What Our Clients Have To Say
We can't be happier. Our air condition stopped working two days ago when the temperature was 107 degrees. It's always nerve wracking when you're trying to find a reputable company and we have been stung before. We were imagining all sorts of high-cost estimates and were PLEASANTLY surprised and pleased with our very reasonable bill. Their repairman, Nate, was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Repairs were accomplished very quickly and competently. We highly recommend this company.

Have used Castillo several times over the years, always with exceptional results. This time AC was running but not cooling. Nate was able to come earlier that scheduled, did a thorough examination, presented the possible options and worked for several hours to try and rectify the problem. We will definitely continue to use Castillo Heating and Air.

It’s been about 15 months since I had my A/C system installed by Castillo Heating & A/C and just wanted to report back that everything works wonderfully just as advertised. They installed 3 zones at my home with one of the zones designated for the Master Bedroom which was very important for me since I have MS which makes me sensitive to heat and I tend to spend most of my time there its great to be able to set the temperature a little lower in this room than the rest of the house. The A/C system that was installed is very energy efficient and the installation process starting from the initial quote to the completion of the installation went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Castillo Air and Heating did a fantastic job! From Art coming out and giving us a great estimate and working with our schedule to Ernesto completing the job, the process was smooth and fast! Ernesto installed the system in one day so we did not have to go without a/c in 100 degree weather! We are so pleased with all the work done!

The work is part of a service plan when Castillo Heating installed a new Heat Pump last October 2020.The install went well, on time and clean. Assessment, options and pricing with Art were stress free. Installation crew -Ernesto, Tony and Nate were excellent, knows what they were doing and courteous.Summer is coming so the maintenance/check up came at the right time. Nate was ahead of schedule, happy and courteous- Opened up attic access and inspected horizontal mount modular blower- Changed out filter for customer (customer provided)- Took diagnostics of the unit and stated System is operating as designedMy experience with Art, the office staff, and the install/maintenance personnel is excellent.

I was referred to Art Castillo by my neighbor to replace an old furnace and A/C unit with a new heat pump. From the initial meeting with Art, to the service and responsiveness of the installers and the office staff, the process went smoothly and professionally. My new unit works perfectly and saves me money in energy costs. I could not be happier with my choice of Castillo Heating & Air.

Art, Tony, Ernesto, Nate, Teresa, and Zaira did an excellent job addressing all my needs, my questions, scheduling, covid safety, and performed what I would consider an outstanding installation of the Mitsubishi heat-pump. They treated our home with care, cleaned up the worksite, and were pleasant to work with and did so at a reasonable cost.I am very happy that I choose your company and will refer my friends, neighbors and family to you for support.Thanks again!!

Ernesto & his team did an immaculate job replacing the AC compressor with a new Trane unit. His team also upgraded the existing coil unit in the HVAC to match the new AC unit. They did a fantastic job of replacing/installing new vents throughout the house & creating a new one into the existing duct work in one of the rooms. Castillo employees communicated efficiently & effectively via phone & email correspondencein delineating the proposal, verbally during installation process throughout the day & completion of work performed to customer satisfaction. Just awaiting for the final inspection to make it official with the county permit.

I discovered Castillo HVAC back in the day when I didn't schedule routine maintenance, the coolant escaped, and I couldn't figure out why the A/C wasn't A/C'ing. They responded promptly and gave me the data about codes changing in the near future (in HVAC days) with the choice to keep the coolant type I had which would probably hold as long as I live or upgrade to meet new standards in case the unit needed additional coolant after 2020 when it would no longer be available. I upgraded to 2020 standards although it was only 2017 or so and have scheduled routine maintenance ever since. I added a 3-filter system and have appreciated the filtered air with the multiple fires in So Cal. More than once I've noticed nothing in the air until I opened my garage door to go biking. Castillo HVAC hires competent technicians who are socially perfect for interacting with customers - not an easy combination to find. I'm so glad I called them when I was sweltering in my house wondering what happened!

Arturo is a hard working young man who stayed with the problem until it was fixed. The repair was made over a couple days and Arturo kept us informed throughout the process. Castillo Heating has a very streamlined communications system keeping us informed about times, service required and cost! Could not ask for a harder working service tech or more professional company.

