Best Thermostat Repair in Oakland CA

After purchasing a home that had radiant heated floors in the master bath that was conveniently placed on the sales ad but not working correctly when we closed escrow and moved in.

I called 100 companies and many wouldn't touch the project due to the unknowns in our system.

I lucked out and contacted Innovative Radiant Heating and the representative assured me they would get our system back up and running.

I set an appointment for today and within 1 hour of arrival
my system's panel had been rewired and our bath floors were heating!!!

Thank you to the Innovative Radiant Heating team!!! Your efficient, professional and technical skills are top notch. I would highly recommend this company.

I asked them to give me an estimate for installing a new water heater.

They then sent me a BILL for $125 for giving me an ESTIMATE!  There had been no prior discussion of this -- it just showed up in the mail.

Furthermore, when I called to make the appointment, they were misleading.  I told them that I was replacing a water heater and another plumber had said I'd need  a lot of work on that basement space.  The LM person on the phone said that sounded crazy; of course they wouldn't have to do that.

Their guy came and said the same about the work on the space. So the person on the phone should not have said what she did -- which had convinced me that the 1st plumber was wrong and overpriced. Not so.

Needless to say, I did not hire them  and will not call them again.

Several years ago our kitchen faucet failed.  Albert Naham replaced it with a Grohe.  That faucet failed within a few months, and they then replaced it again.  That second faucet also failed within months, and was once again replaced.  This third faucet then failed after less than two years.  I called Albert Naham on July 3.  Since it was not an emergency, they scheduled me for Friday, July 7, but cancelled right before and rescheduled for Saturday the 8th.  Their technician arrived, and after about an hour declared the fault to be in an interior part that would have to be replaced.  I was charged $119 for the diagnosis.  The technician indicated that the manager would call me the same day to discuss the matter.  No one called.  On the following Tuesday, I called but no one returned the call.  On Wednesday I called again and finally spoke with the manager, Alphonz.  He said he knew nothing about the matter but would speak with the technician and call me back in a few minutes.  He never did.  On Thursday I called twice, but my calls were not returned.  On Friday, out of frustration, I went to Albert Naham's office at 3333 MLK in Berkeley about 11AM.  The door was locked and no one appeared to be there.  It is now Sunday and no one has yet returned my call or given me any satisfaction.  I have used Albert Naham many times over the years and never had a problem.  I am afraid that their business seems to have gone down the toilet.

Great service and didn't try to nickel and dime me as my project was pretty straightforward, pipe repair and kitchen faucet install.   I will call them again if needed.

I thought Rey did a reasonable, if expensive, job on plumbing projects a few years back so I called him when I had two separate heating and plumbing issues.  

Plumbing:   I've hired Rey on three occasions for plumbing work.   He did a reasonably priced job on getting me a new hot water heater a few years back.  Recently, though, it seems like his prices have gone up and the quality has gone down.  I asked him for an *estimate* on replacing a bathroom sink when he was at my house doing a heating repair and he just went ahead and replaced it, left the old one under my house, and charged me $700 (!!).  

Heating:  Rey changed the (newish) thermostat, did some other work, then told me it was fixed.  I checked, and in fact it was not fixed.  He then asked me to leave him payment and I told him (several times) that I would pay him when the heater worked.  He went back, sent me a confusing text about what was wrong, then asked me seven times to pay him in a 24 hour period before I could verify that the heater was, in fact, working.  (Seven times seems like a lot considering that I'm not a new customer and I have a track record of paying him after he does work!).

Anyway,  I (of course) put the check in the mail after the heater worked.  If I seem a little defensive about that, it's because I counted and Rey sent me TEN text messages about getting paid.  And I literally mailed the check the day after the work was done.  Rey seems like a nice guy and I'm sad to write him such a negative review, but he really needs to do the job right, for a reasonable price, make sure it works, then not harass and badger customers.  If he's the only person you can find, I strongly recommend getting an estimate in writing first.

