Mind you our HVAC system is over 20 years old and after one company came out to look at the cause of the leak, their immediate response..."got to buy a new system this may be difficult to repair." That other company quoted me $23,000 for a new system. And then I thought to myself...there's no way. Called McKenney's out so they could provide me with an estimate for a new system. Rafael asks me why I thought I needed a new system. So I told him my story. He then stops me and says..."let me go up to the attic and take a look what is going on before we price a new system out." He clears out the drain lines from the system. Powers it up...no leak. The system has been running just fine since Tuesday! Rafael saved us thousands of dollars by simply diagnosing the problem in a matter of 30 mins. This a testimony of working with an honest and hard working company willing to go that extra mile for their customers. Please give McKenney's a chance to help you out with your HVAC needs!

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.

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.

I have been a customer of Hawley Air Conditioning & Heating for many years, and I cannot recommend…read moreMr. Hawley and his team highly enough. They are much more than HVAC technicians. They approach their work like true engineers, with an incredible depth of knowledge and attention to detail. Just as importantly, they have always been exceedingly honest, straightforward, and fair with me. About ten years ago, Mr. Hawley replaced the air conditioning system at our condo and did a fantastic job. This summer, the roughly 30-year-old system at our current house finally gave out. Despite it being the middle of summer, Mr. Hawley squeezed us into the schedule in less than a week and gave us a very good deal on a new Daikin heat pump system. He spent a great deal of time explaining the differences between a heat pump and a traditional HVAC system, answering my questions, and helping me understand why it made sense for our house. I really appreciated being educated rather than simply sold a piece of equipment. Hawley is also one of the companies in Bakersfield with the expertise to install and properly configure these kinds of heat pump systems. The team did a fantastic job completely retrofitting our system, and the difference inside the house is remarkable. The temperature is much more consistent and comfortable, the system is highly efficient, and ours also includes an ionizing air-cleaning system that helps remove particles from the air. It is rare to find a company that combines this level of technical expertise with genuine integrity and customer service. Hawley Air Conditioning & Heating has earned my trust over many years, and they will continue to be the first people I call for any HVAC needs in the future. Highly recommended.

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.
