Fast response, professional and very reasonable rates. Did not once feel like I was getting oversold. Will absolutely call again for all HVAC needs read more

Tl;dr: Marcelo is a consummate professional and did exactly what we wanted for a very very reasonable price. Marcelo came highly recommended from my significant other, and I was not disappointed! I did get a number of quotes for our project to make sure I did my due diligence, and he provided the most budget friendly quote by a pretty significant margin. We decided to get a mini split heat pump installed, and he was very up-front with the pricing and what he would ask from me. I was responsible for pulling the building permit, but it wasn't very difficult to do, and by my estimate from other quotes I got, it saved us hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. The project started quickly and was done in a few days despite it being rather involved. I had a final building inspection, and it didn't pass on the first go around, but Marcelo came out the very next day to make the minor adjustments required by the inspector. I highly recommend Alaniz HVAC for any project big or small. I will absolutely be calling Marcelo in the future for any of our HVAC needs. read more

Called up to talk with them. They offer fair pricing (and pick up their phone which is not that common these days!)

TL;DR: Marcelo from Alaniz HVAC Services went above and beyond to fix our heat on short notice. His 20 years of experience showed in his quick diagnosis, efficiency, and attention to detail. He arrived fully prepared and explained the repairs in a way we could easily understand. Marcelo is a seasoned professional, transparent about pricing, and genuinely kind. As new homeowners, Alaniz HVAC Services will be our first and only choice for our HVAC needs. Highly recommend! Where do I start? From the very beginning, Marcelo went above and beyond when we called him at the last minute to fix our heat on a Sunday morning. Despite not typically working Sundays, he graciously took the job without hesitation and drove from Hayward to Pacifica to help us. With just an hour's notice, he arrived on time, fully prepared, and ready to work. One of the first things that stood out was his thoughtfulness--without being asked, he put on shoe covers to protect our new floors, a small but meaningful gesture that showed his professionalism and respect for our home. Marcelo's 20 years of industry experience were immediately evident in his deep knowledge, efficient problem-solving, and quality workmanship. After we accidentally blew a transformer while trying to replace our thermostat, he diagnosed the issue instantly and had a solution ready without missing a beat. He came fully equipped with everything he needed in his truck, eliminating any wasted time. And without hesitation, he climbed into our attic and got straight to work repairing the furnace. Marcelo was not only thorough but also incredibly efficient. What truly set him apart was that Marcelo didn't just fix the problem--he took the time to educate us along the way. He explained what went wrong, how he was resolving it, and how to prevent similar issues in the future (hint: call a professional like him before attempting DIY repairs!). His ability to explain things clearly made the experience both educational and engaging, ensuring we fully understood the repair process and our own HVAC system. He completed all the necessary repairs and installed our new Google Nest thermostat--all in under 30 minutes. More impressively, he didn't just install it and leave. He patiently walked us through how to operate the new system, ensuring we felt comfortable using it before he headed out. Marcelo left no stone unturned-- at the end of the repairs and installation, he triple-checked his work, making sure everything was running smoothly. But what truly sets Marcelo apart, though, is his humility and kindness. He explains things in a way that makes sense, even for those with no HVAC knowledge. As a new business owner, he had expressed genuine gratitude for our support, and in our short conversation, we got to know him as a family-oriented professional who treats his customers like family. Beyond his technical skills and authenticity, Marcelo offers some of the most comprehensive and fairly priced HVAC services in the Bay Area. He is upfront and transparent about costs before starting any job, eliminating surprises. Compared to other HVAC businesses, his rates are not only fair but also highly competitive. As new homeowners, Alaniz HVAC Services will be our first and only choice for anything HVAC-related. Whether I need a repair, installation, or routine maintenance, I can count on Marcelo for reliable, top-notch service. He's given my family the gift of warmth and peace of mind, and I have no doubt he'll do the same for you. read more

Marcelo messaged me via Text & called me to schedule on a Saturday. My savior!! Arrived early, diagnosed the problem, explained what was needed, made sure it worked before quoting the repair price. Marcelo definitely is a professional, knowledgeable, & honest person. highly recommend. will use his services in the future. read more

Apart from fixing the problem, Marcelo was helpful in explaining what typically goes wrong with the ac and whats needed to fix it. He was also very prompt in helping at a time of emergency and arrived at short notice. read more

Marcelo was incredible. He was professional and thorough and explained thoroughly what he was doing throughout the repair.

