Hear from Our Customers
You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your heating or cooling system will work when you need it most. That’s the reality we create for San Francisco County homeowners every day.
When your HVAC system runs efficiently, your energy bills stay predictable. Your home stays comfortable through those unexpected Bay Area heat waves and chilly fog-covered mornings. No more wondering if your furnace will kick on during the coldest nights or if your air conditioning can handle the next heat spike.
The peace of mind that comes with a properly functioning system means you can focus on what matters most to you, not on whether your home’s climate control will let you down.
Since 2001, we’ve been the HVAC contractor San Francisco County residents call when they need it done right. We’re not another corporate acquisition trying to maximize profits from your neighborhood.
We’re a third-generation, locally-owned business that understands the unique climate challenges of living in San Francisco County. From the microclimates that can shift dramatically within just a few miles to the older homes that need specialized attention, we’ve seen it all and solved it all.
Our Better Business Bureau accreditation isn’t just a badge on our trucks. It represents over two decades of treating your home like our own, showing up in uniform with shoe covers, and cleaning up after ourselves because that’s simply how the job should be done.
First, we listen. When you call, we ask the right questions to understand what’s happening with your system before we even arrive at your door.
Our technician arrives on time, in uniform, wearing shoe covers. We take the time to thoroughly diagnose your system rather than rushing to a quick fix that might fail next month.

Once you choose the solution that makes sense for your situation, we fix it right the first time. Before we leave, we test everything, clean up our work area, and make sure you understand how to maintain your system between visits. Every job comes with our two-year parts and labor warranty because we stand behind our work.

Your San Francisco County home needs more than basic heating and cooling. You need HVAC services that understand the Bay Area’s unique climate patterns and the specific challenges of local housing stock.
We handle furnace repair and installation, air conditioning service and replacement, heat pump systems, and comprehensive HVAC maintenance. Whether you’re dealing with an older home that needs electrical panel upgrades for new equipment or a newer build requiring efficient climate control, we have the expertise and licensing to handle it all.
San Francisco County’s microclimates mean your Sunset District home has different needs than a property in Daly City or Brisbane. We factor in your specific location, home age, and usage patterns to recommend solutions that actually work for your situation, not just what’s easiest to install.
HVAC repair costs in San Francisco County typically range from $200 to $800 for most common issues, with the average repair running about $350. However, the actual cost depends on several factors specific to our area.
Older homes in San Francisco County often require additional work due to outdated electrical systems or unique installation challenges. Simple repairs like thermostat replacement or filter changes cost less, while compressor or heat exchanger issues cost more. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying.
The key is catching problems early through regular maintenance. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,500 emergency repair, especially important given how hard HVAC systems work in our variable climate.
Most HVAC systems in San Francisco County need replacement after 15-20 years, but several factors can shorten or extend this timeline. Given our moderate climate, systems here often last longer than in areas with extreme temperatures.
Consider replacement if your system requires frequent repairs, your energy bills keep climbing despite consistent usage, or you’re dealing with uneven heating and cooling throughout your home. Older systems also struggle with the occasional heat waves we’re seeing more frequently due to climate change.
The decision often comes down to economics. If repair costs exceed 50% of a replacement system’s value, or if your system uses R-22 refrigerant (being phased out), replacement usually makes more financial sense. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement is your best option.
San Francisco County’s climate is changing, and what worked for previous generations might not work for yours. While our area traditionally relied on natural cooling, we’re seeing more frequent heat waves and longer warm periods.
Many newer homes and updated buildings are adding air conditioning systems because portable units and fans aren’t enough during extreme weather events. The key is choosing the right system for your specific location within the county and your home’s characteristics.
Heat pumps are often the best solution here because they provide both heating and cooling efficiently. They work well in our moderate climate and can significantly reduce energy costs compared to traditional heating systems. We help you evaluate whether AC makes sense for your specific situation and budget.
HVAC systems in San Francisco County should be serviced at least once per year, ideally before the heating season begins. However, our unique climate and air quality conditions often require more attention.
Systems here deal with salt air near the coast, fog moisture, and seasonal pollen that can affect performance. We recommend bi-annual service for older systems or homes in areas with heavy fog exposure. Regular service includes cleaning components, checking refrigerant levels, testing safety controls, and identifying potential problems before they become expensive repairs.
The investment in regular maintenance typically pays for itself through improved efficiency and fewer emergency calls. A well-maintained system also lasts longer, which is especially important given the high cost of replacement in our area.
Absolutely. San Francisco County has a large stock of older homes, and we specialize in working with vintage systems and the unique challenges they present. Our experience spans three generations of HVAC technology and installation methods.
Older homes often require creative solutions for ductwork routing, electrical upgrades, or space constraints. We’re familiar with the permits and codes specific to renovating older properties in different San Francisco County jurisdictions. Sometimes we can upgrade components to improve efficiency without full system replacement.
We also understand the character of older neighborhoods and work carefully to preserve the aesthetics of your home while improving its comfort and efficiency. Whether it’s a 1940s bungalow or a Victorian-era home, we have the expertise to make modern HVAC work in traditional spaces.
We’re a third-generation, locally-owned business that’s been serving San Francisco County since 2001. Unlike the corporate chains buying up local companies, we’re still owned and operated by people who live and work in this community.
Our approach focuses on thorough diagnosis and multiple repair options rather than pushing the most expensive solution. We show up in uniform, wear shoe covers, keep our vehicles clean, and treat your home with respect. Every job comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty because we stand behind our work.
We’re also one of the few contractors in the area with a Class A engineering license, and we’re Better Business Bureau accredited. Most importantly, we take the time to understand your specific situation and recommend solutions that actually make sense for your home, your budget, and your comfort needs.
