This was, hands down, the best contractor experience I have ever had, and in my 70+ years I've had some. The basic project was to take out about 100 feet of asbestos coated ducts installed in the '30s, and put in new, but also better positioned/shaped ducting to make the basement more useable. A different firm was recommended by Chris Tuck to do the removal, but the reinstallation was not at all straightforward. Chris came out and we went over the functional requirements for clearances I was trying to achieve in the basement, a new heat register in one room, and the relocation and resizing of the air return. It resulted in several pieces having to be custom made, and some modified during installation. The result was just amazing. It accomplished much more than I had hoped, and it looks like the professional job it is. It was done on time and for exactly the quoted price in spite of some glitches uncovered along the way. During some waiting times for fabricated parts to arrive onsite, they even re-piped the gas lines to save more space and to be more able to survive an earthquake. A fair amount of junk was uncovered with the old ducts gone, and Atlas was happy to help me drag it out of the crawl space and to haul it away as well. All this was NOT in the contract! The whole crew was friendly and careful to avoid getting dust and dirt all over the house. They were quick to spot additional ways to make more space with some change to the plan. Their experience level was quite high. The guys onsite were easily able to solve all the problems that came up working in an old house. When circumstances suddenly required a different custom part, they would make a sketch, take a photo of it and sent it to the shop. A couple of hours later, the new part arrived onsite. I wish I was that organized! You can tell Atlas is a family business, and they have been around for a long time. We found them not thru Angie's List, but because my father-in-law had used them for decades. I would use Atlas again in a heartbeat, and heartily recommend them.
Description of Work: Replaced all ductwork for our heating system. Relocated the air return. Checked the gas furnace to be sure it was still OK. Hauled away all debris.

I had some HVAC work I wanted done for health and safety following the purchase of a home in Alameda. Atlas sent a tech out initially who saw the job was complicated- which resulted in an estimator visit. After I got the estimate, we scheduled the work at my convenience and they began work. During the job it was discovered that there was some asbestos involved, but no problem - they arranged to take care of the issue (I did have to pay for an additional abatement subcontractor but they arranged everything in order to make it easy on me, which is what counts). The work itself was completed over two separate occasions and the quality was excellent. I would definitely recommend and use Atlas Heating and Air again.
Description of Work: Replaced code-violating plastic vent runs in garage with rigid ductwork; fixed furnace ignition wiring; added proper ventilation to and from furnace.

Full air conditioning and heating system service. It had been over 15 years since both systems had been installed and I wanted to be sure everything was still in working order. After years of performing routine customer maintenance (cleaning the filters) and having missed recommended maintenance checks , I scheduled one for a system servicing appointment for both cooling and heating systems, previously installed by Atlas. James , the Technician, arrived promptly was polite and professional. He got right to work. Checking: coils, motors, amp & volt check, thermostat, safety controls, heat exchange, blower, contractor cap, refrigerant, system pressures & temps, and all electrical connections. In addition he topped off everything, and cleaned and replaced all filters. I appreciated James willingness to answer my questions on both what he was doing as well as what he found . When he was done he put everything back in place, leaving the areas as he found them.

Atlas installed my old furnace about 17 years ago. The furnace and installation were great, so I did not hesitate to have Atlas provide the replacement when it finally gave out. They gave me good information and advice about a high efficiency heater and then made the arrangements quickly, even though it was the busy holiday season. Once again, I appreciated the efficiency and the courtesy of the people who did the work. Really, it was as smooth and painless as it could be. And when the city inspector came to check it out, he told me he was always glad to find that Atlas had done an installation because it was always done properly and he never had to break the bad news to the homeowner that the company they chose had done a bad job. I highly recommend this company.

I have been working with Atlas for 9 years, ever since they installed my heating and air conditioning unit. They come twice a year to do routine maintenance, and the techs are always professional, polite, and very knowledgeable. Today Ian found a small problem that could potentially have caused my A/C to be out of service in the hottest part of the summer due to expensive damage to the compressor. Atlas had the needed part in stock, and Ian will be back later today to install it with no added charge for the second trip. I have had good experiences over the years with both Ian and Eric. I highly recommend Atlas Heating and Air Conditioning.

