Christian and his team installed ductless ac in 3 bedrooms of our house and did a wonderful job from start to finish. We initially had another contractor out, and he declined our job as being too complicated and suggested we use Triton instead. Quoting was easy and prompt, and was reasonable compared to what we've heard from friends doing similar jobs (~18k for the 3 rooms). Christian helped walk us through several possible options for our home and gave us ideas for future phases without feeling pushy. His team was very accommodating to our schedule when we had young sick kids at home, and he was very responsive to emails/texts. They cleaned the work areas really nicely at the end of each day. It was so nice to have heat in each room during the winter, and heading into summer the AC is SO NICE. I only wish we had done it sooner. read more

Christian from Triton was great! He communicated very timely, very reasonable with scheduling and fixed the issue with my wall heater. He even came back a few days later for further service for NO COST! I definitely recommend and will be using again in the future! read more

Christian and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was installed perfectly - an exceptionally professional group. I quoted my project (Mitsubishi heat pump replacing an old furnace) with a half dozen HVAC companies, and Triton was easily the most competitive on price and service. One year in, the unit is running flawlessly providing both heat and cooling to our whole house. Communication was clear and crews were always on time. They get busy so it can take time to schedule, but well worth the investment you're making in your home. read more

From start to finish Christian and his team were professional, accommodating and flexible installing our new Mitsubishi heat pump. Could not ask for a better experience with an HVAC company. Their price was the best value we found while getting quotes but this did not compromise their service. Christian listened to our input with each decision and worked extra to make sure our choices were implemented. He was very easy to reach and promptly responded to any messages. 100% would recommend Triton for anyone who needs HVAC work and will certainly use them in the future! read more

Christian Bedon and his team provided excellent service -- just above and beyond in every way. Very friendly, professional, and detail oriented service including communicating with Mitsubishi to get new parts for our old Mitsubishi mini split that was still covered under warranty. Christian proactively gave me regular updates throughout and was super easy to communicate with. Couldn't be happier with our experience, both units blowing cold air now! read more

It's like a new house! We moved in to our home 27 years ago. After about 6 years, our vintage 1971 furnace finally died. We replaced it with a modern high-efficiency gas furnace and life seemed pretty good. The new furnace brought the house up to temp in the blink of an eye. Of course then it would cool off and another blast of hot air would warm things up again. We'd had that system 'tuned' by HVAC specialists several times but the house was always either too hot or too cold. Almost to the day that the warranty expired, that furnace too died. We shopped around quite a bit before replacing the furnace a second time. Triton was the fifth company that we spoke with. They were the only guys who started by telling us the last furnace was too big and was causing the 'short cycling'. They gave us a proposal the next day and they were great on price, had the shortest lead time and gave us a simple plan to make changes to bring the house current. We chose the modulating Carrier Infinity. The job went super fast. Workmanship was very nice. Clean installation, perfect fit and finish. But the best part is that the new furnace is completely quiet and the entire house is a consistent and even temperature. Really good job. Great price. Highly recommend. read more

Outstanding service; we had a borderline emergency situation where our downstairs furnace stopped working right in the middle of a cold snap and as my family was getting over a cold. The team was able to re-arrange their schedule to fit us in, and Christian was able to quickly diagnose the problem, fix it, and get us back up and running. He also inspected our other furnace and found a couple of flaws in how it was set up. Overall, he was so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. While here, he was able to look at where to install an A/C unit and prepare a quote. Based on my experience so far, I'm really looking forward to working with the team on installing A/C in advance of what will undoubtedly be another very hot summer. Thanks team, you are a pleasure to work with. read more

Our Air condition broke last summer, I knew it was only matter of time before it broke again. As spring already started to feel like Summer, we decided to contact Christian Bedon with Triton group based on the great reviews he has. Christian was very professional and offered competitive rates . We got a new AC/ furnace heater , a new thermostat and a return on our second floor recommended by him which makes a HUGE difference on those hot days. Christian and his team got the job done on the time expected and on budget . I am so happy and thankful for the great job and my new AC! . I would recommend Christian with Triton group to all my friends and famiku read more

Triton Group HVAC Engineering - New AC - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Oakland, California

See all

I'm a big fan of Christian, Bernabe and the Triton crew. I have used them twice to install brand new ACs in my home. Christian is always kind, humble, responsive and knowledgeable. We've reached out a few times to help with minor maintenance when we don't have a clue, and the crew is always happy to help immediately. Thank you Triton! read more

