I could not have asked for a better experience. Ricardo and team was incredibly helpful form the moment I called him. He has been in this business for 40+ years and you can tell. He knows his stuff and knew the problem of my wall heater just by me describing it on the phone. Regardless, Ricardo came to take a look at my wall heater and recognized the issue. I also had a very unique circumstance to deal with and he adapted to my needs in a kind and thoughtful way. My wall heater was fixed in less than an hour replacing my old thermostat. Do yourself a favor and dont think about this one.

Ricardo and his team was wonderful. I reached out to Ricardo early June to get a quote for installing a mini-split AC unit for our master suite and he responded within 2 hours. Got everything coordinated and he came out to do an estimate at his first availability. During his visit, you can tell that Ricardo has done this a long time. Super professional and thorough. Knew exactly what he was talking about and didn't oversell. Gave me multiple options to choose from. I got the quote from him the next business day and we were able to agree on a unit and price. His team came out three days after

Ricardo did what no other HVAC place was willing to do: Work with my HOA until they were willing to allow us to install central a/c. The time-consuming, iterative process of making the HOA happy was gracefully and efficiently managed by Ricardo's amazing office manager Cristina.
Yesterday I used my a/c for the first time, and it got my place cold! I have a very high ceiling on the third floor, so I worried that the a/c wouldn't work there, but it got plenty cold.
Ricardo and his team of installers are true professionals. They knocked out this major installation in two straight days

Ricardo and his crew are just terrific! Ricardo (the owner) really understands heating and air conditioning. He is totally involved from evaluating your current HVAC system, formulating a list of options and making recommendations based on your needs and budget. He has talented craftspeople who are professional, courteous and punctual. They work safely and keep a clean workplace. You can depend on Bayhill to show up on time, finish the work properly and on time.

Ricardo, the owner, is very knowledgeable and willing to educate you on the complexities of the HVAC system if you're interested. He's responsive, honest, and does great work. His crew was quick, kind, clean, and Covid responsible. We are grateful for our new furnace after being without heat for several weeks and we are also grateful we worked with Ricardo and his team. You're in good hands with Bayhill.

I can highly recommend this long established local business. Ricardo Valderrama not only owns the business, he also performs work in customers' homes and businesses. The person who takes the calls and schedules the jobs is very professional and really worked to get my furnace fixed asap on a cold, rainy day. Although I was scheduled for tomorrow, Mr. Valderrama called at 4:30 because he finished another job early and came on over. We will have heat tonight and I am very grateful for that extra effort. He has owned this business for 40 years and it is obvious why the company is still in business

The A/C in our relatively brand new town-home stopped working and I called up Bayhill to diagnose the problem. Ricardo responded immediately and you can tell right away he has many years of experience with A/C systems. We had a leak somewhere in our system and while he had a good idea of what the problem was, he walked me through all the possibilities to eliminate any surprises and was very patient with all my questions. He performed a pressure test to determine where the leak was and for good measure, did a second pressure test to confirm his original diagnosis (like my construction-worker

When entering my attic for another purpose, I discovered water in the pan below my second story furnace and evaporator AC coil.
I called the contractor I had previously used for my downstairs furnace in my roughly 12 year old home. He sent a very junior person to investigate and, after exchanging picture texts with the boss, said that I needed a new furnace and coil and that it would require significant new framing work in the attic to provide the required clearance for the new equipment.

Ricardo tried to tell us that our 2 year old house that was built to code need $25,000 worth of HVAC services and "good luck finding some who would take on this job" other than him.
He was so cocky walking in and thought he knew everything.
Luckily, we found 4 other companies willing to "take on this job" at a 1/8 of the price.
What horrible service!

December 2017 Ricardo Valderrama, Owner of Bayhill & Air came to give us a quote. He's a pleasant man and charged a fair price so this is not an easy review to give.
I am permanently handicapped and realized we were off to a bad start when He replaced our old thermostat but failed to connect the wires and the heater wouldn't start. Me and my young children spent a very cold night (40 degrees) without heat.
I asked Mr. Valderrama about attic insulation. He inspected the attic and told me it wasn't needed. Later, PG&E determined insulation was very inadequate.

We have been using Bayhill Heat & Air several times since 2010: For furnace, water heater, central air conditioning (global warming, after all!). Always we have had excellent, prompt service.
This past week we had a problem with our water heater: no hot water! And we could not understand why. So we called our trusty Ricardo Valderrama, and he arrived within just a few hours to check out our problem. To our pleasure, there was nothing wrong with our water heater, but the pilot light had gone out. So Ricardo showed us how to test it out ourselves and get it going in the future.

Bayhill Heating and Air came highly recommended to us. We are thrilled that we called them and had our new furnace and air conditioner installed by them. Ricardo is honest, professional, helpful, and along with him, his workers are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. They were all always prompt, polite, respectful and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. It was a pleasure to have Ricardo and crew in our home. We would never hesitate to recommend them, and would never look any further then to call Bayhill Heating and Air for any of our HVAC needs.

We called Bayhill after being less than impressed with the first company that we called. Ricardo came to our house to look at our furnace the same day we called.
He recommended replacement, which we were expecting, but he provided a thorough explanation of what was wrong and why repair wasn't an option.
He gave us a detailed proposal that identified the parts, their cost and associated labor. Note that the first company we called (one of those with a half page ad in the yellow pages) gave us an estimate on the back of a business card with no details at all. Ricardo's proposal was also

I called Bayhill again on Monday (day before the appointment) and had to explain our situation again. This time, they told me they had to reschedule. I already had blocked out my schedule for Tuesday. Ricardo called me back again with a "quote" of about $750 for the work that they didn't even come by to diagnose yet.

In short - they did a terrible job installing the unit with regard to the electrical. Then when I called him back to fix the problem he said he cannot fix it because he's not an electrician.
The details:
Bayhill Heat and Air is the company that installed my A/C before I bought the house. The company sticker was on the A/C. So when the A/C stopped working I eventually called the guy. He remembered my house. He came over and told me that it's an electrical problem, and he's not an electrician therefore cannot fix it. So he still charged me, because he came out to my house.

The short: Good service, good manners, good communication, but did not complete work in estimated time.
I'd like to specifically name Benny who was the lead contractor on the job. Throughout the whole install of the forced air furnace and duct install, he was friendly, polite, good spirited, busting his butt, and taking care of his guys. He made me feel comfortable having him and his crew in my house all the time.
During the install, the crew took care to not damage my stuff, covered floors and furniture when necessary, and asked for permission when needed. They know it's not
