I was in need of a new AC company. South Valley AC & Heating was recommended to me. I spoke with Chris (owner) to set up an appointment. This process was easy and swift. Day of appointment I received a message that technician was on their way. Technician was prompt, very knowledgeable and did a thorough check/diagnostics of my AC unit to make sure it is ready for the upcoming summer months. Overall I am very pleased with this company. Great customer service all around. Will definitely recommend to others. Be sure to support small local businesses instead of big box companies for your AC/Heater needs. Great company and great service. read more

Great recommendations on futures service, set-up yearly contract. Friendly and Honest, during preliminary recommendations and affordable estimate. Looking forward to first full service and future visits to our home. Feels like one of the family with South Valley AC & Furnace. read more

Contacted South Valley at 1. Technician was here before 2. My heat was working again by 2:20. While it sounds like it was n easy fix, it wasn't anything we could have done on our own. I really appreciate it!! read more

Very honest company. Did a great job on our duct work. Highly recommend! Also reasonable in cost.

I contacted South Valley to address an issue with one of our HVAC units not heating because of the great reviews here on Yelp. The technician was on time, friendly, and honest. He waived the diagnostic fee because through the maintenance work on the unit he was able to determine that the unit was functioning properly but was dirty (which could have impacted the ability for the flame sensor to sense heat and turn on the blower) and needed some cleaning. The units ran normal. I was grateful for his honesty and not trying to upcharge me or replace unnecessary parts that other companies are notorious for doing. I have purchased the annual maintenance plan and I am excited to have them come out twice a year to keep our units in good shape. Thank you! read more

Estimate included all items to be checked. Price was comparable to others. Service technician was within time schedule. Technician was friendly and informative. Only one star off because I have not received my report by email. read more

We chose South Valley because of their excellent reviews here on Yelp. Chris was friendly and professional. We had our 20+year old AC unit replaced with a new heat pump, which has been an excellent investment. Installation went smoothly. -- Our house stays consistently cool and comfortable and it's so quiet we are hardly aware it's there. Less dust in the house too. We will be using South Valley for maintenance also! read more

I called South Valley AC to basically get a 3rd opinion and price comparison. I got a call from Chris first thing in the morning and discussed my concerns. He was able to make it out the same afternoon. We discussed a few options and I decided to go with a new unit. They moved some things around to get me installed as quickly as possible which was greatly appreciated since it is July in Bakersfield. They finished the job today. Showed up as scheduled, got the job done and cleaned up and left. It feels nice to have a working A/C again and I am confident if I were to have any issues that I'll be taken care of. Almost forgot to mention, I found the pricing to be fair and I didn't feel like I was trying to be sold like I did when I had another company come out. read more

I am beyond impressed with this company. I had a ton of companies go down there to give me quotes and none of them told me that my unit was fixable except for this one. I couldn't be more pleased with your service and professionalism. If you want to deal with honest people, I highly recommend South valley AC and heating. Thank you, Chris, for everything! read more

South Valley AC & Heating came out for routine AC maintenance. They sent a courtesy text letting me know when they were on their way to my location and Aaron arrived right on time. Aaron was very kind and very professional. He preformed a routine AC maintenance check and asked if I had any additional questions or concerns before leaving. I've heard great things about this company along with their fair pricing. I'm now able to share my experience with them. Thank you for a job well done. read more

They replaced the evaporative coils in the attic for the a.c. unit. The tech explained everything and was very thorough. This was a home warranty job. read more

FINALLY a company that runs on honesty and finishing the job correctly! Chris is punctual communication is great and he does business just like things used to be done! Came out fixed the capacitor doesn't charge you or tries to find other stuff to stiff you for. His motto if you dont need it he will tell you and he has saved my parents thousands that another local company was trying to take advantage of them! Do yourself a favor and save a headache and go with South valley so much easier and a relief! read more

Just met with Chris about adding a system to my upstairs. I was fully prepared to add a full new system but after talking with Chris (you won't find a more honest AC co. that I'm aware of) learned without extreme re-ducting I'd be creating problems for the system I currently have that is relatively new. DO NOT waste your time with other AC co.'s call South Valley first! Excellent communication, highly professional, and sincerely honest!!! 100/5 stars read more

The short review is this company is amazing, honest and competent. Now for the long review. My blower motor recently went out. I called the company that 3.5 years ago installed my AC unit. They told me that it would cost $10k for some duct work. I told them I only wanted the motor replaced under the 10 year warranty that it has. At first they refused to honor the warranty then informed that if they could get a motor, it would be $4k for installation. I basically told them to get out of my house. I decided I would remove and reinstall the motor myself. The only problem was, I couldn't find a replacement motor that worked with my unit. I looked on yelp for the highest reviewed AC company and found South Valley. I reached out to Chris at South Valley AC who responded immediately. He was able to get me a new motor, under warranty, for just a nominal charge. I was beyond pleased at his communication and professionalism. He even stated he could install the new motor at a price that i couldn't turn down. Just 2 days later, their tech. Jared was at my house installing my new blower motor and everything is working great. I'm completely impressed how South Valley operates. There was no trying to sell me things i didn't need or overcharging. There's a reason they have all 5 stars on yelp. Jared was a pleasant young man that was a joy to talk to. Basically, i could tell, these were just good, honest people! If for some reason you decide not to use South Valley, do yourself a favor and NEVER, EVER, use Monarch Home Service, EVER!! read more

I'm in the middle of a kitchen renovation and needed an exposed air duct removed that was built into an upper cabinet. I contacted a couple of HVAC companies for a quote and South Valley was MUCH more reasonable compared to other quotes received. Chris and his son came out on a Wednesday to give me a quote, then arrived Friday to begin the work of removing air duct and add in new vents. I appreciated the prompt service, as we need to put up new drywall and had to wait until duct was removed. They both exceeded my expectations and did a wonderful job. They were on time, professional and worked hard to get the job done. I highly recommend South Valley AC and Heating. read more

See all

We initially called South Valley to come out to our house to inspect our duct work because we have issues with airflow in a couple of rooms. They came out and inspected the unit and gave us a clean bill of health but they never checked the duct work. ‍ I asked the technician to check the pressuration but he only checked the temperature with his probe and not the airflow in only one register. So I called my home warranty insurance and they came out and told me that we have a microchannel leak and that we need a new unit. Completely different than what South Valley told me. How come they didn't pickup on this? read more

Contacted Chris about getting a mini-split install completed around 8 a.m in the mornin. He had his son at my door by 11 a.m. In no time the install was complete. Love the new unit in the shop.

Lastly thanks guys appreciate the help and if there's any issues in the future you have my business guaranteed! read more

I called Chris at 630pm about our AC Unit wasn't cooling. He drove 31 miles to check the unit. Chris found the issue, made the necessary repairs. We thank you, Chris for your fast response, finding the issue and repairs. read more

Newly incorporated company is off to a great start by providing exceptional customer service. My sibling's home ac went out and had me request a service. Chris responded quickly and sounds quite flexible and provides upfront transparent cost. It's good to know he was able to be contacted later at night and was willing to do a late schedule, and even an earlier morning. Unfortunately, my sibling used the in-laws contact and handy repair people for the next day... so there went my rec. However, with the brief encounter I had and the consistent reviews I can tell this is quality and value up front. I will definitely keep south valley in mind when my ac & heating goes out. Thanks Chris and will definitely give you a heads up notice far in advance. read more
