Complete Heating and Cooling Services in Alameda
Even with cooler Bay influence, AC issues become urgent when the weather warms up. If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, cooling unevenly, leaking water, or not turning on at all, we’ll diagnose the problem and restore reliable cooling.
Common AC issues we repair:
AC blowing warm air or not cooling enough
Weak airflow from vents
Uneven cooling between rooms
Frozen evaporator coil (ice buildup indoors)
Outdoor condenser not turning on or shutting off
Electrical problems (capacitors, contactors, relays, wiring)
Thermostat and sensor issues
Water leaks from clogged condensate drain lines
What’s a capacitor?
A capacitor helps the compressor and fan motor start and run. If it fails, the system may click repeatedly, buzz, struggle to start, or shut off unexpectedly.
AC Installation and Replacement
If your AC is older, inefficient, or frequently needing repairs, replacement can improve comfort and reduce energy waste. Newer systems often run quieter and maintain more stable indoor temperatures—especially when paired with proper airflow setup.
Our AC installation process typically includes:
Proper sizing (comfort + efficiency, without oversizing)
Ductwork and airflow evaluation for central systems
Thermostat setup and calibration
Full system testing after installation
What is short cycling?
Short cycling is when the AC turns on and off too frequently. It can be caused by oversizing, airflow restrictions, thermostat issues, or failing components. It reduces efficiency and increases equipment wear.
Heating Services in Alameda
Alameda evenings can cool down quickly, and coastal humidity can make indoor spaces feel colder. If your furnace won’t start, blows cool air, or shuts off early, we’ll diagnose the issue and restore safe, dependable heat.
Common furnace issues:
Furnace not turning on / no heat
Heater blowing cool air
Weak airflow and cold spots
Loud noises (rattling, banging, squealing)
Burning smell that doesn’t fade quickly
Frequent cycling on/off
Thermostat and control board issues
Ignition and safety sensor problems
What’s a flame sensor?
A flame sensor confirms the burner flame is present. If it’s dirty or failing, the furnace may ignite briefly and then shut down as a safety response.
Furnace Installation and Replacement
A furnace replacement may make sense if:
Repairs are becoming frequent and costly
The unit is older and less efficient
Heating is uneven from room to room
You want quieter operation and better comfort control
We help you choose the right system size and install it for safe, reliable performance.
Heat Pumps and Energy-Efficient HVAC Options in Alameda
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in Bay-facing cities because they provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system and perform well in mild climates.
We provide:
Heat pump installation and replacement
Heat pump repair and maintenance
Ducted heat pump systems (central HVAC style)
Ductless mini-split systems for zoned comfort
What’s a ductless mini-split?
A mini-split is a ductless system with an outdoor unit connected to indoor air handlers. It’s ideal for additions, home offices, upstairs rooms, and spaces where comfort varies—or where ductwork is limited.
Ductwork Services and Airflow Improvements in Alameda
Comfort problems often come down to airflow. In older Alameda homes, ductwork may be leaky, damaged, or poorly balanced—causing cold rooms, weak airflow, and systems that run longer than needed.
Duct services include:
Duct sealing to reduce air leaks
Repairing disconnected or damaged duct runs
Replacing collapsed or deteriorated flex duct
Improving airflow to stubborn rooms
Duct insulation recommendations (as needed)
Why duct sealing matters:
Leaky ducts can dump heated or cooled air into the attic or crawlspace instead of delivering it into your living areas. Sealing improves comfort and reduces HVAC strain.
What’s a return vent?
A return vent pulls indoor air back into the HVAC system to be heated or cooled again. If returns are blocked or undersized, airflow suffers and comfort becomes uneven.
HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Alameda
Preventive maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends equipment life. It’s especially useful before winter heating season and before warmer weather arrives.
A typical HVAC tune-up may include:
Electrical inspections and tightening connections
Testing capacitors, contactors, and safety controls
Outdoor coil inspection/cleaning (as needed)
Blower motor inspection and airflow checks
Drain line inspection and clearing to prevent leaks
Temperature split measurement (performance check)
Thermostat testing and cycle evaluation
Temperature split explained simply:
It’s the difference between the air temperature entering your system and the air temperature coming out of your vents. It helps confirm whether your HVAC system is performing properly.
Coastal air and indoor humidity can make homes feel stuffy if airflow and filtration aren’t right. Dust, pollen, and everyday household particles can also reduce comfort.
We can help with:
Filter recommendations matched to your HVAC system
Airflow balancing to reduce stuffy rooms
Maintenance plans that keep components cleaner
Optional IAQ improvements when appropriate
Filter tip:
A higher-rated filter can improve air quality, but if it restricts airflow too much, it can reduce HVAC performance. The best filter balances filtration and airflow for your system.
Call for HVAC service if you notice:
Uneven temperatures between rooms
Weak airflow from vents
AC blowing warm air or freezing up
Furnace blowing cool air or failing to start
Strange noises (buzzing, grinding, banging, squealing)
Water leaks around the indoor unit
Frequent cycling or nonstop operation
Rising energy bills without explanation
Thermostat settings don’t match comfort
Honest diagnostics and clear recommendations
Repair vs. replace guidance without pressure
Focus on airflow, comfort, and efficiency
