Boy Alvarez A/C is the greatest. Not only did they come out quickly (within same day) but they sent me technician Daniel Lode who I say is the best!!! He diagnosed my a/c problem within minutes and not only repaired problem on the spot but also performed a maintenance at my request. Our home ac unit had been down…

I’ve worked with Alvarez Plumbing & Air for multiple properties. Their techs are knowledgeable and professional; I enjoy working with their team each every time. From staff at the office (shout out Julie!) and the teams that arrive on-site. Five stars!

I’ve had the worst experience with other AC companies which left me so doubtful and frustrated. For years, I ended up using handy men for minor repairs. I recently bought a new unit and needed a second opinion on a small leak located in the bushing attached to the drain pipe. I called Alvarez Plumbing for a second…

Jared came to my home to replace a couple of faucets. He took care of that as well letting me know a couple more issues he found while doing the work he gave me options as how to correct the problem. Very reasonably priced, professional and I would highly recommend.

Being retired, I often looked for air conditioning companies who were the lowest priced amongst their competitors. I’ve learned now it’s more important to hire a company that knows what they’re doing and will not rip you off. The first company I had called had lied to me and said that I needed a new air-conditioning…

This review is for the technician who serviced us, not necessarily Alvarez. Sean is very honest with great expertise. He recommends services that are the most economical and practical solution.

I've been a fan of this company since the early/mid 90s when they were starting out. Over the years they have maintained their professionalism and high integrity as they've grown. It's refreshing to work with and depend on honest contractors.

Our AC went out midday on a weekend making our inside temps reach 80+ and Alvarez’s Julie picked up the phone and sent out Gio to help us. Within two hours Gio was at our home repairing our AC and explaining every detail as he went. Incredible work incredible company, we will be using only Alvarez for the future to come.

Thank you APAC! My mothers AC went out while she was in the hospital. I called another company out and their technician had decided to sell me a new unit instead of attempt to correct any issues. I got quoted 12k to replace because “it was beyond repair”. I called out APAC on the advice of an old school friend and…

We are so thankful to have found Alvarez! They always see us in a timely manner, and have very good quality work. Even when water heaters were on back order, they were able to locate one for us and get it installed quickly. JT is always looking out for us!

Anthony was the technician they sent out. He was polite and professional. I showed him the issues I was having and he knew what the problem was right away. He was in and out quickly. Anthony was very personable, as well. Would absolutely recommend him and Alvarez to anyone. Thank you, Anthony.
