    New Bosch Unit outside, heat pump is installed in attic.
    Becky B.

    We were very pleased with the work and experience we had with Refreshed Heating & Cooling. Our 26 yr old HVAC system needed replacement and Richard, Robert, Francisco and Caesar were solid professionals. From the initial walk thru explaining our Bosch options thru installation and timely completion the RHC team was professional, insightful, and respectful of our home. I strongly recommend for anyone looking to replace an HVAC system.

    Heat Pump

    Not only was this company recommended by the Quit Carbon team at the city of Berkeley, their quote was slightly less than half of what the larger company quoted us. Installation was on time, done well, and offered a very reasonable service plan option for ongoing maintenance. When I reported what I felt was a potential problem, they came out immediately, verified the situation and made an adjustment at no cost to us. I have had a great experience with these folks. Our heat pump has kept our house warm all winter and cool during the heat spell. I am so glad to have it.

    Bosch mini-split outside unit

    We had a Bosch mini-split installed in our primary bedroom back in 2018 and it's been working great. Recently my wife has been complaining that it smells when being used. I opened the cover on the indoor unit and found that it was covered in mold. Not knowing what to do about it I called Bosch who gave me the number of a few companies in my area who were certified to work on their equipment. I called all the companies on the list and the one who stood out the most to me was Refreshed Heating and Cooling out of Concord, California. I spoke to Richard (owner) and he was very patient and took the time to explain everything and made me feel at ease due to my previous experiences of hiring contractors over the years. On the day of cleaning my mini-split I had John show up exactly on time with a nice looking vehicle that was wrapped with the companies information and logo on it that gave the overall impression of the company being very professional. I had set up a towel on the floor beneath my mini-split along with a step stool and a garbage can to make things as easy as possible. John placed what looked like a waterproof blanket over the top of my towel to create an even better barrier to make sure my carpet stayed clean which made me feel better about how much pride he takes in his work. Since my unit was so dirty it took quite a bit of time get it clean but when it was finally done it looked like brand new on the inside and all the mold I could see was gone. John also took a container full of compressed nitrogen and blew the coils off while using a towel to capture all the dust that blew off. John seems to take a lot of pride in his work and you can tell he has a lot of experience. When all was said and done we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I did sign a contract to have them come out every 6 months to clean this unit to make sure it never gets this bad again. Breathing mold is not good for you especially in a confined room so hopefully this will never get this bad again. If you have a mini-split I would highly recommend Refreshed Heating and Cooling for all your maintenance needs. We are extremely happy with how things turned out.

    Heat pump

    One of the best experiences I've had with a home project! We got a new heat pump and new ducting done with them. Working with Refreshed Heating was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Michael and Robert were both incredibly professional and easy to work with. Michael took the time to walk me through all of our options, explaining the pros and cons of each in a way that actually made sense. I appreciated that they offered a wider range of brands compared to other vendors we talked to--it really felt like we had choices. They also went above and beyond by handling the asbestos abatement process for us, managing all the communication and making sure it didn't become a headache on our end. The entire project went smoothly. We have a young child and a dog at home, and both Darwin and were super considerate and respectful of our space and routines throughout the heat pump install. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area looking for high-quality HVAC work. Bonus: their pricing was extremely competitive too.

    This review of Refreashed Heating and Cooling is to share with other potential clients our experience of partnering with Michael and his team to purchase & install a 4-zone mini-split system for our home. Introduction Meeting: We reached out to Michael Forshey regarding the purchase and installation of a mini-split system. Michael was on time for our initial meeting and walked us through various manufacturer options and required zones for our home. Since the mini-split system was new to us, Michael was very informative and professional in answering our questions during our meeting. We met and talked with Michael and his colleague Robert several times during our introduction phase. Each time we left a message they were prompt in returning our phone calls and answering our follow-up questions. We decided to partner with Refreshed Heating and Cooling because they presented us with a competitive quote and we felt comfortable and confident during our communications that Michael and his team would provide us with a positive experience. Work Completion: The installation of the 4-zone mini-split system, we were informed would take 4 days to complete. Before the start of the project, we met with Michael and Robert to review and discuss the project and answer any last-minute questions. On the start date of the project, Saul and Gilbert arrived at our house on time and walked us through the schedule for the day. We confirmed with them the location of each unit. While installing one of the units they informed us of an issue with a header beam above a window, suggesting we relocate the unit slightly to the right to avoid drilling through the header beam. Saul and Gilbert were very professional, they always kept us informed on what was happening each day and taking the time to answer any questions we may have. The quality of their work was clean and professional and they proceeded to clean up after each day. Saul and Gilbert completed the installation on schedule. Saul provided a walk-through of the project demonstrating the various features/controls of the remote. Follow-up: Upon completion of the project, Michael called to discuss the project and to make sure we were satisfied with the installation (two thumbs up). At the posting of this review, it's been a week since the installation and I'm happy to say everything is working great. The units are quiet, and we finally have a home that is warm and cozy in every room. (Prior we had an outdated standard furnace with old ducts and heating throughout the house would be uneven/cold in some rooms and overly hot in others.) Looking forward to summer when we can try out the cooling aspect of the mini-split! Thank you Michael & Team!

From the start, the owner took the time to walk through multiple options with me, explaining the pros and cons of each. He was thorough, patient, and ultimately came up with a smart approach that worked well for the layout of the house. The installation crew was excellent. They were professional, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable about what they were doing. They also took care to keep things tidy and picked up after themselves each day, which I really appreciated. On top of that, the pricing was competitive compared to other quotes I received. Overall, a great experience and I'm very happy with the results. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work.

