I recently had an excellent experience with Kel-Aire for furnace repair and wanted to share my appreciation for their entire team. From the start, the office staff--Angela and Mia--were incredibly helpful and responsive. They handled the initial calls and part ordering with a level of professionalism that made the logistics seamless. The owner, Rob, clearly puts a lot of care into the business; he's created an outstanding team that truly cares about the customers. The actual service was performed by Matt, who was outstanding. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the repair clearly. It's a relief to work with a technician who is as capable as he is professional. He was even very transparent and careful about his time onsite, which I was ultimately billed for, and he gave me two loaner heaters to ensure we weren't left in the cold. Finding a trustworthy HVAC company can be a challenge, but Kel-Aire has proven themselves to be reliable, fair, and highly skilled. If you need honest service from a team that actually coordinates well from the office to the field, I highly recommend them. Thanks, Kel-Aire! read more

Got a heat pump to replace our old gas furnace. They set us up with a multi stage heat pump from Carrier. They handled the permits and rebates with the city as well. Explained every step of the way with a detailed invoice and clean install. I can see why my grandmother recommended you all. We will return if we need another install or repair. read more

My parents had issues with their AC/Heater. Prior to getting Kel-Aire out, we saw 2 other contractors. One told me I had to change the computer chipset, the other couldn't figure out our issue and turned off my parent's hot water. When Chad came in from Kel-Aire, he figured out our issue within 10 minutes! It was only a filter issue, he was very honest, genuine & absolutely amazing! Some companies will upsell you on things you don't need but Kel-Aire and Chad was professional and clearly had the expertise. Thank you Chad & Kel-Aire! We are forever grateful for going above and beyond for your exceptional service! read more

Communication was excellent, they were on time, conscientious technician and reasonable cost. We intend to use them for annual HVAC maintenance or any other issues that come up our HVAC. read more

They gave me the best affordable price for an outdoor furnace issue. They came, provided all the information needed, and offered 2 different solutions. Unfortunately, I was traveling while the work needed to get done. But because the furnace was outside, the team was able to get the job done without me present! I was sent progress photos and videos. Communication was clear and attentive. I'd definitely keep them in my back pocket. read more

We had Kel-Aire come to our home and install ac unit. worked around our schedule. were on time and on our budget. great work Manny and Rob. extremely professional . would give 10 stars. thank you, thank you Kurt P. read more

This was my second time using Kel-Aire. The first time was a few months ago when our heater was acting up. Not only did they fox the issue, the tech showed me what he did and explained it all to me. The other day, our outdoor condenser was acting up which was preventing the a/c from being effective. The tech was able to fix the problem and only charged me for the labor. He also replaced our failing thermostat in about 15 minutes. read more

Kel-Aire is the absolute best. We have been with them for close to 20 years. If you hire them once you will never go anywhere else for your HVAC needs. They are affordable and reliable. We do a yearly tuneup with them. All their technicians are great and really know their stuff. 10 Stars! read more

We purchased a ductless mini-split heat pump from Kel-Aire and they were great to work with. The whole process was very thorough and professional, from the site visit to the installation and follow-up. They handled the permit process which requires tenacity! Plus their bid was $5k less than the other business I considered. And, a union shop, which makes me feel good supporting them. I would definitely recommend Kel-Aire! read more

