After meeting in person with numerous HVAC companies, my wife and I decided to move forward with Calvey Heating and Air. Michael Calvey thoroughly explained all of the options for our house's specific HVAC needs and was very patient with me as I asked a variety of questions. In fact, he made numerous trips to our house to answer the constant flow of questions my wife and I had. Bottom line, we built a solid working relationship with Michael and this gave us the comfort we needed to move forward with our HVAC investment. Calvey Heating and Air's estimate for a new heat pump and furnace at our house was very competitive. I was amazed at how much the pricing varied from vendor to vendor. Michael and the Calvey team made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Michael recommended an electrician who did a great job with our electric panel upgrade and the permit team did a fantastic job working with the city for all of the required paperwork. When it came time for the installation, the lead installer, Servando, and his team took pride in their work for the two day install. Similar to Michael, they were patient with me and answered all my questions during the install. Following the install, the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Team promptly arrived and conducted the necessary testing. Lastly, the permit team met with the city building inspector to successfully get the city sign off on all of the work. Throughout the entire process, Calvey Heating and Air did a great job choreographing and managing all aspects of the installation. I was constantly kept informed and Michael and his team visited our house daily during the installation to ensure all was moving forward properly. Lastly, a final walk-through was conducted by Johnny from Calvey ensuring that the install was 100% perfect. Once my wife and I have had time to work with and get familiar with our new system, Michael indicated he will have his team come by our house and balance out our vents if needed and answer any additional questions we may have. Overall, my wife and I cannot be happier with our decision to have Calvey Heating and Air install our new system. Their service was great from start to finish and there were no hiccups. We highly recommend them. Thank you Michael Calvey! read more

I am a repeat customer. They had been taking excellent care of my 28+ year old Carrier Furnace. But, I wanted to explore replacing for more efficiency. Michael came out to my house and walked me through the pros and cons of a heat pump HVAC. For my home, the extra money made no sense. I really do not need central AC. We then talked about a new Carrier, high-efficency furnace. That was exactly what I needed. I also opted for the Ecobee Smart, wi-fi enabled thermostat. I am extremely happy with everything. The price was right. The installation was flawless. The post-intall QA walkghrough, by Johnny, went really well. ThenI worked with the folks that checked all the boxes post-intalleation. HERS test was easy with a pass.. Today, we passed the inspection, in under 5 minute. Every person I dealt with was amiable and professiona. The office staff always very nice. Michael Calvey was a joy to talk to. Thank you to Johnny, the project manager, and the folks from HOPSTER that facilitated the post-installation test and inspectioin. From start to finish I met with Michael on February 12th. The 16th the new furnace was intalled. February 17th Johnny did the QA walkthrough. February 18th HOPSTER did their pre-test and inspection walkthrough. The HERS test was done February 23rd. March 5th the city inspection was complete. I will continue to use Calvey for annual maintenance read more

Seems redundant but we had an excellent experience with Calvey I should say we ALWAYS have an excellent experience. Yes we are repeat customers. That is itself is a compliment.... The people they send out are always well trained, courteous and explain what is needed in a patient and understandable manner. I want to give a particular shout out to our service man Jared...If you can get him for your appt you are VERY Lucky. read more

We've used Calvey Heating & Air for multiple jobs - dryer duct cleaning, furnace maintenance, and furnace repair. Each time they've done an excellent and professional job. Communication is fantastic and their pricing is very competitive. They are my go-to HVAC company. read more

Arturo and Carlos did a great job with our A/C install. Highly recommend them. They asked us how we wanted everything laid out and didn't jump to any conclusions. They explained everything to us before work started, and we very much appreciated it. read more

I've been calling but no answers for the last 2 days. Bad experience overall. Tech came in, opened the vent but couldn't figure out that the water marks are a likely cause and spent an hour taping the unit to get their money's worth. We literally told him that we need to install a condensate pump to reroute the leaky pipe. We brought down our walls and we are back to square one where we need a condensate pump. read more

I requested a dryer vent cleaning service and was asked to provide my phone number before scheduling. After sharing it, I was told, "Someone from our team will be in touch with you soon." Since this was during a workday, I asked when I could expect the call so I could plan accordingly. Unfortunately, I received the exact same response each time I asked--three times in total--without any additional clarity. For a company with so many positive reviews, I expected more professionalism and better communication. Providing even a rough timeframe would have made a big difference. read more

