great poker face and acts nice. HE IS NOT nice. BEWARE!!! He also sent his secretary a nasty email about me, well he meant to send it to her. So not only is he a scam artist, he is an idiot too. I had no idea we even had an issue. He did me a favor though because it made me do more research only to find out what a liar scam artist he is. Email me if you have any questions, I will be happy to provide my correspondence with him.

Back in Sept 2014 I had reached out to Rob Tardy with All Power to service my HVAC unit. My appointment time was moved FIVE Times that week and he blew me off after waiting a full day for him during one of those FIVE times. I had to make multiple calls following up. Finally, I gave up and used someone else. Now, I gave him the benefit of the doubt back then assuming that maybe this company had lack of technicians or Rob Tardy who was supposed to be the technician had personal issues going on so I let it go. Then, this past Sunday on ¹¹⁄₂₃ I called All Power again to try to schedule a new repair that I needed. I got the answering service. I left my contact info. I called twice that day hoping to get a return call because I was looking to schedule it for today, Tuesday ¹¹⁄₂₅. I never got it. On Monday at 8:30 AM I was provided the cell number of this Rob Tardy again. I called and left a voicemail. At 4:30 PM I called and left a VM again. It’s now the next day and STILL NO RETURN CALL!!! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Instead, yesterday at 5:00 pm I got a hold of Jacob with Air-​Al Inc. He scheduled the appointment for today and all is well. USE Air-​Al INC — GREAT customer service! they actually KEEP their appointment time and do a good job!!! Their number is: 323−934−3838

I work in a huge building with a limited amount of windows — none of which you can crack open. One day, the AC went out. Needless to say we were all melting. Rob from All Power Services came out got on the roof and fixed the system. Hooray!
I am grateful and the 70 (+) staff is grateful as well. Also, Rob, who is the owner, is a really nice guy with a Canadian accent that also came and saved us at our other location where we host events with 300+ attendees.
