Their engineer ( Fletcher Tyler) and technician (Gabe Thomas) arrived exactly when they said they would. Both were very knowledgeable and patiently explained the process of installing a furnace. Gabe installed the furnace and after installation tried different settings to minimize the sound. He was very professional, friendly, neat and efficient. Couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

What was once a very good company has become one of the worst. Tried to schedule service and some additions to our air conditioner system that they had installed and they didn't even return my calls. One service person who came out initially told us that our system was not working because it was too hot. Evidently they don't believe that air conditioners were meant to cool us down. We once thought Atlas was a good company but whatever had changed has rendered them inefficient and unreliable. Will never use them again. read more

Great work. Very courteous. Completed the job that original installers could not do. Thank you for the.

Atlas Heating totally deserves more than five stars. They installed air conditioning system at our home. Their price was the best and their work was excellent, on time and on budget. I highly recommend them for all HVAC work. By the way, I inadvertently gave a review to different Atlas Heating so please disregarding that review. read more

Thank you guys so much for making my appointment so easy! You'll be my fist call if i need repairs in the future.

Raymond was awesome. Professional, efficient, and thorough.

My furnace was failing intermittently and I was referred to Atlas Heating by the company that installed the furnace. I could not be happier with their work. On the first visit they did a full maintenance visit and returned a few days later to replace a part that was leaking. The intermittent problem continued however and they returned a third time and narrowed the cause to an inexpensive switch and an expensive control panel. They ordered both but only replaced the switch which solved the problem and they returned the unopened control panel they had ordered. read more

I thought I reviewed them a year ago after they put a ducted electric heating system in my old home in San Francisco. They--specifically Chris, the co-owner-- were wonderfully clear and communicative about the options, steering me away from what I thought I needed to what he knew would work, and did a great job installing the system and working with the eccentricities of an old multi-unit building, and consulting me about choices as they arose. The workers were gracious and a pleasure to have on the premises, and a year later the system is working great. I recommend them highly. (I had first consulted more corporate companies, which were eager to install what I thought I wanted, and not helpful in advising me as Chris did that it wouldn't work well with my particulars.) read more

We've received forty years of great service from Atlas Heating. They have serviced our 1930s gravity furnace since 1980 and never tried to sell us a replacement, even when we asked if we should trade-in. When our system finally failed, the people at Atlas were immediately helpful, pleasant, informative, knowledgable and fair. Aaron thoughtfully evaluated our our options and made recommendations that seemed practical and reasonable. He obtained excellent prices and managed all coordination with the the electrician and asbestos abatement company. Rudy took careful measurements of our home, made drawings and offered suggestions to enhance performance without increasing costs. Gabe, Chris and Scott were what installers should be: experienced, professional, responsible, on-time, and well-organized. The job site was left perfectly cleaned each day. Excellent choice! B.

This is a fantastic company that has been in business since 1908. When they found out we were without heat for a month, the moved us up on the list to have a new furnace installed at a fair and honest price. Even the president of the company, Bob, came out to our home to check out our problem and to get us moved up on the list. Josh did the installation and was professional in all regards. He did a great job. I recommend this company highly. You won't find a better company to service or install a new furnace. David De Hart read more

Atlas installed our furnace in 1999, and we trust them completely to give honest and accurate advice. We had gotten a Living Social duct cleaning from a different company for a really cheap price. That company told us that our furnace needed reconditioning that would cost $640. They were going to give us a deal and only charge us $530 at the time of the vent cleaning. What a scam! We were worried, since there was a seven year lapse since the last tune-up by Atlas. We called Atlas and Paul S. came to check on the condition of our furnace. He was fantastic, checked every part and told us that our furnace is in great shape. He also gave us great information about thermostats and filters. He is the best, honest and professional. We'll be using Atlas forever and recommend them to friends and neighbors. read more

Courteous and efficient technician. Explained things clearly so even I could understand. Highly recommend.

Altas is very thorough and honest. Another HVAC company based in Walnut Creek told us our A/C could start a fire and the furnace could go out anytime. Without charging me, Atlas sent two technicians to inspect our system. They spent more than two hours looking for flaws or worn-out parts. Their conclusion was that our A/C was correctly diagnosed, but the furnace could last for another ten years. Their analysis was backed up by a third company. Hats-off to Atlas. read more

I've used Atlas for annual servicing of my gas furnace since for the last 3 years. They have always been efficient, trustworthy and on-time. This year JD was the technician and he was very courteous, conscientious and efficient. He called to confirm that he was coming, arrived when he said he would and completed the service without incident. I highly recommend Atlas and JD. read more

They showed up the next day and the serviceman was great. My AC is working again.

