I highly recommend Apple Heating & Air. I decided it was time to get air conditioning and also upgrade my heating situation. They put two mini-splits in. Haven't really needed air conditioning yet, but it's lovely to set the thermostats on the mini splits for heating and not have to use my big gas furnace, which is expensive and doesn't have a thermostat. The machines are very quiet and very efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bobby & his team were very accommodating and worked really well with me and my two big dogs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The whole team is really sweet, and they cleaned up after themselves beautifully, which I so appreciate. Price was reasonable and everything was very straightforward. They got the work done in two days. They are very well-versed and heating and air conditioning and gave great recommendations as far as placements for equipment, etc. I'm very happy I chose them and would do it again. read more

I called for an estimate for a replacement unit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They wanted to schedule me a week and a half out to get one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I asked about a possible installation -- assuming they had a good estimate -- they said it would be over a month. It's winter and we can't wait a month for heating. Would not recommend a service that does not know how to hire more people and provide prompt service for something so essential. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also started texting me back which is completely unprofessional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I never consented to texts and I called you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So call me back and ask permission before texting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bobby and his team did excellent work replacing our old furnace with a heat pump. They dealt with some really difficult to access areas in our attic and under the house, but somehow still managed to get all of the equipment in place without having to create any new openings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of doing good work, the team was incredibly polite and tried their best not to disrupt us as we work from home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We received daily updates on their progress and they walked us around at the end of the project to show us the equipment they installed and the new thermostat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They even pointed out other, non-HVAC items that needed minor repairs that they spotted under the house and in the attic to make sure we were aware of them. We were so lucky that our realtor connected us with them and will be sure to share their information with anyone else in need of HVAC work. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great experience with Bobby and team.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They installed our air conditioning. They were were quick, communicative, and all at a fair price. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Bobby was great in helping me figure out what to do with my old furnace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He is friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job! read more

Bobby was a pleasure to work with when he replaced our old furnace with a new heat pump and AC unit a few years ago. When the heat pump's motor crapped out earlier this month (through no fault of Bobby's), he responded quickly and politely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He provided regular updates re the shipping timeline for the new motor, and offered to lend me some heaters in the meantime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Apple Heating & Air! read more

I highly recommend Apple Heating & Air (I know, the name has nothing to do with heating, but it's easy to remember). Here's my story: I had 2 other heating repair companies troubleshoot my heater problem for over a month with no resolution, and no heat (intermittently the heater went on and off, with only cold air coming out of the fan). NOTE: it's a very busy time of year as people start cranking up the heat for the first time in a year as the weather gets colder, making heating repair a somewhat seasonal occupation. Finally, a ND member recommended Apple Heating & Air. Our repairperson and owner of Apple Heating is a problem solver. I learned that he has 18+ years of experience (the other two repairmen who came each had only two years' experience). Experience matters, so like a detective he solved our heater mystery. I highly recommend him, and he does not overcharge--the cost of the parts + labor--very fair. And, I've since learned that heaters are a very complicated piece of machinery, with many moving parts.

I'm not sure what happened to the super-abundant number of super-positive Yelp reviews that used to be listed for Bobby and his company. I've worked with him for many years now and initially found him as a result of all of his many and only 5 star reviews! In any event, Bobby is truly great. He is diligent, intelligent, and kind. Yesterday he helped me by replacing the motor in our furnace, confirming that I correctly connected our Nest thermostat, and tracing all the wires to our A/C, Furnace, Fan, and Humidifier, reconfiguring where needed, and going WAY above and beyond in figuring out why the humidifier unit portion of our furnace was not working. This was no easy task, as was evidenced by our discovery that it had been disconnected by the installer when they apparently couldn't figure it out! Meantime, I'd been changing the filters to this disconnected unit for too many years to comfortably admit! :o I was SOOO impressed by the amount of time and work-arounds Bobby patiently and professionally tried to troubleshoot and then--most importantly--FIX this years-old problem. He checked all the wiring and connection points with his voltmeter, found where there were anomalies, investigated false starts, tried two different transformers (needed higher amp rating) to resolve a regular voltage and low voltage connection between the machines, and then added a relay. I sincerely doubt that many other HVAC repair people would have been so patient, diligent, or intelligent to figure out a really complicated problem that did not accord to the diagrams provided by the manufacturers. Yesterday we happened to have two contractors at our house at the same time, Bobby, and someone upstairs doing unrelated work. The other dude gave my wife the creeps, but Bobby's professionalism and kindness shone through and she really liked him. So there's that too. :) read more

Apple Heating & Air - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Oakland, California

Bobby and his crew are the absolute best. Quickly fixed my air condition unit, where others failed to fix read more

Bobby was super responsive, friendly, and an absolute pro. Got the job done ahead of schedule and under budget. Seriously, is there anything else you could possibly want from an HVAC specialist? read more

Bobby cleaned/serviced our A/C unit and our furnace, and repaired some ducting. He was prompt, responsive and reliable. We were very pleased. He later moved/replaced the ducting to our A/C unit in connection with an unrelated home improvement project. He has a very busy schedule and was kind to fit us into it at a time that worked for the rest of the project. We were very impressed and grateful when we couldn't get our furnace to work (turns out another work crew had bumped our gas line's emergency shutoff valve, and we couldn't figure out why the furnace wasn't working)--we texted Bobby mid-day on his day off and when he returned to his messages late night on a Friday, he took the time to text us back and call us to walk my husband through how to troubleshoot the furnace at midnight. We're grateful for Bobby's commitment to his customers. read more

