Kara5/5

We had a new AC unit installed by Mike and his team. Quality work, great crew, clear communication and an overall great experience to work with them! We highly recommend!

Reply from the business · Sep 10, 2026

Ryan5/5

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.

Reply from the business · Nov 10, 2025

Thank you for your fantastic review, Ryan! We're thrilled to hear that you found our service professional, efficient, and reliable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate you choosing our family-owned business. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Mario5/5

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.

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Thank you for your fantastic review, Mario! We're thrilled to hear that Mike was able to assist you quickly and effectively. Your trust in Acuna Polar Aire for your future A/C needs means a lot to us. We look forward to serving you again!

Tessa5/5

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!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Thank you, Tessa! It’s wonderful to hear your kind words. Honesty and integrity are at the heart of what we do, and we’re glad Mike could resolve the issue and save you from an unnecessary replacement. We appreciate your trust and look forward to being your go-to HVAC team for years to come. Thanks for spreading the word about our service!

Jeff5/5

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!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Thank you so much, Jeff! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re happy with your new A/C and that our team could help you find the perfect fit for your home. We pride ourselves on honest advice, clear communication, and solutions tailored to your needs—not upselling. Your feedback means a lot, and we’re grateful you chose us for your project. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Stay cool!

Louis5/5

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!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Thank you, Louis! We’re so happy Mike could help resolve your AC issue quickly and clearly. We believe in transparency and ensuring our clients fully understand the solutions we provide. Your recommendation means a lot—thanks for trusting us with your comfort!

Anita5/5

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!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Michele5/5

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!!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Michele! Mike is honored to be considered both a trusted advisor and a friend. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help keep your homes efficient and comfortable, and we’re always here to share our knowledge and provide honest guidance. Your loyalty means the world to us!

Barbara5/5

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!

Reply from the business · Oct 10, 2025

Barbara, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We understand how important peace of mind is, especially during a home purchase. We’re so glad Mike could help you quickly and thoroughly. Congratulations on your new home, and please let us know if you ever need anything!
