Looking for Berkeley's best HVAC contractor? Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning is your trusted local expert for heating, cooling, and heat pump solutions across all Berkeley neighborhoods. With premium brands like Mitsubishi, Carrier, Daikin, and Lennox, we bring energy - efficient comfort to Berkeley's unique housing stock. Berkeley's dramatic microclimates - from foggy hills to warmer flatlands-demand properly sized, adaptable HVAC systems.
Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning proudly serves Berkeley homeowners, from historic homes in the hills to classic bungalows near campus to modern condos downtown. Our NATE-certified technicians understand Berkeley's climate challenges and architectural diversity, providing expert service for heating, cooling, and air quality needs. As a fully licensed HVAC contractor, we meet all local codes and industry standards.
We specialize in Berkeley's unique challenges: older homes without ductwork, steep hillside properties, dramatic temperature variations between neighborhoods, and environmentally conscious homeowners seeking energy-efficient solutions. Our team provides upfront pricing, lasting repairs, and expert guidance. We're available 24/7 for emergencies with same-day service. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and maximizes system lifespan.
To make HVAC upgrades accessible, we offer flexible financing with convenient monthly payments (on approved credit). Whether you're adding ductless AC to a historic home, replacing an old furnace, or upgrading to a complete heat pump system, we'll help you find an affordable payment plan.
Berkeley's housing ranges from grand hillside estates and historic Craftsman homes to charming flatland bungalows and modern university-area apartments. Many older Berkeley homes lack central air conditioning or even ductwork, making ductless heat pumps an ideal retrofit solution that preserves architectural character while delivering modern comfort.
We serve Berkeley's vibrant commercial community, including restaurants on Shattuck Avenue and College Avenue, retail spaces downtown, campus-adjacent buildings, and tech offices. Our commercial team handles rooftop units, multi-zone systems, and specialized applications with 24/7 emergency support.
Berkeley's famous microclimates create unique HVAC needs: the hills remain cool and foggy year-round (often requiring minimal AC), while flatter areas closer to the Bay can reach 80-90°F in summer. We recommend variable-speed heat pumps that automatically adapt to these temperature swings, providing optimal comfort with minimal energy waste. Berkeley homeowners also appreciate heat pumps' environmental benefits-all-electric operation with zero fossil fuel combustion.

Ideal for older Berkeley homes without ducts and hillside zone control
Installed a Mitsubishi multi-zone ductless system (model MXZ-4C36 with 4 indoor units) in a 1910 Craftsman home in North Berkeley. The homeowners wanted to preserve their home's architectural integrity while adding modern climate control. The new system provides independent temperature control for each floor and reduced heating costs by 38% compared to their old radiator system.
Replaced an aging 14 SEER AC and 80% gas furnace with an 18 SEER2 variable-speed Carrier heat pump in a 1,800 sq ft Elmwood bungalow. The new system uses existing ductwork, operates quietly, and qualified for $2,100 in combined local rebates and federal tax credits. The homeowner reports significantly more even temperatures throughout the home.
Installed a Daikin cold-climate heat pump system (Daikin Fit series) for a hillside Berkeley home with spectacular Bay views. The compact outdoor unit fit perfectly in the limited space available, and the inverter-driven compressor delivers efficient heating even during cool, foggy mornings. The whisper-quiet operation was essential for the home's serene hillside setting.
