Heating Repair, Installation & Maintenance

A heating problem doesn’t always require a new system. We inspect the equipment and determine whether repair is practical before recommending installation.

Our heating services include:

Heating system repair: We diagnose and repair heating equipment for San Rafael properties.
Heating system installation: We install equipment, including high-efficiency systems, based on the property and its comfort requirements.
HVAC maintenance: We perform system checks and tune-ups for year-round comfort equipment.
Annual maintenance plans: We offer recurring service for customers who want their systems checked on a regular schedule.
Custom HVAC plans: We tailor equipment plans to San Rafael homes rather than applying the same approach to every property.

Heat Pump Installation

These systems provide both heating and cooling through one unit. We evaluate the property, current equipment, comfort priorities, and budget before discussing whether this installation option fits the project.

Our heating installation technicians are NATE certified. This industry credential tests a technician’s knowledge of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.

What to Expect from a Heating Evaluation

We begin with the comfort concern you report and an assessment of the system. For furnace and heating installation projects, we inspect the existing equipment and evaluate its repairability, operating costs, your comfort goals, and your budget. We then explain our recommendation so you can authorize the service that fits your needs.

This thorough check allows us to discuss repair or installation based on the equipment’s condition and the property’s requirements, not assumptions.

Seasonal Heating Tune-Ups

Our tune-ups include inspection, cleaning, and adjustment of system components. Each visit takes about two hours, giving our technicians time to complete more than a brief visual review.

Annual service plans provide a structured option for ongoing care. If we identify a component that needs attention, we explain the finding and recommended work before proceeding with an authorized service.

How Heat Pumps Work & MCE Rebate Eligibility

This equipment transfers heat instead of generating it directly. During cooler weather, it moves available heat indoors. In warmer weather, the process reverses to provide cooling. This method can use less electricity per unit of heating or cooling than a furnace or standard air conditioner.

San Rafael is within the MCE service area, and MCE offers rebates for qualifying systems. The equipment must be installed by a contractor on MCE’s participating contractor list to meet that program requirement.

For a single-family detached home, MCE rebate eligibility requires the applicant to own and occupy the property within the MCE service area for at least 12 months. Program terms and contractor participation can change, so homeowners should review MCE’s current requirements before relying on a rebate when planning an installation.

Heating Services FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my central air conditioner serviced?

Most experts recommend having your central air conditioner serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance will help keep your system running efficiently and prevent expensive repairs down the road.
Why does my swamp cooler smell bad?

There can be a few reasons why your swamp cooler is smelling bad. One possibility is that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the evaporative cooler isn't cleaned regularly, dirt and dust can build up, which can cause the unit to smell bad. Another possibility is that the water reservoir needs to be emptied. If the water reservoir is full of algae or other contaminants, it can cause the unit to smell bad. Finally, if the air filters aren't replaced often enough, they can start to smell bad. Contact us today for more information about how to fix a smelly swamp cooler!
What are the benefits of a central air conditioner?

What is the difference between a central air conditioner and a ductless mini split air conditioner?

A central air conditioner is a single unit that is typically installed outdoors. A ductless mini split air conditioner is a two-part system that consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit pumps refrigerant to the indoor unit, which then blows cool air into your home. Ductless mini split systems are more efficient than central air conditioners because they don't lose any cool air through ductwork. Contact us today to learn more about the differences between these two types of air conditioners.
How do I know if my evaporative cooler is working properly?

There are a few signs that your evaporative cooler is not working properly. One sign is if the unit is not blowing any air. Another sign is if the unit is not cooling the air.
