Ryan Bishop (Service Technician) came to our home to inspect a constant water leaking from a PCV pipe near a window. Ryan found that the main draining PCV pipe was clogged. Long story short, he got the A/C unit in the attic unclogged and operating normal. He was great at explaining everything to me in simple terms. He will be back in four weeks to service our A/C unit and replace the safety pan. I highly recommend Ryan Bishop and Kelly Plumbing & Heating. Great company! Great Professionals!

The Kelly Team was outstanding from start to finish. I had several other proposals but only Kelly suggested putting the outside heat pump units in a more aesthetic and efficient location outside while also putting the air handler in the attic which created more space in the garage where the loud and bulky gas furnace was previously. Even with the extra work, the cost was still less than the other vendors....but most importantly, the installers (led by Mario) were expert craftsmen that put extra care, effort, and pride in everything they did.
I could observe at many steps along the way where they could have cut corners if they wanted to, but they always made extra effort to reinforce everything and make it aesthetically pleasing (air handler looks like an industrial art installation in the attic) while also fixing problems created by others in the past (pipes in bad configurations, etc.). Sealing the ducting is also a critical step and this passed the pressure test inspection quickly. Also, during the 7 days of work, Mario explained anything I asked about.
Kelly is a family run business led by owner Jim Kelly who plans and scopes every project and oversees the process to completion. I can tell that the employees are treated well as I can observe their pride and contentment in their work and some have been with them for 20 years which is a strong sign of the enduring quality of the firm.
After being a first time homeowner for 4 years now, I am finding that larger firms (particularly private equity owned ones or those targeting to be private equity owned) that advertise more and promote fee-based "club" gimmicks along with higher pressure sales tactics to sign quickly, etc. tend to charge more and are more prone to cutting corners, so I will always seek out the smaller, directly managed owner/founder firms like Kelly going forward.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Dear Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Yelp community. We take pride in our work and always try to listen to the customer regarding their needs... This starts from the initial call and discussion with Jim to the installers and installation of equipment. Your feedback is truly appreciated by our company.
Best,

So I waited a year to post this because I wanted to make sure the huge issue was resolved, which it was although it took many months and at least four visits from their service tech Ryan, and multiple calls, emails, and escalation to Trane. I will share my experience. I had received multiple bids on new HVAC (AC and gas furnace) and then came across Jim Kelly who also bid on a Trane Heat pump plus a backup furnace. There was a rebate on the heat pump making it comparable in cost. He was the only person to tell me about the heat pump option, and I am so glad he did because it was the way to go. Overall, Kelly Plumbing was not inexpensive but not the most expensive. They were fair.
This is a top notch system, fully modulating heat pump, variable speed blower and furnace, two zones, and a central Daikin air purifying filter setup that had to be custom adapted to this system. They also did some major duct work revisions. It took five full days. I cannot give enough praise to the crew that installed it: Mario who was lead, Fernando, Diego, and Eric. I also met Ryan at that time as well. I have a lot of experience with different plumbing and HVAC crews over the years over multiple houses and systems. These guys honestly are as good as it gets. Totally professional, on time, neat, high quality work, did not cut any corners. They were just great.
I was truly happy.....Until the yellow error triangle appeared that was the bane of my existence for many months. Now Kelly Plumbing & Heating had already been paid in full, but not once did I ever feel abandoned despite a long process of resolution. Not to bore you, but the error indicator had something to do with faulty outdoor temperature readings at the Heat Pump temperature probe that caused switching back and forth between using the local reading or the temperature from the internet which is more representative of the area. It would be crucial to get an accurate reading outside my house because that would be used to direct the heat pump to heat the house vs using the backup furnace I had installed (you can set a temperature threshold for the crossover). So in order to use the heat pump it was imperative that this be working.
Over several visits Ryan changed the temperature probe, then tried running a direct wire from the relay board to the Heat pump, then tried putting in a new thermostat. Finally it turned out to be a bad relay board, which when replaced actually solved the problem. Ryan and Kelly Plumbing were fully committed to solving this. Trane had been willing to replace the entire heat pump if needed, which would have been crazy because it was a brand new unit. At one point during this whole process Jim Kelly asked me to contact Trane because they were not getting paid anything to make all these follow up service calls, so I agreed to do that and open a case. At no point did Kelly ever shirk their responsibility to provide ongoing service to get this issue resolved.
You know, my life experience which is exemplified here, is that if you deal with the right people and you don't cut corners then things work out. My experience was anticlimactic because I should have been feeling great about the expensive, new HVAC upgrade but instead I was just irked by this brand new install that kept flashing error messages for many months until ultimately they figured out what was wrong and fixed it. At that point it was just sigh of relief not to deal with the annoyance any more, as opposed to actual pleasure focusing on just enjoying the system because it took so long to get resolvEd. I feel that another plumbing company likely would not have been able to solve it or would have given up sooner. Thank you Jim and Ryan for hanging in there in getting us to the finish line.
I would recommend this company because they sell great equipment and they believe in it. Because they are professional from start to finish. Because they stand by their product and their work.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Excellent. I called and someone actually answered the phone live. I provided my address and explained my situation. Per my request, I had an estimate for Hot Water Replacement delivered to my email in a very timely manner. I would definitely refer Kelly Plumbing & Heating to a friend!

