Editorial Review
Our Take on Bob Jenson
Forty-five years in one market is a long run for a trade business, and the carbon monoxide story in the reviews is the kind of detail that's hard to fake. Bob Jenson reads like a company that has scaled without losing the habit of sending technicians who actually look.
Best for: Homeowners who want a large, established company with financing options

- john harned5.0Enoc Garcia was the technician who serviced our Air Conditioner today. He was on time with the appointment, quickly diagnosed the problem, and was able to resolve the problem of not getting cold air flow. He was honest in giving the pros and cons of repairing an older AC unit or replacing it with a new one. He was very thorough in explaining why our unit stopped cooling, took pictures of the various components which made it easier for us to understand why it stopped functioning, and made certain we were getting good air flow from the various vents in our townhouse before leaving. We highly recommend Enoc and his assistant, Abrahan Brito. Nancy & JohnSeptember 2026Google

About Bob Jenson
Bob Jenson Air Conditioning, Heating and Plumbing has been running in San Diego since 1977, which puts it among the longest-tenured HVAC companies operating in the city today. The company holds California contractor license 340838 and has picked up a Service Stars America award in 2022 on top of BBB accreditation, and it now works in plumbing alongside its original HVAC business out of an Engineer Road location.
Reviews describe a company big enough to dispatch quickly but still willing to send technicians who explain what they find. One customer's account stands out: a routine air conditioner cleaning turned into a heater inspection that found 23 parts per million of carbon monoxide leaking from a corroded furnace component, a problem none of the home's detectors had caught. The technicians on that job, Enoc and his supervisor Tom, waived the cleaning fee and installed a replacement part at no charge once they confirmed the danger. Other reviewers name Gustavo, Migual and Pouria Ziari for similarly detailed walkthroughs, including help setting up smart thermostats after installation.
Bob Jenson covers the full range of HVAC work: repair, installation, duct cleaning, air filtration and insulation, and its plumbing division handles drain clearing and related work. Emergency service runs 24/7, and the company offers free quotes along with a financing pre-approval option for customers doing a full system replacement. The company does not publish specific warranty terms on its site, so ask what's covered and for how long before signing a contract.
This company suits homeowners who want an established name with financing available and don't mind a larger operation over a small local shop. It fits less well anyone specifically shopping for the lowest-cost repair, since a company this size typically prices toward the middle of the market rather than the bottom. Before booking, confirm license 340838 is current on the CSLB site and ask directly what warranty applies to your specific job, since that detail isn't spelled out publicly.
