Called these guys to come look at an AC unit that stopped working. From start to finish, the team at Rudy's was professional and genuine. They did not try and upsell me and explained things to me in a way I could understand. The tech, Albaro was friendly and efficient. He got right to work and explained things as needed to keep me updated. After he did his assessment of the unit and issue, he showed me the estimate to ask for confirmation to do the work and I did not feel like Rudy's was over-charging me. I hope I don't have to see an AC tech anytime soon, but if I do, I'm calling these guys again! read more

Rudy's is the way to go! My 26 year-old air conditioner condensation pan decided to leak and a portion of my ceiling fell in at 3 AM. I called Rudy's along with five others for bids. Rudy himself came out and was the first to say that one of my returns would have to be bigger to bring it to code. He was the 3rd bid, but the first to notice. He was also the only one to offer someone to look at the hole in my ceiling and get a bid on that . Their bid was substantially lower than four of the others, and they were able to install a new AC unit 1 day later, in one day through extreme heat. His crew worked constantly through the heat and my wife and I were able to sleep comfortably. Definitely will use them in the future. Give them a call you won't regret it. read more

Alex from Monarch Air came out to tell us why our thermostat quit working ( The thermostat had a lifetime warranty) Alex told me we needed a new thermostat, control board and capacitor and quoted us $2700.00 - What he was saying didn't make sense and there was a lot of pressure from Alex and his boss to order the parts immediately . Alex also mentioned that even after all of these repairs, he couldn't assure me that the AC would even work . I told them they were too high and I called Rudy's Air conditioning They came out the next morning, told me the only thing wrong was we needed a new thermostat and to have our AC unit cleaned- quoted us $450.00 and they had the parts on their truck- an hour later Rudys had our AC unit working perfectly- Shame on you Monarch- you are lying and gouging consumers and I hope you go out of business. Rudy's, you guys are amazing and I would recommend you to anyone read more

After calling monarch to check our system because the AC was not cooling the house they were quoting us outrageous prices and kept pushing us to redo our whole system for over 20,000 because they could not solve the issue. We got recommended to contact Rudy's and the lady on the phone was very nice and helpful and got us an appointment very quickly. I had an excellent experience with Rudy's heating & air conditioning. Albaro was our technician and he was very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly explained what needed to be done. He was able to tell us immediately what the issue was and helped us get the issue fixed. The repair was done efficiently and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend their services! Will definitely keep using this company for the future and recommending this company to anyone who asks. read more

All good things to report here. I made an appointment. They showed up ON TIME, and gave me a FREE estimate on the problems with my AC unit and the options to fix it. They sent me an email detailing everything. (There are other companies that charge you big $$ just to do the evaluation!) The technician took the time to explain the repair, and was very competent. We called later & made the appointment for them to come back. They did an amazing job fixing it, and we have had no trouble since. read more

Called Rudy's again this time to replace a furnace in our back house. The girl on the phone was rude and told me they no longer service Tehachapi. Apparently repeat customers are not of interest to Rudy. Their loss. read more

Rudy's AC was the lowest price in town for a direct replacement for an ancient roof top dualpack unit. I am cheap, and I have a lot of time on my hands, so I went through a number of bids with all the big names in town before signing with them. Their staff was friendly and responsive, and easy to communicate with. The County inspector did note a small issue on the post installation inspection but it was quickly rectified by the company the next day. I would use and recommend Rudy's AC to anyone who needs good service at a good price. read more

I was tired of my huge pg&e bills over the summer and realized it had been 2 years since we had bought our home and had the HVAC serviced. Sent out a quote request and Rudy's was not only the cheapest but also highly rated. Gave them a call and set everything up, guys came out to do the service and also showed me how dirty my coils were so I also had them cleaned. They were in and out pretty quickly. The employee did struggle with taking my credit card payment. The program he was trying to use just wasn't cooperating. Other than that smooth experience! read more