After getting a hard sales pitch from another HVAC company, Calvey gave me 3 cheaper options (replace refrigerant, replace only coils, replace coils + compressor.) They didn't pressure me at all as to which option to choose and simply laid out the pros and cons. Had them replace coils + compressor for a fraction of the cost that the first HVAC company tried to sell me. They were super professional and other than one small scheduling mistake caused by me calling them on a weekend, they were absolutely amazing both in person and with communications and follow up. Their estimate is more like a bid and once they tell you the price, that's the price. I accidentally double paid my deposit and they were quick to catch the error and refund the money before I even noticed. I paid to have them pull permits for me and pass inspection and there was a Calvey employee pre-checking everything and present during the inspection. I can't recommend them enough! Honest, nice, pleasant, communicative... read more

It's a comfort having a maintenance company you can count on. I'm first greeted by Viviana who schedules service with a smile. Our technician, Joe Perez, was wonderful to have at our home while he provided the necessary maintenance on our HVAC system. He was polite, and professional, and obviously cared about us. He is a fine ambassador to Calvey. I always expect a job to get done, but it's how we're treated as customers that is most memorable. Congrats to Calvey for finding great employees. read more

UPDATE So after my negative review was posted, Calvey reached out. They were extremely apologetic, and Joe himself became very involved in trying to fix my situation. Apparently, they had a problem with their office staff a year ago, and while those people were let go, Joe had no idea of the depth of the issue. Joe immediately dispatched a tech, and they went to work on fixing the problem at no cost to me. Ultimately, it was a difficult intermittent issue, and Calvey agreed to simply replace the furnace at a significant discount. This was a fully satisfactory outcome for me, and I praise Joe and his team for bending over backwards to fix the issue. So yes, Calvey does stand behind their work. My only advice is to insist on talking to Joe if a significant issue arises, even if the office staff insists that's not possible. read more

Calvey Heating & Air provided me with excellent service. Their technician Mike managed to repair the water leaking of my AC ceiling cassette within an hour. I'm very thankful for their service! read more

Calvey is a really top notch company. Kenny spent a long time with some deep digging to figure out why my AC wasn't blowing as hard as it used to. He finally figured it out and fixed it but it wasn't obvious and took some care to accomplish it. I couldn't be more pleased or impressed. read more

Update: in response to this review, Mike Calvey reached out to me and tried to make it right. Calvey is a company in which industry best practices are sometimes not followed. In 2021, Calvey installed a 4-ton, single stage Bryant suitcase unit on my property. This unit has seen less than 20 hr, likely less than 10 hr of runtime in these 3 years. It has evidence of an electrical fire due to completely loose - not even snugged connections on the contactor which should have been torqued to 35 in-lbs. In my case, this led to the failure of the contactor, which lit on fire and shorted out the 24v control coil, which killed my Nest thermostat before blowing the fuse in my furnace. This would very likely have been prevented if Calvey had followed industry best practices, which are to use a clamp meter to measure LRA and FLA to ensure they match the LRA/FLA rating. Taking this measurement immediately after installation helps prevent this kind of failure. Calvey also installed a Bryant Condensing furnace on my property a few years before installing the air conditioner. The condensate pump was not wired with the safety shut off, meaning when the pump (which has a 5-10 year expected service life) inevitably fails, it will likely cause a flood in my mechanical room. Calvey not only failed to install the necessary wiring for the safe operation of the condensing furnace, they also failed to correct this error when installing an air conditioner several years later. Further, some Calvey techs informed me they use 5% silver phos-copper brazing filler. Industry best practices are to use 15% silver phos-copper brazing filler because it has better flow characteristics, and lower odds of cracking with vibration/thermal expansion. 5% brazing filler is also often associated with the practice of "crowning" a joint, wherein rather than flowing braze into the joint, a crown is applied around the joint with very minimal penetration. I have not experienced a failure due to this, it is still a poor practice. Calvey did not follow industry best practices in the installation of my HVAC system. The electrical fire and subsequent damage to the entire 24v electrical system of my home, as well as the sub-optimal brazing alloy and improper condensate pump installation, I cannot in good conscience recommend this company for your next HVAC project. read more

Called to make an appt as our furnace was running but heat was not coming through. VICKI was so amazing and walked us through trying to find the problem. I thought perhaps it was the burner but after Vicki's help it was just a matter of turning it off waiting a bit and turning it back on. I was pretty sure nothing big was wrong and I was right. Vicki was so polite and so helpful. We have put you on our to call contact list if ever need repairs we will surely call Calvey. read more

