Recommended Customer Reviews

I don't suggest them for Drain Cleaning or Snaking your plumbing lines unless they get 100+ foot snake. The technician I had, was a nice guy but only had 50 foot snake, and tried to sell us other expensive services that he said would help, like digging in our front yard to install another cleaner, $250 charge for a camera down the line, etc. We had called them because our regular plumbers were busy. I called another Drain Cleaning guy with 150 snake and they were able to clear our main sewage line for $75.

People if your looking for heating and air , look no more. This company is excellent in their job. They go above and beyond to find you the best deal . I called other prestigious companies , but none where as competitive as Carinis. Carlos helped us find the best deal for our home at an excellent price. Did I mention they have great financing plans. Highly recommend this company to anyone who's looking to get an excellent service for your home. Thank you Carini.

Service was excellent!!! The tech Miguel did the work fast and he was wearing his face mask and shoe covers and also Melissa was good at customer service when I talked with her I would definitely recommend the services to my friends

Carini did an excellent job replacing my old furnace and installing a duct system. They encountered some issues installing the ducts due to tight spaces, and the project took longer, but they worked through the issue and took the extra time to work out a system that was optimal and long term. I was really impressed with their integrity. Now I have good, clean heat. John Bodkin was very helpful in sales. Brian and Kevin did the work - they are good guys. Anthony helped manage the process. The women managing the office were kind. I rarely write reviews, but I felt obligated to write this for these people.

I hired Carini to do a brand new Central HVAC system.
Absolute Great work with everything they did , starting from initial discussion with Gabe to Installation team of Jio, Jesse and Anthony. Their workman ship was upto the mark of being delightful, after installation needs in securing the permits was timely and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Carini for any of your HVAC needs and have no problem in using them again for HVAC service or any other service as I am sure they will do the best in what they do and will not be a vendor who over promises and/or under delivers.

I hired them to install 3 mini splits three years ago and just recently had them swap out my old dinosaur furnace and a/c condenser. They're professional, tidy , and friendly, and do a great job.
When choosing such a large purchase the wonderful sales associate will come to your house and estimate. They go over a list of three options and you can go low, middle, or top of the line while they explain the benefits and differences of each one. It's nice to have some choices rather than some places that just say ""it will be $$$$$ and we can do it next month""
He gave me an installation choice of days and that worked out well, plus they handle all the permit filing then arrange for inspection on your schedule. Very happy with them.

I purchased a mini split system from John Bodkin and was very pleased with the service he provided with quoting and the price. I went and got quotes from various well known San Diego companies and Carini was $1000 cheaper on a 6K quote. The install team were polite and on time. And Anthony was especially helpful with a few specific questions I had.
We also had some other plumbing issues and Miquel was superb.We needed up needing gas lines replaced under the house and he stayed till 11pm getting the job done.
I now have a new plumber and AC company and am pleased to give them my business.

I'm sitting here waiting for a technician again. I was given a morning window of 8-12 and I called to confirm it earlier. I received a phone call saying they were running late and it should be longer than one hour. That was 2 hours ago. I just received another call at 12:36 pm saying that the technician is in his way and it should be another 15 minutes. The time is 1:04pm and I'm still waiting. BTW, this was an appointment they had to reschedule from earlier in the week because they didn't have my appointment in their books for Wednesday morning - an appointment I made a week earlier. I have phone logs. They have had so much turnovers that they are not the company I originally had relied on.

Sent message and they responded quickly for a sink repair. My family is here and wouldn't you know it, two sink issues. Called them and a tech arrived the same afternoon. Miguel was professional and efficient and made the repair. Just charged me the minimum of $45. Would hire them again.

I called Carini and said: I need someone to find a water leak under our driveway, and repair the leak. Can your company do those things? The woman answered, ""Yes we can."" When the Carini fellow came, he said ""We don't find leaks under driveways; you will have to call somebody else."" Then he looked around and said, ""Yes you do have a leak under your driveway. $45 please."" I paid.
