Most service calls in Tiburon, Belvedere and Mill Valley are about heat: a furnace, boiler or heat pump that quits on a foggy winter night. Cooling calls are fewer and tend to come on the handful of warm afternoons when view rooms overheat. The services below are grouped the way the work divides in practice.
Heating
Heating repair is the place to start for any no-heat problem, whether the house has a furnace, a boiler with radiant floors or a heat pump. If you know it is a gas furnace, furnace repair covers ignition, flame sensor, pressure switch and blower faults. When an older furnace needs a major part or keeps failing, furnace installation compares replacement options and efficiency levels.
Heat pumps
A heat pump heats and cools with one system, and mild Marin winters suit it well. Heat pump installation often replaces a furnace-and-AC pair and can usually reuse ductwork that is in good condition. Heat pump repair covers defrost problems, sensors and inverter faults.
Ductless systems
Mini-split installation brings heating and cooling to rooms the ducts never reached: additions, view rooms, and older homes with no space for ducts. Mini-split repair usually starts with the error code on the indoor unit or the remote.
Cooling
AC repair is for systems that run without cooling, short-cycle or will not start. AC installation replaces a worn-out unit or adds cooling to a house that never had it. An AC tune-up in spring matters here, because a system that sits idle for months tends to show its problems on the first warm day.
Air quality and ducts
Damp crawlspaces, fog and houses closed up through winter make musty air and dust common complaints. Duct cleaning helps after a remodel or when vents blow visible dust. Indoor air quality work covers filtration and humidity.
Emergency and maintenance
Emergency HVAC is available 24/7 for no heat on a cold night, a burning smell or water coming through a ceiling. Yearly HVAC maintenance keeps small problems from turning into those calls, and near the water it is also the time to deal with salt on the outdoor unit.