Triton upgraded and fixed our HVAC about 6 years ago, and we have since recommended them to several other folks. They provide excellent service, work fast and clean, and produce quality work. We haven't had any problems with what they installed and really glad we went with them. read more

Christian and Bernabé are lifesavers! My husband and I had been holding out on installing AC since we moved into our house a little over a year ago but the recent heatwaves and poor air quality finally pushed us over the edge. Christian responded immediately and visited our house the same week we contacted him. He advised us to keep our current furnace, gave us two options for the air conditooning system, very clearly explained the pros and cons of both options, and gave us fair estimates for both options. He and Bernabé installed the system on the dates they reserved for the work and followed up with inspections. I highly recommend Triton Group! read more

Christian and his team did a fantastic job installing our heat pump system. He worked closely with us to make sure that everything was done just right. Placement of the compressor so it's hidden from view. Check. Placing the tubes in a way that minimized impacting the aesthetics of the house. Check. Anticipating that we may want to add another cassette unit. Check. If you want great customer service and attention to detail, Triton is a no-regrets choice. read more

I used Triton to install central air conditioning in my home. Christian and his assistant did an excellent job, and were very easy to work with. They were friendly, reliable and efficient, and their pricing was quite reasonable. A number of my neighbors have used Triton as well, and everyone is extremely satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend this company for your HVAC needs. read more

Christian and his team were great. Super easy to work with. Showed up on time and did the job, showed me pros and cons and prices of various system options, and were all nice people. Highly recommend! read more

Seriously, Christian is awesome! Our furnace that he installed a couple years ago is still running great, and last year we had them add AC to our house, which we love. We recently had a blown AC fuse due to a power outage and Christian quickly came over to fix it. This is the best HVAC company out there! read more

Triton Group's estimate came in at a great price for the installation of air conditioning in our home in Oakland. Christian was easy to work with, went through various options with us and was not pushy whatsoever. The installation took two days and now we have ac during the hot days in Oakland! We decided to install the ecobee thermostat in our home after the air conditioning installation and Christian came back to help us with it. I highly recommend going with Triton Group for your ac needs! read more

Christian and his team installed AC in our Oakland Hills home. He came highly recommended by my brother-in-law, who is a general contractor in Piedmont. The team was fast, efficient, clean, professional and we had cool air piping through our home within 36 hours of their arrival. Highly recommend! read more

I'll start with the good: When I called, my call went straight to Christian and he arranged to come out the very next day to take a look at my malfunctioning heater. He arrived to the appointment promptly (actually, like 20 minutes early). And there was no charge for him to come out and try to figure out what was wrong. He quickly determined the problem was with the electronic ignition unit. Now for the bad: I never received the promised quote for repairing my heater. I didn't think much of it for the first week, since he came out a few days before Thanksgiving. I figured he probably took a couple of days off. When the next week passed, I started calling him. Then I realized why it was a bad thing that my first call went straight to Christian: he apparently has no office support. I called several times and got no answer and he did not return the voicemail message I left him. With all the positive Yelp reviews for this company, I suspect it has become overextended and cannot keep up with all of its business. read more

Slightly amending me review. Christian got in touch via Yelp to say he got my email address wrong. Honest mistake, I wish he had reached out via phone if the email didn't work. But this is not a reflection of his work. Contact Triton for a heater repair. The wait for an inspection and estimate was a week. Christian came out and said he would email over an estimate in a couple of days. Over two weeks passed, I called to check in and left a message to no reply. I understand it's the busiest time of year, but it's essential to let your prospective customers know they should probably hire someone else so they're not sitting in their cold house waiting for a call back. read more

Absolutely first-rate! Christian Bedom (Triton Group) installed a complete system for my daughter's 1,100 sq ft house, including all ductwork and registers, for $4,200. No-one else quoted under $6,500 He also installed a furnace for one of my clients (I'm a real estate broker). I don't know what the cost was, but they are real happy about the job. He just installed a replacement furnace for me. This is a very high-quality Carrier 95% furnace, and the total cost (including installation) was $2,100. By far the cheapest quote (out of three), and the work was done perfectly. My old furnace quit on Friday, and fortunately he had an opening on Monday. He and his assistant Victor were in and out in around six hours, and we had heat again. The heat is more even and comfortable than it used to be, but I guess that is because it is a higher-quality furnace (the old one was a 22 year old 80% furnace). I think the new electronic thermostat (included in the $2,100) also makes things better. Mickey Tenenbaum Berkeley read more

