They are incredibly professional, honest, reliable, and fairly priced, with a pleasant and courteous staff who truly care about their customers. Communication is excellent throughout the entire process, and their attention to detail is outstanding. It's clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely value their customers. If you're looking for a trustworthy, dependable AC company, you can't go wrong with them! Thank you Calvin and Nicole! read more

We were having problems with our central air conditioning unit, and a previous tech (not from Calvin's) told us that we needed to change the whole system, which would cost $17-$20K. I called Calvin's for a second opinion, and he actually told us that replacement was not necessary at this time, and he was able to diagnose and fix the issue. We appreciated his knowledge, honesty, professionalism, and the fact that he didn't try to upsell us. He is also super friendly and gave us really great maintenance tips. The world needs more honest technicians like Calvin! We will definitely be using him for all our future AC needs. read more

Initially, Calvin's did not fix the issue we had. However, they reached out and after clearing up some mis-communication issues (to include our calling the wrong number), Calvin himself came back to our house to fix the issues. I appreciate the timeliness in rectifying the issues, thus I am updating my review to 4-stars. Thank you for understanding and fixing our AC! read more

We had been having a hard time getting in touch with the original AC technician who installed our five split units. After reading Calvin's excellent reviews on Yelp, we decided to give him a call -- and he came out the same day to assess the situation. His wife, Nicole, was incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Later that same day, Calvin returned after finishing another job. He immediately impressed us with his knowledge of the AC systems. Instead of pushing for expensive replacements, he recommended maintenance where possible, which saved us a significant amount of money. The estimate he provided was much lower than we had expected -- a welcome surprise. Calvin ended up replacing two of the units and performing maintenance on the remaining three -- all by himself. His attention to detail and excellent customer service made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Calvin is down-to-earth, approachable, and clearly takes pride in his work. We're extremely satisfied and highly recommend his services! read more

My condo manager recommended Calvin because he was familiar with my building and I'm glad I followed up on her advice. Calvin told me what was likely wrong with my A/C and fixed the problem. He also was nice enough to help me install a new Nest thermostat. I would definitely use him again! read more

Calvins AC is AWESOME!!!! Definitely call him for ALL you AC needs. He is honest, straightforward and will give you an honest deal! He absolutely shows PRIDE in his customer service and workmanship. He came out fast for an estimate on a defective unit I had from another installer, gave me his honest opinion and I ended up going with a new unit which was installed better than the existing and the install was fast. Call him for any servicing you have as well. He will not steer you wrong! Super great local company!!! Thank you Calvin and Nicole and Owen for having a great, great company!!! read more

My neighbor referred me to Calvin. I called Calvin's AC and Refrigeration and spoke with Nicole who was really, really nice. Nicole was very accommodating and I was able to schedule a service on a day and time that I was available. Calvin came out to service our 16 year old Fujitsu split air conditioner that wasn't getting very cold. He is very thorough and even though I didn't ask him to check our other condensers, he did. He is very proactive and honest. If you need to service your split ac, please call Calvin!! read more

I had the hardest time getting any company to service my unit. From no callback to schedule an appointment to surgery, it took me several days to find Calvin's AC, referred from another company. Even though he was super busy (record global temperatures), he made time to take a look at my unit and suggest a solution, giving me both a best and worst case scenario. It did take awhile before he was able to return, but he serviced the coil and the air conditioning is a little cooler than before, but still not enough cfm's. Ultimately, though, it looks like the entire unit was undersized, as the building maintenance guy initially suggested. I've worked in the HVAC industry so I can tell he knows his business. The next step is replacing the unit, so we'll see how that goes. read more

Calvin is friendly and professional! He's thorough in his work and makes sure the job is done and done right. The place where I insert the AC filter needed to be modified and it wasn't easy to deal with. Calvin was patient and determined to fix the problem and he did. He gave me several helpful tips regarding periodic AC maintenance that will help my AC run smoothly. Plus, his rates are reasonable and competitive! I plan to have him as my AC expert and would highly recommend him! read more

I highly recommend this company! After a frustrating search for someone to quote and install a split AC system...no call backs, no shows, non-licensed contractors, I was referred to Calvin's Air Conditioning & Refrigeration. Decided to go with Calvin within the first 10 minutes of the appointment. Fair pricing, quick service and a detailed explanation of pro/cons of the brands. Took a week from quote to install. Great warranty and I expect to be working with Calvin long term...for maintenance and to change out my old window units as they die. I love my new Fujitsu..cool and very quiet! read more

