The technician showed up and started diagnosing my air conditioner problem. Shortly after the owner of the company came by because I also wanted a quote for a potential new HVAC unit as mine is 15 years old. They solved my problem and were very professional to work with. Because of the age of my HVAC unit I decided to replace it with a heat pump. The team was very friendly and professional and respectful to me and my home.

I’ve trusted Cencal Mechanical for the past 10 years and they’ve consistently delivered. Their diagnoses are accurate, repairs are quick and efficient, and their maintenance work is reliable. It’s hard to find that level of consistency. I highly recommend.

We replaced a 30 year old gas HVAC system with a Bosch Heat Pump system with Cencal several years ago. They have provided consistent maintenance for this system at a good value. Well Done!!

Ethan serviced both my AC and furnace. Very professional, explained everything clearly and made sure everything was running efficiently before he left. Highly recommend!

We contracted Cencal to install a new HVAC system over the summer based on their strong reputation on Yelp. They went above and beyond exceeding my expectations on everything from planning, to implementation to customer service. This is probably one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. You can be confident in choosing them over competitors for your HVAC needs. I will be using them again for any future HVAC needs.

We needed to replace our old 20+ year HVAC system before it quit working which probably would have been in the summer when HVAC companies are the busiest. so I decided to do it winter 2021. Did my due diligence and had three companies come out, present their bids and recommended equipment. Most of the companies were in line with their bids and no one underbid their competitors. All were less than $300 apart. I have 18+ years real estate and property management experience so I have dealt with lots of trades over the years. I chose CenCal because I liked their presentation, the length of time they had been in business and although I didn't know it at the time I chose them, I did know the owner through shared past acquaintances. Knowing our shared acquaintances and their background helped firm up my decision to go with CenCal. From the time CenCal techs started the job until the time they finished the installation, our experience was superior to any other firm I have ever dealt with in the past. They were always on time and thorough with the information they provided. Found we had a leak in our ducts under the house so also had those replaced so all equipment was new out the gate. In addition to the professionalism of the installers, sales rep and quality follow up after the job was completed, CenCal's office staff is some of the best I have ever dealt with in my career. These ladies should give classes to other company's staff people.... they are that good!

Everything was taken care of and we are happy campers. We have a maintenance contract and worth every penny. Don't have a favorite Technician, cause they're all good and my dog Nova liked them all.

Cencal did an awesome job! Their technicians are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they responded immediately when I had an issue. I have now joined their Gold Star family because I will use them on a regular basis and they will be available to me at all times when I need them. I have to say that their office staff is exceptional! They are so friendly and easy to work with! I would highly recommend Cencal to anyone looking for work on their furnace/air-conditioning units!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding company we’ve worked with for years. Early on we worked with Ignacio and Hector. Lately it’s been Brandon. They are always respectful of me, my older dog and my home. They are extremely responsive to last minute problems and always professional. Highly recommend without hesitation.

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.

    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
