I had to replace a very old gas furnace in my home. I received a very high quote from another HVAC business based on the age. I like to stay local, so I contacted Golden Bear HVAC. The quote I received from them was much more reasonable. They did not try to add extra fees just because of the age. There was also no sales pitch or them trying to get me to enter into a service contract. The service techs from Golden Bear (Alberto and Daniel) showed up on time and were very respectful of my home. They always wore booties and completely covered my floor for protection. They worked diligently and completed the job in the time frame I was told. I received timely estimates and receipts from Bertha at the main office via email. She was very responsive to all of my requests and questions. I received text messages with updates and arrival times to include a picture of the technician. I am more than satisfied with the new system and I will continue to use Golden Bear in the future for all of my HVAC needs. read more

Replaced a furnace with a heat pump. Owner shows up for quote and then never showed up to the house despite multiple installation problems. I think it depends on which tech you get to do the installation. Quality was not there in the workmanship. read more

I recently used Golden bear to install a new HVAC system in my condo. TK the owner was very professional as well as the technician that came out to install the system. They were on time even actually early professional, efficient and clean.. They didn't outstanding job in taking my old system out and then install installing a new one.. I would highly recommend this business. read more

Full HVAC installation and did a great job. Also assisted with inspection and worked with us on the quote to meet our budgeting needs.

Golden Bear does not provide reliable customer support. They installed a new HVAC system in our house earlier this year and that process was fine. However, their subsequent customer service and follow up has been poor. It has been more than two months since we asked for an estimate/proposal on some fixes and updates and despite following up with them, Golden Bear has not provided the promised proposal or any useful follow up. read more

The two things I like best about Golden Bear are: 1) Tamim took a very thoughtful and provessional look at our particular situation and recommended a heat pump sized to our situation, with a damper that shuts off the upstairs ducts if appropriate. This is probably not the solution he will recommend for you, which is as it should be. 2) I found the Golden Bear quote to be significantly lower than the other heat pump vendor I interviewed. Every other characteristic were fine too: timeliness, courtesy, professionalism, communication... By the way, we discovered Golden Bear through Quit Carbon. If you want to replace your gas appliances with electric, Quit Carbon should be your first call. read more

Insanely impressed by this company. They were professional and efficient from the start. I was so hesitant and scared to move forward and I am so happy I chose this company to do the work. From dealing with TK for scheduling and quoting to the on-site work done with the employees, nothing but professionalism and good quality work. They didn't leave until we felt comfortable and knew everything we needed to know about our new system. I'm even had to be at work all day and I had a play by play thru out the day of the progress! Hands down amazing company read more

I had my AC mini-split heat pump system installed about 2 years ago. TK came by for an inspection and provided a free estimate. After agreeing to the quote, we scheduled a date and his team came by to install the system. The heat pump has been working well since then, providing adequate heating or cooling. Took about 2-3 days to install the 3 ceilings mounted mini-split and outdoor unit. read more

Golden Bear Heating and Air replaced our old gas furnace with a new electric heat pump system. We highly recommend them. They did a great job, were very friendly and helpful, did exactly what they and their contract said, and followed through to the successful finish of the project.

We have lived in an Eichler house for 35+ years with a gas furnace-- which was now on its last legs. With the price of our gas bill going up and the toll gas takes on the environment, we wanted to replace the gas furnace with something electric. But we didn't know how to get started and how to find a reliable contractor. Here is what we learned: Step 1. Contact QuitCarbon.com QuitCarbon offers FREE guidance and advice! They quickly set up an appointment to talk with us about our needs and questions; reviewed electric energy choices; and created a detailed custom 10 page plan, including price ranges. I began to understand words like "Electric Heat Pump for Space Heating and Cooling". Step 2. Ask QuitCarbon for a referral to a contractor. They referred us to Golden Bear Heating and Air, which is a family owned local business. Tamim (aka TK) came to our home and explained the options for replacing our gas furnace with Bryant Heating and Cooling systems including--an outdoor Heat Pump; the Air Handler in a closet; and a suggestion that we consider a compact High Wall Unit, which is a compact heater/cooler linked to the Air Handler. In other words all three units work together. Step 3. Golden Bear submitted a proposal to complete the work, with a quoted price. We asked QuitCarbon to review the proposal. They replied the same day with assurances that "Bryant is a highly respected brand with superior controls; the scope of work looks good; and that it was a great price for a significant comfort upgrade." TK gave us an honest quote, with explanations of options, and accommodations to our requests. Step 4. Golden Bear's very knowledgeable staff, including Angelo and Pablo Sr, completed the job in 2 days, and TK came back after the installation to go over how to set up the thermostat, and how to maintain our new units. Don't wait! -- you can have a warm home in the winter, and a cool one in the summer using the latest in climate friendly technology. read more

