Calvey Heating & Air

I called Joe to come out and give us an estimate to install a new AC and to replace our existing heater and duct work. Joe was easy to reach and was able to make it out to give us a quote within a couple days even though it was the middle of a big heat wave.

Joe was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable about the equipment and installation we had in mind. He understood the scope of the project and was able to offer suggestions, such as adding an additional vent in one of our larger rooms, that would make the unit function more efficiently. He did not try to upsell us on equipment or services. He said we probably did not need new ducting for example, and also gave us information on a more moderately-priced heater. He was also very familiar with all of the permits required by San Jose for installation and moving the heating unit. His company arranges for the plumber to be present while the city inspector comes out for the permit, which is very convenient.

The main reason we did not accept the bid from Calvey was that we have two small children who need their naps and the bid from Calvey was estimated to take a day or two longer than the company we decided to go with. We were really torn between two great companies and were sorry not to get to work with Joe and his team!
