About us
Many service companies sound alike. So HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Cold Craft has been awarded the Quality Circle of Excellence from NATE the gold standard in HVACR technician testing, so you know that the work will be done right and Cold Craft is also DIAMOND CERTIFIED so you know you will be treated right. "WE STAND BEHIND OUR WORK" is easy to say BUT HERE IS PROOF: Cold Craft has unheard of guarantees, like the NO LEMON GUARANTEE and the 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE if we cannot make the customer happy. Now Cold Craft realizes that ANY COMPANY CAN STATE THAT GUARANTEE, BUT DO THEY HONOR IT? Well, Cold Craft WILL AND THEY HAVE HONORED IT. In 2012 Cold Craft had a customer that just wasn't happy with the installation no matter what was done. The part of the installation they originally agreed to but later objected to, was to remove water from the unit and if that part was removed it would cause water damage to their home. AFTER ALL EFFORTS TO WORK AROUND THIS ISSUE FOR OUR CUSTOMER, BOTH PARTIES AGREED THAT THE 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE WAS THE BEST OPTION. Our customer had all the money refunded for the installation and they were free to choose the contractor of their choice. THIS IS NOT THE PREFERRED SOLUTION, our customer lost time (but was happy with the refund solution) and Cold Craft LOST MONEY AND TIME ON THAT JOB, but with Cold Craft, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION is paramount. Founded in 1991, our founder still teaches HVACR to new students at San Jose City College and it is one way we stay on top of changes in the industry and there have been many changes over just the past couple of years. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE OUR CUSTOMERS SO HAPPY THAT THEY REMEMBER US AND THEY TELL OTHERS WHEN THEY ARE HAVING A HEATING OR AIR CONDITIONING NEED.

Description of Work: They gave me a bid that came to about $50,000 altogether for a geothermal heating and cooling system for a 2300 s.f. house. The man that came out was very professional and we got a full report, which was really a bid for a contract to replace my home heating system with a Geothermal system. I don't think there should have been a charge for this.

Response from Cold Craft Inc Heating and Air
Thank you for your review. It is important to Cold Craft that we understand our customer's point of view. I see where we fell short and that was on explaining what happens behind the scene with the geothermal consultation, there is a lot of work that our customer doesn't see. We have improved on explaining this to our customer so there is an understanding of what they are getting with the geothermal consultation. About the geothermal quote, yes, geothermal is not for everyone. The drilling in California is what is making the cost higher than other areas. As geothermal installations increase more drillers will move into the area and the pricing will go down. We have a couple of customers that did not want to use the loops in the ground but rather use an existing pool or install a pool and use that for the heat sink. If this sounds appealing to you - please let us know we can back out the drilling on your quote.

Description of Work: Hot air gas fired furnace was not performing up to our expectations and needs. Called Cold Craft on the 5th and had an opening on the 6 th but we could not be available. Then the person on the phone as where we lived. She then offered to call another in our city to see if they could delay their service to allow us to be served. In shock that " real service" still existed, I , of course, said OK. Some 25 minutes later she called back to tell me that she did not want me to worry but thr other customer was going to call back. What, is this real? YES,YES. the service person,Staci, was on time, covered her shoes and asked me to describe my issues. She came to work and went right to it. She asked questions, she EXPLAINEDwhat she was doing and what d DATA she had to support her conclusions. She told me what immediate actions was warranted and what I might due in the spring when a major job could be undertaken.WOW in all my years, I have encountered such a pro and knowledgable appliance techni

Thanks for your review! We aim to please, but we don't always have a customer that can change their schedule - I am so happy this worked out for you. We are not the low priced contractor but we go above and beyond and we do a great job. When it comes to combustion and carbon monoxide appliances, you really need someone that knows what they are doing. HVAC professionals are a plumber, electrician and an HVAC technician/installer rolled into one guy. So we try to keep our employees happy to make sure they keep you happy.

