Heating & Air Conditioning / HVAC near San Pablo

“Javier with JCS Mechanical was a great pleasure to work with. He is a solution finder and a solution maker, on the spot. Nothing will stand in his way! Our electric fireplace insert is now the focal point of our living room space. We absolutely enjoy sitting in there now and watching movies with the kids. He has so much patience and pays so much attention to detail. This is a 10 star plus plus!“

“The technician expertly serviced our air conditioner and guided us in prioritizing future maintenance tasks for our system. In the short term, he replaced several components to guarantee our air conditioning would be dependable for the upcoming summer. I would certainly reach out to this company again for future needs.“

“I am more than happy with Local Plumbing. After talking with Conor about descaling my 16 year old tankless water heater or getting a new one with a recirculating pump, I did some research, weighed all the information, and chose the later. Made the appointment and Andres Delgado was at my house promptly at 8 am on the day of the install. He was thorough, pleasant, knowledgable and very neat. By the time he left I had hot water at the source! Highly recommend Local Plumbing. Every aspect was easy and positive.“

“Devin and his crew did a fantastic job to install AC for our whole house.

Highlights:
- They only use high quality appliances from Mitsubishi
- Clean installation
- Helped us with a broken AC unit for our shed without extra cost“

“The best HVAC company. The FUSE HVAC installed a new heat pump Daikin. Thanks a lot. Highly recommended and will call again. What?“

“What a great company! Perfect service with professional employees. Highly recommend!“

“My furnace started making strange noises on Sat. I called El Cerrito Heating, and since furnace was working, they scheduled a visit to see what the noise was/ repair for Thur. Great! Then the furnace died. I called on Tues morning, and Rob said he could come by later that day. He came early afternoon, and we both agreed that the furnace was probably about 50 years old, and needed replacement. Gave me a decent estimate for replacement. (I had talked to other companies and had a price range for replacement.) Rob came the next morning with the new furnace. A safer, quieter, and energy efficient furnace. Also put in a new programmable thermostat. All up and running by that afternoon, for the estimated price. I highly recommend El Cerrito Heating. Family owned, local business. Rob is great to work with. By the way, the other companies I contacted couldn't even come look at the furnace, much less repair or replace for at least a week or more.“

“In my pursuit of a reliable HVAC solution, I engaged with Comfort Heating and Cooling and several other service providers. Among them, Alberto stood out as an exemplar of professionalism and ease.His approach was notably accommodating; he attentively listened to my needs and shared insightful suggestions rooted in his experience. Offering three distinct solutions, he allowed me ample time to deliberate. He kept us in mind and alerted me to a fourth choice that we ultimately went with.Alberto’s demeanor was devoid of pressure. He meticulously adhered to our discussed points, displaying a remarkable memory for details scarcely mentioned.The installation unfolded smoothly, adhering to the projected timeline, and the system performed admirably, meeting and even exceeding my expectations. Alberto’s dedication and expertise transformed what could have been a daunting endeavor into a pleasantly reassuring experience.Service: Heating system installation“

“Element did a fantastic job during the sales process, the planning, the job, and coordinating the testing and inspections. Eduardo was my rep, and not only was he a great consultant for a pretty complex job, he was also the on-site project lead during the install getting his hands dirty along with the rest of the crew.There's a saying that you can have good, fast, or cheap...pick two. Element was very good and very fast. They weren't the cheapest estimate I received, but they were very thorough throughout the process, and ultimately completed a pretty complex job of insulation removal, replacement, installing two heat pumps and air handlers, electrical, and all new ductwork on two floors in just 2.5 days.Eduardo spent a considerable amount of time answering my questions over the course of 1-2 months before I decided to go forward, ultimately spending nearly 2hrs in the later stage of the sales process building a detailed project plan with me throughout the house. During the install a huge crew showed up and banged everything out super fast with almost no mess after the job beyond what was pre-planned for.As they say, you get what you pay for, and Element was solid end to end.“

“I had such a great experience working with Cooper & Hawkins. They did an excellent job and everyone was so friendly. If you want an quality, easy and stress free experiance this is the company for you.“

“I can't say enough for this company. Rich is very knowledgeable and is honest. This is the second time I used this company and his fees are very reasonable. He checked out my air conditioning, put new batteries in my thermostat and added refrigerant and didn't charge me anything. I would give him 100% rating.“

“Reid Heating provides excellent and responsive service at a fair price. They went out of their way to quickly obtain the necessary parts to repair our radiant heating system so that we didn't have to endure a cold home any longer than necessary during the winter. Everyone from their office staff to the repair technician were very helpful and knowledgeable. They even tried to first walked us through an attempted self-diagnosis (by phone) of the problem which could have resolved the situation without the need for someone to come out to our house. You can't go wrong with Reid Heating and Energy!Service: Heating system repair“

“My project regards upgrading the existing furnace to an electric heat pump system. Rob came out to provide a bid. Rob was punctual and extremely courteous. He went over every detail with me and explained it in a manner even I can understand. What I really appreciate was his transparency informing what he thought will and won't work as well as limitations. His bid came back quickly and competitively. Overall the entire process, from scheduling to project estimation, was simple and efficient.“

