Hector Renteria has been keeping Bakersfield homes comfortable for eighteen years. He answers his own phone, gives you the price in writing before he starts, and stands behind every job. That's the whole pitch.
$95 diagnostic, credited to any repair. No surprise charges. Real human picks up.
Available this week“I've been working on heating and air in Kern County since I was twenty. I started Renteria HVAC in 2007 the week our daughter Camila was born, and I've been at it every day since. One truck, one guy doing the work, my wife Maritza on the phone in the afternoons.
If you call me, I pick up. If you book a Thursday, I'm there Thursday. That's the whole business.”
— Hector Renteria, OwnerResidential central air, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps. Repair, replace, or maintain.
Gas, electric, dual-fuel. Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman — I service whatever's in your closet.
Spring AC and fall furnace, $145 per system. Filter check, refrigerant pressure, electrical, drain line, the works.
Free, in writing, no pressure. I'll tell you when it's worth fixing and when it isn't.
I write up the estimate by hand on a clipboard — same way my old boss did it in 1998 and same way I do it now. Materials and labor itemized. My signature at the bottom.
If the number changes mid-job because of something I find behind the wall, I stop and tell you before I keep going. No "while-we-were-in-there" charges on the final invoice.
You keep the carbon copy. I keep the original. That's how it works.
Bakersfield, Oildale, Rosedale, Lamont, Arvin, Shafter, Wasco, Tehachapi, Stallion Springs. Anywhere inside about a 35-mile radius. If you're outside that and you got my name from a neighbor, call me anyway — I'll work it in if I can.

"Got three quotes for a new system. Hector's was the middle price but he was the only one who explained why I didn't need the tonnage the big shop tried to sell me. Installed Tuesday, working perfectly. Real guy, real work."
Brandon K. — Tehachapi — April 2026
"My furnace died on a 38° morning in January. Texted Hector at 7am, he was at my door by 10. Replaced the ignitor and was gone by noon. Charged exactly what he quoted. Same guy who serviced it last fall."
