"Of all the people I've had work on my home renovation in the last year, these guys were my favorite. Prompt, professional, honest, and reliable. When Duke came to give us the estimate, my 2 year old daughter wanted to give him a hug before he left which is unprecedented. That pretty much sealed the deal for us. They were also far and away the most reasonable quote we got. Even a friend quoted us $1500 more for less work. The installers were on time and knew their stuff. The install work is top notch as well. Everything in place and looks well put together. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work."

"I first contacted Valley to get a quote on how much it would cost to get air conditioning installed. I live in an older town home that is approximately 1100 sq. ft. They sent someone out to take a look and see what was involved. He was very professional and explained what was involved including getting permits from the city. He quoted the amount and provided me with an invoice. I contacted them 3 months later to say I was ready for the install. The installation turned out to be quite challenging due to the way my home is constructed, but Valley made it work. The service person had to stay a few hours longer but I wasn't charged anything extra for it. They stuck with the amount of the estimate that was quoted. It's only been a couple of months since the install, but I have to say my only complaint at this point is how cold it gets when I turn on the air. But that's a nice problem to have. :)"

"Air conditioner was blowing ambient air only. Tried to contact my usual HVAC company and they were scheduled out 3 weeks because of the recent heat wave. I called 14 companies to check on availability and Comfort Energy was the only one who had an opening within the week. I confirmed with them and was very pleasantly surprised. They confirmed not only the day and time, but also the exact make, model, ans serial number of the unit to ensure they had all the information they needed. In the meantime, my husband was able to get the unit going by installing a new capacitor himself, which he had done in the past, but wanted to go ahead with the service call so we could have the whole system checked out in case there were other issues. The day before the appointment, I received a text confirming the appointment time. I asked that the service technician call 30 minutes before arrival, which he did. The technician, Nasser Pineda, is a fine representative for his company. He was polite, respectful of both my husband and me, and took time at the start of the service call to go over what he would be doing and how he hoped to provide us with the best service we had ever had. He said that the goal of Comfort Energy was to provide us with service above and beyond expectations. He did not fail us. He even wore booties so that he did not track dirt into the house. My husband followed him around asking questions and he was patient and knowledgeable. Nasser also told us about their yearly service plan which would ensure service checkups before the heat of the summer and for the heater before winter cold months. That, plus the guarantee that we would get priority appointment times even during heavy demand, has clinched our participation. Nasser and Comfort Energy know how to do it right; ensure that the client doesn't want to go anywhere else for their HVAC service."

"Alanis Air did a great job with my HVAC project. John Alanis answered all my questions and worked with me in deciding which system I should choose when replacing my very old system. His crew completed the work in one day, cleaned up the area and disposed of my old system. They were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Alanis Air for any of your HVAC needs! Thank you John, Santiago, Angel and Ismael :-)"

"Great team! Mark, Sergii and Pavel replaced my furnace and installed an AC. It was a real pleasure to work with them. Mark listened carefully and provided several options for me to choose from. He was also flexible on scheduling the work to match my family needs. Sergii and Pavel performed the installation exactly as planned, kept the house clean, and payed a lot of attention to the aesthetics of the visible parts of the system. They explained to me where they'd run the lines, what were the options and why they preferred one over the other. I'm very happy with the choice of brand and model and with the installation. The team really cares about their customers. Thank you!"

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Atherton, CA

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.

While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.  

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
