All Around Heating Air & Construction reviews

The Verdict
All Around is a safe, middle-of-the-road installer that gets the job done without the polish you'd find at premium companies. We analyzed over a hundred reviews and found a pattern: they show up fast, quote lower than competitors, and finish installations on schedule. One homeowner called five companies for quotes and said All Around beat them all on price while still delivering clean work. Another watched the crew replace an entire HVAC system in two days, then return without complaint to fix a faint whistle in the ductwork. The downside is consistency. We spotted a telling review where a technician made a mistake and the owner initially pushed back on a $90 reimbursement, only relenting after the customer made a case. That's not the response you want when something goes sideways. Most jobs go smoothly, 59 reviewers praised their workmanship outright, but you're betting on routine execution rather than white-glove problem-solving. If you're comparing purely on price and want an installer who'll likely finish on time, this is a reasonable pick. But if you expect proactive follow-up when issues emerge, you may want to shop around.
If you need fast repairs or a straightforward install at a competitive price, All Around will likely deliver. But if you want an installer who owns mistakes without hesitation, look for a company with stronger customer-recovery instincts.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Aarron Lacey moved into his house and a year later discovered the AC quit during the height of summer. The crew made a quick patch, refilled the unit with freon and warned the system could fail at any time. He took the cheap fix and the next day the compressor died completely. Juan stepped in, walked him through several replacement systems, helped navigate financing, and handled the paperwork and permitting that had been overwhelming for the family. During the install the team worked professionally and thoroughly, and they also put in a whole-house fan — a small addition Aarron now uses all the time and calls worth every penny. The company even applied the money from the initial repair visit toward the new installation. A couple of days after the install a faint whistle developed; the crew came back immediately, traced it to duct length and made adjustments until the noise disappeared. The work happened in July 2018, and years later he still appreciates the performance, the responsiveness and the practical additions (especially the whole-house fan) that changed how the house cools.
The Whigga’s had relied on this company multiple times in the past and those jobs had gone smoothly. That history ended when a technician working for Juan made an error that left the HVAC system at their business nonfunctional — an expensive problem because the system is essential to operations. Instead of owning the mistake, Juan pushed back and tried to shift blame, forcing them to fight for a $90 reimbursement. They eventually collected the $90, but the reimbursement didn’t make up for lost income or for how the owner handled the situation. The experience revealed what they view as a lack of integrity in leadership, and they won’t refer the company to anyone based on how the aftermath was handled.
Torrey woke to a lifeless air conditioner after a hot night and called the company first thing that morning. No one answered right away, but as soon as Torrey hung up the phone rang — All Around had returned the missed call and scheduled a same‑day visit. Two technicians arrived later that morning, professional and efficient, and diagnosed the issue within ten minutes. With the AC being about 12 years old Torrey had braced for a full replacement, but the techs traced the problem to a single faulty component and already had the needed part on their truck, replacing it on the spot. The emergency call‑out and part were billed at a reasonable price, and Torrey appreciated the woman who returned the call plus the two technicians who got the system running again. The one detail that stuck was that they carried the exact replacement and restored cooling the same morning.

Nathan has relied on All Around for years — they handled his fall and spring maintenance and, this week, completed a solar-panel installation. He discovered a consistent level of professionalism and integrity throughout: crews turned up on time, stayed communicative, and were friendly and easy to work with. The standout detail for him was the continuity of service — the same reliable company that kept his system maintained also installed the panels smoothly, leaving him with working equipment and no headaches.
Jacob has been flipping houses in Chico and over the past two years hired All Around Heating And Air for at least a half dozen new HVAC installs on his flip properties. He also worked with at least three other HVAC companies in Chico but discovered All Around consistently delivered the best prices and the kind of integrity that showed from the initial estimate through the finished install. He kept bringing them back for subsequent projects; the standout detail was that low cost came paired with straightforward, reliable service. For someone juggling multiple flips, that combination is what made them his repeat choice.
Rebecca Gontiz returned to All Around Heating, Air & Solar after they replaced her HVAC system a few years earlier. This time they installed a solar system on her house and kept the whole process straightforward and hassle-free. She ended up with a setup she’s very happy with — especially pleased by the amount of power it’s producing.
Sarah N. has relied on Juan and his company, All Around, for years while juggling a busy Realtor schedule in Chico. She turns clients to them for inspections, repairs, and full HVAC replacements and has consistently found Juan offers the most competitive pricing along with straightforward, professional service. He installed a new system in her own home last year and repeatedly steps in on short notice when she needs emergency help for a client or a last-minute job. For a Realtor who needs dependable, affordable contractors at unpredictable hours, the detail that sticks is his availability combined with honest pricing — the go-to resource for both her clients and her own house.
Pav recently had Juan and Mike finish a second project at his home in Paradise, installing a PointGuard battery system and adding extra solar panels to the array he already had. He appreciated how friendly and punctual they were and liked the clear, prompt communication throughout the job. The installation went smoothly, and he intends to call them back for future work. The detail that stands out is the PointGuard battery paired with the additional panels — a tangible upgrade now in place on his roof.
Angel H. had All Around come out to fix a home air conditioner a few years ago and called them back most recently in July 2022. They ended up with reliable, fairly priced repairs on both visits and watched owner Juan work in the hot sun alongside his crew. The company kept costs reasonable and offered a veterans discount that Angel appreciated. The detail that stuck with them was the hands-on owner who shows up and does the work himself — a small, tangible sign that the service was personal and straightforward.
Michelle Fox needed a quick fix when her heater stopped working. She booked a service visit, the team arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and had the heater repaired in short order. She gave the company five stars, saying the standout was the speed and timeliness of the repair — fast enough that she passed the recommendation along to family and friends.
Aya called around the Butte district after two other companies failed to show up and found a locally owned team that had her issue resolved the very next day. She appreciated how respectfully and clearly they communicated throughout the process, and that their price felt fair compared with others she’d contacted. The crew delivered tidy, professional work—roof and equipment left spotless—and finished quickly. What stuck with her most was the fast, local response combined with a clean installation that didn’t leave a mess behind.
