I too have wonderful things to say about Anson and his business. We needed to get our heating ducts replaced. It was recommended to get 3 estimates done. We got 5. Some of the companies were twice as expensive, some others didn't even crawl under to look at the situation at hand, and several wouldn't work with metal ducts, which is what we preferred. Anson did a very thorough inspection of a very uncomfortable area to work in. He gave us a time estimate, stuck to it, cleaned the job site really well when done. The whole team was pleasant to have around and very good about keeping the inside of the house clean. We now have a warm home again, no smells (ducts were destroyed by some animals urinating (and more!) in our ducts, and the system is quiet. We are so glad we found Olympic Heating and Air!! Check out how shallow the workspace was!! Very difficult job!!! read more

Mr. Wong is reliable, affordable, and has flexible hours. He's serviced my floor furnace 3-4 times now and the outcome is always quick and gets me through the winter. With his help and knowledge I'll be able to keep this old furnace going for quite a bit longer! read more

The air conditioning was not cranking out a lot of cold air fast enough or strong enough to cool down my house fast during these last extremely hot days. So I called Anson and he suggested it could be the old wiring from my thermostat to the HVAC unit on top of my house. He came out and ran a new wire with more connections than the old ones I had. He also showed me that the wires that were installed about 20 years ago ( I think that's how old my other HVAC unit was) were the five wires and were patched up and twisted together at certain junctions and were going bad. I am glad he replaced the wires and now it's working great and making the house feel wonderful! Thank you Anson! I appreciate you! Again, I would highly recommend you to all of my family and friends! read more

While getting another project done, it was discovered that our heating duct had come detached from our furnace. We have no idea how long this has been an issue ... the entire 8 years we've been living here?! Anyway, I went to Yelp to find an HVAC solution and sent inquiries to a number of companies. None of them were helpful. Anson came as a recommendation from a neighbor on Nextdoor. I sent and email and he responded the next day. Was able to send over a few photos of the job and the next day he had us all patched up without any issues. He was professional and helpful and did a solid job. Also - we haven't changed our air filter in 8 years so that was embarrassing. He helped us get the old one out and showed us what replacement to buy! I'm excited that my heater will be much more effective at heating the house this year and not just that 1 room .... read more

If you are in need of a honest, experienced, and knowledgeable heating and air repair look no further. I have used Anson for the last two years to keep my what can best be described as keeping an antique heater running. Despite its age, every time he fixed the wall heater so that I could have heat he never pressured me to buy a new heater, and explained what was going on with my heater. As a senior, who needed to keep warm this freezing cold winter in particular, I was happy he stopped by during a busy schedule to keep my heater pumping out the heat. But when it finally was evident that this heater was not worth fixing due to the cost of parts and what would result in him coming out every few days to kept operating I was given a choice by him. I could purchase a costly part, or he could recommend and install a new and obviously more efficient heater replace it. After years of headaches with the ancient heater, I felt it best to get a new heater. In addition he even sealed up the holes in the wall behind the heater, where outside air would have leaked into my place ! No shoddy workmanship here ! Olympic Heating and Air is truly the best. I am totally happy and highly recommend them. read more

I heard about Mr. Wong and Olympic Heating via my neighborhood list serve. He was as great as everyone said. He was very knowledgable, skilled, extremely pleasant to work with and replied very quickly to any of my texts. He got my new heater installed very fast and for a great price. I highly recommend him for all HVAC work. read more

I called because the heater was making a squeaking noise. A friendly technician came out and took a look. He recommended we have a new heater installed, due to the old age of our current unit. He did not fix the squeaking noise and did not charge us, which is fair So next we called a local independent handyman to take a look. He told us the same as Olympic, that our heater was old and needed replaced. But he was also able to fix the squeaking in a few minutes, with no replacement parts (it was hair and dirt that was causing the noise). It's been about a month and is still silent. Olympic may be the right choice for major repairs and installations, but they don't seem to be the place to go for minor issues - as their big picture thinking may gloss over a simple fix in favor of a more expensive overhaul. read more

My heater stopped working. Like that, one day, it no longer heats up. I text Anson and am wondering when he can pass. I know him because he has already come to branch my Nest device. It asks me for the symptoms: the driver works. He guides me to check if my thermostat is the problem: no, it's not him. I send him pictures of my wall heater. He informs me of the different causes and guides me to verify each of the origins. And finally, a protection switch had worked, cutting off the heating. What is extraordinary is that Anson piloted me by text message, in an extremely precise way, with supporting photos. Thanks to that, he was able to restart my heating remotely in record time. He is the best heating engineer ever. Frankly, don't look elsewhere. His skills, his patience, and his expertise are out of the ordinary. Why it's not possible to give a 6 stars review? read more

We hired Olympic Heating to replace our furnace and AC after we bought a house in San Rafael. Anson was very responsive and answered our questions throughout the process. He helped us also Source a whole house air filter system because my wife is very sensitive to dust pollen and bad air. Anson installed and IQAir whole house air filter system. Olympic is reasonably priced and operates with high integrity. Very friendly service, we have very highly recommend them. read more

