Breathable

Breathable is a licensed mechanical contractor operating throughout the Bay Area with over sixteen years of hands-on experience. The company holds CSLB license 979977 and maintains $2 million ininsurance coverage, providing peace of mind on every service call. With a combined 1,700+ reviews across Yelp, Google, and Nextdoor averaging 4.9 stars, Breatheable has earned a reputation for reliable HVAC and indoor air quality work among homeowners in Santa Clara and neighboring communities. Their service menu covers the full spectrum from heat pump installation to duct replacement, making them a single source for whole-home comfort upgrades.

What distinguishes Breathable from typical HVAC companies is their specialization in heat pump technology and their active assistance with California utility rebates. Unlike contractors who treat heat pumps as an afterthought, Breathable guides homeowners through the rebate application process, helping qualifying customers offset installation costs. The company also handles complex projects that other Bay Area contractors decline, including ductwork in homes requiring asbestos remediation coordination or involving hard-to-access zones like ceiling plenum returns. Every technician on staff understands how to work alongside abatement specialists and drywall contractors to keep multi-trade projects moving forward.

Homeowners who left reviews consistently praised specific team members for going beyond standard expectations. One reviewer working with Nir described how he researched available rebates, recommended a higher-quality heat pump at no additional cost, and coordinated with the third-party HERS tester who recorded the lowest air loss the tester had seen recently. Another customer noted that Felipe arrived on time, laid protects on every surface, and even replaced the furnace filter unprompted while explaining each step of the duct cleaning process. A third reviewer dealt with Juan and his crew on a full duct replacement, where they meticulously sealed every joint, insulated properly, and identified an improperly constructed return-air duct that was pulling in outdoor air, a problem they resolved with sheet metal enclosures at fair pricing.
