I was having AC trouble and couldn’t get anyone to call me back…. it’s south Florida, there is no shortage of AC repair people nor jobs to take up. I was driving up Wilton Drive and saw a Cajun Bear AC truck. I Googled it, and sent in a service request. Ricky called me, literally, within minutes. He came out the next day and fixed it for me. I’ve been on a service plan ever since. Him or his partner always respond quickly and get me on the calendar! Glad that the business is thriving because I genuinely trust him and appreciate his family style business! His guys are always polite and wear ‘booties’ in the house! Give them a call TODAY!!!
I had never used Cajun Bear before as I just moved into the area but saw a lot of excellent recommendations on Nextdoor for them. My AC compressor stopped working during the day on a Friday, I called and they were able to send someone out within a couple of hours. The tech was very efficient and helpful. He explained a lot about the system that I didn't know because it is a new house for me. Very knowledgeable and also cleaned out the system and added coolant, which was very necessary, especially with how hot it's been and the system was struggling to keep up in the afternoons. What a great company and will definitely use them again for any AC needs. 😁👍
I have used Cajun Bear AC for couple of years. Great company to work with, they are knowledgeable, attentive and professional. They have great customer service and an excellent communication skills. I will definitely recommend Cajun Bear AC to a future costumers and the best, of all they have very competitive pricing and options. Para las personas que hablan Español! Me gustaría decirles que Cajun Bear AC es una compañía excelente y son unos genios. Los chicos son muy profesionales and respetuosos and lo mejor de todo es que te dan un buen precio con varias ofertas. Son geniales. Utilízalos y ayudan mucho a la comunidad Latina….
So nobody likes it when they air air-conditioning goes out. And I had no idea who to call so I asked some friends and they all referred me to Cajun Bear. They were great, we schedule a time, the problem got worse. They were able to get me an even earlier. The guy got here when he said he would, he gave me a two hour window and even though he was backed up, he got there still in the window and he was fantastic. They gave me some really good options and they’re coming back to fix the problem permanently because it looks like it doesn’t just need to be serviced and needs to be repaired. Thank you very much Cajun bear.
I have been using CB at both commercially and residentially for a few years now. I can’t say enough positive things about them, but will share today’s story. Sunday June 28 (YES SUNDAY!) our AC wasn’t working. Ricky (The owner) comes out personally and gets us up and running within an hour. He could have sent someone. He could have tried to give us an appointment Monday. He came out personally and fixed our AC. I will be a loyal customer and recommend Cajun Bear to everyone I know! Thank you Ricky, TJ and all the crew for always being on time, professional, and going above and beyond.
Once again, I am extremely happy with the service provided from Cajun Bear AC repair! The extremely polite and courteous service member just left after cleaning and checking everything was in tip top shape with the unit before heading into the summer months. It’s really great how they also reach out to you to remind you about service. In the past, this is where I am forgetful which has lead to emergency no AC situations. I would highly recommend them !
Great! Here’s a draft for your Google review based on that information: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent experience with Darius, the AC technician from Cajun Bear AC. He promptly diagnosed the issue with my air conditioning unit and explained everything clearly. His professionalism and expertise made the process smooth and stress-free. He was honest and transparent. I highly recommend Cajun Bear AC for any HVAC needs! -
Just started new service with Cajun Bear after moving into a new apartment. They came recommended by neighbors. We got an appointment within a few days after we contacted them and their tech was very professional and did a thorough cleaning and inspection of the AC unit. No suggestive selling of services and equipment that we don’t need which was a welcome change from the company that serviced our previous apartment. Highly recommended!
Ricky has always been extremely responsive and his follow through has been impeccable. Finding a contractor that you can trust seems to be a common issue in South Florida but we can say that Ricky has always been fair, honest and someone we have come to trust. Highest recommendation. He runs his business like you are a family member rather than just a client.
