Manny came by the same day we called. Gave amazing information and truly a professional to deal with. He took his time to inspect the basement where the furnace will be replaced and was definitely not a pushy salesman. Highly recommended. read more

Apollo was quick to return my call, helped set an appointment to check out the gas fireplace that could not keep its pilot light on. Chris came on time, was able to take it apart to diagnose the issue right away and was able to get it working in no time. He also explained the different parts and how they function very patiently on his part. Really glad to have reached out to Apollo! Very pleased with the service and fair prices. read more

I called and got an appointment right away. Chris came to look at it, told me that it was 70 years old but he could fix it for ¼ of the cost to buy a new one. They were very efficient and cleaned up after the job. Would definitely hire again. read more

Service was prompt and courteous. Technician Chris knows furnaces. Had right part on hand. Came prepared to fix my old furnace blasting heat again. read more

Apollo Heating & Ventilating - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

My furnace broke and got 3 different estimates, and Apollo was the best. Their service is not 5 stars, but 10 stars. John the installer was super nice, organized, punctual, and cleaned after finishing the job. They are very busy because many like myself truly appreciated their job. As it is top quality and gets the job done. Thank you Apollo you won a happy customer. Monica B. read more

Apollo Heating came to inspect a furnace and replace a thermostat. Scheduling was easy and Chris was in and out in a hour. Will definitely use again. read more

I contacted Apollo through a quote request and they were one of the first to respond. The gentleman who stopped by was super friendly and efficient. Unfortunately the issue couldn't be resolved in that visit since we need to tear down part of a ceiling to access the furnace (ugh, yikes), but he was really clear with what needs to happen, and didn't even charge us for the visit! If/when we need someone else to come by for HVAC needs, these guys would be my first call. Thanks! read more

Manny Sr. still taking calls and dispatching the crew. This week I called Apollo to replace a thermostat & perform a heater tune-up (fire up heater, vacuum, replace filter) at a rental and my home as well. After two separate service calls I know my five gas heaters will be good for a few more years. I just need to replace the filters and keep the area clean. Thanks again Chris & Manny Sr. read more

Excellent service. After furnace stopped working in early Jan, I called 10 different SF and surrounding vendors before Apollo and only they and 2 others actually called back. All 3 were booked out for over 7 days. The other two had to reschedule, but Apollo came when they said they would, gave me a repair estimate which included parts, and an appointment date to return after parts arrived. The other two told me no parts available for my 12 year old unit, and it was dangerous anyway and best be replaced. I called Appollo back, expressed concern about the danger aspect and the owner chuckled. He said they tested for CO2 leak and worn heating element and non issue found and added that if it were dangerous he would have shared; He assured me it wasn't, and his word was they main thing that keep him in business for 35plus years. Old School. Seem believable to me & so far so good. He added he'd come back in 3 months to retest and would recommend a furnace when needed, but it wasn't necessary yet. He came back, retested, all is still good; he's coming back in 3 months. Damn, that's cool. Highly recommend. -fabrizio read more

I cannot say enough good things about Apollo. Our furnace went out during a cold snap and we have a baby in the house. Even though Apollo was booked for weeks, they saved us! Manny and Chris are super smart and efficient, had the problem fixed in an hour and very fair priced to boot. Apollo IS popular for good reason, but well worth making them your number one go to. read more

Manny and Chris were very professional and got the job done well, which included subbing to a sheet metal fabricator. It was more expensive than I hoped it would be, but I'm happy with the service. read more

Called Apollo Heating and Chris came by on time the same day. Fixed the thermostat, evaluated the furnace and explained in simple terms why things stopped working in the first place. Terrific service and pricing from a local family-owned company in business for many years. Will use again when need arises! read more

