“I contacted three companies to evaluate my air conditioning system, and all of them told me the unit was old, unusable, and needed full replacement at an estimated cost of $14,000–$18,000. That expense was simply too much for me. I remembered a heating company that had visited about seven years ago and whose associate had been fair and convincing. After checking my Visa statements, I found their name: Hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Co. I contacted them and scheduled an appointment. Their Senior Comfort Advisor, Mr. Galen Squyres, arrived promptly and conducted a careful inspection of the system. He then asked to check the electrical outlet and discovered that the two panels supplying power to the unit were turned off. That was the real issue. I was deeply gratified by his honesty and integrity. He could easily have sold me an expensive new unit, but instead he acted with true professional values. He charged only for the service call and advised me to plan for a replacement within a few years. I cannot express enough appreciation for his kindness, professionalism, and ethical standards. Mr. Squyres is an excellent human being who works far above and beyond what one expects. Congratulations to Hometown Heating & Air Conditioning for having such outstanding employees.”

“The Cabrillo team made it incredibly easy to get the hot water heater in our building replaced. We consulted with multiple providers but Cabrillo was the only one that actually took the time to test the gas line and confirm that we wouldn't have any problems with the proposed equipment. As we were looking have the work supported by a permit and inspection, this was crucial. Amazingly we accepted the estimate on a Friday and had the new system installed on Monday. Big thanks to Dave for the clean installation and thoroughly answering all of our technical questions, as well as Sal for being super responsive and keeping us informed about every step of the process.”

“During the coldest weeks of this (2026) winter, our heating system failed. I called Carol Flynn’s Maria, the angel who manages the office, and even though every technician was busy, she arranged to have her boss, Marco, come out that afternoon to diagnose and possibly fix the problem, which turned out to be unrepairable. He thoroughly explained our options and I chose to have the furnace replaced with an upgraded, 97% efficient Carrier furnace and a new digital thermostat with wifi capability. Marco gave us an extremely fair price for the new furnace. Luis and Eddie were extremely thorough and without being directed, they upgraded everything: the mounting to the studs, all the electrical wiring, switches, PVC flue and drain lines. They completely rearranged their schedules and came out on a Saturday, spending the entire day to help us out. And in the few days we were without heat, Marco went out of his way to deliver 3 space heaters so we could stay comfortable. As a long-time customer, I could not recommend Carol Flynn and it’s employees more highly. They are caring, organized, extremely skilled, neat and most of all, honest. This company is simply the best; don’t waste your time with anyone else.”

Their dispatcher Rose was vey helpful for scheduling and responsive. The install techs helped walk me through a specific concern I had about dryer lint in my ducts while they installed the furnace.