Cajun Bear has been consistent with providing amazing service. We utilize them for A/C maintenance as well as other projects we've contracted them for. They are fair with pricing, very professional, and knowledgeable about their craft. Cajun bear is the HVAC company of choice and we are proud to say we are loyal customers. You won't be disappointed.

Their prompt response led to the installation of my iFLO device the next day, followed by thorough checks to confirm its perfect operation. Their friendly attitude and strong commitment to excellence were evident, and I would not hesitate to conduct business with them again. Thanks Cajun Bear for your service.
Cajun Bear A/C does a fantastic job performing my regular maintenance contact service. The Technician is always prompt and courteous and above all very thorough in completely checking my system. I highly recommend Cajun Bear A/C to any one looking for excellent service at reasonable prices. 👍 👏
I needed to have my mini split system replaced in extreme circumstances. Ricky and everybody at Cajun Bear were superb throughout the process, all the way to the end and getting the permit closed out. Definitely worth considering (and using!) for your cooling needs. Thank you!
Once again, very happy with our experience using Cajun Bear A/C Repair! They were able to come out to our house quickly… they diagnosed the issue and had it repaired within an hour… Extremely reasonable rates. I wholeheartedly recommend this company!
Quick service. I would highly recommend this company. Issue was taken care of quickly and Ricky and Jimmy were very professional. I beleive the price was very fair. It's hard to find an honest company these days. You won't go wrong with Cajun BearAC!!!!
I’ve been using Cajun Bear AC Repair for over a year. I got on their yearly maintenance program which includes 2 visits a year. Scheduling is simple and the service calls are thorough. I highly recommend them for any AC needs.
Cajun Bear AC Repair has been servicing my AC for two years. The air handler is mounted in the bathroom ceiling. It is not an easy job because of the tight space. I appreciate their expertise and keeping my unit nice and cool
Cajun Bear AC Repair was great to deal with. There were no surprises or issues. The work was done in a timely and efficient manner. They even swept the floor before they left. I would recommend them. Thanks Cajun Bear.
They’ve never not been a 5! I used CB to replace my A/c last year. Now I had an old bathroom exhaust fan that I wanted updated/replaced. Another awesome job! They’re honest, reliable and do great work! Thanks!!
Very, very professional. I called, got an appointment, the technician showed up on time and within 20 minutes I was back up and running. Very kind and the costs was so reasonable. I’m so happy I called them.
Cajun Bear AC repair have done a couple of different jobs for me, replacing units in different properties, and they did a great job and I'm very happy. I would whole-heartedly recommend them.
Richard and all of his technicians are a pleasure to work with. They are pleasant , on time , easy to communicate with and come prepared with booties. Couldn't ask for more from Cajun Bear!
The folks at Cajun Bear AC rock. They were super responsive and the technician Jim was courteous, knowledgeable, professional, and did a great job in making them repairs. Highly recommend.
I was having problems with my AC on a very hot day, one call to Cajun Bear, AC and they were able to fit me in their schedule almost immediately. Greatly appreciated, Outstanding service!
Everyone I’ve met at Cajun Bear AC Repair is polite, professional, knowledgeable and quick. Always a great experience and choose them every time I need service or a check for my HVAC.
Cajun bear replaced a regular thermostat with a Wi-Fi connected thermostat. They did a great job and cleaned up very well after. The technicians were courteous and friendly and on time.
As always, Cajun Bear provided excellent, efficient same-day service for an A/C issue over a hot weekend. I have used them for many years and they always provide great, prompt service.
Outstanding. Texted them last night and they responded immediately. They had a tech at my house first thing this morning who was pleasant and professional. Great company.
Great work !!!! I'm glad that I called Cajun Bear AC Repair to fix my air conditioning. Jim, the technician, was very knowledgeable of his work and repair it in no time.