I have used Bobby for several HVAC/heating projects at our home in Oakland and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Prompt, reliable and the service provided is second to none! I have gladly referred Bobby and his crew to any and all friends and clients that are looking for hearing and AC needed and all have been just as happy as we've been with the work that they do! read more

Bobby took the time to find a way to repair an old floor heater we had in our home and had a part fabricated for it to become functional. This is after another heating company told us they could not identify the heater model and would need to do a complete replacement. Also since the fabricator did not charge him for the repair, he passed the savings onto us! Appreciate the honesty, quick, and effective service and would definitely call him with any future needs. read more

Bobby is an absolute rock star! We called him out to solve a problem when the original HAVC company who installed our heat pump walked away from a problem they couldn't figure out (I have a different review for them:). Bobby came out and looked at the situation, then did a bunch of research and figured out what the original HAVC company had done wrong, ordered the right parts, and had us up and running for heat just as winter hit. He did this through the holidays and fighting off being sick himself. Thanks Bobby! read more

It's taken me far too long to post a review for Apple Heating. We hired them during a big remodel in 2019 to replace our old furnace and ducting, and add new ducting to a few rooms on the second floor that strangely never had heat. Bobby, Will, and Dave were fantastic to work with. They were very careful, clean, and respectful of our property and really listened to what my wife wanted in terms of vent placement. Plus they are genuinely nice guys and fun to talk to. The furnace works so much better than our old one and we now have consistent heating throughout our home. I highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC work. read more

I have been referring my old heating clients to Bobby for a few years. I have retired from my 40+ years in HVAC (and plumbing) and every referred client has reported back their delight with his high standard of care, competence and experience. read more

Bobby came out promptly, diagnosed the problem and offered options that were sensible and clearly explained. A real pleasure to work with. read more

All the outstanding reviews are well-deserved. Bobby assessed the problem with our furnace quickly (bad pump) and returned the next day to install a new one. Straightforward and honest, and an engaging personality to boot. You can hire them with confidence! read more

We have an old floor furnace and it went out during a very cold January. Bobby came well recommended on Next Door and we were not disappointed. Like the other reviewer, our fix required him to craw into an exceedingly cramped space. He found the problems, fixed them and got our old heater pumping out warmth in no time. He also took the time to identify a replacement wall thermostat (as our 70 year old one was hanging on by a thread). Fantastic service. read more

Bobby was able to get my vintage heater working within minutes! He explained what he was doing as he was working which was nice. The day will come when a new unit will be needed but Bobby has given me a few more months. I am so grateful to have heat again-Thank You Bobby!! read more

Bobby installed a new HVAC system for our Eichler. They were efficient and professional. He was recommended by our very experienced contractor as the go-to guy for new systems. read more

I was needing someone to do a tuneup on my furnace, and fix a duct. Bobby got back to me very quickly. He also texted me when he was on his way to my house. Very professional guy, and very easy to work with. He had to crawl into a very narrow space to fix my duct. No complaint at all. Did a nice job on the tuneup, and explained things to look out for moving ahead. Reasonable charge for the service. I highly recommend him! read more

Will and David did a great job. They worked really hard to get my furnace and air conditioner installed. They put down blankets to protect my floors and covered my stairs to ensure it stayed cleaned. They cleaned up after they were done. It was easy and really they didn't even need me to be here while doing the work. I highly recommend using Apple Heating & Air. Really big plus they are honest and will not over sell you what you don't need. read more

Bobby scheduled an appointment quickly. Arrived promptly and made the repair. Saved the day! Highly recommend him.

Just had Apple (Bobby) come by to take a look at a problem we were having with our home heating system. I can't say enough about how punctual (sent several texts with arrival updates), professional and friendly the service was. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for heating and air service! read more

What a relief to have heat again! Bobby diagnosed the problem of a bad valve/switch he didn't have the part in his truck but setup work for the next day. He's always on time and professional in explaining his work. read more

Great experience. I wasn't in a crisis so the 2 weeks to get them here was not a problem. Communication was rapid and clear. They gave me a time window and communicated within that window to give me the arrival time. Bobby was clear and knowledge, explained what he was doing and looking for, and solved the problem quickly and easily. He was very respectful of my house, keeping things clean, was always masked. No attempt to upsell , was very clear on pricing. He told me if things hold I don't need any service for several years. Now that is an honorable company. I am very impressed with Apple Heating. So much so I just sent their card over to my contractor to use them if he need Heating/AC help on any projects. I will definitely use them again. read more

If you need quality, efficient work with a fantastic attitude use Apple. Bobby, Will, and Dave did an amazing job replacing our old heater and installing AC. They came highly recommended and still exceeded expectations. They were extremely hard working, and always wore their PPE for COVID. They were professional, efficient, and phenomenal problem solvers (we had a couple of unusual challenges they easily addressed). Bobby and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. The job even took less time than originally estimated. I will never use anyone else after this wonderful experience. read more

Great job. Bobby and his crew did a very professional job installing A/C. Install was done well and very efficiently. All communications were professional and the timing was exactly as promised. I have had many HVAC firms give me estimates through the years but they were always very expensive and wanted to charge a lot more for small changes. Apple was extremely competitive, probably 30-40% less for the same unit and job. I will use them again when my heater needs replacement. read more

Bobby is a knowledgeable and courteous professional. I have used him now for two major Air Conditioning problems and his work and his service were exceptional. I have recommended him now to several friends and family, all who have had similar positive experiences. He worked quickly and efficiently, within our budget. Thanks Bobby! read more

Bobby and his crew (Will and David) did a great job installing a new AC unit in my hot, hot house! Bobby was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and honest. The work was fast, clean and at a competitive rate. I can finally feel cool on those hot East Bay days! I definitely recommend Apple Heating & Air! read more
