    Study roof cassette

    I had an outstanding experience with Plum HVAC. After my 66-year-old Carrier gas furnace finally retired, I decided to replace it with a Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system. I consulted with four contractors and chose Plum because of their excellent reviews and competitive pricing--and I'm glad I did! From the owner Sam to the administrator Natalie and the installation crew (Jake, Alex, Andrew, and Ha), everyone was professional, responsive, and great to work with. Sam and Natalie went above and beyond to help me file my HEEHRA application just before the TechClean deadline for NorCal. Natalie proactively reminded me of the deadline, reviewed my application, and pointed out errors, showing their commitment to helping customers save money. Sam was straightforward, responsive, and open to my ideas--like installing the outdoor unit in the side yard instead of the backyard, which he got approved. The installation crew was meticulous, professional, and respectful, wearing N95 masks and protective suits when needed, and cleaning the work areas thoroughly after each day's work. Jake emphasized quality over speed, and I could see they took pride in their work. They even took care to hide electrical wiring behind the pipes, maintaining a clean and aesthetic look. Plum is a small company with low overhead, and they pass the savings on to their clients, making their pricing very competitive. I'm truly grateful to have found them--highly recommended!

    I hired Plum HVAC to install a Mitsubishi Multi-Zone Ductless Mini-Split system. The crew came before the scheduled time and even waited in the car for me to give them a green light to start the job because I had requested a specific start time. The crew was super efficient and got to work in different areas of the house. Each day after the job was done, they made sure all areas were fully cleaned up. The job was estimated to be completed in 3 days but the crew finished everything in 2.5 days. I was super impressed at their professionalism and how fast and clean they did the job. They were also priced pretty competitively. In addition, they also helped to apply for the Clean Tech rebate and got it back pretty quickly. Sam the owner is also super responsive with text. I'm very glad that I went with them and would definitely recommend!

    Newly installed Condenser for Heat Pump

    We hired Plum HVAC to install a new Heat Pump system for an attic of second floor through another site. Sam and team has done exceptional good job with quality and honesty so we highly recommend Plum HVAC to any customers on Yelp also who needs reliable and high quality HVAC work done! From Sam to his team, they place customer service at very high priority. You won't be disappointed!

    I highly recommend Plum HVAC! I reached out to six companies for heat pump HVAC quotes through switchison.org. Sam was the first to respond, and we scheduled a visit the very next day. I immediately felt a rapport with him, and he was super low-pressure. I noticed that he was not taking notes, photos, or measurements when he was surveying the house. He said that he just remembers everything! We discussed both ducted and ductless (6-zone mini-split) systems for our house and he quoted both. But it was pretty clear that the mini-split would be a better choice if we were ok with the aesthetics. Sam came on Friday, and he sent me the quote on Saturday - less than 24 hours later. I had the other companies quote only the mini-split. I don't regret getting the other quotes because I learned something from each of them. But they all came in at higher costs (some more than 2x!), and I still felt like Plum would do the best job. Despite his quote being the lowest, Sam quoted the higher-end "FS" models of the Mitsubishi indoor units, and the others quoted the "GS" models. Sam and Natalie helped me reserve HEEHRA, TECH Clean CA, and SVCE rebates and answered many other questions before the installation. Jake, Ha, Andrew, and Alex did the installation. They were a highly competent, efficient, and courteous team and they completed the job in three days. We are very happy with the performance of our system and with the whole experience with Sam and his team.

    I would give 6 stars if I could. I found Plum HVAC from Peninsula Clean Energy's list of approved contractors for HVAC. I replaced my central heating with a heat pump. Sam, the owner, gave me a quote that almost matched two other companies quotes (one being a family member's client so that must have been a close to rock bottom price) but Sam's quote included a better quality Bryant heat pump and a slim line condenser. The first company quoted with a Day and Night and the second company offered a Gree and both would charge additional for a slim line condenser. Sam was always easy to reach if I had questions for my HOA architectural approval, permits from Foster City (the building department is very...particular), or Peninsula Clean Energy loan and rebates. I couldn't be happier with the entire process with Plum, the work, or the interaction with installers Jake and Han who were professional, polite, and very clean. I am now enjoying my energy efficient heat pump and am ready for the heat! I highly, highly recommend Plum.

