Surf Bros HVAC

HVAC contractor in San Diego, CA.

In Surf Bros HVAC's own words

We are a group of guys who likes to get our hands, dirty work, hard and have fun. Our HVAC company exists because we found that most HVAC companies in San Diego just were not good options for employment. We didn't like how they were treating their customers or their employees, and thus Surf Bros HVAC was born. We service all types of equipment from mini splits to water source systems and system so big that you can walk around inside of them. If you need an HVAC contractor in San Diego for any problem, big or small, feel free to reach out and if we don't offer what you need, we will point you in the direction of someone who does.

  • During a heatwave, our AC unexpectedly went out late on a Saturday night. Surf Bros was one of the few HVAC repair companies that was available 24/7. Red came out at 9pm on a Saturday (a saint!), diagnosed the issue, and was able to get the parts we needed on order ASAP. He just finished repairing and not only did he do a great job, but he also walked me through everything he did and showed me in detail other things to look out for since we have an old system. I can't recommend Surf Bros enough!

  • The guys at Surf Bros are great! I recently moved into 41 West, and had a few issues with my AC - a Mitsubishi VRF system. Not only did they promptly respond and fix the problems, they also helped program the new Ecobee thermostat. And showed me a few helpful hints about the system!

  • Friendly, timely, and very professional! A quick diagnostic revealed that the likely culprit behind the electrical issue and A/C shutting off was the Nest thermostat, which was sitting slightly loose at the connection due to a damaged latch. I got great advice on how to proceed, a little education along the way, and they reset the electrical trip and got the system running again. Next time I have an HVAC issue, I’m calling Surf Bros first and bypassing the endless review searches and inquiry calls—especially after finding other companies charging upwards of $250 just for an initial diagnostic that doesn’t even go toward the repair. Glad I found these guys. They’ll be my first call next time!

  • One of the best HVAC companies we’ve worked with in years. Literally saved us $$$ with how responsive they were and able to get our Business AC up and running within a day of contacting so we didn’t have to stay shut down/lose income, when everyone else was telling us 4-5 days out. Can’t recommend this business enough!

  • Excellent service! We called about an issue with our LG VRF system, and he was able to come out the very same day to inspect our LG AC unit. He was friendly, professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to LG VRF systems repair. He took the time to thoroughly explain what was wrong, what needed to be repaired, and answered all of our questions. The repair was completed quickly, and his pricing was very reasonable. It’s not always easy to find someone who truly knows LG VRF REPAIRS , so we were very happy to find someone with this level of knowledge and experience. Fast service, fair pricing, and most importantly, someone you can trust. We would absolutely recommend SURF BROS HVAC.

  • Great service and lots of professionalism. They were great giving me a quote and finished the job in a timely manner. I have dealt with many HVAC companies and they are the only one I will work with now . The owner and his staff are very nice and gets the job done.

    Linda O.

  • Great customer service! Helpful diagnostic and expertise.

    Jen

  • The Bros were on time, really nice, and knew their stuff. Communication with Tracy was friendly and helpful. Wonderful 👍 🏄‍♀️

    JoAnna W.

  • I just moved into my new place and needed a capacitor replaced. They were able to schedule me and get me back up and running very quickly (called Sunday, was offered same day emergency service, but was able to wait until Monday).

    Craig I.

  • Despite waiting for a week because I was not in a hurry I was given a “floating” appointment- no scheduled time given. I was quoted $100 for a diagnostic visit, but then told by the technician it was $450! They weren’t sure where the leak was, did not come fully prepared (they left to get more nitrogen). Was not given a written invoice of what work had been performed. I requested one two days after they were here and was finally sent one a few days later. Very disappointed that I was quoted one price over the phone, told a completely different price by the technician and I’m still not sure what is wrong or if it can be fixed.

    Elizabeth C.

  • Our technician arrived on time and called us 45 minutes before to help us get everything ready. He clearly communicated with us about what was happening and how he would repair it. The was polite and courteous. The job was finished in less than an hour. We are very pleased and Will certainly use Surf Brothers again!

    Earl W.

  • Surf Bros has fixed our leak on our air conditioning unit that a “reputable” company from a Costco referral years ago screwed up on and refused to honor their mistake. Also, has helped replace and fix our rental air conditioner always at a reasonable cost and I find them very trustworthy wouldn’t call anyone else.

