Naturally, at the peak of a heat wave, my AC died and instead of cooling my home, it wound up circulating hot air to the point where the indoor temp was higher than the outdoor temp. BACC was quick to respond within Yelp and phone to schedule an appointment within a few days. At that point, I feared being put on a waitlist or flat out told no available appointments until next month. James came out, quickly diagnosed the problem, and immediately remedied the situation while recommending next steps. I'm now writing this review while enjoying cool air thanks to James and BACC! read more

Bay Area Climate Control is one of the best businesses I have ever dealt with -- in any field. Ryan and crew installed my HVAC system 2 years ago, came back as many times as needed to fully instruct me in how to operate the complicated programming both on wall thermostats and remote controls. It has worked perfectly ever since...until this winter, when it seemed a little unresponsive and was heating inadequately. Brilliantly, I waited until it was completely broken during a cold snap over Christmas before I finally called, crying "Help!!!" Ryan returned my call on Christmas morning within an hour, and when I described what was going on, he walked me through some trouble shooting, and got the heater limping along temporarily. The office was closed the day after Christmas, and Ryan was going to send a tech when they opened again. But that night it shut down completely, and in the morning I called and declared it an emergency, because of the cold snap. Even though the office was still closed for the Christmas holiday, Ryan came to my house within two hours of my call, and figured out why both of my heaters had quit at the same time. The problem was simple: dirty filters. He cleaned the filters on both units, reset my heating programs, and refused to take a dime! No charge! He just didn't want me spending another day and night in a cold house. I have never had an experience as efficient, courteous, and just plain old school: taking pride in running a business well and doing superb work. I recommend this company to anybody who needs their services. read more

We were able to make a quick appointment while we had family in town to get estimates for a variety of systems. Bill talked through some basics with my FIL and then had a quick phone call with me. At no point were they intimidated by our 1920s bungalow with plaster walls and ceilings. The crew was great, nice, polite, and communicated well. We had a couple of small snafus along the way but all was forgotten when that warm air started coming out in every room in our house. Overall, BACC was great to work with and I'm glad we chose them. read more

2022 update: I had another HVAC company do an attic and crawlspace insulation estimate ( I would have used Bay Area Climate Control but they're not part of the BayREN rebate program), and this other company told me one of the ducts installed by Bay Area Climate Control back in 2015 had been destroyed by rats and I needed to replace it ASAP.  I wanted to get an estimate for the fix from Bay Area Climate Control so James came out; He quickly diagnosed the issue (or in this case the lack of issues) - the ducts looked fine and he showed me pictures. James was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and continues to remind me why I turn to Bay Area Climate Control first for all my HVAC needs whenever possible. read more

I'd call these guys up again for 2 reasons, they give out appointments on a reasonable date and don't indulge in price gouging! All on the hottest day in the Bay Area. They sent out Jason, very nice young fella, who was able to diagnose the problem, fix it and give out tips on how to be self reliant with stuff like this. We had called on the hottest day and a houseful of 'work from homers' and BACC saved us, indeed! And yes, it's COVID times, how did I forget?! Jason came masked and maintained the 6' distance, he was very easy to work with. read more

Have hired several HVAC companies and they are the best I've had. Thank you! Would recommend Bay Area Climate Control to my friends. Good price, fast and nice service and responsive staff. Excellent! We regret we didn't call them earlier. Long story. My ac unit was down in the beginning of a hot summer (early June) . Have called another company (which is located in San Jose) to fix it but they kept delaying (from mid July to early August). They didn't show up even we confirmed the date again one day before and were being very rude. They kept saying they didn't know where the replacement part was. At last they said they didn't want to do the job after wasting us more than 2 months of waiting! At least we could get back the deposit... Being so desperate I just randomly yelped HVAC techs in the area to seek help and Ryan of Bay Area Climate Control responded very quickly. They arranged the checkup within a week. Though we still needed to wait for the replacement parts, the whole process was smooth. Brenda was able to answer the delivery date of the part. Nic the tech was very punctual and did a very neat job. My AC was finally repaired. The final repair cost is even less than a half of what the rude company quoted us. Amazing! Thank you! read more

