It seems like most of the positive reviews are when the father ran the business. Now it is the son. Paul installed two mini splits in 2022 and with another company installed solar panels shortly thereafter. The first mini split leaked freon so they came back to flush and reinstall. I don't use it often, but turn it on periodically, let it run and clean the filters constantly. The unit stopped working after one day. I had to call someone on the mountain to come before I left the country. They told me what had to be done. I called Paul and as usual he was very condescending (maybe it's why others complained of this). He cut me off and repeated a false narrative of what I said. The new workers heard him and they were shocked of how he was so disrespectful and gave some goofy explanation of what was wrong and that it was my fault as I didn't treat it like a car that sits constantly. The workers were shocked when they found the issue (but didn't try to blame anyone). The workers that fixed it live locally and have an incredible reputation. I will never use Paul again. I work in an industry with mostly men and they have always treated me with respect, unlike Paul. read more

Brley's AC Heating & Refrigeration - The joint was not tight, maybe because of the faulty flare? It leaked almost all of the freon. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

See all

I will always recommend Brley's. Paul and his team are absolutely wonderful. Great communication, knowledge & professionalism.

He overcharge people especially Single Ladies and especially when you have a warranty on your AC unit he charges you and your warranty

Paul and Crystal are just amazing. Just helping and assisting us during a dire situation. Thank you so much. Will always call Brleys read more

Great service and best prices. They are very responsive and professional and will do a great job. This is my go to AC repair company.

All I can say is that some people are rough! The gentleman that came to assist spoke so harshly not only to the person he needed to get the info from but also his office it seems.It was all on speaker... I don't know about you but the saying goes you get more with honey. I'm not used to being spoken to in such a way. It's not good for business. read more

I don't recommend using this company! Made the appointment with the office, the girl told me that there is a travel charge which I understand because i don't live in town $100.00. When the service guy the owners son Paul gets here to do the service, he checks the unit. He turns on the unit. I asked the guy hey should I open all the vents?‍ At this point the unit has been running for about 10 mins. As he hooks his gauge to the unit, my husband asked him if the unit is low on Freon there's a leak? The guy responded not necessarily. My husband asked him if he could shoot some dye so if there is a leak he could see the problem and fix it. He didn't. Paul added some Freon. This service call was done two months ago and it's summer and it's miserably hot! And the a/c unit is not working!! This customer is not satisfied thanks for ripping us off! Service call costed us almost $400.00!! DON'T USE "BRLEY'S A/C, HEATING AND REFRIGERATION" Bakersfield area!! read more

This is probably the worst AC PLACE EVER. The owner says he's trying to help and says "I know what the problem is ...you have a freon leak" hmmm less than 2 months ago when his company added freon...replaced the control board... Stated on the the invoice that there was no leak found." Want to stand by that statement ? Of course not... The owner simply hangs up... 1 star is generous. I hope the BBB can resolve the issue read more

Great company. The staff are amazing and friendly. It's always good to support a family owned and operated completely .

EXCELLENT SERVICE! Brleys team is excellent, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for services. Same day visit, 2 visits to be exact in a very timely manner. And great pricing. Thank you Brleys for the excellent service. read more

I had Brley's AC install a new unit on my condo a few years ago and it was a good experience. They helped me get financing and installed the new unit really fast. I recently had them come out because the heater portion of the unit would come on and then shut off. They called me back right away and gave me the option of having them come out on a weekend or wait until Monday when it would be cheaper. I opted for Monday and they came right on time, serviced my unit, and now it works great. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends and family. read more

We were referred to Brley's about 10 years ago or so from our accountant, as we manage our own rental properties. They have repaired, serviced, and replaced many units for us in those years. I have always found them to be fair, honest, trustworthy and more reasonable than other firms in town. They are responsive and knowledgeable. They follow code and don't cut regulatory laws. I am 100% pleased and have referred several friends as well. read more

Great family business!! Very dependable! I highly recommend using them for all you AC and heating needs.

Good service but super expensive. They would charge on material like 10 times its worth and surprise you on the final bill. A fuse box cost $15 at home depot charged me $169 for it and that does not include labor $400 total. labor is similar to others but when he make that kind of charge on material then others would be much cheaper. Overall good service but very expensive. read more

We had Brley's replace both our AC unit and our pool filtration system. The work was professional, aesthetic, and completed in a timely fashion. The owner performed above and beyond what was required under the contract. I would highly recommend them. read more

Thank you Brleys. I've been fortunate to have you reported and now replace our AC. You have always been so responsive, professional, and respectful of how much it's going to cost me. You have helped my family now for three years. Thanks read more

So I call this guy they come out and say they checked everything and says it lacks pressure and needs more freeon (RC22) then he puts 3 pounds in it and says it should hold. Well, the next day it didn't hold, don't get me wrong but I call and he is defensive that his son didn't say it was fixed. Well, then what? testing my system on my money and then he tells me that it is old and I need a new one. Then why not tell me that the day before and not waste my money? I have had 3 restaurants and this is the first guy that didn't try to fix anything and just said it was old and get a new one. I have worked with many different people but this guy father and son are a piece of art. Don't call them, I called my guy in LA, he charged me 50 bucks for driving out to Bakersfield and guess what he said don't worry he got me and now it works like a beauty. If you don't know your business or don't know what you doing don't rip people off. I wish I could give a zero. DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY. If you need someone call me and I will give you my guys phone number. Pay extra to get it done not some clown that says he understands everything and it doesn't last a day!!!! read more
