We are a family owned and operated Heating and Air conditioning and solar contractor in the Bay Area for the past 50 years. We specialize in Residential, Commercial, and New Construction installation. We pride ourselves in quality workmanship and fast reliable service at a fair price. We will not price gouge you like the big companies do. Call us for a free estimate, ask for Josh. 925-584-2634

"I found Jim's Air Systems through HomeAdvisor, and Josh was the first contractor to reach out to me personally, not through an automated service. From the start, communication with him was excellent. I provided him with a detailed description of the job, along with model numbers and photos of my existing system. He reviewed everything carefully rather than giving me a quick, generic quote. I received another bid for comparison, but the other contractor was significantly more expensive and wanted to upsell me. It was refreshing that Josh understood I had done my research, knew what I wanted, and didn't pressure me into unnecessary upgrades. Josh's team arrived on time, completed the work as scheduled, obtained the required permit, and left my home as clean as they found it. Overall, a great experience and a solid value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

Albert Nahman Services was founded in 1981 and has been serving Berkeley, CA and it surrounding areas in all their plumbing and HVAC needs. Each of our technicians went through rigorous training so we can guarantee that you will be receiving the proper service. We are also insured and supply a warranty for our parts for five years and up to twenty years on an re-piping or sewer replacement. Call us now to make your appointment!

"My elderly mother needed a new water heater . I gave her the contact info for a great, honest plumber. But due to her dementia, she forgot and ended up having a neighbor call a plumber, they chose Albert Nahman . Two plumbers came out and spoke with her and my 85 year old uncle and they were convinced to hire them at a price of over $6k (which, if you can believe, included the "senior discount"). My mom and uncle are clearly confused and easy to take advantage of, and these guys went above and beyond to take advantage of them, charging 4 times what this job should have cost. I called and spoke to a manager and got a ridiculous story of how complicated this job was, and how they were charged a reasonable price. I took away that this company is corrupt from top to bottom. If you want to be taken advantage of, charged way more than any decent plumber would charge, and then treated like an idiot who doesn't know that they are being cheated, this is the company for you!"

Red Mountain Heating and Air, Inc is dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality and craftsmanship. We are here to build relationships with our customers and communities and to provide our employees with a great place to work. We look forward to working with you!

"I got bids from a *large* number of installers and Red Mountain gave me the best equipment for the price and did a nice job of it despite a few early teething problems that were resolved quickly and competently. But note that the going price in this area for heat pumps is significantly higher than in other areas of the country - regardless of which installer I let bid on my home. In my opinion, given energy price trends, the environmental impact of heating with gas, and having existing solar power on my home, the benefits of a heat pump outweighs the high price in this area, but YMMV. Think thru your position re: BayREN rebates and the recent federal Inflation Reduction Act rebates carefully to make sure you qualify."

"My AC stopped working last November, and since then i had 4 contractors i called to fix it, i was turned down by everyone. i called Tyndall and peter came out and talked about it with me, actually troubleshot it, and 2 days later had parts and fixed it. i would give them 6 stars if i could. im so glad to have my ac running again. my recommendation, if you want something done, call Tyndall, because the rest of the contractors seem to just say its not fixable and leave without even looking at it. these guys were the first people that listened, then looked at the unit before declining service, and then actually fixed it. 10/10 great job and thank you."
