These guys are honest and trustworthy. I used another company for 9 years and when they were conducting my Spring maintenance the other day, they told me that the lines needed to be replaced (almost having to tear up my drywall). After a $5K quote for repair (and a $20K quote for a new system), I decided to get a 2nd opinion. I was referred to Mendez. Thank Goodness! It turns out there was nothing wrong with my unit!
The others had the system apart to run further tests and 'repair' it, so I've been without air conditioning for 2 days. Ricardo and Juan came out and were great. Poor guys had to spend the day putting my unit back together - Rick himself, stopped by to check it out. I can't say enough good things. Get with Mendez - run from the others!

This was my first time using Mendez for a routine maintenance on my A/C. Victor and his assistant Cade arrived within the time period told to me. They were knowledgeable about some issues that needed to be repaired and took time to explain what needed to be done outside of the routine maintenance. I can't speak to the value with a first visit but I am hoping that I have finally found an A/C company...having used two within 10 years...that is competent and is not taking advantage of me. I also would like to mention that their office staff is very efficient.

Have had the BEST consistent service from Mendez Air Conditioning & Heating for years. BEST includes being thorough, professional & polite. I live in a rural area & it's not easy finding dependable trustworthy people to come to my property. Victor is a star & always explains everything. Sam was with him today & he was very nice.

I have been away from the desert this summer and was alerted that my air conditioner wasn't working and broke down. I called Mendez Air at 8am and had they had a technician at my home in a couple of hours the very same day! The work required replacement/installation and the technician walked me through everything over the phone before I committed. This company is top notch and I will be utilizing them for all my air and heating needs moving forward. Customer service was excellent and everyone I have worked with from Mendez has been kind, courteous and do a great job. Very happy.

Two months ago I needed parts replaced for my AC unit. They came out next day and were punctual. Yesterday, my AC completely blew out and I immediately called them and let them know my concerns. They came out today and replaced the unit same day at a reasonable cost. They are extremely professional and helpful. I appreciate their services and will always recommend and do business with them.

They were prompt and did exactly what they promised. Victor explained what they would do and answered all my questions respectfully. Although my air conditioner is older it is definitely running better and putting out cooler air. I would definitely call them again or refer them to others.

The living room carpet in my ground floor unit was wet and I thought OH SH*T, one of the pipes has burst under the cement. When I spoke with a neighbor, she suggested it might be the A/C unit. I opened the air intake, removed the filter, and sure enough, every time the A/C came on, DRIP, DRIP, DRIP. She contacted Mendez the next morning and Victor came over to assess the situation. Turns out the drain line was blocked and just needed to be blown out.
About an hour or so later, he was done and my A/C was back up and running. So relieved... with highs in the low 100s, I can't imagine what I would have done without A/C. Thanks again & again, Victor!
