When my air conditioner suddenly stopped cooling, I immediately started looking for a reliable AC technician. A neighbor who had used Eric multiple times for installations and maintenance strongly recommended him, so I knew I was in good hands. I gave Eric a call, and he was kind enough to come over the exact same day. He thoroughly tested the unit's cooling performance and guided me through a few minor adjustments, like opening previously closed vents. Other than that, he confirmed the system itself was in good working order. Having dealt with technicians in the past who pushed unnecessary part and duct replacements, I was worried this would be a costly repair. Instead, Eric didn't even charge me for the diagnostic visit. I deeply appreciate his honesty, integrity, and outstanding work ethic. I highly recommend Eric for any of your HVAC needs! read more

Eric upgraded our 1960's furnace system with AC and new ducts. We had 4-5 other estimates but his was the cheapest. He was very kind, explained and reasoned his technical advice, and executed perfectly in the end. We've had him back several times over the following years to help out with other aspects of our home. Would recommend everyone give Cooler Living their business. read more

Eric replaced our A/C unit at the height of the pandemic and was great to work with. Four years later, it wasn't working well and I sent a quick email the evening of July 3 during another massive heat wave, assuming he'd get back to me after the holiday (and also assuming he was super busy). To my shock and delight, he responded early the morning of July 4 (ON THE HOLIDAY!), arrived a couple hours later, and then spent an hour identifying and fixing the problem, which was covered under warranty. Could not recommend Eric and his team any more highly. read more

I got 6 bids for our HVAC system and Eric really stood out because he was incredibly knowledgable about all the different HVAC options. He has been in the business for a long time and is honest and straight forward. He installed a heat pump and re-used our existing furnace (my request) in addition to putting in all the ductwork. It was a joy working with him. I'll update once we turn the system on but so far it's been a great experience and I would 100% recommend him to anyone interested in updating their HVAC and air conditioning system. read more

Eric and his team, Jose and Demitreo, were extremely professional, knowledgeable and added value at every turn. Besides replacing my 41 year old AC with a new Carrier hybrid that will maximize electricity generated via my solar panels, they enlarged the hallway vent, replaced and enlarged the attic ducts to maximize airflow and set me up on a cool NEST thermostat. They also relocated the new AC to a quieter part of the backyard and they put new screens on any outdoor vents to protect against any animals gaining entry under the hiuseThe team was super respectful, took really good care of the work area and were available to answer any questions and clarifications. On top of this, their bid came in lower than a competitor. I am very delighted with the results!! read more

I was looking to install AC and upgrade the furnace at my place. Effective, high-efficiency products installed properly at a reasonable price.

Eric installed our ductless systems in 2020 and they've been working very well for the past 5 years. This summer we noticed that one of the units wasn't cooling as well as it used to. I contacted Eric, who then showed up promptly, checked the system and fixed it, and things are back as they used to be. Thorough professional and a pleasure to do business with. read more

In 2014 I added about 1k sq. ft. on my home including a second story. The contractor the that did the work had his HVAC person install a dual zone (upstairs/downstairs) system that never never functioned correctly. It would run for 10 minutes and then shut down. Eric came in and identified the issue. The system that was installed was actually was not correct for my configuration. Eric pulled the furnace, outdoor condenser & ductwork and put in a right sized system and we have been warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As a real estate professional, my reputation relies on people like Eric to do it correctly for a reasonable price. read more

9 years later and Eric's service and professionalism is still amazing! It's been cold (did you see snow on Fremont mission peak) and much to the dismay of my family, the heater stopped working. I could hear the thermostat click on but the heater wouldn't turn on. He diagnosed that the wires got chewed up by some squirrel or mouse in the unit outside which shorted the fuse in the heater in the attic. He changed the fuse, safely covered up the wires outside to prevent this from occurring in the future. Heater working again. Thanks Cooler Living Systems! read more