I needed the AC/Heater thermostat fixed ASAP. I did a Yelp Quote and Bay Area Climate Control was the first to respond. It was a 3-day Memorial Day Weekend yet we communicated via Yelp. The next working day after the holiday, I made an appt and BACC was able to book me quickly. Nic, their technician, came, assessed the issue, and replaced the thermostat unit within no time. I am so relieved! They provided me with the best quote and are very professional and responsive!! Thanks Bay Area Climate Control for quick and efficient service! I gotcha in my Contacts now! read more

Derek & Keith came out to the house today to replace my underpowered whole house fan. They completed the work quickly and cleanly and I couldn't be happier with the new unit. This is my 3rd project with BACC... they've replaced my ductwork and my furnace w/ AC. The owner Ryan takes personal interest in every job and makes sure everything works right. Keep up the great work guys! read more

This review is long overdue since they came out in May to help us with our A/C mini splits that weren't blowing cold air. We would have been absolutely sweltering now without the A/C working in the recent heat wave. They worked super fast to refill the coolant and fix a small leak and made sure everything was working. They also thoughtfully wrapped the hoses in UV resistant tape to prevent future sun damage. Very thorough. This was a system we had inherited from the previous owners, so we didn't even realize it was still under warranty, but they covered it all. Big kudos for that. read more

Bill did an excellent job working on an affordable price with us. Salvador and Jesus did an amazing job installing our furnace and A/C. What was a 4 day job turned out to be less than 3 days. Their quality of work was excellent. They even provided great customer service by installing and training me the basics for how to work the Google Nest thermostat. I would recommend them across the board read more

I recommend Bay Area Climate Control. They are affordable and very professional. Our AC went down in the middle of summer. I called on a Saturday and they scheduled me right away. Nick came by and fixed it right away. He was very nice and professional. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Bay Area climate control. They were able to remotely guide me to fix a wiring problem with my new Mitsubishi heat pump that the original installer, who claimed had expertise in these systems, but clearly did not, could not fix after hours of talking with factory representatives. read more

ABC Cooling VS. Climate Control Heating In December I called ABC Cooling and heating to come and assess why only half my house was heating up. For a fee they came by and told me I had two broken ducts. The heating guy said they would schedule someone else to come by and give me a quote to fix them. A few days later another guy comes by and gives me a quote stating even though I have two broken ducts all of them needed to be replaced because my ducking is old and they don't make the parts for my ducts anymore. I asked how much would that be along with why I had to replace all of them. He stated it would be $475 a duct and I have 10 ducts so approximately $4750. I stated that $475 a duct seemed kind of high since I have another home which is about an hour away and I had to replace all the ducking in that house (earlier that year) and they charged me $250 a duct. He asked where it was and stated labor is much higher in the bay area and $475/duct is pretty much a standard rate. I went on to ask if he could just some how patch the two broken ducts because I did not want to spend the money to replace all of them. He went on to tell me that my house is old (built in 1979) and they no longer make those ducts and he would not have replacement parts for that and the only way to restore my heating throughout the house is to replace them all. He wrote me a quote of $4750 (which I have uploaded a copy onto yelp) and I told him I had to think about it. About two months later, I could not stand the lack of heat in my house and called around to get other quotes from heating companies. I called Climate Control Heating and asked the guy how much does it cost to replace a duct and he stated to me between $225 - $250 depending how long the duct needs to be. I made an appointment for someone to come out to replace two ducts. He stated to me that he his company had to do an inspection of their own before they just replace the duct. I asked him how much that would be and he said he would not charge me for that. That was great! The guy came out and inspected my place and said I did have two broken ducts but because the ducts were underneath the house it may require some digging in the narrow area of my house but he said he can replace the two ducts and quoted me a cost between $400 - $600 due to the location of the ducts and the extra work that may be required to dig. Needless to say, I hired him to do the work and while doing it he found a 3rd broken duct and charged me $650 instead of $600 and I was completely fine with that. He didn't try and sell me on some expensive package or (what I felt like the other company did) try and take advantage of me being a woman and quoting me SOME RIDICULOUS PRICE! I couldn't believe that ABC Cooling wanted to charge me $4750 for a job and told me there was no way they could just replace 2 ducts and all 10 ducts had to be done. When I got the next quote from Climate Control (I also have uploaded a copy of my final bill) he quoted me only what needed to be done and wow what a surprise they had parts that fit for my so called old house. And my heating works GREAT!!! Shame on you ABC Cooling! read more

