Oren came for an in-person estimate and very promptly sent back a quote. Of the 3 quotes I obtained, it was about 50% higher than the quote I selected, but the same as the other one. I think Oren would have done a good job, but I made my decision largely based on price. I think the quote was fair, but the difference perhaps was the position of the condenser and the route (i.e., more vs. less work) as well as uncertainties related to permitting (i.e., whether unforeseen additional work would be needed). I'm glad I got a quote from him and appreciate his time. read more

A tech came and serviced our furnace. The price was pretty high but I was willing to pay it for quality. The tech was great. I asked him about putting in a smart thermostat and he said he could but it had to go through the office. I've since contacted them 3 times about the thermostat and haven't gotten a response. Will find someone else. read more

Oren's HVAC Services - Oren do maintenance on our old system - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Oakland, California

Very thorough! Cleaned our air ducts and reconnected them to vents where needed. Competitive pricing and good communication.

We called HVAC Oren's Services and Oren was able to come out and look at our broken furnace the next day. We had an estimate within our expectations the day after his visit which we accepted and had an appointment for install a couple-three weeks hence. Within a week we were called and told that HOS had a cancellation and that we could have our installation done the next day. Two technicians arrived on time and within 3 or 4 hours the new furnace was installed and running. At every step of the process HOS was responsive and competent. We will definitely be calling HOS for any further HVAC service. read more

If I could give Oren 10 stars, I would. My dryer has been chugging along for a while and I realized I had never had the vents cleaned. Called Oren on a Tuesday afternoon and he and his team were at my house on Wednesday morning. In addition to a very dirty vent, he noticed that there wasn't much air coming through. Asked me to show him the crawl space and lo and behold, my vent pipes were so old that they had almost disconnected. Oren and his team replaced the pipes and cleaned everything. I am thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail. He could have just cleaned the old vents and left but I'm super grateful he noticed a problem and fixed it before it could have caused who knows what kind of issues. read more

On one of the hottest days in history these guys were here in a few hours and did a quick repair for a great price. Thank you!

Oren and his colleague came within just a couple of days after I called. They were professional and courteous. We had honey bees get into our attic and set up a hive. This attracted rats! They made such a mess!!! Oren came out and cleaned everything, cleaned the furnace, replaced the soiled insulation material. The furnace is sparkling clean and healthy now. I will use Oren again in the future if need any HVAC repairs or dryer vent clean out. read more

This is a review update: After our response, the manager immediately contacted us, apologized and offered corresponding solutions to these problems. Their sincere attitude makes me believe that they care about customers and their own reputation and are willing to constantly improve themselves. Based on their attitude, I'm willing to give them another chance for further collaboration. ----------------------------------------- We worked with Oren 4 years ago, and they were super professional at that moment. But this year I found them again for the duct cleaning and we are extremely unhappy about their service. They did things carelessly, many details make me very helpless. Pls be careful about the quality of their service now. 1. The roof vent lid is not tightened. A screw has already dropped on the floor!! We have a 9 month old at home, it will be too dangerous if he eat that screw on floor or the vent drop and hit his head. 2. Uncleaned vent, they probably missed this one but charge us 12 cents price 3. Left ladder and water bottle at our home 4. Did not replace filter 5. The workmen accidentally chipped off a piece of the door frame read more

Oren and his team are excellent. We moved to the Bay Area a few years ago and during the last few summers we really had a hard time with the bouts of high temperatures that seemed to settle in for a month or two each year. We convinced ourselves for a few years to just buy/use portable AC units, but they were really clunky and frustrating to keep setting up during random heatwaves. This year, I decided to look into getting AC installed. I contacted ~15 HVAC contractors in the Bay Area and was able to get quotes from ~9 of them (I found a lot of them through Yelp) for a 4-zone mini-split system. We had the same unit in our previous home and knew more or less what we wanted. Oren was by far the easiest to work with, I walked with him around my home and pointed out the spots where I wanted the units to go and the location for the condenser. He offered a few suggestions to make the install go smoothly and was able to send me a quote by the end of the day. His quote for the system (Mitsubishi) was very reasonable, and I felt comfortable hiring his company for the job. The office staff were very responsive, sending updated quotes with model numbers and pricing breakdowns that made it pretty easy to understand what we were paying for and helping us explore some options for the system. The installation took 2 days. His crew was excellent. They were very courteous and easy to talk with. My wife and I worked from home both days just in case anything came up, but they never really needed anything from us. Mostly, I just kept poking my head in to check how things were going, and every time I did, I just saw a bit more of the system coming together. After everything was in place, the team went to all the units to test them, and we were all set. Overall, I was very impressed with the level of communication and the quality of the work, and it was all done for a reasonable price. read more

We recently started working Oren and his team and have been wowed. They've done several installs for us and always come in with the best price for the same quality. I'm looking forward to the next project! read more