I went through the automated system by phone and an appt was scheduled the coming Monday - fast. I don't like automated systems and this system was unlike the others for cable, healthcare, etc., this one actually WORKED on every single thing the first time! I usually have negative sentiment towards a company after using their poorly designed automated system, not this one - I had positive sentiment. I got the text confirmation immediately. In the coming days I received the expected and timely reminder, and "heads-up on the way." David showed up in the arrival time window professionally and wore booties over his boots inside our house. David assessed the error code, confirmed the issue, focused on safety and then gave me the bad news. First, it was going to be expensive - an induction motor replacement. Second, though it was going to be expensive, he didn't recommend I hire him. He thought I'd get better (faster, more efficient, happy) service for my brand of furnace by working with an authorized factory service company, given that it was this particular manufacturer. Apparently, if he called in for part availability, it's a job he certainly can do, that's not the issue, the company would be slow to respond to him because he's not an authorized service company for my brand - YET. He is for another brand, just not mine - YET. This would add friction to the process, to the point of not accepting as credible the assessment (we had a code, mind you) of an experienced HVAC pro. He didn't want me to go through this. It wouldn't make me happy and it's possible it would just delay - without heat in winter - the inevitable of having to go the authorized service route in the end anyway. I will say that using Yelp I found an authorized company I liked. (I called two companies, the first one was in town and a mile away and I was not impressed. The next was a couple cities over and I used them.) I was not charged for the diagnosis. THIS IS LONG TERM THINKING AND TRUE, OLD-SCHOOL CUSTOMER SERVICE! I not only recommend Art of Comfort though I did not have more than the diagnostic piece done, I have saved their number for the future and will share it with friends and neighbors. Our house has two separate furnace / AC systems. I had them installed new in 2006. Something is bound to go wrong after 19 years and I have David and Art of Comfort on speed dial. Thank you David!

They arrived a little past the initial 9am window on the first day, but they worked incredibly hard and got the entire complex job done right on schedule.

The workmanship is top-notch. They perfectly sealed the exterior wall where the lineset exits, helped me get the Kumo Cloud Wi-Fi connected to my phone, and hauled away all the old debris, leaving the site spotless. As a testament to their technical skill, when I asked about the refrigerant line vacuum test, they had pulled it down to 350 microns--which is a great number and proves they don't cut corners! Pics attached of the final setup. If you want an HVAC company that is honest in the office and expert in the field, we highly recommend the Galaxy team!

Our furnace recently went down and was not blowing hot air, leaving our house less than 60 degrees inside and getting colder. We called the original installer (not Mercury) of the furnace to take a look and see if he could fix it. Couldn't figure out the problem but said he would replace the motor and pressure switches for $2,000 after looking at the unit a bit. He then told us we should consider installing a heat pump, so we decided to get quotes from several companies to install one. Ian was the only that asked us "do you actually want to replace it?" instead of immediately trying to sell us a new unit. Even just speaking with him over the phone for a few minutes, he showed just how knowledgeable he was and what questions we needed to ask the other sales reps. So I waited for Ian to come by and give us his opinion. Within 20 minutes, Ian had CORRECTLY diagnosed the problem and had our furnace back up and running for the first time in over a week. He then showed us everything that was wrong with the original installation of the unit. Ian is so incredibly knowledgeable about every single aspect of these units: the thermostats, motors, electrical, filters, fuses, wiring, troubleshooting, everything. He also gave us a quote for the install of a new heat pump and the pricing was incredibly competitive compared to all the other big names in the area. I will NEVER call any one else to get my HVAC serviced ever again. Ian and his team have our business for life and we couldn't be any more grateful.

I found this company based on all the wonderful Yelp reviews to tune up my old gas furnace- something I do every year before the winter season to ensure optimal maintenance. They came out and immediately refused to do the service citing possible asbestos tape. I asked how this was possible when the last 15 years I've gotten service and have even asked the contractors to do a visual inspection of my system. They weren't sure but said that another employee in the area can come look and give me an estimate for a new system. I thought this was shady and it turns out, I was 100% right. They came later that day and quoted me $26K for a new system not including subcontracting to get the asbestos removed (another $1500). I was told and shown pictures that there was evidence of the same tape inside the duct work. I was told I would get these pictures sent to me with along with the estimate but never received any of them. I got someone to come out and test a sample of said material for $100 which did come out positive for asbestos. However the only asbestos that presented any harm was the tape on the outside of the system. There was no asbestos inside but it was recommended that I do more expensive air testing since Perfect Star said I would not be able to use my heater without the asbestos getting released into the air. Not only was this stressful to hear right before the cold weather, but I was very concerned that over the last decade I had inadvertently put my whole families health in danger using this furnace. Meanwhile, Raymond Kinder texted me a few days later to find out if I was going to move forward with the new unit. I told him asbestos removal was my priority. His response via text was "if they remove asbestos, you will not be able to run that furnace as the gases will not be vented out properly." This was not true. After several weeks of not using my heater and exploring other options to deal with a pretend problem they created for me, I went with Air Quality Testing who charged $540 for an air test. $640 later along with having no use of my heater, I learned that there is no asbestos running through my air or ducts. Perfect Star literally lied to me in order to attempt to get me to drop nearly $30,000 on a new system. Stay away from this company! They do not deserve your business for lying to their customers.
