What Bay Area homeowners say
The installation team was great!
The installation team was great -- they worked through the old-house issues and managed to route the line neatly into the attic for the ceiling cassette. We worked with the designer to create a 4-zone system that is perfectly sized for our space.
Chris Habecker
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.
