watch out - they charge a service fee for quotes
Description of Work: I was very disappointed to learn only after the visit that there is a service fee charged for quotes of work not yet performed. The service fee even includes drive time. The communication around this fee was terrible

Great! Technician arrived in the given time window. He was friendly and professional. He answered all of my questions and I didn't feel like he was trying to up-sell me on anything I didn't need. Performed system check as agreed upon.

I chose them because they had the best quote, but were still professional. They arrived on time, were very professional, cleaning up well after each day's work. Turns out the air didn't work. We discovered this on a Sunday. They came over within a few hours and fixed the problem immediately. No issues since.

Great experience from start to finish! Sam came to the house and inspected the area and gave us all the options for what we would need, no pressure just a friendly conversation. Installation went great and we now have a warm house again. They honored the deal that was provided on Angie's list so we also had the work done for a great price. Would definitely use their services again for other house projects.

I called to have someone come out for an estimate. After multiple times on hold, I was finally told that no one could come give me an estimate for an entire month. What a joke. This company doesn’t deserve the service award that it holds. I’m going to use another company.

Response from Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar
Dear [Member Name Removed], We are very sorry for the inconvenience. There was a heatwave this past weekend as you may know, so we have had a longer wait period for scheduling this week. And yes, we are definitely booked a few weeks out. Honestly, we are the largest company in the south bay with double the number of estimators of anyone else. I wish we could add more, but there is only so much we can handle. We want you to be happy and also know that your business is important to all of us! I am happy to work on the schedule to get you something sooner, if you would like. Please call me at 408-294-6290 and I am happy to do that. I realize it is frustrating, and I want to help. We received our rating, because we provide quality work, and we are worth the wait. Sincerely, Cindy Faulkner, President, Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar.

Valley Heating was courteous and professional at all times. They kept their promises and met their installation date. Because they were backlogged with heater repairs, they loaned us without charge an electric space heater for the interim. I wasn't satisfied with the exposed fiberglass batting applied to the base of the furnace. The crew told me that it was not routine to wrap the fiberglass. But Valley agreed to send a technician to wrap it later at no charge. They did so and now I'm a satisfied customer. My only complaint is that both the furnace and the AC rated at the low end of the efficiency scale, despite costing almost $9,000. Fortunately, the weather in Sunnyvale is mild so paying more for greater efficiency did not make sense.
Description of Work: We had our old heater and central air conditioning unit replaced. Our house is about 1500 sq. feet.

From the first point of contact, Valley Heating was a pleasure to deal with. Zac came by take the initial look for the estimate and was so friendly, helpful, and professional. Once we received the estimate, I was blown away by how professional and organized the company was - the matrix of options, the fast and clear communication, the scheduling - it was all so unlike the other contractors I'd been dealing with through my renovation. Once the job started, I continued to be pleased. Eugene (Gene) led the crew and did a fantastic job over the 5 days they were at our house. The work was precise, clean, accurate, and on time and they delivered exactly what they said they would. Just like Zac, the crew was a pleasure to deal with. They kept our house amazingly clean even during a rainy day and having to deal with our dirt floor basement. I have a solid understanding of how everything works and couldn't be happier. This is hands down the best contractor I've ever dealt with and I plan to use them again for electrical work and make many recommendations.
Description of Work: We recently bought a house in Sunnyvale that was built in 1936 and needed to install a full HVAC system and a new hot water heater.

We exchanged some e-mails to get an idea of what I wanted done. Sal came first to provide a quote because I was looking at having several things done and wanted pricing before I decided what and when. He came back later and added two plugs. I plan to have him install an electric car charger at a later date.
Description of Work: Sal added a couple plugs.

I made an appointment and the lady said the tech would come next day between noon and four, most likely nearer noon and the tech would call thirty minutes before arrival. I had not heard by 3:45 so phoned the company who tracked down the tech and found him in San Carlos and said he would come soon. He phoned about 4:30 and showed up at 5 after I waited all afternoon. He fixed all and changed the batteries in my thermostat and showed me how. I paid him with credit card but he had no paperwork and I asked him for some and he said they would send some. It didn't come so I had to phone and it arrived eleven days after I paid him and I had to persuade the office to send paper.

It went well. The repairman arrived on time (actually early, he called in advance to see if he could arrive an hour early), and tried to swap the switches I wanted changed with the ones I provided. Those were not always compatible with the older setup I have at my place, and out of the 3 that I wanted swapped, 2 were successfully installed, and we had to go back to the older model for the 3rd one.
