My A/C completely died. They gave me my options, my timeliness and my total costs. They showed up when they said they would, they gave an appropriate time line, they kept to their price and they cleaned up after. What more could I ask for?!?
On time, good communicator, explained everything, did not try to oversell, honest, good worker
Very tentative and courteous technician. Kept me up-to-date of the issues and the cost associated with it. Thorough technician. I would recommend him to anybody.!
Angel did a great job and was very thoughtful and helpful in repairing our AC system. We appreciate it and will recommend to neighbors!
Chris did a great job and they were kind to fit us in quickly.
Franko went above and beyond and provided great customer service. Completed the work in a timely manner and was very professional. Reached out for service and heard back right away and was able to schedule an appointment for someone to come out in under 3 hours. Super pleased with the service and pricing , even signed up for the membership.
Christian did a great job on my air conditioner. He showed all parts and explained why they needed replaced. He gave me all options and was very professional. Also, Chris was friendly and efficient. I would refer him for future work.
Technician Chris Urzua did a great job with our hvac repair. He worked quickly and kept us updated with the entire process. Highly recommended.
Steve~Your company installed our FAU/CAC new & we have referred several of our neighbors to you. Most recently, you had your worker install a Capacitor for us in over 100+ degree heat & he even installed 2 filter vents for us an no charge. Your guys are the best. Thank you, Tim
Great service....service tech Steve W. Was awesome...explains everything well and fixed what I needed...back in service....highly recommend Steve's 5 star service...
Matt did an amazing job explanation everything carefully when he came by to examine our issue with our AC.
Christian was wonderful! He explained what was going on with our unit and made recommendations to help us get it fixed. Had everything done in about an hour. Decided to do an annual contract with them for maintenance. I definitely recommend you keep up with maintaining your unit or you’ll be caught up with blindsided issues like we were!
Very helpful in explaining the problems and what needed to be done. Answered any questions I had and made sure I understood what was wrong.
Very professional kind and honest.
Angel Perez was very friendly, knowledgeable and found the problem with my AC unit and fix it rapidly. Thank you for your help Angel 🙏🏽
It's hot... I had another capacitor go out on my A/C unit. Chris arrived on time. Did a great job. Their AI system had trouble connecting me to my existing account. Chris reached out to the office and they were able to figure it out. They got my account connected and came to find out my part was still under warranty so I only got stuck w the labor charge.
Andy and his team were friendly, efficient, timely and was neat. My home is over 100 years old, and I initially had concerns about replacing a unit that was installed over 30 years ago but they conquered all and I now have working air. Again thank you Andy and team you’re the best
This is the second time I’ve had the need to use Steve’s 5 Star Service for my a/c unit and like before, I am so very pleased. Their serviceman, Chris U, quickly diagnosed the problem that a clogged drain line was causing the thermostat to stop working. I really appreciated the professional way everything was…

He is definitely an asset to Steve’s Five Star Air Conditioning in the manner in which he serves as a representative of their company as he…
Angel explained our situation and what he recommended in a way that was easy to understand. I will highly recommend him!
Angel explained everything so that we could understand what he was recommending to fix our situation. He was courteous and thorough. We will continue working with him and highly recommend him!!
Chris came out to check A/C shutting off occasionally, and not getting as cold as normal. Found that refrigerant was very low. Recharged system, checked everything, it's working great now. He also checked my ducts to make sure they were good. Explained everything thoroughly. Thanks Chris.
Jose and Andy were great. Very professional and knowledgeable team.They explained the process and ensured they answered all my questions or concerns about the job. A huge plus was how fast they completed the job.
Matthew was terrific. Pleasant, knowledgeable and very efficient. I would definitely recommend Steve’s.
Angel was really kind and helpful. Great conversation and he explained the work and price well.
In a few words, timely, polite, patient, respectful. professional, personable, and great teamwork from everyone from start to finish. Did the work in good time even though there were unforeseen complications in installation. Angel came promptly and spent a great deal of time explaining the problems of our HVAC and…
We are so happy with the service we received today! Our AC unit was no longer cooling. Thank you to STEVEN for the honest, detailed explanation of what needed immediate attention vs. what could wait a little longer. Very considerate of our budget! The repair and installation of 2 new parts were done in less than an…
Chris has serviced our furnace and AC unit a few times now, and is always friendly and professional. He most recently fixed our broken AC on a hot day and made sure we were nice and cool. We appreciate his work so much!
Great job by Jose
Tech showed up on time. Chris did his thing and gave me review of A/C service and recommendations. Before he left, he made sure everything was cleaned up. In the 10+ years of using Steve’s 5 star service for various items, I have not had a complaint. Highly recommend
Fast and friendly with easy explanations and professional, accurate job. Definitely have them service my home again.
