• Major Water Leak Less Than One Year After Installation — Poor Communication and Questionable Warranty Support UPDATE — Regarding the owner's response: Instead of addressing why the EZ Trap overflow protection didn't prevent water damage to my home, the owner focused on criticizing me personally. - He calls me disrespectful and condescending. I never cursed at him, insulted him, or talked down to him or his employees. I was frustrated that my house had flooded and that I kept getting conflicting answers. I said I thought the situation was ridiculous, declined service, and ended the call. - I ended the call because he seemed convinced this was a maintenance issue and that I would be charged. I was hoping they would at least investigate a serious leak from a system installed less than a year ago without charging me. I expected to maintain it annually, not to have it flood my house before its first anniversary. - He says they were upfront about potential charges from the beginning. In fact, three employees had told me the visit SHOULD be covered under warranty before I spoke with him. - He points out that the previous homeowner paid for the unit. I negotiated the new AC as part of buying the house. I don't see how who paid changes their responsibility for the installation. - He says they couldn't know the cause without an inspection, yet describes the problem as a maintenance-related clog without inspecting it. The owner's response still doesn't address my biggest question: Why didn't the overflow protection stop this from becoming a major water leak? ORIGINAL REVIEW: Cactus Mechanical installed a new AC at my house on 10/21/2025. On 10/6/2026, water from the upstairs AC area soaked the surrounding carpet, leaked through the floor, and partially flooded my downstairs laundry room. I called about their one-year warranty. Over several calls, three employees said the issue SHOULD be covered, although one also mentioned an $84 service fee. After being transferred and explaining the situation repeatedly, I spoke with the owner. Without inspecting the system, he said it was probably a clogged condensate line, considered it maintenance, and indicated I would be responsible for charges unless it was an installation defect. The conflicting answers, along with his apparent certainty that I'd be charged, led me to decline the visit. I later used a shop vac on the drain line, and the AC has operated without further leaking. I understand routine maintenance isn't necessarily covered under warranty. But I have two unresolved concerns: - Was the existing, decades-old condensate line properly cleaned and tested when the new unit was installed? I suspect it may not have been, but cannot confirm that. - Why didn't the installed EZ Trap safety switch prevent the flooding? The AC continued running while water leaked into my downstairs laundry room. I can't say whether the problem was improper installation, a malfunction, or water escaping by another path. But I'd expect the company to take these questions seriously instead of presuming it was just neglected maintenance on my part. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

• I normally don’t leave bad reviews but the owner of this company is rude and disrespectful.

  liya C.★★★★★

• Very responsive and knowledgeable. Evaporator blower replacement. 105 degrees in Phoenix Az. Not many options.

  Mark A.★★★★★

• They responded quickly when my AC stopped working on day when temps were pushing 100. He was super efficient and was out is just 30 minutes. The service call charge was higher ($159) because it was the weekend, but I was surprised by the total cost being $600 to simply replace the capacitor. That part costs around $50, so I felt this was a bit overpriced.

• I seriously cannot say enough good things about Cactus Mechanical. Our A/C went out last night, and having no air conditioning in Arizona is obviously not anyone’s idea of a good time! From the very beginning, their communication was incredible. Lisa in the office contacted me first thing this morning and was so kind, helpful, and communicative. I had literally just gotten off the phone with her when Jerome, the technician, called me on his own because he wanted to get the process expedited. He told me he could be at our house within the hour—and the only reason it would even take that long was traffic! That kind of service really stood out to me. I never had to chase anyone down, wonder what was happening, or keep calling for updates. They were already one step ahead of me and genuinely seemed to care about getting our A/C taken care of as quickly as possible. Jerome was incredibly polite, helpful, and professional, and Lisa was wonderful throughout the entire process. We’ve dealt with quite a few companies since living in Arizona, and Cactus Mechanical has honestly been one of the best experiences we’ve had. We will absolutely be keeping their information handy because they’ll be our first call if we ever need HVAC service again. Quick, efficient, incredibly communicative, and genuinely nice people. Lisa and Jerome, thank you for making a miserable Arizona A/C situation so much easier!

• Absolutely stellar service! Cactus did the complete installation of our three unit system when we did our gut renovation and massive addition in 2009. They’ve been servicing it ever since. Their work is excellent; their service is prompt and their prices are fair. Don’t hesitate to use these guys!

• I have been using Cactus many years. I trust them. They are honest. Worked with Gary. Responded quickly to my text and phone calls. Went above and beyond. Explained everything to me. Got a great deal on additional insulation. A/C is working great! Highly recommend!
