What is the drive time from San Ramon to Oakland

We come over 24 through the Caldecott Tunnel into Oakland, generally 30 to 45 minutes depending on tunnel traffic. We route Oakland with Piedmont and Berkeley since they sit together off the same exits.

My Oakland bungalow has a wall furnace and no AC, what can Carrier do

A Carrier ductless heat pump is usually the cleanest fix. It replaces the wall furnace for heat and adds cooling, with no ductwork to cut in. We check your electrical service first because some old flatland panels need attention.

Can you handle a steep Oakland hills lot for an outdoor unit

Yes. We plan the condenser pad placement and line-set routing for the slope and the setbacks. On tight hill lots we sometimes wall-mount the outdoor unit, and we put the plan in the written quote.

Carrier in Oakland

Carrier heating and cooling in Oakland.

Oakland is two different HVAC towns. The flatlands are packed with pre-war bungalows and Victorians that often have gravity furnaces or wall heaters and no real cooling, while the hills above Montclair and Rockridge hold larger homes with steep lots and long duct runs. We service Carrier across both, and the right approach is very different depending on where the house sits.

The bungalows frequently have no ductwork, so converting from an old wall furnace to a Carrier ductless heat pump gives heating and cooling without tearing the house apart. The hill homes usually have ducts and take a conventional Carrier system, but the slope and the multi-level layouts mean zoning matters. Oakland's mild bay climate keeps cooling loads modest almost everywhere.

HVAC runs through Bay Area HVAC Service. EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, written quotes, seven days a week.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Wall furnace to Carrier heat pump conversions. Many Oakland flatland homes still run an old gravity or wall furnace with no AC. The common job is not a repair but a conversion to a Carrier ductless heat pump for both heating and cooling. We assess the electrical panel capacity first, since these old houses often need a panel look before adding a heat pump.
Infinity communicating thermostat and SAM module. On the hill homes running Carrier Infinity, the wall control or the SAM communication module fails and the whole system goes dark. We confirm whether it is the control, the module or the bus wiring before ordering, because the Infinity control is a real expense and we do not swap it on a hunch.
Blower motor and dirty evaporator coil. Older Carrier air handlers in the hills get a clogged evaporator coil and a tired blower motor, which kills airflow and freezes the coil. We pull and clean the coil properly, test the blower motor and capacitor, and check static pressure so the new airflow is actually correct.
