My Device: Gas-burning Trane XR80 Furnace from 2005 My Backstory: It is now 8-2026, and I had delayed fixing my heater since 1-2026. In January, it started producing a burning smell, sounded like it was working, but was giving off no heat, so we turned it off and on. Well, when that didn't work. We checked out the Diagnostic Board. That provided a clue: the OPEN LIMIT DEVICE needs attn. Above our pay grade. That's what scared us, and why we delayed the call. My Yelp Experience: Artisan Air responded quickly to my YELP quote request via text (my preferred form of communication) and scheduled a diagnostic appointment (on my preferred day/time). My Diagnostic Service Appointment: On the day of service, the technician provided a clear quote covering both cost and time estimates. We agreed on this and discussed payment options before starting any work. Timing & Service: The diagnosis and repair of my Trane system took under 2 hours total. The technician quickly identified the issue and got my system running efficiently again, with no return visits needed. Cleanliness, Care & Professionalism: I was impressed that the technician wore paper booties without even being asked, kept the work area tidy throughout, and left my home just as clean as they found it. Friendly dog? Dog friendly! Polite, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Don't delay like I did... Call Cody at Artisan Air today!!

We really felt like the entire crew took care of our needs and made sure everything was right before , during , and after the job. The crew was respectful, clean, and took the time to walk us through any concerns or information. We ended up getting both heating and ac system replaced. They were finished in a couple days. We felt like we could trust them and their work.

The quoted price for a two-head unit with external pump was in line or lower than the competing bids, backed by an extended multi-year warranty as Mitsubishi Diamond Certified installers. Heat pumps installed alongside existing central air is not an uncommon request, but we had a great conversation with Brook on how we might update to a more modern system in the future, given our original(!) furnace's age. Side questions for him aside, we had a thoughtfully sized system outlined and quoted within a day, and scheduled within two weeks. Our experience with the installation was similarly great, with the team arriving promptly as scheduled and taking the care to put on shoe coverings moving through the house. Everyone was polite and efficient, bringing the plan to life and bringing us in early when there were onsite decisions to be made in our unique spaces. When an issue arose on the cooling not blowing as cold as we had expected, they were quick to assist with troubleshooting, and had it fully remediating within the week. Permits are still pending due to the Oakland backlog, but their lead electrician will also be onsite during the inspection process so I have no worries there. While our immediate need during the heat wave this Spring was cooling our living spaces, I have full confidence that whenever we go to multizone heating and cooling, Spot Free will be our go-to experts!

Very easy to communicate with and book a quote. I received 3 quotes for our HVAC work:…read more- Spot Free: $21K - Vendor we used: $23K - Another vendor who we used before and were happy with but increased their pricing recently: $32K We decided not to go with Spot Free for 2 reasons. First, the heat pump brand was changed in the quote to one that we did not want (Carrier). We were replacing it due to leakage of carbon monoxide. This is obviously a safety concern for us, but also a peace of mind issue. We had discussed using Carrier at the site visit, but I was adamant to avoid it. Second, Brook mentioned that there was a manufacturer's recall on our existing 1-year old Mitsubishi heat pump (we have 2 zones with 2 separate units) and that we should pay him out of pocket to fix it. I was confused, because we received no information regarding a recall and typical costs associated with a recall are not paid by the customer. Furthermore, we hadn't experienced any issues and we're still within the warranty period from the manufacturer and installer. Brook said he had been processing a lot of recalls on units he installed and Mitsubishi was slow to send parts so it's easier to pay him directly for the repair. I contacted the original installer, who we had a very positive experience with initially, and they said there was no recall. I also looked online and couldn't find any information regarding a recall.

I scheduled a service call because my outdoor unit had become very noisy. Before the inspection…read moreeven started, I specifically told the technician that I was not looking to be sold a new system and that I wanted to focus on repair options if possible. The technician confirmed that the refrigerant charge was correct and that the system was cooling properly. Based on the diagnosis, the noise appeared to be coming from the compressor. Unfortunately, instead of discussing different repair or replacement options, the conversation immediately shifted to a proposal to replace the outdoor unit and evaporator coil for nearly $12,000. My original goal was to explore whether replacing only the outdoor condenser was a viable option, but that was never meaningfully discussed. I also found the estimate to be at the very high end of the market for a single stage system. I paid a $60 diagnostic fee and was told that it would be credited toward the installation if I decided to move forward. However, the estimate I received did not reflect that credit or mention it anywhere. Overall, I left feeling that the visit was focused more on selling a replacement system than helping me find the most practical and cost effective solution.

