Growing from an initial staff of five in 1964, Certified Air Conditioning now employs an average of 50 accomplished men and women who begin each day with a teamwork approach to completing the job at hand. Our people are what makes us one of San Diego’s most requested commercial HVAC contractors. We hire the best people in the business and provide them with the training, tools and resources they need to perform their jobs, as well as opportunities for rewarding, long-term careers with us. We consider our staff an extension of our family, which accounts for our company’s longevity and the low-turnover rate of our workforce.

In this relationship driven industry, success also relies on sustaining customer satisfaction and long-term relationships with clients, potential clients, and other industry professionals. For nearly half a century, our experienced team of executives, project managers, mechanical designers, estimators, technicians, installers and master craftsmen have been delivering quality HVAC solutions on thousands of projects, and to thousands of satisfied customers throughout California.
