Welcome to Paul Bennett, Jr., where no job is too big or too small. We specialize in absolutely everything HVAC related, from duct cleaning to installs. We have been serving the greater San Luis Obispo county area for 6+ years now. Call today for your free estimate!

"Paul Bennett is the best in the business. He is professional, personable and not just out to make money and sell you a system when the one you have is repairable. Hard to find the honesty and integrity this man conveys to his customers! He responds quickly and understands the needs of his customer. I had a 19 year old Bryant unit that clearly most services would insist they could Only replace. Paul quoted me the new system but gave me the option to repair it. With the budget I was on I was so grateful. I saved $8,000 and the system was repaired and up and running like brand new! I’ve moved to Nevada since and boy do I wish I could have brought Paul here! I highly recommend this man! Thanks again Paul!"