Furnace quit working. Called a few places who couldn't help due to scheduling and brand of furnace. One recommended Apollo because of the brand. Apollo said they couldn't schedule until 30 days but to check if they got a cancellation. They called back the same day that there was a cancellation for the next day. I scheduled them for that time. They showed up early, immediately diagnosed the problem, and replaced the part right away. Price was reasonable, time to complete very quick. We have heat again after the coldest night of 2021! Couldn't be happier with their service!! read more

Recommended to me by a friend. Needed someone to come and fix my dads old heater. They were prompt and was very honest about what was needed. Quickly made the repair. Got my dad's seal of approval so definitely recommend them! read more

I called two days ago and they were able to schedule a time to come to look at my furnace that stopped working. I was referred by a family member that has used their services for over 30 years. We had two other vendors come for a consultation and shared with us the cost to install new heating furnace. Chris, the technician came on time, professional, and friendly. He took the time to actually open the furnace to assess the issue rather than telling us we needed a new one. He fixed it within 30 minutes of his visit by replacing a part. This business is honest and also trustworthy. We will be using them and also referring them for the future to friends and family. Thank you for providing us with your expertise and not taking advantage of our wallets. read more

Honest, skilled, fair, and easy to work with... I will definitely use them again. I called Apollo Heating (recommended by my realtor) to fix a broken furnace. Manny answered my call and explained that all good HVAC contractors are very busy during this time. His earliest appointment (which I accepted) was in 5 days. He took the time to discuss my furnace problem and apologized for not being able to look at my problem sooner. On the day of the appointment, John arrived at the start of the two hour appointment window. John is very experienced and easy to talk to. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a broken drive belt. He replaced the belt, cleaned the furnace, and replaced the filter. The price was very reasonable. There was no up-selling or replacing of unnecessary parts. I am impressed with Apollo Heating. The people I dealt with were experienced, skilled, honest and pleasant. Their pricing is more than fair. I can see why they've been in business since 1968. read more

Manny arrived right on time to fix our broken heater. We were expecting a few hundred dollars in repairs. Instead, he jiggled a wire, gave us some good advice, and refused to take any money for his visit. Apollo has certainly earned a loyal customer! read more

They're the Best. Known Sr. & his grew for 25+ years, ever since he was still w/PG&E. Let me say this. They do get "VERY BUSY" especially in the winter. There's a good reason why. So you do have to show some patience. They only do heaters & are masters to that craft. They DON'T do water heaters, AC, refrigerators, washer & dryers, coffee makers, toilets, etc.. You get my point. Heaters are in their blood. I've got some clunkers & they were the only ones able to work on them. I used them for all my homeowner clients. They're at least a 3rd generation family business. I greatly admire that. It's what this country is built on. They roll up their sleeves. Not a butch of stiff collars. Thank you M. Sr., Jr., C. May you & your crew be around for generations to come. read more

Have an apartment heater that needs minor servicing, as specified by PG&E. Sealing the edges of the unit and installing a filter. Despite the details woman who answered the phone said all work would be hourly. When I explained I was just hoping to narrow down a ballpark estimate for the building owner so i could get approval. Would it be 1, 2, 3 for a job like this? She became very abrupt. Told her I would forward info to the owner and call back. Today a man answered and said they only service single family homes. He also was abrupt. And claimed to not know why someone was willing to send someone out last week. Asked him who in our neighborhood would service an apartment size furnace. He said "We don't have a referral service". I would add they aren't very "service-oriented" either. read more

Just called to have my wall heater serviced (pilot light is out and heater hasn't worked in years) and Manny advised me to call PGE first because they are responsible for this as my gas provider. So, haven't used Apollo yet but already have a good experience with them which is not always the rule. Other companies were ready to come out and charge me at least $100 for the visit! read more

I had a PGE voltage surge that rendered my central heating inoperable so I called Apollo. Manny arrived right on time and assessed the problem in just a few minutes. He gave me a bunch of options on how to fix the heater in the least expensive way and in the end got it running perfectly for way less than I feared it would be. Manny is a super nice guy and great at what he does. I can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks Manny! read more