Outstanding Service! We had a dryer duct that was severely blocked with damp lint buildup and (unknown to us) the vent was broken in 3 places. Oren and Tony went under the house, identified the issue(s), fixed the duct, and then worked tirelessly to clear the duct of all buildup. Great communication - Oren kept me informed throughout the job. Great price for such a tough job. I'm definitely calling them again when it's time for regular maintenance. Great job!!! read more

Friendly and professional! Great prices and quick service. Oren's fast and attentive customer service ensured a convenient appointment and fast scheduling. The professional technicians efficiently diagnosed and repaired my system, showcasing their exceptional skill. I highly recommend Oren's HVAC for their excellent service and competitive pricing. read more

My furnace wasn't working for the last 2 years but it's very cold lately so I decided to fixed it. Oren came by and fix it on the spot and was able to replace me the filter as well. Thanks read more

Tony checked the problem of my HVAC and Oren came out with the parts; great and fast repair of my HVAC! You are the best!

Oren and Tony were able to come out the very next day, do the work efficiently and successfully, and be delightful to work with in addition. Couldn't have been better! read more

Oren is a lifesaver! We are new homeowners and have no clue what the problem is when things go wrong in our home. And yesterday, our house got up to 95 degrees with the AC not seeming to work at all. I requested a quote in the evening and they were at our house at 10 AM the next day. The two gentlemen that serviced are home were very thorough and competent - going through step by step to diagnose the problem. They kept us informed along the way and we're able to solve the issues we have. The work took a bit of time, but they didn't complain. They just kept at it patiently and kindly until everything was running smoothly. We learned a ton about our heating and cooling system and we're in such a better place now. Not only that, but we found the pricing to be reasonable. They were able to come within 24 hours, fixed all of the issues same day and offered to go the extra mile if needed. I would definitely recommend them and won't hesitate to call if we need them in the future. Thank you, Oren! read more

As a homeowner, owner of multiple rental properties and very active Realtor, I seen to need Hvac services more than the average person. I've called and have easily been able to schedule Oren about 7 or 8 times in less than a year and every time my experience has been wonderful. The office staff is very professional and the technicians including Oren, Thanh and Sean always go the extra mile to take care of what you need in the quickest and most efficient and cost effective ways. Twice I have told them that I had a furnace that needed to be replaced and they told me we didn't need a new one, a good cleaning by them would be just fine. And they were right! They are totally trustworthy and their prices are more than reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Oren installed AC (condenser and coil) to my existing furnace and ducting. The unit is working. I had three gripes after competition of the job. 1. When going over the work, one of the workers explained to me how "who ever installed our furnace did it incorrectly and it should he laying on its side, and that's why we had to run our piping like this". If a worker finds something done incorrectly previously they should ALWAYS inform the owner. Perhaps I would have wanted to change it. And if its going to make your work look less than perfect it would be wise to informer the home owner, otherwise it makes your workmanship look poor. 2. I bought a brand new Nest thermostat. I handed it (still in the shrink wrap) to one of the workers at my front door, he opens it (instead of waiting to come inside) and removes it from the packaging and drops it directly on ground (hard pavers). But he doesn't say anything at all. I look at the Nest and it has a small chip in the white painted coating but looked ok overall so I let it slide. Not to be mean or rude but he was the youngest of the three workers and seemed to be a bit slow. 3. After completion of the job when I tested the system their was an obvious air leak from the ducting where it joins the furnace. I told them and they patched it. We'll see how it holds up. Would I use then again? I think so. But this is a reminder that you're not getting the owner or person that writes your estimate to do your work. You're getting workers that you have never met. So check their work. I forgot to get cash from the bank the day before and Oren was nice enough to give me an extra day to pay. read more

Oren HVAC helped us update our out-of-date ducting which was impacting the efficiency of our furnace and was also not up to code. Tomer was very responsive via text, answering all of my questions and the office staff were quick about setting up appointments. The estimate we were given was reasonable compared to other quotes we received. On the day of the scheduled job, the team arrived on time and worked efficiently. They cleaned up after themselves and even took off their shoes in my home without being asked. They had to return a separate day for one other issue and were again responsive and quick. The end product looks super professional. In addition to updating all of ducting, they had to cut two new vents/boots into our bathrooms which did not have any heating previously. The workmanship looks very professional. read more

Exceptional experience. Easy to schedule visit. On time, great communicator and exceptional work.

