Our house was built in 1948 and the heating unit installed was a gravity heater. Basically a gas floor heater that uses some simple chemistry (cold air sinks, hot air rises) to propel heat into the room. Yes, room…it could heat our living room and that’s about it. This old furnace doesn’t have a fan. Basically, it wasn’t very good.
In mid October we had central heating installed by R & R Marcucci in San Mateo. Ralph came out in September to provide a free estimate and he was very thorough with evaluating our home, providing advice, and asking appropriate questions. I had 5 previous quotes but Ralph seemed like he knew everything just a little bit better. They scheduled the install for October 17th…and sure enough they began on October 17th. They quoted me 3 days for the installation…and guess what, it took 3 days. Getting this type of service is rare unfortunately, but it sure makes a customer feel good. They did an excellent job with the installation – they completed each piece exactly as explained. If they had a question, they called. They left the house very clean after each days’ work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for heating/AC work in the San Mateo area.