I would give more stars if they were available. Outstanding service from estimate to completion. Mario and his team showed up promptly every day to install our heat pump system and were very professional and courteous. Thanks to them we'll be comfortable in winter and summer.

Kelly Plumbing and heating installed a new gas furnace and gas air conditioner for me in October 2023. Their knowledge and the quality of their work is excellent and they are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them.

I called Kelly Plumbing & Heating after receiving multiple estimates for servicing our HVAC and was fortunate enough to speak with Jim. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and caring. He spoke with me for an hour (wow!) and educated me about what we really needed to do - nothing of which financially benefited him! He could have sold me various things that other companies said that we needed, but he did not believe those to be necessary. It is so rare to find people like him these days. When we change our HVAC system in the near future, we will undoubtedly go with this company.

Always pleased with the responsiveness and knowledge and patience demonstrated by the Kelly Plumbing & Heating team. Ryan came out quickly as promised and replaced our dead thermostat during the hot spell a few weeks ago. In spite of the clear training Ryan did with us during the installation process, and because we are creatures of habit, once Ryan left, we had a hard time figuring out how to use all the bells and whistles with the new thermostat. Ryan returned (with a smile!) and patiently re-trained us on how to use all the new features so we could make the most of setting times/days/temperatures. We so appreciate the Kelly team as they always deliver excellent service and lasting products--that's why our one and only call for help for new/replacement products is always to Kelly! They are dependable, and always deliver high quality products and services. We so appreciate them for all they do when we need their help!

Warm Regards, Anna**Jul 19, 2023Previous reviewKelly's team is always responsive and reliable--from the person who answers the phone to the technician who comes to fix our problem. . We can count on them to be knowledgeable and resourceful to fix what ever issue we have. Our AC went out over the hot weekend, of course! They promised they would see us right away and fix the thermostat. We so appreciate that we can always count on them to service our new needs as well as address problems with aging systems. Thank you, Kelly, for always coming through for us--that's why you are the first and only call we need to make when we have a problem that needs a quick fix.
Jun 4, 2020Previous reviewwhat a great experience we just had! of course, the AC goes out on the hottest days of the year, right?? Well, the Kelly team did our install many years ago so we called for their help after suffering through a miserable, hot, noisy night. Ann promptly returned my call FIRST THING in the morning and was able to schedule/squeeze in a technician for the same afternoon. Within minutes of his arrival, Ryan assessed the issue and shortly, we were back to having our home cooled again. LIFESAVERS!! '
thank you both so much for your amazing service excellence and technical competence. LOVE YOU GUYS! - Tank M.Novato, CA03Jun 29, 2022
A few years ago, the 20+ year old furnace in the house we just purchased completely died. It was the middle of the coldest spell Marin had seen in a very long time. It was honestly 40 degrees in my house. Jim and his guys came in and replaced everything with an updated furnace system and we could not be happier. We recently had to call them to deal with an issue (our own fault) and they sent RYAN immediately who, we've come to know and respect for his professionalism, efficiency and great personality.
Fast forward to now and we have the exact opposite issue - it's too hot without air conditioning. We contacted Jim and he sent out his crew to help us out. MARIO (who actually installed our new furnace) ERIC, FERNANDO and DIEGO were professional, respectful, on time, neat and incredibly personable. We now have air conditioning and are ready for the next heat wave.
We highly recommend Kelly Plumbing and Heating and will continue to call them for all of our HVAC needs.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
