5/11/26 Matt has come for the last 2 years for my annual maintenance for my furnace and water heater. He is knowledgeable and friendly and does great work. I also asked him to fix my toilet when he was here. Cabrillo is not the least expensive plumbers but they are the best and worth the price. 6/20 Frank just…
These people are the best: prompt, courteous, professional, highly skilled. I'll never call another plumber or heating company. Erick, Javier, Frank and David have been superb.
From our initial call through the installation of our Heat pump furnace system, everyone at Cabrillo was thorough, professional, on time and friendly, especially Erick and Javier, who did the actual week-long installation. These two were particularly friendly, professional and great to have around for the week. Now we miss them!
We had an outstanding experience with Cabrillo Heat & Air and Plumbing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They replaced our entire home heating system and added a new filtration system, and the quality of the work was exceptional from start to finish. On the plumbing side, they were absolute lifesavers.…
I have been using Cabrillo for annual water heater maintenance and during a furnace repair ahead of things cooling off explored options for converting to a heat pump. The team recently wrapped up installation of a heat pump at our house in San Francisco. I had a great experience from bidding through scheduling,…
Erick and Javier did Excellent work in the installation of our new furnace. We highly recommend Cabrillo.
Very professional. On time and efficient. Knew what to do.
My wall heater unit wasn't working. I called Cabrillo and they were able to set me up for a technician evaluation in short notice. Robert was on time and very professional. Unfortunately my very old heating unit was irreparable, but Robert was able to quickly order a new unit and returned within a few days to…
Arrived on time. Completed job on time
I appreciate the text updates for arrival times and photos of technicians with background info. Robert arrived exactly on time, scheduled a timely replacement of the 30 yr old wall heater and checked to make sure it was in stock. Cabrillo sends updates and was able to move the install date a week sooner.…
I highly recommend Cabrillo. Frank and team were extremely professional and organized. I was looking to replace my gas furnace with a ductless mini-split heat pump system. My home in SF is complex (like many homes here), and several other installers tried to talk me out of getting a heat pump. Cabrillo is very…
Cabrillo; I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the service your team provided with he installation of a new furnace and water heater. Thank you for sending such a great team; Robert, Matt, Javier, and Gessa. All were very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. A special Thank You to Robert - for all…
Great job done by Frank and Matt. Very professional, quick, and courteous.
This review is regarding an estimate for a furnace replacement/installation (which is a charged service from Cabrillo). At this date in shopping for (a) an electric replacement for my current gas central heater as well as (b) configuring the replacement system to solve existing heating system issues in my older…
My gas furnace broke down in the middle of a kitchen remodel project during a cold spell recently in SF. During the assessment it became clear that my old ductwork for the central air was not up to code and a fire hazard. Given that I opted for a full upgrade to heat pump + AC (I have solar already), new duct work…
Our furnace broke down just after Christmas and the Cabrillo team: Frank, Javier, & Erick, were prompt in their inspection, gave us a fair assessment, and worked quickly over the next week to get the furnace and all the duct work replaced and up to code. We also had them replace the water heater, which they did very…
My ancient furnace recently died; literally went up in smoke. Frank from Cabrillo helped me figure out what I needed, talked me out of some things I didn't need, and solved some other problems he spotted while he was here (like all of our ducting being too small to carry the air needed to heat our house, and not…
Robert was the technician who first diagnosed our heater problem. He was prompt polite and covid safe. He was patient with all of our questions. We decided to have our water heater replaced with our furnace. Robert and Hugo finished the project in the promised time. We had an additional thermostat problem which…
