This company has renewed my faith in businesses that are above and beyond incredible! Every single person I have had the absolute pleasure of dealing with, from the owner, office staff, and EVERY technician-have far surpassed the TRUE definition of customer service! They are honest, trustworthy, kind, and I just wish I could give them more than 5 stars! They replaced an entire AC unit at our rental home with ductwork upgrades and correcting electrical issues that were sub-standard in regards to the AC unit and power. They were punctual, thorough, courteous, and genuinely cared about the work they did and my satisfaction! I had them service our primary residence units and once again, surpassed all expectations! I have dealt with a lot of service industry companies in my lifetime and I can't remember a company that surpassed all expectations when it comes to customer service and HONESTY! From the very first phone call, everyone I have dealt with in this company is beyond EXCEPTIONAL! Thank you Benchmark Air Conditioning for renewing my faith in a business that truly put me, my needs, and my repairs first!

DO NOT CALL!!!!!! I used before and it was great, I have parts and labor warranty but they didn't instal so they didn't honor the labor. Perfectly okay with that, it was a $90+ fee, parts were covered. Then I had another issue, I could see exactly what the issue was, so I called. This time it took them 4 days to come out, I was stuck for a week with no AC this summer and they took advantage. They would not tell me how much it would cost until they were finally going to replace the part a week after I called. Instead of the $90+ fee, they charged one $90 fee for coming out to look, another $90 fee to order the part, another $90 fee to go pick up the part, another $90 fee to bring the part to my house and a final $90 fee to install the part... My family needed the AC so I paid it, but PLEASE CALL SOMEONE ELSE... They knew my family was suffering for not having AC for a week in the summer so they took advantage, "We have the part and can come out right now and your AC will be up and running in 30 minutes, but it will be $$$$$...."

Really appreciate these guys! They are very professional and extremely patient. Aaron helped me get my thermostat working again a while back and was so incredibly patient and kind. Ryan was just out along with a crew of guys to replace my ac unit and they did a great job and I am so grateful they were able to get it done before the 112 degree weather next week.

These guys came 30 minutes outside of Bakersfield on a Friday, came back to finish on a Saturday in the heat, and dominated the job. Put a new AC unit in, Ryan and his team were very polite, worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves and got us up and running in as fast as I could imagine possible considering the circumstances of the job. Highly recommend these guys, great effort, great communication, great positive attitudes. Easy 5 stars!

We had 3 different companies come out and quote us to diagnose and repair our AC problem. Kenny from Benchmark handled our quote and was by far the most professional and thorough of the 3 companies. We decided to use Benchmark for our repair and they performed as promised. Very satisfied customer and would highly recommend. 👌

Initial diagnosis determined it was the thermostat. Agreed to pay $440 because I was under the impression it would fix problem. A/C not working problem not solved. Overpaid for thermostat. Found same thermostat online $79.

They showed up on time, called before they arrived and got right to work. Michael performed the work, explained what he was doing and explained the results of his inspection….. our small diameter duct work may be making our air system run longer is needed. We signed up for their annual maintenance program👍

Everyone I had contact with was very professional and efficient. My a/c wasn't working properly. The tech came out quickly. He was friendly, and most importantly very knowledgeable. He found the problem right away. He explained the problem to he, then fixed it. I highly recommend this company.

Came out to do an estimate and ended up adding an additional charge without clarifying what they were actually doing. Then they still have yet to send a quote to us for the work that needs to be done and it's been nearly 2 months since the estimate. They need to work on their communication big time.

After reading reviews I thought this would be the best company to contact to inspect my A/C and ducting and write a clear and concise invoice. Because I was trying to get a second opinion for my warranty company I needed Benchmark to complete an invoice of both my A/C and ducting. The A/C report was done promptly but on the same report details on the ducting were neglected and I needed clarity and promptness on both for my warranty company in which I was clear to mention the importance of this report to my serviceman. From personal experience I know in order to remember details about an inspection a prompt report is necessary and notes should be taken. I did not receive and update to the invoice even after a month and a half of contacting, so I hired another company and they accomplished what I needed promptly so I could submit the information to the warranty company. I asked for a refund which I thankfully did not receive any hassle over. Nichole the woman who I spoke to many times over the phone for updates was the best part of my experience with benchmark. I cannot recommend this service based on my above remarks, but I do recommend Nichole for her professionalism.

I’ve used Benchmark quite a few times, and every time they’re very professional. The price reflects the value of service you receive, and it’s a locally owned business!
