I have been using Star since 2010. Shaun is wonderful. Our family was going through some very hard times. As many people have and are still. Well our AC went out during a heat wave . Temps exceeding 103. My wife called Shaun and he came by. We told him that we were going through hard times because of identity theft. Well he fixed our AC and worked with us payment wise. I can only say that companies owned and run by people like Shaun are few and far between. I recommend this 5 star company for ALL your hvac needs. they are great. They are honest; on time and do the work right the first time. But what impressed me the most is that they care about people. Thank you Shaun. Frank read more

If you are having problems with your HVAC, Star is the best! I called because our AC wasn't turning on and my family was getting cranky because of the heat. Star showed up within the hour and was able to repair the unit. He did a full inspection of my unit and also gave me pointers on how to maintain my system and save me money in the long run. Great customer service, very knowledgeable and really is looking out for his customers. read more

My house and office ac's went out and Ron from Star was able to diagnose and replace the units in swift fashion. His competency was clear and his price seemed excellent when compared with his competitors. read more

Shawn is fast and right to the problem with no nonsense. I had to fix the heater vibration problem in order to close on a sell. He ordered rush parts and pulled it through. read more

Again and again, Shawn has never disappointed me. Our AC was not working on Sunday night (the hottest day), I called Shawn on Monday and he promised that he would try to make it same day or next day. Within 2 hours, he showed up at my house and fixed the problem. It's hard to find a reliable and trustful contractor. I am so glad that I find Star Mechanic. I recommend Shawn to all my friends. Shawn will not overcharge you , will not overstate the problem. He's like a friend in your neighborhood. Friendly and helpful are what we look for. read more

I cannot say enough about Star Refrigeration! Sean is a pleasant, honest, trustworthy and respectable businessman who really knows his stuff! I can always count on him to be fair and knowledgeable about my heat and air system. I know that when I call on him, he will always tell me the truth and will always give me a straight answer. He honestly cares about the customer and that is a rare find these days. Thanks again for servicing my air conditioner on such a short notice! I sincerely recommend Star Refrigeration!!!

Anyone who lives in the Central Valley knows how much not having air conditioning sucks, especially in this past weeks heatwave. Star mechanical came out within 36 hours of us scheduling an appointment with them after our A/Cs capacitor went out. The technician knew right away what the issue was and now my house is back to the normal 74 I'm used to AND they're priced well so it doesn't break the bank! Thanks guys for being so quick, efficient, and well knowledgeable!! read more

Awesome service. My AC went out at 8:30 PM and they had it fixed by 10:30PM. The price was also reasonable for an emergency call.

I live in Manteca and was looking for reliable Heating Air Conditioning company. Looking online reviews and my neighbours recommendation I decided to go with STAR Refrigeration. Quick response and upfront pricing "no gimmicks" impressed me. Technician not only fixed the bad heating unit but also educated me how to save money on energy usage and future repairs. I am happy with their knowledge, expertise and great service and would highly recommend for any Heating and Air Conditioning services. read more

I am beyond pleased with this company! Called and asked for service on a Saturday, they were at my home within hours! Last time AC broke took the OTHER guy 5 days to get here in 100 plus degree heat! Serviceman was very pleasant and kind. Did his best to keep it to a minimum service call, but the stupid AC had another agenda! But once issue was found, he wrapped up, told me the 50 cent part I needed for he did not have the exact fuse (not his fault, it is a unique system, and the last guy had same issue with same fuse), he wrapped things up and gave me a very reasonable bill. I run construction projects and without a doubt be using this company for my projects needs. I can't say enough about our experience, please use these guys and learn what quality work and customer service is! Thanks again STAR! Chris Davis read more

Had a really good experience overall. Realized middle of the night that the a/c cut off. So I called Star at 8 and they had someone at my place by 9. Oh and the temp forecast for the day was 105, so I was really nervous that it would take days to fix. Nope, Star had it up and running in 20 mins. What was cool is they texted me throughout the process. Confirming the appt, when the repair man was on his way, and when the service was complete. As well as an electronic receipt. Fantastic! read more

Extremely happy with the service we had 2 prior companies come because our home ac wasn't blowing cold. They both insisted on a whole ac replacement. I called Star they sent over Technician Curtis and got my ac fixed in 10 minutes and saved me thousands of dollars. We need more honest companies like this. read more

Don't hesitate to call Shawn for any problem with your heat/ac system! He is very knowledgeable of his work. I highly recommend him.

