I had BK and Jose show up today to look at my mini split after it started leaking water from the front the unit. I had a different shop come in yesterday who looked at the same issue and quoted me 15k to replace it telling me the shower pan is broken. I immediately knew I was being taken a for a ride. I thanked them and called Vargas the next day. I didn't know much about Vargas to be honest but I felt their pricing on website for mini splits seemed much more reasonable. They came in today, they diagnosed the issue, cleaned up all the wet components, serviced it clean and reassured me the unit was doing great and were on their way. This is what professional, honest service looks and sounds like. I was deeply impressed and promised them I would call them for future service and repairs. They look like an honest shop and we need more of them. So call them. Tip them as I did for a great and honest service. This is not a paid review. I am just a happy customer who got saved from getting ripped off because of Vargas.

How long does installation take?+

Most single-zone mini split installs are completed in a single day. Multi-zone systems typically take 1–3 days. We confirm the timeline in your written quote.

Do I need to add ductwork?+

No — that's the main benefit of a mini split. We mount the indoor unit on the wall and run a small (3-inch) refrigerant line to the outdoor condenser. No ducts, no demo.

Can I cool just one room?+

Yes. Single-zone mini splits are perfect for additions, ADUs, garage conversions, sunrooms, or any room that's hard to cool with central air. Multi-zone systems handle whole homes.

Do you offer financing?+

Yes — approved homeowners can finance their installation with flexible monthly payment options. Ask us for details during your in-home quote.

What brands do you carry?+

We stock major brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and more. Our in-stock inventory means fast install — no waiting weeks for equipment.

Do you pull permits?+

Yes — every install includes permits and inspections so your system is up to code and your warranty stays valid.

What areas do you serve?+

Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, Fremont, San Leandro, Hayward, Oakland, Milpitas, San Jose, and Tracy.