“From the start I could tell that Adkins was a professional. He was on time, personable, and listened carefully to what I needed. Then, when he understood what my requirements were, he made his recommendations. There wasn’t any pressure, and he didn’t waste my time trying to upsell me on additional services or products that I didn’t want or need. In my experience, professionals like Adkins usually come at a premium, so I was pleasantly surprised when his bids were some of the most competitive. Adkins made picking Bay Energy Solutions out of my pile of bids a no-brainer.When the day came for the installation, his crew showed up on time. They were all polite, friendly, and answered any questions and resolved any concerns. In all it took them 2 days to remove my existing unit (attic install) and install a new heat pump. The fact that I remember all their names is a testament to how much they impressed me (I’m awful with names, just ask my wife).When it was all said and done, we came away feeling good about spending as much as we did for the upgrade. And I’m certain that’s NEVER happened before. Ever.TLDR: This is just one more of a long list of 5-star reviews for Bay Energy Solutions. You should listen to my opinion because I’ve worked with or for many service providers over the years and know when I’m dealing with professionals.Services: A/C system maintenance“

“We were very pleased with the excellent service provided by service technician Kieanta Rice. Thorough, careful, expert---and included a description with photos of the service he performed. Very impressive! All the Hassler techs we have had have been excellent, but Kieanta really went above and beyond the usual.“

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. ATG worked with us to figure out exactly what to do and weren’t too pushy about anything. Ricardo and his crew were very professional and tidy during construction. Best of all our house is more comfortable than before and we pay less overall on our energy bill.“

“I can’t thank these guys enough, as they fixed my AC the very same day I called them. They worked fast, they left no mess (that was very pleasing) and explained in detail what was done.“

“Should have someone on call to help elderly people with plumbing issues, maybe someone until 9pm Monday thru Sunday ?“

“I called once...my call was returned in less than 30 minutes. The questions I had were answered positively....Thanks“

“Aarvaks is a go-to resource for our entire family. Unless it's steaming hot outside, we get a warm feeling from calling them, and if it's sweltering, they're cool. What more can I say?“

“I was very pleased with the service provided by Bell HVAC/DUCT Clean Services They were professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about HVAC systems. The job was done quickly and effectively, and my home feels so much more comfortable now.?“

“Chris and his crew were great to work with. Very professional and the work was well done. I was very impressed with his attention to detail and how fast everything came together. He responded to my texts quickly, was able to work me into his schedule the same week and finished a day early. Overall I am very pleased with the work and will call again when I have future projects. Thanks again Chris!!“

“Advanced Home Energy helped me do a whole efficiency upgrade to my home. Their technician Laura first came and did a test-in. She used high-tech tools to measure the leakage of the house and the old ductwork, the performance and safety of all my gas appliances, efficiency of windows, and existing insulation. Then they sent me an extremely thorough report with recommendations, explanations, and projected energy savings for different measures we could take. We ended up replacing my 1955 furnace with a new high efficiency furnace, and they suggested I put it in my attic instead of a closet. We actually gained a huge closet space as a side-benefit! AHE then installed all new insulated ducts and sealed them super-tight. There was one guy who spent a whole day literally painting this duct mastic inside all my register boxes so they'd be absolutely air-tight. Then after the furnace was installed, we did blown-in cellulose in my attic and walls, air sealing in the crawlspace, all new dual-pane windows which look GREAT, and I even got a nice set of pull-down attic stairs out of the deal where there used to be just a 2' x 2' hole. I had asked if the furnace be situated so that I could have some attic storage space available, and they more than accommodated my request. I also asked if the furnace would be quiet, and they explained that to help with this, they install an "acoustic loop" in the return air duct, which means that the duct travels a longer distance between the return air grille in my ceiling and the actuall furnace. Man, I can barely hear this thing when it fires up!Laura came back and did a test-out, to see if they had met their projected energy savings. They hadn't only met them, they had exceeded them. They submitted all the paperwork to the Energy Upgrade California program, and about 6 weeks later, I got a rebate check for $4500!!!!!Now we are several months into winter, and I was really curious what our utility bills would look like. Well, let me start by saying that my wife had a baby (a home birth in our toasty, quiet house!) on December 7. We had the thermostat set on 71 degrees for the entire month of December and January, all day, every day. Last winter, I kept the thermostat on 68 at night, and left it off for 8 hours a day while we were at work. Even with the extreme increase in heat usage from last winter to this winter, our energy bills are HALF of what they used to be. I'm saving at least $100/month all winter. Between that and the rebate, this job is going to pay for itself within 10 years. And my family and I get the benefits of living in a quiet, comfortable home. I am absolutely elated. Why isn't everyone doing this?!? Thanks, AHE!“

“I had a bad experience with a different company. I came to LJ Kruse as a ticked off homeowner with a plumbing problem. They dispatched Pete within a few hours and my problem was solved. Pete was extremely understanding and trustworthy. Thank you!“
