What HVAC problems are most common in Berkeley?
The issues we see most in Berkeley: Historic home HVAC integration without damaging character, Radiant heat system service, and Adding cooling to homes designed without it. Berkeley experiences significant climate variation from foggy flats to sunny hills. Summer fog keeps temperatures cool near the bay, while Berkeley Hills can be warm and dry. The fire risk in hills has prompted many homeowners to consider their HVAC air filtration capabilities.
Why won't my AC or heater turn on?
A system that runs but won't cool is often a failed capacitor, low refrigerant, a dirty coil, or a tripped safety switch, while no heat is commonly a bad igniter, flame sensor, clogged filter, or thermostat fault. A proper visit checks refrigerant charge, electrical components, and airflow before quoting any repair.
