F5/5

Highly recommend 👍

Olga5/5

Could not praise them more. My fridge turned into a heating mode and I reached out. Valeryan came exactly as as sheduled in the AM, inspected the fridge, told me honestly that no service was needed and left super precise instructions on what I needed to do. I truly appreciated his professionalism, would recommend their services anytime.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Olga! We’re glad Valeryan could explain what was happening with your refrigerator and give you clear steps without recommending unnecessary work. Your appreciation for his honesty and professionalism means a lot. Thank you for your recommendation!

Adra1/5

DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE!!! If I could give a zero I would. These people came did not diagnose the problem. The guy actually said, “I don’t know what the problem is”. They then charge $49 for diagnosis.. unbelievable.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Adra, we’re sorry you left the visit without the clarity you expected. We understand your concern about a diagnostic charge when you feel the issue was not identified. Please contact our office so we can review the visit and billing details with you and address your questions directly.

Erick5/5

We’ve used Big City hvac service twice now: once for an air conditioner installation and once for a furnace maintenance tune-up. Both times, they were on time, friendly, and left everything spotless. I trust them completely to keep our Torrey Highlands home’s climate perfect all year long.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Erick! We’re grateful you trusted us with both your AC installation and furnace tune-up. It’s wonderful to hear that the punctuality, friendliness, and cleanup stood out on both visits. We appreciate your continued confidence in our team.

Brandon5/5

When my heater stopped working, I felt the panic of a cold night with kids at home. Big City came to 4S Ranch within hours. They replaced a fuse, checked everything, and charged exactly what was quoted. Honest and dependable service like this is rare these days in San Diego.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Brandon! We’re glad we could restore your heat promptly and that the final price matched the quote. Your recognition of our honesty and dependability means a lot to us.

Jorge5/5

I appreciate punctuality and clean work. Big City’s tech arrived right on time at our home in Rancho Santa Fe, wore shoe covers, and explained every repair they plan to perform for our heat pump. And the whole HVAC tune-up afterwards made our home so much more comfortable - I could feel the difference right away. Worth every penny.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Jorge! We’re glad the heat pump work and tune-up made a noticeable difference in your comfort. We appreciate you recognizing the punctuality, clear explanations, and care taken in your home.

Monica5/5

Our heater quit during a cold San Diego night in Del Sur. Big City saved us the day after! They came with all the needed parts on hand, got the system running again, and checked the air conditioner in addition. That kind of care really shows. Reliable, transparent, and just great people.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Monica! We’re glad our technician had the parts needed to restore your heat and could check the AC as well. Your recognition of our care and transparency means a lot. Thank you for trusting Big City.

Beny5/5

I’m a parent of two, and having comfortable air and temperature is everything. Big City made our hvac system repair easy. They arrived fast at Black Mountain Ranch, did a full check-up, fixed a bad blower motor, and showed us how to maintain it better. No hidden fees, no stress, just honest people of the San Diego community helping you.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Beny! We’re glad the blower motor repair restored your home’s comfort and that the maintenance guidance was useful. We appreciate your kind words about our clear pricing and straightforward service.

Agustín5/5

When your home comfort depends on heat in winter or cool air in summer, you don’t want to wait days. Big City came to my Rancho Peñasquitos home the same day I called! Their HVAC repair tech was professional, explained every step, and left the place spotless. Now my family enjoys warm evenings without worry.

Reply from the business · Sep 26, 2026

Thank you, Agustín! We’re happy the same-day visit helped restore your home’s comfort. We appreciate you recognizing the clear explanations, professionalism, and cleanup, and we’re grateful you chose Big City.
