Complete Heating and Cooling Services in Pacifica
Because Pacifica tends to run cooler, heating reliability is a big deal. If your furnace is acting up, you might notice uneven temperatures, the system turning off too quickly, or rooms that never feel warm.
Common heating issues we repair:
Furnace won’t turn on / no heat
Heater blowing cool air
Weak airflow and cold spots in certain rooms
Frequent cycling on/off
Loud noises (rattling, banging, squealing)
Burning smell that doesn’t fade quickly
Thermostat problems or wiring issues
Ignition and safety sensor failures
What’s a flame sensor?
A flame sensor is a safety part that confirms the burner flame is present. If it’s dirty or failing, the furnace may ignite briefly and then shut off.
Furnace Installation and Replacement
A furnace replacement may make sense if:
Repairs are frequent and expensive
Your furnace is older and inefficient
Heating is uneven from room to room
Your system is loud, unreliable, or takes too long to heat the home
We install properly sized heating systems and make sure airflow and thermostat controls are set up correctly for your home.
Heat Pumps: A Great Fit for Pacifica’s Coastal Climate
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in coastal areas because they can provide both heating and cooling efficiently in mild climates. For many Pacifica homeowners, a heat pump can be an excellent upgrade that delivers comfortable heat without the heavy energy use of older systems.
We offer:
Heat pump installation and replacement
Heat pump repair and maintenance
Ducted heat pumps (central HVAC style)
Ductless mini-split heat pumps 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 units. It’s ideal for additions, upstairs bedrooms, home offices, or areas that never stay comfortable with central ducts.
Air Conditioning Services in Pacifica
Even if you don’t rely on AC daily, you still want it working when warmer weather hits. If your AC isn’t cooling, won’t start, or is leaking water, we’ll diagnose the issue and restore proper performance.
Common AC issues we repair:
AC blowing warm air or weak airflow
Frozen evaporator coil (ice buildup)
Outdoor condenser not turning on
Electrical issues (capacitors, contactors, relays)
Thermostat and sensor problems
Water leaks from clogged condensate drains
What’s a capacitor?
A capacitor helps the compressor and fan motor start and run. If it fails, the system may click, buzz, struggle to start, or shut off unexpectedly.
AC Installation and Replacement
If you want stronger cooling for occasional hot days—or your older unit is unreliable—replacement can improve comfort and efficiency. We install properly sized systems that match your home and usage needs, without oversizing.
What is short cycling?
Short cycling means the AC turns on and off too frequently. It can be caused by improper sizing, airflow restrictions, thermostat issues, or failing components. It reduces efficiency and increases wear.
Ductwork Services and Airflow Improvements in Pacifica
Coastal homes often deal with drafts, cold spots, and damp-feeling rooms. Ductwork problems—like leaks or disconnected runs—can make these issues worse by reducing airflow and wasting heated air.
Duct services include:
Duct sealing to reduce air leakage
Repairing disconnected or damaged duct runs
Replacing collapsed or deteriorated flex duct
Improving airflow to cold rooms and problem areas
Duct insulation recommendations (as needed)
Why duct sealing matters:
Leaky ducts can dump heated air into the attic or crawlspace instead of delivering it to your rooms. Sealing helps improve comfort and reduces system strain.
HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Pacifica
Preventive maintenance helps reduce breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently—especially important when heating is used often in a cooler coastal climate.
A typical tune-up may include:
Electrical inspections and tightening connections
Testing capacitors, contactors, and safety controls
Inspecting blower motor and airflow performance
Outdoor coil inspection/cleaning (as appropriate)
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 coming out through your vents. It helps confirm the HVAC system is heating/cooling properly.
With ocean air and frequent fog, some Pacifica homes can feel damp or stale if airflow and filtration aren’t right. Good maintenance and proper airflow can help indoor air feel cleaner and more comfortable.
We can help with:
Filter recommendations matched to your HVAC system
Airflow balancing to reduce stuffy rooms
Maintenance plans that keep components cleaner
IAQ solutions when appropriate for your home
Filter tip:
Higher-rated filters can improve air quality, but if they restrict airflow too much, it can reduce HVAC performance. The right filter balances filtration and airflow.
Call for service if you notice:
Uneven temperatures or persistent cold spots
Weak airflow from vents
Furnace not heating or shutting off early
AC not turning on or blowing warm air
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