All of the stars! Sean, the technician that came out was amazing! Had to go through two swindlers from other companies before actually getting to someone who knew what he was doing and was honest. Honest air conditioner repair people are hard to come by, so stick with this place! When the air conditioning suddenly stopped working a little over a week ago when I just moved in, the first person to come out said the entire system needed to be replaced for $8,000 and he pushed for me to get going with that immediately. The second person who came out was a friend of a friend of a family friend who managed to swindle me out of $700. He replaced a few parts and installed a new thermostat because mine was "old", telling me that will make the air work. When he was done, some air was coming out of the vents, but barely any. He tried to convince me that my house's air flow doesn't get any stronger than that and the puff of air coming out was appropriate for the size of each room. Then he asked me why I wasn't married. This piece of crap installed gas lights instead of air conditioning. Eventually no air was coming out at all. I had an appointment with Oren services set up for the next day the friend told me to cancel because everyone but his friend is a crook. And when I mentioned the "married" comment - it was just a "joke"! The amount of sexism I experienced from that experience was absurd. I was so mad and no one was believing me, so I emailed Oren Services to hopefully get my appointment back, and thankfully was able to. Sean did what none of these other people did and actually went up in the attic to see what was going on with the duct work. The others barely looked at anything and one left the vent open before he left. Sean knew what he was doing, actually troubleshooted and knew how to fix it right away. Also, he was very nice. A block of ice had formed due to a faulty blower motor that blocked the air flow through the ducts. The other guys also noticed the ice block, but did nothing. Sean replaced the blower motor and in order to test it, turned the heater on to melt the block of ice - something none of the others even thought to do, basically just saying there was no way to remove a block of ice. Because no one else knew something as simple as melting the ice to get rid of it?! Everyone noticed the ice problem, but Sean was the only one to actually do something about it! Once the ice was gone, the new blower worked great, with a strong air flow through all the vents that the one guy tried to convince was impossible for this house to have. Sean also noticed that some vents that had no to little air flow were installed upside down or blocked in some way, when he fixed them, air came right out from vents I was told were supposed to have air flow that weak. Sean went above and beyond and even charged less than the others. I'm sticking with Oren Services from now on. read more

We had an emergency situation after returning from our vacation. It was about 50 degrees in our house and the central heater was unresponsive. I called several places to get quotes for an evaluation. Oren's was one of the few places that returned my call and promptly answered my questions without making me feel like an idiot who knew nothing about the situation. All I knew was the controls weren't working and my kids were shivering. Henos came to the rescue. He evaluated that the circuit board was fried from the nearby water heater that had broken down the week before. He was clear about the cost, which seemed reasonable and within similar quotes I received if I needed to replace the entire HVAC system. But then J decides he wants to add central A/C in addition to the extensive heater repairs, which included a new heater system, relocation of said system, and additional duct work. As you can imagine, the cost was going to be substantial with the added A/C unit, which requires an entire boatload of work that, honestly, I have zero knowledge. However, Henos was able to breakdown the process and cost, negotiate a generous discount, and complete the work within 2 days with his crew. Special mention of Jose, who worked late into the evening to ensure the work was complete and patiently answered my questions as well. There were some unexpected additional costs, but Oren was SO kind. He absorbed the additional expenses that resulted on his side and we shared the cost of the third-party contractor (i.e. electrician). J & I felt that we were dealing with an honest business and are confident they would provide the same services to others. Even friends who had to install or replace their HVAC system pre-pandemic commented that we got such a great deal. A month later, the heater works better than before, warming up our old house. The portable heaters were retired and J is excited to test out the a/c in the summer. Highly recommend! read more

Oren is very professional, explained everything, and is a real genuine person. He presents all of your options clearly and is a pleasure to work with. I wish I met him sooner but will use him for all my HVAC needs in the future. read more

Transparent and fair quote. Excellent service and quality work. Look forward to using Oren for future central air conditioning installation. read more

Oren came promptly. He had to work really hard to clean our dryer vent that hadn't been cleaned for about 9 years. The lint filled a plastic shopping bag and there were internet wires in the vent too. Feels great to have it cleaned out and the dryer will be much more efficient now. read more

Really kind proprietor, very easy to talk with and ask questions of. He identified many small details that other service providers glossed over. I was impressed with his attention and his ability to problem solve on my job. He even recommended I work with an electrician to make sure that no problems arose later, and I was grateful because no other service provider had identified that area of concern. read more

Arrived early in promised window, finished estimate quickly. Declined bid because we can't afford it. Will manage with old heater.

