Heating and air conditioning service built around Novato
Serving Novato and the wider Marin County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
Because California swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Novato calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
The busiest week of our year in Novato is the first stretch of sustained may weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Novato94947 HVAC questions, answered
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 94947?
A diagnostic visit in Novato typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Novato 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.
How often should I change my filter in 94947?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Novato 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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Novato we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
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 Novato 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.
What does a new system cost in Novato?
A complete residential replacement in the 94947 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