Just had a new furnace & air conditioner installed. I couldn't have been more pleased with the service I received From Eric Moran (owner). This was my 1st time adding air conditioning to my home. I was given a fair price for both items so no need to quote it out. They left everything as clean as it was before. Eric had put in All new ducting years ago , so knew I would use him again when the time came to replace my 26 year old furnace. I've already recommended his company to a few friends. Thanks again Eric! read more

Eric and the Cooler Living Systems crew are phenomenal. Eric responded quickly and was able to make an install of our mini split happen quickly, affordably and of high quality. Excellent attention to detail and customer service. Highly recommend. read more

Eric has done a lot of great work for us over the years on multiple systems. Always friendly, quick, professional, reliable and flexible. No job is too big or too small. He even fixed a few electrical problems for us that are not at all related to HVAC. No wonder he has a 5 star average on Yelp. Our first project with him started out as duct replacement and furnace relocation. He explained to us well what the options are and gave guidance on how to improve the system. We ended up adding a heat pump and on a day like today with 37'C outside I'm glad I did. read more

it is kind of late review....but important one....Cooler living installed our AC and heating system in 2018.....I am reviewing it after 2.5yrs.....the system works like a charm....the service was great with very professional team.... we got the installation in winter.....cooler living accommodated us during a busy schedule.... completed the job in time....also got us through city inspectors review.... Over all we were very happy with cooler systems Team....Strongly recommend it.... read more

Recently I had the pleasure to get to know Eric with Cooler Living Systems recommended by an electrician who weren't able to solve the mystery why my heaters weren't working. Eric quickly diagnosed the problem. He came on time, worked very efficiently and fix the problem very quickly. He his very respectful and trustworthy, as I had to leave for an appointment before he was done, he locked my house as instructed. Eric even took off his shoes and left the place spotless as it was before. Highly recommend him. read more

2021 Update: Eric continues to be a total rock star. Over the last few years I've placed a number of service calls with him and he's always been able to accommodate the request and make adjustments that we asked for. At this point, I would be hesitant to even ask anyone else for help - he knows the system he installed in and out and can quickly troubleshoot issues. So if you are wondering if you'll get help down the road once the system is installed, the answer is a resounding "yes!". read more

How often does this happen in the bay area? You need a service person urgently and thy come right away and charge you NOTHING, just do the work just as a goodwill building gesture?? I will hire always Erik and his guy Jose for all future HVAC works. It was 105 degrees outside in Fremont earlier today and our A/C stopped working. Erik's team was working at a house a few miles away and I approached them to take a look at my situation. Erik instantly dispatched Jose to my house, and he found the problem with the fuse. Not only that Jose even found the real reason why it had tripped and fixed the filters. This team will do well. They are honest, hardworking and most importantly they care about building along term business. read more

Two years ago, Eric replaced my 18-years old Air Conditioning Condenser by a new one made by Carrier. At that time, everything was accurately written in the Invoice and on the next day everything was done according to the Invoice without any surprises. He worked very quick and accurate. The more important is that he keeps his word, i.e. not always service people stay responsible for their warranty policy. However, Eric indeed very responsible person. This is what happened to me: Recently my Air Condition stopped making cold air. I called Eric and the next day he stopped here. The first suspicion fell on the compressor, so Eric said that since everything is under warranty he will order this part from manufacturer and as soon it arrives he would come and replace it. In a week, he came with a new compressor, but before replacing it, he discovered that the compressor's plug was not tight enough and this was the reason for not working compressor. Indeed, it was very difficult to suspect this problem in relatively recently installed unit. It was a happy end for everybody. So, my point is: Eric is not only provides excellent and honest service, but you also can rely on his warranty policy. read more

Eric was great on time and very helpful with me walking me through the set up of my HAVC and the controls. When I had a problem Eric showed up quickly and fixed it!!! read more

