Matthew and Fernando were wonderful. On time, thorough, willing to explain what they were doing and taking my questions seriously. And fast! Cleaned all my air ducts, replaced a part on my furnace and cleaned my dryer vent. When something unexpected came up, they explained it and were able to fix it that day.…

Matt was excellent. Really appreciated the friendly and knowledgeable service. He took the time to explain what was going on with our furnace and water heaters, gave tips to make sure we could avoid problems for the future, and handled everything in a timely fashion. Will definitely be requesting him for any future service.

Robert and his colleague from Cabrillo did an excellent job with the installation of our new TRANE heater and air ducts. They went above and beyond the scope and made sure everything was more than perfect when they were done. Super organized, professional and great to work with. They may be a bit higher than others but worth everything we paid them

Cabrillo has been in business for over 60 years, and they are known for their quality work, but usually cost more than other gas furnace installers. I finally ended up choosing them despite a good quote from Atlas (my previous installer). I was impressed that the technician explained how the merits of the simpler…

Originally, I rated this company and service person five stars but when I learned that a repair that was necessary was a $250 repair instead of a $5000 new furnace my feelings about Cabrillo tanked! They had tried one repair and told me if it didn’t work but I’d need a new furnace and it didn’t work and they were…

Our landlord uses Cabrillo to service our furnace and water heater.

I had my gas furnace repaired by Cabrillo. Initially I thought of having it replaced by a heat pump, since the furnace was already 15 years old and the repair cost would be considerable. The repair man, however, convinced me that the furnace (a TRANE) could be repaired and should have another 10+ years of operation.…