Highly recommend Rudy's!! My AC wasn't blowing cool air. Called at 8am, their answering line told me Rudy would call me back, and he was very responsive, with a call back in less than 5 minutes! And thankfully they had a same day appointment available! Rick and another gentleman came out and showed me it was an easy fix. it was my user error- a new brand of filters I had recently purchased were too strong and making my unit work too hard! They checked out everything else, recommended next maintenance in the spring, and out the door for just the diagnostic! I am absolutely THRILLED. Very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I'll be using them again! read more

Rudy Himself showed up as promised after 2p same day service. Thank goodness, because yikes 100+ degrees in Bakersfield all this week. My AC needed a dual capacitor replacement they also serviced my AC. The job was done very quickly. and I have a cool house and a happy family. :) Based on my passed experiences I would only suggest this man for the job, and at a great price, no one in town compares! read more

Honestly, just exceptional service from start to finish. When an AC unit goes out in Bakersfield in the middle of summer, it is beyond an emergency. And when that unit needs to be fully replaced, time is definitely of the essence as every minute spent melting in house that is hotter than the face of the sun is actual misery. Here are some things I loved about Rudy's: 1: I could communicate with him via Yelp! Rudy answered super quickly and was great to work with. 2: Yelp verified his license, so I didn't need to track that down! 3: We got several bids to replace the unit and Rudy's was cheaper than everybody else's. . . for a much higher quality unit than the others were proposing. 4: Rudy knew how terrible it is to not have AC at this time of year, so he got the job down extremely fast (literally the next day, once we agreed to his bid!). I can't say enough good things about Rudy's AC. Highly, HIGHLY suggest. read more

Rudy's service is efficient, reliable, and fairly priced. He was also very easy to communicate too. Glad we went to him! :)

Service was just ok. Didn't repair AC unit. Still broken but charged the service charge.

So if course AC goes out this time of year, absolutely dreaded calling repair guy. They basically got you at thet point.... Thinking the worst, Sam and Chris arrived on time. Did everything they could to discover issue, fuse on he roof...thats it! Provided a summer service also. Honest work is a rarity in these days...thank you Will definitely use again, and reccomend..... read more

Did not have a good experience with this company, hard upsell to an expensive new Hvac system. Won't repair a/c system just replace units. I definitely would never do any business with this company. I'm glad I went with another company, who knows what other repairs would be needed or up-sold. read more

Quick service! Came out and diagnosed the problem and got the job done same day. They are reliable and not looking to take advantage of you unlike other companies. Thank you Bart and Sam! read more

Techs were quick and diagnosed the problem. The issue I have here is I was told about the fee to inspect which I understood but the techs went ahead and performed the job without my consent. I only say this because for a dual capacitor replacement came out to be 400$. I would have liked for the techs to let me know how much it would have been and if I still wanted to go ahead with the job, instead they went ahead and did it. Maybe I could have shopped around more, I would have take the inspection fee loss. read more

Thank you Rudy for helping me with my AC unit!!! I was not expecting this to come out as bad as it did, but you made it a smooth experience. Keep up the great work! read more

Prompt return of my call. However, I didn't hire Rudy's as they asked for $85/unit just to diagnose, no repairs included. We have 3 air-conditioning units, so $255 just to diagnose. They then offered 5% off. So, $242.50 just to diagnose with no repairs....Way, way, way too steep...rip off zone actually Seems like I'm not the only one. Please read the negative reviews. Pretty much the same complaint. This is a repeated pattern of behavior We went with someone else...best decision ever read more

Great response! Great prices and good work! I really appreciate all the hard work and how professional everyone is! Even with how difficult things are right now with labor and material shortages you still came through and did a great job! Thank you! read more

Highly recommend! Had Rudy out to check my ac units bcuz my electric bill was through the roof and house was hot. Told Rudy to please fix or replace both units. Rudy checked them and reported that the units were fine just needed Freon and servicing. He slap stated the fan was set too low do he turned up fan motor. Checked duct work and added 2.5 lbs Freon. Only charged $460,00 for service and supplies. Immediately PGE KW's used in half. Could have sold me new units but only sold me what I needed. Would use again in a heartbeat. Thanks Rudy read more