Carlos and Arturo provided expert-level craftsmanship and professional installation of an air conditioning system in our home this week. I highly recommend them, and cannot be happier with the journey and result! They did a 3.5 day installation project of Mitsubishi systems (multizone heat pump,ceiling units, wall units, running lines (copper, drainage, electrical)! Thank you so much for the extremely crisp communication as well I would highly recommend Carlos, Arturo and the entire team of Calvey Heating & Air! read more

The estimate at a reasonable price. Installation completed in one day. The job passed inspection by the "HERS" company and by the City inspector. Pleasant employees. Recommended. 5 STARS. read more

Right during the holidays, our clothes dryer suddenly stopped working. I called Calvey, a company that had done excellent service for us 5 years ago. They were responsive and scheduled Joe P. to come by. Joe P. went right to work, identifying that the problem was a major lint buildup in the dryer vent hose or duct between the dryer at the dryer vent. In no time, he solved the problem, gave us some helpful guidance about keeping the vent hose open, and was on his way. He was so very helpful, clear in keeping us informed, and thoughtful in providing guidance for us to help prevent future problems. Calvey will remain our company for heating and air service, and if he is available, we will ask for Joe P. Calvey is a superb company for exceptional service and value. read more

Calvey is the best in the Bay Area. Starting with their office staff to the techs. They have fast response. They took care of the sock smell that was coming from my AC. Sent someone to my house the same day I called. I definitely recommend for satisfaction. read more

Scheduled to come out to clean Air Ducts and service tech shows up and states they don't do Townhouse and their tools would get stuck in my Air Ducts. Not good service, Wasted a whole day we set aside to do the AD cleaning. Appointment setter was notified about our place being a 2 story Townhouse. Taking them off my list for any HVAC service. read more

Just had an amazing service visit with Jared Coronado. He is incredibly knowledgeable regarding HVAC systems. He throughly reviewed our system and gave a very detailed explanation of its condition. He then gave us a full range of options and answered any questions we had regarding the options. There was no hard sell, just a concerned effort to provide us with the best service. It is hard to find reliable and trustworthy technicians in today's market and Jared instilled a high degree of confidence and trust. read more

Very respectful service technicians. They knew I didn't want shoes in the house so they rolled out a tarp for their big vacuum that cleans air ducts. Will definitely work with them in the future read more

I called for an appointment during the week between 8 and 5. Calvey said someone can come out at end of day, but it would be overtime at $275 an hr, instead of $175 an hr. I never heard of this before? I can understand paying overtime for maybe weekend or late at night, but why overtime during the day on a weekday? Calvey said the reason is that the technician would have already put in an 8 hr day. Be aware of these unethical practices by Calvey! read more

Thank you to Joe for educating me on the condition of my air ducts and recommendations! Great work!!! I will definitely call Calvey again for my HVAC needs. read more

My AC system gave out during the summer and I needed it fixed asap. The installation has some complications since the indoor system is a pancake style system (a bit uncommon) and the condenser is deep inside the roof. I was put in contact with Michael and he explained what's needed before starting. I got the HOA approval and within half a week, a whole team arrived and replaced the AC in two days! No sweat after (pun intended) :) Pricing was also competitive. They were also the lowest out of a number of HVAC companies. The whole team at Calvey Heating & Air was superb and super communicative throughout the entire process! Especially the crew onsite: Carlos, Arturo, Juanito and Armando. Highly recommend Calvey and team for your HVAC needs! read more

Straightforward scheduling. Quick response. Kenny Jasso was pleasant, knowledgeable and serviced our Furnace in no time. We are all ready for the winter now. read more

I've used Calvey Heating & Air for many years on a variety of projects, including AC installation, a mini AC unit for a detached room, routine maintenance checks, and furnace repair. Most recently, they saved me from what I thought was going to be a full furnace replacement. I've dealt with Joe, Michael, and a number of the technicians on their team. They have all been communicative, approachable, and easy to talk to. More importantly, they are knowledgeable and honest, and they have always had my best interest in mind. I have no doubt I will be working with them again in the future! read more

Found Calvey to be very responsive and helpful. The install was very professional, timely, and looks good. I thought their pricing was fair and transparent. There were two minor issues with the install however (bad fuse, undercharged). They fixed them both pretty quick without a question, but I couldn't do 5 stars. I would, however, recommend them. read more

Excellent experience across the board: scheduling, confirmation, and on time arrival. Kenny, the technician, was terrific. He was polite, professional, explained things as he went through the diagnostic and repair, and best of all got things working again. Very reasonable pricing. I would recommend Calvey Heating and Air without reservation. read more

