Our San Pablo rental has an old Comfortmaker. Who approves the repair?

Whoever owns the equipment, usually the property owner. We diagnose the system, write up the fault and the quote, and send it to the person who signs off. Tenants can book the visit and let us in; the approval just needs to be clear before work starts.

Our Comfortmaker AC still runs on R-22. What are our options?

R-22 is no longer made, so recharging a leaking R-22 system is expensive and the leak tends to come back. If the fault is electrical, like a capacitor or contactor, repairing it is reasonable. If it is a leak, we quote a new condenser and matched coil next to the repair so you can compare.

Do you work on Comfortmaker units in San Pablo East and off Rumrill Boulevard?

Yes, across San Pablo, including San Pablo East, the streets off Rumrill Boulevard and the blocks near San Pablo Avenue. Tell us where the furnace and outdoor unit sit when you book, since a small house may put them in a closet, the garage or a side yard.

Comfortmaker in San Pablo

Comfortmaker heating and cooling in San Pablo.

San Pablo lies on the plain between the north end of the Berkeley Hills and San Pablo Bay, with Wildcat Creek and San Pablo Creek running through. Its housing leans older: more homes date from the 1940s through the 1960s than from any other period, and apartment buildings and row houses sit alongside the single-family streets.

Comfortmaker is a value line, and in an older house the real question is often whether a repair still makes sense. Its parts are shared with Carrier, Heil and Tempstar, so the common failures are quick to source. Our technician for San Pablo works out of Benicia. The $99 diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair, and we put the repair and replacement numbers in writing.

Common repairs we handle.

Single-stage furnace that runs but never warms up. On a base single-stage Comfortmaker, a dirty filter, a failing blower capacitor or a closed-off return can starve the heat exchanger of air. The limit switch then cuts the burners mid-cycle. We check airflow first, then the blower parts, and restart the furnace only once the cause is fixed.
Condenser contactor pitted and chattering. The contactor switches the compressor and fan on each call for cooling. Once its points pit, it chatters, sticks closed or fails to pull in. We test it along with the run capacitor, since both wear from the same starts, and replace them as a pair when both read weak.
Duct joints leaking in the attic or crawlspace. In a small house, one loose duct joint can waste a big share of the airflow. We inspect the runs we can reach, reseal joints with mastic or foil tape, and re-strap sagging sections so the Comfortmaker's air ends up in the rooms.
