Quick response. Came out the next day. Great quality work and a fair price. Will use them to add a zone AC later this year.

It took about 10 minutes. They took off the cover and were able to immediately point at the problem. The large capacitor that is used to boost the startup of the compressor was expanded like a can of fruit going bad. They replaced the capacitor and all was well again. Wonderul.

Highly recommended. Ricardo is a very honest and professional person. This is the only company that will give you an honest estimate. Others (you will easily find who they are) will never give you an estimate regardless how precisely you describe the necessary repair job. They charge you $30, $50, or $200 for so called "diagnostic", which is 2 minutes of work, and then blackmail you with arbitrary negotiable price. I am writing this because I called a company that charged me $30 to to tell me what I know and then requested $1200 (subsequently negotiated and reduced to $850) for a 10 minute job (replacement of a faulty motor attached with 3 screws), what I rejected. Bayhill Heat & Air requested the description of the problem, then provided a fixed estimate where the total labor was $180. Every company can replace a motor, but this can be done in an honest way or in a way which first humiliates the customer and then blackmails and overcharges. I think that my contact with Bayhill Heat & Air was a positive experience, and in particular I would like to recommend Ricardo as a man who speaks in a direct and honest way, gives reasonable advises and performs repair on time for a very reasonable price.

heating system was evaluated, diagnosed, and repaired as needed while the house was under contract with a buyer. I have recommended to the new owner to use bayhill.

December 2017 Ricardo Valderrama, Owner of Bayhill & Air came to give us a quote. He's a pleasant man and charged a fair price so this is not an easy review to give. I am permanently handicapped and realized we were off to a bad start when He replaced our old thermostat and left, but failed to connect the wires and the heater wouldn't start. Me and my young children spent a very cold night (40 degrees) without heat. I asked Mr. Valderrama about attic insulation. He inspected the attic and told me it wasn't needed. Later, PG&E determined insulation was very inadequate. When the installers arrived a few weeks later, they brought the wrong materials and couldn't install in the backyard as agreed. So they tried to convince me to install the unit in the middle of the walkway. This is a violation of safety code and would block the path to the back yard. They said they didn't have time to go get the necessary materials. So we spent another very cold night, (43 degrees) with my 1 and 5 year old children. They also damaged an expensive bush, broke our gate and dented the air conditioner. I've tried 23 times (!) by phone, email and text since December 2017 to get this resolved. I like Ricardo, but unfortunately, after a year-and-a-half, I have no other choice but to take him to small claims court.

Me Valderrama was on time and quickly diagnosed the ignition problem with our furnace. He also performed the work quickly and added a little info about the furnace. Definitely will hire again.

Excellent service. Our heater quit working on a Friday evening. We called the after hours number and quickly got a return call. Ricardo came out on Saturday morning to inspect our 21 year unit and determined that it was an electrical problem. He explained the cost difference between repair and replace and we decided to get a new unit. His team was at the house Monday morning at 9 am and they finished removing the old unit and installing the new one that same afternoon. The work was done professionally and the new heater and thermostat are great. Top marks! We definitely recommend their work.

Ricardo came out and looked at my furnace, and gave me the options: repair it (after which it would only last a couple years anyway), or replace it, and at the same time move the return from the wall of the living room (where it was always blocked by furniture and was VERY noisy while watching TV) to the hallway. Getting the two things done together made more financial sense in the long run, so that's what we did.
Work started the very next day, and was done in less than a day and a half. (I did get lucky in that another big job cancelled on them, so his crew was free to start right away. YMMV.) The work they did appears to be excellent. The furnace is much quieter, and the house warms up very quickly. The crew was very good: even though they had to come back the second day to finish up, they worked very hard to make sure the furnace was at least hooked up and working so I didn't have to spend the night without heat. And they left the work site clean, which is nice.
Overall, the process was much less trouble than I thought it would be, and now I have a nice warm house! Would definitely use them again.

"Dear [Member Name Removed]. We have sent you the report and an Invoice for the inspection to your email. [email protected]. Normally we don't carry air filters on our service trucks, could you tell me the size of the filter and I will send you a box, for the inconvenience and please accept my apologies for the poor performance of the service.

I would definitely call Bayhill Heat & Air again. The person who answered the phone was very pleasant. Ricardo then called back quickly and scheduled a time to come look at my non-working AC today. He arrived promptly, figured out what was wrong with my AC, and fixed it. It was already 86 degrees in my house when he arrived, so I'm thrilled to have my AC working again! Thanks!!

Called them on a Sunday when the gas heater stopped working. Answering service picked up and said that someone would call back. Ricardo called back in 10-15 minutes and said he would drop by in under an hour and have a look. He actually arrived in just 30 minutes and went up the attic to look at the furnace. He then described the problem and gave me options on repairing it /replacing it. Once we decided to replace it he set up an appointment for the next day. They, 3 technicians, arrived on monday morning at 8:30AM, and finished the job in about 3 hours. They started by protecting the floors from dust and shoes and proceeded to replace the heater. The job was done professionally with care. They also replaced the thermostat with one I had bought. They asked me to inspect work and made sure that I was satisfied. They cleaned up thoroughly behind them and left no dust/garbage on the floors. The area where they installed the furnace was cleaner then when they started on. Ricardo himself was present while heater was being installed and checked up on it and tested it before leaving. Overall they did a great job at bringing the heat back on as quickly as possible.

Working with Ricardo and Bayhill could not have been more cooperative and ideal. Ricardo takes get care and time to explain deteails, yet with an economy of words. Benny oversaw the three fine men who removed our old furnace and leaking ducts, then cleanly and proficiently installed the new ducts and high efficiency furnace all in three delightful days. We're warm again and saving lots of energy.

The technician was very nice, he fixed the heater that was broken. I also needed to have another heater replaced and he was supposed to give us a call back after he found some pricing and never called us back.

They came out right away. They did what we asked them to do and quickly. The owner came out and he was fine. Their price wasn’t cheap.

The work was done quickly and professionally with minimal impact. There was a slight gas odor the next morning (a little disturbing), and they returned within a few hours after it was reported to fix it. No problems since then--the furnace is working fine.
