What Bay Area homeowners say
Electric Air was absolutely incredible!
Every employee was knowledgeable about the products offered and how they would effectively replace our gas heaters. Electric Air worked quickly to schedule the installation and were even able to move up the installation to accommodate our schedule.
Joseph E Gruber
Quieter than I expected
Electric Air replaced an old gas furnace with a heat pump. Found good placement for the heat pump and rearranged the ducting to significantly reduce the footprint. Roman and Michael did a great job, neat and tidy.
Jean-Louis Excoffier
These guys are commercial grade crew!
My wife handles hundreds of thousands of square feet for work, and her comment about electric air was, "These guys are commercial grade crew; professional, courteous, clean, quick and efficient." I can't think of higher praise!
