Henos, Temeskin and HT did an excellent job for us. They were very thorough and straightforward to…read morework with. We faced intermittent issues with our furnace sometimes not turning on and considered whether it was time to replace it completely based on the age of the unit and prior repairs. We got Henos to come do some checks and give us another opinion. No evidence was found of the furnace itself malfunctioning (no CO leaks etc.) instead our issue was the zone control board power and sensor connections and a faulty thermostat.

We worked with Kevinn for a duct replacement in our house…read more He and his team did a great job with a reasonable price. They arrived timely, worked very clean and finished the work in the estimated time. Team is very polite to any of our questions and directions. There was a little unintentional issue with the flooring during boot installation from the crawl space, he found a floor handyman to fix it in a few days for free. Even that guy went anove and beyond and fixed a few other small issues. I definitely will work with them for a bigger project like AC unit replacement in the future.

Kevinn's AC & Heating:…read more My mom's ancient AC unit apparently decided it preferred death to battling an Antioch heatwave. Seriously, the timing was impeccable - my mom and her 4 spoiled dogs were sweating buckets, but then Kevinn's AC & Heating swooped in to the rescue! Kevinn was so responsive, I think he might have an extra sense for impending meltdowns. He showed up for a no-charge, thorough evaluation and patiently explained everything. No pushy sales tactics, which was a relief. Just good, honest service. The written estimate was clearer than my future retirement plans, and what sealed the deal was the 2-year labor, 10-year parts warranty, AND a yearly cleaning. That's not just value; that's like finding a personal chef/trainer that also does your laundry and taxes. He was very confident in his work! The very next day, the installation was so quick and professional. My mom was elated and impressed. It's genuinely tough to find businesses this dependable, especially when your house feels like Death Valley in the middle of summer. So, if you're in the East Bay and dreading those annual heatwaves, do yourself a favor and call Kevinn's AC & Heating. They'll keep you nice and cool, literally! My mom AND her bossy pups are ever so grateful to know that they'll be able to enjoy a cool refreshing oasis in the summer heat. Thank you Kevinn!

The pricing was also very fair for the quality of work they delivered. We had a heat pump and AC system installed along with a Google Nest, and everything was done very clean and efficiently.

This team was the only one that managed to schedule a same-day visit. They arrived on time, clearly explained what was causing the issue, and got the furnace running again during the same appointment. The pricing felt reasonable for the work performed, and they provided a warranty on the repair, which gave us extra peace of mind. The overall experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. I would definitely consider using their services again if we ever need HVAC help. Thanks again guys!

I highly recommend them!

Before my HVAC system ever went out, I was already doing my homework. I gathered multiple quotes,…read morelooked past the flashy wrapped trucks and big name marketing, and actually read the fine print. What I found surprised me: several companies were essentially selling me a warranty I already had through the manufacturer and in some cases, pitching a third warranty on top of a home warranty I already carried. That's a tough sell. After comparing bids, I chose Urban City Mechanical and I'm genuinely glad I did. I was already familiar with Shaun's work and reputation, and the experience more than confirmed it. He was honest, knowledgeable, and refreshingly straightforward. No pressure, no unnecessary upsells, no gimmicks. He even flagged things I hadn't thought to ask about, which I really appreciated. His attention to detail was second to none. Simply put: best price, best work, and everything my family needed in a single bid quality and value, all in one. Yes, HVAC costs can be significant, and the larger companies will often push you toward financing that can exceed $30,000. If you're a homeowner in the East Bay, do yourself a favor and give Urban City Mechanical a serious look. You won't regret it. One last tip for fellow homeowners: read your home warranty contract carefully. Not all policies cover refrigerant leaks, and you don't want to learn that the hard way. My personal choice has been First American Home Warranty, and it's been worth it.

He explained how my heater and my air conditioner worked, showed me how to clean them, how to change my filter, and checked my wiring while he was at it. Turns out it's my outlet, so I need an electrician. Even though he couldn't fix the main issue he gave me the background I need to prevent a future one. He is truly awesome!

My A/C was making gurgling noises and the drain pipe had not been draining properly. So I called…read moreOtter to have someone inspect what was going on. Before Vlad, from Otter, arrived I had spoken with a different HVAC company who said I would need to replace the coil and condenser... the other company said that would cost close to $9,500. Whoa! So I looked up some other possible solutions. I tried cleaning the drain pipe and low and behold the A/C stopped making the gurgling sound and began dripping out the pvc drain pipe. I completed the fix just as Vlad was arriving. He confirmed that was likely the issue and did not suggest that I replace the coil and condenser. He seemed very considerate and was not out to scam me out of any money purchasing anything I did not need.

I can't recommend the Otter HVAC team highly enough. We recently replaced two aging AC/furnace…read moresystems with new heat pump systems, and it turned out to be quite a challenging project. There were numerous obstacles along the way, including electrical work, ducting modifications, pressure testing, and other unexpected issues. Throughout the entire project, Mike and Roman were absolutely outstanding. They were relentless in solving every problem, never took shortcuts, and were always willing to discuss ideas and find the best solution with our long-term interests in mind. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and commitment to doing the job right were evident every single day. On top of their technical expertise, they were friendly, professional, punctual, and incredibly respectful of our home. And despite long hours some days, always with a smile. It was genuinely a pleasure working with them throughout the project. Thank you to Mike, Roman, and the entire Otter HVAC team for an exceptional experience. If you're looking for an HVAC company that truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction, I wholeheartedly recommend Otter HVAC.

Great company! I…read morehad a leak in my ceiling and called an HVAC company to come out as I thought it was the furnace but they diagnosed it as a clogged dryer vent (and not something they work upon). I messaged Innovative Air Flow about the issue and they replied within 10 minutes and they sent a two-man team out within hours. The vent was cleaned from the outside in and they were done within 35 minutes. The vent was clogged up with a LARGE amount of damp or wet lint. They did recommend that we replace the entire run of the vent as it had likely never been cleaned since our home was built in 2000. The estimate was $1500 for the replacement run. We'll have to wait to do that one, but I know who we'll be going with for our future need. There is only one caveat though: they only take cash or check. I wish I had know before, as my service was $140 and I only had 2 $100 bills and had to scrounge the entire house to find a $10. (Thankfully they were SUPER kind and adjusted the service rate!) Once again, great company with quick response times and efficient and kind employees!

With a new baby in the house, that really didn't work and our landlord gave us a budget to get the work done. I talked pricing with Joseph, was up front about my budget, and they made it work. Not only that, they were great! David was early to our appointment window and walked through the house with me to note all the vents. He was considerate and very nice to work with. With our newborn, he warned us of the noise and worked around us and the baby. He worked efficiently and quickly to get it all done - definitely no waiting around for us! He was straight forward about everything. The biggest compliment I can give is that after he left, my mother-in-law commented, "THAT is how you should do business." We will be using these guys again whenever we need another cleaning or have a furnace issue.

OMG, Gerald is SO knowledgeable about residential boilers and heat pumps! He is super familiar with…read moreour old Munchkin boiler, that he kept a graveyard of them as a source of parts for the now-discontinued product. He was very responsive to our no-heat, no-hot-water situation and made room in his schedule to get it fixed right away. He knew why the boiler had failed and what was needed to prevent it from failing again. He charged less for the whole job than another contractor was going to charge just for the parts. As well we discussed heat pumps, and he was fully aware of what would need to be changed with our system to use a heat pump instead of a gas boiler. The guy knows his stuff, is responsible, and is a straight shooter. He saved us from out boiler outage quickly, and we have found our guy to install a heat pump. I could not recommend him more.