Had an installation 8 years ago, excellent excellent! service. Had some followup questions about a product and the manufacturer was horrible! Luckily Atlas was once again wonderful, professional, and prompt getting me the help I need. Highly recommended. read more

Contacted Atlas last week after I heard what seemed to be a leak or dripping sound in the heater. A serviceman was able to fit us into his schedule that same day. He opened the heater and inspected it very carefully and found the source of the sound. Thank goodness, it was a minor problem which he quickly fixed and also gave us useful tips in case the sound ever came back in the future. read more

We had a great experience having our furnace replaced with Atlas Heating and Air Conditioning. A different company originally recommended that our furnace be replaced and we got estimates from a total of three companies. Atlas was reasonably priced. The estimator Keith was very responsive and patiently answered a number of questions about various options. He gave frank assessments about what would be involved in a two-stage furnace, higher-efficiency furnace, central A/C in addition, or a heat pump. The installer Joe arrived right on time, worked all day, clearly explained our new thermostat, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. He also patiently answered my questions about maintenance. We're still waiting to complete the permit and MERS inspection but overall we've had a great experience. read more

I just had the most wonderful experience with Atlas Heating and Will Wagner. Will came to my house to give me a bid to replace my furnace that had stopped working. I was very impressed with Will's thorough inspection of my system. He went into the attic from a couple of areas, offered suggestions to make the heating of my home more efficient, and understood my need for an affordable heater. He was able to get my installation date moved up. He came and installed the furnace and made some changes to better suit my needs. His demeanor is very pleasant. He is very knowledgeable. The entire staff,, at Atlas that I spoke to was pleasant and very helpful. I would highly recommend this company if you are in need of any heating issues! Thank you! read more

My husband and I bought a home in April 2019 and we needed to get a bunch of work done. Atlas is one of the contractors we worked with. Atlas was easy to work with as far as scheduling. They did a great job installing the heater. They were very responsive to any concerns I had. Atlas has come out twice since then. Once they came to adjust the air flow going into different rooms at my request. The second time they came because I noticed an odd smell coming from the heater. It turns out that we just needed to change our filter the second time. Both times Atlas was incredibly accommodating and came out to our house right away. Every worker I have met has been very kind and professional. I would highly recommend Atlas. I am so glad that we used them to install our heating system. read more

Atlas just finished installing a new HVAC system into our 1940's Oakland bungalow. Keith did great on getting us started/working with us in the beginning. Will and Gabe went above and beyond for the install. Everyone was proffessional and responsive. They even added lighing and a switch under the house to make future access and maintenance easier. I have already recommended Atlas to my friends. Excellent service. read more

Atlas recently replaced my old furnace and ductwork in my home. The old furnace was 34 years old and had a cracked heat exchanger, among other issues, totally unsalvageable and needed to be replaced. The ducts were in poor shape as well with loose and dirty insulation drooping down in the crawl space beneath my home. I brought a few companies out to give estimates, including the home warranty company's vendor, which would have been mostly covered. Atlas had the best online reviews, and they did a very thorough job, starting with the estimate. Zack Turner built a thermal model of my home, with the layout, dimensions, and materials, in his computer so he could make the best recommendation possible for the system that I would need. Zack was very knowledgeable, friendly, answered all of my questions and gave me an estimate on the spot. I decided to go with Atlas because the consultation went so well and they had the best reviews. Even though the home warranty company would have covered most of my costs if I used another vendor, that company had terrible reviews, horror stories on Yelp, and lied to me about the cost of permits going up, which I confirmed was not true with Oakland permit dept. Because of that, I chose Atlas for their superior reputation, and they worked within my budget, and promised no hassles. Once I agreed to move forward, Atlas sent Zack and Kevin out for a pre-site review. I liked Kevin too, because you could tell he was really experienced, knew what he was doing, and he could explain everything in very direct and simple terms. Kevin even offered to hang my new furnace up and out of the way, unlike my old unit which was in the center of the crawl space, and made it a tangled mess of wires, ducting, and gas lines. Kevin's recommendation made me really happy because it would help me clear and reorganize the crawl space in the long run and put the system in a dry, secure, space, and out of my way. The installation team was a couple of young guys who did a really great job. They got to work removing the old ducts and furnace, and the bolted in the new system, rerouted my gas lines, insulated all the ducts, and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. They even pointed out quite a few concerns with my electrical work and dryer vents that could cause a hazard for me, so I appreciated all of the things they pointed out, which I would not have noticed on my own. The whole team did an outstanding job. I am really pleased with Atlas, and they lived up to their high reputation. read more

Could not recommend them more. My heater is pumping out heat once again. My house is WARM!! Aaron was as professional as you could ask for: on time, polite and fast, fast, fast. If you got heating problems, call Atlas. You won't regret it. read more