Add Olympic to your list of bids. My Furnace stopped working. And it was COLD. I reached out to a few HVAC companies, and Anson at Olympic was the first to respond. He tried to troubleshoot it via Text: "Try X, Y, and Z first. If that doesn't get it going, let me know and I'll come on out." I appreciate that he didn't want to waste his and my time. The troubleshooting didn't work, and to no one's surprise, it was time to replace my 30-year-old furnace. I got four bids, and they were all competitive. Olympic was going to be able to install the soonest--and when it's below 40°F every night for a week, speed was an important factor. Anson from Olympic began the installation on a Saturday morning. He showed up on time, and was clean and courteous. Turns out my new furnace installation was not the simplest job in the world, which required him to come back on Sunday morning--and again on Monday evening to double check a few things. No extra change. We kept the cost at what we had agreed upon. He holds his own work to a very high standard, and it shows. He wants to get the job done right, and is willing to spend the time to do it. If you're running into trouble with your Furnace or AC add Olympic Heating and Air to your list. Maybe Anson can talk you through a simple troubleshoot without needing anyone to come out. If not, consider having Olympic take a look. read more

I had Olympic/Anson replace an aging furnace. He and his crew did an excellent job; the installation looked great and they left the job site clean. They were prompt, on time, and professional. Olympic's prices were very reasonable, based on the three bids I got for the job. If you want to support a small local business, I highly recommend Olympic. read more

Love our new central AC! Massive thanks for Anson for making the whole process quick and incredibly easy. After a few back and fourths, we settled on a design and plan and over the course of a weekend, he had the whole thing installed and running (including some unplanned masonry work) just in time for our current heat wave! read more

My experience with Olympic Heating & Air has been fantastic! My house had suffered from poor heating distribution, primarily caused by faulty duct installation from the previous owner. I worked with Anson, who is very friendly and professional. He responded to my initial service request and came over for a house inspection on the same day! Anson explained very clearly the issues with my current heating system and how he would address it. We agreed on a work proposal, and within a week he and his assistant had fixed all of my heating issues. This included: brand new ducts, new vents, condensation pump installation, Nest thermostat installation (I provided the Nest), and a few miscellaneous fixes on the furnace itself... all this in a single day, and at a very reasonable price! To recap: - Anson *actually responded* to my initial call (can't say the same for other companies) - He came over for an inspection on the same day I called. - He provided a clear work proposal, typed, and easy to understand (can't say the same for other companies) - He was available to begin work within a few days notice I now have a house with reliable heating that's more energy efficient. If you're suffering from heating issues, I highly recommend contacting Anson at Olympic Heating & Air. read more

Anson saved the day! We had a heating issue and he was able to figure out it was a wiring issue and repaired it with no problem. Very responsive and helpful. read more

We had a great experience with Olympic Heating and Air. They gave us a great price for a new furnace and ducting. Anson was able to relocate the furnace into the crawl space, which opened up a lot of area for additional storage in our basement. The new furnace works great, our home is much more comfortable than before, and we spend less money on gas for heating. Anson also saved the day when he was able to get our furnace working when we got air in the line when installing another gas appliance. He came over on short notice on a Sunday night. I highly recommend going with Olympic Heating for your furnace needs. read more

Mr. Wong gave me an honest estimate for a furnace that was correct for the number of registers and the square footage of my home. He was on time, cleaned up after he was done, did all the paperwork for the warranty and I felt comfortable having him in my home. I have recommended him to other people. The furnace he installed is great I can't even hear it go on and off. HIS QUOTE WAS VERY FAIR AND I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM! read more

I was introduced to Olympic Heating and Air and Anson Wong through a general contractor. I wound up hiring Olympic to move my furnace, redo ducting for my basement and balance the heating throughout my house. He came in after two previous HVAC companies had left me with a very loud and poorly functional system, huge ugly poorly placed ducts that lowered the ceiling by a foot and open holes in sections of my hard-wood floors. Anson came in and redesigned the entire system, moving the furnace to a location where it should have been placed initially and installing much smaller and efficient ducting. He gave me a very detailed all inclusive bid that was very reasonable and completed the project quickly. His work was meticulous and he responded without delay to any problems or needed adjustments He is incredibly skilled and creative in solving troublesome issues in the most efficient and elegant way. He is one of the most hard-working, thorough and conscientious contractors I've ever known. I have hired him again and couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

I recently replaced a 30+ yrs old furnace with a 96% efficiency 2 stage, variable speed Carrier furnace. Although the old furnace was still working, I noticed that my PG&E bill was sky rocked in January. I got a few recommendations from neighbors and also searched a couple companies with good ratings on Yelp. We explained to all four contractors who came to do the estimates about the temperature differences between up and downstairs. Anson was the only one suggested a solution to divert more air to upstairs and use a smart thermostat that can average the temperatures at different locations using multiple sensors. He also carefully calculated the size of the new furnace for us since it has 20% higher efficiency compared to the old one. It ended up to be a more complicated job than he expected for the duck work, but he completed the work within the estimated time. In addition, Anson responded to my emails in a timely manner with thorough answers. He studied on-line and recommended the Ecobee 3 thermostat without charging me the additional cost for this better and more expensive model. I would recommend this professional to anyone. read more