"Fast, friendly, and reasonably priced! I was relieved they could come quickly, especially with Bakersfield's scorching heat. The technicians were knowledgeable and approachable, fixing the issue efficiently. Highly recommended for top-notch service!" read more

Rudy's air team did an amazing work for my family. It was done faster than I anticipated. The process was just less than 2 hours and we are ready for the summer now. I can turn on my AC right from my cell phone and I don't need to get up from my comfort zone. Thank you Rudy for the great honest service. read more

I don't like to say negative things about a company. But look, I had a great experience with the workers. Nice guys. However, they overcharged me by so much I cannot believe it. I needed a new gas valve. I paid 600$ for the service. They where here for an hour. I looked it up, the part retails for 105.70 at supply warehouse. That would mean they charged me 494.30 more than the part itself. They looked over my equipment, and said it was all fine. But they didn't do the best job because my limit switch failed two weeks later and I was left with no heat for weeks. I finally decided to watch some YouTube videos and found the failed limit switch within an hour. It costs 25$ and I'm doing it myself this time. read more

This installation was done professionally and a lot of work went into it... Rudy thank you and your team I really appreciate doing business with your and I'm very happy with my new Rheem unit... read more

See all

Still waiting on a return call from 2 weeks ago. I initially contacted Rudy's because of the reviews and positive words.

Rudys is always on time with great service. We've been using them for our routine services for years. If there ever were repairs needed, they charge us reasonably. They've even told us we have a good unit that should last us a long time. I trust they would never charge us for unnecessary charges/repairs. read more

My grandma was in such need of help in the early morning when her heater went out! I called several places and Rudy's Heating was the only one so helpful! Sam came within 45 minutes of me calling and was amazing! Thank You guys so much!! read more

great service !! in heat wave 103 degrees , saved 2 senior citizens. fast, reliable, had the parts with them when arrived,communication was great read more

When a different air conditioning company dropped the ball and left us with a broken AC for 4 days, I found Rudy's on Yelp. They absolutely saved the day. They were in my home within the hour and installed a new unit for us the next morning. I'm very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Rudy and his team were great!! They installed a new AC unit on my home. He gave me good pricing and excellent service. He came out to my property several times. He also made sure everything was completed quickly and with the proper permits. The AC is running great. Thanks to Rudy and his time. read more

Texted them about 4pm because the motor went out on the ac. Got an immediate response from Rudys and several others. Rudy's was the only one willing to come out today without charging emergency service fee. Also received a 10% discount for getting repairs done through them. Reasonable price and always professional. This is the 2nd time I've had them out and have had great experiences with techs each time. Will be using them for ac services from here on out. Thanks Rudy! read more

They seemed offended that I was having a heating emergency and needed an emergency appointment. Told me it was $225 just to have the tech drive to my house. Then they didn't call me back to even try to schedule an appointment. Won't be calling them back read more

Living in Bakersfield makes AC mandatory. My AC went out Tuesday night. Ruby's Air was able to get someone out Thursday morning. Sam and Chris were dispatched out. They were awesome. They showed up early and ready to work. They were quick and tidy. They left no leaf unturned, they even cleaned the unit. Thanks Sam and Chris My air is blowing cold!!! read more

Rudy's AC really impressed me with their communication. They messaged me confirming my appointments and messaged me when they were on their way. They are very polite and professional, and their prices are lower than other company's prices. Also, they gave me a senior citizen discount on the motor replacement. The secretary actually called me and asked me if I was a senior so that she could give me this deal! Very happy! read more

Showed up on time ready to go was thorough provided us with a great price for the job

Rudy is an excellent communicator, very prompt to reply back even on the weekends. Reliable, honest and very personable. He had a great attitude and did great explain my options. His quote was fair and was not charged extra once he was done. He speaks very good English and Spanish, and his assistant was very respectful of my home, did a great job cleaning once done with my service. I definitely recommend Rudy and I will most definitely use him with all my future AC/Heater services. Thank you Rudy read more