    Nest system working perfectly

    Sam and his crew really went above and beyond to make sure our HVAC system (dual heat pump/furnace) was perfect. Sam even drove out on his day off and made a special trip to Home Depot to get things just right. And now our system works perfectly! Would definitely recommend.

    I talked with several HVAC companies to replace my old system. After all the research and getting several quotes, I decided to work with Sam. He is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. Their pricing was very fair compared to other quotes. They installed a dual system ( Heat pump + Furnace). It works perfectly!

Michael Calvey thoroughly explained all of the options for our house's specific HVAC needs and was very patient with me as I asked a variety of questions. In fact, he made numerous trips to our house to answer the constant flow of questions my wife and I had. Bottom line, we built a solid working relationship with Michael and this gave us the comfort we needed to move forward with our HVAC investment. Calvey Heating and Air's estimate for a new heat pump and furnace at our house was very competitive. I was amazed at how much the pricing varied from vendor to vendor. Michael and the Calvey team made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Michael recommended an electrician who did a great job with our electric panel upgrade and the permit team did a fantastic job working with the city for all of the required paperwork. When it came time for the installation, the lead installer, Servando, and his team took pride in their work for the two day install. Similar to Michael, they were patient with me and answered all my questions during the install. Following the install, the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Team promptly arrived and conducted the necessary testing. Lastly, the permit team met with the city building inspector to successfully get the city sign off on all of the work. Throughout the entire process, Calvey Heating and Air did a great job choreographing and managing all aspects of the installation. I was constantly kept informed and Michael and his team visited our house daily during the installation to ensure all was moving forward properly. Lastly, a final walk-through was conducted by Johnny from Calvey ensuring that the install was 100% perfect. Once my wife and I have had time to work with and get familiar with our new system, Michael indicated he will have his team come by our house and balance out our vents if needed and answer any additional questions we may have. Overall, my wife and I cannot be happier with our decision to have Calvey Heating and Air install our new system. Their service was great from start to finish and there were no hiccups. We highly recommend them. Thank you Michael Calvey!

Michael came out to my house and walked me through the pros and cons of a heat pump HVAC. For my home, the extra money made no sense. I really do not need central AC. We then talked about a new Carrier, high-efficency furnace. That was exactly what I needed. I also opted for the Ecobee Smart, wi-fi enabled thermostat. I am extremely happy with everything. The price was right. The installation was flawless. The post-intall QA walkghrough, by Johnny, went really well. ThenI worked with the folks that checked all the boxes post-intalleation. HERS test was easy with a pass.. Today, we passed the inspection, in under 5 minute. Every person I dealt with was amiable and professiona. The office staff always very nice. Michael Calvey was a joy to talk to. Thank you to Johnny, the project manager, and the folks from HOPSTER that facilitated the post-installation test and inspectioin. From start to finish I met with Michael on February 12th. The 16th the new furnace was intalled. February 17th Johnny did the QA walkthrough. February 18th HOPSTER did their pre-test and inspection walkthrough. The HERS test was done February 23rd. March 5th the city inspection was complete. I will continue to use Calvey for annual maintenance

We had no idea when it was last serviced or if it had ever been serviced at all. Henry gave us a very fair and competitive price for a tune up. Upon Henry's arrival, he was friendly and professional. He opened the furnace and showed us the burner. He explained it was in great condition considering the age of the unit and it didn't need servicing; although, he did clean up around a few areas around the burner. The blower motor was slightly wobbly, and once again, he explained it was still in good shape considering its age. He proceeded to the back patio where the condenser was located. He noted the unit was very old and that particular Freon is no longer available for servicing; however, he stated the unit did not need to be replaced just yet as long as it's blowing cold. Henry indicated despite our units being way past their anticipated life expectancy, they were clean and blowing hot & cold just fine. Therefore, no servicing was recommended and he did not charge us anything. We are impressed not only by Henry's friendliness and professionalism, but also by his transparency and integrity. Many other companies would have hopped on the opportunity to upsell the service or even sway us to replace our system right away, but Henry gave us peace of mind to give us time and to save up for an inevitable replacement in the future with Therma Tech. Thank you so much, Henry! We will definitely contact you again in the future and recommend you to all our family, friends and coworkers.