Here is my story: HVAC goes out; as the cold season approaches... I am heading out of town and its an emergency. I call another company NOT KEL-AIRE- YET!!! via the Yelp app and a person shows up and charges me $75 to do an inspection and tells me its a bad blower motor. Days pass. They cannot find the blower motor. They say the motor is "about $1,000". They want to charge me a $400 programming fee. Then a labor fee... They come back with a quote of some RIDICULOUS PRICE.... all said and done to replace the blower motor on a 8 year old Maytag high efficiency furnace. The person who came out; didn't seem like they were serious about what they were talking about. I reached out and called Kel-Aire. They were able to get me an appointment to check things out in a few days... Now for the experience with Kel-Aire. I have an appointment window of 8-10am. Perfect... Chad shows up about 8:45 and he is a professional. Has his tools, is friendly, explains everything he is doing, asks questions, goes into diagnosis mode. He is testing a variety of things. He concludes after many different things he has tested with his ohms meter that, in fact, the motor has gone bad. He then tells me- "due to the age of your system, it may be under warranty". WHAT! That is the best news I have heard all day. I do not have the time/energy or resources to pay THE RIDICULOUS QUOTE right now for a new blower motor. He lets me know the office will be in touch by the end of the day, and depending on the circumstances will give me a quote. In the meantime, I call the manufacturer, and they say: "yes, you do have a warranty on this unit. Here is how it works- (they give me a play by play of the process)" That afternoon Kel-Aire calls me back and says, "We have found your motor" and she gives me a quote which includes the price of the motor. She says, "we need some more information to see if you qualify for warranty." I explained everything; and she said: "Great, then we will go with the warranty route and I am ordering your motor." She currently has me set up for an installation in "about a week" when the motor comes in. I would be charged for the service call and the labor. (VERY REASONABLE) This has been the BEST service I have EVER received from ANY service company. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone reading this review. read more

Really not a fan in the type of marketing companies like this send to you making it seem as if you immediately owe them something and its urgent. Lets also consider we have NEVER done business with this company, we have a HVAC person and my grandmother passed away in 2022 and this was addressed to her. Seems to me like people who market to older people they can take advantage of or scare into paying for things. It's tacky. read more

We have an unusual hydronic heating system. Its pump broke down. I gave Kel-Aire a call. They were immediately empathetic with my situation. They sent out Don who is top notch with all kinds of heating systems. He diagnosed our system and found that the pump needed replacing. Kel-Aire ordered a replacement and had my heater working again. Also, Don educated me a lot more about the ins and outs of how home heating systems work, especially the system I have. I highly recommend Kel-Aire. Plus, I found their rate to be quite competitive and reasonable. 5 stars! read more

Kel-aire was able to schedule service soon after our phone call, and their technician Chad efficiently cleaned our kitchen exhaust and two bathroom air vents that probably hadn't been cleaned in over 15 years. Chad was thorough and helpful in explaining how to take apart the decades old, plastic vent covers. We are grateful customers and know we got good value for the cost. read more

Thank you Rob, your efficent and professional workers , and your dedication to service !!! God Bless You , and KEL-AIRE !! RICK B. read more

Highly recommended. Our 20 year old heater recently broke. Had a local company diagnose the issue and they recommended replacing the entire heater, the AC unit, and the ductwork estimating $20,000. So I call Kel-Air for a second opinion. Chad came out and isolated an issue with the motherboard. It's been working great and Chad saved me $19,000. Sure it's an old system, but still has some life left and now I have some time to save up for when we REALLY need an overhaul. I appreciate Chads honesty and can't recommend him enough. You're in good hands with Chad. read more

We love this company. The installation - over two years ago - was seamless. They communicate well and have terrific follow up. Yesterday in the heat, our system was reflecting "No signal". We did some switching of the breakers, etc and sent off an email to Rob - SOS! It was hot. He got back to us right away and did some troubleshooting over the phone which got the system back up and running. Great service, wonderful response. We could not be happier. read more

PG&E came by and told us we needed a new motor for our blower. Matt from Kel-Aire could had used that information to get more money and work from us, but he told me and my wife that we just needed a new capacitor. Saved us a lot of money and time. Matt's professionalism and honesty was so appreciated and almost unheard of nowadays. Kel-Aire is a great business and have a client for life. read more

I leave this review to thank Rob, Manny and the workers at Kel-Aire for installing a Carrier furnace at my residence. I chose Kel-Aire because they've been in business since 1973, they have an A+ BBB rating, there are many positive Yelp and Bay Area Checkbook reviews, and Rob gave me a reasonable bid. Martinez Sheetmetal also has impressive credentials. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these companies. read more

I contracted Kel-Aire to install a ductless AC system in my living room. Rob came to my home and went over options. I received an estimate but wanted to add a second system in the bedroom. I had a bunch of questions so Rob came back out to go over everything with me. Manny came to survey the site and plan for the installation. Jose, Conner and Josue installed my system this week. They were extremely professional and did a great job. They explained everything to me and cleaned up when they were done. I highly recommend Kel-Aire. I would definitely use them again for my HVAC needs. read more

