The human behind the toolbox

I’m the owner and licensed HVAC contractor behind Mihas HVAC. I grew up where winters hit −31°F (−35°C), so heat was never a luxury to me. It was survival.

Today I bring that mindset to homes on the Peninsula. I take care of your system’s whole life: troubleshooting, repairs, replacements, new installs and maintenance.

I don’t chase volume or sales quotas. Instead, I:

  • diagnose with real measurements, not guesses;
  • explain what I find in plain English, with photos and readings;
  • give you clear options (repair, replace or upgrade) with costs and trade-offs;
  • install and commission new equipment myself, so it performs as promised;
  • stay reachable after the job.

If you want one person who knows your system end to end, we’ll work well together.

How I work

What I do

I test properly, show you what I find and explain it in plain language. I repair when it’s safe and sensible, and recommend replacement only when it’s the better option.

What I don’t

No pressure, no oversized systems, no hidden costs, no cut corners. I don’t disappear once you’ve paid.

What I promise

You’ll know what I’m doing, why, and what it costs before I start. Your home is treated like mine, and the workspace is left clean.

Need a second opinion?

Already have quotes that say “replace everything”? I’ll inspect, test and explain what’s really going on, then walk you through your options: a targeted repair, a full replacement, or planning an upgrade for later. Many homeowners call me before committing to a big install.

Straight answers

Who will work on my system?

I will. Mihas HVAC is owner-operated, so the person who diagnoses and quotes your job is the one who does it.

Is the estimate free?

Yes, for new systems and replacements. Repair and diagnostic visits have a service call fee by zone (see below).

Will you try to sell me a new system?

Only when it makes sense. I start with diagnostics. If replacement is the better long-term choice, I’ll show you the numbers, rebates and lifespan, then let you decide.

Another company said it’s “too old to fix.” True?

Sometimes. Often it means “too slow to diagnose.” Let me test it.

Can you just top off the refrigerant?

Low refrigerant means a leak. Topping off every season costs you money and wears out the equipment. I find the leak and fix the cause.

Your estimate isn’t the cheapest. Why?

I price for correct diagnostics, a safe install and long-term reliability: time on site, proper materials, permits where required and careful commissioning. You’ll see exactly what’s included.

Can I text you a photo of the problem?

For repairs, yes. A photo, short video or model/serial label helps me bring the right parts.

What if something goes wrong?

I come back and make it right. My workmanship is under warranty, and you reach me directly, not a call center.

Repair and diagnostic visits have a service call fee by zone (see below).

Service call fee by zone

  • Zone 1 $49
  • Zone 2 $99
  • Zone 3 $149
  • Zone 4 $199

Service call pricing by zone is provided for estimate purposes only and is not guaranteed; zone boundaries are used solely for preliminary pricing and the final service call fee is determined based on the actual travel time to the customer’s location at the time of dispatch, taking current traffic and distance into account. After-hours, weekend, holiday, or priority dispatch surcharges may apply. The service call fee includes travel time and initial diagnostic evaluation and consultation for up to one (1) hour on site (travel time not included in the one-hour limit). The service call represents a minimum charge to which no discounts, promotions, or coupons apply and is due regardless of the scope or outcome of services once a MIHAS HVAC INC technician arrives at the customer’s address, including but not limited to situations where the customer declines service, access to equipment is unavailable, services cannot be performed for any reason (including force majeure), or the customer believes services were not fully rendered. Exception: under the gas furnace repair offer (see /furnace-repair.html), if the furnace cannot be repaired, no service call fee is charged. Any time spent on site beyond one (1) hour during the initial visit will be billed separately at the applicable hourly rate. By requesting service from MIHAS HVAC INC, the customer acknowledges and agrees to these terms.
