    New AC unit
    Brady C.

    I can't say enough good thinks about John and his team. I called John after I had someone come out to fix a problem with my Trane furnace and told me the whole thing needed to be replaced. I was skeptical since the system wasn't that old. As the official Trane dealer for the east bay I thought I'd reach out to Air Performance and Heating for their opinion. John was awesome, he was also skeptical that it needed to be replaced, and he was able to consult with me over the phone and asked me to try a few things and spent time with me to try to fix it (all free of charge). Ultimately I did need to replace the system, and John concurred but only after trying a number of different things (all for free) which I was super appreciative of. When I decided to replace it, I asked John for a quote. He prepared a quote with high end and more budget friendly options. His quote was competitive with other companies, and given his great investment in helping me, and the great warranty he offered, we decided to go with him. On install day the team showed up at 9 (right on time) and worked all the way till 8 pm. They were professional and very nice, they communicated to us well, and their work was very clean. They even found a few ways to come in under budget. They came back the next day to finish up and test out the system, and again they were a pleasure to work with and have in my home. I am really really happy that we chose John and his awesome team. We will definitely use them for any future work and I highly recommend them for anyone looking. Thank you guys!

    Our air conditioner failed in our single story house during the summer (2021) and was fixed, however, it seemed like it needed replacement. We replaced our 24 year old air conditioner and furance in November 2021. We decided on the TRANE system with CleanEffects air cleaner and Air Performance. After determining we wanted the higher efficiency furance, we recieved a bid. In fact, we got 4 bids total. 2 for Trane, and one from the Lenox and Carrier dealer/installers. Each of these actually came to the house to scope out the work. We picked Air Performance because of some Yelp review comments and the knowledge of John (& Don in sales) about our specific install. We set up a time to start the install with John, the exceptionally knowledgeable owner. Ronnie was the lead. He and his assistant (I think Andrew) work very deligently and professionally to make modification to make the new system fit and function optimally. There are many details that they addressed during the install that I can't cover. A couple, however, stick out. 1-The air cleaner was postioned to be convenient to clean and yet optimally functional. Thank to the creative thinking of Ronnie. 2-The low temperature furnance exhaust was routed in the attic with the appropriate slope and end cap. Good job Andrew. 3-The 5 wire thermostat cable was replaced by a 6 wire cable. This was a lot of extra work- but done RIGHT. Both Ronnie and Andrew worked hard to route the cable. The Ecobee thermostat works GREAT. 4-Each of the ceiling registers were sealed to prevent leaks to the attic. This seemed like a small thing to me initially because no other installer did it. Wow! Was I wrong. As it turns out, significant leakage can occurs to the attic. So when closing the front door quickly it causes a vacuum and air (dust) can be drawn in from the attic. Andrew sealed all the registers as part of the standard install process. It was noticed that the house has a lot less dust than before. 5-And now the BEST. Feb. 18, 2022. The city inspector liked the install and even wanted more information about the installing company. He was amazed at the low duct leak level. Sealing the registers is one contributor. He signed off on it with no issues to correct. I recommend Air Performance to install or repair any Trane or other AC/Furance system. RonS

My husband and I evaluated three vendors around the area in great detail and despite Chill coming out slightly more expensive than others, we felt they were the most thorough and comprehensive during the consultation (and the many follow-up questions I had). They were also able to squeeze us into their busy schedule so we could get AC before the heat wave! During installation, they ran into several challenges with placement of the new unit and some wiring that needed more attention. They worked through and around them to make everything work out in the end. I really appreciate their flexibility and expertise to navigate all the roadblocks without changing the scope of work. TIP: Measure the space where the unit is going to be placed and make sure the new unit will fit OR that you discuss this before the project starts.

    Chill is a classic example of the type of business you should avoid. A repair guy (named Vik) came…read moreby to look at my AC system. He said the problem was the starter and said he could fix it for $460. While he was fixing it, I looked up the price of the part. It was $25. He was here for only 15 minutes. After the repairs, I asked him how much of the $460 was for parts and how much was for labor. He said about 50% for each. I then let him know that I found the part for $25. He responded that he doesn't buy the parts himself. So I paid $25 for parts and $435 for 15 minutes of work. Yes, I wish I had gone with another company.

The quoted price for a two-head unit with external pump was in line or lower than the competing bids, backed by an extended multi-year warranty as Mitsubishi Diamond Certified installers. Heat pumps installed alongside existing central air is not an uncommon request, but we had a great conversation with Brook on how we might update to a more modern system in the future, given our original(!) furnace's age. Side questions for him aside, we had a thoughtfully sized system outlined and quoted within a day, and scheduled within two weeks. Our experience with the installation was similarly great, with the team arriving promptly as scheduled and taking the care to put on shoe coverings moving through the house. Everyone was polite and efficient, bringing the plan to life and bringing us in early when there were onsite decisions to be made in our unique spaces. When an issue arose on the cooling not blowing as cold as we had expected, they were quick to assist with troubleshooting, and had it fully remediating within the week. Permits are still pending due to the Oakland backlog, but their lead electrician will also be onsite during the inspection process so I have no worries there. While our immediate need during the heat wave this Spring was cooling our living spaces, I have full confidence that whenever we go to multizone heating and cooling, Spot Free will be our go-to experts!

    Very easy to communicate with and book a quote. I received 3 quotes for our HVAC work:…read more- Spot Free: $21K - Vendor we used: $23K - Another vendor who we used before and were happy with but increased their pricing recently: $32K We decided not to go with Spot Free for 2 reasons. First, the heat pump brand was changed in the quote to one that we did not want (Carrier). We were replacing it due to leakage of carbon monoxide. This is obviously a safety concern for us, but also a peace of mind issue. We had discussed using Carrier at the site visit, but I was adamant to avoid it. Second, Brook mentioned that there was a manufacturer's recall on our existing 1-year old Mitsubishi heat pump (we have 2 zones with 2 separate units) and that we should pay him out of pocket to fix it. I was confused, because we received no information regarding a recall and typical costs associated with a recall are not paid by the customer. Furthermore, we hadn't experienced any issues and we're still within the warranty period from the manufacturer and installer. Brook said he had been processing a lot of recalls on units he installed and Mitsubishi was slow to send parts so it's easier to pay him directly for the repair. I contacted the original installer, who we had a very positive experience with initially, and they said there was no recall. I also looked online and couldn't find any information regarding a recall.
