Top-Notch Work by All Fresh Temp! I couldn't be happier with…read morethe job All Fresh Temp did on my air ducts and sewer lines. Their team showed up right on time, worked fast, and made a huge, complex job completely stress-free. Since they wrapped up, the difference is night and day.

To all my neighbors here in the Willow Glen community, if you're looking for a reliable, hard-working crew to handle your home's air and plumbing needs, I can't recommend All Fresh Temp highly enough!

After getting quotes from five vendors, I chose Aircare as they did the proper best practices…read moreassessment to size the heat pump that we bought to replace the conventional 20 yr old Lennox Heating and Cooling HVAC System) in our home. It's important that it's sized properly so its running most efficiently and Aircare was the only one that did the work that was recommended to accomplish this task. Roberto, the salesperson used his iPad to LIDAR map rooms to measure the cubic space for the estimate. So we moved forward with a Bryant three ton slim preferred series unit for our home at approximately 2000 square feet. The Mediterranean climate in Silicon Valley is a great match for a modern heat pump, and it frees us from a gas usage, which is increasingly expensive . The install terminating gas for heat qualifies for a $1500 rebate plus a $2000 tax credit. Of note Roberto spent almost 2 hours on site answering all my questions and doing the estimation, and linked me up with a service called HomeIntel, which works with PGE to optimize your energy usage in your home by analyzing your patterns looking at your account. It was quite helpful and free. In all this process really helped seal the deal in my eyes. Scheduling was easy for the installation, which started on time and took over two days. It's quite a bit of work to remove the old system and piping to then install brand new properly. It's very key to replace the refrigerant lines as the refrigerant is different than the old system and if the two get mixed in the lines, even if they've been so-called purged, it can contaminate and destroy the new system, so it's highly recommended that you always replace the refrigerant lines with this type of installation. Installer techs Kintroy and Dennis were meticulous, system experts, and very friendly. They worked hard and did a fantastic job getting the system installed over two days which included redoing the air intake ducts and enlarging one of the ceiling intakes. System came with a Bryant branded Ecobee thermostat which we had to have swapped out because the first one had a defect, second one is fine. Inspections - Another reason I chose Aircare is that they handled the entire city permit process for me other than I needed to be present for the inspector. The other vendors were not willing to deal with the full permit and rectify issues at their full cost if issues were found by the inspectors. When you spend the kind of money that you have to on a system like this, which is north of $15,000, I expect that the contractor will handle the permit. An installation like this requires two inspections, one feeds into the other. The first is required to drive the rebates and measures if the system is sealed, and is operating with proper airflow capacity. The second is the standard installation city safety and code based inspection. Passed the first with no issues, and the inspection with the city went quickly with no problems because the Aircare team did the job properly. The city inspector checked key items and commented that Aircare had really done a good job, that others that he has seen don't. I waited to do this review until we ran the system for a bit, so now it's been about two months and we are so satisfied. This is the first time in the 10 year ownership of this house where we truly have a set and forget efficient system that does not have to work very hard to keep the house heated or cooled. I highly recommend a heat pump system, especially if you have a solar system. Some installers will claim that you need to have the solar system in order for the heat pump to pay off because the heat pump uses only electricity, doesn't use gas at all, and can use electricity at a higher rate than the previous type of system. My experience is if the unit is sized correctly and you have good attic insulation, the system does not have to run very long or very hard to manage the temperature in the home. It operates so quietly both inside and outside that you forget you have an HVAC system compared to what we used to experience which was more like a jet engine, When combined with a smart thermostat, which you can inform about your type of PG&E plan it intelligently minimizes impact based on the rate you pay. If you happen to have solar like us, it is even a better. Bottom line need more vendors like Aircare. Thank you!

I was not looking for duct sealing, rather I thought I needed an expensive cleaning and new…read moreequipment. Alex reached out to me and slowly I came to realize that maybe duct sealing might be worth exploring. Our home was built in the mid-2000's so I initially thought there could be nothing wrong. After some testing by Alex's team we learned that our blower was not properly sealed along with nearly every duct upstairs. Downstairs was leaking 11% and upstairs by over 20%! The original installer had left a gap that was the size of small bathroom window causing a lot of inefficiency in our HVAC. Imagine trying to cool your home in the summer with a bathroom window left open. Further, had I elected to purchase $50k in new equipment I likely would not have passed the testing with the duct leakage and had to purchase this service anyway. I would suggest that the average homeowner probably does not fully recognize how these systems are sized and balanced to deliver comfort, nor the benefits of sealing. In my case, I was likely spending 25%+ more on energy than necessary for the HVAC design and putting the equipment at risk of early failure. Alex does an excellent job of explaining how and why sealing delivers cost savings and improves comfort. The testing and remediation staff were very professional and orderly. I don't have a full year yet of a/c bills to compare, but I can tell from heating alone that rooms are getting better airflow. The final test results took what was an average of 15% air loss to less than 1%. The service is not cheap, but I believe it will payback over the next few years and delay the need for new equipment. If you know you want sealing this company is fantastic! If you want to learn more about sealing and how it can help improve your situation, Alex at MaxSeal will explain it honestly and without pressure. They are worth the time to investigate.

Many thanks to the Universal Insulation team for doing such a great job on my attic from start to…read morefinish. We purchased our home many years ago and didn't realize how much of a mess the attic truly was until Universal Insulation completed an assessment in preparation for a possible heat pump installation next year. We're so grateful to have found a company we could trust to do things the right way. During my correspondence with Marko, Marko arranged for an assessment to be conducted by Nicholas. From the initial assessment, Nicholas was incredibly patient in addressing all our concerns and questions -- especially since we are very "hands on" homeowners. Once the contract was signed, Ann promptly scheduled us for the next available appointment and provided clear, detailed instructions on how to prepare before their arrival. The meticulous process began with removing the old insulation and debris, vacuuming the attic floor, and sanitizing the space. The next step was ensuring the attic was structurally sound and ready for new insulation. Because of the care and attention to detail that Marko, Miguel, and Nicholas put into every part of the job, we ended up with a dry, well insulated, properly ventilated, and easily accessible attic. If you're looking for an excellent insulation company, I highly recommend the team at Universal Insulation, Inc. -- they are truly competent professionals who take pride in doing things the right way.
