I had an excellent experience with Max Sotelo as my assigned plumber and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. He came out promptly to fix a faulty gas valve, quickly diagnosed the issue, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was done efficiently and with great attention to safety, which gave me real peace of mind.

Diego Installed a HVAC surge protector and air purifier unit. We did some research on how important these items were and were satisfied with the workmanship. Diego took a lot of time to walk as through the process and shared all details including pictures on email.

Trio is great, I really appreciated working with them. But… I have to say, even more impressive is Richard my technician! Richard is incredibly knowledgeable, a great communicator and super friendly and easygoing. My garage is packed with stuff, but he was chill working his way back to my furnace and doing his inspection. Never making me feel bad. I liked Trio so much, I signed up for their annual service and we’re doing some much needed big replacements. Big thumbs up for Trio and Richard!!!
