Albert Nahman Services was founded in 1981 and has been serving Berkeley, CA and it surrounding areas in all their plumbing and HVAC needs. Each of our technicians went through rigorous training so we can guarantee that you will be receiving the proper service. We are also insured and supply a warranty for our parts for five years and up to twenty years on an re-piping or sewer replacement. Call us now to make your appointment!

"The plumbing technicians came out as promised to assess the leak. They were both very courteous and kind and assessed the damage. I am giving three stars because they estimated the cost to be almost 250% higher than what the actual cost was to fix the issue. I am sure there are customers out there that would just accept any bid however, please get multiple beds for these projects, especially when working with this company as they will inflate the cost to take advantage of the situation. I ended up only paying for the $79 estimate."

"Called this company for their $77 dollar, which they advertised with a flyer, for a tune-up and cleaning for my heating system. They are a Hayward company and I was told that our Castro Valley home was not in their service area. I bet if I called to buy a new heater they would be out in a day."

We are independent energy consultants who reduced our own energy use and saved several hundreds of dollars monthly on our utility bill and made our homes more comfortable and now are helping others achieve similar results. We are not contractors. We do not get paid based on the recommendations we make or the recommendations you choose to do. We want to provide you with what you need to do, explain why you need to do it so that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Once you've made the decision on what you want to do, after having all the information necessary to make an informed decision, we will help you implement your decision. We have vetted many home performance contractors and we know they will do the quality work you want and deserve. There are PGE rebates available and financing available that we will show you how to leverage to your advantage. So give us a try. You'll be glad you did.

"Vincent and his assistant Sergei took on a difficult job of installing a stove top and a downdraft fan that posed some challenges of fitting into an existing counter space. An installer sent by the dealer failed at this task but they were careful and creative in finding solutions. We appreciated the attention to detail and their hard work - and the result was fabulous. Not least, the price was reasonable and both of them were easy and pleasant to work with. No hesitation in recommending their services."

"Had them out about 7 months ago to replace insides of my dryer as it was not working. Thought they did the job as our dryer worked. Then two days later the credit card I used to pay them had several unauthorized charges on it. Now 7 months later my dryer needs to be fixed again, with all of the rollers replaced, which is what they said they did 7 months ago. They are crooks. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY."

"Tony and his team from Duran HVAC are the A team!! I give them an A++ on their work for us. Tony came out and has very helpful in thinking about the overall job, and we discussed options. His team led by Paul then came out and completed all the work described above in 4 days. Tony came by and checked on the work progress as well. This team is so skilled at what they do, they are a pleasure to work with, very careful with tarps and cleaning up each day, and the work has been completely superbly! They tested the system at the end of the last day and showed me how to program the two thermostats. They are the best! This is the beginning of an excellent long-term customer-service relationship. I will definitely be asking them to come back and handle the yearly maintenance checks of the systems. It is wonderful to find a team you know are highly competent, reliable, and great to work with! I highly recommend them to others! Do yourself a favor and call Tony at Duran HVAC now! You'll be very happy you did!"

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Replacing a window frame will improve your home’s energy efficiency if the old frame is cracked or damaged in a way that allows unconditioned air from the outside into your living space or if you upgrade to a more energy-efficient window frame material. Aluminum is the least energy-efficient window frame material, followed by vinyl and wood. Fiberglass and composite frames are the most energy-efficient.

Fireplaces can theoretically help you save on heating bills if you lower the temperature throughout the rest of your home and heat only a single room that you occupy using the fireplace. However, in most cases, homeowners won’t save any money on heating bills. Gas and electric fireplace inserts could actually lead to a spike in your respective energy bills if you use them frequently, and if you don’t keep up with chimney maintenance and repairs, your traditional masonry fireplace could actually be a source of heat loss in the winter.

A good SEER rating is between 15 and 20. However, if you want the best possible efficiency, look for HVAC units with a SEER rating higher than 21. Keep in mind that the SEER rating doesn’t mean that the unit will reach that efficiency all the time, but it does have the capacity to operate at that high of an efficiency level.

A home energy audit costs about $420 on average, ranging from about $100 to $2,250 or more. Cost factors include the size of your home, the type of testing, and the thoroughness of the audit. A Level 1 walk-through inspection will cost between $150 and $200 for the auditor to point out inefficiencies in your home. On the other hand, a more thorough Level 3 audit with testing and a detailed report will cost about $900.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
