Serving the Mid-Peninsula & Beyond

His father helmed the ship for over 30 years from their home in Redwood City. Now we have a warehouse to operate out of in Friendly Acres and we are delighted to provide expert furnace and A/C repairs in nearby neighborhoods of Silicon Valley such as:
Redwood City: From the hills of Emerald Lake to the character homes in Mt. Carmel.
San Carlos: Servicing residential systems in Clearfield Park and the White Oaks area.
Palo Alto: Expert repairs for homes in Baron Park, Old Palo Alto, and Midtown.

The "Expert-First" Repair Approach
Our goal is to maximize the life of your current system. Unless there is a safety issue, such as a cracked heat exchanger or a major sizing mismatch, we focus on the expert repairs needed to make your unit run like new again.
“John Bodnar did a great job fixing our furnace. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had a replacement part available within hours. He is clearly an expert in his field.”

Repair FAQs
How do I know if my system needs a repair or a full replacement?
1
We follow a "Repair-First" philosophy, meaning we lead with skill rather than sales pitches. Generally, if your system is less than 12–15 years old and the repair is safe and cost-effective, we recommend fixing it. If you’ve been told a replacement is your only option, we offer a FREE second opinion to see if John—a 3rd-generation specialist—can find a way to fix it instead.
Do you charge for repair estimates?
2
While we provide free estimates for equipment replacements, our repair diagnostics are a billable service. This allows us to remain 100% objective, because we don't work on commission, we have no incentive to "find" problems that don't exist. You are paying for over 20 years of expert field experience to get the straight truth about your system.
What kind of warranty do you offer on repairs?
3
We stand behind our workmanship with a 60-day labor warranty on every repair. If the same issue returns within that window, we will return to make it right at no additional labor cost to you. This is backed by our status as a fully licensed, insured, and BBB-accredited family business.
Why should I choose Bodnar HVAC over a larger company?
4
Most large companies train their technicians to be sales reps who push expensive replacements. At Bodnar HVAC, you get a small, expert team where the owner, John, personally handles the repairs. We are 3rd-generation technicians who treat our clients like neighbors in Redwood City, San Carlos, and Palo Alto.