I met with three HVAC contractors and Noam was the only HVAC contractor who honestly told me that I didn't need a new furnace, but I needed to remove the asbestos in my attic and get new attic insulation. The other HVAC contractors were not qualified to help me with my attic insulation and one contractor said I had no asbestos, but Noam , who is certified for asbestos removal, said I did have asbestos. I have peace of mind knowing that Noam was honest with me in telling me what I truly needed. His crew also did an excellent job installing my garage roof insulation with a ceiling fan. My garage gets incredibly hot in the summer. I look forward to having a cooler garage and house during the hot summers and a warmer house during the winters. I highly recommend All Bay Insulation & HVAC. My doorbell was not working and when Alonzo from All Bay Insulation & HVAC went into the attic, he discovered that the wire to the doorbell was cut and the wire next to the doorbell ringer was also cut. Since we don't know who cut the wire, Noam offered to have Alonzo install a new wire for free. Alonzo had to break through my kitchen wall to install the wire and when he repatched the wall, the wall looked good as new. You cannot tell that the wall was re-opened to install a wire. My doorbell now works perfectly, and thanks to Noam, I didn't have to pay a cent for this repair.

They were done within two days and I was able to keep working while they were here! That's the overview. Here's the long story. I had a maintenance plan for our furnace through another company. They inspected the furnace and freaked me out when they said they couldn't do maintenance because of exposed asbestos in the ducts! Ugh! Even with my "special" plan pricing, their rate to remove and abate the asbestos (through a third party) and replace with new ductwork was very high. I saw All Bay and asked for an estimate. His team included removal, remediation, new ducting and insulation, new furnace - oh and cleaned the attic and installed new batting for the same price as the other company's quote. Plus the photos of previous work and their reviews sealed the deal. Done with all of it in two and a 1/2 days. The half was because they had a team that just cleaned and touched up behind the first team! These guys were so kind and worked fast. They even hauled out and disposed of some things a previous contractor had left in the crawl space without me knowing it was even down there! Then when we realized the fan in the bathroom wasn't working after the attic clean out and new insulation, the foreman himself came out to fix it. Pasquale had everything fixed within hours. If you're thinking of squeezing out another year with your old furnace, consider this - our PGE bill dropped by 100 with the new insulation, proper duct size and new furnace. That's 1200 in one year. Noam can help with that. He did not give me anything nor ask for any of this. This is for y'all doing your due diligence when it comes to home repairs. I feel you and it's been constant contractors in and out since we moved in. This team cared and I can't say that about many of the others.

The refrigerator side was still working because it has a dual cooling system with separate compressor. I reached out to Subzero for help, but all they could recommend is that I reached out to Box Appliance which is their preferred repair shop in the SF Bay Area which I already knew before calling. When I told Subzero that the earliest appointment with Box was 15 days later, the phone rep told me that she would reach out to Subzero to expedite the request, but in the end no one from Box got back to me for an earlier appointment. Don't who dropped the ball along the way but I as the customer was left in the cold, even though I got a Subzero but apparently means little when it comes to support. In search for other repair service, I came across Spark Appliance which got many great review. I decided to give Spark Appliance a try. The owner Eli quickly responded to my request and came over the next day. He quickly diagnose the problem to be a relay part issue to the compressor and was 99% sure to be the case. Fortunately, he had the part in the truck so was able to replace it right away. Additionally, he cleaned up my very dusty machinery to keep the refrigerator running efficiently. My freezer is still running fine few days later after the fix, so I can confidently say the problem was correctly resolved. I was lucky to have found Spark Appliance through this ordeal even though Box or Subzero did not come through. I found Eli and Spark Appliance to be experienced, reliable and honest, and I won't hesitate to call them again whenever I have future appliances issues (they work on all things appliances and not just refrigerator!)