Calvin is a gem! Our AC was broken and we desperately needed someone to come out to help us. After calling and getting quotes through yelp for numerous companies (some did not repair, most did not have open availabilities until the end of the month or next month) I finally found Calvin. Seriously, when you need someone to help you, when it feels like there isnt anyone, you try to get the help no matter how many reviews a company has. I feel like I'm letting the best kept secret out right now. He saved us when we needed the help ASAP. He made sure the job was done and done right. Calvin always kept in contact with us and I will be using him from now on for all our AC needs. FYI, He accepts cash or check ------------------------------------------- Here is the long story of our AC troubles and how Calvin saved us. I appreciate him coming out so much that I even took the time to type this all out! Got our AC serviced two weeks ago by another company. They refilled 3lbs of refrigerant. Came home from a trip after a week to our AC absolutely not working... on a Saturday mind you. Called the company and explained the situation. They said to call a repair company. I couldnt find the companies closest to Ewa to come out ASAP or even answer their phones. I waited till Monday to start contacting businesses again. I made an appointment for an estimate for Wednesday from one company but also got someone else to come on Monday to take a look. Took a chance and paid for it even though they were not able to fix my issue. Talk about desperate. They said my refrigerant was low again. So there was a possible leak. Wednesday comes and another guy comes out to check the leak. They used soap and water found possible location but was not able to fix it and soonest appointment for repair would be the following Saturday. NOT something you want to hear when you live in Ewa and need AC and have to stay at your parents house until the AC is up again. Lol Thursday I'm desperately trying to contact everyone on yelp. I'm sure I contacted the same companies multiple times because I cant remember who I called and who I just overlooked. Then... I get in touch with Calvin. I told him that I have a leak in our central AC unit and the story of how the previous company found it etc. He said he would be able to come by on Friday at 1pm and he would fix the issue. Heck yeah! Friday comes and I show him the unit and he said he could check the system for additional leaks while I'm like nah.. (of course because I'm a cheapo and didnt want to pay for the nitrogen test again when the last company said where it was) so, I just said to do what needs to be done on that part. He was happy to get to work until I told him my husband said to do what he needs to do because the guy on Wednesday couldnt isolate the system. Calvin just said he was going to start fresh. Not take in to account what anyone said before. He found the leak that wasnt even the place the other company said. He got the entire outside unit up to standard. When he told me to turn on the system, the outside unit turned on and I thought I was good to go but... no cold air. I figure give it time. Nope. Calvin stayed to check what was going on. He went into the attic to find that the fan wasnt blowing! Man I'm so glad he didnt leave. He didnt just take my payment before making sure the system worked. Although Calvin had another appointment to get to, he did say he would come back the next day to check out the fan to see which part he would need to get as it could be one of a few things. And being the great honest guy that he is, he said it was just tacking on to today as opposed to being like another service call which is minimum 2 hours. On Saturday, Calvin comes back and finds the issue. And although the store to get the parts wasnt open, he assured me he would contact me for the quote of the part. Let's just say, today... I have AC again! Once I felt the cool air blowing, I thought I could cry! I wish I contacted Calvin the first day that our AC went down. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

Just the facts: Excellent customer service, hard working and just all around good people! We're so happy that we picked them to install our new A/C system!!! read more

We have a business in Kapaa Quarry and were in those metal bunkers. Our AC's failed on us (were running some 90s lookin split systems from the prior tenants) and you know that it's expensive when they give out. 2 other companies came out and said that it's not fixable we need to replace and gave us quotes over 8k. I'm a three company checker naturally and my final company was Calvin. Not only did he FIX Clean, and flush 2 out of the 3 systems he was reasonable!! Keeping my girls in the office happy is priority one and I'm certain that if those ACs weren't running I would have had a few of them quit. He was also honest. Told us that the 2 main ACs can cool off the entire office we shouldnt worry about the third just yet. Hell give us a quote and well have time to make a good decision with no pressure. 3 Months later were still good! He was right and as one local business to another I really appreciated that. Hes now our regular service guy because I can Trust him. read more

Calvin's is the BEST hands down. I am delighted with the workmanship and the cost. I replaced my aging split AC unit with a new one and watched their installation process step by step. They are so meticulous and strive for perfection. I should mention that I got 5 quotes from different companies before deciding on Calvin's. I would highly recommend them. Look no further, seriously. read more

I have a air conditioning wall mount unit that was not used for years... Calvin came out checked it out spent time (at least hour and used his own supplies in replacing fluid ) trying to salvage it and could not.. I expected a service fee for at least coming out- was so surprised when he said " if I can't fix or help- I'm not going to charge" wow.... the real deal and good ole fashion island aloha...

Our AC stopped working Friday night. I called Calvin at 9:30pm that night in hopes someone would answer. Sure enough, Calvin answered. He related he had an install Saturday and would be out as soon as he could. Saturday afternoon, he checked my entire system, found the problem, and now I have AC. He explained everything he was going to do. Calvin's customer service is on point and his ability to diagnose the issue and fix it quickly was phenomenal. I highly recommend Calvin! read more

Calvin's is a husband and wife shop. If you call Calvin's Calvin himself will come out and fix your unit. My condo unit's AC was blowing hot air. Calvin explained exactly what he was doing as he diagnosed the problem. He explained possible problems and, when he found a bad capacitor, replaced it with a more reliable one. He then completely checked and serviced the unit and explained what I needed to do to keep my unit in good condition. He even gave me some tips on how to operate my unit most efficiently. Calvin was very friendly and willing to answer any question I had. Having my air conditioner fixed was actually a pleasant experience. In addition, his charges were very reasonable and there were absolutely no extra or unnecessary charges. If you want knowledgeable and honest air conditioning repair, you should call Calvin's. read more

