Over the weekend, we realized our AC unit wasn't working appropriately. Submitted a request with my warranty company and we were connected with Grogan. First thing, Monday morning, I received a call from Lili. She was very professional and prompt. In less than an hour, Trent was at our home and replaced the capacitor. We could not be more happy with the customer service and speed. Thank you again! read more

Great customer service along with quality work while being courteous and professional. Our homes air-conditioning unit needed servicing. They came out in a timely manner and did the work necessary to get it up and running properly for a more than reasonable charge on the first few hottest days of 2026. highly recommended for your HVAC needs read more

See all

Let me just start the owner of the company is a awesome person very trustworthy and truthful what he said the cost was it was honest and just all around great company to work with I give them 5 stars all the way. I also want to commend the service thec who came out very knowledgeable about our unit did repairs in a timely manner and was very respectful and helpful on the whole process thank you again GROGAN read more

When I came home from a few days away my air conditioner wasn't working. It wouldn't turn on at all! I contacted my home warranty company and they sent service request to Grogan. They got back to me within a few hours. Lili (not sure if I got her name correctly) answered my callback with courtesy & professionalism. She was able to schedule a technician to come out the next morning. Chris, my technician, was prompt, pleasant and efficient. The work was done in a timely manner. I'm very happy with the service they gave and would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Grogan Mechanical for a stress free experience. read more

My husband, our pups, and I are SO grateful for Grogan!!! Our AC went out on July 12th, and unfortunately, Fidelity initially dispatched another local company that had no idea what they were doing and ended up making things worse. Grogan had been out to our home earlier this year for a tune-up and capacitor issue, so I pushed to have our service request switched to them. After many battles with Fidelity and almost eight weeks without AC during the hottest part of summer, they finally agreed to let Grogan take over and our system was replaced. It's now been running perfectly for two weeks! I cannot say enough good things about the entire team. Lily was always so kind and patient when helping me schedule, and they consistently managed to fit me in same- or next-day, which was such a relief during this ordeal. Monique went above and beyond -- always willing to answer my many questions and more than thorough in explaining what was happening behind the scenes. Darrin, the owner, quickly accepted the work when contacted by Fidelity, and his sense of urgency to get this completed for us was night and day compared to the initial company. And the techs who came out (Cole, Trent, Esteban, Chris, and Robert) were all fantastic, punctual, and professional! I will never call another company to service our HVAC. And for anyone else using a home warranty: know that you can request your preferred company! As long as they're contracted with your warranty provider, they should be dispatched. Lily and Monique both confirmed this for me, and I'll definitely take the extra step to request Grogan directly in the future -- hopefully saving myself the headache (and maybe the excruciating heat ) next time. 10/10 -- I'd recommend Grogan to anyone in Bakersfield needing HVAC work! read more

if I could give this company 100 stars I would! Grogan Mechanical had a cancellation so they called me back to reschedule my appointment for the same day (originally scheduled for the day after I made my service request). The technician who came out, Nick, was very personable and efficient! He even showed me the part he replaced on my air conditioning unit - pointing out the burnt and corroded areas - and fully explained the function of the part. I will absolutely use Grogan Mechanical for all of my repair needs. Thank you again! read more

This company was sent through my home warranty, the technician refilled my coolant on my ac, but also told me the the unit had a leak. They never sent anyone back to fix the leak and my ac stopped cooling again. I called the company to ask if they were coming back to fix the ac but they had no record of the conversation I had with the technician. I had to pay a different company to come fix it. I definitely do not recommend them. read more

First of all. Good business practices include having accountability & integrity for the work that is being performed. If the job is not complete, this company should make the customer the priority. Monique G (dispatch manger, I guess)....personally gave me the worst customer service experience I have ever had with any business. Did not acknowledge my issue I was having, got loud & annoyed with me, & basically shunned me. She is horrible. She shouldn't bring her personal issues to the job. I will never use this company again & I encourage whomever is looking for this type of service to look elsewhere. I cannot believe these guys. read more

I had previously written a negative review and decided to delete it because they came back out to work on my AC again. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. Regret it wholeheartedly. 7 appointments since June and 3 "repairs" done with no resolution. All the technicians that come out are inexperienced and stay on the phone with someone else telling them what to do. Nothing that they stated was wrong with my AC was true. They changed major components and charged my warranty company monies for nothing. Ac still not working after 2 months of this company working on it. Stay away from this company. Not worth your time and money. read more

Couldn't be happier with Grogan mechanical as they have always been on time and communication is great which is hard to come by. Just had our Ac serviced and they were very thorough and explained everything very well. It's nice having 100% confidence in a HVAC company and the feeling that they are honest. When we need another service or repair, we will be calling. read more