I would highly recommend Golden bear heating TK, Pablo and his team are just amazing. Tk was easy to work with. He gave me options , I knew what I wanted and he gave me the best price in town. You really do not need to get multiple quotes. Just go with TK. He never asked for a deposit or down payment. He is just a super nice guy. In regards to workmanship. Pablo and his team did a great job. He explained everything in detail. The team showed up on time each day. The best part was they cleaned organized everything before they left for the day. TK was available on text all day if I had questions Sameer read more

Great service. Very responsive and prices are definitely reasonable. Always answered my questions and approved their professional services . Highly recommend. read more

(Finally got some time to write a summary for the episode.) tldr; You would like to hire capable, responsible and honest people. Golden bear is none of these. Don't be fooled by Yelp's ratings like I was. Read my story before you decide to use them. Find a qualified installer from the manufacturer's web site and choose one with good Yelp review. You won't waste time and money like I did. I hired Golden bear to install HVAC and tankless water heater. For the HVAC, one of the register is falling out. For the water heater, Tamim asked me to pay the full amount before the job was done. They water heater didn't work because they didn't install the check valve. Tamim refused to fix it nor they had any idea what was wrong. I found the issue and told them. Tamim refused to admit it. Instead, Tamim used the manufacturer's 10 year warranty to threathen me and ask me to get his trust. Tamim claimed I bad mouthed him on Yelp. He admitted that all I said was true. The full version: I hired a real prefessional to fix the installation. He also identified many other issues. He was shocked that the work was done so poorly. Following is his testimony: **************************************************** Original installation was performed with isolation valves upside down. The unit would not be able to be isolated in order to perform annual maintenance required. The flexible gas line installed only supported a maximum of 120,000 BTU's with is not sufficient for a 199,000 BTU unit. I removed the 1/2" piping and flexible gas line and replaced it with 3/4" gas piping and a flexible gas line. The dedicated return line was not installed with a hose bib to bleed the system properly and also did not have a check valve to prevent crossover. I installed a hose bib before the check valve so that way the system can be purged when needed. The condensation line did not have a air gap installed which can prevent the system from backing up inside the unit and also so the condensation can flow freely. The condensation line is also dripping directly on the the concrete near the foundation without any type of drainage or condensation neutralizer. ***************************************************** I attached a photo to show the issues. The manufacturer's manual clearly tells how to do it correctly. Golden bear didn't follow the instructions. Besides the incompetence, Golden Bear didn't work like professionals. They broke their own words frequently. They blamed others for their mistakes. They wouldn't admit that they were wrong after seeing the evidence. Golden Bear didn't test the water heater after the job is "done". I found that they didn't install the gas meter. Tamim told me that's not their job and I should contact PG&E. I had to call Tamim again to tell him that the city said it's your job. Tamim sent Pablo back to install the gas meter. Pablo also tested the water heater. It took a long time to get hot water, which according to Pablo was normal for the first time. The water heater didn't work reliably. Pablo came back with a manual and tuned some parameters. Pablo told me that they didn't have the correct manual when they installed the water heater. It still didn't work. I called / texted Tamim multiple times before he agreed to send Pablo again. Pablo was confused what's wrong for a while and eventually concluded that the hot water line and return line needed to be swapped. Pablo turned off the return line as a temporary solution and said he would come back tomorrow to fix it permanently. Tamim called me the next day saying that Pablo was not coming because they were busy with other projects. I agreed to postpone it. After a month, I contacted Tamim again. He scheduled it for next week. Didn't show up. Tamim apologized when I pinged him and rescheduled one week later. Didn't show up and didn't reply to my text. I complained. Tamim said he won't do it unless I pay him $140 per hour and the job will take 2-3 hours. He didn't even know it's caused by the check valve. Golden bear claimed that it's my general contractor's fault because they marked the water lines wrongly. I hired a plumber to swap the lines. The plumber was confused with the job. He did it anyway. Of course it won't fix it. Silly me that I believed Golden Bear. We figured out that the real culprit was that Golden Bear didn't install a check valve on the return line. I called Pablo, who confirmed that they didn't install the check valve. Golden bear didn't take action, not even an apology. I noticed the falling register and sent a photo to Tamim. No response until he saw the Yelp review. Tamim used manufacturer's 10 year wanranty to threathen me. I called him. Tamim showed no intention of fixing the falling out register, nor apologized for the poor job. He only cared about the Yelp review. He even asked me, a paying customer, to get this trust before he was willing to work with me again. read more

