I recently had my chimney cleaned and inspected by Mr Chimney Cleaning. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. Every step, from scheduling the appointment to the actual sweep, was handled in a professional and friendly way. I live in an old three-story home in Oakland, so there were some challenges with accessing the chimney, but Darius made sure everything was done safely and properly. It's great to see a company that truly cares about their customers and goes the extra mile to make sure the job is done right. I highly recommend using their chimney sweep services!

Patrick and Sebastian did an outstanding job! They fit us into their schedule quickly and arrived right on time. Not only did they thoroughly sweep our chimney and provide before and after photos, but they also fixed a cracked roof tile while they were here. They were honest, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend this chimney sweep service and will definitely call them again for future cleanings. 5 stars!

everyone we talked to at the chimney sweep company was great to work with. darius, patrick, and ernest were all really friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to answer our questions. we had our wood-burning fireplace in oakland converted to gas, and they took care of everything, including bringing and installing the new gas log set. the whole job, including service and the log set, cost about $1,500. for the help and smooth process we got, it was definitely worth it. i would highly recommend their chimney sweep and fireplace services.

I had a great experience with Mr Chimney Cleaning. Marvin showed up right on time and explained everything about our fireplace and chimney in a way that was easy to understand. The price was very reasonable for the chimney sweep service. They even took a video inside the chimney to show me what needed attention. Everything was left spotless—there was no mess at all after they finished. I was really impressed with how knowledgeable and thorough Marvin was.

If you need a chimney cleaning, this is the company to call! They were friendly and professional, making it easy to discuss what needed to be done.

Darius made sure the area stayed spotless throughout the job—you couldn't even tell any work was done after they finished. Highly recommend for anyone needing chimney sweep services!

It's a very good place and the worker or Oner is super nice

The staff replaced our aging furnace before winter and made the process easier than I expected. They were on time, covered the work area, and kept me updated as the installation moved along. I had a few questions about filter sizes and how often to service the unit, and they answered them clearly. The new system heats the house more evenly and starts much quieter than the old one. It was a practical, well-managed job, and I came away feeling like the replacement was done with care.

[HVACCOMPANYBRAND] replaced our aging furnace and ac system after we had a few winters of uneven heating and one summer with frequent short cycling. they walked us through seer options, duct sizing concerns, and what would fit our house without overselling. install day was organized, and the crew put down floor protection and cleaned up well. after the replacement, the new system has been quieter and the temperature from room to room is much more consistent. communication before and after the job was steady, and they answered questions in a way that was easy to follow. i would describe the whole process as very professional and well managed.

We had them out for a spring tune-up on our older central air system, and the visit was handled in a very steady, professional way. The technician checked the airflow, cleaned the outdoor unit, and explained what he was seeing without making it sound urgent or dramatic. Our house started cooling more evenly later that day, especially in the back bedroom that usually stays warm. Pricing matched the estimate, and the appointment window was respected. It was a smooth maintenance visit overall and I would feel comfortable using them again for regular HVAC service.

I had a very strong impression of how well these guys handled our full system replacement. From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, everything felt thoughtful and efficient. They helped us compare options without pressure, then installed the new unit neatly and tested every register before leaving. The improvement in comfort was immediate, and our second floor finally feels usable in the afternoon. What stood out most was how consistent the communication was. For a residential HVAC project of this size, they did an excellent job and made the whole experience feel straightforward.

When my HVAC system decided to quit on one of the hottest days this year, I was a bit worried about the repair process. Thankfully, the technician arrived about 45 minutes after my call, and his expertise was evident right away. He quickly diagnosed the issue and had everything running smoothly in no time. The professionalism and efficiency were remarkable, and I'm grateful for the cool air once again. Truly a lifesaver!

The technician arrived promptly within 30 minutes, and his expertise was evident from the start. He thoroughly checked and cleaned our A/C system, ensuring optimal performance. His friendly demeanor and clear explanations made the process seamless. Our cooling system now runs smoothly and efficiently, just in time for warmer days.

After dealing with inconsistent temperatures, I opted for ductless heating and A/C. The installation was seamless, and within an hour, my home felt perfectly comfortable. Highly recommend!

I called once...my call was returned in less than 30 minutes. The questions I had were answered positively....

Thanks

Gerald is great. Very prompt and knowledgeable. Makes good suggestions and diagnosis problems quickly.

Gerald was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. Fixed the issue on the first try with my Lochinvar Knight water boiler. After describing the problem to him over the phone, and with some pictures of the unit that I sent, he came prepared with the necessary spare parts. He replaced those parts and did some additional maintenance, always explaining what was going on along the way. I inherited the system from the previous owner, and his explanations were extremely helpful.

If you have a problem with your radiant heating, call California Plumbing & Radiant Heating!

As a relatively new homeowner inheriting a fairly complex hydronic radiant heat system, I've been looking for a plumbing partner. I'd used two other services in the past and while both charged be a bunch and made minor fixes, neither fixed my problems long term. In Gerald, I've found that partner—he was communicative in scheduling (via text), prompt at our appointment, and quickly diagnosed and fixed my problems. I plan to work with him to install upgrades to the system as well. I'm not sure why he doesn't have many reviews on Google yet, but don't let that deter you, he's an expert and a great person to work with.

The service that California Plumbing & Radiant Heating provides is something that every tradesman and company should strive to be.

I called the number listed on their page and was directly connected to Gerald (the owner I believe) to schedule a service consultation. I've already had two companies come out before to come out for a hydronic heater that seemingly no-one in the bay had knowledge to service. Over the phone, Gerald went over things that could have gone wrong and provided an in-depth analysis and even agreed to come out without a charge if nothing required work.

He arrived ontime, ready to work with equipment and tools in hand and with a courteous and professional attitude. He spent the next 45 minutes diagnosing the air heater and running me through all the things that could go wrong. In the end, he flushed the system and provided an honest opinion that the air handler was working correctly, just that the water heater temperature had to be raised in order to generate hotter air.

Gerald was honest, knowledgeable and provided possible next steps to improving heating performance. He stayed true to his word and did not bill me as nothing needed immediate replacement. (I still tipped to cover his time and gas). Should something go wrong with my heater in the future, California Plumbing & Radiant Heating will be the first people I call!
