Best Solar Water Heater Repair in San Jose CA

Although I had some trouble understanding the receptionists who were trying to help me get my appointment scheduled, Alex, the technician, was great: friendly, professional, knew what he was doing, and didn't rush through the job. If you hire Fuse to do work for you, request Alex! Great guy!

Andrew was responsive and responsible. His team did quality work for me. The EMP combination allowed consistency and accountability across the whole project. Thank you

We can't say enough good things about Gustavo. We had an issue with a bathroom light not working. It was a small job, yet Gustavo was willing to help us out with it.

Gustavo was prompt, pleasant and professional. We were also impressed by how well-prepared he was and how respectful he was with regard to our home, taking care not to dirty or scratch anything.

Now the issue is resolved, thanks to Gustavo (and for a very modest amount). The world needs more people like Gustavo!

Happy doesn't begin to express how much gratitude I have for Norman and his services. Having had my own residential real estate business in the San Francisco Bay Area for nineteen years I've worked with and vetted hundreds of trades and service people. Great (not just good) handy people are the most difficult to find.

Norman helps me and my clients get so many things around the home dialed in for my listings and for so many of my family,  friends, and clients.

Norman has done so many varied repair items (too many to list) all to great satisfaction. He is honest, trustworthy, careful, considerate, and very knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond to ensure your happiness and satisfaction with each and every job.

Norman Raverty....your San Mateo Handyman....truly impressive in every way.

I have a 25 year old dual Carrier HVAC system that was installed as a new build in my house.  Although fairly old, it probably is not as worn as the years would suggest as I've avoided using the AC most summers as Fremont is generally not super hot and cools down in the afternoons.  Now with climate change and the fact that I work from home, i'm using the units more often and longer.  My downstairs unit simply did not provide cool air at all and the upstairs unit was working but the air working but seemed to struggle to keep up with the afternoon heating in the house.

I sent a Yelp request to local HVAC service & repair with a description of the problems and John W. of Fuse was the first to reply within an hour or so.  I went ahead and make an appointment for 5 days later which was the earliest they could accomodate.  This was during the bay area heat and wild fire spell during August.  I did get a few other replies to my Yelp request, but they could not do a service appointment any earlier, so I kept the appointment with Fuse.

Oleg was the technician from Fuse that came out.  First of all, they did initially explain that the service diagnostic visit would cost $110, which would be deducted from any actual service fee if I had them do any actual repair/maintenance work.  This fee seemed reasonable.  Other companies charge less or more, but to me the most important issue is getting someone who is both experienced and honest.  I have dealt with less experienced technicians in the past and it's not worth the time or hassle to save a few bucks and get a bad or less than honest diagnosis.

Oleg arrived right within the scheduled time window and went right to work.  I described the issue and he hooked up his diagnostic pressure setup to check the refrigerant levels in my ground floor system.  Sure enough, it was empty.  He recharged the system and patiently answered all of my questions.  Once done, he told me the temp differential specs of what my system should provide and we went into the house to measure the temp of the air coming from the system.  Using his laser temp probe, he showed me that the system was now providing a 20 degreeF temp difference between inlet and outlet air.  Oleg also did a diagnostic on my 2nd floor unit and after some work, it was also providing a 20 degreeF difference, much better than previously.

I can't really say if the actual fees charged by Fuse are more or less than their competitors in the area, but I can say that I am happy to have my old system brought back to life and performing well.  The whole service visit took about 3 hours and Oleg also answered all my technical questions and gave me advice if I decide to replace/upgrade the system in the future.

I will definitely contact Fuse in the future for HVAC maintenance and repair quotes.

I called for maintenance on my HVAC system and received an incredibly quick response along with an appointment same day within 2 hrs of me contacting them. I will say, I was concerned and skeptical to have a company service the HVAC system with no reviews on yelp but given the impending heat wave I decided to give east bay HVAC a try. And I am so glad that I did. Max was the technician that came out and he also happens to be the new owner of this franchise of Fuze and just beginning to build his client base. He spent 2 hours inspecting/testing all aspects of the system and educating me on the issues he identified. He clearly knows his craft very well and talked to me about his many years of experience and his journey to becoming a new franchise owner. He also helped me to prioritize what absolutely needed to be fixed vs what could probably wait. He didn't try to upsell or push anything which was such a breath of fresh air. He was genuine and honest and answered all my questions. I ended up doing the bare minimum knowing Max is a phone call away if the issues I decided not to fix cause a failure. And all of this at a very competitive price. Also, Max shared that his biggest stress with starting his business so far has not been the work itself but rather communicating with clients. Max is from Ukraine so there were times that we ran into a language barrier but it was a non issue for me - nothing google translator couldn't solve and the work speaks for itself. To sum up, I am thankful I didn't judge this book by its cover at first glance on yelp. I will highly recommend Max and will be using him for all of my HVAC and electrical needs going forward.
