Heating and air conditioning service built around San Francisco
If your high-efficiency heat pumps and ductless mini-splits has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — San Francisco generates some of the highest call volume we handle in California. Inland valleys hit extreme heat while coastal zones stay mild, so system sizing matters more here than raw capacity.
Homes in City and County of San Francisco County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
The busiest week of our year in San Francisco is the first stretch of sustained may weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

San Francisco94130 HVAC questions, answered
What does a new system cost in San Francisco?
A complete residential replacement in the 94130 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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into San Francisco is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in San Francisco 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.
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.
How quickly can a technician get to San Francisco?
For the 94130 service area our target response time is 90-120 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
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.
