What do customers say?

German and his team deliver same-day replacements and quick repair responses, often pricing significantly below competitors for new units. Most customers praise their professionalism, cleanliness, and genuine care; the owner follows up after installation and communicates throughout the job.

Weak spots emerge in scheduling reliability and warranty-period support. One reviewer waited through multiple calls and texts to book service, experienced a no-show with delayed notification, and found the company unresponsive when issues arose within warranty. These friction points stand apart from the broader pattern of fast, fair service.

Reyna Heating and Air Conditioning

4.3(90)✓ Google-verified

Reyna delivers quick fixes and honest pricing to some customers, with standout technicians like Diego and Martin handling routine work smoothly. But the business stumbles on emergency response and accountability: a one-star complaint describes a smoke-smell AC failure with no same-day help and denied refunds, while others report missed appointments and poor follow-up. Installation problems and mismatches between promised and delivered equipment appear in multiple reviews.

D.W. Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Inc.

4.7(242)✓ Google-verified

Customers consistently encounter polite, skilled technicians who complete jobs quickly and explain the work clearly. Named staff like Chris, Colin, Sean, Steven, Nelson, and Esteban earn repeated praise for professionalism and respect. One apartment resident reported water damage from a rushed AC flush with no warning or site protection, and another complained of poor after-hours communication and aggressive driving by a company vehicle, which temper an otherwise strong record. The business has operated since 1988 and serves Phoenix and the Greater Phoenix Metro area. Emergency response times average around three hours, and technicians typically clean up after themselves. Most five-star reviews highlight attitude and efficiency equally, suggesting competence paired with customer care drives satisfaction here.
