The crew was on time and professional. They were very respectful of the property and made an extra effort to do neat work. They got my new mini-split connected and working properly. The quality of the work was excellent. Hi highly recommend Central Valley Air.

★★★★★Sarah Forbus2 months agovia Google

Clay was amazing!! Came same day, and got the AC back up and running. Great pricing, Especially for same day service, on a weekend at that. Will definitely be using again and will recommend him anytime I see someone else having issues.

★★★★★Randy Coatsa month agovia Google

Very professional approach to my issues and made repairs to my satisfaction. They not only fixed what I orginally called them for but drew my attention on an item that wasn't safe. i had them fix it while they were here. Great crew.
