• Paulson was great to work with! Our commercial grade AC units at my business both went out and after calling other HVAC companies who weren't able to diagnose the problem, Nick from Paulson came by and diagnosed the problem and then came back to fix it with new parts early the next morning. We will be working with them again for sure!

• Don't usually write these but Tyler really knows his stuff when it comes to hvac repairs san diego. Fixed our heat pump issue quickly and didn't try to oversell us on anything unnecessary. Fair pricing too and great service!

  Dev K.★★★★★

• Hvac repair service was done right the first time around.

  Jeff S.★★★★★

• Good People! Great Work!

  Fred E.★★★★★

• Stopped by during a road trip with my sister when our van's AC started acting up. Tyler came out and diagnosed the problem quickly, then fixed our 2.5-ton unit without any runaround. Really appreciated how he explained what was wrong in simple terms. We were back on the road within a couple hours. 👍 For other drivers passing through, they have decent parking space right off the main road and stay open later than most hvac companies.

• Tayler handled our unit replacement efficiently and kept us informed throughout the process much better experience than other ac repair San Diego companies we contacted before.

• Company is extremely knowledgeable .

  Anthony T.★★★★★

• Had Tyler come out to install thermostat and fix some issues with our system. He knew exactly what he was doing and explained everything clearly. Pricing was fair for what we needed done. Really appreciated how responsive they were when we called. The work was completed quickly and our unit has been running great since then. Would absolutely use Paulson again for any future HVAC needs.

• Paulson A/C installed a Fujitsu mini-split system in early 2024 for $12,500 that has never worked properly. It only blew warm air. Over more than a year, multiple service visits (although they frequently no-called no-showed) were made, but technicians repeatedly recharged refrigerant instead of fixing the underlying problem, resulting in only temporary cooling. A technician eventually confirmed a refrigerant leak at the compressor, showing the system was defective since installation. Despite this, Paulson A/C has refused to honor the installation warranty and is requiring payment for further repairs. As a result, I am now forced to hire a different HVAC company to remove and replace Paulson A/C’s faulty installation in order to have a functioning system. They are the worst contractor I've ever dealt with.

• Working with Paulson was one of the worst contractor experiences I've ever had. We hired them to replace our 3-ton compressor, trusting them as the HOA's preferred vendor. Instead, without any consultation or proper testing, they installed a smaller 2.5-ton unit. Standard practice requires a heat load calculation to confirm sizing, but they skipped that step entirely. What followed was months of frustration, with their technicians unable to figure out why the system wouldn't cool properly. The real issue only came to light when we were in escrow to sell our condo--another HVAC company ran the proper test and confirmed what should have been obvious: we needed a 3-ton, not a 2.5-ton. When we confronted Paulson, they dodged responsibility, tried to redirect the blame, and refused to acknowledge their mistake. I asked for a refund just to move forward, but instead was met with condescension and more misleading responses. Their mishandling created unnecessary stress for my family during a critical time, and I ultimately had no choice but to take legal action. Paulson cut corners, misled us, and left us with a unit that never worked. Save yourself the nightmare--stay far away from this company.

• Overall disappointing. Had a brand new heat pump system installed and so far had to do three service calls because the system either was not cooling or heating correctly. Currently the system is not working and waiting on a fourth service call to fix the problem. The system is less than 5 months old. (I'll update this review if or when the issues are resolved) Timeline of events and service calls: 7/1/2024 - Heat pump installation completed by Wes 7/3/2024 - Water from the system was draining into the garage causing water to pool in the garage. Notified Paulson AC, Wes came out and fixed the issue that night at around 10:00 PM. (service call #1) 7/14/2024 - System wasn't cooling properly notified Paulson AC 7/19/2024 - Bryan the field supervisor came out and figured out there was still an issue with the water drainage triggering the emergency shut off. Bryan re-did the PVC drainage and fixed the problem. (service call #2) 11/17/2024 - Heat is not working. Notified Paulson AC 11/22/2024 - JP comes out and is unable to solve the heating issue and finds additional issues with the system. The filter was installed incorrectly and will need to install filter grill on the return air and now there's a stinky sock smell when the AC is turned on. (service call #3) Now waiting on their front office to contact me to setup next appointment so Bryan (the field supervisor) can come out to see if he can fix the problem. (service call #4) Only positive note so far is Yesenia is fast to text me back when I report an issue. From reporting heating/cooling issue to someone coming out for the service call it takes 5 days. (I'll update this review if or when the issues are resolved)

• Used them 4 times. Tyler really cares about the customers.

• Air Conditioning Repair: I went back to Paulson to repair my Air Conditioning Unit this time. Prior ( for research), I did receive a quote of $6,000 for a new installation from another competitor. Brian from Paulson came on a Sunday and actually REPAIRED my A/C and saved me thousands of dollars! This with repairs and adding Freon. He is so knowledgeable, very efficient, amicable and professional. He knows his stuff and got it done quickly. My A/C is working perfectly now. Also a mention to Yesenia, who quickly got back to my calls and was so responsive with solutions. Thank you!

  Estela T.★★★★★

• The team at Paulson AC is highly recommended for their excellent customer service and efficient service. They provided me with a price list before starting the service and my AC was fixed promptly. They were very friendly and professional.

  Johnny P.★★★★★

• My AC stopped working on one of the hottest days of the year and after a few phone calls to other companies who couldn’t come for days I called Paulson. The lady who answered the phone was super friendly and helpful and said she’d get someone out to me that day. Tyler came out and diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed it on the spot. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything to me. I highly recommend Paulson Air Conditioning!

  Anton H.★★★★★

• Very professional. Excellent work. The guys were very thorough and did a great job. I would highly recommend.

  Jordan K.★★★★★

• We had Paulson come out to service our 30 yr old heating/AC unit at our office at Bejar Gate Company. Bryan, their technician was very courteous and knowledgeable and while he fixed the problem another one came up. They suggested replacing the entire unit, rather than wasting more money fixing our very old one. They credited us for that work order and installed a new heat pump right away. It works beautifully. Thank you Bryan and Paulson A/C.

  Adam B.★★★★★

• I had an outstanding experience with Paulson AC, thanks to their exceptional field manager, Bryan. He was not only knowledgeable but also honest and highly professional. Bryan took the time to assess our needs and provided us with several options to improve the airflow to our AC unit. His kindness and expertise were truly appreciated, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone in search of top-of-the-line air conditioning services.

  Eliza Z.★★★★★

• I am so grateful that I found Paulson AC. We had some issues with our AC and Tyler was able to get it fixed right away. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone.

  Daniel W.★★★★★

• 5 star experience all the way! I shopped around for quite a while before I decided on Paulson’s AC. This team was so helpful and patient with all the questions I had. They made me feel confident I was making the right decision. They do not disappoint. I’d recommend Paulson’s if you’re in need of AC.

  Mo M.★★★★★

• The Technician sent to my home was kind & extremely knowledgeable. He arrived on time, got the job done and my unit is now working great! Life is full of headache situations and I’m grateful that Paulson AC has a trustworthy team that knows how to get the job done. A stress free experience- I highly recommend this company!