I wanted to support a local company that had been highly recommended by a friend, but unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing. My AC system was struggling to cool my home. After inspecting it, Cajun Bear recommended replacing the evaporator coil. Before spending over $2,300 on the repair (plus additional service charges), I specifically asked whether replacing the coil would solve my cooling problem or whether I should replace the entire system. I was told in writing that replacing the coil would fix the cooling issue, and because I couldn’t afford a new system, I relied on that recommendation. They also offered me a payment plan for the coil repair, which made that option financially possible. The new coil was installed, but the system never performed as expected. Within months I was paying for additional service calls. During one visit they cleaned the “dirty” coil that they had recently installed and stated there had been no filter protecting it. I was confused because a filter had been installed during a previous visit, and I certainly did not remove it. Later, when the system continued struggling to cool, I was charged again for refrigerant because I was told the original technician “might not have added enough for the warmer months.” That explanation alone raised concerns for me. During that same visit, I was suddenly informed that a large opening around my air handler was allowing hot attic air into the closet and affecting system performance. I was then quoted hundreds of dollars to seal the opening. My question was simple: if this was such a significant issue, why wasn’t it identified before recommending and installing a $2,300 coil replacement? The company had inspected my system multiple times. Today, despite spending approximately $3,000 with this company, my AC still struggles to cool the home during South Florida summers. It often runs continuously for hours, and indoor temperatures still reach 79–81 degrees while trying to maintain 75. Guests at my rental have also experienced these issues. The most disappointing part of this experience came when I attempted to resolve the matter professionally. I asked the company to either refund my money or send a senior technician to thoroughly diagnose why the system still wasn’t working properly after the expensive repair. Instead of working toward a solution, I was told that my system was basically “garbage” and that I should have done my own due diligence before authorizing the repair. That was difficult to hear after relying on their professional recommendation and written assurance that replacing the coil would solve the cooling problem. I understand that older HVAC systems can have multiple issues, and I wasn’t expecting miracles. What I expected was an honest assessment before investing thousands of dollars into a repair that did not resolve the problem. If the system was truly beyond economical repair, I wish I had been told that from the beginning so I could have put that money toward a complete replacement instead. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience. I encourage anyone facing a major repair to get a second opinion before authorizing expensive work.
UPDATE: I am changing my previous 5-star rating to 1 star due to a complete failure of service, breach of written guarantee, and predatory billing. The company guaranteed me in writing that a $2,425 coil replacement would resolve my home's cooling issues. The repair completely failed and the property has been left unlivable at 80 degrees. Since the installation, they have charged me an additional $315 for refrigerant to cover up installation configuration issues, and then issued a deceptive $375 quote to patch a standard utility line drywall penetration as a deflection for why the system fails to cool. When asked to honor their written guarantee, the business owner called the system 'garbage' in writing and officially stated they would not correct the issues. A formal billing dispute has been initiated through Chase Bank and an official trade practices complaint has been filed with the Florida DBPR.
Technician was pleasant and prompt. Ran an electronic leak detector over coils on my condenser and told me it was leaking. Had two other companies look at it and they both said it is not leaking there but found a huge puddle of oil from the Freon line down by the compressor. He never even noticed this. I would suggest calling another company. Their technicians are not well trained.

Work was not completed professionally. they charged to replace a wire but spliced it with existing wire and did not replace the wire. Service fee was charged after fee for service and was supposed to be applied against that fee.

contacted Cajun Bear Air-Conditioning Repair very early in the morning, sending both a text and leaving a voicemail. I received a prompt text response right away, and within minutes I was given a two-hour service window. True to their word, I was notified exactly on time when the technician was on the way. The technician arrived promptly, quickly diagnosed the problem, and had my system repaired in less than half an hour. The entire process was efficient, professional, and stress-free. I could not be happier with the service I received. I would recommend Cajun Bear to everyone without hesitation. In addition to servicing my home system, they also maintain the A/C system at my office. We have always found them to be reliable, trustworthy, and fair. Their consistency and professionalism set them apart from other companies. Five stars all the way!