Very professional top notch service. Out of all the other HVAC companies I contacted Christian proposal was accurate and he would replace my furnace with a american company Carrier and not some cheap chinese company that the other HVAC guys wanted to install. Communication with Christian was on point! he would call, text and email for details to make sure he could be fast and efficient before he started the job. To replace my furnace, thermostat control ,repair & install ducts took him from 9am - 4pm. Christian clean up and removed all old parts from the site in just one day!!!! Of course I am telling all family, friends, and neighbors about his work. Now, If I could find somebody like him to replace my kitchen counters with quartz life would be good in 2017. read more

Christian was awesome!!!! I found the Yelp reviews on line after seeing that he had such great reviews, I went on line and booked an appointment. His first availability was on 12/22/14 and I didn't really want to wait this long, but I figure, what the heck! Well, I made the appointment on Saturday, he called back on Sunday and then he came to take a look at my heater on Monday. He arrived promptly and he took the time to check and show me the issues. Apparently, I never changed my filter... because well, I'm a first time home owner and don't know the first thing about how things work. Christian took the time to explain things to me in detail and he found that there was nothing really wrong other than that! I was thrilled! I found him to be honest and knows his trade. I have a lot of respect for those businesses that don't try to fast talk and scam some work out of you. I highly recommend Triton. read more

I am a licensed real estate broker and work with MANY contractors from many trades. I had a project to rehab a 100 yo building in downtown San Jose (duplex) that was in pretty bad shape. The old furnace was original and vents had dust, rats, and who knows what else in them. Over the years the vents were adjusted (mostly wrong). I had 1/2 dozen quotes from both large shops and independents on craigslist and was surprised how much difference there was from competitor to competitor. I contacted Christian from his website and gave detail of how many vents, how many furnaces and general description of project (pretty much rip out two entire heating/venting systems) and install two new high-efficiency furnaces, install all new ducts and vents, and move furnances and rerun gas lines for furnaces and for other appliances. He sent me a "written" proposal including a picture of the building, detailed description of what as included and even provded two options. His prices were the most competitive and with name brand appliances. I scheduled meeting to inspect property (expecting the upsale) but instead he actually worked out an even better deal for me since there was so much work. Christain and his crew started work exactly on the day we requested and they worked straight, barely taking breaks for lunch, and had two complete system with about 20+ vents, gas line works, exhaust up and out and electrical as needed. There work was CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL and FAST. They did NOT cut any corners and even came back after we completed the remaining rehab to help us start the system up and show us how to service it. Also sent him to several clients of mine for maintenance and they all gave similar feedback. Christian and his team at Triton group are honest hard working guys and it shows in their reviews. read more

I have written about this company prior. The Triton Group and their employees are at the top of their craft..Christian and Bernabe came through for us when we had a last minute electrical issue. They were kind enough to schedule us at the last minute which will provide a path to the repair of the larger electrical issue. The Triton Group has always been excellent in their craft, always on time, and open to helping at the last moment. I can not recommend Christian and his company higher .. professional, fair in their pricing, and experts in their field. read more

Triton was GREAT! I needed a new HVAC system, furnace and AC unit, the whole package; and they took care of everything from the beginning to the end. He was fair, trustworthy, honest, and took the extra time to make sure it was done right. This is not an area where you want any errors. Every job is slightly different and they made sure everything was perfect for the inspection to get the tax credits and everything passed with flying colors. I contacted maybe 6 or 7 different companies, much larger companies, so you can image their overhead, therefore, their quotes were all much higher. You might get an email response in 2 days, but for me it wasn't urgent and worked out fine. I do recall, he had an urgent call to manage, and he took care of them and I was also taken care of in a very timely manner. I would recommend him again and use him again if I have any issues; Triton gets 5 stars easily! read more

I've had a 30 yr old furnace which was due for an upgrade. In addition, the summers here in the peninsula have been getting quite hot and my wife and I felt it was time for an A/C. We obtained about 8 estimates from different local HVAC firms and they were either overpriced with huge markups or they couldn't do the entire job (e.g. electrical had to be sub contracted etc) or they weren't honest (lied and said they could do the job when it was time to do it, they bailed), reliable or had very poor communication skills. Finally, we settled on the Triton Group. After my poor experience with all of the previous estimates, I would've been happy with an average job. I was pleasantly surprised when the guys at Triton Group did a phenomenal job of upgrading my system and blew away my expectations. But wait, don't take my word for it. Meet Christian (the owner) for yourself and he will exhibit... a] Great communication and very responsive to phone calls / emails b] A down to earth / honest personality; no unnecessary upsells c] No huge markups and very competitive prices (probably the best you'll find in the area) d] Answers all your questions re: options with granular pricing e] Excellent technical / debugging abilities f] Cleans up after g] Is very relaxed while on the job and jokes around with his workers which shows great competancy If you're in the Bay Area and require to install a central air conditioning and / or central heating system, contact the Triton Group. You will not be disappointed. read more

