We work from our office in San Leandro for homes and businesses in San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Castro Valley. The list of services below is long, but most visits start from one of a handful of situations. Find the one that matches yours.
Something stopped working: book a repair
If the AC runs without cooling, the furnace blows cold air or will not light, or a heat pump or mini-split shows an error, book the repair for that equipment: AC repair, furnace repair, heat pump repair or mini-split repair. If you are not sure what is wrong, the problem guides explain what to check first and how urgent it is. No heat on a cold night, water coming through a ceiling or a burning smell is a job for emergency HVAC.
The system is old or keeps breaking: compare replacement
Repeated repairs, a major part failing on an older system, or a refrigerant that is getting expensive to service are the usual reasons to look at new equipment. AC installation and furnace installation replace like for like. A heat pump heats and cools with one system, and ductless mini-splits suit rooms the ducts never reached, such as additions and garage conversions. Our repair-or-replace comparisons for air conditioners and furnaces help with the decision. Financing is available for installations and replacements.
It works but is due for a check: maintenance
An AC tune-up in spring gets the system ready before the warm late-summer and fall afternoons. Furnace maintenance in the fall checks the burners, ignition and safety controls before heating season, which here runs mostly from November to March.
A room is never comfortable, or the air feels dusty or stale
This is usually not a reason for a bigger unit. In older homes with ducts in the attic or crawlspace, crushed or disconnected runs are common and call for duct repair. Dust after a remodel points to duct cleaning, and allergies or lingering odors to indoor air quality work. If the trouble is an old thermostat or a schedule that does not fit your days, see thermostat installation. Offices and shops are covered under commercial HVAC.
Kitchen and laundry appliances
We also repair the appliances a household runs on. Refrigerator repair includes freezers and ice makers. Range repair includes cooktops, and oven repair includes wall and built-in ovens. There are also pages for dishwashers, washers, dryers and wine coolers. For a built-in microwave, range hood or garbage disposal, describe the problem when you call.
Before you call
Have a few details ready: what the equipment is doing, when it started, any error code or blinking light, and the brand and model if they are easy to find. You get the price before any work starts, and the diagnostic fee is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
