    • Q:

      How can I control humidity levels in my home with the HVAC system?

      A:

      Hi Yun. To add humidity, a whole-house humidifier should be installed. To lower humidity, use either your thermostat's dehumidification option (assuming your AC/heat pump supports this function) or a whole house dehumidifier.

      Wow, these guys are seriously awesome! I decided to do an air duct cleaning and a dryer vent cleaning. My heater had a funky smell even after I used another air duct cleaning service last year. I was referred by a heating guy in town, which says a lot about the respect he must have had for this compnay. Anyway, I always dread the phone tag trying to book the service, but this is the first time the booking was so easy. I talked to the owner, he emailed me options and we booked a day. His response time was so fast in terms of booking. Who has time to chase after people for services you don't even want to do? I did have to wait a couple weeks, but that means they are busy and good.

      Diego and two members of his team showed up. Diego was so professional, personable, and informative. He explained the process which entailed I think a shop vaccuming, then duct cleaning, furnace cleaning, and scrubbing of all my vents outside (with their own table!) Each guy just plowed through the work. They were so fast and efficientt, but I made to sure to compare the service I paid for last year with this one. Let's just say these guys are top notch and are a screaming deal! I paid way more with the other company and they didn't even scrub my vents, vaccuum my floors after they completed the work. Not to mention, I appreciated that there were three guys so the work could get done quicker.

      Diego, also pointed out a couple issues with wear and tear and with my vents not being properly sealed. We added those services, they moved quickly to take care of those things as well. I'll be calling them again.

      Had Breathable for Air Duct cleaning job last year and very satisfied with the result, so a returning customer to Breathable for our Attic Insulation Replacement project. Juan and his team performed a high quality job. Juan is very professional and very helpful in solving any issues encountered along the way. The team arrived on time, worked diligently and cleaned up everything afterwards. Would definitely work with Breathable again for any future projects.

      We had Breathable come out and do a leakage check on our ductwork. They did a thorough job of that. Found a few leaks but then did an analysis and helped us solve a weak airflow problem in 3 rooms of our house.

      On a subsequent visit, Juan and his team arrived promptly on time in the morning, taped and shielded all our furniture, and then went to work. They built couple of new plenum boxes on site, cleaned all our old ductwork and installed new/resized ducts for the weak-airflow rooms. They also changed my furnace filter.

      We're delighted with the results. We have stronger cooling and heating airflow to the rooms and cleaner air in general. Exactly what we hoped to achieve.

      I'll be having these guys back to do more insulation work in the very near future!

      I had an excellent experience with Breathable. Juan and his team arrived on time, protected my floors and stuff, thoroughly cleaned everything, gave me some advice, and showed me how to change my new fancy filter. They are terrific!

      I will definitely call Breathable for my next cleaning. Thank you!

      Breathable provides a breath of fresh air for anyone seeking top-notch service in maintaining indoor air quality. From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction.

      Juan and his team arrived promptly, equipped with state-of-the-art tools and a wealth of knowledge. They conducted a thorough assessment of my heating system, identifying areas that needed attention. What stood out was their attention to detail; they didn't just clean the obvious parts but delved deep into the system, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning process with a needed change of my filter.

      Not only did they rid my HVAC system, bathroom filter, and dryer vent of dust, debris, and allergens, but they also offered valuable insights into how to optimize its performance for better energy efficiency. Their expertise was evident throughout the service, and I felt confident that my indoor air quality was in capable hands.

      Moreover, the team's courteous demeanor and respect for my home were much appreciated. They took care to minimize disruptions and left the space cleaner than they found it--a testament to their professionalism and dedication to excellence.

      In conclusion, Breathable exceeded my expectations in every aspect. With their meticulous approach, knowledgeable team, and commitment to customer satisfaction, I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC cleaning services. Breathe easier with Breathable--it's an investment in your health and comfort.

      Excellent service. Noe and his associate arrived early, and obliged with our no shoes in the house rule and laid down plastic coverings on the floor as well. Their manager Nir kept me updated and was very easy to talk to.