At one point, we had a few bumps. Our job was not a new installation but a reconfiguring of an existing HVAC setup. Some of the delay was due to the electrician's errors. The electrician was replaced, and the wiring was corrected by the new electrician. As soon as Eric was apprised of the corrected wiring, he immediately took action and completed the job. We are very satisfied with the work performed. I would highly recommend Cooler Living Systems for your HVAC needs. read more

It's been over six years since Eric and his team installed my three HVAC systems (which required a lot of custom work - A Minisplit system and 2 forced air Heating/AC) and they have been excellent! Had two minor issues last week on the hot days and he was out here within a day and fixed both small things which were issues under warranty and not their work. Eric and his company are reliable, responsive, honest, and does the best HVAC work I've ever seen. His quality, pricing, service, response time, and maintenance are outstanding! Feel free to PM with any more questions. Seriously, look no further contact Cooler Living Systems today! It's nice to be able to rely on a company after the work is done! Cooler Living Systems is here for the long haul. Thanks CLS! read more

Eric and his team installed a Fujitsu mini split unit in my house. We had a wall furnace which was 25 years old and I wanted a highly efficient replacement. I got a quote from 10 different HVAC companies and chose Cooler Living Systems based on attitude, knowledge and of course price. The team arrived on time and the work was completed in a very clean manner. All my questions and concerns were answered. They had to cut dry wall to run condensate drain line and the patch was done immediately and cleanly. The inspection also went smoothly and the inspector looked happy with the quality of work done. read more

Eric and his crew were terrific. Their quote was reasonable, but Eric insisted on doing the job the best possible way. In the end he supplied top notch equipment, better solutions to or specific issues, and did a better job for less or equivalent pricing to any of out four competitive quotes. We had two Furnace/AC systems to replace. To take full advantage of available rebates they did all the paperwork, applied for permits, set up all the testing and inspections, as well as the forms and paperwork required to qualify. His crew is considerate, competent, clean and respectful. We are very satisfied with their work and highly recommend them. read more

We had a great experience with Cooler Living. Eric offered a very competitive price to install a new heater, AC, and new duct work. He is very knowledgeable about the hvac, and gave us realistic expectations about the energy rebate program. He is also very responsive via text and call. Before, our 4 bedroom house was freezing even when we turned on the heater. Now it is very warm and comfortable. We are a lot more happy with our home. His team was also very easy to work with and went above and beyond our expectations. read more

Eric came with very good recommendation. I just got my entire HVAC along with ducts replaced by cooler living systems in San jose. The whole process was seamless. Eric is a very cool guy. There are no hidden charges or any agenda to squeeze extras from you. He is very straightforward and trustworthy person.I will recommend him to my friends and relatives any day. I am an engineer by profession.The work done was very detailed and high quality. HVAC Equipment used was also high quality and chosen by Eric to get the maximum efficiency and comfort. The team is very flexible in entertaining any reasonable requests.Eric even volunteered to put the attic fan cover that i bought from Amazon. If you are looking for HVAC rebates, Eric is the guy since he has detailed knowledge on the whole rebate system and what equipment to use to get the rebate. As far as pricing is concerned, cooler living systems is very competitive and inline with the market prices. With many of the other HVAC companies, i had to talk to a salesman. I hate talking to salesmen. With cooler living systems, there are no salesmen involved. Eric is the owner and he comes to give the quote. read more

Eric is a true pro! He came out to check our AC system on short notice so that was nice to begin with. After he gave my mom a quote on the work that needed to be done, I called up a few other places asking how much the same type of work would cost if I used them (we needed a new AC condenser and puron). Eric came out a lot cheaper than the other places and he seemed like a genuine guy so I decided to give him a shot. I'm glad I did because he was able to come out the next day (with the specific condenser unit by Carrier that we wanted!) and get the install done within about 6 hours. Now my AC is working again, more powerful than before, quieter than before, and I paid a reasonable price for the work that was done. Oh and while he was working on the repair, I ran out to buy a new Nest thermostat which he also installed for a small fee (he even painted around the new thermostat to make things look nice). Helped me set up the Nest and now I'm lovin' my whole AC system! I'm kinda glad my old condenser gave out ;-) Overall Eric is a great guy and my go to guy for any future Air Conditioning work. He knows how to take care of customers and does professional work and gives a 2 year warranty on his labor. Thanks again Eric! read more

