Hear from Our Customers
You wake up to a cold house and your furnace isn’t working. The temperature dropped into the 40s overnight, and you need heat now, not next week.
We get it. San Mateo’s mild winters still mean you need reliable heating when those unexpected cold snaps hit the Bay Area. Your furnace might not work as hard as systems in colder climates, but when it breaks down, you feel it immediately.
That’s where 40 years of local experience makes the difference. We arrive with the right parts, diagnose the real problem quickly, and get your system running the same day. No waiting around for parts orders or callbacks.
Eco Air Home Services has been keeping San Mateo County homes comfortable since 1985. When Ramiro took over from his father in 2006, he kept the same commitment to quality service that built our reputation.
We’re the HVAC company your neighbors call when they need straight answers and fair pricing. Our technicians aren’t rotating contractors from out of town—they’re experienced professionals who understand San Mateo’s unique housing, from older properties downtown to newer developments.
You’ll find us actively involved in community sponsorships because this is our home too. When you choose local experience over big corporate chains, you get technicians who care about their reputation in the community they serve.
First, we ask you a few questions about what’s happening with your furnace. Not turning on? Making strange noises? Not heating evenly? This helps us bring the right tools and common parts.
When we arrive, we diagnose the actual problem, not just the obvious symptom. We check your thermostat calibration, inspect ductwork connections, test safety controls, and verify proper ventilation. A furnace that’s “working” but inefficient costs you money all winter.
Then you get the straight story: what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long the repair takes. Most furnace repairs in San Mateo cost between $150 and $600, depending on the problem and parts needed. When we quote you a price, that’s exactly what you pay—no hidden fees or surprise charges after we’re done.

Most furnace repairs in San Mateo cost between $150 and $600, depending on what’s wrong and which parts need to be replaced. Furnace repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system, not what we think we can charge.
Simple fixes like replacing a faulty thermostat or cleaning a clogged filter cost much less than major component replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we touch your furnace.
No surprise charges, no “we found another problem” upsells, no wondering if you’re getting taken advantage of because your furnace picked the worst possible time to quit. When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay.
San Mateo’s climate means your furnace works harder during those unexpected cold snaps that can hit the Bay Area. While your system doesn’t work as hard as furnaces in colder climates year-round, it still needs to ramp up significantly when temperatures drop into the 40s.
During these periods, your furnace runs more frequently and for longer cycles to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. This increased workload can reveal problems that weren’t apparent during milder weather, like worn components or efficiency issues.
Regular maintenance helps your system handle these demands without breaking down. We understand how local weather patterns affect heating systems and adjust our service approach accordingly. Most San Mateo furnaces benefit from annual tune-ups to prevent emergency repairs during cold weather.
Absolutely. For older homes in San Mateo, we understand the unique challenges of working with existing ductwork and electrical systems. We’ve been serving the area since 1985, so we’ve worked on everything from vintage systems in established neighborhoods to modern units in newer developments.
Older homes often have different ductwork configurations, electrical setups, and space constraints that require experienced technicians. We know how to work within these limitations while ensuring your heating system operates safely and efficiently.
We can also help with efficiency upgrades that make sense for your home and budget, especially with California’s focus on energy conservation. Whether it’s improving airflow, updating thermostats, or recommending system improvements, we provide solutions that work with your home’s existing infrastructure.
