We live in Ripon. We have been using CenCal for the past 5 years. They installed an entirely new HVAC system and have been performing biannual service for the system. We are always very pleased with their staff and their professionalism! Today we had them install a new water heater by Bradford & White. We will continue using CenCal for all our future needs ;-)

Cencal is reliable and knowledgeable and we trust them for hep with our hvac. We’ve used them for a number of years and appreciate that the always provide transparency and options. I recommend their maintenance plan which includes cleanings and inspections twice a year plus discounts on repairs and parts.

We’ve had nothing but courteous, professional and timely service from Cencal over the last several years.
They were able to squeeze me in in December to replace our 21+ year old HVAC before rebates were expiring and called to make sure everything is going well.
I appreciate their friendly, customer-oriented business.

Your employee was exceptionally nice and represented your company very well. He has been here before and remembers our family and our dog, which is always nice when he shows up. He wore his feet coverings and was very clean and careful when he went into the attic. We really enjoyed him a lot. He’s a good guy, keeping him.

Had an amazing experience working with Cencal. When replacing your complete AC system it becomes a long term investment. Not only is product quality important but who you choose to install it. Cencal by far exceeded my expectations. Everyone at Cencal was wonderful to work with. I appreciate Jason and his team going above and beyond to earn my business. They were responsive, trustworthy and communicated everything in a timely manner. Highly recommend Cencal for anyone that is looking for a company that takes care of their customers and provides quality work. Thank you, Jason and team.
