About Steve's Air Conditioning and Heating
Steve's Air Conditioning and Heating has been family-owned and operated in Murrieta, California for 23 years, building a loyal client base across Southwest Riverside County, the Inland Empire, and nearby North San Diego County. Serving communities from Temecula to Lake Elsinore, this contractor has earned a perfect 5-star average from 621 reviews, making it one of the most-reviewed and highest-rated HVAC shops in the region.
Customer feedback reveals a contracting style built on transparency. Multiple reviewers report that the final bill matched their initial estimate exactly, eliminating surprise charges. Rather than pushing replacements, the team has resurrected aging systems that other contractors dismissed, and they extend that same care to rental property portfolios and complex mini-split configurations. Same-day urgency response runs through the reviews like a thread, with several homeowners noting they secured appointments within hours of calling.
Michael earned praise for conducting a comprehensive system audit that included explaining every step to the homeowner, a detail repeated across reviews where customers appreciated learning rather than simply receiving service. In a separate scenario, Steve arrived the same day for a condensation line repair, demonstrated patience walking the customer's mother through the issue over the phone, and earned a repeat-caller for future problems. Jessica noted Steve saved her 45-year-old air conditioning unit from replacement entirely. Across these stories, the common thread is diagnostic honesty over sales pressure.