Called around locally for an estimate for installation of new furnace and air conditioning units. Most local companies I called did not called back at all after leaving messages and one said they would put me on a waiting list which never transpired. Too bad for them. In the long run, I was able get a couple of bids. You just have to do your homework. I gave Kel-Aire a called and Rob Baladwin gave me back a return call. Set up an appointment to accessed my heating and air conditioning based on the square footage of my single family home. Rob was prompt, very informative, and professional. He provide us a very detail proposal listing what Kel-Aire was to provide for both the heating and air units. He gave us an installation date and time frame on how long it will take (approximately three days). During the course on the installation, Rob and his team came in and which were very efficient and they cleaned up every time using COIVD standards by the staff. Rob would come by the check on the process and communicated by email on any concerns and updates. At the end, we were given a walk-thru and the lowdown on instructions and maintenance. I cannot say enough more on Kel-Aire and how please I am with their services and products. Now, I can just enjoy the warm house and looking forward to the summer months. read more

I spoke to Rob the owner about eight months before Covid hit. He gave me a legit price. Kinda too expensive but I know they are a extremely reputable company. Fast forward about a year and a half later through Covid I had five other estimates and they went from Cheaper to bout the same price. One of my last estimates started out at 10 grand 30 seconds later it was at nine grand 30 seconds later was at eight grand and 20 seconds later he was at seven grand. He couldn't comprehend how if you would've just told me the entry price level I would've been more interested. Also most of the other companies seemed not up to spec. What I liked about Rob the owner of Kel-aire was he came right out and crawled around under my dirty shit and gave me a price within three days. He was replacing a heater and air conditioning unit. The heater was installed underneath the house where they had to open up a door frame in a crappy crawl space and install it and then re-door it. Also heating unit was hung above ground. They also plumbed a drain pipe off the unit to the outside. Lots of extra stuff. Problem was after Covid price went up over $1000. I completely understand that's the updated cost of materials. We settled on a date and the crew came out and within two days had it done and done well. My only gripe was the outside AC unit on its new pad had some of the exterior condenser blades bent. They brought this to my attention and straighten them to where it wasn't a problem. Super professional and super fast. Yes over a year and a half of research I figured out I could've had it done cheaper but good Lord not done correct. It's like your mama said you get what you pay for. This was my grandfathers and grandmothers house, I'm renting it out but I plan on living in it in a few years. I would like to know when I get there I have heat and AC that will last. Kudos to Rob and the people from Kel-aire. read more

Rob is an absolute pleasure to work with and the rest of his team are not only professional but quality driven. Our AC went out with the first month of having our baby and the Kelaire team was able to fit us into their schedule at an extremely competitive price. They coordinated the crane for our roof unit and installed new duct work. I would only recommend kelaire for heating and air conditioning services. read more

The first time I met Rob when considering purchase of an AC system for my home I was deeply impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and friendly personality. During a recent hear wave, he demonstrated customer care at the highest level. I texted and emailed him at 6 p. m. - probably in the middle of his dinner hour, because my AC was telling me " no signal. ". My wife and I were sweltering. He called me within a few minutes of my text. He walked me through various ways to troubleshoot- staying on the line the whole time - about 30 minutes at least. I did all he said and he told me that sometimes it takes the system 5 minutes or so to come back on line. We ended our call. Within 10 minutes the " no signal " message went away and the system turned on and we breathed in cool air. We are so appreciative of Rob. A wonderful guy. I am so happy we chose Kil-Aire when we decided to get AC some years back, and really delighted that it was Rob who met with us. read more

After doing a ton of research, decided on a 2 stage / Carrier dual fuel (heat pump and furnace) system. After multiple bids; Kel-Aire was the obvious choice to install our new HVAC. Their professionalism, communication, and honesty during the bidding was apparent from day one. Moreover, the bid itself was very competitive compared to the other highly reviewed businesses in the area. For the install: the crew arrived on time, and took the time to make sure it was done correctly and to my satisfaction. Their techs worked with the manufacturer directly to make sure our dual fuel system not only worked, but did so in the most efficient way possible (the whole point of choosing this system). The units have worked flawlessly in the weeks since the install, but if anything did happen, I have 100% confidence in Rob and his crew to make it right. read more

