Gillette AC Co.

Gillette Air Conditioning Company has kept San Antonio comfortable since July 4, 1959, when founders Vince and Marjorie Gillette opened their doors in the same building the company still occupies today on San Francisco Avenue. Now led by Vincent J. Gillette, the company operates with over 1,000 combined years of experience across its team and maintains 250 employee safety certifications. The contractor holds a 4.5-star average across 38 reviews, serving the greater San Antonio metro area across both residential and commercial sectors. Gillette AC Co. maintains extended hours seven days a week to handle service calls across a region where summer temperatures regularly push cooling systems to their limits.

What distinguishes Gillette from other San Antonio contractors is their in-house sheet metal fabrication capability. The company owns and operates a fully integrated coil line, plasma cutter, water jet, and CAD system, allowing them to produce custom ductwork and ventilation components on-site rather than outsourcing. They utilize KMC building automation products and software, scalable for buildings of any size. Their use of Quote Soft digital generation software enables accurate bids from electronic plan files, while GPS tracking on all service vehicles provides customers with real-time visibility into technician arrival times. This technology-forward approach, combined with their design-build specialty contractor background, positions them uniquely for commercial and industrial projects.

Customer reviews highlight specific team members making a difference. Jessica Castaneda described how Gillette installed her entire AC handler and compressor system, calling in extra crew to complete the large job on time while being conscientious about her home and cleanup. Jean O'Leary recounted calling Gillette for a second opinion after another company diagnosed a broken compressor requiring a full replacement; Gillette found zero issues and reconnected her existing unit, saving her thousands. Reviewer Todd Owens specifically praised the staff and facility, while Marissa Lyssette called out Mr. Junior Garcia by name for arriving on schedule and completing work during a tight timeframe. These customer stories reflect a company that communicates clearly and stands behind its diagnostic conclusions.
