"He didn't lead me down options that just simply said 'replace the whole thing' — he tried to present me with various options."— Arman G., Google review
What we do
AC, heat, and everything between the vents.

★★★★★
It has been awhile since we've gotten our unit serviced. I called Sergio and he was willing to come out that same day. He was polite, efficient, provided options and stuck to what he quoted me for service that day. I would highly recommend Polar Bear Arctic Air & Heating!
★★★★★
Kept me informed throughout the process. Was able to save my old unit. This is the guy to call. Went out of his way to make sure we were happy. Was affordable and accommodating.
★★★★★
Sergio genuinely cared about my AC / HVAC situation as if it was his own home. He didn't lead me down options that just simply said "replace the whole thing" — he tried to present me with various options so that I can make the best informed choice.