Having many years of experience as a home builder I can attest to the fact that having a contractor that designs, sizes and installs the system properly is more important than shopping the name brand stamped on the side of the equipment. With Art and his team, you can rest assured that you will be getting all the above with the added bonus of some of the best equipment on the market, all at a very fair price. When it came time for a new install at my own home, I only needed to make one phone call.

Art was on time everyday. His crew was professional and courteous. Art was never in a rush, and took the time to answer all the questions I had. In the end I got the mini split system I was looking for at a price better than any other estimate I received. Truly appreciate the service, professionalism and kindness delivered.

The initial visit with the company's owner was very pleasant. Art explained all the possible systems we could purchase, as well as what the benefits were for each type of HVAC system. Art also made sure we were clear about the financing programs that were available. All in all, working with Castillo HVAC was a very satisfactory solution to our heating/air conditioning problems. Office staff was also very helpful.All three crew members worked diligently to complete the installation in timely, professional manner over two days. The workers cleaned up the work area thoroughly when they were finished. We were given complete directions on how to use the new smart thermostat. The tech was very patient with us.Thank you very much Castillo HVAC!Follow-up visits have been timely and helpful. We received assistance with the digital thermostats and with the SCE summer program monitor installation. Thanks again!

Having your AC go out in summer is stressful. We were fortunate to get Arturo Jr. from Castillo Heating and Air to help us. He was out same day and was able to get our system repaired. Price was fair and he was excellent at communicating throughout the process. I would recommend them and would definitely use them again.

We live in the mountains above Palm Desert where the temperature in the summer can hit 100 degrees and yet fall to 20 in the winter.We had lived in our home for 15 years without quite being able to justify installing A/C since our Swamp Cooler coped reasonably well apart from about a month a year and we were out of the house during the days.And then Covid hit and we were working from home and our Swamp Cooler simply couldn't do enough to make the 100 degree temperature during the day livable.So, we asked Castillo Heating & Air Conditioning for some suggestions and a quote.They proposed a Ductless three-way split system which would save us money on Propane during the winter months as well as cooling the house during the summer.It took them two days to install it but they were quiet enough that we could work throughout with a minimum of disruption.The ductless mini-split was amazing and made the temperature in the house much cooler. Indeed, my teenage daughter's room is like a morgue because she likes it really cool and keeps the door closed (did I mention "teenage").However, the unit in the Master Bedroom was not performing as well as we would have liked. It was still acceptable to me, but my wife wasn't satisfied (I am not criticising her; she was right - I'm simply less aware of my environment than she is and didn't notice that it was closer to 80 than to the 75 it was set to). We called Castillo two times to look at it.The first time, there was a genuine issue. One of the two fuses in the outside unit had blown and so it was running on half power. This was better than not running at all, I suppose, but the fact that it was running meant that we didn't have any reason to check the fuses. They replaced the fuse and assured us that it was very rare for them to blow like that and it was probably just a bad fuse in the first place. In the 6 weeks since then, the fuses have been fine despite a few power outages due to our Utility.My wife was still unhappy and called Castillo's again. The chap that came examined everything again and was helpful and polite. Finally, he noticed that the vent in the Master Bedroom for the Swamp Cooler was still open and was about 4 foot above the ductless unit in that room. By checking with his thermometer, he found that the ductless unit was effectively sucking the air from outside through that vent. This was made worse by the fact that the swamp cooler is sort of above the outside condenser and so that air was extra warm.He closed and covered that vent (and covered the other vents as well which were doubtless leaking air despite being closed) and, sure enough, it made a HUGE difference - Instead of being 78 degrees in the Master Bedroom, it was 68 last night ! (We have now set it to 75 and it's doing great.)Thank you Castillo's for your hard work, your patience and your kindness when you must have been thinking that we were complete pains.Very Highly Recommended.

Today was the first of two days of our install. We found Art, the owner, to be very professional, personable and honest. His team (Ernesto, Tony and Nate) came fully prepared, were extremely considerate in their care of our home as they worked to install our unit and ductwork. The level of customer service and attention was evident from the moment they arrived. We were extremely impressed with how clean they left everything before they left even though they knew they would be back in the morning and woud have re-do preparing the house for additional foot traffic to complete the install. We are looking forward to the completion of the work tomorrow.
