"This is hands down the best AC company in the San Antonio area. A hidden gem if you ask me, they did great work and Hector was very knowledgeable and walked me through everything after the job was completed, he did a fantastic job. Good service, great value. I highly recommend this company for your HVAC needs."

"We chose this company out of four that we received bids from on completely replacing our AC/furnace. We are delighted that we did. They were fast and efficient. Hector and Dorian did the installation and were a pleasure to have in our home. The next day two technicians came out to check the system and help with paperwork. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks to Carnes & Sons we are now comfortably cool without a huge bill to pay off."

"Top 3 takeaways after using Carne & Sons to replace our interior and exterior central air units: #1 The knowledge from the first call was helpful in not wasting money because I didn't know what I needed. I was on the phone with the owner and he was able to give direction as well as offered a free consultation. (other companies were going to charge $85 just to come out) #2 In person he was informative but low pressure with making a decision. Negotiations were fair and I got a great deal. #3 It only took 24 hours from the time I said yes, I want a new unit to the time that they were able to remove my old unit and replace it with a new one. I highly recommend using their services. Great service and great people."