Over the past few years, I've messaged or called Eric numerous times. He's always been responsive and helpful. He's made visits for free to adjust duct flow (when one room was too hot compared to others) and also offered to install an AC compressor blanket at no cost (to help keep noise levels low). I very much appreciate his quality of communication and high level of customer service, something that's not easy to find nowadays! read more

Eric and his Cooler Living Systems team (Jose and Sal) did a GREAT job for us installing a new furnace, new AC unit, new attic ducts, and resealed and insulated garage level ducts. Eric also selected and installed new exhaust fans for our bathrooms. We love it all. We very much appreciate the quality work, great attitude, timely performance, and all for a reasonable price. We nightly recommend Cooler Living Systems. read more

Eric and his team are top notch. I hired Cooler Living to install new ducts and a new Carrier air conditioning unit at my home. From start to finish, Eric was honest, efficient, and his prices are reasonable. Eric thoughtfully recommended three zones in my house which has made all the difference in terms of both comfort and efficiency. They also installed three Nest thermostats which are terrific. Everything was handled start to finish by Cooler Living (including obtaining local permit, duct leakage test, etc.) Highly recommended!! read more

I have used Eric and his crew Jose\Sal at Cooler Living Systems for both my condo and my new house and I can say without hesitation that I am completely happy with everything. I use my HVAC a lot, pretty much anytime I am home either the AC or Heater is on. So needless to say when my AC went out at my condo I was quite miserable. I called upwards of 20 different places and all told me the same thing. Since a condo has a "pancake unit" (which is what went out) they wont work on it. That was until I messaged Eric. He came out that evening after hours to take a look at that unit. He gave me a fair quote the next day and expedited timeline as he seemed to genuinely understand that this was majorly impacting my quality of life as well as an unexpected expense. The system is still going strong years later and has become a selling point now that I am renting out that condo. I have since moved into a house that had a dying system. I immediately called Eric. He came out explained my options and gave me quotes the next day. I got a second quote for due diligence but as I suspected Eric was the best quote. His quote had better components and it came in less expensive. The guy does NOT cut corners he only uses quality parts built to last and takes his time to do the job right. We did have 1 issue where there was some water leakage due to a hose not being fully attached but Eric came out and without ANY argument said yep that's his fault. He paid for the bill I had for drying things out and then paid for the rest of the restoration. The man does quality work but on the rare occasion he does make a mistake he owns up to it and takes responsibility to fix it even though it took a sizable chunk of his profit. That to me shows integrity which is rare in many contractors these days. Now months down the line the system is still going strong and making life so much more comfortable. He even took care of all the logistics to get an energy rebate check from the state. read more

I heard about Cooler Living Systems through a colleague at work who had nothing but high praise. After getting a few estimates last year for adding AC to our existing central heating system, we chose them to do the work because the quote was reasonable and Eric was very knowledgeable and personable . He answered all of our questions and was very honest about the size of AC unit we needed. I felt like the 2 other reputable companies I spoke with were trying to upsell and upsize wherever possible. Eric was on time, hard working and professional. He completed the job in the exact amount of time he said he would and all of the work he did looks great. This is our second summer since having it installed and we could not be happier. We frequently get comments from people about how well our AC works. So glad we took Eric's advice. I've suggested him to friends and neighbors. read more

Eric - Awesome guy ! Very committed and stick to his deadlines.. I highly recommend him for any HVAC needs . I hardly yelp ..but Eric's perfection forced me to come online and yelp for him. read more

