This place has very knowledgeable staff and great prices. Big box stores such as Home Depot don't carry many things in stock any more. Sellers on Amazon are asking for 2-3x the prices here. I was able to get the part I need from Slakey Brothers without waiting for delivery and for a much lower price.

This company is great!! my AC unit failed during a 105 degree temperatures, i knew what part failed and was able to find it here and have it ready to be picked up within 30 minutes of me calling. the price for the part was the same as on amazon except i didn't need to wait for the two day shipping etc. etc.

Great service from Adam in parts. He helped me out with a complicated special order and made sure everything was right. Had a great attitude and made me feel he was happy to help.

As a regular customer for Slakey Brothers San Jose, I have always and consistently found that both their customer service over the phone and in person has been very easy to do business with.

The manager (Ken Varnes) also sends us emails (as a regular customer of theirs) in regards to upcoming price increases due to the tariffs and an ETA for the effective date. As of late these notifications from the manufacturer are quite often and it is important to note that it isn't easy to notify customers that prices are going up and perhaps that is why their competition rarely sends out these notices, but just surprises us with a higher invoice.

This notification give us and our customers a heads up of any pending increases so we can take advantage of the pre-tariff pricing.

Slakey Brothers, SJ is building loyal customers one contact at a time.

Poor warranty on items. Bought a wall furnace ,it had defective burner. Made me buy a new one said it will be covered and I will get money back but after one month and a week NOTHING. I do not recommend this business!!!!!!

They have a decent selection. Employees are nice enough but expect to be here for a looooong time. From the time you get there to the time you get your product you ordered is absolutely pathetic.

Great experience after several other competitors refused to sell product to me (they sell only to contractors).
Bought an Motor Run capacitor (45/5 Microfarads, 440V AC) at a price that we cannot get online. If ever you need HVAC/plumbing supplies/tools, Slakey is there for you.

Was referred to this place by the garden gopher to get some 10' ducting as they didn't have what I needed st Home Depot. Got here at 4:28 after driving from 30 min away. The guy in the shop refused to sell me the parts I needed because they closed at 4:30. I pointed out it was 4:28 and he said actually they registers at 4:15. Now I'm headed back empty handed with workers waiting fir the parts. I'm going to order the parts on Amazon which is sad. I tried to support a local shop first.
Not coming back here.

I'm a HVAC contractor and this supply house has everything you need. However, the customer service and wait time to receive any item is ridiculous. It's about a 30 min wait time minimum, even if you call in your order hours ahead and tell them exactly what time you'll be picking it up. After placing the order over the phone they'll say, ""it'll be out there waiting for you when you get here"". I've been coming here for a while now and they have not done that once the whole time here. Most of the staff here is friendly
