Complete Heating and Cooling Services in Menlo Park
If your AC is blowing warm air, cooling unevenly, or running nonstop, it’s time for a professional diagnosis. Many air conditioning issues begin as small problems—like weak electrical components, dirty coils, or drain line clogs—and become bigger repairs if ignored.
Common AC problems 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 issues (capacitors, contactors, relays, wiring)
Thermostat and sensor problems
Water leaks from clogged condensate drain lines
What’s a capacitor?
A capacitor helps your 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 system is older, inefficient, or frequently breaking down, replacement can improve comfort and reduce energy waste. Newer systems often offer quieter performance, better efficiency, and more stable temperatures throughout the home.
Our AC installation process typically includes:
Proper sizing (comfort + efficiency, without oversizing)
Duct and airflow evaluation for central systems
Thermostat setup and calibration
Full performance testing after installation
What is short cycling?
Short cycling occurs when the AC turns on and off too frequently. It can be caused by improper sizing, restricted airflow, thermostat issues, or failing components. It reduces efficiency and increases equipment wear.
Heating Services in Menlo Park
Menlo Park evenings can get cool, and a furnace that struggles can leave certain rooms uncomfortable. If your furnace won’t start, blows cool air, or keeps shutting off, we can diagnose the issue and restore safe, dependable heat.
Common furnace issues:
Furnace not turning on / no heat
Heater blowing cool air
Weak airflow and uneven heating
Loud noises (rattling, banging, squealing)
Burning smell that doesn’t fade quickly
Frequent cycling or shutting off early
Thermostat and control board problems
Ignition and safety sensor issues
What’s a flame sensor?
A flame sensor verifies that the burner flame is present. If it’s dirty or failing, the furnace may ignite briefly and then shut down as a safety measure.
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 between rooms
You want quieter operation and improved comfort control
We help you choose a properly sized system and install it for reliable performance and safety.
Heat Pumps and Energy-Efficient HVAC Options
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in Menlo Park because they provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system—often an excellent fit for the Peninsula climate.
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 one or more indoor air handlers. It’s ideal for home offices, additions, guest suites, or rooms that need separate temperature control.
Ductwork Services and Airflow Improvements in Menlo Park
Comfort issues often come down to airflow. If ductwork leaks, is damaged, or isn’t balanced properly, you may experience hot/cold spots, weak airflow, and higher energy costs.
Duct services include:
Duct sealing to reduce air leakage
Repairing disconnected or damaged duct runs
Replacing collapsed or deteriorated flex duct
Improving airflow to problem rooms
Duct insulation recommendations (as needed)
Why duct sealing matters:
Leaky ducts can dump heated or cooled air into attics or crawlspaces instead of delivering it into your rooms. Sealing improves comfort and reduces strain on your HVAC system.
HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Menlo Park
Preventive maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend equipment life—especially before peak summer cooling and winter heating seasons.
A typical HVAC tune-up may include:
Electrical inspection and tightening connections
Testing capacitors, contactors, and safety controls
Outdoor coil inspection/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 operating properly.
Indoor air quality can be affected by dust, pollen, pets, and seasonal air conditions. Better filtration and healthy airflow can help your home feel cleaner and more comfortable—especially when windows are closed.
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 upgrades when appropriate
Filter tip:
Higher-rated filters can improve air quality, but if they restrict airflow too much, it can reduce HVAC performance. The best filter balances filtration and airflow.
Call for service if you notice:
Uneven temperatures between rooms
Weak airflow from vents
