They came at the appointment time, diagnosed the problem, had the part on the truck, and fixed the furnace in one visit.

Rob made an extra effort to come and correct our heater problem on the same day we called him. He was courteous and professional. explaining to my wife (who was the one home when he came) what was wrong and what the options were to fix it. We were very pleased with the results!

Consumer from Oakland, CA

I highly recommend this company. El Cerrito heating came to my Oakland home only an hour after I called and discovered that the gas furnace only needed a filter replacement. PG&E inspected the furnace a few days before and said he igniter needed to be replaced and that is what I asked to be done when I called. Obviously, the technician was an honest person. Problem solved in five minutes and the tech asked for less than the minimum of what they charge for a House call.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
