Our Watergate condo has quiet hours. Can you work around them?

Yes. Tell us the building's hours and rules when you book, and we schedule inside them. Most diagnostic work is quiet; a coil cleaning or a vacuum pump on the roof is louder, and we plan those for the times the building allows.

Does our HOA need to approve a Comfortmaker replacement?

In most condo buildings it does whenever the outdoor unit, or a roof or wall penetration, changes. We give you a written quote with the equipment model and its location so you can submit it to the HOA before anything is ordered.

Why does our Emeryville heat pump blow cool air for a while on cold mornings?

During defrost, a heat pump briefly reverses and the indoor air can feel cool. If the cool air lasts long or never turns warm, the defrost control, a sensor or the reversing valve may have failed. We check each one in turn and read any stored codes.

Comfortmaker in Emeryville

Comfortmaker heating and cooling in Emeryville.

Housing in Emeryville is mostly multi-unit, from the high-rise and mid-rise Watergate condominiums at the marina to the residential blocks along the Shellmound corridor. In units like these, heating and cooling often come from a heat pump paired with an air handler or fan coil, with the outdoor section on a roof, a ledge or a balcony.

Emeryville's weather is Mediterranean, like Oakland's, so a Comfortmaker system runs at moderate loads most of the year. The hard part is access. The technician who covers Emeryville is based in Benicia and arranges roof access and elevator time with your building before the visit. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve the work.

Common repairs we handle.

Air handler shutting off on a full condensate pan. Air handlers in condo closets sit above finished floors, so they are usually fitted with a safety switch that stops the system when the drain backs up. When the Comfortmaker quits cooling and the pan is full, we clear the drain line, flush the trap and confirm the switch resets and water flows freely.
Heat pump losing refrigerant at a joint or service valve. Long line sets running through a building have more joints, and a slow leak at one of them shows up as weak heating or cooling. We leak-search the reachable joints and service valves, repair the leak, evacuate and weigh in the charge. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for this work.
Motor module failing on a variable-speed air handler. Comfortmaker's variable-speed air handlers use a blower motor with its own control module, and the module can fail while the motor windings are fine. We test the module's input and output signals and replace only the part that has failed, which often costs less than a full motor.