We just had our furnace replaced and an AC unit installed by Kel-Aire and we are so very happy with the job they did and the excellent customer service. Rob came over in the beginning for the initial assessment and recommended on what we should do and was very thorough and transparent with everything. He was very kind and kept us up to date with all the information we needed and informed us of when and what to expect when the crew would come out for the installations. With both jobs, everyone was wonderful and very courteous and safe during this pandemic. Masks were worn and all safety precautions were taken, which I greatly appreciated. Our furnace works lovely, we are so much more comfortable now. And although it's a little cold to have the AC on, from what we experienced when we tested it; it works pretty well! You also can't beat the price. Thank you Kel-Aire! read more

Rob and his team are 5 stars all around! We are so pleased with the work Cowboy & Sean did at our house installing a new furnace, air conditioner and an additional vent. Great work, great business and super easy to work with. read more

2020 update: The recent repair was HVAC. They replace the hot surface igniter (HSI) unit. Entire repair took 0.5 hour, they charged 0.5 labor + $70 trip - that is OK. What does not seemed to be reasonable was the HSI component charge was $106 that most suppliers charge $20 to $40. HSI is not much different from a car spark plug plus a piece of wire. Sorry, I deduct a star! 2016 4-star review. read more

They haven't even left the house from the install and I'm singing their praise. I started off getting 3 bids for a new HVAC and heating units. All of the companies had great reputations and good products but sometimes there is nothing like having a company out of your neighborhood. It took 4 days for the install. There was a crew of 1-3 (depending on what was going on. "Cowboy", Sean and Chris worked a full day and cleaned up afterward (you would think that this is standard or common sense but I've had companies leave a mess in/around my house at the end of each day). They also took out 2 wall heaters and put up drywall. I now have my Carrier central heat and air, something I've been wanting since 2002. THANKS AGAIN GUYS! (You too Rob!!! for not just being a sales rep but knowing your product and what is best for the customer... even if they think they know) read more

Our 35 year old heater and air conditioner was on it's last leg. Bel-Air installed a new system and Wow, how much improvement on both heat and cooling. The installers were a 10 out of 10. I would recommend this company to anyone. They will be the company to service our system. Thanks guys! read more

This review is not about the installation nor the HVAC equipment. This review is about our experience during the estimate visit. Due to our own negligence, a rat wreck havoc in our crawl space and ruined our very old ductworks. The AC equipment is very old too so its time to get rid of it and change to a new and more energy efficient AC. We called 4 companies to do an estimate and Rob from Kelaire stood out among all of them. We felt Rob really cared about his customers and we felt we can truly trust him. Rob tried to work with what we have so we wont have to spend our life savings for a new HVAC. We needed to change all the ductworks due to code requirement however they can still use our newer thermostat, metal connectors etc... We are so ready to hire Kelaire, however we decided to waits until Kelaire start offering ductless AC instead. After what happened to our ductworks in a very tight crawl space, we don't want to take chances again and have the same problem in the future. Its not cheap to replace ducts. Although the other two companies offered ductless (very expensive!), we didn't feel the same ease and care we felt talking with Rob. So we decided to wait it out. Save money and hopefully KelAire will start offering ductless AC in the near future and in a much affordable. I would definitely recommend Kelaire if you are in the market for new hvac. read more

Absolutely worthy of a 5-star rating. My wife and I just moved into our first home and were immediately faced with furnace issues. Not only did Rob and his team at Kel-Aire promptly solve all of our heating problems, he personally guided me through the process of identifying the roofing ventilation issues that needed to be corrected first. He even helped me understand what was covered under my roofing warranty, which saved us a ton of money. His team was professional and courteous, and of course were very Covid-conscious when completing their work inside our house. We're thankful for their service and will no doubt use them again if ever needed! read more

