He demonstrated a level of professionalism that went above and beyond. I was quoted a ridiculous amount by another repair company and, decided to get a second opinion. I reached out to Central California Air Inc., and Luis responded and quickly identified the problem, he has unparalleled integrity and demonstrated it by fixing the core problem and I noticed the previous company was deceptive with their repair tactics. I would definitely recommend Central Air Inc. for any and all of your A/C repairs and installs.

Third time it recently failed the second time they came down it was like pulling teeth for them to come fix their rigged repairs. Had to call several times. Kept flaking on the days they scheduled us. This third time their replacement part failed We called another company to come and look at it. The tech showed us what was rigged to replace the parts they said they replaced. They cut off certain components to make things "function". When you pay for service you expect to have the job done right not have things rigged to "make things work". Have some integrity Central California Air......

I am sharing this review to document my full experience with McKenney's Air Conditioning, from…read moreservice through final resolution. McKenney's originally installed my HVAC system and later returned after water was visibly draining from the secondary condensate system, which their technician explained indicated the primary system was not functioning properly. During that visit, they determined the drain pan from their prior installation was unlevel and reworked the primary condensate drain line, including resoldering copper piping. Secondary safety sensors were also installed at that time. Despite this work, the system was left in a condition that later failed, resulting in sudden water damage inside my home. Emergency mitigation and repairs were required and paid for out of pocket. I made repeated good-faith efforts to resolve the issue directly with McKenney's and through their liability insurer. Their insurer later acknowledged in writing that the condensate drain configuration did not include a vent/standpipe, yet responsibility for the damage was still denied. McKenney's also refused to pay for emergency services that were verbally authorized at the time. I pursued the matter through small claims court but did not prevail. While the legal outcome was not in my favor, the facts of the loss never changed: water damage occurred, repairs were necessary, and the costs were real and documented. Ultimately, my homeowners insurance paid the claim and is now pursuing subrogation against McKenney's and/or their insurers. Subrogation means the insurance company steps into the homeowner's shoes to recover the money it paid from the party it determines is responsible. Insurance companies do not pursue subrogation unless they conclude there is a legitimate basis to do so. In my experience, this loss resulted from negligent and faulty workmanship, specifically the failure to leave the system in a properly functioning condition after service. This was a preventable failure that occurred only after McKenney's performed work on the system. The small claims outcome reflected a misunderstanding of how the loss occurred, not an absence of evidence, and left me carrying the burden until my insurer stepped in. In my opinion, homeowners should avoid McKenney's Air Conditioning. There are many reputable HVAC companies that stand behind their work, correct their own mistakes, and do not force customers through months of stress, escalation, and financial exposure to resolve preventable damage. Based on my experience, McKenney's did not demonstrate the level of care, accountability, or professionalism homeowners should expect when trusting a contractor with their home.

We purchased an inverter AC system from him and it was slightly more expensive than a standard AC unit, but much more energy efficient and half the foot print.

I had hired two people before Ted, and all they told me was that it just needed a cleaning but they were completely wrong. Ted took the time to thoroughly troubleshoot, checking every possibility step by step, and he finally found the real problem. The next day, he picked up the parts and installed everything that same afternoon. Ted is truly an incredible professional. I've never spoken with someone so knowledgeable and thoughtful about HVAC. He's a total rock star. I've already recommended him to my neighbor, and honestly, I think more people in the community will be dealing with the same issue and could really benefit from his help.

Tucker Poe from Stockdale Aire was the tech on our job. We needed both of our HVAC systems replaced. My wife and I were extremely impressed with Tucker's knowledge and work ethic. He was always right on time and kept us updated as he completed the very large job. His work was impeccable and completed exactly when promised. He is a very likeable and courteous person. We were satisfied with the cost of the job, and the high quality of the units installed. We would absolutely recommend Stockdale Aire. We are somewhat new to this area and didn't know who to call for this job. We have a family member that met Tucker through their church. We are very grateful to our family member for the referral.

After having my AC unit serviced by South Valley AC & Heating, I started experiencing an…read moreintermittent issue where the compressor would stop running while the indoor fan continued blowing warm air. If I shut the system off for a while and turned it back on, it would sometimes work again--but the problem was inconsistent and difficult to reproduce. What really impressed me was South Valley AC & Heating's commitment to making it right. They came back out three additional times as a courtesy to diagnose the problem. The first two visits were challenging because the compressor was working normally when they arrived, so there wasn't an obvious issue to find. On the third visit, they happened to arrive while the compressor was acting up, which allowed them to identify and fix the problem. I really appreciated that they stood behind their work and didn't give up just because the issue was intermittent. They were professional, responsive, and genuinely wanted to make sure my AC was working properly before considering the job finished. It's easy to provide good service when the problem is obvious. It's much harder to stick with a customer through an intermittent issue, and that's exactly what South Valley AC & Heating did. I highly recommend them for their honesty, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction.

If I could give South Valley Air Conditioning 10 stars, I would!…read more Our air conditioner went out at 8:00 PM during this brutal heat, and I figured we'd be miserable until the next day. I was completely wrong. They were at our house within an hour, diagnosed the problem immediately, ordered the parts, and were back at 9:00 AM the next morning with everything repaired. I have honestly never experienced customer service like this. Their response time was unbelievable, their professionalism was second to none, and the quality of their work was absolutely outstanding. Every employee we dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely cared about getting our home cool again as fast as possible. In a world where great customer service is hard to find, South Valley Air Conditioning completely exceeded every expectation. They turned a stressful situation into one of the best service experiences we've ever had . If you need heating or air conditioning work, do yourself a favor and call South Valley Air Conditioning first. They've earned a customer for life, and I will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you for setting the gold standard for what exceptional service should look like!