Triton came highly recommended through friends of ours. Our HVAC was in need of a total replacement; AC, furnace, filtration system, even all the ducts. Out of all the bids that we received, Triton not only provided the solution that was right-sized for our budget, but was right-sized for our home. Throughout the process, Christian and his crew were responsive to our concerns and incredibly diligent in rectifying mistakes from a previous renovation. Even the follow-up support to dial in our system settings was excellent. At the end, our neighbor was so impressed with the quality of work that he hired Triton as well. Truly, Triton should be at the top of your list when it comes to HVAC. read more

My husband actually found Triton, and I just went along with the program and trusted that he would find a good company to install our central heating and air. I'm writing this review, because I feel like it's important for you all to know that this is a really good company and a very professional team. To start - they are very meticulous about making sure they keep their work area clean and tidy (for me that's a huge plus). They clean while they are working, and do an extra vacuum cleaning job when they are finished for the day. They went as far as laying down protective paper on their walkway on the floor in my house, and also made a plastic wall/barrier to separate their work area from our household furniture while working in the attic. When they were done for the day it's like you wouldn't even know they were here. Now about the AC and Heating.....we love it!!!!! Everything passed inspections. My family couldn't be happier with the service as well as the new central heating and air. Do yourself a favor and call Triton for your HVAC needs. One last piece that I forgot to add - we also had a mini split add into our back house and it works perfect! No complaints there either. Have a great day! read more

I discovered Triton Group after I researched for a duct cleaning company to clean the duct's of my uncle's 70-year-old house which have never been cleaned. Previously, my uncle had answered a robocall for California Duct Cleaning, (800) 242-4926, Santa Clara or San Jose for a $40 duct clean. CDC's technician Rami arrived and he wanted to upsell my uncle for deep vent cleaning for $45 per vent and $150 per cold air returns. My uncle has 8 vents and 2 cold air returns. My uncle paid Rami the $40 just to get the high pressure salesperson/tech out of the house even though no cleaning was permitted. I went to the Triton Group's website, tritong.com, requested a quote for duct cleaning for 8 vents and 2 cold air returns. Christian, owner, called me with a very reasonable quote. Christian and his assistant arrived at my uncle's house and the cleaned all the vents and cold air returns within two hours. Triton did not damage my uncle's walls as did Rami when Rami tried to open one of the cold air return vents. Chris did not have to go up into the attic as Rami wanted to do. Unlike California Duct Cleaning, Chris Bedon and his company were honest and respectful when they dealt with me and my uncle. I highly recommend Christian and his Triton Group. read more

Christian & crew are the best! We have already been using Triton the last few years for our air duct cleaning. Triton was the perfect company to go with when our office AC unit broke. The job would require a crane to remove the old AC & replace it with the new one on top of a 2 story building on a busy street. I called a few companies to get a few price quotes. Most did not return my phone calls or wanted to charge alot for the quote. Finally, paid $65 to get another quote (Triton did not charge us for the evaluation). The 2nd quote was about $1000 more & provided less warranty for parts & labor. Triton was easy and flexible with scheduling. He and his staff did the installation quickly and quietly so it did not disrupt any of our business. No reason to get any other price quotes next time. We will just call Triton. read more

We used Triton to install air conditioning in our formerly very hot house and highly recommend them. Their quote was not only the lowest of those we received, but also the most thorough. The owner, Christian, is professional and friendly, and his crew was efficient, left the house clean, and were very respectful about observing social distancing protocols. Installation took two days and the morning of day two, Christian sent me an email in the morning describing exactly what the crew would be doing that day. (Both his communication and his crew's punctuality were fantastic.) Now we have a cool, comfortable house, along with the peace of mind that installation was done properly. read more

Called around to get pricing to add AC to my heating system. Then I searched on eBay for the equipment that was included in several of the proposals. WOW! Several companies wanted to charge $3,500 to install! I found Christian here and called him. His web-site points out the huge install fees that most companies charge. But I got the right price, done right and on time - all with a smile. No need to shop elsewhere. This is a first rate HVAC company. read more