And, to top it all off the required a Title 24 Certification failed to be scheduled by Grogran as part of the agreement with the warranty company, which I find out about months later. I will follow up with my legal team on this since this was part of the agreement made between the three parties. Thankfully, I don't ever have to use this company again--buyer beware!! See previous post and photo of the replaced unit left in front of my house! read more

Our AC was kaput, so we called Grogan. Technician arrived on time and was mannerable and professional. After checking the unit outside, he grabbed his ladder and tools and went to work in the attic. Diagnosis: shot transformer. Before Brandon replaced it, he gave me the total price. After the repair, he checked the temp to make sure it was cold. No upselling, no scare tactics, just fixed our unit with straightforward pricing. read more

My HVAC would be leaking on the bottom when it's on for a while. I went through my home warranty and they contacted Grogan Mechanical. They gave me a window between 8am-12pm and I received a text message on when Emmanuel will be coming. He came a little after 8am. I showed him what my concerns were. My HVAC was leaking slightly at the pipe. There was also a little water coming out from the pipe that's connected to attic to the outside. He brought his ladder to go into my attic to check my furnace. Emmanuel also inspected the wires and checked the temperate to both the furnace and HVAC. He saw that they were both functioning normally and the leaks were mainly just condensation. He cleaned my HVAC before he left. Overall, I had a good experience with Emmanuel and the person who scheduled my appointment on the phone. Wish they were open on the weekend though so I didn't have to take a day off of work. read more

First and Foremost Monique the receptionist/dispatcher is disrespectful. She needs to work on her customer service skills. She sounds annoyed every time I call when she answers and does not relay messages or does not care to call the customer back. I used Grogan for A/C mini splits and came across a couple issues, so I called them back to hold them accountable and Monique does not pass information to her supervisor and keeps the customer on the back burner. I would not rely on this business to get A/C up and running on time and if they do you may have to call them back. They don't warranty or guarantee their work. read more

Darrin Grogan responding to an elderly person in the hospital for heat stroke: I'm in a 70 degree AC house right now and I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight. On 8/7/20, our home warranty commissioned Grogan Mechanical to fix our broken AC during 110 degree weather. According to the home warranty company, the ordered AC part was available for pick up on 8/11/20. When I called to notify Darrin Grogan, owner, on 8/13/20 that the part was available and this should be prioritized because my elderly parent had to be hospitalized due to a heat stroke, his response was absolutely unprofessional. Though I was upset, Grogan was speaking on the phone with curse words, said that the delay was due to the home warranty, and the part cannot be expedited installed because of his workers' scheduling issues. When I reminded him that my elderly parent's safety was at stake and already had to seek medical care, he responded, verbatim, "Why didn't you take care of your parent? I'm in a 70 degree AC house right now and I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight." Essentially, Grogan and his employees had no empathy for our situation and did absolutely nothing except curse and scold us as the customers. The part remained in their office as they ignored any calls and pleas to expedite the install. Today, 8/14/20, we still have a 90 year old elderly person in the house during 110 degree weather. Install date is still delayed until 8/17/20 with on-going attempts to expedite secondary to extenuating circumstances. Grogan's response to this was "Don't ***** me off or else I'll cancel the job and you'll have to f****** start all over with this process with [home warranty]." Very unprofessional and unbelievably heartbreaking. The lack of humanity and empathy from Grogan and his company is absolutely disheartening. Please avoid all business and heart ache with this inconsiderate company. Furthermore, as I'm reading through other bad reviews, I see that Grogan responds with zero accountability, high defensiveness, and a lot of blame on the client with bad experiences. I anticipate this will have a similar response. However the fact remains, Grogan and his team have been inconsiderate and insulting throughout this entire process. read more

Left a message and Darren never returned my call. Poor customer service? Poor review! read more

I used Emanuel Banos from GROGAN MECHANICAL for AC service and this was some honest service. I Highly Recommend this company to service your home AC. Long story short, we called GROGAN MECHANICAL for 2nd opinion from our 1st estimate for AC repair. 1st AC company we used I will leave their name out of this due to not hurting their business... estimate was $5800 to repair condenser, coil, and pan. I was in shock so we wanted 2nd option and called Grogan Mechanical... when Emanuel called me after reviewing the work needed my bill was $115 dollars for service. Cleaned the secondary line, coil, and pan. He told me the coil and condenser was fine and didn't need to be replaced and after service the AC was blowing nice cool air. Just needed some servicing. So be careful out there. I know nothing about AC unit and could have been taken for $5800 from the unnamed AC company... Grogan Mechanical saved me a grip and customer service was outstanding... thank you read more