      After all the work the vents looked very clean and there was no mess left behind. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

      Updated review

      Wow, the last time I used this service and posted a review was when I was living on the coast.

      Glad this company sent me an email because I was actively searching for someone to service my home in Marin. They have a huge service area, so if you don't see yours listed please feel free to ask. I am so glad I did!

      What service? The most overlooked one. CLEANING THE DRYER DUCT AND VENT AND HVAC DUCTS.

      My ducts, dryer, furnace, and air conditioner are 4 years old or less. I know this because we bought those items when we bought this house and finally moved in. Still need to have regular cleanings,

      The pandemic messed up a lot of things, and one of those things is annual duct cleaning. When you have asthma, dust allergy, sinus issues etc etc, annual duct cleaning is important (I change the main filter every month). I never started cleaning here because the pandemic and lockdowns hit once our boxes were here from SF. Then I forgot about it because none of us had Covid. I wanted to keep it that way. I was slow to let people into my house for service.

      How do you know you need this service?

      For me, I was a lot of rashes and I use my inhalers a lot more. I noticed my husband would get more frequent sinus infections. I also noticed the amount of dust when I clean and when I vacuum, my Dyson capsule fills up more than once in certain rooms.

      The telltale sign for the dryer that can start a fire if you're not careful?

      My dryer was taking more than one cycle to dry my laundry. I also noticed the filter was no longer capturing lint.

      Communicated with the owner via email. Scheduled the date and time most convenient to me. The crew who showered up were more than happy to wear N-95 masks while in my house, they also had really clever plastic to protect the floor to roll their unit throughout the house and to protect the wall and floor areas of vents they were accessing.

      They worked fast after splitting the team up so everyone was busy doing what they needed to do.

      They got so much dust out of my vents and ducts. That means less dust in our lungs.

      Everyone was so polite. Despite the messiness of their work, they are very neat.I remember loving this from my previous service with them almost a decade ago. Their standards remain high for this current visit. I appreciate that so much.

      It was affordable, easy to schedule via email, and the team who showed up were on time, efficient, and polite.

      My dryer is working like it did when I first bought it. I noticed the air in the house is lighter, my swiffer captures less dust when I clean, and my Dyson only needs to be cleared of dust in the capsule once per floor of vacuuming.

      All of this also reduces your PG and E bill. Let's not pretend they aren't gouging us more and more.

      Ah! That reminds me, Breathable also offers duct check for leaks and whatnot for a nominal fee. That is another way you wind up losing money overpaying PGE. Gotta stay on top of those money saving strategies.

      I really love doing business with this great company.

      I appreciate them keeping my healthy house running efficiently.

      Bookmark this one so you have it handy when you need it!

      Five stars for perfection!

      We a new furnace and heat-pump installed by Breathable. Nir, the owner, was great to work with. His quote was fair and while our job had some complications he stood by his price. The installer, Diego, was super professional- cleaning up the job site every day and making sure all the wiring and duct work looked good.
      I'd definitely recommend them.

      Juan and his team did a great job fixing leaks in our ducting (full replacement), expanding the air vent return, and identifying and fixing other issues identified on the day of service. We've been using Breathable for many years now for cleaning and improvements to our heating system. They're reliable, knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

      Breathable was very quick to send me a quote for duct cleaning from an online form, and it was easy to communicate with them to request some additional HVAC work to be performed. The quote included very clear and well put together information about the difference duct cleaning service options they offer. Additionally, it was easy to book an appointment with them that was not to far in the future.

      The team that arrived was led by Juan, and they worked very quickly, professionally, and efficiently. They immediately laid down plastic in all areas they were servicing to keep it clean, and quickly worked with me to assess some of the bathroom exhaust fans. The team worked quickly, and cleaned everything thoroughly. The put everything back together, and even assisted with some furnace and thermostat wiring work that I had asked about.

      The price, while not the lowest, seemed pretty competitive given the scope and quality of the work, and I would definitely work with them again the next time we need duct cleaning services.