This company keeps delivering!! What an amazing job they do I would recommend them to anyone in the need of HVAC. I just recently had an issue with my unit not blowing cold air and Ricardo came out and fixed the problem! This guy knows his stuff and is super professional, TK is lucky to have him on the team! Keep up the great work guys! read more

I called Golden Bear to troubleshoot a furnace that kept shutting off after 15 minutes of run time. Ricardo came over, and he figured out that my recent roofing contractor had fastened the furnace roof vent too tightly to the vent pipe thereby restricting the exhaust flow and causing the furnace to shut down. A simple fix, but nobody prior had figured it out. It's a lesson to make sure that when a new roof is installed that the roof vents need to be inspected when finished to make sure they still have proper ventilation. read more

TK and his entire Golden Bear Heating + Air crew are wonderful to work with. We had a 53 years-old gas HVAC system in our little old Willow Glen home (so, down in our tiny basement) that needed replacement and upgrade to a modern Heat Pump electrical system (to run off our solar panels). TK came and scoped it out for us and showed how they could save us significant costs using our existing electrical wires and panels - amazing! They were very fast and completely, highly professional with everything. The city inspector identified one thing that the current city codes added to the job - Rick, one of the Golden Bear crew came out, figured out the right path and fixed it quickly. If you need an HVAC Heat Pump upgrade these folks are GREAT! read more

Tk showed up to do the estimate and everything was good to go for A/C installation at our townhouse. When the installers came, they surprisingly told me that I would need to get a roofer to properly patch up the hole where the line runs to the unit. I was very unhappy because this wasn't made known to me in the consultation or any of the days leading up to the install. I would think that with a service, they would leave things so that you wouldnt have to hire another contractor to come out to finish the job. If they had to hire a roofer themself to patch up the roof properly and add that cost to the install, I wouldn't mind. I wish I was made aware about this from the beginning. Now I have to spend another $800-$1000 to get the roof properly patched and sealed. Negatives aside, the install guys did and great job and they were friendly. TK and his team were prompt in terms of their response to any questions that I had. The A/C works well and just in time for the baby and hot summers. I hope for future clients, they are more clear about everything. read more

Golden Bear Heating and Air - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Gilroy, California

I live in a single-floor townhouse in Santa Cruz. It had central heat with a gas furnace that was nearly 50 years old, so rather than wait until it died, I decided to replace it with a heat pump HVAC system. A good friend told me about QuitCarbon, a free coordinator for such projects. I contacted QuitCarbon, which put me in touch with Golden Bear Heating & Air, whose owner, TK, inspected my place and sent me a detailed proposal for a new heat pump system using the existing central-heat venting. Golden Bear's staff did a great job installing the new system. Everyone was professional, patient, skilled, and expert at their work. They have also been terrific at handling & scheduling the permits & inspections required for the rebate for getting off carbon. Special kudos to Golden Bear's office staffer Bertha Rubio, who does an awesome job of staying on top of each step in the process and is always pleasant, prompt, and pleasant to work with. Thanks for excellent work, Golden Bear! read more