Recently used Grogan Mechanical for 1st time. Very responsive, professional and accomodating. Installed new HVAC (roof mount) on a rental property within 3 days of 1st contact just before it started to get into hi 90's low 100's. They will be our new go-to folks for all things heating and air. Thanks Darrin & Matt! read more

Tech did an amazing job. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. This was the best experience with a home warranty (choice). They fix my ac faster than what they said they would. Office staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Grogan for taking pride on your work ethic and professionalism. read more

My AC unit froze up and was not functioning at all. It would turn on but wouldn't blow out any air. I called my home warranty company and they put me in contact with Grogan Mechanical Inc. Grogan's response time was pleasantly quick and I was put on their schedule two day wait. The day after I was put on the schedule Grogan called and had an opening that day and I took it. Not only did they bump up my appointment but they showed up when they said they would. The service technician Chris Paredes was friendly and explained how he was going to diagnose what was going on with my AC unit. This guy was good with his process of elimination and communication with me he figured out I had a brown out kinda like a black out and that could have messed up the two units of the outside unit communicating with the inside unit. And i said I had the power go out the morning my AC stopped working. I was impressed with the knowledge and the time Chris took to diagnose. After Chris reset the AC unit we has cold air again Chris stuck around testing the refrigerants and the air flow out of my vents. He did not get it running and take off. He wanted to make sure I was good to go. I will totally recommend Grogan Mechanical Inc. Thank You Kevin Cassidy read more

I highly recommend this business. Matt was an outstanding technician who fixed our AC problems quickly and professionally. Their prices are fair, and we received excellent customer service. read more

Technician just left. Did an amazing job from start to finish. Was early, very professional and competent. Office staff was cordial and made sure I was aware of process from start to completion. I fully recommend this company for any of your HVAC needs. read more

Our experience with Grogan Mechanical was OUTSTANDING! They delivered professional and timely service. This is a business we would recommend to anyone looking for a service, repair or replacement! read more

They came out twice per our Home Owners insurance claim. We continued to have issues with our AC unit up until recently it just gave out. Filed another claim with our homeowners insurance paid another $75 out of our pocket and had a new contracted AC Tech come out inspected outside and inside and asked if the unit was recently worked on which it was. Then he proceeded to tell us that the unit was just patched up to make it run and not worked correctly and professionally. He told us that the board had many heat/wear marks in which he showed us and the blower motor was shot and also said he will service the entire unit thoroughly in which he will do of his own accord. Wish Grogan was thorough and fixed the problem on the first try. read more

Needed service for our broken heater upstairs in Attic. Alfonso came out from Grogan heating - very prompt, very courteous, did a great job. Repaired one part - waited around for 10 minutes - and another part failed. He replaced that too! Now we are good to go with heating again. VERY happy with this company and the tech they sent. read more

Each summer for the past several years I had issues with my air conditioner operating inconsistently when the thermostat was set. My warranty company would assign a merchant to inspect and make the necessary repairs. Each year inspectors were not able to find any issues. This year the problem continued and the assigned AC company again assured me the AC was fine suggesting I needed an electrician to check the circuit box. The electrician determined the problem was not the circuit box, but the AC putting out too many amps. Great potential for a fire! A second company, Grogan, was assigned to reinspect the AC and agreed there were issues that needed immediate attention. Darrin from Grogan worked that afternoon in 106 degree weather to get the necessary work done. Thank you to both Ivan of Core Electric for insisting the need to have another review by an AC company and Darrin at Grogan Mechanical for a job well done ! read more

When people are dealing with customers on a regular basis, there should be some amount of customer service. I understand it gets hot and busy, but we, the customer, deserve a level of professionalism and respect. That said, the technician representing Grogan, James (I didn't get last name), was unprofessional, rude, and disrespectful. At the start when James arrived, till the very end, James was rude and short with us. We explained our AC situation, but he quickly shut us down as if he did not want to hear our perspective of what we were experiencing with our AC. At the end of it, James demanded payment. I explained that I will pay online through my Home Warrenty, which contracted Grogan out. He was not pleased with that and said quite coarsely that I needed to pay immediately before they come back, and that they take cash or card, and began to stare me down to intimidate me. I said "okay, I'll pay online", to reiterate what I said. "Do you understand??", James said as I started back at him in awe of the rude question. I said, yes I understand. He proceeded to stare me down and ask the question again. Maybe he assumed I wouldn't pay the service call out fee, for whatever reason. I did not give him a reason to act this way or be rude. One can assess and question why, but regardless, unprofessionalism, rudeness, intimidation tactics are the fruit of whatever James and Grogan Mechanical has produced. I have contacted my Home Warranty so they may send another HVAC company for a second opinion. I do not trust what James prognosis was. read more