This was a horrible experience. I had called because I needed my units serviced since the house was vacant for 18 mos. while it was being remodeled. The technician was polite and useless. He immediately recommended replacement of one of the systems before even pretending to diagnose any problems. The unit worked fine when I bought the house in Nov of 2015. I moved back in this month. No a/c from one unit. He told me he'd need to run a pressure test and try to find the leak. Took less than 5 minutes and told me there was zero pressure. That the line was probably missing. Asked where the crawl space was, when I showed him, he asked me if I had a flash light. Then he told me there is no room in the crawl space and that he wants to move the unit and run a new line? Even after I explained that wasn't an option. Really? I've had at least three different sub-contractors working in the crawl space, a plumber, electrician, handyman, and cable installer. He didn't even pull off one of the units cover. No service, no meaningful problem solving. I paid $150.00 for nothing. Another place came out. Looked at it and diagnosed the problem immediately. Will never use Star Mechanical again. read more

Called them in the morning and they had my heater working again by that night. $650.. but they were working on it for a few hours and they replaced the blower motor and bracket so I guess it was a lot of work. read more

Paul just left my house he did a tune up on my system it was quick but very friendly. The price was not bad at all. Good service

Called Star Refrigeration and made an appointment with them. They were prompt and professional. I was convinced that the compressor on my AC Unit had gone out, but Shawn replaced a capacitor and had us up and running in no time at all. Very reasonable price. Star has earned the title of "My HVAC Guy" read more

Poor installation caused water damage to our ceiling. We were told it was our fault, it was not. They fixed most everything at the direction of our Contractor, but we're still out the materials and labor cost for the ceiling. Poor customer service, very argumentative, and very disrespectful. I will be contacting the manufacturer of the products they installed. read more

I had a friend's friend come figure out what was wrong with our AC, that took 2 weeks for him to even figure out what the issue was. We figured it was a blown fuse that just needed to be replaced. He said it wasn't and our whole condenser needed to be replaced ($1,200). After the second week of 90+ degree weather I decided to call Star Refrigeration. I was afraid it would cost an arm and a leg but figured if I was going to have the work done it should be warrantied work and by a specialist. I called Shawn and he came out within a few hours. He was COMPLETELY honest and basically told us our "friend's friend" had no idea what he was doing and told us it was our fuse. It took Shawn 30 minutes to complete the work!! I will definitely be calling him again in the future and referring him to friends and family. I work at a real estate company so I will also be referring him to clients. Thanks Shawn! read more

Kinda hard to give even 1 star when I called Star Refrigeration, they NEVER called me back. I left voice messages and nothing. We were left to pretty much freeze. Thanks for nothing. read more

Very Good service. Honest and will give you the answers straight up. Had my ice machine repaired and after filling up the freon, he advised me to just buy a new one if it continues to leak.. read more

Star made it out to my house on a Saturday and replaced a blower motor during a bad heat wave. Service was excellent, prompt, and professional. I will use them again if the need arises. read more

We had problems with our unit going out during times of over 100 degrees, I made the mistake of calling another local service that I never could get a hold of for service. I went online for a local Manteca service and with still feeling leary about calling someone and not being taken care of fairly.. I called "Star" and immediately was called back for an appt. for the next day as requested. Shawn showed up and listened carefully to our problem and was right on it! He is very knowledgeable to all systems and was friendly and explained what the issue was and as we listened to what was some problems with the unit, he also explained how one inexpensive part may have one more summer left on it and asked if we wanted take care of it now to save any future problems with it. We replaced the parts as needed and he also saved us money in the end by taking care of any possible issues that were to come. I can comfortably recommend him to my clients as well, I am a realtor and always looking for reliable company's to refer out and he now is one of my company's to refer! I would highly recommend Star for any of your HVAC needs. read more

Excellent service! My AC went out I called at 2 p.m and they were here at 4 pm. Larry is very friendly,very knowledgeable. He was able to fix it the same day in 1 hour! Very reasonably priced. I I will recommend Star Refrigeration to my friends, neighbors and family! I am so glad I picked this place. read more