Our furnace was working great this winter... and then it wasn't. It still made some noise, but the main fan never kicked in, and it wasn't heating up our place. I called up Atlas, and made an appointment for a furnace tech. I originally picked them because I was looking through a Yelp review for a different place: the reviewer said they were unhappy with that place, and ended up calling Atlas, who did a good job. Ian, the furnace tech, arrived right in the middle of the appointment window, and called me about 10 minutes before he showed up. I described the problem, and he said he was hopeful that it might be a relatively simple fix. Our furnace is only accessible through a crawl space, but he went right down there and started to check it out. After just a few minutes, I heard the fan start! A little bit later, Ian came back and said that he tested everything, and the only problem was that the blower fan's starter capacitor was bad. It would be a quick fix as soon as he could get a replacement capacitor of the same type -- which he thought he might be able to do the same day. He called up later on, and said he did have the replacement. Showed up again about ten minutes later, and about 10 minutes after that he was done. We tested the system, and everything is nice and toasty again. Our furnace is getting a little bit old, and we'll probably have to replace it before too long. But, it's nice to be able to get some more use out of it for a few more years. When we do have to finally replace it, I'll definitely be calling Atlas. Five stars because: A) Was able to fix the problem on the same day of the appointment -- that's the main thing, right? B) Price was reasonable. C) Ian was able to test the rest of the system, and let me know that everything else was working fine and looked fine for now. D) Everyone I dealt with was friendly, polite, answered questions no problem. It would have been nicer to get an appointment slightly quicker, but I know this is peak furnace repair season. read more

I never got around to paying an invoice for $182. Six months later I called to make the payment and apologized for the delay. I expected an attitude but instead received a very sincerely appreciative attitude from the woman who looked it up and took my payment. Definitely calling them for service in the future. read more

I recently had Atlas replace my furnace and and install an air conditioner in my home. Will gave me the estimate, described in detail what work was needed and delivered a very competitive price for the project. He is very detailed oriented, arrived on time(!) and introduced me to his teammate,Josh. The two of them did the work in the time they said they would, cleaned up all of the debris and boxes and left the place cleaner than when they started. They are very approachable and answered all my questions and are available for follow up adjustments if I need them. You won't regret hiring this company! Pleasant, fair and competent. read more

The Atlas team was great. We had a mini ductless split installed and the process went just like they said it would. The project manager, Eric, was always available to answer questions and even stopped by on his weekend to make sure everything was runnjng smoothly. The quality of their products and services is top notch. This has been a real quality of life improvement. It's nice to be able to control the temperature in our unit. read more

Greatest decision I ever made! They (I should say Enrique and his partner) replaced my furnace and installed new air conditioning!! I met with numerous companies but in the end I felt most confident with Joey. He pointed out the need for an additional vent and return. However he recommended a smaller unit. There are a lot of shifty characters out there. Be careful!! The prices went from very very low to extremely high! Alps was in the middle and like the three little bears - just right!! read more

Our A/C died during a heat wave. My husband works at home, so we were eager to get the work done ASAP. We called many companies my friends recommended, but none could come for a week or more. I asked them for suggestions and ended up at Atlas. I am not sure if anyone else would have been cheaper, but we were very happy with Atlas. We got a next-day appointment. In addition to being on time, James was very knowledgable. He used his time well. Perhaps best of all, he patiently answered my husband's myriad questions about the work and system maintenance. I would definitely use Atlas again, and have already recommended them! read more

I read all the great reviews and even had some positive referrals from acquaintances. I called and was able to schedule a convenient appointment. I was calling for air conditioner repair and not a replacement. I made that clear in the call. The technician came out did his tests on air conditioner and the temperature of the air it was sending out to the house. He stated he wasn't going to fix it and that it was not something that could be fixed. He stated the compressor was about to go. If I wanted I could call the office and get a quote on a new air conditioner. "I have nothing to do with sales." -technician. read more

Ugh - needed service on dead furnace. Company responded they couldn't schedule a visit for five days. These are the times that count -consider the service aspect when considering this company. read more

Our heater developed an unexplainable high pitch whine which worried us. We called Atlas and the supervisor, Rudy, came over on short notice. He examined the furnace and detected and quickly fixed the problem. read more

Atlas were great. We had a forced air heating system fail. Got an appointment right away, with a flat rate inspection fee. The engineer found the problem within 20min and had it fixed with new parts within an hour. They were knowledgeable, reasonably priced, friendly & very willing to give free advice and tips on keeping our system in good working order. Would definitely recommend Atlas. read more

