About Air Rite

Air Rite is a friendly, family-run Atascadero-based full-service contractor providing expertise in both Residential and Commercial heating and cooling applications. We are the premier HVAC contractors in the area.

Experience matters when you are considering which HVAC contractor to hire for your project. The Atascadero air conditioning repair experts at Air Rite have been in business since 1983, and have provided quality service for the entirety of San Luis Obispo counties. When Rick Johansen originally founded Air Rite, he repeatedly proved himself to his customers by performing quality work at an honest and fair price. Since retirement, his son Arne Johansen has adopted the same customer service beliefs and has become Paso Robles and Atascadero’s honest and local HVAC guy.

Along with really believing in quality workmanship, Air-Rite also believes in giving back to the community that keeps us in business.

To this end, we sponsor and support various local organizations that have a positive effect in our area, such as:

4-H
Future Farmers of America
Various high school athletic teams
Escuela Del Rio
The Link
Food banks
Youth sports organizations
Cancer fundraising

Arne and his qualified technicians offer local customers a unique and friendly experience, and provide them with their mechanical expertise.

Here are just a few of the reasons Air Rite Surpasses their competitors on a regular basis:

Fully licensed and insured
Same day service on most repairs
Emergency servicing available
Locally owned and operated

All of our staff members are reliable and honest experts on everything we sell. We offer the latest in energy-efficient systems, and if you need assistance processing tax credits and energy star rebates, we can help.

Customer Testimonials

Our customers consistently praise our exceptional service and professionalism. We are committed to exceeding expectations and delivering outstanding results.

Having used Air Rite for new heating and air conditioning at our home we knew who to go to for our business. This was a big job in an old building and we needed a business that would be efficient, professional and timely. Air Rite is dependable and went out of their way to give us GREAT service. From fixing and repairing existing air conditioning to installing a new one, they are the ones to call. The pricing is very comparable to other companies, and they are professional through and through from Arni to the administrator in the office to the installers. It is a rarity and a relief to find great service. Lastly, the efficientcy in scheduling us so fast and completing the job before expected was a cherry on top. We will always recommend Air Rite.

My Construction Company (Palomar Homes) has used Air Rite Heating and Air for the past 12 years on dozens of new home projects. Arne and his crew are always attentive, courteous to me and my clients and do a fantastic job. Air Rite installations are clean and complete. In my 38 years of building, Air Rite has clearly been our best Heating and Air contractor.

Here at North County Animal Hospital, we are so grateful for Arnie and his crew! They keep us cool in the summer and cozy in the winter! Anytime we have a need they are quick to address it! We use Air Rite for filter maintenance and any repair issues. They always go above and beyond in service and quality, plus Arnie is an overall nice guy! I would recommend Air Rite without hesitation!

Air Rite has provided us with new HVAC systems and sheet metal on 9 new homes and one complete rebuild/remodel in Atascadero and Paso Robles since 2016 with the final one being finished as I write this review. They have been fair and professional and have stood by all work. If I have a question they respond at once. I have also recommended them to clients and friends who have later reported how pleased they were with their new system.
