Complete Heating and Cooling Services in Union City
When your AC can’t keep up, it usually shows as warm air, weak airflow, or rooms that cool unevenly. During hot spells, small issues—like a weak capacitor or clogged drain—can quickly become major problems.
Common AC issues we repair:
AC blowing warm air or not cooling enough
Weak airflow from vents
Uneven cooling (hot rooms / cold 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 the compressor and fan motor start and run. If it fails, your system may click repeatedly, buzz, struggle to start, or shut off unexpectedly.
What’s an evaporator coil?
The evaporator coil is the indoor coil that absorbs heat from your home. If it’s dirty or frozen, cooling performance drops and leaks can occur when ice melts.
AC Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner is older, inefficient, or frequently breaking down, replacement can improve comfort and reduce long-term operating costs. Proper sizing is critical—especially for two-story homes where upstairs rooms often run warmer.
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 is when the AC turns on and off too often. It can be caused by oversizing, airflow restrictions, thermostat issues, or failing parts. It reduces efficiency and increases equipment wear.
Heating Services in Union City
Union City evenings and winter mornings can still get cold. If your furnace won’t start, blows cool air, or shuts off early, we’ll diagnose the issue and restore safe, reliable heat.
Common furnace problems:
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 on/off
Thermostat and control board issues
Ignition and safety sensor problems
What’s a flame sensor?
A flame sensor verifies 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 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, dependable operation.
Heat Pumps and Energy-Efficient HVAC Options in Union City
Heat pumps are increasingly popular across the East Bay because they provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system. Many homeowners consider heat pumps for improved efficiency, modern comfort control, and all-electric goals.
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 additions, home offices, converted garages, and rooms that need separate temperature control.
Ductwork Services and Airflow Improvements in Union City
Airflow problems can make even a good HVAC system feel weak. Leaky ducts, damaged runs, or poor balance can create hot/cold spots and increase energy bills because conditioned air never reaches the rooms that need it.
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 space. Sealing improves comfort and reduces strain on your HVAC system.
What’s a return vent?
A return vent pulls air back into the 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 Union City
Preventive maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your equipment—especially before peak summer cooling and winter heating seasons.
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 leaving through your vents. It helps confirm whether your HVAC system is performing 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 when the system runs more during hot months.
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
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 for your system.