Excellent service on all occasions - since 1987. Have purchased filters at their location in Oakland for many years (last March noted below when purchased year supply of paper filters so I didn't give price). Their headquarters site is ancient, but the service is first rate so don't let appearance set you back. This company has been around for a very long time which says a lot. They maintained my old furnace very well every year, but eventually it bit the dust. They helped with the decision for replacement and installed new one promptly (that was several years ago). I still have them come out to maintain and inspect, but now just every other year for the newer unit. Ductwork on new installation was done very competently. Prices are reasonable. Service agents are always friendly and work is always done quickly. Equipment installed works well though Aprilaire electronic air filter has had minor problems with breaking plastic "combs" (replacements are very expensive for what you are getting - but that is not an Atlas issue). Used to have Atlas vacuum clean the ducts too, but they discontinued that service. Would do that with them if were available.

It finally gave up the ghost in early Jan 2014. I called my old plumber for a recommendation on a furnace installation service, but his recommendation was for a firm that had a two month lead time!!!! I was going to freeze to death before that so I signed up for Angie's List and found Atlas. Lead time was less than a full week, Mr. Sherman made it on site ASAP to provide the estimate and the work was scheduled very shortly after. Installation was of the highest quality, product selection and suggestions were excellent as well as the scope options I was given. I felt like I was very well taken care of. No issues to speak of since the installation. I look forward to working with Atlas in the future. Professional, friendly, fast, well priced and are good people.

I haven't had any problems since their repair. They are great! Their prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend them because I trust them. I feel really good about their work. They are very accessible, professional, and polite. I have been using them for the last 10 years. I am so grateful to have heard about them because I have had poor experiences with other companies in the past. It was such a relief to find Atlas!

They seemed very efficient, but I don’t know about the quality yet since it was just this morning. The only charge was for the service man. The rest was covered under warranty. We did have to wait several days without heat. It wasn’t that cold out, but our house was only 59-60.

The furnace turned out to have a defective part that proved hard to diagnose. Atlas kept sending repair people to work with it until they had what was the correct hypothesis, then notified the company that made the furnace, and received and installed a new part at no charge. The furnace was from one of the major established companies, and the defect was not the fault of Atlas. Atlas behaved very responsibly about the whole thing, diligently returning without complaint until they got it right. They are also very good about scheduling and carrying out maintenance visits and about responding to calls and fixing small things that go wrong with the original and then the new furnace.
Description of Work: I've used them for 20 years, starting with servicing the existing furnace in my home. Then they installed a new furnace and made yearly visits to check and clean it. A year ago they installed an air conditioning unit.

This is my second review: I interviewed 3 companies and chose Atlas because of the good communication during the interview and inspection of my house. We discussed and determined where vents would be placed. The installation went exactly as explained; there were no surprises.

Everything went well except for the installer who when I mentioned that no heat was coming out of the bathroom, said he would check it out but then sail that there was nothing he could do about it. |We had the new furnace quite a long time ago so I do not remember the dates or the price and would have to spend too much time to find the receipt. We still have no heat in the bathroom but the rest is fine.

Our experience with Atlas was excellent -- after reviewing 3 other options from other contractors, Altas was far and away the best option for us. In the initial estimate meeting, Mike came out to look at our house and meticulously measured upstairs and downstairs for all the duct work and vents that we would need, highlighting numerous things that other potential contractors missed or neglected to include. And as we finalized our scope of work with Atlas, Mike was very honest and upfront with an 80% v. 95% AFUE furnace -- recommending the more affordable 80% option because we use the heat only 20-30 days a year. During the installation, we worked with Eric who was exceptionally patient, knowledgeable, and thorough to ensure the installation was completed efficiently. I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions, and understand everything that contractors are doing, in case there are follow-up issues / maintenance that needs to occur, and Eric was incredibly helpful, patient, and mindful of how important this investment in upgrading our house was to us. Everything was permitted for San Francisco codes, and the inspector commented that the installation work was very high quality and should last for years. Eric was great -- you'll be very lucky to have him as your installer. And to wrap, Mike was exceptionally professional to check in on a following Saturday to ensure everything met our satisfaction and that we understood everything we needed in terms of ongoing maintenance and adjustments. If we ever have to do similar heating / air conditioning work in the future, or to recommend a solution to friends, we wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend Atlas. Great work -- we really appreciate it.
Description of Work: Atlas replaced all duct work, vents, and boots, and installed a 80% AFUE gas furnace -- removing an old gravity furnace that was no longer functional.