Atlas installed a new furnace in our home last week. We were very pleased with their performance. The guy who did the installation, Will, showed up.promptly at 8am, explained everything he planned to do, consulted with us when choices had to be made, cleaned up afterwards, and finished the job in one day. We were very impressed. We also were impressed by Fletcher, who did the estimation. He was very thorough and patient. And his estimate was considerably lower than those we got from two other companies. We will recommend Atlas to our friends and neighbors. read more

We had a great installation of a new furnace replacing an original 1936 gravity. The crew was experienced , knew what they were doing and were very clear in their advisements to us. These guys were into the project and did a great job. The manager and the person who set up the job are professional, friendly and responsive. And we now have a modern heating system read more

Wish I could rate zero stars. I contacted Atlas to fix the mess a contractor made of our HVAC system. The tech that came out was really nice but said it was beyond his scope, so he'd have the owner and one of the owner's sons come out. Well, the owner and one of the sons showed up on the day of mapping my HVAC system. After finishing for the day, the two said they'd have to come back another day to finish. After repeated calls, which were not returned, they never came back. I later ran I to the original tech who'd helped me and mentioned the situation. He was surprised, took down my info, and said they would be in contact. Still didn't hear from them. Atlas, if you didn't want the job, just say so. If it was more complicated than you could handle, at least have the decency to communicate that to the client. read more

Since the last service call, I have been contacted by the management who is very considerate enough to resolve my early issue with the charges of the service call. I have been treated very professionally and fairly to come to terms that the technician had mistakenly quoted me a higher repair category and therefore the reason for the mis-pricing in the first place. The charges has since been adjusted very fairly and with total professionalism. It really shows that the owner cares about their business and their customers. read more

I have a very old cold air gravity heater (circa 1930's) that was made by Atlas and so I call them for all heating problems. I am trying to replace my old thermostat and had such excellent help from Rudy that I am actually writing this review. He steered me towards the correct thermostat, counseled me on getting new vents built, replacing old vents, and on cleaning options. He was kind, professional, extremely patient, and knowledgeable. Amazing service again. (I have had people from Atlas come out twice before in the last 20 years to fix and check my heater) I highly recommend this company. read more

I was referred to Atlas by a family friend. Called them to make an appointment for AC service maintenance on Saturday. They told me the cost will be $140 for the AC service maintenance. I asked what kind of services will be performed as part of job, the lady who answered the phone did not know about it. She said one of their technician will call me back later that day to explain about the service, but I did not get any call back from the technician. I figured out maybe because they only open half day on Saturday. On Monday morning I got a call from Atlas and I made an appointment to do the service maintenance. The service appointment was scheduled for friday between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. I have requested the technician to call me when he was about to arrive, but I did not get any call at all so I had to wait at home for the whole morning. Finally the technician (Chris) arrived around 1:00pm. He replaced the air filter and replaced the batteries of my thermostats. After that he went outside to check the AC unit. He mentioned that the capacitor needed to be replaced and he had the component in his van. He quoted me $250. I told him that I have home warranty and I did not want to replace the component now since it is not broken. I mentioned that when the unit failed it will be covered by my home warranty. He insisted that this kind of wear and tear will not be covered by home warranty. But I know 100% that my home warranty covers the wear and tear. So I rejected his request to replace the unit. He seemed not to happy about it. Later on he tried to sell me the 2 year service maintenance so that I will pay cheaper than $140. But I also declined his offer. I mentioned to him if I am interested I will call the office directly, he told me the price will not be the same. If I purchased through him it will be cheaper. He tried to upsell the services. Note to the business owner: please do not give comission to your technician based on how much services they can sell to the customers but rather reward them based on the quality of service they performed to the customers. So overall I did not have a pleasant experience with Atlas. With the amount that I paid $140 only for about 40 minutes of work. They replaced the air filter (maybe cost about $10 -$15), replaced the batteries of my thermostats (I had to provide my own batteries!) and inspected the AC unit outside. I think it is way overpriced for that kind of job they performed. I can do it myself next time. Will I call them again next time? Definitely not! read more

I needed to replace my 20+ year old furnace so I sent out a request a quote to 3 different companies for estimates. I can honestly say that Atlas did the most thorough inspection in terms of understanding what furnace I actually needed for my house size and also took into account cost. Consequently they also ended up providing me with the most affordable quote! The swap out process was very smooth and fluid and my new furnace works great. They also were very knowledgable in terms of letting me know what to expect next in regards to the inspection process. The only issue I had was that the inspection company ended up canceling our appointment the day of, after I already took a PTO day and could not reschedule for another 2 weeks out. This was pretty frustrating but since this was not Atlas' direct fault (they use an outside vendor to conduct the Duct test) I will not hold it against them. Otherwise positive experience throughout and I would recommend. read more