Cooler living was recommended to me by a friend in Santa Clara. She had very positive words to say about the installation of multiple Daikan split units, so we decided to give them a call. We were not disappointed. Eric the owner came out and checked our house and made recommendations on size of units and placement. He sent a very detailed,professional quote spelling out what they were going to provide and the costs. They also had a list of references. How great is it when a company sends you references before you even ask. The work was done well the unit sizes are perfect. Eric even came out and fixed an older unit he didn't install. I highly recommend Cooler Living. read more

Eric was very Professional. His work was extremely clean. I am a stickler for detail and his job came out very nice. His knowledge and communication was top very good. My family business is in construction (contractors) and I would have them use him for future jobs because he was super meticulous. He installed a new AC unit (none previous) and a new high efficiency furnace. He did the whole install and the electrical work. It is been 5 months and it is working flawlessly. As far as cost goes, the price was more than fair! read more

Eric (the owner of the Cooler Living System) was recommended to me by my real estate agent, who speaks highly of Eric based on her past experience. We moved to a new house, and the project is to overhaul the entire old HVAC system, which is noisy and inefficient. Despite the short notice, Eric came in for a free consultation/estimation, and explained to me in great details of the options I could have. Eric's quote is very competitive with no hidden fees. Eric and his folks are pleasant, polite, and professional. What I appreciate the most is that Eric is really attentive to our concerns, and are willing to modify our plans several times along the process. His team also took care of patching, painting, and paving the wall/ceiling/backyard after removing the old system and vent. He also works closely with the testing company for the government rebate program. I highly recommend Eric and his Cooler Living Systems -- I know I will not look further if I ever encounter AC issues for my properties in the future. read more

Eric was great! We had an air conditioner issue over the holiday weekend while visiting my parents in CA and he provided same day service and was excellent! Highly recommended!!! read more

Eric's professionalism and expert knowledge as well as patience and attention to details brings me to my first positive Yelp recommendation. Highly recommend for his workmanship and reasonable bid, as well as genuine helpfulness. Job to install a multi-split (ductless) heat pump system was rather difficult with no accessible attic space and the extra effort required to run wiring, linesets, and condensate drain lines for multiple indoor units (evaporators). He and his helper got the system up and running very professionally, following through with the handyman type details I requested and were very pleasant to deal with. Eric remarked the job made him a better installer... mainly because of the difficult Eichler-like building setup and I think partly also from satisfying a detailed-oriented customer. read more

It is pleasure to write a recommendation for Cooler Living Systems and Mr. Eric Moran, in particular. Eric did an outstanding job putting a second heating system in my large Palo Alto home. From the very start, Eric paid attention to exactly what I wanted done. He took very detailed and thorough notes on his first visit and delivered a very competitive bid. I was also impressed by his knowledge of the product and how he planned to implement the project. Unlike other companies, where a salesman prepares the bid and some other person actually does the installation, Eric is the salesman and the job foreman. This eliminates possible installation missteps because the homeowner can deal directly with the person in charge of the project. Good communication was quite important for this project because new ducting had to be designed to accommodate a very old section of my home. There were many issues requiring installation re-design and compromises. Eric took several unforeseen problems in stride with a positive attitude, even on the most challenging issues. The final job not only runs efficiently and quietly, it even looks good to the untrained eye. The city inspector even made good comments about quality of the final installation. read more

Eric designed and installed an air conditioner for us a couple of weeks ago. Our new AC came in very handy last week, when temperatures soared into the 90s. Eric was a joy to work with. Our installation was complicated, and Eric was very creative in coming up with a solution that works well and was very cost efficient. We had quotes from 2 other installers, and Eric's was easily the most competitive. I highly recommend Eric. read more

Eric was recommended by a neighbor. He installed a new furnace and AC in our home. Eric is fair, responsive. He clearly takes pride in his work and we have been satisfied with the results. Eric listened to our needs and was easy to work with from start to finish. read more
