Jose helped us out without a visit, without charging us anything. He listened to me about the problem and told me how to fix it. And it worked! This is someone that you can trust not to rip you off. Next time we have any type of heating or appliance problem, I will definitely only call Care. Thank you Jose! read more

A/C stopped blowing cold air. Called Care, and Jose was at my house in less than 2 hours on the same day. He replaced a part and my A/C was up and running in less than 30 minutes. He even texted he was on his way over. Super nice guy, friendly and clean. Price more than reasonable. I highly recommend making Jose your first call if you need A/C and heating service. Thank you. read more

Jose came out same day, quickly helped us out and was all done in 30 minutes. Our issue was a trash bag had gotten sucked into the heater. Personally, I also like dealing with owner operated businesses - you call the number, Jose is the one that answers, and Jose is the one that came out vs. some of the larger providers who send you a junior tech who try to sell you on service subscriptions and are just following a playbook on an ipad. Would be happy to use him again. Thanks Jose. read more

They installed new furnance in 100+ year old house which never seemed warm enough. Can't believe the difference. They had the best bid of four and they even went above and beyond with some extra duct/flue work. Jose and Juan were both very knowledgeable as well as professional. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Our furnace decided to go out during a recent cold spell. I called Care and Jose answered promptly and arranged to come out within a few hours to troubleshoot the issue. When he initially came out, it appeared that one part was broken so he ordered it locally and was able to pick it up and return the next day to install it. Only to find out that it really wasn't that part but a small part related to that part. He called around to all of the suppliers in the area but the closest warehouse that had the part was in Southern California so it had to be shipped up. We endured a cold weekend in sweaters, socks, and hats, but as soon as the part came in he texted and arranged to come out the following morning. He arrived on time and was able to complete the repair promptly. He's definitely staying in my contacts list as the go-to guy for such matters. read more

Juan saved my Christmas. He changed my thermostat sunday Christmas Eve. This company is part of my support system. You are the best!

Great service from Jose starting from the time he picked up the phone from the first call. He provided a thorough examination & evaluation on 2 systems within the house, & provided very good maintenance information. He's also a really nice man. Would recommend 100%. read more

I needed a simple repair on a wall furnace. Jose respnded quickly and made the repair in moments. I was thrilled to find someone who would work on a wall heater, and who spent some time figuring out my own HVAC system. 5 Stars. Thanks Jose. read more

First of all he answered the phone, was able to make an appointment the same day and came to fix my problem without over charging. Was clean, prompt and courteous. read more

The weather is getting cold, so all HVAC companies are busy, but Jose took the time to actually answer the phone. It's sad, but many busy companies don't answer the phone, let alone return calls. He was able to schedule a diagnostic appt the next day. He showed up on time, and he was such a kind AND professional man. He took the time to explain the details of the issue so lay people like me and my tenant could understand. He didn't diagnose more work than necessary, he fixed the wire causing the issue on the spot! He advised of work that may need to be done in the future, which I appreciate. He's fair and has reasonable prices. I DEFINITELY SUGGEST THIS COMPANY! read more

Another more than satisfied customer x2 experiences. I first met Jose earlier in 2018 when he came out to fix my friends home in Oakland. Jose took the time to analyze the situation and managed to fix the furnace, without having to replace the entire unit. My friend's family was able to have heat during the cold winter time and it was refreshing that an HVAC professional did not overcharge and try to oversell. I took his card, based on the experience but had no idea I would need his services in the near future. Fast forward 5 months, and unfortunately my own furnace was acting up. I was on a service plan with a well known HVAC servicing company in the tri-valley area and during their inspection they noticed oil leaking in my unit due to age (1990s furnace). A sales representative was called out and they did not spend time to listen to my concerns and needs, providing a quote for what "they" thought was best for my family. Furthermore, they were only pushing one brand of furnace/ac (L _ _ _ _ _). Remembering the business card I had, contacted Jose to get a 2nd quote and he came out within the same week to analyze my needs, which included new ducting and provided a significantly more reasonable proposal. Jose took the time to listen to my family home needs, share his knowledge of various brands, qualities, features and how each would impact the proposal costs either up or down. He even helped in getting a fair proposal for work done outside of his scope for ducting removal (older home/asbestos removal). Not going to get technical on HVAC terms, but by working with Jose and CARE Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., we not only saved money, but the work was done more professionally and received more efficient/higher quality appliances/components (96% AFUE Furnace and Energy-Star AC unit) compared to the other proposal from the well known HVAC service organization in the area. Jose and his assistant were always professional, arrived on time and followed through the entire project all the way through city inspection. Thank you Jose! read more