Bay Area Climate Control - ABC quoted $4750 for 10 ducts when I only had 2 broken ducts. They claimed they had to replace all. Climate Control quoted $600 - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Hayward, California

Just had a tune-up appointment with Bruce. Our PG&E bill has been astronomical this weekend and we decided to see if it was a matter of our furnace being on the fritz so we called Bay Area Climate Control to come take a look and give it a tune-up. When Bruce arrived, he came in with a warm smile and handshake, ignoring my two annoying dogs barking up a storm at him. Before we went up to the attic where the furnace was, he noticed that our filters needed changing and made a note to do that after he was done with the inspection. We were of the mind that our furnace needed to be switched out, but after he was done, Bruce candidly said that our furnace was in fine shape and it did not need replacing. He did not try to up-sell me, and said that while our furnace was old, it was still good and we should only replace it if we just wanted new hardware. He said all this while playing with my dogs who were now his new best friends. At the end of the appointment, he replaced our two air filters (which was included in the price of the tune-up). I'd say I'd work with Bay Area Climate Control again, but I already am, we've already set an appointment for them to come back to give us an estimate on A/C installation for the upcoming hot summer months. read more

Search a chirping last evening and all night. I changed all smoke detector batteries and still hear chirping. I heard the noise near the air conditioning furnace register and thought it was the air conditioning unit that was installed last year. Called Bay Area Climate Control and they sent Nick. Nick was in my home one minute before he spotted the carbon dioxide unit on the wall near the chirping. He said you need a new battery. I had overlooked this unit on the as I was focused on the ceiling. The reviews were right. This company and Nick is the best. He did not even charge for the service fee. If I ever need this service, I am calling Bay Area Climate Control. read more

Bay Area was professional and got the job done right. We're thrilled with our new mini split system.

Confirmed appointment. No show, no text, no call, nothing. The text I got is confirmed 3PM. read more

Our thermostat stopped working this morning, and it's cold! The person who answered the phone was helpful and got me a same day appointment (on a Friday afternoon). The technician Juan was helpful and courteous and was able to fix it right away. Also gave me some helpful tips. We used this company for our ac install in the spring too and they were great and had the most competitive price. Highly recommend them. read more

My Nest thermostat went blank. It wasn't getting power, and when I charged it, the error light indicated the RC lead had no power. Another company came out and replaced a fuse for $200. The Nest again went blank a week later. I checked the fuse, and the same repairman came back out and got it to come back on somehow, then claimed it would be too expensive to troubleshoot the root cause, so it would be best to replace the heater and air conditioning with a new $14,000 system. I was reluctant to replace the system without knowing the problem. I got the same RC error on the Nest thermostat today. I called Bay Area Climate Control, and they sent someone to my house within 30 minutes. Within an hour the BACC repairman found that the switch box that holds the fuse was faulty. After a thorough inspection, he also found some other troubles--such as a failing capacitor in the AC. He replaced the box and fixed the other problems. Replacing the system would not have fixed the fuse box problem. I am glad I got a second opinion that saved me $14,000. read more

I highly recommend Bay Area Climate Control to anyone looking for installation of heating, AC, and/or repairs. From the first time I spoke with Brenda (cheery, polite, and really listened to what I needed and solved my problem - every time, she is great! The owner, Ryan, came to my home, on time, took his time to evaluate and determine the system I needed, explained why each item was needed, and provided me with a written estimate. Jesus & Salvador installed the HVAC in the amount of time they told me they would and cleaned up everything. I called in to have a new thermostat installed and some repair work performed. Daniel came out, arrived on time, was super friendly, very professional, and completely knowledgeable regarding the system. Additionally, he displayed the best customer service I have every had from any person who has come to my home to do anything. Overall, excellent company! read more

I just wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to you guys!!!! I am sooo happy that our AC is working because of the fix you did the last time. With the past week's heat, having the AC working is really the best solution for the week of the heat wave...We really appreciate your knowledge and expertise in the field. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! read more

