Who We Are

One Mechanical Team,
Whole-Building Accountable

California Heating & Plumbing is a commercial mechanical contractor built on the same family-owned roots as our sister electrical company, California Electric. We carry C-4 boiler, C-20 HVAC, and C-36 plumbing classifications, so a single contract covers your heating, cooling, and piping scope — with crews who self-perform the work instead of handing it down a chain of subcontractors.

From boiler plants and rooftop units to process refrigeration and backflow protection, we serve facilities that cannot afford guesswork: hospitals, schools, government buildings, food processors, and manufacturers across the Central Coast, throughout California, and nationwide.

How We Work

From Load Calc to Commissioning

01

Assessment & Load

We walk the facility, measure the real load, and document existing conditions before a single number goes on paper.

02

Design & Engineering

Right-sized equipment selection, mechanical drawings, and a scope written so general contractors and owners know exactly what they are getting.

03

Permitting & Compliance

Title 24 and project compliance paperwork handled in-house, with permits pulled and inspections scheduled around your timeline.

04

Install & Commission

Self-performing crews set, pipe, and wire the equipment, then commission and balance the system so it performs on day one.

Why Owners Choose Us

A Contractor That Shows Up & Stands Behind It

We Self-Perform

Our own pipefitters, sheet-metal workers, and HVAC techs do the work — not a chain of subs you never met.

Fully Licensed

C-4 boiler, C-20 HVAC, and C-36 plumbing licenses under one number mean one accountable team for the whole mechanical scope.

Commercial Project Ready

Experienced with project documentation, certified payroll, and bonded commercial construction.

Family & Woman Owned

A locally owned, minority and woman-owned contractor that helps GCs meet DBE participation goals.

Honest Schedules

Realistic timelines and clear change-order communication. No vanishing crews, no surprise invoices.

24/7 Emergency

When a boiler or chiller drops on a Saturday, a real technician answers and rolls a truck.

From the Field

What Builders & Facility Teams Say

“
They self-performed the entire mechanical scope and hit every milestone on our occupied-campus project. Certified payroll was clean and the inspections passed first time.
Daniel Reyes
Project Executive, Coastline Builders
“
Our boiler failed in January. They had a temporary fixed by midnight and the permanent plant commissioned within the week. That responsiveness keeps our beds warm.
Marisol Tan
Director of Facilities, Valley Medical
“
Honest numbers and no games on change orders. For a county public-works job that matters as much as the install quality. We bid them on everything now.
Gregory Okafor
Facilities Manager, Monterey County
