Heating & Cooling Services
Up & Above Heating and Cooling provides reliable, 24/7 HVAC services throughout San Francisco. Whether you need emergency heating repair in the Mission, a furnace tune-up in the Sunset District, or an indoor air quality upgrade in Pacific Heights, our local technicians are just a phone call away.
We service all San Francisco neighborhoods — from the Richmond and Noe Valley to SoMa, the Castro, and surrounding areas.
San Francisco’s climate is unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area — cool, foggy summers, damp winters, and microclimates that can vary block by block. Heating is a year-round necessity here, and when your system goes down, you feel it fast. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating accounts for the largest share of home energy use — which means a well-maintained system isn’t just about comfort, it’s about keeping costs under control. Up & Above Heating and Cooling understands San Francisco’s unique demands, from the older Victorian and Edwardian homes in the Richmond and Haight to the modern condos and mixed-use buildings in SoMa and the Mission.
We’re not a call center dispatch company. When you call Up & Above, you get a local technician — not a contractor pulled from a list. Every job is backed by upfront pricing, licensed and insured service, and a commitment to getting it right the first time.

We are very satisfied with Up & Above Heating and Cooling. We recently had a dead animal smell coming from our heating duct. Sam was able to come out to our house immediately and quickly diagnosed the problem: a broken connector in the ducts that led to the room where the smell was most noticeable. The technicians from Up & Above Heating were able to replace the connector and clean the infested vents promptly, which immediately resolved the issue. Throughout the entire process, the crew displayed the utmost professionalism and did an exceptional job. They also cleaned the remaining ducts and the heater, leaving our entire system in excellent condition. We are incredibly grateful for their services and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of heating and cooling repairs. Thank you, Sam and Up & Above Heating!Posted on Yelp![]()

I am having a new furnace installed in a rental property in San Francisco Potrero Hill Din one week. I therefore urgently needed the existing old furnace air ducts cleaned. The technician from Up & Above responded to my Yelp request in 10 minutes and arranged to meet me at the property later than day. I asked for a call 15 minutes before he arrived at the property. He then called me 15 minutes later to meet me at the property to make an assessment of the work that needed to be done and provide an estimate. The technician arrived on time, actually was waiting for me to arrive. He explained what needed to be done and the cost. He also suggested that he check the washer/dryer air vent ducts, because they had not been cleaned in 15 years. I am attaching a picture of the debris removed from the dryer vent, that if not removed would have caused a potential fire hazard and harm to the dryer down the road. He then proceeded to clean the old furnace heating air vents, including 5 heat registers in the apartment and also the cold air intake duct and vent. His work was incredibly neat and quick, all done in less than an hour. He advised as to future maintenance and reasons why. Overall a very impressive performance staring with an almost instantaneous response to the initial request for a estimate, to arranging for a quick visit to the property for an estimate, and then initiation and completion of the work, concluding with recommendations for future maintenance. I will not hesitate to use Up & Above in the future. Although they are listed as being based in Brentwood, they service San Francisco.

These folks are the real deal. After a disappointing quote from a big-box competitor, we called Up & Above. They provided a more comprehensive service for a better price. The installation team was fast, friendly, and left our basement cleaner than they found it. Our new heat pump works flawlessly!Posted on Google![]()

Reliable and knowledgeable! Our AC went out on a Friday afternoon, and I was sure we'd be sweating all weekend. Up & Above answered my call, fit us in, and had it repaired before dinner. The technician was transparent about the costs and the parts used. A lifesaver!Posted on Google![]()

A breath of fresh air in every sense! We had an emergency furnace repair during a cold snap. Up & Above had a technician to us the same day. He was professional, knowledgeable, and didn't try to upsell us on anything we didn't need. The house was warm again in no time. Will be our first call for any future HVAC needs.Posted on Google![]()

I’m incredibly impressed. Not only did they fix our noisy furnace blower, but the technician also performed a full safety check and carbon monoxide test at no extra charge, just for peace of mind. That level of care is rare. This is now our family’s go-to HVAC company.Posted on Google![]()