Oren was personable and professional..no problem with his manner. I was almost taken to be honest. He knew I had a rodent fear as I had a mouse come into my house. I feared they had gotten in my heating ducts as I saw poop in my return vent. He saw a section on one duct that was repaired and intimated rodents may be getting inside there. He told me I should replace 4 of my ducts to a tune of $2600 and also pay a cleaning fee of $599.. If he was replacing 4 that would be 1/2 my ducts. obviously, the new ones wouldn't need cleaning. I wasn't sold so I got other HVAC service assessments to find out there is ZERO evidence of rodents invading my ducts and that my crawl space is really clean.. the mouse appears to have gone through a wall vent in my living room to get into the return . I almost got fleeced out of $3200.. read more

I don't know how Oren's could get anything under a 5 star review. The entire process for getting our air conditioner replaces was carefree! Our tech, Guy came to give us an estimate. He did a thorough inspection to determine if our old unit was repairable. These days it's hard to find someone who is willing to repair an older unit as it's much easier to just swap out for a new one (and more profitable as well). Guy listened and is very friendly, he instantly made us comfortable and we felt like Oren's was the right choice for us. Unfortunately, we had a condenser leak so we needed to a new AC. We paid the service fee but it is waived if you end up doing the work. I received all receipts and notifications instantaneously and the estimate within a couple of hours. We had a few questions that the office answered and was able to add some detailed information to the estimate ie. make and model for our records, and it included all work and repairs with a manufactures and service warranty. We also received a call from Guy to go over any questions we had, giving us a lot of confidence to accept the bid. We also did check with our family member who works in the industry and confirmed the pricing was very good. Once we electronically signed the estimate, we scheduled the new AC to be installed in 2 days. The office just needed to call and order the parts, luckily everything was in stock! Guy arrived on time for the installation. He worked very clean and organized. Tools were kept together and no mess, I was very surprised. He was a one man team and even cleaned out furnace before hooking it up to the new parts. Very impressive work, beyond my expectations! Also, he worked pretty quietly which was nice because we live in a condo surrounded by other residents. It was an full days worth of work but once he finished, he ran and tested everything to be sure it was in working order. I never once felt like he rushed the job to get to another. Guy has been working for Oren for over 10 years and you can really tell he enjoys and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Oren and if you can ask for Guy, he was fantastic!! Thank you again. read more

Called for estimate to get my airducts cleaned they said we need send tech out to make sure vents are good guy came says I can't get to ac then leaves called customer service lady said I talked to you let me call tech see what's going on Waite couple hours call back lady said techs busy he can't talk so I call back today no answer leave message for call back no response very lousy customer service glad I didn't use them read more

I couldn't have found anyone better! We were leaving the country in two days, and our heater of 32 years broke down. I could not find a HVAC company to come out on extremely short notice. Well Thank God I found Oren. They were the absolute best. They came very soon, looked at the situation, gave me a very decent price for one of their top systems, and got to work giving me an incredible heating system. They spent time explaining what they were doing. Their workers were quiet and clean. Efficient, efficient, efficient. Honest as ever and very customer attentive. We now have a system that we have used for two years. You will never go wrong. Guy did the work primarily, and the owner came out to meet me and have a look at the system. This review was on my to-do list for two years! Shame on me! read more

Oren and his team recently replaced and old discontinued heater from our rental. Our renters said that Oren's team was great to work with and Oren was very understanding with all of my questions. I would highly recommend Oren's HVAC anytime read more

Oren's Services installed a new Ecobee3 thermostat for us. I called a number for places for quotes and they were very competitive and were able to schedule an appointment the soonest. When the tech arrived, I found there was some miscommunication with the office on what exactly needed to be done (new wire run) and the tech was a little concerned that the wall might need to be opened up to get the wiring done, but was able to get it done without having to cut extra holes in the drywall with a little assistance from me :) Everything was completed in a little over an hour. read more

We spoke to many local HVAC companies over the last couple years and Oren's has been the best by far. Excellent customer service, fair pricing, expediency, honesty, flexibility, and good workmanship. They have all of the bases covered and did a great job installing and retrofitting a very nice AC unit in our home. I highly recommend. read more

Henos was courteous, efficient and effective. This was a very good experience and I definitely recommend using Oren for your HVAC needs. Our old furnace was putting out a funky smell and we weren't able to clean it ourselves. We were also concerned about the age of the unit and whether it was functioning properly. Henos, our HVAC Oren service provider, was able to clean the unit thoroughly using an amazing special tool we had never seen. He was also able to verify that the unit is in working order despite it's age, which gave us great comfort. Henos was also very transparent about his service and the pricing. read more

Oren provided fast service. I used his services 5 years ago, and this time around, he hasn't seemed to lose any of his energetic bounce!

Our ac not working a few months ago and I call Oren hvac for service. They responded fast and came the next day which fixed my problem.

We contacted Oren's Services to get a second opinion on our AC Unit which had suddenly stopped working. They were able to arrange for Guy to come out that same day to take a look at the system. He was able to give us a quote and get started right away. Unfortunately, we needed a new circuit board, plus a new filter, so he arranged to come back the next morning to finish up after he picked up the parts. Guy is a really sweet guy, and took the time to explain each step to me, along with why he was approaching it the way he was, and we ended up chatting quite a bit while he worked. Guy arrived on time, worked diligently, and never made us feel pressured or rushed. We will definitely ask to work with him again. read more