My home warranty set me up with Grogan and I had never heard of this company before. I am so glad they did. I was told two days to install a complete new unit. Well the first day this amazing crew stayed in to the evening to get me up and running as it was 105 in July to make sure I would have AC that night. They completed the rest the following day. This crew is amazing. As far as the owner he was also amazing in helping through the home warranty process. The unit I received is one of the best. Thank you all for your professional and honest work. I recommend this company to anyone. read more

They are the worst company! If I could they wouldn't get any stars!!!!! The technician that was dispatched to check my AC, ended up breaking it and didn't tell us. He left without explaining what he had done and that the AC could not be used! When I called the manager that works Sundays, he disputed and argued with me and in the end he actually told me to Fuck Off and hung up!! Now what type of company does that to a client? I do not RECOMMEND THEM at all!!!! Save yourself hassle and go to a legit company. read more

Grogan's was so awesome! Prompt service and they fixed my AC in like 10 minutes!! I can't recommend enough!! Best AC company in town!

Thank you crew! Monique & Wilber! Fast service and affordable. Got the job done! Absolutely recommend!

Fantastic service! We have owned our home for 30+ years. This home was originally built in 1960 and we just completed a 1000 sf addition. Grogan Mechanical installed a new Rheem system for the addition, updated all the venting in the original part of home and made additional suggestions on insulation....our monthly electric is much lower and our larger home is so much cooler. In the past our AC ran non-stop during hot Summer months and the house never felt comfortable - some rooms would be cool and others would remain too hot. Thank you Darrin for spending the time to help us achieve our comfort and energy efficiency goals. Ray and Jana read more

We used Grogan Mechanical through our Home Warranty. It was simple and quick. Grogan Mechanical called me to set up the appointment and made it for the same day. The lady who called was professional and understanding of our situation. The window of arrival was 2-4 and the tech arrived right before 2. I received a text that the tech was on his way. He also called me to let me know he was there. The tech met me at my house and was nice enough to wait for me since I work out of town. The tech was professional and very helpful. He got the problem fixed in about an hour and half. I would definitely use Grogan Mechanical again. read more

Amazing service! They had our air fixed within about an hr and a half of initial visit. Had the part needed without having to wait to order it. Super nice and friendly. read more

They responded as fast as they could. I know it's the summer and they're busy. They're technician Emmanuel was very professional. He is a true man of integrity. He found the problem and fixed it. In this case it was a blown fuse. I was expecting the same old low Freon due to a pin hole in your line repair for $900.00 but that was not the case. I will continue to use Grogan moving forward. They saved me a lot of money and did not taking advantage of this customer. Thanks for showing me love Grogan Mechanical. read more

Great job! Texted in advance to say they would be arriving on time. The work was done quickly and the repairs were performed expertly, the AC now working fine. Professional and courteous, Matt was informative and efficient. read more

If you are reading this, please take note that when it comes to any residential work over $499, a licensed contractor is required by law. You can file a complaint with California State License Board (CLSB) and have a contractors license suspended or terminated depending on their violation. I did! And Grogan Mechanical's contractor's license is being suspended due to 2 violations. You can do more than just a negative review on YELP! Grogan Mechanical, James the technician, and Darrin the owner, are crooks and are impossible to work with. I'll spare you the rude conversations, but when I told Darrin I would file a complaint with CSLB, he said "Go ahead, I don't care." I bet he cares now! Here's a summary. A rooftop fuse blew after Jame's repair. Darrin refused to have James return for 2 weeks (said they were busy) and fix an exposed electrical problem that James created during the repair. When James arrived he came thru my gate, got on my roof and never even knocked on the door. When I asked him why didn't he knock on door, he said, "I don't have to". I told him yes you do. He called his boss Darrin and left without replacing the fuse or fixing or dianosing the unit. Austin HAC to the rescue! (Fidelity Home Warranty (I recommend them) dispatched another company, Austin Heating and AC (I recommend then also), even though my contract was up and it had been 2 months since the initial repair. Austin HAC (Rob) cam out and diagnosed the unit and found the compressor was pulling locked rotor amps (LRA) and was failing. Rob said he would report back to Fidelity and Fidelity would replace the rooftop package unit. He was right. I now have a new unit thanks to Austin HAC and Fidelity. The installer (Mike) was very professional. If you need AC service I recommend you try Austin HAC. 661 587-4702 Continuing: So I went to CSLB web site to file a complaint about 1) the exposed wiring and 2) I was not given a written contract/estimate to sign before work was started during the first nor second visit. And I noticed that Grogan Mechanical had filed an EXEMPT statement about Workers Comp Insurance. Here's what I saw. This license is exempt from having workers compensation insurance; they certified that they have no employees at this time. Effective Date: 12/10/2015 Expire Date: None So Grogan Mechanical was obviously violated contractors law by not having workers comp insurance and having an employee. I filed a complaint about that as well. Rhonda at CSLB has since called me to inform me that she has investigated my complaints and that Grogan Mechanical's contractor's license is in the process of being suspended. You can check it's status at https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=830328 So homeowners remember, the California State License Board is there to protect homeowners. So never use unlicensed vendors because they are operating illegally and you have no recourse expect to sue them. And they obviously will have shallow pockets. (Per CSLB, the only work which may be done at a California residence by an unlicensed vendor is handyman work totalling $499 or less including parts and labor. Vendor must include and charge for the parts instead of asking homeowner to purchase them.) Consequences of Contracting Without a License: http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Contractors/Journeymen/Journeymen_Unlicensed_Consequences.aspx If you read all of this, I thank you for your patience. read more

