Awesome family owned business. Honest and straight forward, very easy to deal with and professional. I got 3 quotes and they were the best and the most efficient and reliable. Highly recommend.

Mike is a life saver! I had an issue with my A/C condensation drain, and Mike helped troubleshoot the issue over the phone and quickly worked me into his schedule to fix it in person. I will use Acuna Polar Aire for all my future A/C needs.

Mike is a super hero. We got a diagnostic done in the winter from another company who told us our AC needed to be replaced for 13k. We called Mike when it stopped worked this summer thinking it needed to be replaced, but Mike was able to fix it and get it running for $275. Truly, these people are amazing and honest and trustworthy. We won’t call another AC person in San Diego ever again- just Mike for us from here on out!

Just had a new A/C unit installed by Mike and his team and couldn’t be happier. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions when giving an estimate. They came in at a much more reasonable price than a few others that I got quotes from. Didn’t try to upsell us and ended up helping us pick out a unit that we are happy with. Very quiet, energy efficient, and small so it fits on our side yard perfectly!

Mike is the best! Not only did he fix my AC in a timely manner, he explained exactly what was wrong with it and what he did to fix it. He is honest, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Acuna's Polar Aire!

Mike was referred to me after getting multiple estimates from other companies. I am so pleased to have gone with his company. His work, professionalism and how thorough he is was excellent. Mike took the time to explain things to me and I will definitely be using and referring Acuna’s Polae Aire Heating & AC in the future!

I’ve known Mike for over 5 years. In those years he has been a coach, a friend, but more than that, a wealth of knowledge in his trade. With two homes that needed upgrading, Mike was able to give us his expert advice on a couple of matters that not only got our units to provide efficiency for our homes but saved us money. Mike should be everyone’s friend/company!!

We were getting ready to close escrow on a house but we were concerned about the central air and heat units. We had limited time to get it handled. Thank goodness for Mike Acuna from Acuna's Polar Aire who was able to squeeze us into his personal schedule and provide assurance that all was good!Thank you so much!
