Clear ✕All 11 Google reviews tagged “HVAC duct & vent installation”
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…
Juan and his team did a great job replacing my furnace and relocating it to the attic, as well as installing new insulation and ductwork after the asbestos abatement team removed the accessible asbestos. Juan and Nir are friendly and effective communicators, which made the whole process much easier for me. I…
Juan and his team from Breathable provided excellent service for my air-duct system replacement here in San Jose. They were incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, and I was impressed with how they kept my home spotless during the work. The price was very reasonable for the quality…
Nir and the team at breathable did a tremendous job with our project and installation, as well as after service care. We started with an inspection that ended up surfacing some significant issues, including asbestos that was becoming exposed, gaps in the ductwork, and ducts venting straight into wall cavities. We…
A year ago, Breathable did a great job cleaning my home’s air ducts and installing an upgraded furnace filter. What a difference—fresh indoor air! Nir Biderman, the owner, is an excellent communicator before, during, and after projects. He keeps in touch with customers to share relevant information, including the…
We've worked with the Breathable team on a couple of different projects - first installing a new furnace, and cleaning out existing ducts. Most recently we had all the original ducts replaced, and a heat pump installed for A/C. The entire process was so smooth and the techs, Juan and Diego were amazing. Super…
Great service from start to finish! I needed the crawl space cleaned out because of previous rodent activity. I also needed all the vents in the crawl space replaced, which were damaged and torn up due to the activity. I called many HVAC companies to see who can do both jobs in one go. Breathable was one of the few…
My house was dusty for quite some time. I decided to find a professional company to clean our air ducts. We went with Breathable and their Type-X system reset for the main system and Type B for another one in the basement. we had total of 25 vents on the main system and quite a few in the basement. Nico from…
Great company, reliable, honest, and affordable. I really enjoy working with Nir and his team. I worked with them 2 years ago and he remembered me and made me feel like a valued customer. Originally I hired them a couple years ago to deep clean my vents and add a giant filter on my HVAC system. This time it was to…
Our new home wasn’t heating evenly so I called the most highly rated HVAC companies on Yelp to get a consultation. Two came by and quickly recommended that we replace our entire ductwork with brand new ducts, but for entirely different reasons. So I reached out to Breathable for an objective paid duct leakage test.…
I used Breathable to replace all the HVAC ducts and air filtration system in my home. They also meticulously cleaned my furnace. Their team - specifically - Juan, Now and Carlos did an awesome job. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled. They were polite…
