After dealing with mold remediation in our Novato home, we needed a thorough air duct cleaning to make sure our indoor air quality was actually safe, and Breathable delivered beyond our expectations. Juan and his team were knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process —…
The service for my recent air duct cleaning was excellent! Thank you! Alex led the crew and he was very detailed oriented and conscientious. We did not have an extra filter for the furnace, which had not been changed for far too long as it is in the crawl space and very hard (impossible for me) to reach. After…
We hired Breathable to come out to our San Francisco apartment for a full vent and furnace cleaning, and were very thorough. Felipe and the team was professional and efficient. I would recommend Breathable for vent cleaning services.
Juan and his team did a great job at our home in Campbell. We had them do a Type B cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and insulation on the duct supply in our garage. Communication throughout the process was excellent. Juan called us while they were working to alert us of an issue, which we appreciated and approved the…
I recently had Breathable come out to our home in Orinda for duct cleaning and inspection, and I was really impressed with how the whole experience went. Juan's team of technicians were clearly experienced — they got to work quickly and didn't waste any time diagnosing issues with our ductwork. What stood out to me…
We had a Type B post-construction HVAC cleaning done after some recent remodeling left sanding dust throughout the house. Scheduling & communication with the owner was very easy. Alex arrived and got to work right away. They covered the floors, vacuumed the system thoroughly, and cleaned the outside of the fan. When…
Breathable came out to our home twice each time before our babies were born 4 years apart. They are very respectful and competent technicians. Our indoor air quality improved dramatically both times. Highly recommended!
I'm really glad I went with Breathable to handle the air duct cleaning in our home in Alameda. From the start, the process was smooth — the quote came back quickly and was very reasonable, and Nir was responsive and patient about answering all my questions and concerns. Juan and his crew were fantastic: prompt,…
Breathable came highly recommended by our AC and furnace company, and they truly did not disappoint. Our crew leader Alex was polite, detail-oriented, and took the time to thoroughly evaluate what we needed before putting together a clear plan to improve our indoor air quality and furnace operation. Even though the…
Alex and team were clean and thorough. Will use them again.
We bought an older home in Livermore that needed some real TLC, and had Breathable Inc. out for air duct cleaning on a house with 16 vents and 2 furnaces. The difference has been huge. Filipe, who was soft-spoken, sweet, and clearly passionate about his work, and his teammate worked from 8am to 4pm, reconnecting…
Had duct cleaning done by Breathable recently and I'm genuinely impressed with how much better the job was compared to a previous service I had done by another company. The difference in quality was noticeable right away. Felipe and the team were professional, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing — the…
Alex and his Breathable team were fantastic. We had never had our ducts cleaned in the 28 years we've lived in our house in Walnut Creek. They not only did a very thorough and methodical cleaning, but they also got a bathroom fan working again that had been out of commission for number of years. They took the…
I recently had Breathable come out to my San Mateo house for HVAC vent cleaning, and Juan led the crew in doing an absolutely awesome job. This was actually my second time working with them, and both experiences have been excellent. The team was thorough with the duct cleaning and really improved our indoor air…
I have used Breathable's services many years back for my old home and it was such a good experience that when I needed air duct cleaning for my current Santa Clara home, I quickly decided to use them again. Nir was incredibly responsive throughout the process, even answering my questions on holidays which really…
Had Breathable come out to my home in Danville for air duct cleaning and couldn't be happier with the service. Felipe and his crew were fantastic - professional, efficient, and really knew what they were doing. What I appreciated most was that they took the time to show me before and after photos of my ducts, which…
I'm very happy with the duct cleaning service I received from Breathable in San Jose. Two HVAC technicians arrived ahead of the scheduled time and were courteous enough to wait 10 minutes for me to get home from work. Alex and his partner spent a solid 4 hours thoroughly cleaning the ducts and furnace, and they even…
I have used Breathable twice now for our old San Francisco home. This time we needed our air ducts cleaned and wanted to install a more efficient air purification system to improve our indoor air quality. Felipe, the lead HVAC technician, and his team were skilled and professional throughout the process. They took…
This is my third time using Breathable over the past 10 years, and they continue to deliver exceptional service. Felipe and his team member arrived right on time in Pleasanton, within five minutes of our scheduled window, which I really appreciated. What impressed me most was how they took the time to properly…
when they arrived - no mess or debris left behind. Juan was excellent at communicating throughout the process, explaining issues he found as he worked and advising me of additional work I may need without any pushy upselling tactics. The results were immediate - I noticed the air flow improved right away after the…
