Heating and air conditioning service built around San Anselmo
Most of the work we do in San Anselmo starts the same way: the system is running but the house is not comfortable. Before we replace anything, we measure airflow, static pressure and temperatures so you are paying for the actual fault.
Because California swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our San Anselmo 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.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

San Anselmo94979 HVAC questions, answered
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in San Anselmo most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
How often should I change my filter in 94979?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in San Anselmo 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.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 94979?
A diagnostic visit in San Anselmo 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.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in California, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into San Anselmo is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
