Tom and his team did an amazing job installing my new heat pump. He was very thorough with the installation, the engineering calculations for the duct work, responsiveness, and attention to detail. I'm extremely happy with everything!

Special thanks to Tom and Dave for taking on a challenging install on a new condenser unit on my ice box /refrigerator with pre existing holding plates on my sail boat....Not too many HVAC guys out there are willing or have the back ground when it comes to boats or when its a little out of the norm. Honest work , honest price! Toms got your back ! Pretty rare these days.. Thank you!

I am super happy to have Tom and his team solve my HVAC issue. They are the kind of "handed down from father to son," get it done service that is a rare breed. Two other HVAC services said they didn't want to get involved as it was an original unit with a new add-on heat pump (not a unified brand.) Tom was willing to do the hard lifting to be on the phone with manufacturers and dig in to find the problem. Highly recommended.

Tom is super professional and helpful, going above and beyond to even help with a faucet installation after repairing our heater. He is very knowledgeable in his trade, and honest fair pricing to top it off. This level of service is hard to come by and much appreciated!

Tom has always been so helpful and informative. He educated me on the differences between air filters as well as coached me over the phone on how to properly clean my air vents. The quality of his work is unmatched! I highly recommend calling Tom for all your HVAC needs!

Tom came to help us last winter for an emergency right before we were hosting a party. Heat was completely out. He showed up quickly, diagnosed the problem, found the only person with the part in the Bay Area, drove an hour to get it and had us back running same day. The man was friendly and kind and professional and he saved our party!

I called Tom because I have a semi-professional walk-in cooler unit for my wine cellar/pantry that had stopped cooling. It took a few tries, but he was able to find the tiny little part that was leaking coolant and fix the system without having to rip it all out of the walls. Working with Tom is great. He's on time, and will give you a heads up before your appointment window on when exactly he expects to be there. He's clean and organized. Scheduling is straight forward and typically can arrive in a couple days for non-emergency cooler work. Plus he knows his stuff and gets it done quickly. I've been very happy to have found him and work with him.
