About Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar

Quality HVAC, Solar, and Electrical Services in San Jose, Silicon Valley, South Bay and Peninsula Areas

Jeff and Cindy Faulkner are the current owners of Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar, but the company has been family and locally owned in Silicon Valley and the South Bay since 1962 and is a company built on quality and professionalism! We strive to provide “old-fashioned service” to our residential and light commercial clientele. This starts with our support staff and the initial phone call to our office and then extends to the field, to our highly skilled sales staff, technicians and equipment installers. We will go the extra mile to determine our clients’ needs to optimize their comfort. The experience of our staff is consistent. We will always provide our clients with knowledgeable advice, skilled craftsmanship and unparalleled dedication to performance.

Our History

Valley Heating, Cooling, Electrical and Solar was founded as Valley Heating and Cooling by Thomas Atkinson II in 1962. Mr. Atkinson had been in the business since 1962, working for the top HVAC manufacturer during that time. He decided it was time to use his expertise to his best ability by forming a company of his own, and that is how Valley Heating and Cooling began. Thomas Atkinson III took over the business in 1980 and ultimately grew the company well beyond what he had imagined during his 23 years of ownership. Upon retirement, Thomas Atkinson III wanted someone to take over the business who he knew would respect and build on the successes, reputation and values upon which the company was founded. We are so proud to be part of this great company history and this great team and organization and to continue this success by continuing the tradition of “old-fashioned service.”
