I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received from Plum HVAC from start to finish. The entire process, from the initial estimate to the final installation, was exceptional. Natalie, the office manager, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the complex and tedious rebate process with her patience and expertise, making what could have been a frustrating experience seamless. The owner's estimate was refreshingly straightforward and honest, with clear communication and reasonable pricing, which was a relief compared to other companies. The installation crew, consisting of Ha, Jake, and Andrew, were wonderful - they arrived on time, worked professionally, and paid close attention to every detail. Ha, in particular, went above and beyond by removing his shoes while working inside, despite my assurance that it was not necessary. After the installation, he took the time to thoroughly explain how to operate the new system and change the filter, ensuring I felt completely confident. The entire Plum HVAC team is friendly, professional, and truly committed to customer satisfaction. If you're looking for reliable HVAC service with a team that genuinely cares, Plum HVAC is the company to choose.
I had an exceptional experience working with Plum HVAC. After my 66-year-old Carrier gas furnace finally retired, I decided to replace it with a Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system. I consulted with four contractors and selected Plum based on their excellent reviews and competitive pricing, and I'm glad I did. From the owner, Sam, to the administrator, Natalie, and the installation crew (Jake, Alex, Andrew, and Ha), everyone was professional, responsive, and pleasant to work with. Sam and Natalie went above and beyond to assist me in filing my HEEHRA application just before the TechClean deadline for Northern California, with Natalie proactively reminding me of the deadline, reviewing my application, and pointing out errors, showcasing their commitment to helping customers save money. Sam was straightforward, responsive, and open to my ideas, such as installing the outdoor unit in the side yard instead of the backyard, which he facilitated. The installation crew was meticulous, professional, and respectful, wearing N95 masks and protective suits when necessary, and thoroughly cleaning the work areas after each day's work. Jake emphasized quality over speed, and it was evident they took pride in their work, even going the extra mile to hide the electrical wiring behind the pipes, maintaining a clean and aesthetic appearance. As a small company with low overhead, Plum HVAC passes the savings on to their clients, making their pricing highly competitive. I'm truly grateful to have found them and would highly recommend their services.
I wholeheartedly recommend Plum HVAC, and if the rating scale allowed, I'd give them seven stars. The installation team was exceptional, not only delivering high-quality work but also going above and beyond the contract by accommodating several custom modifications I requested on-site.
We are very pleased with the service provided by Plum HVAC. Their crew was highly efficient and pleasant to work with, explaining the process throughout the two-day project to remove the existing gas furnace and electric AC unit and install a new heat pump unit in the attic, along with new ducts. Natalie was fantastic in guiding us to qualify for the available rebates by converting to a heat pump system. Any questions or requests are best addressed by email to both Sam and Natalie. Given their exceptional work, I am now trying to convince a family member to use Plum HVAC when their system needs replacement.
I hired Plum HVAC to install a Mitsubishi Multi-Zone Ductless Mini-Split system, and I was incredibly impressed by their professionalism and efficiency. The crew arrived before the scheduled time and waited for my go-ahead to start the job, as I had requested a specific start time. They worked diligently in different areas of the house, and at the end of each day, they ensured that all work areas were fully cleaned up. The job, which was estimated to take 3 days, was completed in just 2.5 days. I was amazed by their speed and the cleanliness of their work. Additionally, Plum HVAC's pricing was very competitive, and they also assisted me in applying for the Clean Tech rebate, which I received quickly. The owner, Sam, was also highly responsive to my text messages. I am very glad I chose Plum HVAC and would highly recommend their services.