Zachary, the technician was great. He was professional and thorough.

Overall the company had great communication and responsiveness. The support staff was kind and helpful. I would definitely use them again.

I had an older floor furnace that had gone out at my rental property in East Oakland.  My tenant had just moved out and I was in a hurry to get the place ready to rent again. Another company had come out and told me it was too old to be repaired and that the parts couldn't be replaced.  I contacted Supreme. I was in Mexico at the time and explained the situation to Amili Harrison over the phone. He assured me that the faulty gas valve could indeed be replaced. I gave him my credit card information over the phone. Supreme went to my vacant property just as Amili said they would and repaired the gas valve. Presto, the furnace that supposedly couldn't be fixed was working again. I had PG&E come out to inspect the work. The technician said the valve was functioning properly but that a part leading to the diverter also needed to be replaced. I called Amili again and asked him why they had not also replaced that part. They promised to come back out, which they did, and replaced that part as well. It was clear that Amili and his twin brother are extremely knowledgeable about these older furnaces. They agreed to give me a one-year warranty on the work and said they would apply the cost of this $850 repair to a new heating unit down the road once I decide to install a new one. I would definitely recommend them and would hire them again. The only reason I gave four stars and not 5 is that they did not repair both of the faulty parts at once and I did not learn of the second issue until PG&E made their inspection. That said, once I brought it to their attention, they came out straight away and took care of it. I also like the fact that they are a locally-owned Oakland small business.

We had a leak in our basement, discovered on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunate timing. We called maybe 25 plumbers, and Francesco not only returned our call (he was the only one who did), but arrived promptly and completed the job efficiently. He was pleasant, communicative, thorough and professional. We will definitely call him again!

Long overdue, but Mike at Dimond plumbing rocks. The water pressure in my house was too high and the water heater busted :( My house was under warranty, so my insurance paid for the water heater replacement. I was told I needed to install a water regulator to prevent this from happening again...of course, not covered by the insurance. The plumber the insurance sent offered to install one for $400. Seemed steep, so I checked yelp and got a few quotes. Mike at Dimond quoted me over the phone, it was the best price and he sent someone out the same day. I was able to pay over the phone with a credit card. Everything went great. Got home from work that night and everything was all taken care off. Easy peesy :)

***Now, almost a year later, the water pressure seems to have dropped. I called Mike to ask how to increase the pressure. He offered to swing by and do it for me! This guy is awesome. He's officially my plumber.

Don't hesitate calling this guy. Good prices, super reliable, great service, and good reviews, what more could you ask for??

Fast responses, reliable and professional. Highly recommend and will use again in the future!

The furnace in my house is a really old model and it stopped working. I called Pacific Coast Electric, heating and air and got an appointment within 2 hours. The technicians came in time, they are clearly the experts and pinpoint the problem right away and got it fixed! Thank you for the great service!

Excellent and professional service, estimate, and quality products. Thank you for taking on such a large project and competing the job on time.

Bought our first house and had to have the sewer lateral replaced. After shopping around and with a recommendation from our real estate agent, we went with Harry Clark.

Pros:

All very professional in communications. The work was done well as far as I can tell. They contacted the city and did all paperwork and permits for you, which was a nice convenience. They also don't have to dig up as much of your yard as they have a trenchless pipe burtsing technique they employ. That's nice to not have your front yard destroyed. Accepted a credit card, yay points!

Cons:

They are more expensive than many other quotes I got, by quite a lot - but I guess you gotta prefer quality over economy! Also take into account the more advanced trenchless method which leaves your lawn/plants intact.

Sergio from Jazz did a great job servicing our air conditioning unit today. He was competent and thorough . He explains everything clearly and doesn't mine answering questions. He went above and beyond--- my husband had a medical emergency and couldn't move the plants or remove a panel from our air conditioner cover before Sergio arrived ---- Sergio moved everything without complaint.