Used Star Ref last year for a repair on a rental on a HOT day. Shawn was out the same day and had the unit up and running. Came back with the needed part a week later for the complete repair. read more

In March 2019 I purchased a replacement HVAC system for my dying 17 year old unit. Unfortunately, in this case, I did not practice my own self-imposed rules for handling my personal business transactions. I am a Senior Citizen and of the 'old school' method of doing business...I believe both parties should be upfront and honest. Its a shame that only one party practices this method of business practice in many situations. Mike, was a rather high pressure sales person whose only interest was making a commission for himself whereas I feel both parties should benefit from a sale. I believe I did benefit just not in the manner I was lead to believe I would. I've been trying to get a copy of the bid and invoice of the HVAC + duct work replacement for which I was agreeing to purchase. Also asked that the thermostat be replaced as I retiree, someone is always home and a programable thermostat if unnecessary. Neither Shawn, the owner of Star Mechanical or the sales person, Mike have bothered to provide what should have been an automatic function for both of them. Not only did I not get what I agreed to purchase, their failure to respond to my requests tells me they have no intention of doing so. Mike has ignored my multiple requests and Shawn has ignored my one request. Given the treatment I have received, I would not be honest if I gave them either a good referral or rating. When I came home from work the day of installation, they had installed a TempStar unit, not an Amana as I had agreed to purchase. I attempted to contact Mike, as he was my contact person, has not bothered to return my calls. Also, I was assured that my utility bill would be lower but that is not the case. I can't help but feel if I had gotten which I agreed to at the purchase, my utility bill would have been lesser. Its a shame that people of this type feel the need to take advantage of a client not work openly and honestly manner. And, I feel is the likely the way they would prefer to be treated if they were the client. Anyone choosing to do business with Mike or Shawn, my recommendation is to exercise caution as their outlook of doing business my be from two different perspectives. read more

They are professional and offer great customer service. They were able to come out the same day I called. They saved the day!

Shawn Singh of Star Mechanical has been a tremendous help with my mother's AC. He is professional, friendly, patient, (which is super important to me as he's dealing with my elderly mom), and honest. His rates are reasonable and the quality of his work is excellent. Outstanding customer service. I would recommend him to anyone in the area for fast, friendly, reliable service. read more

I contacted Shawn and scheduled an appointment to have him come look at my heater. He came out and it ran a jumper wire and it began working fine but once he removed the wire it would not get hot anymore. So I called him and had another tech come out the next day. The tech came out and what ever he did it worked during that time as well but once again as soon as he left it began malfunctioning again, so I called Shawn back and he said he would have to charge me another fee to come out. I was a little hesitant about that seeing that all this happened within 3 days and I'm paying for a diagnostic fee/service call which is what I paid for the first time and I'm still without heat. I still agreed and he said that he would be out the next day. I work nights and get off early in the mornings so I explained to him I would just wait stay up and not up to sleep. I waited and waited and waited but no Shawn or call. I called him no answer I sent text messages no answer. My family and I was left with no heat on some of the coldest days of this year. I picked Star Mechanical based on the reviews but sometimes the reviews don't tell the full story. Nice guy but follow thru was disappointing. read more

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!! This must be Shawn's evil twin with the same name! I had them assigned by a Home Warranty Co. I had a previous diagnosis & it seemed cost effective to use the War Co and they assigned Shawn. It has been 2 months, they had the diagnosis handed to them on a silver platter. The tech I had come out 1st, said the motor was bad, in danger of blowing up the entire HVAC unit so he turned off the master switch. Shawn said the only problem was the switch was off. DUH!! So when the system still was not working, he refused to talk to me and said he would be out in 2 days & the tenant did not need to be there. I told the tenant to be there so Shawn could test the unit inside to see if it was working - remember, he checked it from the roof and could not tell it was not working. Shawn did not show up at all on the assigned day, rescheduled it for the following Monday, 10-N. Having to go thru the war co., it was confirmed THREE times. I called them at N, and Star said they were not due till N-2 p.m. I am fling a complaint with the Contractor's License Board against this company. My tenant has now had to stay home from work 2 full days for Star to do absolutely nothing. read more