Michael Calvey and his whole team made the service routine. Their technicians: Carlos, Arturo, and Adolfo did a fantastic job! They were professional, efficient, and very thorough with their work. Everything was completed on time, and they made sure I understood the process from start to finish. I really appreciate their attention to detail and friendly service--highly recommend Calvey Heating & Air! read more

Calvey repaired my furnace on New Year's Eve. Jared was on time, kept me updated throughout the repair process, and fixed the unit in an hour. I would characterize it as a textbook excellent customer experience. read more

Calvey is absolutely the best HVAC company in the Bay Area. I've used them for a new two zone heating/ac system and a split zone system, as well as duct repair/replacement and they always do an awesome job. We can back from vacation yesterday to find our bedroom heating system not working and the bedroom temperature 58 degrees. Calvey managed to get a supervisor to stop by this afternoon and the system was fixed. You can't go wrong with Calvey! read more

My daughter's 25 year old central heater was failing, so called Calvey.. Jared came out the next day to diagnose. He spent a good hour to determine that the gas valve wasn't working consistently - and charged only $175, which seemed very reasonable to me. He was professional, good at listening to and explaining things, personable - and recommended either trying to fix it, or because of the age of heater and a/c getting an estimate to replace. Michael Calvey came out the following day to give an estimate to replace either just the heater, or heater and a/c. He was knowledgable, friendly, efficient. We decided to go ahead and replace both systems because of their age, so a team of three came out the following week to do the installation. Once again they were very knowledgable, efficient, hard-working - had both systems replaced and connected back into the existing electronic dampers, thermostats, gas line, etc. within 6 hours. Perhaps most striking to me (beyond their competence) was how nice all three were - they seemed to enjoy their work, enjoy working with each other, engaging in conversation with me - the kind of guys you'd want to have a beer with. So, I would highly recommend Calvey for HVAC maintenance, repairs and installations - and will definitely use them again if I need HVAC work. read more

Heat pump and furnace install went incredibly well. Installation team of Arturo, Carlos, Elmer, Sergio and Serbando were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and polite. Kept me in the loop and/or ran any key decisions by me. In addition to the install, Michael did a great job sorting out the quote, the team/plan/timing and integrating the permit application team, who were also very good despite the usual permit paperwork and processing requirements. Was excellent to have them there to handle all the dealings with the City. Overall would use Calvey heating and Air again and strongly recommend them for others. Pete read more

These guys have done several complete HVAC system installations for me now and have come through every time. Exceptional work, very professional, timely and friendly. Johnny, Richard, Juan and Julio..thank you again! read more

Julio and Richard were so hard working and professional. Grateful for the split system.

A++ Replace failed furnace in100 y.o. house. Calvey LISTENED !!!! to my concerns & needs, made good recommendations. Very happy w/ very high efficiency gas furnace (didn't want to replace gas hot water heater and new range w/ electric). They recommended a better duct layout. W/ pretty good insulation, I'm so comfortable & no need to continually boost the thermostat. Great crew, worked hard, the new heat registers and duct work are neat and cleanly done (I checked it out) and in good locations for heat conduction and furniture placement. The last 12 y.o. "efficient" furnace was, I'm afraid, a rip-off, wrong size, layout, workmanship. It burned out despite constant $$$ tuneups. It was a waste. THIS one is done right. Thank you, Calvey, I'm warm and happy! (PS: I opted out of AC, here in No. Berkeley hills a few fans and good shades do the job.) read more

About a year and a half ago I left a 5-star review for the great experience I had with Calvey Heating and Air. Now I am leaving a follow-up 5-star review for yet another extremely positive interaction I had with them and specifically Arturo and Carlos. During the summer, the sun and the heat started to deform the plastic cover that ran over my heat pump's refrigerant lines. I got in touch with Michael and he was extremely responsive in acknowledging the problem and scheduling a repair. Arturo and Carlos showed up on time and were able to resolve the issue quickly and with a smile! I am very happy about their work. read more

Calvey Heating & Air provided me with excellent service. Their office staff was easy and flexible working with me to make an appointment for a heating and AC duct inspection. Joe the tech was on time for my appointment and after listening to my concerns and explaining the procedure I could tell he was very knowledgable and experienced with the inspection process. He was fully equipped to do a duct inspection and was very respectful of our property. After the inspection Joe took the time to review the results and provided recommendations. Really appreciate the excellent work Joe did and the great experience working with the Calvey team. Thank you! read more

Excellent service and great knowledgeable staff. Johnny is very patient and helpful with me.