Our installers/work providers were Mario and Jesse. They were super polite, took good care to replace our a/c unit, do some hvac repairs and install a new thermostat. They worked hard, the system works now and they cleaned up spotlessly.
Contacted Steve’s five star service due to my heater stopped working and after having multiple techs come out from a different company , Steve’s sent out Christian Flores , he was able to figure out the problem right away Provided such a detailed diagnosis and was very understanding with my frustration My heat is…
Showed up on time and fixed the issue.
John our technician was very helpful and new exactly whe was doing will definitely recommend Steve’s 5 star service to other people
They did a great job doing a full repair on my system. Shout out to John Z.
Five stars isn't enough for the installation team- Mario, Jesse, Daniel. They worked very well together - it's hard work and a lot of knowledge is needed for all they did. I felt so good about them and how they treated the job, each other, and me.
Quickly diagnosed and got our ac back up and working, thank you so much! Great advice on maintenance. We signed up for the annual maintenance package and even saved about $60 on our repair!
Outstanding service as usual from Steve’s HVAC. High integrity, excellent follow-up communications and in my case, a quick diagnosis of my AC issue.
Matthew McCullough is one of those rare technicians who can explain to a customer the service needed and can write a comprehensive report for the customer. He explained every question about the problems we were having that caused the shutdown of our Hvac cooling and heating repair. He broke it down in to language I…
Chris was fantastic! He came right away to fix our AC! He explained everything and was able to fix it in one hour! Everything was amazing! Now the AC is back on just in time for the hot weather!
Recommended highly. Very efficient service and time response. Technicians are extremely polite and helpful. Have been very satisfied with Steve’s Five Star Service Inc. for several service calls over the years.
Been doing business with STEVE’S for more than 20 years. Referred their services to my friends and they all gave him 2 👍. Thanks to Jose for doing the extra work replacing my air condition filters.
Christian was friendly and quickly identified the problem with my air conditioner. I appreciated he acknowledged how concerned I was about having no air conditioning in 98 degree weather outside. He had the problem fixed in a very short time. I was very grateful for his kindness and his ability to resolve the problem so quickly.
Rich and Noel relocated my condenser. They ran the plumbing and electrical in the garage and cleaned up some of the mess made by the original installers. They were professional and courteous, as well as very respectful of my property. Superstars all the way. Thank you!
Excellent customer service skills. I recommended to a friend yesterday. Good prices and excellent work.
They have a repairman named Alex and he was given a difficult challenge with our wall mounted heating'/AC unit. He did not give up but pursued a fix for this unit. He was a very hard worker and could not have been nicer. When he fixed the unit he cleaned up the area so it was better than when he started the job.…
Alex was our technician; he diagnosed the issue right away and resolved it. He started the AC system and stayed to be sure it was functioning properly and tested temperature of air leaving vents. Very happy with their service.
I had an issue with my HVAC system where the unit was working, however was not producing cool air. I called Steve’s 5 ⭐️ and they were able to come out the next day. I had the pleasure of having Enrique Duran, and Christian whose last name I forgot to write down, review the issue. They were kind and extremely…
I got a notification from our Nest thermostat to check to make sure our AC was working properly after it noticed a 5 degree INCREASE in temperature while the AC was on. First I called Goettl to replace the capacitor and got a phone call trying to upsell me on a maintenance plan. Technician showed up and didn’t…
Fast, professional
Doug of Steve's Five Star Service did a fine job of diagnosing the problem and then executing the solution. He was clear on the fees and explained the problem in clear terms so that a layman, like I, could understand. Thank you, Doug!
I am so glad I chose this company based on their Google reviews here to Replace our whole A/C system. And by whole A/C I mean the whole Central Air with panels, vents everything. Blake was great from the very start. They are all very professional. No games & great quality products. Everything is in writing and done…
Great service with honesty! I recommend Steve's for your service needs.
The service technician was courteous and knowledgeable. He gave me a senior discount on my repair and offered to change the HVAC filters at no additional charge.
The technicians, John and Enrique, are skilled and well mannered. Took time to explain the technical issues, direct to the point with the cost, warranties, etc., before starting the job. Great job! Highly recommend👍👍
Air was not working during a very hot day. Repair man arrived as scheduled. Repair was completed quickly. The repair man was friendly and very efficient. The only negative part of the experience was the cost of the part that needed to be replaced.
I called them for service on A/C & Heater, check on zone damper make sure it was operating properly, had concerns about air purifier, plus had them install UV light. The technician Doug, very knowledgeable, they sent him out within 3 days, and finished up with new parts the next day. Steve's originally installed my system in 2014.
I was out of town and my elderly parents needed help with their ac. I called and they handled everything for me and called me with the issues. My parents were happy and stress free. Thank you Steve’s
They were amazing came the next day in the morning showed us what was wrong and fixed it right away