Jose you are way above 5 stars! Thank you very much for doing a great job on our heating system and water heater. Your work is impeccable and your experience is beyond standard. From the very beginning you were crystal clear on the repairs and cost. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Your professionalism, honesty and reliability are admirable. Thank you, The Judge read more

Jose, the owner, is a super awesome guy! My A.C. conked out on a long w/e in the middle of 110 degree weather. I called Jose based on a friend's recommendation. He promised to be there the very next day. He was courteous, friendly and explained what the problem was with patience and clarity. I felt really nice talking to him. He is an honest and a genuine guy. He gives you a great price. I am going to recommend him to all of my friends for any HVAC repairs. read more

After being abandoned for almost 6 months of incomplete work from my previous technician, I hit the jackpot calling Jose, owner of Care Heating & A.C. It took Jose literally less than 5 minutes to diagnose my A.C. unit issue without any additional parts needed to be purchased. Jose fixed my unit in less than half an hour and discovered the issue was due to poor rewiring from my previous technician. I had to struggle for almost half a year without A.C. and heating that my previous technician (not naming company) could not resolve and he kept insisting that it was a rare part that was no longer in the market. To me, it sounded pretty far-fetched since my townhome unit is only a few years old and my Homeowner Warranty representative felt the same way. Jose was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and professional with his work. He took the time to clearly explain the issue and was genuine enough to share with me his recommended vacation cruises after I told him I just got back from vacation a couple days ago. Do not waste your time looking for overpriced, less experienced and corporate run Heating/AC repair companies. I recommend you give Jose a shot for a more honest, better skilled, faster service and expert in this field. read more

Didn't even get service yet, but like the other reviewer. So nice just to have a live person pick up. called 5 diff places 3 no pick up 2 don't work with wall heaters. Very attentive! I'm sure the service will be great. read more

Jose came out to give me an estimate for installing A/C to the existing heating system at my residence. He came the same day that I contacted him, which I really appreciated. He seemed like a very nice and honest person. For those factors, I give him 2 stars. I was excited about the possibility of him doing the job for me. But, he said that he would send me an estimate in 5-6 days and never did so. When I contacted him on day 6, he stated that he wasn't going to bid the job. When I asked why, he stated that he was just too busy. First, he should not have come to my house to bid the job if he was too busy. Second, when he decided that he wasn't going to bid the job, he should have contacted me, so that I could have called another company. Instead, he just left me hanging, never contacted me at all, and only responded after 6 days when I contacted him. Sorry, but this is poor customer service! read more

Jose came to our place twice to help with a heating issue. He's professional, courteous, and knows what he's doing. We purchased new thermostats for our electric heaters during the summer. When we tried to use the heat when the weather got cold, we discovered that they didn't work. The electrician who installed them didn't bother to test them. Jose came in and found that the thermostats were no compatible to our heater. He told us which type to get, and when we purchased them, he came back and installed them. I will not hesitate to use him again if needed. read more