I had to come back for another praise report (my last review was a year ago) for Calvin & his wife Nicole. This duo is nothing short of AMAZING! We called in for our yearly maintenance, only to run into some issues with our living room unit (split AC) prior to our scheduled service. My husband called Nicole and she was able to fit us in for a much sooner date to take a look at the issue. Calvin found the coil needed to be replaced. They snapped right into action and took care of handling the warranty with our AC manufacturers (I didn't have to do a thing). When they returned (only a week later) he came back with a brand new AC unit, they even completed our maintenance at the same time. Talk about WOW! We called, they scheduled, and they delivered!! THANK YOU! Calvin & Nicole, you definitely have a customer for life!! read more

Calvin did AC installs at our business in 2 parts.... Smaller office was done last year and other offices done this year... He does such fantastic work so clean and professional. Workmanship is very clean and solid. Calvin was such a super find and you will be very happy happy when you choose Calvin and his crew... read more

Thank you Calvin for replacing my master bedroom ac unit! Calvin and his staff is professional and provided us with outstanding service. Definitely will do business again! read more

Reliable, fast, and efficient! With over 20 years of experience with ACs, Calvin is very knowledgeable and professional! Our Mitsubishi split unit AC stopped working unexpectedly one night and it was difficult to find a company that could come to diagnosis our AC within a reasonable timeframe- most companies I checked with either weren't available until the following month or weren't taking new clients. Thankfully Calvin was able to come take a look at our AC the next day! He did a quick evaluation and explained what he thought may have happened and what was needed to get our AC up and running again, along with a price quote/estimate. He ordered a part and returned the following day. He installed the new part but unfortunately our AC still wasn't working properly. At this point he was honest and said he wasn't sure what was going on and that this was an issue he hasn't come across before- but he didn't give up and was determined to get our AC working again!! After talking with Mitsubishi, he returned a few days later with more parts. He took his time with the installation and made sure each unit was working properly before he left. We haven't had any issues with our AC since the repair and are so happy it's working again! I would definitely recommend Calvin to friends and family and will be using him again in the future if needed! read more

Very helpful & professional! Calvin came out on a holiday to diagnose & repair. Although an older system, Calvin suggested a simple cost effective fix. Since the initial repair was relatively small, he included it in the service call. Great customer service...Thank you! read more

At Calvin's I felt like I was receiving an honest and professional service! They went out of their way to fix the issue on the spot even though they were just set to do a diagnosis. Two other companies that we had come look at our AC told us we need a brand new one and were quick and unprofessional. Calvin fixed it within 20 min! Thank you for your honesty, professionalism and customer service. read more

I called different companies to come service my two split ac systems. One company was too busy to be bothered, one company returned calls days later, and one company didn't like it when I asked questions. Calvin's was by far the quickest to get back to me and answer all my questions. Once my appointment was made, Calvin's called me on the day of the appointment to confirm, arrived on time, and took the time to explain the process, and made sure I was thoroughly satisfied with the service! Calvin treated me with Aloha and he took pride in his work! Highly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future! read more

After reading several reviews about AC contractors on the island of Oahu, I came across reviews for Calvin's, and he was the first person I called. It was definitely the best decision my husband and I made! He and his wife Nicole are just phenomenal people with lots of Aloha and a commitment to providing superior customer service. Within days of conducting the intial walk through, I received a quote that was way within our budget and they were able to order and execute the installation within a matter of days! Calvin and his brother Owen completed the install with such meticulousness, there was truly no doubt in my mind, we made the right decision. Since Calvin is also a certified member of the Hawaii Energy program, he was able to get us a $1000 rebate on our system! read more

Thank you for answering our questions and clearing the clogged drain for us last week :) We never had a central AC unit before and when it didn't work well, we got so nervous. It was so nice to have you come and help us :) Thanks again :) Serena read more

Calvin just fixed my AC. He is a very easygoing, nice guy. I was fortunate he found room in his schedule, and he diagnosed and solved the problem very efficiently. I was impressed that he puts a warranty on his work, is licensed AND insured. Smart guy. Plus he has a gentlemanly quality and very pleasant nature. I highly recommend him for AC repair! read more

Calvin was great! We had him come over to service our central AC unit. He was very fair and honest about the work that needed to be done to our system and was nice and respectful as well. I would recommend! read more

I found this business from Yelp and I'm so glad because Calvin was very courteous and helpful. We spoke on the phone regarding my split AC quad not cooling and I asked if he could come to check it out. He was very honest and walked me through what it could possibly be wrong. Calvin did fix the issue and now all my Air Conditioners are working properly and cooling the rooms. I highly recommend Calvin's Air Conditioning for your AC needs. He responded quickly and gives you an honest quote and fixes the issue. Mahalo Calvin! read more
