I have found my new HVAC company! Advanced Heating & Air Conditioning in Temecula got my business by answering their phones and being knowledgeable and kind. They got my business because scheduling was easy during this 2026 heatwave means they hired right. And finally, when Danny showed up it was once again a knowledgeable and kind technician that was ready to work. Thank you for keeping us cool.Posted on Google![]()

First of all, The lady that took my call was knowledgeable about HVAC. I had an email for the booking and to confirm the next day appointment with the time. Matthew showed up right on time. I explained the situation to him and he went over the unit to check for issues. Unit was good, He went into the attic to go thru the whole system to check for shorts ,breaks etc. The issue was the condensate drain thingy was not draining and it tripped a safety shut off and shut down the system. Had the drain cleared out and am now enjoying the a/c again. ZERO UPSELLING, everything was explained to me what and why it happened. This is the company you want to call when your AC dies. The work was priced fairly and Matthew actually knows his trade. I will share this service company with my neighbors.