Golden Bear was recommended to me by QuitCarbon. I wanted to reduce my house's carbon footprint and replace my 20+ year old AC unit and natural gas furnace. TK provided me with knowledge of what a Heat Pump does. He walked me through their installation process, showed me where the new equipment would reside, and anticipated some of the challenges his team would be facing during the installation. TK presented me with a detailed scope of work, reiterated where the challenges will be, and provided upfront estimated costs. Installation of my new heat pump took them 2 full days. TK had Angelo lead the team of 8 - 10 guys to dismantle the old units and assemble the new units in the attic above my two story house. The second day involved Angelo and Pablo Sr configuring the new heat pump system. Both days they were on time, laid down drop clothes, respected my home, answered my questions, cleaned up, and vacuumed the areas they worked in. read more

Air-conditioner suddenly died in the middle of the recent heat wave in the Bay Area. Golden Bear came over immediately, checked out the entire system, and gave me several options for service. I decided to have them install a brand-new premium model upgrade. They did the installation the next day at a very competitive price, checked out the entire system to make sure that everything was functioning correctly. Their work was of high quality, with all lose ends tied up before they left the property. Highly recommended. Keith L Los Gatos CA read more

I had Golden Bear come install a new A/C and Furnace with Heat Pump in late June 2024. TK came out and quoted me a price with a great promise of multiple rebates I would qualify for. They completed the work on time as promised. However, we had some concerns with our newly installed A/C as we felt it was not very cool especially during the hottest times of the day. They explained that the new A/C systems are like that and are in a sense throttled by energy consumption so it is not working 100% like the inefficient A/C system we changed it out for. Ok, I get that. Unfortunately they did not explain this to me before I authorized work on this, but I accept blame as I should have researched this more. However, they promised that the rebates for this would be really generous and most likely available for me. Well, I finally applied for the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Rebate a few weeks ago and I was told that I am not eligible for this $2,500 rebate because San Jose Clean Energy and not Silicon Valley Clean Energy is my electricity generator. Oooofff! This point was not explained at all to me from TK when he accepted the job. He just said I was eligible for this rebate. Well today, I was officially rejected for this rebate. And to add insult to injury, when the inspector from the City of San Jose came for the final inspection, our new unit did not pass inspection. The inspector looked at the crawlspace where the ducts were and told us that they were touching the floor instead of being suspended off the ground by at least 4 inches. Also, there was a lot of leftover insulation. With these two issues, I failed the inspection. Golden Bear did send someone out to remedy this immediately. But now I am having trouble connecting with the City of San Jose to finally approve the inspection. All in all, it's been a terrible experience. I know my old A/C unit was inefficient, but if I could do it all over again, I would definitely not install a new A/C Furnace system and I would not ever use Golden Bear again!!! read more

Our home had no HVAC and we had TK and Pablo install a 3T heat pump with all the duct work needed. They have great communication, easy to work with and didn't hesitate to answer my questions. The days of the work they were respectful, left no mess at any point during the job, were great with our 2 dogs and cats being present during the process. They were very attention to detail as all the registers were installed square to the wall and cut cleanly. Early on the unit had an issue (defect from the factory) and they were onsite to correct it rapidly. All and all its been a great experience and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

This company came highly recommended when I called out for a referral and needed a second opinion. Our client's tenants were facing an asbestos and the air duct system needed replacement asap. Tamim responded quickly, squeezed my client's home for an inspection right away and provided a quote for proposal soon after. As soon as we got the proposal approved they worked swiftly to get the job done. Golden Bear Heating and Air was also able to get the right partner on board to assist with the asbestos abatement as well. We will definitely call on them again to assist with other jobs in the future. read more

I'm giving three stars cause they eventually get the job done, but the whole experience is unpleasant. - They didn't know the permit requires HERS testing, plus there's a couple small things wasn't taken care off, so the inspection failed the first times. (no HERS test is done before inspection.) - Based on the result of first HERS testing, the duct work was poorly done. The first test result was 90, one worker was onsite that day so he tried very hard to bring it done to 60, but it need to be below 40 to pass. So it takes another guy to come in the other day to fix that. - When quoted for the job, I was asking for the price with permit included. However, the contact was written in a not so clear way (put what's included and what's not in one line), so I thought it's included but it's actually not. OK, maybe just my english is bad. Still Kudos to a guy called Marco, he was doing good job and some fire-fighting to get this done. read more