Last November after battling with our furnace for the past 4 years we had Ryan (the owner) from Bay Area Climate Control come out and give us a quote for replacing our 20 year old furnace and air conditioner. He was on time and masked up per the Covid guidelines at the time. Ryan was very knowledgeable and professional. He clearly explained all our options, installation and the permitting process and answered all our questions. He was very courteous, straightforward and as a salesperson, was not pushy at all. His quote was competitive and after making some adjustments in the job scope and price we decided to proceed with Bay Area Climate Control. Two employees did the installation. They arrived on time and were very professional. Our small home, with the in closet furnace, presented a challenge with the installation of the filter box. The crew finished the installation as best they could but were unable to successfully install the filter box. We contacted Ryan with the details of the filter box and he stopped by to assess the situation. Ryan made some phone calls and found a solution utilizing smaller coils that would allow the filter box to be installed. After receiving the parts, Ryan came and performed the coil/filter box installation himself. He did a great job personally insuring the right parts were used and the job was completed to the agreed upon specs. We also had issues getting the permits from our city due to the Covid pandemic and everyone working remotely which of course caused delays. Ryan was diligent in staying on top of the situation and had the permits completed as soon as possible. Overall, we had a great experience with Ryan and Bay Area Climate Control. They took care of us and everything works great!!! read more

My AC broke down on one of the hottest days this year. We first went to ABC cooling since they initially installed our AC. We were told it would cost almost $5000 bucks to replace the unit (and install some new coils). I checked out Yelp and heard about Climate Control Cooling (Thank You LinLin L!) The Yelp reviews were right! Ryan came out within 20 mins of my call, checked out my broken unit, and quoted me 1/2 the price ABC was charging! Ryan squeezed us in for an appointment and was able to replace our unit without breaking the bank. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the different types of units (Carrier vs. Day/Night), and his prices were more reasonable and affordable than ABC Cooling. On the day of installation, Ryan was on time. He was also very efficient in installing the unit quickly. He didn't leave any mess and even stayed a bit to make sure the unit was cooling the house. You save us, Ryan! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Bill and BACC have been the most responsive, considerate, and reasonably priced after 6 quotes for A/C replacement, (despite controversial information from various sources). I've learned so much from the yelp! query precess, emails, sending photos, to on site inspections, and have never had such a knowledgeable estimator! "Knock on wood," if we ever have any HVAC issues in the future, Bay Area Climate Control will be our first call, and we'd highly recommend their service and expertise! read more

I hired them to add AC to our existing furnace system. They offered a very competitive bid and I hired them. The AC was installed on a mid winter Friday during the pandemic (supply chain delays, etc.) and that night the furnace quit working. I left a message expecting to be without heat for the weekend, but the owner, Ryan, called me first thing Saturday morning and came by to assess the problem. It turned out to be a faulty thermostat which he coached me through replacement. Fast forward a year or more ... my furnace blower started having problems and when I searched up service companies, they came back to the top of the list. Remembering they had installed the AC and they were so good to work with, I called them up. My blower was failing and they helped me through the warranty process for my furnace (original installers had gone out of business). My house is warm again thanks to Bay Area Climate Control! I highly recommend these guys for your HVAC needs!!! read more

Our furnace wasn't working properly. We called Bay Area Climate Control and Ryan was able to take us the next day. He came out and troubleshot our furnace. He replaced the circuit board thinking that was the problem and it didn't work, finally after several trial and error and a few days later we figured out the problem and he fixed our heater. Ryan was professional, honest, courteous, and communicative. We would recommend him many times over! read more

Really great service from Ryan and the crew at Bay Area Climate Control. Ryan gave us a fair estimate on a mother-in-law unit we just built in our yard. After comparing prices we decided to work with them because the price was actually very fair and the unit we chose was high quality. The crew showed up on time, they were professional, friendly, explained everything clearly. The installation was a nice clean job, the unit looks great and we are very happy with how it is working. I would definitely work with them again. Thanks for a job well done, Ryan and Bill! read more

I was in the market for a Mitsubishi mini-split ductless AC and heat installation. I spoke with about five HVAC contractors. Several were not familiar with mini-splits and a couple offered unrealistic estimates before I called Bay Area Climate. Bill came out to estimate and I could tell immediately that he knew his stuff so I made an appointment to install. Do to the pandemic, I decided to postpone the January date. Brenda was very helpful in arranging a schedule change. The installers, Derek and Antonio, showed up as scheduled and completed the install in the estimated four days. They both knew what they were doing and worked well together. I was pleased with the respect they had for my home and the care they took to find the least destructive way to install the equipment. As well as their cleanup. Now that it's been a couple of weeks, I can say that I'm very pleased with my choice of the type of central air to install and my choice of Bay Area Climate Control, a very professional and honest HVAC company. read more

Great work installing ac unit. Very responsive and a job well done! Not an easy install, but they pulled through!

