Galaxy Heating & Air

We're proud to share some exciting news: Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning has been named a 2026 SFGate Best of Bay Area finalist, finishing in second place. This recognition comes straight from the community we serve, and it means the world to our entire team.

SFGate Best of Bay Area 2026 Finalist – Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning

What the Best of Bay Area Recognition Means

SFGate's Best of Bay Area program celebrates the local businesses that Bay Area residents trust and recommend most. Finalists are chosen with input from the community — real customers voting for the companies that consistently deliver quality work and dependable service.

Earning a finalist spot and finishing second among Bay Area HVAC contractors is especially meaningful to us. Heating and cooling work happens behind the scenes, in attics, crawl spaces, and side yards. When customers take the time to recognize that work, it tells us we're getting the most important things right: doing the job correctly the first time, showing up when we say we will, and treating every home with respect.

A Thank You to Our Customers

This honor belongs to our customers as much as it does to our team. Over the years, thousands of Bay Area homeowners have trusted us with their comfort — from emergency furnace repairs on cold nights to full heat pump and air conditioning installations.

To everyone who has welcomed our technicians into their home, left a review, or recommended us to a neighbor: thank you. You made this possible.

Building on a Year of Recognition

The Best of Bay Area finalist recognition adds to a strong year for our team. We were also recognized as a BusinessRate Best of 2026 award winner, rated #1 in Pleasant Hill, and we continue to hold credentials we're proud of, including:

  • Diamond Certified rated for quality
  • BBB A+ accredited business
  • NATE-certified technicians
  • EPA-certified for refrigerant handling
  • Manufacturer recognition including American Standard Platinum Customer Care Dealer and Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor status

These certifications reflect a simple commitment: every system we install and service is handled by trained, in-house professionals — never subcontractors.

The Same Service That Earned the Recognition

A finalist spot doesn't change how we work — it reinforces it. Our team continues to provide the full range of HVAC services to homes and businesses across Contra Costa, Alameda, and San Francisco counties, including:

  • Heating system installation, repair, and maintenance
  • Air conditioning installation and repair
  • Heat pump and ductless mini-split systems
  • Heat pump water heaters
  • Indoor air quality solutions
  • 24/7 emergency service

Experience Our Service for Yourself