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience…read more Our 21-year-old HVAC system suddenly started making a loud vibration, so our home warranty company sent Same Day Air to diagnose it. On the first visit, the technician, Mohammed, didn't even inspect the system. He simply told us that older units are noisy and that our only options were to live with it or replace the entire system. Because the problem continued, our home warranty company scheduled a second visit. I specifically requested a different technician, but they sent the same person back. I tried calling their supervisor to come out or send someone else but they kept dodging my call. When I answered the door and explained the issue was still happening, he just shrugged his shoulders. I had to insist that he actually go into the attic and inspect the unit this time. After a short time, he came back down and said he had "tried everything" but never explained what he checked or what the actual problem was. Again, I was told the only options were to replace the system or live with the noise. I also never received any written work order explaining the diagnosis or repairs that were supposedly attempted. Not feeling confident, I hired another HVAC company for a second opinion. Within minutes, they diagnosed the real problem as a failing blower motor, explained everything clearly, and gave me the option to replace the motor instead of the entire HVAC system. The repair was completed that same week, and the vibration was completely resolved. I understand a 21-year-old system won't last forever, but every homeowner deserves a thorough inspection, a clear explanation of the issue, and repair options when they're available. Unfortunately, that wasn't the experience I had with Same Day Air.

Marcelo came highly recommended from my significant other, and I was not disappointed! I did get a number of quotes for our project to make sure I did my due diligence, and he provided the most budget friendly quote by a pretty significant margin. We decided to get a mini split heat pump installed, and he was very up-front with the pricing and what he would ask from me. I was responsible for pulling the building permit, but it wasn't very difficult to do, and by my estimate from other quotes I got, it saved us hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. The project started quickly and was done in a few days despite it being rather involved. I had a final building inspection, and it didn't pass on the first go around, but Marcelo came out the very next day to make the minor adjustments required by the inspector. I highly recommend Alaniz HVAC for any project big or small. I will absolutely be calling Marcelo in the future for any of our HVAC needs.

We used Nur HVAC to replace gas furnace with a heat pump inverter, replace the aging duct work and…read moregas water heater with a heat pump water heater, all in the same contract. Our project manager, Arthur was on-time for the scoping appointment. He took time to understand our needs, investigated the attic, ducts and all the existing equipment, before making any recommendations. He designed the optimal system for our house to be cost effective, provide highest comfort and be energy efficient. He was not pushy and was upfront about the ballpark estimates and timeline. He also walked us thru the various rebates that are available for the replacements from local utilities. Arthur's quote was very competitive, in fact better than those quoted to us by Costco referred contractors. Nur's installation crew - Eldar, Bhakridin, were very professional and thorough. They didn't rush the job and left the job site clean and clutter free each day. They accommodated our requests for placing the electrical wires and conduits so they are not in the way. All the equipment both indoor and outdoor were cleanly laid out, secured and wiped down before hand off. Always smiling and respectful, one of the best installation crew we have had. As a white glove contractor they took care of all the permitting, inspection paperwork w/ the city, all the paper work for us to receive the rebates. They even completed the warranty registration with the manufacturers for all the equipment! We would highly recommend Arthur and Nur HVAC to anyone in the Bay Area needing heating and cooling solutions. We would definitely be going back to them ourselves when the need arises.

He was extremely thorough in explaining these in layman terms. HVAC systems will always need maintenance and repairs, that's a given. However, I know that I have an honest, value-added, and well-run company to work with in NUR. Highly recommended!

My husband and I evaluated three vendors around the area in great detail and despite Chill coming out slightly more expensive than others, we felt they were the most thorough and comprehensive during the consultation (and the many follow-up questions I had). They were also able to squeeze us into their busy schedule so we could get AC before the heat wave! During installation, they ran into several challenges with placement of the new unit and some wiring that needed more attention. They worked through and around them to make everything work out in the end. I really appreciate their flexibility and expertise to navigate all the roadblocks without changing the scope of work. TIP: Measure the space where the unit is going to be placed and make sure the new unit will fit OR that you discuss this before the project starts.

He said the problem was the starter and said he could fix it for $460. While he was fixing it, I looked up the price of the part. It was $25. He was here for only 15 minutes.

He responded that he doesn't buy the parts himself. So I paid $25 for parts and $435 for 15 minutes of work. Yes, I wish I had gone with another company.
