Very smooth experience from initial contact with the office to first-rate service by technician. My old gas wall heater had passed its annual PG&E safety check, but the PG&E report recommended that its insides needed a good cleaning--lots of dust & dirt. Not a big job, so I was pleasantly surprised with the thorough care the technician, Bryan, gave it. He even removed the big steel plate? (he told me what it was, but I forgot) from inside the heater and carried it out to the garden and washed it with the hose. While it dried, he cleaned the rest of the heater with a brush and a shop vacuum, and finished off by providing screws from the bottom of his pack to replace a couple of missing ones so that the outer cover would hang straight and flush with the wall. This was icing on the cake--now my heater looked better on the outside, too. He did a number of tests, cleaned up, and checked to make sure that everything worked properly before he left. This was all billed as "Repairs/diagnostic: $175 per hour with a one hour minimum plus the cost of parts and tax"--not cheap, but very much worth every penny, since I'm confident that my old heater is now good to go! Oh, and the appointment was for between noon and 1PM and he arrived just shortly after noon and finished shortly after 1PM.

Steve, Steve Jr., Joe and Bryan were astonishing. They removed the old furnace and ducts and installed the new furnace without a hitch. They left the furnace area immaculate. The unit has performed as advertised. I highly recommend them.

The front office is very professional, but the technicians seemed surprisingly unprepared and prone to trying the quick fix. Forgot essential parts/tools on multiple occasions. Two sets of technicians gave off the same unprepared vibe.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating system works when needed, it must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
