Associated Heating of San Francisco

**Review of Associated Heating of San Francisco** I recently replaced my 105-year-old furnace and chose Associated Heating of San Francisco. I’m really happy with my decision! This family-owned local business stood out among five companies I contacted. Rich, the owner, represents the second generation of his family in the company, showing their commitment to the community. Their prices are fair, and the service is exceptional. From my first contact with Andrea in the office to the friendly, skilled technicians who installed the furnace, everyone was great. Rich and his team truly care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Associated Heating of San Francisco for furnace installation or service. We love our new furnace and expect it to last for many years. Thank you, Associated Heating, for a fantastic job! Donny

Every once in awhile, you work with a company that truly goes above and beyond. When that does happen, I want to share because I know trying to find a company to do the work you need done is not always easy as it relates to reputation, pricing and good solid work. For anyone looking for a trustworthy HVAC company, I HIGHLY recommend Associated Heating. They came highly recommended by a friend and they did not disappoint. The owner has been in the business for all of his life since his Dad was also in the business and he got to tag along with his Dad since he was 13 years old. Associated Heating helped us with a very complicated job. The crew was polite and communicated every step of the way and answered any questions we had. They also cared enough to cover all the flooring and furniture where needed, prior to starting the work. The owner is a pleasure to work with and always picked up the phone when we called. They do top notch work and nothing less. They cover San Francisco and all of San Mateo County.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience with Associated Heating! When we bought our home in the Sunset District, one of the first big projects we tackled was removing the old gravity furnace and installing a new heat pump system. After researching our options, we chose Associated Heating, and we are so glad we did. From start to finish, they were completely professional, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Rich, the owner, came out personally for the initial walk-through and estimate. He was courteous, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough — he took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel confident in our decision. Andrea in the office was always available, responsive, and helpful. On the rare occasion she didn’t have an immediate answer, she made sure Rich followed up with us directly. Their level of communication and customer care is exceptional. The installation itself was smooth and impressively coordinated — especially considering that two other contractors were working in the same space at the time. The Associated Heating team worked efficiently and respectfully, and it was clear they had deep experience managing complex jobs. One suggestion they made — installing the heat pump compressor on the roof — turned out to be a huge win. It freed up our backyard space completely, and we didn’t think twice about it until a neighbor mentioned they were feeling vibrations through their home (houses are attached in our neighborhood). Even though Associated Heating assured us this was very rare, they responded immediately. A technician came out the same day, diagnosed the issue, and the team returned with insulating parts to fix it — a tough job since the unit was already installed. But they completed everything in one day, and now the system is whisper-quiet. Best of all? They didn’t charge us a penny for the parts or labor. That kind of integrity and follow-through is rare, and speaks volumes about why they’ve been in business for decades. The system itself works amazingly well. The heating and cooling are efficient and even throughout the house. We paired the install with a few solar panels (huge thanks to Save-a-Lot Solar as well — excellent job, great price), and now our AC is fully solar-powered during the day, and our batteries almost cover heating overnight — especially during warmer months. If you're in the Sunset neighborhood (or anywhere in SF, really) and considering a heat pump, do it — and go with Associated Heating. These are skilled, honest people who stand by their work and treat you with real care and respect. We’re grateful every day for the advice, service, and quality they delivered. Highly recommend without reservation!

I hired Associated Heating to replace the heating system in our house this fall. They replaced our old heater that died with a new high efficiency forced air Carrier unit and had to replace all the old ducting and venting as well. It was not an easy job and required working with our GC to make room for them to work. Associated Heating is super professional and they delivered on time and on budget and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them!

Associated heating installed our furnace 27 years ago. It was working perfectly but we wanted to replace it as it was well past its end of life date. Rich came out and recommended a great furnace: quiet, fast, super efficient. We also asked them to install two mini splits. End of story: all was installed on time, on budget, no drama. In addition, the installation team were super professional and nice guys. Highly recommended.

Unreliable and unprofessional … at least to work with architects and other professionals! all the "I m so sorry and apologies are useless if you lose valuable time on the construction site!

This is a long overdue post. Associated Heating came to replace 2 20+ year old furnaces in my home a few months ago. Rich and his team were extremely professional throughout the process. They took time to assess my setup and provide an efficient heating solution that combined 2 furnaces into a dual zone heating system that was both more efficient and more effective. All the work was done as originally quoted and communication was excellent from beginning to end. I will never go anywhere else for my HVAC needs!