Flaky Had them out for an estimate, they never followed up with a quote Called them to get a quote, said they'd call back They never called Why would I trust someone to work on my family's home when they can't even provide a timely estimate? Looking elsewhere... read more

We had them install a new furnace and all new ducting. We got several quotes from different companies and Apollos was mostly in line with them all(a little higher) but they put in all rigid duct so that explains it. In the end, they were timely and most importantly, did a fantastic job. I could not be happier and based on the quality of the install am extremely happy with my choice. read more

As a realtor I deal with a lot of broken stuff on a regular basis for my clients. Not sure how much you can say about a heating company except that these guys show up on time when you need them and fix things at reasonable prices. There have been a few times where it took a couple days longer than I would've liked to get an appointment booked but it was usually during cold weather when everyone else's heater is also broken. But solid folks that I would recommend to anyone. read more

Furnace won't fire up. It's 40 outside and the furnace is out. DRATS! Freezing my furn*ACE* off I called up Apollo late one night and left a vm, and they promptly returned my call the next morn. at 8:10am! The first guy I talked to said that with the cold snap - they were slammed - and that he wouldn't be able to come out for a couple of days. I kindly said thanks, but I'll call around since I wanted to get it fixed straight away. He nicely warned me of the other types of scams and schemes that other repair companies try to lay on desperate people with broken furnaces. (fee just to come out to assess the problem) Yup. He was right. So I called back and set up an appointment later that night - figuring it was better to wait a few days and go with someone reliable than rush into something I might later regret. Fast forward to Saturday -- John showed up promptly within the window of time we agreed upon. He was pleasant, got straight to work, explained the issue (a malfunctioning valve), switched out the part and fired up the bad boy. He also replaced the filter - which was O. L. D. We were toasty warm within the hour. I'll be hiring Apollo to check out the furnace over at my mother in-laws house for sure! Thanks yelpers for pointing me in the right direction - again! read more

I had our old Furnace replaced with a New one. I chose Apollo Heating because they where HONEST! I especially liked the fact that they where a local mom and pop business. They did not try to pressure me in buying a expensive Furnace. I got two other quotes from two other businesses and they where trying to sell me expensive unnecessary Stage 2 Furnaces... with a high installation fee... Apollo Heating are VERY Professional and VERY Nice! Please consider calling these gentlemen up for any of your Heating and Venting Needs! I even stopped by today just to sat Thank You to Manny and the Boys for doing such a professional Job! read more

They came at the previously communicated time and they fixed the issue with the furnace within ten minutes. No complaints here. read more

Made an emergency appointment with Apollo Heating & Ventilating on Saturday, came earlier than expected and worked on our heater problem and fixed it within 30mins. Very nice and professional. Thank you so much! read more

Apollo Heating is my new service provider!! They were prompt with the service call, courteous & did the service for a decent/ fair price. Quality service companies are hard to fine in the Bay area. Thanks, Robert S. read more

I have been calling these folks for about 15 years for my rental property, and recently my home heater stopped working. Apollo was busy, so I called and got an unreasonable offer from another company. I paid their bogus diagnostics fee, and then waited for Apollo to come out and do the work. There are a lot of sweet talking operators out there who overcharge for work - good to be aware of that. read more

Apollo's field service rep, Manny, was very professional, quick to diagnose the problem and resolve the issue. Will definitely contact them again if we have future issues with our home furnace. read more

Used this company for the past few years on multiple heater repairs and the last one they came 45 minutes late and literally just turned on the pilot light in less than 10 minutes. The bill came and it was $130. I called for clarification and apparently that's the minimum charge. I was disappointed that as a loyal customer they were not willing to work with me on that price because considering - I think that price is a bit high. So sadly, they lost a customer when it could have been remedied with just a little compromise. I would recommend Apollo if you're ok with $130/hr. read more

