Recommended Customer Reviews

Called about service on my Goodman and setup time and appt after asking if they serviced Julian. She gave me the date and then said oh Julian. We I don't think we service there. I thought you said Jamul. Not helpful.

We needed a new HVAC system and had 5 companies give a proposal. We chose Carini for several reasons. Their sales consultant used to be an installer-he was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and what didn't. He was responsive to our questions and did not bad mouth his competition. The installation techs were professional and courteous and kept a messy job clean! The first day I came home from work, I thought they didn't come because the house didn't have one piece of insulation on the ground and they had demo'd the entire attic heater and 11 runs that day. Finally their price was transparent and fair. They didn't start at 50% more than the market and require us to negotiate down from there. We're very happy with the units, workmanship and company.

It really irritates me when companies advertise special offers then pull the bait and switch. Carini is running ads all over local TV stations with an offer to clear any drain for $35 dollars. The ad shows a technician with an industrial laptop open displaying an image of a cleared drain from a drain / pipe camera in an outdoor patio area.
Guess what? Outdoor drains are $79. To me, this is very misleading. If the special covers indoor drains for $35, then they should have done the commercial in a bathroom or kitchen.
In smaller print it does state Some Restrictions Apply but I think this is misleading.

Amazing company! Had a issue with my thermostat, I blew a fuse trying to install a Nest and called them hoping for a same day appointment and boom! Wish granted. Joe the tech was awesome! Super informative and overall gave us the comfort and peace of mind we needed. Awesome company with Professional technicians that are know the quintessential company for any and all plumbing, heating and cooling need of this family. Wish I could give them 7 stars. I mean the quickest home fix I have ever had. Amazing service and meticulous work done by Joe today. Thankful to have found this company online.

We used Carini to repair a split air conditioning unit. The came out and said they'd fixed it but the heating never moved up more than a few degrees as did the air-conditioning. They were inconsistent in the arrival to service it again, which caused the tenant to wait for over 6 hours and told it would be even later. We decided to try a different company. They came out and realized that Carini had installed the circuit bracket and had not adjusted it properly. It cost us another $1000 for the services that Carini should have completed when the did the installation. We will never use them again.

Had to downgrade my earlier 5 star review. Carini obtained the city installation permit for our system, however, a city inspector failed the install. That was some weeks ago. Have written to Mitsubishi to see if our 12 year warranty covers repairs so the system will pass a re-inspection.

This is the third time I have called Carini and I will continue to use them for everything. I had 2 clogged kitchen sinks and 2 clogged dishwashers. Today after I spoke to Leo over the phone he had Eduardo and Leo Jr come out, they put on booties when they came in and were very professional, careful, nice, polite, and they explained everything as they were working and asked me great questions. They gave me the quote up front and it ended up being exactly what they quoted me and they fixed my issues. No more clogged anything. I highly recommend them. Five star!

I'm so glad I used Carini for my forced air furnace annual maintenance! Ross and the office crew were so kind and professional when I called to schedule service. They were able to come over within a week. The technician, Jesse, was terrific: on time, polite, and efficient service with no ""upsell"" and even put on booties to protect my wood floor. Ross called to follow up and be sure I was happy with the service (I was!) I feel like I finally found the perfect company for all heating, air and plumbing needs. I will definitely use Carini again.

I had a great customer experience with Korey Howell who installed 4 condensation pumps below each of my mini split head units. The condensation pumps that initially came with the system were loud and ran the risk of leaking in the attic. Korey went out of his way to research and find a solution. I highly recommend Carini and Korey as a technician.

We used Carini to completely replace our sewer pipes. We had been having roots in the pipes where someone would have to come out every few months to ream them out, so we decided to replace the pipes, and hope we don't have to see anyone out here for a while! Leo and crew did a very conscientious job on a difficult site (down a steep canyon), cleaned up each day and replaced plants and soil as they could. We got several estimates for the work, and Carini offered us the clearest strategy to correct our issues with the best price so we went with them. There is no noticeable difference yet of course; the proof will be in the pudding, as it remains to be seen how long we will be root-free, but we are hopeful, and thought they did a good, thorough job.
