My heater or AC just stopped working - what is usually wrong?
No-heat and no-cool calls most often trace to a few causes: a failed capacitor, low refrigerant, a clogged filter starving airflow, or a tripped breaker or safety switch. A proper visit checks the thermostat, airflow and filter, electrical components, and refrigerant charge before quoting a repair. In San Francisco, historic building retrofit complexity is a local factor worth checking as well.
What does HVAC service cost in San Francisco, and do you give estimates?
Pricing depends on the system and the work involved, so we provide a written estimate before any work begins and review it with you first - no hidden fees. Routine tune-ups, targeted repairs, and full system installs each fall in different ranges. Across San Francisco's 18+ neighborhoods we offer 34+ services; call (650) 203-6702 to describe the issue and get a clear next step.
