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…
We have been loyal customers of Breathable for many years across multiple properties, and they continue to exceed our expectations. Recently, we completed several home renovations that resulted in a persistent basement dust smell coming through our vents whenever our HVAC system was running. After trying two other…
Wow! All the stars! The only regret we have about Breathable is not finding them years ago. We recently had a mold issue in our bedroom due to water intrusion from a faulty window installation. I contacted Breathable as they are one of the few companies I found capable of doing full HVAC mold remediation. From first…
Wonderful service. Alex and his team cleaned the heater and the ducts at my sisters house. They were efficient and professional. Would definately recommend them.
Felipe was great and the team did excellent work. Nir was available as needed for additional explanations. We were very happy with the service.
The 3-man team From Breathable, Inc that came out on to perform the air duct cleaning service did a great job! They arrived on time and were well organized. The group was easy to work with and were very focused on all aspects of the deep cleaning service. They began by laying protective plastic in all work areas,…
Filipe and his team at Breathable did an excellent job with our duct repair and duct cleaning in Concord! We had a damaged duct in our crawl space that needed fixing, plus we wanted all our ducts cleaned. The HVAC technicians repaired the duct and secured it much better than it was originally, then cleaned all the…
Alex and his team from Breathable did an outstanding job cleaning our home air ducts in Martinez. From the moment they contacted us with their pre-arrival ETA communication, their professionalism really stood out. What impressed me most was how much care they took to keep my home clean throughout the entire process.…
Juan and his crew from Breathable arrived on time for my air duct and dryer vent cleaning and were professional and efficient. Juan explained each step of the process, from carefully taping protective covering on my floors to showing me what they found during the duct cleaning. Even though I have a small house with…
Earlier today Alex and his colleagues came and did the Big cleaning of my HVAC system. (Type B System cleaning) They did a great job completely disassembling the fan and cleaning each fan blade.
Alex’s team was very professional and very through in my air duct cleaning in Oakland. They had a crew come over and they clearly knew what they were doing and got to work right away by cleaning my ducts, and furnace fans. I also got some nice tips on what may need replacement down the road. Thanks guys!
After contacting several cleaning services around the SF area, I wasn't able to find a service that didn't subcontract out the service until Breathable was recommended. I knew once I spoke with the owner Nir, that I was in good hands. I finished a remodeling project that involved installing new hvac vents, but the…
We had Breathable Air Duct Cleaning come out in November 2025 and they did a really great job. The team was extremely professional—they taped everything off before starting and completely cleaned up after themselves when they were done. They did a thorough job vacuuming the entire ductwork system in our house, and…
I recently hired Breathable for a vent cleaning and sealing service, and I am beyond impressed with the work done by Filipe and his team. From start to finish, the level of professionalism was top-notch. As soon as they arrived, they took great care to protect my home by laying down plastic sheeting across the…
Alex and his crew did an awesome job cleaning the air ducts and dryer vent/duct in my San Francisco home. The 3-men crew came early, covered the surrounding area of each vent with plastic, removed the vent covers and washed them before cleaning the air ducts. They discovered issues with each register boot not…
Felipe's crew did an excellent job with our air duct cleaning and even identified some unsealed register boots to seal for $30/each. He was thorough, efficient, and respectful of our home (took off shoes on our request)! Professional, reliable, and easy to work with--I would recommend to anyone in Oakland looking for quality air duct cleaning.
Felipe and his team did an outstanding job cleaning our furnace ducts in San Francisco. They were hard-working, paid attention to detail, and were thoughtful about caring for our home. I would definitely hire Breathable again.
Breathable was a great choice for our recent air duct cleaning. It was incredibly easy to book and pay online. The team, let by Alex, showed up on time, was very careful and thorough and did a great job. The entire process was easy and we received great service. We'll definitely be using them again when needed. I high recommend their services!
Filipe and his crew did a fantastic job cleaning our jigsaw puzzle home today! Our home in SF is over 100 years old, and had been added onto or structurally changed more times than we know - we truly do not know what the original house is versus new rooms. All this to say, the house is a labyrinth and can be tricky…
Felipe and his crew did a great job of cleaning the air ducts and dryer vent. They arrived on time, and as I showed Felipe the location of each duct, his team began laying plastic sheets to protect the flooring. They carefully maneuvered the equipment around the house while they methodically vacuumed each duct.…
Alex and his crew were very thorough. Covered all areas which could get dirty. I had a bad experience with previous duct cleaners only inserted the brush a couple of feet into the ducts and it was considered clean. This team inserted it very far into the ducts and they also dissasembled and cleaned the furnace…
