What is the drive time to Los Gatos from San Ramon?

Los Gatos is about 50 to 60 minutes from San Ramon down 680 to 880 depending on traffic. We group it with Saratoga and Los Altos Hills on South Bay routing days so the trip is efficient.

Can a single mini-split heat and cool one hillside room?

Yes, a single-zone Cooper&Hunter is built for exactly that. We size one head to the room and its exposure and leave your existing system alone. A new install is backed by 10 year parts and 10 year labor.

My old downtown house has no ducts. Is ductless a good fit?

Yes. An old home with no ductwork is the best case for a mini-split. We mount the heads where they serve the rooms without tearing up the house. New installs carry 10 year parts and 10 year labor.

Cooper&Hunter in Los Gatos

Cooper&Hunter heating and cooling in Los Gatos.

Los Gatos runs from old downtown Victorians and Craftsman homes up into the wooded hills toward the summit. The older houses often have no ducts and the hillside homes have rooms stacked into the grade that the central system never balanced. A Cooper&Hunter mini-split is a common budget answer to cool a master suite or heat a hillside room without redoing the ductwork.

The equipment is fine when it was installed and charged right. In the Los Gatos hills the line set commonly runs up grade to an upper room, and the length and bends stress the flare joints. That is the leak point I check first, and the wooded setting also loads up the outdoor coil with debris.

Los Gatos sits at the warm South Bay edge against the hills, hotter than the bay flats but shaded by the tree canopy, so loads are moderate. Most of what I repair here is charge and fitting related, which keeps a fair share of these systems in repair territory rather than replacement.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Flare leak on a hillside line set. Los Gatos hill installs run the line set up grade to an upper room, and the run stresses the flare joints until they weep. I find the leak, reflare to spec, support the line, vacuum the system, and recharge to the nameplate weight.
Outdoor coil clogged with canopy debris. The tree cover here drops leaves and needles onto the condenser coil. A clogged coil raises head pressure and cuts capacity. I clean and rinse the coil, clear the cabinet, and check that the fan motor moves the air it should.
Low charge weakening cooling and heating. A slow flare leak shows up as weak cooling in the warm months and weak heat in winter. I check superheat and subcooling, find and repair the leak, and weigh in the correct R410A charge instead of just topping it off.