We just had a brand new A/C unit installed in our home. Everyone At Kel-Aire have always been so professional and kind. Thank you to the professional and kind office staff, Rob, Manny, Richard and all the workers at Kel-Aire. Kel-Aire always goes above and beyond to do everything. We always use them for any of our heating needs and now A/C. We are so happy with our new A/C. read more

We have had Kel-Aire assist us at our home and office for the past year. The 4-5 times we've had them out for regular and urgent service, the techs have been great. However, we booked them last week for a service this morning and they apparently mis-recorded it on their side as being for tomorrow. I took off work to stay home for this appointment. The office staff are generally apathetic sounding and don't take a lot of responsibility. I'm on a kick in my life to remove folks that aren't reliable, so I won't be using Kel-Aire again for any reason. read more

Our AC pooped out in the middle of the heat wave, and we are a prior Kel-Aire customer. Rob got on the phone and made an appt. to check it out the next morning. Within a couple of days (it was a weekend), we had a completely new AC and furnace (ours were 30 years old.) Rob is the sweetest guy, and Chris, who did the work, was also wonderful. He and his helper came with masks, were amazingly friendly, worked nonstop in the heat, and answered every question happily and completely. If you have any heating or AC problems or questions, I'd say you can skip the research and don't hesitate to call Kel-Aire. You won't find a friendlier, more honest, capable and local business anywhere! Thank you, Rob, for your great service. read more

I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by Kel-Aire. A couple years ago we decided to install a/c. We already had central heating so it should have been a rather straight forward procedure. Unfortunately who every originally built this house definitely did not know much about HVAC because the ducting in our house was a total mess. It turns out there was only one 8" duct taking air up to the second floor of a roughly 2000 square foot house so the lower level was an ice box and upstairs was still hot. Rob and Cowboy did a great job working with us and ended up expanding the the duct to a much bigger size for a fair price since it was neither of our faults. Jump to this winter. It's been really cold out and now it has been nearly impossible to heat up the bottom floor because they did too good of a job directing air upstairs. Again, Rob and Cowboy came through and helped us install an adjustable damper so we can control where the air goes season by season. Last week it was consistently 10 degrees cooler downstairs, and now it is nice and even on both levels. Seriously just do yourself a favor and have your work done by these guys. They do great work and they stand by their customers even after the work is long done. read more

I'm very happy and blessed I called Kel-Aire. My husband and I can't thank enough for the excellent service we've received from Mr. Rob Baldwin today. He is one of a kind; very helpful, and most of all he doesn't take advantage of his client instead he gives the best advise. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone. We would definitely call him again when needed. Thank you so much again for all your help Mr. Rob Baldwin. We really appreciate you so much. May God Bless your good heart always! read more

I highly recommend Kel-Aire! The service was super fast and professional. After our consultation, we received a call a couple days later and were able to schedule AC to be done within 1 week. We have a baby and the guys were so sweet informing us that they can make sure to do the noisy work after naptimes. Abraham, Julio and Richard came at 8am to do the job and finished the same day by 2:30pm! They were respectful, wore booties around the house and a mask. They made sure to put plastic over items to make sure our house didn't get dirty and even vacuumed after. 10/10 experience! read more

I would like to recommend Kel-Aire and technician, Don for the tuneup of my Pioneer AC Minisplit. That company came through with a plan and a maintenance program that several other local companies promised, but never delivered on. They were just the best. read more

We've been using this company for 30 years, always with excellent results. Highly recommend them!

I'm pretty shocked that there aren't more reviews for Kel-Aire seeing that they're service is heads and shoulders above their competitors. Our quick experience with Kel-Aire: My wife and I purchased a home that had been abandoned for nearly two years. With a pregnant wife and a home with no heat, days before Christmas, Rob B. and Cowboy came to the rescue. In what was perhaps some of the worst weather of the year they had installed a new system complete with duct work in less than 3 days! This crew embodies 'old school' service and craftsmanship with a 'new school' approach to communication. Rob B. followed up with us once work was completed and nearly on a daily basis to make sure things were going smoothly. As a real estate agent, I place a value on service and honesty, which the crew at Kel-Aire exemplify. read more