  • I can’t recommend Surf Bros HVAC enough. After another large corporate HVAC company quoted me nearly $3,000 in repairs, I decided to get one more opinion—and I’m so glad I did. The technician from Surf Bros was incredibly down to earth, honest, and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. Instead of trying to sell me expensive parts I didn’t need, he found the actual issue, walked me through what was happening, and repaired it the same day for a very fair price. I really appreciated that he never made me feel pressured. He answered all my questions, explained the diagnosis step by step, and earned my trust through his knowledge and transparency. Surf Bros HVAC has earned a customer for life. If you’re looking for an HVAC company that’s honest, knowledgeable, and fairly priced, don’t waste your time—call Surf Bros first. They saved me thousands of dollars, and I won’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to friends and family.

  • Saved our summer! We recently moved into an older home, and on just its second use, the AC went completely out. After spending a ton of time researching reputable HVAC companies, and hearing nightmare stories about the big-name commercial companies constantly trying to upsell, I happened to spot Surf Bros HVAC while at work down the street. I am so glad I reached out! Scheduling an appointment was a breeze. The technicians arrived right on time, were super clean and professional, and couldn't have been friendlier. Since I don’t have much experience with my central air system, they took the time to explain everything and gave me great maintenance tips to keep the system running smoothly for as long as possible. Honest, reliable, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be using them for all our future HVAC needs and recommending them to all my friends and family!

  • Amazing customer service; I would recommend them in a minute.

    Rusty N.

    Jerry W.

  • These 2 guys came to the gas station and fixed the AC. Red and James knew what they were doing. Fixed the issue Great service

    Sherida H.

  • James did a great job. Answered all my questions to help me understand what caused our issue and fixed it quickly. Prices were reasonable.

  • Really happy with our experience with Surf Bros HVAC. We approached them with an idea for a mini-split, were given a quote for one but also given alternative solutions that better suited our problem, which we went with. Red was upfront about the options and his thought process, clearly very knowledgable in his field. His team was friendly and approachable while, most importantly, staying professional and communicative throughout the whole job. Everything met our expectations, and Red definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results. We're thankful for the work done and we would absolutely work with his team again. Highly recommended!

    Victoria O.

  • Great company with reasonable prices.

    Shawn P.

  • I had Alex out to give a quote on upgrading my system after another company said I needed to replace it. He was very rude and condescending to me during the process and ended up leaving and not providing a price.

    Susan

  • Went above and beyond. I had a broken thermostat, but found out my 60 year old furnace was leaking CO2 when he did a safety check. Surf Bros went under my house and turned the gas off.

    Alison H.

  • Had Surf Bros HVAC out for my annual tune-up and maintenance, and they did not disappoint. They showed up ahead of schedule and completed a thorough inspection of my systems. Punctual, professional, and efficient — exactly what you want in a service visit. Looking forward to having them back for next year’s inspection, and hopefully not before then!

    Jase R.

  • Great service! Scheduling was quick and easy, and everything was transparent and upfront - no hidden fees. The team at Surf Bros is knowledgeable and professional. I’ll definitely be using their services again and recommending them to friends and family!

    Tiffany N.

  • I was looking for a service co to take care of our HVAC system commercially and came across Surf Bros. I'm so glad I did. I've been working with Red, communication is always there. He always includes photos of the work and is very detailed and thorough with everything he does. He's always willing to answer all my questions and educate me. If you're looking for a company to service your store(s) and you're not able to always be on site, check out Surf Bros. They're honest and extremely reliable!

    Guadalupe G.

  • I run a restaurant at UTC, and we have worked with them multiple times every year. Their pricing was extremely reasonable, especially compared to other quotes we received, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. They diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed it efficiently without any unnecessary delays. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, fast, and fairly priced AC service!

    Nan

  • "Huge shoutout to Red at Surf Bros HVAC! Our AC stopped working on a Saturday afternoon right in the middle of a brutal heatwave, so I was expecting the worst. I put in a request for an appointment, and Red called me back in less than 30 minutes. He arrived incredibly fast and immediately got to work. It turns out the issue was actually a simple error left behind by a different contracting company—something I was definitely too clueless to figure out myself! Red was totally honest about it, quickly troubleshot the problem, and fixed it on the spot. From the moment I requested the appointment to the moment Red was driving away with our AC blowing cold air again, less than an hour had passed. Fast, honest, and incredibly efficient. I can't recommend Surf Bros HVAC enough!"
