Maki has a rich, deep history in the Sierra Foothills - but it all begins and ends with serving our communities, neighbors, and customers.

Have you ever turned on your air conditioner, only to find air coming from the vents is hot? Or maybe left the A/C on for a while, and your house is still warm? Often, old, and even new air conditioning units can lose their effectiveness. A/C units are intricate devices capable of lasting for many years but require routine maintenance to ensure lasting efficiency and effectiveness.

Maki installed my HVAC sytem several years ago and maintain it regularly. I am very pleased with the service and their technicians. Good service at a reasonable price.

We had a mini split installed in our Granny Unit a year or so ago and we purchased the maintenance agreement to ensure it lasts as promised. Once again, we had the 'scheduled' service today and I could not be any more pleased. Fred was terrific, a young guy but a testament to good parents who instilled Great values. He helped me climb a ladder to see an issue that needs addressing and he did the maintenance required.
I find it hard these days to find people who can be trusted and who are willing to work as required. This company has not let me down and they continue to hire terrific

We trust Maki with all of our heating/ac needs. Our technician Nathan was friendly and knowledgeable. He found a solution for a ducting problem we thought could never be solved. An excellent experience.🙏

I wished I had checked out reviews before I used this company. I had always heard that they had a good reputation, so I used them, and paid more than I should have, to install a 3 part mini-split system in my home, for about $12,000. The system was sold to me as that the units function great independently. However, when the main area of my home did not cool down, I was then told that these systems really need to work together to function well. So what I was sold does not fit my needs that I had explicitly explained. I've tried extensively to seek resolution with the company. Each time I called

Maki was so professional and courteous and they replaced our broken AC in less than 1 week. They brought us a portable unit to help cool the house down and they were so nice to us when we were so miserable. I appreciate it so much. Thank you Maki!

Maki goes above and beyond in their timely response (even during crazy times/holidays/evenings) and provides excellent service! I wish more service vendors were like them. Oh and they can handle electrical issues too! Definite peace of mind when they are on the job.

Maki has serviced my HVAC units for more than two decades, and earlier this week they just replaced the unit they installed 16 years ago with a brand new one. Maki staff are unfailingly polite, answer all my questions whenever I chat with them, and are completely professional in their work, attire, and attitude while on the job. I’d highly recommend them for any HVAC needs.

Signed up under a maintenance agreement last year but when I never heard from them, I called to find out when exactly I'd be seeing them. Instead of them coming each season (every 6 months) I was strung along to wait 9 months.
By that time, my nearly 20-yo unit had caught fire, burned the circuitry board, melted capacitors, wiring, and needed replacing.
Their bid was well over $12k, including financing, and overselling me with another 4-ton unit rather than the original 3.5-ton that was its original footprint. This was confirmed when astute A&A Heating and Air investigated the 16"

MAKI Electric did a great job scoping out and installing our Generac natural gas generator earlier this year. I was so impressed with their work that I signed on to their Gold Plan for HVAC maintenance, after leaving a company where I had a 25-year history. (That company grew too large and service plummeted.) BRENT came today for our first AC service with Maki and did an outstanding job including detailed documentation. MAKIs phone interface is also excellent. MAKI, keep up the quality and don't get too large.

Worst experience ever. Lets just say that I'll never use Maki again. I called another company. They came out the nex't day and took care of the problem for about half the Maki price. They have a customer for life. Being born and raised in Auburn I get asked from time to time who I would recommed for heating and air service. It won't be Maki. And I plan on spreading the word!!

Our old furnace quit working and we called for bids. Maki heating and air was prompt fair and within two weeks we had an estimate financing and installation. The installation team exceeded my expectations. All were courteous and knowledgeable with thoughtful solutions for our for our new system. We now have HVAC that is way more efficient thank you

They were very prompt in responding to my request for a quote. Even better, they were able to get a technician to my house within a couple days. The issue I had was embarrassing simple but they were able to get my power back on in my kitchen quickly. The cost was extremely fair and actually less than other quotes I received just to diagnose the problem. I will contact them again if I'm in need of an electrician.

Maki's heater repairman came to my home to "diagnose" my heater, as it wasn't turning on. After literally only 10 seconds of looking at my heater, he said it's probably just a fuse. I said, "great" noticing the bag of 10 cent fuses he pulled out of his pocket.

Then I was told it would cost me an additional 120 dollars on top of the "diagnostic" fee to put a fuse in. Absolute con job. What a bad business move on Maki's part considering si own 4 houses in Grass Valley. The salesman immediately tried to sell me an 8 thousand dollar heater without

Macki installed my heat and a/c unit and they where great people that did a great job.
However their incessant phone calls wanting to do maintenance on our system has worn me out.
I''m a retired master technician and know this carrier unit does not need the service they're selling us.
I asked them when they did service last time to clean the condenser of leaves and dog hair by blowing it out with air pressure.
Instead the tech took a garden hose to the condenser and washed it, (wrong) .
He made a wet mess of the electrical area. A Dangerous & Messy job.
Second, our unit does

I contacted Maki Electric on Yelp (along with a few others), and they got back to me really quickly. They were able to send someone out within a few days. My husband said the technician did a great job installing new outlets in some unique areas of the property. We will definitely be contacting them again for our electrical and HVAC needs.

Maki put a new swamp cooler on our roof in June 2020. Job was done with care and right on time. They spent all day, making it just right. However, I went up on the roof within the next week and found it leaking water. They sent a fellow out who tightened and caulked it around the corners which stopped the leaking. Now when its time to winterize it, I find the panels extremely hard to remove if not impossible. The sheet metal seems to be out of alignment or something causing the panels to be stuck. When pulling up on them the whole unit comes up. I need to get my wife to sit on it while

I know this company's success isn't riding on one more positive review but I want to add it anyway. I've called them twice in the past 3 months for unrelated AC issues. Both times they responded and dispatched same day. That alone is unheard of these days. Both times a polite, friendly receptionist sent out a qualified, professional tech who quickly identified and repaired my system. I also signed up for their service contract, not so much for the protection but more the peace of mind knowing they are the only company I need to remember when I have service issues again. Good job

I can't say enough good things about Maki. They came in and diagnosed the problem, gave me a quote and came within the week. They sent enough guys to get the work done quickly. They were all so polite, introduced all of the guys, taped up the registers, got the work done quickly, asked before they used the facilities, cleaned up after themselves. They all wore their masks all day long. Could've have been a better experience.

John went into the incredibly hot attic and wasn't coming down untilĀ 
he was absolutely sure the whole house fan was fixed right. He's an awesome guy with a big heart.

Thank you so much to Makiair and John. They were incredibly responsive when I emailed them about an appointment and kept in consistent contact from scheduling to the actual repair visit. John really sold the company and I purchased a service contract. I'm grateful there are great companies around like you Makiair!

Made an appointment for an estimate for a repair over the weekend. The appointment window was 2:00-4:00pm. I was notified by phone at 1:57pm that they needed to cancel my appointment. I had taken the afternoon off of work to be here for the appointment window. I appreciate the phone call (hence the two stars rather than one) but more notice would have been great. Will be going with another company for the repair.

Last year they did a tune up; this year it broke. Hot summer days and my warranty guys are booked until Saturday. Cannot understand why you have to do some mediocre job on a premium system. I see all the coils inside are dirty and God knows what else broke in it may be after your tuneup ? Will be knowing this Saturday I suppose. Too bad.
