Complete Heating and Cooling Services in Los Gatos
If your AC is blowing warm air, cooling unevenly, or running longer than normal, it’s time to get it checked. Many air conditioning issues start small—like a weak capacitor, dirty coil, or clogged drain line—and become bigger repairs if ignored.
Common AC issues we repair:
AC blowing warm air or not cooling enough
Weak airflow from vents
Frozen evaporator coil (ice buildup)
Outdoor condenser not turning on or shutting off
Electrical issues (capacitors, contactors, relays, wiring)
Thermostat and sensor problems
Water leaks from clogged condensate drains
What’s an evaporator coil?
The evaporator coil is the indoor coil that absorbs heat from your home. When it gets dirty or freezes, cooling performance drops and the system may leak water as ice melts.
AC Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner is older, inefficient, or frequently breaking down, replacement can improve comfort and help lower long-term operating costs. Newer systems often offer quieter performance and better temperature control—especially when paired with proper airflow setup.
Our AC installation process typically includes:
Proper sizing (to avoid short cycling and hot spots)
Duct and airflow evaluation (for central systems)
Thermostat setup and calibration
Full performance testing after installation
What is short cycling?
Short cycling means the AC turns on and off too frequently. It can be caused by oversizing, restricted airflow, thermostat issues, or failing components. It increases wear and reduces efficiency.
Heating Services in Los Gatos
Los Gatos winter mornings and evenings can feel chilly—especially in homes with uneven airflow or older ductwork. If your furnace won’t start, keeps shutting off, or doesn’t heat consistently, we can diagnose and fix the issue safely.
Common furnace problems:
Furnace won’t turn on / no heat
Heater blowing cool air
Loud noises (rattling, banging, squealing)
Burning smell that doesn’t fade quickly
Frequent cycling on/off
Thermostat issues and control board problems
Ignition and safety sensor failures
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 off as a safety measure.
Furnace Installation and Replacement
A furnace replacement may be the right option if:
Repairs are becoming frequent and expensive
The unit is older and less efficient
Heating is uneven from room to room
You want quieter performance and improved comfort control
We help you choose the correct size and setup for your home—without overselling equipment you don’t need.
Heat Pumps and High-Efficiency HVAC Options
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular in Los Gatos because they provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system—often an excellent match for Bay Area climate conditions. Many homeowners also choose heat pumps for electrification goals and modern comfort control.
We offer:
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 that uses an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. It’s ideal for additions, home offices, guest suites, or rooms that need separate temperature control.
Ductwork and Airflow Improvements in Los Gatos
Even the best HVAC equipment can struggle if the ductwork is leaking, damaged, or poorly balanced. In older Los Gatos homes, duct issues can be a major cause of uneven comfort, dust, and high energy bills.
Duct services include:
Duct sealing to reduce air leakage
Repairing disconnected or damaged duct runs
Replacing collapsed or deteriorated flex duct
Airflow improvements for stubborn hot/cold rooms
Duct insulation recommendations (as needed)
Why duct sealing matters:
Leaky ducts can send conditioned air into the attic or crawlspace instead of delivering it to your rooms. Sealing improves comfort and reduces strain on the HVAC system.
HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Los Gatos
Routine maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system—especially before peak summer cooling and winter heating demand.
A typical maintenance visit may include:
Electrical inspection and tightening connections
Testing capacitors, contactors, and safety controls
Outdoor coil inspection and cleaning (as appropriate)
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 heating/cooling properly.
Indoor air quality can be affected by dust, pollen, pets, and seasonal air conditions. Better filtration and airflow can make your home feel cleaner and more comfortable—especially for families with allergies.
We can help with:
Filter recommendations matched to your HVAC system
Airflow balancing to reduce stuffy rooms
Maintenance plans that keep internal components cleaner
Optional IAQ improvements when appropriate for your needs
Filter tip:
A higher-rated filter can improve air quality, but if it restricts airflow too much, it can reduce performance. The right filter balances filtration and airflow.
