Air Conditioning & Heating Services

We have a 100 year old craftsman that has no heating or cooling. My husband and I decided to bite the bullet and finally install a system with the impending El Niño. We got 3 quotes and Mario was by far the best. Blew the competition out of the water on price. He thoroughly explained our options and answered our questions and concerns. He even told us to take our time on a decision because he didn’t want us to make a rash decision. Can you believe it? A contractor who isn’t going to rush you or pressure you? Unheard of by today’s standard. It took 2 days to install the system. Mario showed up early with his co-​worker, Carlos. Both were pleasant, tidy and very accommodating. My husband and I are very happy with the work. We highly recommend this company.

I cannot stress how great Mario is. Our AC broke on the hottest day of the year. After reading all the great Unilocal reviews, I called and left a message for Mario. Within 10 minutes, he called me back and said although he was very busy, he was going to be in the area and would do his best to fit us in. He gave me an approximate time that he would try to stop by and lo and behold! He came precisely on time. He was incredibly polite and professional, and took the time to very patiently explain exactly what was wrong, what he was doing to fix it, and what we could do in the future to prevent/​delay more expensive issues. If you are on the eastside and need your AC fixed, I highly highly HIGHLY recommend Mario.

I found this company through Unilocal.Our AC stopped working in the middle of the night. We’ve been having trouble with it, and every person our insurance sent out seemed to make it worse. I was so sick and tired of dealing with the shitty companies the insurance used, so I decided to go to Unilocal to find someone reliable and who could get the job done. All of the reviews for this company are dead on. MARIO seriously saved the day! I called him first thing in the morning and he was here within an hour. He is extremely knowledgable and explained to us exactly what was going on. Today is supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year and he fixed our AC unit. It’s even working better than before we were having all of the problems. Not only that, but he gave us tips as to how to maintenance it ourselves so we don’t continue running into problems. I can’t recommend Marios service enough!

Mario is super friendly, really knowledgeable and great at explaining the problem. He walks you through exactly what’s going on and your options to fix it. My AC stopped working one night and I called him the next morning and left a message. He called me back within the hour and said he had a busy day but he still fit me in that afternoon. He came over and diagnosed the problem and offered up solutions for a longterm fix (the more expensive and time consuming option) and a short term fix (less costly, more immediate). We opted for the short term fix — given that we are in a heatwave. I have never met anyone in this field of work who doesn’t try to push the more expensive and time consuming option on you. Same day as I called, we had our AC up and running again. I am grateful for the job well done by Mario and his extremely friendly and ethical business practice.

My AC stopped blowing cold air in the middle of a heat wave and after reading all other Unilocal reviews, I decided to call Mario. Long story short, he really is a solid 5 stars. He is very sharp, professional, and thorough. He showed up early and walked me through my entire system, end to end. He also gave me some excellent tips for better performance, and even spotted potential problem areas for the future. Even more, he did a follow up call later on to check in on the AC. He is worth every penny!

Mario was great. He came within an hour, fixed our A/​C problem very quickly, and undid some bad advice given from a past repair group (who were also very nice and a little cheaper). They suggested covering our outside fan, which apparently was causing overheating. He was nice, pleasant and easy to deal with and taught us how to do upkeep on on A/​C unit to keep it in good condition like cleaning the outside filter and replacing the inside filter. It’d be great if he was a little cheaper, but we are overall satisfied with the service.

Our A/​C at the house had stopped blowing out cold air in the middle of summer when we decided to give Mario a call. He was able to come out within 30 minutes of us calling and had everything fixed and running again before lunch. Mario explained exactly what went wrong, what he did to fix it, and how to prevent it from recurring, and also outlined some low-​cost, do-​it-​yourself steps we could take to save some money on future maintenance/​servicing.
All in all, Mario was professional, efficient, and friendly, and the entire experience went so much more quickly and painlessly than I had been bracing for when the A/​C first stopped working. I would definitely give Mario another call if we run into anymore problems.

I am not a customer and yet I have received excellent service from Mario! So I had been quoted $ 300 to replace what the previous company had referred to as «refrigeration line insulation». I found Mario’s number through Unilocal and decided to call him and see if I could get a quote from him. He was extremely honest in telling me that he unfortunately (bummer!) did not cater my area. Instead of just hanging up, he proceeded in finding out what the problem was. To my delight, he figured out that all that was needed was to replace the foam insulation on the copper wire, which costs about $ 20 and could be done on my own. He saved me $ 280 and more importantly showed me that there are still some honest people in this business (which are getting harder to find by the day!)
Thanks a lot Mario, I am truly grateful for your help!

