Heating and air conditioning service built around Corte Madera

Around Corte Madera, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Because California runs high-efficiency heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Corte Madera94976 HVAC questions, answered
How often should I change my filter in 94976?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Corte Madera with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Corte Madera we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during May through October. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Corte Madera, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in California is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in California covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Corte Madera see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