I just had Christian do some work for me, and I have to put up a review! Very easy to get a hold of and co-ordinate times to come out for estimates. He gave me estimates for several options, of which is was the best quote compared to others.. Based on previous Yelp reviews, I chose to go with him. He moved my furnace form the gather floor to the attic and re-routed the return plenum to the correct location. He was in and out in a day like he quoted!. I would definitely use him again if I need to. Thanks for doing a great job! Oh, and to be honest, this is scary, but I have never even met him, he worked with another contractor at the house to gain access, all communication was done over the phone or email. read more

Several of my friends recommended I reach out to Triton Group for some issues we had with our HVAC system. Wish I had listened to them sooner. Christian and team were prompt and courteous when setting up the appointment. The quote he put together was detailed and diagnosed our issues in a way that was easy to understand. In one day, Triton Group resolved all of the issues we had with air ducts being too forceful in some parts of our house and too weak in others. They also solved issues with the exhaust system. Prior to Triton Group, we had 2 other experts try to diagnose the issue and recommend solutions that were impractical and infeasible. Triton Group fixed it once and for all and at a price that was very reasonable. read more

I needed to upgrade my home heating system and talked to several contractors. Triton's price was the most competitive and the owner, Christian was responsive and straightforward. I also asked a "friend of a friend" to bid the job and he said he couldn't beat Triton's pricing. As far as the work performed, I am extremely impressed. Christian and his crew of two men: Arrived at the agreed time Took extra precautions to make sure the house was cleaned Did all of their own sheet metal work- and it was done with great finesse Worked quietly and unobtrusively Cleaned and hauled away all waste The even installed a light in the crawlspace to make it easier to service the heater! We installed a WIFI thermostat, which was a first time for Christian, and he was enthusiastic about learning and understanding the new technology. I am totally satisfied with the workmanship, professionalism and value provided by Triton. It was one of the best contractor experiences I've had, and I recommend them enthusiastically. BTW I found them on Craigslist read more

Our heater stopped working. I was able to schedule Christian to come out within a couple of days through his website. It turned out to be a small issue that required replacing a thermostat. Christian went above and beyond - not only replaced the equipment, but checked it, replaced the filter and secured the thermostat for proper position. If I have any HVAC issues, I will be definitely calling Christian again. read more

In buying an air conditioner for our house, we got 5 bids and Triton came in with the most competitive bid after a few rounds of negotiation. Christian is super responsive and friendly and his team was very professional. They installed the A/C as promised and navigated the fact that my wife was home with our small baby with respect. Now that we've had a few heat waves, we found that the A/C wasn't quite keeping up with the 100+ temperatures we have been having. Christian returned with his team twice to try and analyze the problem. He replaced some of the smaller ducting we had with a larger diameter and replaced two of the vents in our larger room, and now the A/C works great. Highly recommend his service if you want to get A/C installed (and trust me, you do!). read more

Triton Group is the best! Got bids from other companies for a new furnace install and Triton came in as one of the lowest. Christian, the owner, knows his trade. He is honest, trust-worthy, and a super nice guy. He was responsive to come bid on the job, send over a quote, and return my calls to talk through my options. He also didn't try to up sell me and understood we were on a budget. On the install day he was on time and he and his assistant worked quickly and efficiently and got the job done in one day, which my wife was very happy about -- we have heat! The install was clean and well engineered (important in a tight crawlspace). They were able to re-use the existing duct work by sealing it well, saving us money, and modified the return duct so the whole system is much quieter than before. I'm extremely happy with our choice of using Christian of the Triton Group. Five stars. read more

I recently had the great pleasure of working with Christian at Triton Group. I specialize in flipping homes, but recently helped my family a major remodel in Noe Valley. After taking 5 bids, Christian stood out by far as the best man for the job. He was very courteous, professional, and very thoughtful! We had an emergency with another unit downstairs from a previous installation and he came out of his way to check on us and he even gave us a few pointers on how to protect ourselves from future issues. I am excited to have a new friend in HVAC and look forward to using him again on my next projects! Kenneth Gallardo II, KG3.com read more

I recommend that you get your other quotes first and save Triton Group for last. You will find that owner Christian is personable and trustworthy with very competitive pricing. He is pretty busy (for good reason) and may take an extra day to return your email but he always does. He installed two new Carrier units, replaced 2 line sets and added an extra return air vent in two days. Everything is working perfectly and I could not be happier. Thank you Christian! read more