We had the fortunate pleasure of moving into the Concord area mid June. We had just closed on a home that did not have an air conditioner in it. We've done ac free summers living in Seattle and thought - ok, we can do this. Nope. Nope. Nope. We closed on our house during a heat wave of 105 plus and I was 33 weeks pregnant. Enter Jose. I reached out to Jose on Yelp; he replied quicker than the other companies I contacted and even offered to come out for an estimate quicker (and on Father's Day / Sunday) than everyone else. Our first impressions were enough. Jose is a kind and knowledgeable person - he's good at what he does. He was able to give us a reasonable quote that included replacing our 27 year old heater and an AC. We constantly felt that Jose was going above and beyond. He really emphasized his desire to build relationships with his customers. Two weeks later, the ac had a hiccup on a hot day. It was still working but acting a little funny. I shot Jose a quick email - describing what happened. With no hesitation, Jose made time to come out the next day to take a look. He even stayed longer than he needed to and helped my husband install the Nest. He asks about my pregnancy and chats about his and our families. We like him not just as our HVAC go to but as a person too. We're planning to have him come back and update some more duct work before the baby comes. Highly recommend this knowledgeable and great to work with company. read more

After a less than satisfactory experience with getting proposals from two other highly-rated companies about replacing our "dinosaur" furnace and installing central air, we contacted Jose to get a proposal from Care Heating and Air Conditioning. We couldn't be happier that we did! Jose showed up right on time for the proposal appointment, and he spent considerable time examining the furnace room and all of the space in which equipment, piping or ductwork would need to be installed. He then talked us through some alternative approaches to meeting our needs and his recommendations. We're not HVAC experts by any means, but Jose took the time to make sure that we understood what the options were and his reasons for his recommendations. Based on our experience, I would have to say that Jose takes his commitments seriously. The proposal was delivered on the date he promised, and the price for the work was very competitive. I also asked that he bring along some documentation when the work started fully expecting that he would forget to. Instead the first thing he did and the day work started was to give me the requested documents. The work started on the date Jose gave us and extended over parts of three days. Removing an old furnace and ductwork is a messy job, but Jose ensured that the floors were protected and removed all the debris leaving the area as clean as it was before the work started. In fact, that was true of all the areas that Jose and his assistant had worked in. Jose is definitely a "glass-half-full" type of person. Nothing perturbs him, and he tends to look on the problems that crop up in an installation as an opportunities to come up with an ingenious solution instead of as annoyances. In our case, instead of removing the old furnace exhaust flue, Jose figured out a way to install the new furnace flue inside the old one. Jose takes pride in his work. He not only wants to ensure that he delivers the promised functionality but that the installation itself reflects that the work was done by professionals who care about appearances and economical use of space. Jose has earned our five star rating, and I am confident that anyone who chooses Jose to do their work will rate him just as highly. read more

On-time, friendly, competent, efficient, informative, fairly priced, local and a family business. Jose answered my call and got here as soon as he could. What could be better. read more

I want to thank Jose for the great work he did on installing an air conditioning unit in our granny flat. The installation required a great amount of creativity in a short time frame (guests coming next day with 90+ degree temps!). Jose did a fantastic job, at a fair price, with outstanding communication throughout. Thank you, from a very satisfied customer! read more

I could not be more happy with Jose! My wall heater went out and he did a great job at a reasonable price. The thing that made me the most happy was his concern with my family's safety. He explained the dangers of my old heater and fully explained the safety features of the heater he thought would be best for my home. When he was working he checked my house for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. He said since I did not have any he would install them for me. I took a quick trip to the hardware store and he put the detectors in the locations he thought would be best. He and his son were profession, courteous, and friendly. I found my heating guy and will definitely call Jose if anything else comes up. I will also recommend him to friends and family. Choose Jose, you will be in good hands! read more

Jose is truly one of a kind! He is knowledgeable and has superior expertise in his field. Jose looks after his customer's needs and fixes the problem "without up selling extras"! The compressor on our A/C failed and instead of "upselling" us into a new A/C unit that costs as much as a new car, he found a new compressor buying us time to research and financially prepare for the inevitable total replacement of a new A/C unit. He is punctual, honest, and is a person of integrity! Jose does NOT throw in the towel when the situation isn't rectified quickly, but trouble shoots until he fixes the problem! We highly, HIGHLY RECOMMEND his company to service your property, he provides the service that he would expect his own family to have! read more

