Serving Lakeside and Surrounding Areas
Lakeside is inland, about 20 miles from the coast, in the western foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains with a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Warm summers are the part that matters for us, since the air conditioner does most of the work in a home out here. Lakeside is a rural, ranch minded community and mostly owner-occupied. At the 2020 census there were 7,782 housing units and about seven in ten occupied homes were owned rather than rented. CrossBreeze Heating & Air is based in Mira Mesa, about 32 minutes from Lakeside.
We cover Eucalyptus Hills, Lakeside Farms, Lindo Park, Riverview, Lemon Crest and the historic downtown along Maine Avenue, from Lindo Lake out toward Lake Jennings. With warm summers this far inland, most of the calls are AC Repair, AC Installation & Replacement, and HVAC Maintenance & Tune Ups before the heat sets in. A Heat Pump Installation covers cooling and heating with one unit, a Whole House Fan or Attic Fan Installation helps clear heat out of the house, and Ducting & Zoning evens out a system that leaves some rooms warm. We handle Furnace & Heating Repair and Mini Split Installation too, on ranch properties and in town alike. A visit is simple. Eddie comes out, looks at what you have, and gives you a straight number before any work starts. He does not quote a price sight unseen. CrossBreeze is C20 licensed, CSLB #1055889, with a 5.0 rating on 26 Google reviews.

Every review CrossBreeze has earned on Google is a five star review. Here are a few of them.
Honesty is the first thing that one expects from any professional offering their services and cost comes second. I had Eddie come for an estimate and before even he could give me one he pointed a glaring technical potential disastrous gas pipe to the furnace by the builder which no other service technician EVER pointed out. That goes to show how professionally sound he is. Another company after inspection told me that one of the dampers didn't work so I discussed it with Eddie as well. He spent time investigating that and told me that was NOT the case and dampers were fine. Honesty!!! is very big with us.

"I highly recommend Eddie and Crossbreeze Heating & Air. He came highly recommended by my plumber and wow, when our minisplits went out, he responded promptly and came right away to assess the situation. He was professional, timely, considerate, honest, and simply wonderful. Our other AC went out on the day he arrived and he took care of that as well all within the time frame he quoted us. His work was very good and he cleaned everything up leaving things tidy."

"So hard to find good contractors these days but Eddie and his team definitely delivers. Great pricing, excellent work and a real pleasure to work with. I had a new A/C installation and replacement of heater and ducting. He came out made suggestions, provided an estimate with install date and everything was completed exactly as promised. They showed up on time, were very friendly, professional, quick, and clean."
