A-1 Heating and Cooling is excellent. We will use them again. This was a big and expensive job for us. Our 23 year old central air conditioning system finally broke down on the hottest day of the year and my elderly mother cannot handle heat. A-1 came over the house the day I called, immediately gave me a written quote, and they kept to the penny through the entire installation of 2 central air conditioning systems, one for upstairs and one for downstairs.
Their bid was $1000 less than the nearest competitor (I had 3 bids). The A-1 people were all extremely professional gentlemen, neat and well-groomed in appearance, and very courteous. We were comfortable having them in our home. They were very careful of the house and floors and laid down coverings to protect them. A problem came up because they were connecting a new system to an older system at my request, and they returned quickly, in less than one day, and fixed the problem with no additional charge.
The gentlemen had to access the attic (which was very hot) and the crawl space (which is very tight) but were pleasant and reassuring throughout the entire process. We will definitely call them again when needed!

Good customer support, and responsive. I used them to install HVAC through Lowes. I had a minor water dripping issue with the system after 10 months, and they fixed it within 48 hours from reporting at no charge. I do recommend them as HVAC provider. Bay-Area in general is very expensive, and they provided me with competitive offer relative to other providers in the area. Overall, I am happy customer.

Steve arrived and answered all of my questions. The furnace is 22 years old and is noisy, but really no different than the 1st day we used it. He said it looked good. We discussed the new units are more efficient and quieter. I will be calling the office to get a quote. It was wonderful to have someone so professional! Thank you Steve and A1 heating and cooling!

Excellent experience all around with A-1 on our furnace replacement. Arranged through Lowe's. Knowledgeable, experienced staff. Quick turnaround with competitive quote. Good followup and guidance from sales staff. Prompt appointment for installation. Expert installation work. Passed third-party and city inspections. Furnace works fine. Be aware that modern furnaces have a noisier exhaust flue than older furnaces like our 50 year old Sears Homart. You may not want the exhaust pipe near your bedroom window or your neighbor's bedroom window. We had ours installed in the front of the house, exiting from under the porch.

A-1 really came through for us. Our heater failed on Christmas day and they met with us two days later to assess the problem and two days later they replaced our failed furnace. Very satisfied with the sales and installation experience. Service: Heating system installation