We used Golden Bear to replace our broken heating system. Not only were they responsive in coming out to inspect the existing system, he provided us with cost effective options without being pushy to upgrade. Despite the long lead times in the market overall, he understood our urgency and promptly scheduled the installation. The install team was really professional and thorough. We are very happy with the service and glad to have working heat again! Highly recommend. read more

TK was very helpful and responsive during the initial bidding process. After we decided on a date, TK sent out a team that arrived on the dot and did a great job fixing my problem. As one of my first times interacting with a contractor, highly recommend Golden Bear to those looking for a efficient solution to get things done. A comment, can put some more attention on the cleanup process, noticed bits and pieces of the work around the house after. read more

My single story home from 1968 needed a helping hand staying cool in the summer months. At first I decided to get quotes for a more traditional central AC to work with my furnace and ducts. Other companies quoted me higher and wanted to replace my furnace and ducting. I didn't want to pay to replace something that IMO worked just fine, so I went looking for places that would do a ductless system. No duct replacement, and capable of heating and cooling off of electric - which is a nice bonus when the house has solar. I was quoted a Daikin 4-zone ductless system by Golden Bear, in the off-season, and went for it. I've had the system since February and have gotten to make use of both the heating and cooling. Everything is whisper quiet, and keeps the whole house comfortable. I can keep the bedroom chilly at 66 and the living room comfortable at 72/74. The install was very professional and painless. I hit a few snags trying to schedule inspection from the city. At first the inspector said I needed to schedule a longer inspection time. The inspectors were not familiar with the ductless split system and needed time to crawl the attic. One of Golden Bear's team (Marcos) was on-site to explain everything to the inspector (condensate drainage and electrical) which was very helpful. All in all I think the system was a great choice, and the work done by Golden Bear was top notch. I have recommended this to a couple neighbors with the same situation and style of home. read more

I called Golden Bear to get advice on our heat pump unit which stopped working. Tamim was able to call me and assess the situation. He gave me some very cost effective options in either repair or replacement of the unit; as well as the pros and cons of each. The kicker? I am not even in the area anymore so I wouldn't even be utilizing his company to do the work, however the fact he was aware of this from the get go, yet still was able to call me back and discuss options, speaks volumes. He truly cares about his customers, present and past. One can see from his yelp reviews, Tamim/Michelle run their business with expertise, authenticity, and with their clients' best interests in mind. Thank you all for your help!!! read more

TK and his team were great. I called and was able to get an estimate within a few days. I felt he was very genuine. He took his time to explain to me the options I had and felt the price was very fair. We were able to schedule the install within a week and it only took a day to install a new unit as we already had central heat. He even discussed other options as I asked him about buying a bigger unit if we expanded our home. It hasn't been terribly hot enough for us to need the new AC unit but we recently used it and it cooled the house in less than 10 mins. Highly recommended. read more

TK and his company provide reliable and efficient service. I knew TK was an honest contractor when I first met him. He provided me a detailed plan and worked with me by providing several options for my air conditioner and heater installation. Throughout the process, TK ensured I was informed and updated. His team was very kind and enjoyable to work with. I am providing 4 stars as the work went over by one day, which is not much of an issue but created minor difficulty as we have a small child. But even through this difficulty, TK showed concern and wanted to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied. As a new homeowner, I realize fixing current systems takes a lot of effort. TK made sure I knew what was going on and provided flexibility. Highly recommended! read more

I'm a property manager. I asked Golden Bear to send out a tech to check out a tenants HVAC. The first time he went out there, he wasn't skilled enough to figure out what the problem was. So I send out another HVAC and they were able to figure out what the problem was. So I told Golden Bear, my other HVAC told me it was the duct work. I asked them to go out there to give me a quote to repair the duct work. After their Friday visit , I've been following up with them for 5 days wondering where the bid is so we can move forward in getting my tenant's AC work. THEY WENT GHOST!!! I'm trying to run a business. I mange 25 properties. This company will waste your time. They don't have skilled techs to perform diagnostic. This is bad business on their end. POOR! POOR! POOR!!! You've all been warned. read more