I got a Brand New AC and heater system after reading the wonderful reviews. Infact we went with a big system throwing our currently working system thinking the new one would be more efficient and better. I was very much surprised to see the level of service. Initially after the system was installed the AC did not blow cold air. When I called them they sent someone and said its an issue with some settings which are not corrected. We believed and waited few more days and tried again to find not much cooling. Again when we called they said the owner needs to look at it. Almost after 3 months we saw the owner by when the climate changed. Again we were ok with it. The owner came and said a technician will come and go down and check all the wiring and ducts. I am now waiting from last 5 months and even after multiple calling thier support line our problem still remains the same. Infact our older system atleast performed unlike the current one. Dont get convinced by the sweet talks. We are almost close to our warranty period with no satisfactory solution to our issues. Worst of all we were told the house will not cool if it is 100 outside. Of course no one told me that when selling it to me?? Also if I cant use the AC on days when it is 100 what is the use of that system?? read more

One technician came about 3-4 times and everything he tried didn't work in fixing the heater. He then had his supervisor (Owner) come. He thought he fixed it, but it stopped working the next day. We called and they told us he wouldn't be back until Tuesday. We called on Tuesday morning after he didn't call us, and were told he'd be back on Friday. We had to call another company. read more

Our furnace was not working properly so our house turned into a December igloo. I was fortunate enough to have a service appointment scheduled for the next day. Nick came out and quickly diagnosed the issue which aligned with the diagnosis of the first company I paid. The big difference was Nick knew we desperately needed heat and didnt take the easy way out and simply order a part - he immediately jumped in and successfully fixed the issue as a temporary stopgap!! My house is thankfully warm again! I decided to order the part anyway since I knew it needed replacement soon. The rates were approx the same from the other companies quote except I awarded the job to BACC since I could tell they are legit and was in good hands with the technician. Highly recommend this company, they take pride in their work, are efficient and professional. read more

I have used BACC several times in my home and recently recommended them to my parents. They are always efficient, professional, and on time. They've always solved the issue and have excellent customer service. This review applies to smaller scale repair services as well as a complete replacement of both a heating and air unit. Most recently, Daniel helped my parents and really did a phenomenal job. Look no further if you want honest, fair-priced, reliable, and quality work. read more

Fast and friendly. Everyone I dealt with throughout the process from scheduling a quote to handling the install and post install was awesome. Everyone answered all my questions and concerns and handled me with care. I would highly recommend this team to anyone. Thanks for the service guys!! read more

If I could give him a million stars I would. We had the pleasure of having Keith as our guy who did the installing of the heater. Couldn't have asked for a better guy. He did his job and in the process explained to us step by step how to do everything and what everything means pertaining to the heater. We haven't had a heater in 3 years so this was all new to us. We thank you BACC for letting us have Keith. Keep up the great work and I OVERLY recommend this company! Great people from beginning to end! read more

Second time using Bay Area Climate Control First time was 2 years ago (Furnace tune-up), Ryan showed up in time, answered all my questions and provided recommendations to keep my furnace working longer Now we needed to move a floor registry vent to a different location (in the same room). Brenda provided a quote right away, the job was scheduled (a month later, they have a busy schedule), and the installer (Salvador) showed up just in time, performed the job professionally (cleaning up after the job), answering all questions and providing an excellent service Highly recommended read more

There are reasons that companies receive Diamond Certified status. I met one of those reasons a couple of days ago. It took Charles all of 5 minutes to accurately diagnose the issue with my furnace. (5 minutes because the unit is in the crawl space under the house) Several days prior I had another company look at the furnace & their technician thought he had resolved the issue by resetting the switch on a temp sensor without further testing. Needless to say I've found a new Go-To for any future issues. Take a bow Charles! read more

We recently had a new furnace and central air conditioning unit installed. From the front office, sales, service techs, to the owner, all have impeccable customer service and are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend. read more