TLDR: Approachable, knowledgeable, and very fair. He empathized with our concerns and communicated his expertise naturally, and we did not feel at all intimidated. We definitely will keep this number handy for our HVAC needs and share it with anyone in the SF Bay Area who asks. Long version: Our AC stopped working around the beginning of May, before the intense heat spells of the South Bay of SF Bay Area. Nonetheless, we were eager to have it fixed asap and relieved to score an appointment for the next morning with Marcelo of Alaniz HVAC Services. He arrived about 10 minutes early and let us know what he planned to do before getting started. We additionally appreciated that he tested key points in our aging system to find the suspected pain point (broken thermostat), and confirm it with a short term fix. He explained the problem, the remedy, and his proposed work. His kind, friendly, and honest demeanor put us at ease and made us feel comfortable to ask any questions or for clarification. The work was neat, thorough, and as quick as our many questions would allow. After the long-term fix (replacing the thermostats), he checked the delivery of cooled air. Marcelo never pressured us to replace our 30+ years old AC units. When we raised questions on them, he pointed out the inventory strain on their models' coolant, confirmed it'd be wise to prepare, and shared his recommendation for units. He was also patient as we tried to absorb and take notes on how we could improve the efficiency of our system and filter changes in the future. Marcelo followed up with a call about 3 weeks later to check the system was still all right and that we were happy with the service, which was a yes to both! We are very happy with the value provided. read more

I am really happy with the service Marcelo provided. I needed my furnace serviced and thermostat replaced. He ran some diagnostic tests and figured out what needed to be done. He found an issue in the replacement of the thermostat, he went beyond the scope of the job to get it done in a timely manner. He really knows his craft; very friendly and helpful; prompt and takes the time to explain what needs to be done. Tonight my furnace is working, and I am a happy camper. I highly recommend Alaniz HVAC Services, you won't be disappointed. Pricing was fair, clear and upfront-I really appreciate he didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need. read more

Marcelo was very responsive and provided quick and efficient service! He was able to diagnose the issue with the furnace very quickly and had the materials and expertise to have it up and running within the hour. Thank you again Marcelo! read more

Marcelo was great! I was messaging for service for a wall heater at around 6pm and he got back to me asap. We met the very next day in Daly City, he could've charged me more for what I thought was the problem but he insisted that it was ok and he just serviced the heater. He is honest and the consummate professional. If I have heating issues again he will be my first call! read more

Marcelo is extremely professional and thorough in his approach. He brings years of experience working for some of the biggest HVAC companies in the bay area and his expertise speaks for itself. Our AC unit wasn't turning on and he immediately was able to diagnose the problem. We had upgraded our thermostat not too long ago and it turns out I ordered one specific to a heat pump setup only as opposed to a traditional furnace with heating and AC. He also diagnosed a defective part in our unit which he replaced. Our AC unit is also extremely old so the air that was blowing wasn't as cold/frigid as it was years ago, so he brought a canister of refrigerant/frion and added it to our system. It is now blowing nice cold air. His honesty is what makes him one of the best HVAC professionals in the bay area. His pricing is also very competitive, especially if you want to stack it up against some of the big commercial companies out there, Alaniz is definitely a bargain. Highly recommend Alaniz for all your HVAC needs! read more

Marcelo is very responsive and can easily be reached via phone, text, or email. Our furnace stopped working and we have little kids at home that we needed to keep warm during the cold winter nights. We called around and had a bunch of different companies that scheduled us at least a week out. Marcelo responded within 10 minutes , was extremely flexible, and came the next day! He was knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the problem and showed us where the issues were. He replaced the parts without issue and was extremely reasonable with the price! He was quick and completed the repairs promptly. I highly recommend Marcelo, he made us feel very comfortable and is a honest businessman. read more

Came on time. Professional and courteous. Quite clear on the upfront and potential upfront cost. Cleans before and after the work. Explains the service before working on the fixing anything. Cannot ask for anything more than an honest hardworking guy! Wish him all the luck (not that he will need it) read more

I had a problem with the furnace: it was not heating well. I submitted a request to Alaniz through Yelp early morning on Thanksgiving day. Marcelo called within a few minutes and said he would come by in an hour. He inspected the system, found that a sensor needs replacement, replaced the sensor and the air filter within 30 minutes and that solved the problem. I'm impressed that he was willing to help me on a holiday, and did the job efficiently and with high quality. read more