I called Mario with questions and he called me right back. Even though he does not service my area, he took his time with me and explained exactly what I needed to know. He empowered me to continue my research. Great guy!

I needed to repair/​replace a furnace and contacted Mario, based on other Unilocal reviews that I read. He explained to me that I could repair the old furnace but that I would have to contact someone who worked with Lennox furnaces. He did not try to hard sell me a new furnace. We decided to replace the furnace and contracted with Mario. His follow through was exceptional and service was impeccable. He took the time to explain to me the various aspects of the furnace and explained that I could relace filters by unscrewing the cover or by having a filter tray installed. Again, he did not try to hard sell the air filter tray but we elected to have it installed for convenience. He was extremely professional throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his services.

I wish all businesses ran like this one. Mario fixed a simple problem and didn’t turn it into a massive job. He made it clear how I could fix it myself if it happened again. He also showed me how to service my AC for free and gave me advice on my unit and explained the layout of my AC in the house, giving me a workaround for a another problem that can’t be fixed easily because of the construction of the house. A very honest trustworthy guy. Would use this company again in a heartbeat. Top notch.

Mario was terrific! He was so quick and clean and was very thorough about explaining our options. Really terrific price, too!

I decided to have my heating and AC replaced in December. Of the four bids I received, Mario’s was the best. Of the four people that came to bid the job, I liked Mario the best. In a manner I could understand he explained the mechanics of AC, what the process and schedule would entail and how the the unit size was determined. His crew started on time and finished early. They worked clean and left my house in excellent condition.
So I finally had need to run my AC this week. It was AWESOME!!! I would use these guys again and have recomended them to friend’s and family with no reservations.
(Mario looks 22 years old. He is not and has over 10 years in the business)

Mario is awesome! We thought we were going to have to replace our super old heating and central air unit but Mario was super honest and said if we replaced just one of the motors it would last us a few years more. He called around and found us the exact motor we needed, which was remarkable considering the age of the unit. He saved us 1000s and had the job done in less than thirty minutes! Bravo!!!

Mario installed a mini ductless air conditioner in my living room and all I can say is Thank You! He is very knowledgeable and explains the installation process clearly. He was on time for our appointments (very rare). With temperatures hitting 100 degrees he truly saved me. Installation was only 2 hours and the pricing was reasonable. He installs it himself with another guy. Totally recommend him!

Mario is the best! Extremely knowledgeable and professional. He explains exactly what the problem is and what can be done in layman’s terms. In our case, we needed referral for a much larger service and he hooked us up with someone he knew! He also charged us very reasonably compared to others we have hired. Overall solid guy.

Great Job, superfast, super knowledgeable and really all around great Job.
We had ductwork already but got a complete new units installed. He advised me on what to get and was very honest about the companies he works with. Mario did a consult and a week later we had everything installed– Great work!

Mario is awesome! He is very thorough, provides a breakdown of the issue (s) and a solution, and even showed me how to clean the AC unit on a yearly basis. We lucked out with Mario when our AC broke down as it’s been so hot and the temps continued to soar. I highly recommend reaching out to Mario if there is any issues with your AC. He even contacted me later in the day to follow-​up on how the AC was running. Thank you Mario!

Mario is the man! Very honest work from this man and his team. Called on a Tuesday morning and he showed up 20 mins later, checked out my unit and explained all of my options. Returned the next day ON TIME and worked on the problem. He was there for a while to make sure everything was working and even explained my next move if it was to break down again.
He is not one of those specialist who are just interested in taking your money for the first and last time, he makes sure that you’re satisfied. I for sure will use these guys for future A/​C & heat problems.
THANKS AGAIN MARIO.

Mario saved us! Our air conditioning went out one night. I called the next morning at 7:15am, and got a call back within 10 minutes. Mario was at my house by 8:30, and had the problem diagnosed and fixed in under an hour. He explained everything that needed to be fixed so that I understood. He was professional, punctual, polite, and very courteous. Mario was a life saver!
