Where We Work and Why It Matters

When your AC or furnace stops working, the last thing you want to hear is “Sorry, you’re out of our area.” That’s why we’re up-front about where we go, and we do everything we can to respond fast—especially for homes and businesses close to our Lake Elsinore headquarters.

Being nearby isn’t just about convenience; it means we know these towns, the quirks of their buildings, and what kind of weather to expect. Our technicians don’t just work here, they live here, too.

 

Our Core Service Area

We call Lake Elsinore home, but our work takes us all over the region. Here are the cities where you’ll see our trucks most often:

  • Lake Elsinore
    This is our backyard. If you live here, chances are we’ve already worked in your neighborhood. We handle everything from routine maintenance to complex installs and emergency calls, day or night.  
  • Canyon Lake
    Canyon Lake’s tight-knit community and unique homes keep us on our toes. We’re used to navigating the gates and know the ins and outs of local HVAC needs. 
  • Wildomar
    A lot of Wildomar homes were built during different decades, which makes every job interesting. We’ve helped many families here upgrade older systems or get things running smoothly again. 
  • Murrieta
    Whether it’s a new build or an older home, we see it all in Murrieta. Many folks here ask us for energy-efficient options or help with regular tune-ups. 
  • Menifee
    Menifee’s growing fast, and we’re glad to grow with it. From quick repairs to full HVAC replacements, we’re just down the road. 
  • Perris
    From small businesses to busy homes, Perris keeps us busy year-round. We’re familiar with the climate and what local buildings need. 
  • Corona
    We know Corona for its mix of classic homes and modern builds. Each brings a different set of HVAC challenges, and we enjoy the variety. 
  • Temecula
    Wine country isn’t just about grapes—it’s about homes and families needing comfort, too. We’re always happy to make the drive to Temecula, whether for a service call or a new installation.

Customer Testimonial: Lake Elsinore Installation That Beat the Heat

Every now and then, we get feedback that reminds us why we do things the way we do. Todd C. in Lake Elsinore recently shared his experience with our crew, and we think it says a lot about how we handle the tough jobs especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Here’s what Todd had to say:

“I had 2 great install Techs come out today—Samuel and Devante. First off, they were very clean. They never left a mess. They cleaned after themselves during the install. I had them set up in my garage so they have a clean flat surface to work on. They left my garage spotless. They had to install a new furnace and AC unit in my attic. It was 105 out and 130 in the attic. They never stopped or complained. They set up fans and got to work. They also installed a new X-Series outside. Wow this massive 5 Ton unit is quiet and thin. It is running in the other side of a wall and I cannot hear it. They took 6 hours to remove and install, test and clean up. That was impressive. David, our sales rep was also great. He helped us get a deal we could live with. I also opted in the maintenance plan so I could keep a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Peace of mind to keep this running smoothly. I will use them again. The cost was fair. $14k-$18k depending on options. I called 4 other places and they couldn’t match the cost and warranty.”

A lot goes into an install like this especially when you’re climbing into an attic that feels hotter than a sauna.

We know folks in Lake Elsinore and the rest of the Inland Empire need things done right, and it’s always our goal to leave your place just as clean or cleaner than when we showed up.

What stands out to us is that Todd felt comfortable with our team in his home, trusted us with a big project, and came away with peace of mind thanks to the warranty and maintenance plan.

We’re grateful for folks like Todd who take the time to share their story, and we look forward to being there whenever he or any of his neighbors needs us again.