Description of Work: Cold Craft Company's tech person called Charlie Dyk who came to check our furnace on March 6. 2013. After he checked the furnace and said that it is too old and dangerous to be updated a new one. Then, he turned off the furnace and borrowed 2 space heater. Later the sales person Lisa Raby quoted me via email. Since the house is covered by Home Warranty, I requested the service and the furnace was checked from mechanical company on 3/9/13. During the period the company said that the space heater needed to be return if we had decided not to buy a new furnace from their company. The sales woman asked us to return heaters by Friday on 3/8/13;otherwise, they will charge us. The weather is still cold at night and need the heaters. I requested to return them after inspection. They accepted to be returned by 3/12/13. After mechanical person checked, the furnace return to normal function. I asked them to refund it since they did not do any turn up and do evaluate only to replace a new furnace. They use this trick to ask householder to buy a new furnace.

There are two things that Cold Craft, Inc. focuses on, safety and reputation. We have NATE Certified technicians and we are Diamond Certified. We were so surprised to read this review. According to a third party homeenergycenter.com/8furnace_signs.html ‘8 furnace warning signs’. The first warning sign on the link above is the age of the furnace, in this case this furnace was in excess of 20 years. We do not shut off furnaces merely because of the age of the unit, because the condition is a much bigger safety indicator. Upon inspection we saw rust inside and outside of the furnace and pitting on the heat exchanger that we identified with a scope and we showed the customer the pits in the heat exchanger. The technician noted, ” Found heat exchanger very rusty and has divot marks. Potentially very dangerous situation”. The reason the heat exchanger is so important is because this is where the combustion gasses reside (we are talking about colorless odorless sometimes deadly carbon monoxide in these gasses). When the exchanger is breached the residents start to breathe these gasses. Cold Craft, Inc. did the responsible thing by advising to replace the furnace, it is risky to leave that furnace operational in its current condition. We attempted to assist this customer with temporary heating (not many heating companies do this but it is a service that we offer to customers when we are awaiting the equipment to install so they may stay comfortable and in their homes). When she decided to keep her furnace we requested the return of the space heaters because we had other customers that did not have heat. Frankly, it does not matter if we replace the furnace or not, but that it is replaced. Cold Craft provides honest opinions about the condition of heating and cooling systems. If you are curious about your equipment, call Cold Craft and we will show you the visible portion of your heat exchanger with a scope.

Description of Work: The week before Thanksgiving and all the relatives are flying in from Ohio or driving down from Portland, Oregon. The house is decorated and ready to go, when we realize the heater isn't working. PG+E says they can come out to check our system around December 11th which will not save us from an embarrassing, not to mention chilly holiday. Based on previous good reports on Angie's List I called Cold Craft. They were very receptive and appreciated my problem. The next day they showed up promptly at the assigned time. The technician quickly identified the problem and made the necessary repairs to get our heater running again. He was polite and knew just what to do. He also gave us some good advice for ongoing maintenance that will keep our system safe and effective.

As soon as Member's concerns came to my attention we spoke and I learned that we had a big misunderstanding. We gave Member a credit for the work that we did do and called it even. He removed a Yelp review but maybe he hasn't had a chance to remove this one yet.

Called for an estimate to upgrade to central heat and A/C. Spoke to Raul (sp?). He took some information, said he would talk to the owner, since the owner likes to come out with the salesperson on these kinds of bids. He was supposed to call me back the following week to schedule an appointment after he spoke with the owner. I never heard back from anyone. Now, approximately six weeks later, I am going to give my $11,000 worth of business to another company.

On time, professional and got the job done. Also gave me a tutorial on how to work the thermostat.
Description of Work: I had a new thermostat that wasn't working correctly. After contacting the maker, they suggested a contractor come out and take a look at it. A rep from Cold Craft came out and solved the problem within an hour by doing a bit of rewiring. He also answered some other questions I had on the heating system that I had.