5 star review for Golden best hearting and air! I called them for a service ob my HVAC system! They were very accommodating with the date and time and the technician that came out was also very professional and on time. I didn't hear the doorbell ring and the tech called me and came back and did NOT make any fuss about it. (My fault for not hearing the doorbell ring) They called me after the service was complete to take payment via credit card and emailed me a receipt. This company is very well managed and I would highly recommend them! 5 stars!! read more

Tamim's technician came in to repair an a/c after entire issue was discussed over the phone. The technician diagnosed the issue might be resolved by a hard start kit but he didn't have it, so he had to come back. Golden bear charged me for both visits because their technician was not carrying a very common part ($100 each visit instead of $140). After two visits, the technician said a/c cannot be repaired and should be replaced for which I was given a quote of ~$9k. I asked my old a/c technician for another replacement quote. He asked why are you replacing, checked the fuse which was damaged and a/c was up and running in first 15 mins. The low rating is not for things till now. It is because when I reached out to Tamim, explained the situation and asked him to rectify it - he did nothing after almost 4 weeks, 6-7 emails and a phone call. He 'chose' to not make it right, every single time making an excuse that he didn't get the time for over 4 weeks to basically rectify such a wrong experience for a customer. It no longer looks like a honest mistake anymore. read more

TL;DR: Golden Bear is awesome. T.K is extremely nice and a pleasure to work with. His crew is very professional and did the job superbly. 5 stars and would recommend Golden Bear to anyone for their HVAC needs. Longer more detailed review: We bought our first house in Nov 2019 a little before the pandemic forced us to work from home. Our house didn't have a centralized AC, but as new house owners strapped for cash we decided to brave the California Summer thinking it might be ok. Heat wave after heat wave last summer, forced us to reconsider the decision and opt for installing the AC before this summer started. Enter T.K and Golden Bear -- I reached out to Golden Bear since it had awesome reviews on Yelp. TK accommodated my estimate request on short notice despite having a busy schedule, came over and spent close to 45 mins assessing the infrastructure in place, and went over the necessary work to be done. He explained everything patiently, answered all my questions, even opened up one of our vents in the Living room since I complained that something was wrong with it to see if his guys would be able to fix it. None of the other people I got quotes from did that. He eventually sent over a pretty competitive quote the next day. After a little negotiation, we finalized Golden Bear to install the AC and get our furnace upgraded as well to account for extra space in the living room that was previously unaccounted for when the furnace was installed 12 years ago. I signed the contract, sent it back, and was immediately confirmed that the installation would happen 4 days later. T.K confirmed that he'll assign an extra guy to the job so that it can get done in 1 day. The guys who came over to do the installation -- Angelo, Pablo, and Mario were super nice -- wore masks, laid protective tarps over our floors, wore shoe coverings, and did the job very professionally. They arrived at 9 AM and were done by 4.30 PM. Angelo ran point on the installation, asked me for clarifications on certain decisions, and explained it to me if I needed more help understanding each choice. After the installation, Angelo walked me through all the work that was done in great detail, gave me all the documents for the new equipment, and even showed me some basic operations on the new thermostat installed. Overall I highly recommend Golden Bear for your HVAC installations. We are extremely happy with our decision :) read more

From the moment I met Tamim, I felt very comfortable that Golden Bear could take care of our needs. The conversation around the estimate to replace our furnace, relocate it to the attic, add AC, replace all the ductwork, and set up multiple zones in the house, was laid back yet very thorough and filled me with confidence. When we had to come back to him with an urgency that we did not have before, he took it in stride and had his team lined up and ready within 2 weeks. The installation team of Angelo, David, and Pablo Sr. were on time, dependable and patient in answering all our questions while moving things along quickly and smoothly. I would recommend Tamim and the Golden Bear team to anyone needing HVAC work. read more

This company far surpassed expectations! From quote to job completion, clean up and installation took 3.5 days. We needed everything including ducting; all we had was a broken wall heater. We were beyond thrilled to walk into an almost silent 63 degree house on the first hot day of many to come. If you can swing it and are looking for a HVAC company, you have to go with this one. Thank you so much for your professionalism, kindness, and very very reasonable prices. read more