If I had to describe Apollo Heating in one word, it would be "Honest". After PG&E red tagged my furnace because it was emitting high CO levels, I called several HVAC technicians to diagnose the problem. Two were completely clueless and suggested I need to reconfigure my ventilation laterally as opposed to through my roof. One other insisted I needed a new furnace. Thank goodness I called Apollo and spoke to Manny. They came out, looked at the furnace, cleaned out a plugged baffle and VOILA, the carbon monoxide test came out negative!! A new furnace installation would have cost upwards close to $5k. Apollo fixed the problem for less than $150. I hope I never have heating problems again, but if I do, I know I have their number saved on my smart phone!! read more

Replaced induction motor on our heater. Very professional and straightforward. Also helped clean up some air leaks at no charge.

HEAT! Glorious heat, that I will never take for granted again. We have used two other furnace companies in the past, but we are now going to call Apollo from now on. My heat had been sometimes working, sometimes not, to the point where I thought it was me going crazy. Every time I came close to calling Apollo over the last few weeks the heat would finally cycle on. Finally, with two straight days without heat, it was time to call Apollo. The very courteous tech listened to my description of the issue, and he fixed my furnace. Same day, fast, courteous, efficient, correct diagnosis, and reasonable rates. Apollo is now on my speed dial. Thanks, Apollo! read more

I have a 110 year old house. The furnace is at least 50 years old and has been the source of much angst and worry. a could of weeks ago it stopped working on a friday of a 3 day weekend that happened to also coincide with the coldest weekend of the year so far. I spent 8 hours trying to get it working to no avail. Needless to say, we all froze. Come 7-am tuesday morning I couldn't take another second of the frigid temperature so I started calling heating repair places. One after another I got the same answer, "Oh" usually said with despondency, "You have an old furnace, you say? I could be there in a day or two, maybe." It was frustrating and troublesome. Then I called Apollo. A friendly voice answered and as I explained the situation, the parts I replaced, the techniques I used the voice on the other end of the phone interjected, "Is your furnace pale blue and yellow?" "yes", I replied. "and does it look like this and that, sound like this, have this embellishment, etc etc" Startled and amazed I answer affirmatively. Then he asked how long I had been without heat and when I told him he said, "OH!! We will come over this afternoon!" They arrived a wee bit late but got right to it, replaced a part, found another small problem they said they could fix easily which would make the unit more efficient. Found another inexpensive part that needed replacing and then lit it up. Super friendly and courteous. Not too expensive. Very knowledgeable. I now have a warm home and happy family. Thanks, Apollo! read more

I can't say enough about the integrity, quality and timeliness of the work of Apollo Heating and Ventilating when it came to working on my old Fraser gravity furnace. What could have been a much more costlier job turned out to be a simple adjustment for them, so that the heater would kick in instantaneously. The thermostatic switch apparently wasn't generating enough voltage to activate the gas control valve on its own. Manny is my hero. The price turned out to be less than 1/3 of what was initially quoted from my description, and it was the lowest amount to begin with, which already had me excited. I called about eight other places that immediately tried to up sell me by either upgrading me to a new furnace or quoting me an amount I knew was extremely excessive. I believe some of these guys in the industry make their money by doing unnecessary repairs. This wasn't the case for Apollo. Would I recommend Apollo Heating and Ventilating to others to others? ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt! From this day forward, he's my go to HVAC guy. read more

I was planning to give only 4 stars because the replacement part (which he had on the truck) was defective, but of course that is the manufacturer's fault, not the repair company's. Service was efficient, courteous, friendly and the repair was accomplished quickly. I would call them again. read more

Rude service here! Avoid this place! They just want your money but not professional enough!

We recently had a furnace went bad on us during the coldest days before Christmas. Pretty much everybody was booked until after the holiday. Manny was able to come out within a few days and took care of a bad part which was the culprit. We waited for awhile on the day, but we knew the technician was overwhelmed by all deseparte customers. Overall, we are happy with the customer service, honest pricing (no price jack up during high demand for service calls), and efficient repair. We wiill use them again without hesitation. read more
