Breathable for HVAC system maintenance
Clear ✕All 35 Google reviews tagged “HVAC system maintenance”
Had Breathable come out to our home in the Fruitvale District for a Type-X system reset — advanced cleaning plus the Breathable Intake upgrade — and I have to say, Juan and his crew were very efficient, each one performing assigned task diligently. I appreciated how careful they were about protecting the wooden…
Felipe and his team from Breathable did a thorough, excellent job on our air duct cleaning here in Berkeley. Honestly, our ducts hadn't been cleaned in a long time and were well overdue — there was a lot of work to be done. Felipe communicated really well throughout the whole process, keeping us informed at every…
I've been using Breathable for my HVAC needs for a while now, and they never disappoint. The crew arrived exactly as scheduled, and I really appreciated that they took off their shoes and put on disposable slippers before coming inside — that kind of consideration for your home goes a long way. They were there for a…
We had a great experience with Breathable, and I especially want to give a shoutout to Juan and his crew for the outstanding job they did! We had their Type-X System Reset done, along with the Breathable Intake upgrade, dryer vent cleaning, bathroom exhaust fan cleaning, and AC evaporator coil cleaning. Juan and…
Good communication and efficient and thorough service.
I've used Breathable twice now for duct cleaning and both times they've delivered the same level of service — fast, thorough, and completely self-sufficient. The team comes in, gets to work, and handles everything. They're both efficient and responsible. This is the kind of service you want to be able to count on,…
My service technician, Juan, was very knowledgeable and already knew exactly what to check for in my neighborhood, as he had serviced homes in the area before. As a new homeowner, I really appreciated that he took the time to give me a tour of my HVAC system and answered all of my questions. More than 20 gallons of…
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!
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…
We recently had Breathable come out to our home in Orinda for furnace and AC duct cleaning along with a new filter installation, and the service was great. Filipe was very friendly throughout the process, and both workers were careful while working hard to get the job done right. The communication from Nir, who…
Alex and his crew from Breathable were absolutely awesome when they came out to our home in Danville. The guys did a duct cleaning and fixed the air flow in two of our rooms, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They were incredibly efficient, professional, and arrived right on time as promised. The HVAC…
Alex and his crew from Breathable did an excellent job with our air duct cleaning service here in Los Altos. They arrived right on time and immediately got to work, which I really appreciated. What impressed me most was their professionalism and how efficiently they handled the entire process. They took great care…
Great effort! The crew did more than I anticipated. They found some issues with the sealing of my outlets and corrected it. Above and beyond!
Alex and his team of three were incredibly professional during our air duct cleaning service here in San Jose. What impressed me most was how tidy and careful they were throughout the entire process - they laid down plastic sheeting to protect our floors and placed HEPA filters over all the vents before starting…
I had an excellent experience with Breathable for comprehensive duct cleaning at my San Francisco home. The technician Alex and his helper arrived right on time and tackled a substantial job - cleaning 2 furnace systems including supply ducts and 10 heat registers, 6 exhaust fans that required complete disassembly…
Extremely happy with the HVAC service I received from Breathable. Noe performed preventative maintenance on my dual fuel furnace and mini split system. He was friendly, professional and super knowledgeable, answering all my questions and even educating me on some heat pump functions that the installing company said…
Felipe & his crew were prompt, thorough & courteous
Felipe and crew just finished our HVAC and dryer cleaning. They were on time, professional, and did an amazing job! We can already tell what a difference they made. I cannot recommend Breathable enough!
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!
Very satisfied with our air duct cleaning service, which was carried out as scheduled and professionally by Felipe and team. We especially appreciated their attention to protecting floors and furniture.
Alex and the team from Breathable did a spectacular job with air duct deep clean in our San Mateo home. It's an OLD house with an OLD furnace and they went above and beyond to not only clean all of our duct work, but they also helped troubleshoot an electrical problem with the furnace to make sure it would turn on.…
Hi hired Alex and his crew for heater duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning also. They arrived on time , professional, thorough, explained well the work they were doing, experienced, soft spoken and knowledgeable. Cleaned afterwards. Priced well. Appointment and communication with staff was great. Highly recommended…
We found Breathable while preparing to have our furnace ducts cleaned prior to turning on the furnace this year, between traffic and construction dust and general particulate matter in the air. We were very pleased to be able to get an appointment within days, and Nir directed us to great informational videos on…
Felipe and his team arrived as scheduled. They were professional and respectful of property. They were very skilled and efficient in their work. They coordinated their efforts and demonstrated exemplary attention to detail. I believe the fees represented a very good value for the services performed. Highly recommended!!
Felipe and team at Breathable did an outstanding job cleaning and repairing my ducts. They were thorough, kind and professional. Recommend!
Juan and his team were awesome. On time, and protected all our stuff while doing the duct cleaning service and clothes dryer duct cleaning. This is the second time using Breathable and it's a real treat to walk in your home smelling fresh and clean, and seeing no more dust in your ducts! Be healthy!
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…
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…
Great and thorough service at competitive price. I had issue with my HVAC vent system and Breathable showed great care of details, investigating the problems and finally fixing it (where other contractors failed).
Nir and team are great! We had them over a number of years back and I forgot how much we enjoyed the improvement in air quality after the reset. Their services have expanded since they last serviced our home and we were able to make some major improvements that will benefit us as long as we're here. Specifically we…
The Breathable team gets 5 stars + for all around great service. Specifically: 1. Scheduling: I sent a generic request for air-duct cleaning via Yelp to several companies. Breathable was the first to reply and provided a detailed quote with clear pricing. They were not the least expensive but were the most…
Based on the excellent reviews online about Breathable, I decided to go with them for my HVAC cleaning service. And they did not disappoint. The service by the cleaning team was very professional and thorough. They were in and out in about 5 hours (this was a duplex). What was just as amazing was the friendly and…
This company did an outstanding job. The office was very responsive on the scheduling side, and very helpful and clear with the various options. The crew was prompt, courteous, and on task. They did an outstanding job, and we will definitely use them again.
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…
