Marin Heating & Air installed a mini-split A/C in our house in Fairfax. They responded to our call within minutes. The next day, they came by and provided a quote. I'm so glad we went with them. I highly recommend! Marin Heating and Air was definitely the best price quote for a mini-split AC and heater I've ever seen. Spencer and Trey were so friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all our questions and were up front about everything. The entire project was completed on time and right on budget. The AC works perfectly and is a life changer!

So speedy and friendly and good. We were getting ready to spend a few days without a gas connection for our new stove and Spencer showed up and took care of everything within a couple of hours. Can't recommend Marin Heating and Air enough. Awesome local resource for all gas and heating related home issues.