Outstanding!! Grogan mechanic fixed my air conditioning unit in 1 day! They fixed what 2 other home warranty recommended providers took 2 months to not fix, beat around the bush, causing more problems to mention!! Darrin and his team are hard working, knowledgeable, PROFESSIONALS who get the job done right the first time!!! They sure fixed a mess and FAST!!! So impressed!!! They fixed what others couldn't, cleaned up a huge mess, righted all wrongs!!! Can't say enough good things!! Highest recommendation!!! read more

US Navy Veteran. They were dispatched out to our house to fix our pool pump over a year ago at the time they started cleaning our pool with the company Splash Pools. They would never show up to clean our pool or they would show up and say the gate was locked even though they had a key. They would also say our dogs were in the backyard even though when we hired them we told them we had dogs and they met our dogs and had zero issues. They kept trying to bill us even though they would never clean our pool. My wife talked with Darren the owner and he said he would talk to the pool cleaner. Then his pool guy as well as himself would call my wife and just say the meanest things. He says we didn't pay him for 6 months of service which is a lie. Fast forward to today our A/C went out and we called our home warranty. They dispatch out Grogan Mechanical yet when I call Darren he says no we don't have any work order. He then says that my name sounds familiar but he can't place it. I call the Home warranty back to ask for another call out. Then Darren calls me back and I tell him that the Home Warranty already sent someone else. He then says that he found our old account that we never paid and that we are a bunch of F***Kers, he then hangs up on me so I call him back and says yea you Fing heard me you guys are a bunch of POS's who are probably on Welfare F you this and F you that. He then tells me that he is going to kick my A@#. I have since called the Home Warranty to let them know that this is who is representing them and I have all called the BBB. Beware of this terrible company that has zero customer service. US Navy Veteran. read more

Wow! Unprofessional and unacceptable. Think twice about using Grogan Mechanical in Bakersfield. My child answered the door when the repairman arrived, because I was in the backyard waiting at the AC unit. The repairman was asked to go around to the back, however he insisted he enter the home, and (without asking) walked directly inside past my child and proceeded upstairs without any adult accompaniment or supervision! My son ran outside and told me the repairman entered the house. When I arrived he was coming back downstairs and stated he needed to turn the unit on before proceeding with the repair. Furthermore, he tracked dirt into a house in which shoes are never worn. After questioning why he would think it was ok to enter a home alone with a child, he said because I, an adult, was on the "premises" it was allowed based on company policy. I justifiably wasn't happy and told him what I thought about that. He said he was going to call his boss and proceeded to sit in his car for a few minutes and then left without any A/C repairs or apology. I called the number on the side of the van, and the "boss" said regarding the child in a home without an adult, as long as I was on the "premises" it gave his employee the right to enter the home. He said "you don't trust us enough to let us do our job?" HA! No, I don't trust anyone I don't know! I proceeded to tell him how I always accompany vendors in my home. Always. He stated he's been doing this for 18 years, and "go ahead, leave me a negative review, I don't care." Well, here it is. A direct reflection of my experience. I hope this review assists others. Additionally, this vendor was used because it was assigned to me through Fidelity National Home Warranty. Remember, you can request a different vendor, which is what I did immediately following this experience, and I recommend you do the same thing if they assign you to Grogan Mechanical. read more
