Our Southampton house still has its original ducts. Will they hold up with a Bosch IDS?

They can, if they are sealed and sized reasonably. We test static pressure and look for leaks and crushed runs in the attic. If the ducts are the limit, we tell you plainly, since no heat pump can push more air than the ducts allow.

Does the west wind in Benicia matter for where the outdoor unit sits?

A little. Wind drives leaves, dust and litter against whatever it hits, so a unit on the exposed side of the house may need its coil cleared more often. Keep a couple of feet open around the cabinet and look at the coil each spring.

What happens during the $99 visit on a Bosch heat pump?

We read the stored faults, check the sensors, electrical connections and air handler, and measure refrigerant pressures if the symptoms point there. The $99 is credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and you see the quote in writing first.

Bosch Home Comfort in Benicia

Bosch Home Comfort heating and cooling in Benicia.

Benicia grew from a small town into a bedroom suburb between 1970 and 1995, so a large share of its houses date from those years. A house from that era that had a gas furnace and central air already has the duct system a Bosch IDS heat pump is designed to use. The catch is that those ducts were sized for the old furnace, and decades in a hot attic take a toll on joints and insulation.

Summers here are dry and warm and winters moderate, so the system does real work in both seasons. Our technician is based right here in Benicia. We charge a $99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair, and put every quote in writing before work starts. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification, and our license is CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Variable-speed air handler loud and short on airflow. When the returns are undersized for the new system, the variable-speed blower ramps up to push air through, gets noisy and still falls short. We measure static pressure, check the filter and returns, and tell you whether a larger return grille or a duct repair will fix it before anyone touches a board.
Attic duct joints leaking conditioned air. A disconnected or cracked duct in a hot attic dumps cooled air where nobody lives, and the heat pump runs long without reaching setpoint. We inspect the runs we can reach, seal or reconnect failed joints and recheck supply temperatures at the registers.
Thermistor out of range and the system locking out. The IDS relies on several temperature sensors to decide how hard the compressor runs. A sensor that drifts can push it into a protective lockout or make it hunt without settling. We read the fault history, measure each sensor against its published resistance values and replace the one that is out.