Jose was a lifesaver! My heater wasn't working and he fixed it quickly and gave me the inside scoop on what was wrong. He is a very knowledgeable guy and prices very fair! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

So glad I got a second opinion on my HVAC system. First company I called was a large company that handles all of east bay. They literally spent 20 minutes n said I need to spend $2,000 to repair it, but it's old so I better spend $12,000 to replace everything. Jose really CARES! He took his time to diagnose my issue. He not only fixed the issue (due to crappy wiring from the last company), he cleaned up the furnace since he was already in there. He got it up and running without replacement parts needed, just fixed the lose cables. Also mentioned the furnace is only 10 years and it'll be at least another 10 years until I need to replace. What a refreshingly honest and fair company and guy! Jose will be my new go to for all my HVAC needs. read more

Jose made time for us even though he was crazy busy, was quick in the repair, and reasonably priced, and even found a gas leak that we didn't know to look for. Best of all, he's incredibly friendly and kind! read more

Thank you for helping my Dad get his HVAC unit working. I looked all over the Bay Area for someone like Jose. He was professional, efficient, and communicative. He came out for one visit and was able to get it up and running. His cost was reasonable. Happy new year! read more

Care Heating Air Conditioning is great!! Definitely the type of technician who you want working on your equipment. Extremely capable and honest. Got my heater going again within 1 hour. Went above and beyond and fixed a few problems I didn't even know I had. Very knowledgeable and believes in doing the job right not just doing it cheaply/quickly. I will always call these guys in the future. Thanks again!!! read more

Great service. Jose was at my home 30 minutes after my call about my furnace problem. Diagnosed the problem, made the repairs, and was done within 2 hrs. Fair price, too. Will defin8tely use Care Heating and Jose again. read more

My experience with Jose was excellent. He talked me through a variety of options to replace our decrepit furnace and answered my questions patiently. In researching comparable furnaces to those he suggested, and labor to install them, I can assuredly say that Jose's pricing is very competitive. Best of all, he really knows what he's doing and his work is outstanding. He and his son replaced our heating system in one day, taking a lot of care as they brought the unit through the house and hauled away the old one. They were delightful and I will definitely go to Jose with our future heating needs. read more

Jose was on time (early), helpful, competent, reasonably priced, and fixed our problem in 15 minutes. He called us back within 24 hours, even on a Sunday. I will call him again for any heating needs we need again. read more

Jose was great. He answered the phone early on a Saturday during the extreme heat wave and came out the same day to fix my A/C unit. He is an honest and ethical person in his presentation and a true professional. I am hoping to have him find a solution for installing a unit at my dad's house in the near future. read more

My heater would work intermittently for a short while, then turn itself off. Then it stopped working entirely. During the week of New Year, I knew it would be a challenge to find someone available to come out soon. After researching on Yelp and reading the excellent reviews, I called Care Heating. I was surprised when Jose called back the same day! He came out on Monday and my heater is back on before New Years Eve! I really appreciate the time he took to explain the problem, go out and buy the pump, and come back the same day and fix the heater! He also gave me advice on how to use the heater and program it for energy cost efficiency! I asked if he also worked on fireplaces and he also took the time to look at the fireplace and tell me what it needs! I am so appreciative for his professionalism, and Care to treat clients well without hiking prices. I am recommending Care Heating to everyone I know and I will be using Jose's services for my heating and for adding air conditioning to my system this spring! It's so good to have a repair service that is trustworthy. read more

I hardly give yelp reviews but this time I felt I had to because of Jose's excellent customer service and awesome job he did in installing heating and air conditioning for our house. We had just moved in to our house which had old furnace and no AC. Jose installed a new furnace and AC unit and did a very clean job within couple of days at a very reasonable price. We wanted to add another vent in our master bedroom and so we called him after almost 1.5 years after the installation and he did it for us with no extra charge. He also noticed himself that the filter was dirty and changed it for us. He is genuinely a very nice guy and will go the extra mile to please his customers. I would definitely recommend him for any HVAC work. read more
